One German author from the early twentieth century said of Jesus, “He is the Archimedian point where the world can be shifted from its axis‐‐‐He and none other”. No point in history more clearly illustrates this fact than the last moments on the cross. The earth shook and it was reported by secular historians as far away as Rome, but more importantly the very heavens were shaken and the results li...

Our sermon title is a colloquialism that is used to indicate events, phrases, or situations that make you stop and think deeply about something. This message examines some of the contradictions, ironies, and paradoxes in the Word that were meant to get us to stop and think deeply about the profound truth being expressed. While the message certainly draws from the Pauline epistles, Yeshua was the r...

Yeshua's teaching is life to those who receive it, but it did not occur in a vacuum. The first century was a thriving cultural milieu that Judaism flourished in. This message casts additional light on the Jewish background of “The Lord's Prayer” and expounds on the Hebraic understanding of the Kingdom of Heaven.

One can scarcely turn on the radio or TV today without hearing dire predictions for the economy of our nation and the world at large. Yeshua taught, 19 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and ste...

This message relates the proper interaction between believers and the Word. Additionally, it draws on the books of Jeremiah and Matthew to illustrate God's purpose in individual lives. We pray that you are blessed by what you hear.

Sermon for Sunday AM December 28, 2008.

This message details the continual conflict between the cultures defined by powerful Gentile nations and the Biblical culture of ancient Israel. More specifically, the historical context that Yeshua was born into is considered and the Hellenizing of His movement in the centuries subsequent to His earthly ministry. Lastly, our view of the light in which believers should view Saint Nicholas is discu...

This is Part 3 to the Rapture teaching series

This message covers the history and discovery of the magnificent Peruvian City of Machu Picchu with its untold history of rival. Additionally, the story of a Cretan Poet and his unique relationship to the Apostle Paul is covered in lenght. I pray that you are encouraged at the awesome working of our God.

This message is an informal discussion on the doctrine of the Resurrection. As you listen please notice that much of the church's language doesn't resemble the first century Apostles.

A revolution (from the Latin revolutio, "a turn around") is a fundamental change in power or organizational structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time. Most revolutions have a conspicuous symbol or event that becomes associated with the movement and serves to motive and mobilize the people. One such symbol is the Liberty Bell. A popular encyclopedia said the following: “The L...

There is seldom a subject that produces more controversy than eschatology. This informal message is a recording of a discussion within LCMF on the subject of the theory known as Pre-tribulation Rapture and its originator John Nelson Darby. Time did not permit the discussion to comprehensively cover the subject, but the most popular scriptures used to support the theory were addressed as well as th...

Hello, Friends Believers are rarely if ever tricked by the devil into planning and committing malicious actions. When confronted with obviously evil options most believers simply cast the thought down. Our enemy is described in the Word as subtle. Is it possible to have a calling and goal from God but carry it out in an evil manner? This message considers the many "good things" that have been plan...

Hello, Friends What does it mean when people say they want a "Christian Education"? Is Christian mathematics different from secular mathematics? How about Physics? Is the music you listen to Christian because of the lyrical content or the person who sings it? This message examines the meaning of "Christian Education". LCMF Staff

Hello, Friends only eight people survived the global deluge of the ancient world. The flood was amazing grace for a remnant and awesome judgment for the majority. Later, two peoples entered the Red Sea. The waters were saving for one nation and judging for another. We invite you to consider both the kindness and sternness of Yahweh God as you listen to this message on baptism. It is our hope that...

This message was brought to us by Matthew Perot. While in the midst of a large building project God began to deal with him regarding the refining aspects of frustration. Frustration has been inherent to the creation from Genesis 3 forward. Matthew's unique insight into this powerful force is both refreshing and empowering. We pray that you are blessed by what you hear.

Hello, Friends This message was originally delivered on a Sunday Morning to our local body. The theme deals with God's demonstrated ability to see the end from the beginning. Drawing extensively from the Hebrew Prophet Isaiah, this message encourages the community of believers to demonstrate their trust by acting in obedience to the Word. Looking in the rear view mirror we can see that Isaiah prop...

Hello, Friends There are seven statements that Yeshua made while upon the cross. Amazingly, the entirety of the Gospel can be found in them. This message is only 30 minutes long because it was delivered after a moving worship service Wednesday night, but it is full of study material that is sure to enrich your life. We pray you are blessed by what you learn. LCMF Staff

Hello, Friends Dissent is not usually something valued! In fact, it is usually an ugly word; but, the ancient Hebrews had quite a different view. During the period of Israel's history known as the Zuggots, pairs of teachers rose to instruct Israel. These teachers usually came from opposing points of view but worked in conjunction with each other to provide Israel with a holistic view of God's trut...

Hello, Friends This message was derived largely from the experiences of an ancient woman named Yochbed. Her astounding faith has resulted in blessings for the entire world. In this age where the phrase, "Paid to play", usually makes reference to a spoiled professional athlete it may seem like an odd thing to say about a Hebrew woman that lived 3500 years ago, but I encourage you to listen! We pray...

Hello, Friends This short message was originally delivered on a Wednesday night. It deals with the usage of the word Door in the Biblical text. Hebrew "Pethach" or Greek "Thura" both show up in the most interesting of circumstances. Please listen and be encouraged about what stands between you and danger. LCMF Staff

Hello, Friends This short message was originally delivered on a Wednesday night to our local body. Sin can not keep God away from you but it often keeps you away from God. The enemy is a master of deception and one of his most powerful tools is an unhealthy sense of shame. This message teaches believers to deal rightly with their failures and come boldly before God

Hello, Friends The presence of God is an awesome thing! He is capable of being light to Israel while at the same time darkness to Egypt. His presence shades us from the sun and leads us into the best places for us to take up residence. This message examines the benefits and responsibilities for those who wish to dwell with God by way of faith in Yeshua. We pray that your life is enriched by what y...

Hello, Friends This message was originally delivered on a Wednesday evening and is only about 45 minutes long. The subject was Bar Mitzvah. Please listen carefully as you hear about the transition that God expects his people to make from infancy to maturity. It is our hope that everyone hearing this message is compelled to grow in the Kingdom. LCMF Staff
