Andy continues in week two of the sermon series by taking a deeper look at the kingdom of heaven that so many of us claim to belong to. 

Andy starts a new sermon series called "Kingdom Parables." Today, we discuss Matthew 13, "The Parable of the Sower." Which type of soil best represents your heart right now? None of us are exempt - we all fall into one of these categories. There's no time like the present to start experiencing the kingdom in your life.

Trey Hardimon concludes the Make Waves sermon series with a message on living a life consistently surrendered to the Holy Spirit.

Do you ever feel like you don't really fit in here? There's a reason for that. Andy shares a message about how we can live in the tension of being homesick for our eternal home while living out the kingdom of heaven here on Earth.

LCC Kids Minister Kelsie Koch reminds us that our Savior has the power to calm storms, and He is ready to walk with us through whatever storms we are facing.

Andy continues in week 3 of the sermon series with a lesson from Daniel 6 on true faithfulness.

Fathers – parents – we have a God-ordained responsibility to steward our families faithfully. If you are not currently being faithful with what God has entrusted to you, welcome to the club. Andy shares an encouraging message for you today, and it’s so important. Leading a family is stewardship, and every single one of us will be held accountable. “The Most High could have given your family to any...

“Our faith is not shaped by what God does – our faith is shaped by who God is.” “Our faith is not shaped by what God does for me today, because my faith is shaped by what Jesus has already done for me on the cross.” “Being a Jesus follower was never meant to be a solo act – it is always better to stand together than to bow alone.” “The first step to standing through your troubles is understanding...

Spend time in worship during a special Worship Sunday service at LCC.

“[The Israelites] were different because of the God they followed… because followers of God follow the authority of God.” “Sin doesn’t just belong in the Old Testament with people like Adam and Eve and Achan… the Bible tells us in Romans 3:23 that all have sinned. All have fallen short of the glory of God.” “In the Bible, the word sin is an archery word. It means ‘to miss the mark.’ The mark, of c...

“There are times that we as Christians don’t grasp the seriousness of our own sin.” “At the core of every problem in the world today… is sin.” “If our options are to deal with our sin or to minimize our sin, I get why we choose to minimize. And here’s why: as a fallen people living in a fallen world, this is our natural reaction to sin. Ever since the Garden of Eden, the reaction to sin has been t...

LCC Student Minister Trey Hardimon starts a new sermon series this week, "It Wasn't Me."

There's little in this world that is more beautiful and life-giving than a good and Godly mom, because when it really comes down to it, the attributes of a good mom come straight from the heart of God. Andy shares a special message for this Mother's Day, "Generation to Generation." “Sometimes the greatest pain brings about the greatest reminders of how blessed we’ve been.” “There’s little in this...

Andy shares a powerful sermon called "To the Streets." As you listen to this week's message, consider the following two questions. One - when is the last time you undeniably saw the work of the Holy Spirit in our around you? Two - right now, right where you are - what does the Holy Spirit want you to do? Let this message challenge you to pray for opportunities to share the hope of Jesus with those...

On Easter Sunday, Andy shares a powerful retelling of the Resurrection and the hope that this event gives each of us today. This event changed the entire course of history… and it can change the entire course of your life, too. “Yes, they did kill Jesus… but that’s not the end.” “The very people who spent the most time with Jesus… they completely blew off the initial reports of the Resurrection as...

Andy concludes our “Easter Eggs” sermon series with the story of the Passover. During Passover, the blood from a lamb without defect was required to satisfy the destroyer… an “Easter egg” to the coming Lamb of God, whose blood paid our debt and who was sacrificed to forgive our sins. You may have heard this message before – don’t miss it. Take a step back and behold – the Lamb of God, who takes aw...

LCC Lead Minister Andy Turner continues in week 2 of our “Easter Eggs” sermon series with a passage from Isaiah 53 about the coming Messiah, who was nothing like everyone at the time expected. The suffering servant – Jesus Christ – took the punishment for all of us, not because he deserved it, but because it was God’s plan to restore the effects of sin in a fallen world. Andy challenges us this we...

LCC Discipleship Minister Daniel Koch begins a new sermon series this week about “Easter Eggs” hidden in the Bible. In week 1, we discuss the story of the serpent in the Garden of Eden in the Book of Genesis. Daniel reminds us of the “first Good News” shared in the Bible, in Gen. 3:15, when God said to the serpent, “He will crush your head and you will strike his heel.” When all seems overwhelming...

Andy concludes our “Seven Words” series with a message about Jesus’s words to the lukewarm church of Laodicea and a challenge to all believers to truthfully answer, “What are your expectations …whenever you come to church? Or whenever you open up scripture? Do you expect to encounter Jesus? Do you expect to be convicted… or do you expect nothing?” “There is something so beautiful about the prayer,...

People often ask “what is God’s will for my life?” Andy shares some lessons that we can learn from the church in Philadelphia, as we continue in week 6 of this sermon series. Let this week’s message challenge you to move beyond asking for direction as you learn to recognize God’s voice and walk through the open doors He has already placed in your life. “You look at the world, and you see it fallin...

Being spiritually alive means more than just calling yourself a Christian. LCC’s Student Minister Trey Hardimon continues with week 5 of our “Seven Word” sermon series with a message about the church of Sardis, a church with a reputation for being alive and well-known in their community but spiritually dead. This week’s sermon shares an important message about what it means to be truly repentant a...

The church in Thyatira appears to be the most insignificant out of the seven in Revelation – but there is no such thing as an insignificant church to Jesus. Andy continues in week 4 of our series to share more about Jesus’s words to this church that was full of love but empty of truth. Thyatira was being infiltrated by a Jezebel-like person, a story that’s as old as time and still affects churches...

Andy continues in the “Seven Words” series by sharing about the church of Pergamum – a church that struggled with compromise in the center of pagan worship at the time. How do we, as followers of Jesus today, live in the world and not be of the world? How do we live as Jesus did – full of truth AND full of grace… and why does it matter? As Christians, we are called to be the light of the world – a...
