In Mark 2, we see the compassion in the hearts of four men that led to the action of each grabbing a corner of the mat and carrying a paralyzed man from the gate of the town to the house where Jesus was. That compassion and action were so great that when the house was full and there was no way to get the man through, they determined to get the paralyzed man to the One who could do something about...

Serve with Purpose: You Were Made for This We've all heard the story of Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. It's a reminder that when something needs to be done, it’s easy to assume someone else will handle it. But what if that “someone” is you? God uniquely shaped you—not just to live life, but to make a difference. Ephesians 2:10 tells us that we are God’s workmanship, handcrafte...

Myth: Marriage is the God-ordained lifestyle : Contrary to popular belief, the Bible does not mandate Christian marriage as the superior lifestyle. While marriage is honored, biblical singleness is equally valued and allows for undivided devotion to God, as exemplified by Jesus and Apostle Paul. Myth: My Life + Someone Else = Happiness : True contentment in Christ and Christian happiness do not de...

In this message from Psalm 71:17-18, Pastor Jeff and his wife, Darlene, highlight the crucial role grandparents play in passing down biblical values and leaving a spiritual legacy for future generations.  Leaving a Legacy : The biblical values of our children and grandchildren TOMORROW depend on what we put in their hearts and minds TODAY.

In Luke 2:39-52, Mary and Joseph, the earthly parents of Jesus, face parenting challenges that offer valuable lessons for modern parents. Live a life of staunch commitment to the Lord : Mary and Joseph's annual pilgrimage to Jerusalem for Passover exemplifies their unwavering dedication to God. This commitment sets a powerful example for children, as studies show that regular church attendanc...

Marriage, as God's idea, reflects His intentions for a unique, lifelong partnership. By examining the creation of Adam and Eve, uncover what it means to be equal yet different, designed to complement, not compete. God’s creation of Eve from Adam’s rib signifies the perfect partnership, highlighting that men and women, though distinct, are meant to complete each other. Understanding these divi...

Pastor Jeff explores the often challenging but important concept of submission in the life of a Christian citizen. In this sermon from 1 Peter 2:13-17, we examine what it means to submit to governing authorities for the Lord's sake. Common misconceptions about submission are confronted, especially within the context of our modern, individualistic society. Learn how Christians can honor God th...

What does it mean to abide in Jesus?  It means to enjoy intimate moments of connection and communionwith Him. What could God do in you and through you if you were to dwell with Him daily? When Dads abide, the family thrives. When you abide in Jesus, good fruit is produced. How could your family benefit if: You led with a little more love? You led with a little more joy? You were marked by a spirit...

In life, God’s grace always precedes peace. The Biblical principle is “God helps the helpless.” When we come to the end of our rope and cry, “I cannot solve this problem. I do not have any solutions,” then God helps us. Then we are a candidate for God’s help. Then God’s grace will gird us. We’ve been told to go. Therefore, we’re to live as ones who are sent. Determine to have a gospel conversation...

We celebrate Pastor Jeff and reflect on all that God has done through him at LCC over these last 25 years!

In this sermon from Romans 13:1-7,  Pastor Will looks at the text in three sections: The Rule, the Reason, and Our Response to Government. Paul - the author of Romans - tells us that every person must submit to governing authorities because all authority comes from God. Resisting authority means resisting what God has instituted. The early belief was that accepting Jesus exempted one from worldly...

In this message from 1 Timothy 2:1-3, Pastor Jeff leads through the importance of prayer for all, especially those in authority, as a means to lead Godly lives.   For Christians, the battle isn't physical or cultural but spiritual. Shift your focus from complaining about our leaders and nations to praying for them, knowing that followers of Jesus possess unique authority and power through pra...

In this celebration of Mother's Day, we're reminded of the value and influence of the mothers in our lives.  We not only celebrate motherhood but also the resilience and wisdom of women who have walked through challenging paths, imparting invaluable lessons to us all. As we read through Proverbs 31, we encounter what many women dub as the "dreaded chapter" — the portrait of the...

In an unsettled and fear-filled world, Daniel’s vision reminds us that Christ will establish His millennial kingdom one day. Earthly kingdoms rise and fall, but God’s Kingdom will never be destroyed. As followers of Jesus, we eagerly await His return to earth! Guest Speaker: Dr. John Hull from Eastside Baptist Church in Marietta, GA If you prayed with Dr. Hull to follow Jesus, we'd love to co...

In this message from Daniel 5, we're reminded that God's sovereignty reigns supreme, His judgments are sure, and His offer of salvation stands open to all who would humble themselves before Him. We never know when our last moment will be. And as we reflect on the fate of Belshazzar, may we heed the warning of the handwriting on the wall and turn our hearts toward the true King of the Uni...

In this sermon from Daniel 4, Pastor Jeff challenges us to reassess our priorities. Are we building our own fleeting kingdoms, or are we investing in the eternal kingdom of God? Will we stubbornly cling to our own version of truth, or will we surrender to the undeniable truth of God's Word? In the end, the choice is clear: God's kingdom surpasses all others, His glory is unmatched, and H...

Using truths from Daniel 3 and the story of the Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace, Pastor Anthony explores what it means to stand firm in your faith no matter what.  When you stand on the truth of God, you will not drift with the tides of culture.

Set against the backdrop of Babylonian captivity around 600 years before Jesus, Daniel faces immense pressure to conform to the new culture imposed upon him. Despite being taken captive to Babylon and experiencing drastic changes in his surroundings, language, and customs, Daniel remains steadfast in his faith and devotion to God. Through Daniel's example, we're encouraged to remain stea...

In the midst of life's challenges and uncertainties, we are reminded that the King still has one more move. Just as He intervened throughout history—whether through the parting of seas, the deliverance from lions' dens, or the victory over death itself—so too does He offer hope and redemption to each of us today. Regardless of where you find yourself in your own story, the invitation rem...

In this message on Palm Sunday, Pastor Jeff explores the reactions of people during the arrival of Jesus in Jerusalem: the Creator of the Universe, riding humbly on a donkey into the dusty streets of Jerusalem. As we look further into the accounts of those who witnessed this event, we find a spectrum of responses that resonate even today. Some reacted with indifference and even hostility, unable t...

In this Encounter with Jesus, we look deeper into Jesus’ encounters with Herod and Pilate during His arrest and trials. Jesus, accused by the Jewish leaders of blasphemy and treason, stood before both the Sanhedrin and Pilate with unwavering silence. The accusations hurled at Jesus, particularly the charge of blasphemy, held significant weight in the eyes of the Jewish high priest and the Sanhedri...

How can we have the faith of Thomas without the experience of Thomas? In this encounter with Jesus, we take a closer look at Jesus’ encounter with Thomas after His resurrection in John 20:24-29. Despite being a disciple and walking closely with Jesus, Thomas didn’t believe that Jesus was truly raised from the dead until he had tangible evidence. Jesus meets Thomas's doubts with compassion, pr...

In this Encounter with Jesus in John 8:1-11, we explore the story of Jesus and the woman caught in adultery. It starts with Jesus teaching in the Temple courts, interrupted by religious leaders who bring forth a woman caught in the act of adultery, setting up a trap to test Jesus.  Jesus responds by stooping down and writing on the ground, prompting the accusers to leave one by one after He challe...
