LYA Sermon Podcast

This week at LYA, we look at John 4:10–26 and discover how Jesus invites us to drink from the living water that truly satisfies. Through His conversation with the Samaritan woman, Jesus reveals that true worship begins when we allow our desires to lead us to Him, confront the things that have left us empty, and learn to worship God on His terms. Because worship isn’t about preference, performance,...

This week, we explords what true worship really is through Romans 12:1–2. Worship isn’t just music — it’s offering our whole lives to God as a “living sacrifice.” Paul reminds us that we don’t worship to earn God’s mercy; we worship because we’ve already received it. True worship is surrender — moving from “I have to” into “I get to.” And as we continually allow God to renew our minds, we become a...

Why do we call Jesus “Lord,” yet still live our own way? In this message from the Questions from Jesus series, we look at Luke 6:46–49 and unpack what it really means to follow Him. Jesus shows us that genuine faith is marked by obedience, built on a firm foundation, and proven by lasting fruit. Because when He’s truly Lord — obedience becomes joy, storms can’t shake you, and your life begins to b...

Ever feel anxious about your future, finances, relationships—or even your anxiety itself? This week at LYA, we look at what Jesus says in Matthew 6:25–33 about worry and how true peace comes not from control, but from trust. We’ll unpack the biggest sources of anxiety facing young adults today and how Jesus offers a better way: to believe you’re deeply valued by Him and to seek His kingdom first....

Without a doubt, we all have questions for Jesus—but have you ever considered the questions He asks us? In the Gospels, Jesus asks over 300 questions, not to gain information but to reveal truth and invite us deeper into relationship with Him. In Matthew 16, He poses the most important one: “Who do you say that I am?” This question isn’t just for Peter—it’s for every one of us. Opinions about Jesu...

Kicking off our new series, Questions from Jesus, Pastor AJ dives into one of the most personal moments between Jesus and Peter in John 21. Jesus asks Peter, “Do you love me more than these?” It’s a question that echoes through time and lands in our own hearts today. For young adults navigating relationships, careers, and identity, the call of Jesus is clear: love Him above everything else and let...

This week at LYA, we explore the life-changing reality of what it means to be “in Christ.” If God has said “no” to everything else, He has already said the ultimate “yes” in Jesus. The resurrection isn’t just hope for tomorrow—it’s power for today. From Romans 8 to Galatians 5 and Philippians 1, we see how the Spirit sets us free, gives us access to the Father, and secures our place as children of...

This week at LYA, Pastor Daniel dives into what it means to walk through seasons when God says “no.” With passion and honesty, he reminds us that God’s presence is real whether or not we feel it, that He is love, peace, and freedom, and that every longing of our hearts can be met in Him. Drawing from Jacob’s midnight wrestling match in Genesis 32, the message explores how God uses struggle, unansw...

When God says “no,” it isn’t the end of the story. Sometimes He says no to protect us, to humble us, or to prepare us for something far better. In this message, we’ll see how God used Paul’s thorn to shape him, how Horatio Spafford found peace in tragedy, and how God can use His “no” in your life to lead you into His greater “yes.” Join us every Tuesday in the LSM Building on Tuesdays at 7 p.m. &...

In Week 3 of our Fully Devoted series, we unpack what it really means to lay our lives down at the altar. Being fully devoted to Jesus isn’t just about public worship — it’s about private surrender, sacrificial obedience, and doing the will of the Father even when no one’s watching. This message challenges us to ask: If God asked for my most valuable possession, my future, or even my life — would...

What does it really mean to be fully devoted to Jesus—not just in the easy areas, but in every part of your life? This week at LYA, we talked about how true devotion starts with first understanding how radically devoted Jesus is to us, and how His grace—not our effort—transforms our hearts to follow Him. Follow us on Instagram @lyahampton and join us every Tuesday at 7 p.m.!

This week at LYA, we started our new series, Fully Devoted. We dove into what it truly means to follow Jesus with your whole life—loving Him above all else, surrendering completely, and counting the cost.

This week we dived headfirst into a powerful night of raw, rapid-fire questions about faith—tackling everything from tithing, tattoos, and temptation to spiritual warfare, suffering, sexuality, and Scripture itself. No topic is too heavy or too honest as we wrestle with real doubts, hard truths, and what it means to follow Jesus in a complicated world.

This week at LYA, we leaned into some of the most honest questions about faith, forgiveness, sin, and what it really means to follow Jesus in a broken world. If you've ever wondered how to stay faithful when life feels heavy or questioned whether God can still use you after failure—this conversation is for you. Join us every Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the LSM Building & follow us on Instagram for more u...

What is God’s will for my life? In this week’s sermon, Pastor Daniel explored five key channels—God’s commands, godly community, His circumstances, personal calling, and divine confirmation—that help us tune our hearts to hear and follow His good, pleasing, and perfect will. Join us every Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the LSM Building & follow us on Instagram @lyahampton.

This week, Pastor Daniel reminded us of the weight of the mission Jesus gave us—to go into all the world and live as His hands and feet. Inspired by the story of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10, Pastor Daniel confronts our comfort, opens our eyes to the hurting around us, and challenges us to step into the kind of love that takes action and costs something. Join us every Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the LSM...

This week, Pastor AJ dives into how the Great Commission isn’t just about going overseas—it’s a call to make disciples right where we are, among the people who know our flaws, insecurities, and everyday struggles. When the mission of Jesus becomes greater than our fear of being known, we begin to see lives transformed through ordinary obedience. Join us every Tuesday at 7 in the LSM building!

Kicking off our new series, “All The Earth,” this week’s sermon challenges the staggering reality that most believers can’t define the Great Commission—and calls us back to the urgency and authority behind Jesus’ final command. Through Matthew 28, we’re reminded that making disciples isn’t optional, it’s obedience—and it’s a mission for everyday people, not just pastors or missionaries. Join us in...

We've spent the last three weeks talking about some foundational parts of our faith, but now what? Pastor John Dickerson shares how following Jesus starts with abiding in Him, walking in faith, and simply doing what He says. The message encourages us to move from spiritual activity to a real relationship and to take our next step with Jesus. Join us every Tuesday in the LSM Building at our Hampton...

How do we know we can trust that God is real & the Bible is true? In this week’s sermon, Pastor AJ shared how God has revealed Himself through general revelation—creation and conscience—and more fully through special revelation—His inspired Word, the person of Jesus, and the Scriptures that invite us into a saving relationship with Him and a firm foundation for life. Join us every Tuesday in the L...

In this this week’s sermon, Pastor AJ spoke on the truth that we are created in God’s image, yet broken by sin, leading to separation from Him—but through Jesus, we are offered a new identity as redeemed and restored. We unpack what this means for our lives today, challenging the lies we believe and embracing the freedom found in Christ. Join us every Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the LSM Building of our H...
