Called to Change One Life at a Time!
“Empowered for War: Close the Gap” calls us to rise in unity, walk in divine empowerment, and wage war against the forces of darkness. Like Caleb and Joshua, endurance and preparation lead to victory—God’s commission does not waver due to time or difficulty. This sermon emphasizes that encounters with the Word and the Spirit of God are necessary to fuel obedience and transformation. Drawing from Shavuot and Acts 2, it reminds us that God closes the gap first—empowering His people through His Spirit—so we can close the gaps in our own lives, in unity with our brothers, and in advancing His Kingdom. The charge is clear: fight for the restoration of creation, overcome chaos, and stand firm in the calling as warriors and priests.
Called to Change One Life at a Time!
LCM is One House. A house that has been drawn into oneness by the Spirit and Word of God. His spirit and his word has unified us to him and to the body of Christ. We are therefore called to do the same for all around us,
"War Drums” delivered by Pastors Spencer, Linton, and Abimbola is a follow up from our New Year’s Eve service where we received an incredible and exciting vision God has for us in 2025 and the years to come. The sermon “War Drums” focused our attention on how baptism is a powerful declaration of faith and a spiritual battle cry against disobedient powers. Walking through biblical stories like the flood, the Exodus, and Jesus' baptism, showed how these events represented God’s declarations of war and the preservation of His people. The message emphasized that baptism isn't just symbolic—it's a call to live righteously and actively fight God's battles. It was an inspiring reminder that we're all children of God, equipped to extend His kingdom. Our time together ended with public baptisms of men and women within our congregation, as they boldly declared their faith, and commitment to go on a war campaign against the forces of darkness by fighting heaven’s battles.
Extraordinary Oaths highlighted the scriptural imperative of making and keeping our vows to God. Drawing from Psalm 116 and Psalm 15, Pastors Matthew and Wade showcased the gravity with which God regards oaths and their powerful role in shaping Christ's character within us. They contrasted David, who faithfully upheld his oaths even in the face of suffering, with Saul, who broke his, underscoring the spiritual growth that comes from steadfast commitment. Our gathering concluded with a powerful renewal of our vows through communion, symbolizing our unwavering dedication to our King and our promises, no matter the cost.
There is a pattern that takes place when we see prophecy being fulfilled. It happens when we see a man of God rise up and take responsibility for the state of affairs surrounding him. His God in turn helps him, empowers him, and causes him to walk out the very word that scripture declares. Elder Adam Corra and Pastor Justin Linton preach this fiery message entitled "Pattern of Prophecy: Taking Responsibility" & inspire us to cultivate the ranger mentality as we head into the new year.
One Riot, One Ranger. One LCM Ranger is more than a match to enter into any situation and bring order. Like the original Texas Rangers, we bring God's judgements with us as we enter into whatever manner of situation before us trusting our God as we focus on the mission. It is an amazing responsibility that settles on us when we recognize the fact that we are the answer wherever we are. We are also filled with an amazing amount of confidence as to what the outcome will be as we step into dark situations to bring his light. Listen to this sermon from Justin Treaster and Pastor Wade Sutherland and take on your responsibilities as God's emissary on the earth.
When men know who their God is, who they are, and know their Torah they are compelled to live in a manner Worthy of the Calling. Brothers Carlos Rueda and Paul Rosales preached this inspired word where we were all encouraged to walk in a manner worthy of the calling and to do so with generations of minister's. In this way, we enter into the impossible together.
