Impossible
July 24, 2022 19:23 - 1 hour - 101 MB“Impossible” preached by Elder Eric was a foundational reminder of the simple but timeless and powerful kingdom truths. Often times, we think that we (the church of Jesus Christ) are the ones with an impossible task. This is simply not the truth. The one with the impossible task are those who stand in opposition to the church of God. They simply cannot overcome the church; it is impossible for them! As believers, we must walk in this reality that the church of the living God simply cannot be ...
I Will Make You
July 22, 2022 02:49 - 1 hour - 66.6 MBPastors Matt and Wade blessed us with this message entitled "I Will Make You". As we examined the lives of Jeremiah, Ezra, Peter, and Stephen, we found one common thread in all of them. They did not drop out of the sky already formed into the powerful, mature men of God that we read about in the scripture. They all demonstrated the evidence of needing to be "made" into what God said they would be. This brings us comfort because we still need to be "made" into all that God has said we will be....
Worthy
July 17, 2022 18:34 - 1 hour - 69.8 MB“Worthy” preached by Pastor Payton and Pastor Matt helped us re-center our focus on the trajectory the Lord is aiming our body at. We are learning how to walk in greater levels of discernment to distinguish between those who are worthy of receiving of God’s right order from you versus those who are not. While we are in the world, we are not of the world. Our good Father has established core fundamentals of faith for us, and we will not be bribed, intimidated, or seduced away from the undeniab...
Free Will
July 15, 2022 02:49 - 53 minutes - 48.9 MBWhat a privilege it is that we get to build the kingdom together! Our heavenly Father grants us the opportunity to participate in that building as we choose to lay down our lives for heaven's cause. Each of us can glory in that fact as we set our gaze on eternity and what is being stored up there. Nothing we have or could give can amount to the glory that awaits God’s obedient children. Brothers Paul Rosales and Justin Linton spur us on towards love and good deeds with this message entitled “...
Beyond the Obligatory
July 10, 2022 18:23 - 1 hour - 91.1 MB“Beyond the Obligatory” preached by Pastors Judah, Nik, Matt, and Wade was a refreshing reminder of what it means to truly be in the faith and making good on our promise to at all cost put the Kingdom first. We were challenged, encouraged, and spurred on to show our faith by our deeds and were stirred by the word through the examples of men who gave everything for the Kingdom to make it as far as us! Now it is our turn. Not a onetime giving of our lives, but a continual sacrifice of our lives...
Light The Fire Again
July 08, 2022 02:48 - 52 minutes - 48.2 MBNo mourning, no weeping, no wailing, or drowning in despair. We've received a mandate from our heavenly father that when insidious internal obstacles are found in us, we call on the Lord to set fire to those things, we get up, and go to work. This is the encouragement that we received from Pastor Payton Parsons and brother Justin Treaster in this message entitled "Light The Fire Again". We are putting to death mission drift by setting fire to everything in us that opposes God's will in our li...
Pathway to Perfection
July 03, 2022 18:21 - 1 hour - 65.2 MB“Pathway to Perfection” preached by Pastor Matt and Pastor Wade taught us to fully embrace the only pathway to become perfected as Jesus was perfected. Part of this pathway to perfection includes suffering, reverent submission, and completing the work he has assigned for us to do. Another thing we learned is the only way to progress down this pathway is perfect unity with the Lord and with our brothers. Jesus is one with the Father and the Father is one with him and we have been called to aim...
We're Not Ashamed
July 01, 2022 02:21 - 1 hour - 55.2 MBWe have been incredibly blessed as we learn to move about between the mountains of transformation (Ebal) and blessings (Gerizim). Rightly bearing the yoke under one shoulder (Shechem) is becoming lighter because our father is perfecting our unity with Him and with one another. But in order to ascend to the heights, he has intended us to we must first do away with all shame. Pastor Nik and brother Paul Rosales give us plenty to chew on in this message entitled "We're Not Ashamed". The 4 "steak...
Shouldering the Load
June 26, 2022 18:03 - 1 hour - 65.9 MB“Shouldering the Load” preached by Pastor Payton, Pastor Wade, and Pastor Matt stirred and spurred us onto a greater revelation of the city of Shechem. We learned that Shechem is not just a city but is rich with life, biblical revelation, and encounters that shaped the history of the nation of Israel. Men like Abraham, Isaac, and Joshua all had experiences with the God of Israel at Shechem. As saints of the living God, we are called to live and have experiences with the Lord at Shechem. Exper...
Veni, Vidi, Vici
June 24, 2022 02:54 - 43 minutes - 39.7 MBHow good it is to be reminded of our first love! We're talking about the first time we came to know him. We were sure that we were not perfected, but at the same time were receiving the promise of what he would do with us if we submitted our entire lives to him. Pastor Nik, Brother Adam Corra, and Pastor Matt remind us of this concept in this message entitled "Veni, Vidi, Vici". In this sermon, we are reminded that we are to approach the altar with joy because of what he is making us into. Re...
Eureka, I found it!
June 19, 2022 18:32 - 1 hour - 71.9 MBElder Eric, Pastor Judah, and Pastor Wade bring a refreshing view to the subject of salvation being a journey and the ever-growing awareness that there are still things in our lives that need to be worked out in walk with the Lord. In this sermon entitled “Eureka, I found it!”, they addressed the misconception in the Christian faith that because we once met the Lord at an altar, we now no longer need to revisit the altar and are living in the “blessing” of the Lord. When in reality, the Chris...
You Are
June 17, 2022 02:14 - 45 minutes - 41.3 MBIn the last 30 days, the Lord has been transforming what we define as Holy and Masculine. We have talked about dominion, cultivation, saviors, sages, and glory bearers, being admonished to become like our God. Because we have been working to put these things into practice, we can know for sure that he is multiplying our efforts. In this sermon entitled " You Are", Pastor Matthew Perot and brother Justin Linton encourage the body in that we are the glory bearers of God and that we can be confi...
Glory Rolls Downhill
June 12, 2022 19:19 - 1 hour - 86.1 MB“Glory Rolls Downhill” preached by Pastor Wade, Pastor Nik, and Pastor Payton walked us through a beautiful understanding of what it means to be a glory bearer. We are made in the image of God and are called to be his glory bearers. Glory from the Father that flows downhill into his right order of shalom. Unfortunately, there are other competing interest in our lives and we are being shown the way we seek our own glory. Fortunately, our heavenly father is equipping us with the revelation that...
You Are Still Not Special
June 10, 2022 03:10 - 1 hour - 61.2 MBIn this reflection on Sunday's message entitled "You're Not Special". the brothers dig deeper into the concept of what makes a sage. A sage is one who has experienced God's dominion, cultivation, and salvation over multiple seasons in his life. This experience is what moves him to respond to God's authority & this response leads us to transfer the impact of that revelation adequately. This is how one becomes sagely in his word and deed. But before we taste of this we must come to grips with t...
You Are Not Special
June 05, 2022 18:08 - 1 hour - 80.7 MB“You Are Not Special” preached by Elder Eric, Pastor Matt, and Pastor Wade is a timely message for our body and our current day. We have been told for most of our lives that we were special because of our physical traits, intellect, or the hardships we have faced. The biblical reality is none of these things actually make us special and the word of God makes this clear. Our pastors walk us through the first four steps of the 5 Traits of Holy Masculinity and we learn what actually make a man o...
The Savior Complex
June 03, 2022 03:00 - 1 hour - 62.5 MBAs we continue to discuss how the ideal biblical man functions, an essential part of the discussion is the "savior" complex that we all have. God has deposited inside each of us the desire to save that which is under our care. But without the essential foundation of dominion and cultivation being appropriately applied, this Godly attribute becomes a sort of pseudo-savior, a counterfeit, effeminate imitation of what a man is supposed to be. Our pastors Judah and Nik open our eyes to the scheme...
Maximizing Your Manhood
May 29, 2022 17:55 - 1 hour - 80 MBPastor Judah, Pastor Payton, and Pastor Wade preached a fantastic sermon entitled ‘Maximizing Your Manhood”, where we learned the true intent of cultivation and the process by which our good Father works into us what is good and pleasing to him. Through desert like circumstances and difficulty, hindrances, idolatry, and competing interests are removed and we are brought into the full manhood of Christ. This is what cultivation was always meant to produce in us and this is how we maximize our ...
Biblically Adherent Male
May 27, 2022 03:02 - 1 hour - 67.5 MBJesus was THE man! He is the example that we look to in order to determine what it is to be a "Biblically Adherent Male". Jesus knew what was in his dominion and he had God's heart for everything in his care. We learn in this sermon entitled "Biblically Adherent Male" to reflect the character and dominion that he displays. Like Jesus, we're not asking permission to be dominators of what's in our field, nor are we apologizing for it. We are learning to love everyone and everything in our care ...
Masculine Holiness
May 22, 2022 17:45 - 1 hour - 64.9 MBToday, we looked into a much-needed biblical truth that in our present day has been water down, neutered, and downright misunderstood. “Masculine Holiness” preached by Pastor Wade and Pastor Payton expound on the 5 traits that great men of God display in their actions. King Jesus who is the perfect model of these things, calls us to walk as he did. Starting first with the man of the home and then flowing down into his family. This is the biblical model, and this is who we are.
Semper Fidelis, Semper Gumby
May 20, 2022 02:02 - 54 minutes - 50.1 MBReflecting on the process by which God makes men into righteous oaks, we look to the Father of the faith, Abraham. Abraham was a mighty righteous oak who faithfully followed the Lord throughout the cycles of growth in his life. In him, we see the old military adage exemplified "Semper Fidelis, Semper Gumby" or "Always Faithful, Always Flexible". From him, we learn to glory in the Lord's ability to take what is currently dead & breathe life into it. This revelation is supposed to give us the c...
Husbandry
May 15, 2022 18:10 - 1 hour - 84.5 MBWhat a fantastic word delivered by Elder Eric and Pastor Judah entitled “Husbandry”. We were brought through the biblical lens of the process by which God cultivates man. In this call to husbandry, we must develop the areas that the Lord has highlighted to us while trusting him to makes things grow. This is because we are in a covenantal relationship with our good Father that is meant to produce life inside of us and life in the world around us. This call and process of husbandry is what we n...
Hands Off My Fruits
May 13, 2022 02:39 - 57 minutes - 52.9 MBIn this message preached by brothers Justin Treaster and Adam Corra, we continue with a theme of growing in an appreciation of the agricultural background that every Israeli would have related to the promises in the Tanakh. To you and me here in America, there is not much unique about fruit production, but to a Jew, fruit being produced in Israel is a direct fulfillment of prophecy. Throughout their entire history as a people, they have to fight for their promises to be fulfilled, while at th...
Training to Reproduce
May 08, 2022 17:37 - 1 hour - 58.7 MB“Training to Reproduce” preached by Pastor Payton, Pastor Matt, and Pastor Wade encouraged and spurred us on to what the original mandate to mankind was, to be fruitful and increase in number. The process and mechanism for this to take place requires there to be plowing, planting, growing, and harvesting that occurs in a cyclical pattern. We must take an honest assessment of our lives to know where we are in the cycle especially after an abundant harvest has taken place. When we know the cond...
Trained to Triumph
May 06, 2022 02:20 - 51 minutes - 47.3 MBComing off an amazing Sunday where we talked about the continuous cultivation that we are performing as international harvesters, Pastor Matt & Pastor Nik call us up higher to the warrior status we have been given. In this sermon entitled "Trained to Triumph", we received the revelation that we are warriors, and we are continually being made into warriors through battle. It's through the journey that men of God are made, and our faithful father is making sure that we are trained to triumph. W...
International Harvesters
May 01, 2022 17:53 - 1 hour - 82 MBElder Eric and Pastor Judah delivered this fantastic sermon this morning entitled “International Harvesters”. We are constantly faced with the reality of the death that must take place in us in order for resurrection life to spring forth. This death is not to be understood as something that happened a long time ago at the cross nor should resurrection be looked at as solely a future event. Rather we are to have a revelation that this is a cyclical process of crucifying moments that reveal the...
Donkeys, Death and Royal Studs
April 29, 2022 02:31 - 57 minutes - 52.8 MBAs the sun is setting in one place, it rises in another. How much more so with our lives? As there is death in one area, resurrection life springs up from that very same place. It is the present cruxificion that actually allows for something better to be built back in its place. Because of this, we are learning more and more about how to welcome and walk in the death to resurrection life cycle. This cycle is for the here and now, in our lives today. Listen to this message from Pastors Payton,...
Do You Believe?
April 24, 2022 17:38 - 1 hour - 59.4 MBPastor Matt and Pastor Wade deliver a powerful sermon entitled “Do You Believe?”. In this sermon, we learned that the process of redemption is not a one time act done in the past, nor is the process of resurrection a one time act done in the future. In the kingdom, both redemption and resurrection are needed daily. As we clinch with the daily death that must take place inside of us, we find his redemption and his resurrection power at work in our lives. We must die daily and believe he will r...
Somehow
April 22, 2022 02:11 - 49 minutes - 45.7 MBYou know, if we take some of the Apostle Paul's assertions about attaining the power of the resurrection & his abilities to reflect Christ to others at face value, it may seem as if he is uncertain about the final outcome. All too often, we could be tempted to reflect the same "seeming" uncertainty in our lives. But Pastors Wade Sutherland and Nik Arezina crush this uncertainty with this powerful sermon entitled "Somehow". By understanding the Netzer principle, we learn that just as Jesus the...
M.I.A.
April 17, 2022 17:37 - 1 hour - 67.2 MB“M.I.A” preached by Elder Eric and Pastor Payton admonished us to take on the personal responsibility to walk in the resurrection life that is found in Jesus. It is not enough for us to know that Jesus resurrected from the dead, but we are called to live in light of the resurrection. Experiencing his resurrection power daily at work in us through the laying down of our lives and taking steps of faith filled actions that empower the next generation to go even further. Let your inspiration in t...
Death To Glory
April 15, 2022 02:49 - 1 hour - 65.1 MBDuring a time when we reflect on the crucifixion of our Lord and contemplate it, brothers Carlos Rueda and Justin Treaster share this amazing word. By looking into Jesus's life & inserting ourselves into the story, we begin to reflect on his divinely submissive character in a way that must change us. His willingness to endure death continuously brings us life and shows us how we must follow. The brothers remind us that death comes before glory in our lives, just as it did for our Lord. The be...
Trail to Triumph
April 10, 2022 17:14 - 49 minutes - 44.9 MBWhat a beautiful time we are living in. “Trail to Triumph” preached by Pastor Nik Arežina walked us through a beautiful symbolic understanding of Palm Sunday. As the body of Christ, we all have the personal responsibility to lay down our cloaks to make a level path for Messiah and the generations that come after us. The branches and cloaks we are laying down are the symbolic sign that we have the victory through King Jesus. This is the path to the resurrection. This is the path in building th...
Life is a Highway
April 08, 2022 01:58 - 45 minutes - 41.2 MBOur good father is being good to his church! He is leveling out our lives and building in us the highway of holiness that we may walk in! Valleys are being raised up, mountains are being laid low, and rough places are being made smooth! Pastors Matt, Wade, and Nik remind us how and why to have joy in the midst of this process! Because of what we know it is producing not only for us, but also for our generations, we can shout " I like it, I love it, I want some more of it!". Join with us on th...
A Couple of Ordinary Asses
April 03, 2022 17:31 - 1 hour - 78.7 MBIt is good to be in the house of the Lord! Today we were blessed by the word brought by Elder Eric and Pastor Judah, “A Couple of Ordinary Asses”. In this sermon, we learned through the prophetic book of Zechariah the word of the Lord not only to the house of Israel but also to us here at LCM. Our great King is invested in the generations beyond us. He does this by removing the idolatry, worldly tendencies, and empty way of life that was handed down from previous generations that we find ours...
The Vine Revelations
April 01, 2022 02:38 - 46 minutes - 42.2 MB“The Vine Revelations” preached by Pastor Payton reminded us of our great call in the Kingdom of God. Jesus, the true vine, from whom all heavenly authority and nourishment is given, has chosen us to bear fruit. Fruit that will last. This everlasting fruit (from generation to generation) we are called to bear, requires us to face the man in the mirror. Confronting those areas of our lives where we do not yet see fruit and taking hold of his word by walking in obedience to it. Not letting the ...
Snapshots
March 27, 2022 17:29 - 1 hour - 56.2 MBSnapshots preached by Pastors Nik, Wade, and Matt encouraged us to rise up and take hold of the staff that has been divinely appointed us. The staff that symbolizes authority, right standing, and the high calling that is ours in Christ Jesus. We learned through the lives of the men of the biblical world as well as through these pastors lives that we must look to the divine appointment that was originated in us by our good Father. Even with some negative snapshots, we cannot choose to stay dow...
Reason for Hope
March 25, 2022 02:37 - 47 minutes - 43 MBWe know something church! We know that we are growing closer to our father & he is showing us what our honest state has always been. And we know something else, for we can see his character being formed in us. What is more, is that we know the trials that we are enduring now will result in glorious hope. In this way, we can have hope and confidence as we look back at where have come from AND where he is bringing us into. Listen to this inspiring and hope-filled message from Pastors Matt & Judah.
A Tale of Two Houses
March 20, 2022 18:09 - 1 hour - 70.6 MBWhat a glorious time we are living in! “A Tale of Two Houses” delivered by Pastor Nik and Pastor Judah illustrate the biblical truth that both faith and fight must work together to bring about the transformation required in our lives. Underemphasizing either one of these pivotal principles in the life of a believer leads to a compounding error of increasing ramifications. Instead, we must embrace and hold on to both faith and the fight. We must learn to live in the tension to demonstrate fait...
You Are the Man!
March 18, 2022 02:47 - 1 hour - 62.2 MBOur father has favored us! He has blessed us! He has done so in marvelous fashion, by opening our eyes to the realities of our true condition both as Sons of God and Sons of men. Whilst holding on firmly to both of these truths, the distance between who he is and who we are is becoming more and more evident. This honest grappling of our sin brings us to the same place as it did David. An honest recognition that we are the ones that have sinned and done wrong, and we are the ones in need of ou...
Look at it
March 13, 2022 18:13 - 1 hour - 89.1 MBOne of the best things that a believer can experience is coming to grips with just how sinful we are while at the same time growing in our love for the Lord. Too often we smooth over our actual state and walk with the Lord by only embracing the truth that we through Christ have been credited with righteousness. We do this without equally wrestling with the fact that there must be ongoing transformation aimed at righteousness. We are quick to embrace that we are Sons of God, and rightfully so...
The Red Dragon, Tacos and a Snake
March 11, 2022 04:19 - 1 hour - 63.7 MBLCM, we have been engaged in the conflict of all conflicts from the very beginning. We were promised from the very beginning that we would crush the enemy AND that he would strike our heel. Yet it seems that what sometimes starts as a garden snake can grow into an enormous red dragon. The Lord is calling us to develop tachos, quickness to right action. He is simultaneously working out of us the fear of being bitten, in order to win! The agony of being bitten is fueling a cry to the Lord, dee...
True Friend
March 06, 2022 18:24 - 52 minutes - 48.3 MBTrue Friend! Preached by Pastor Payton and Pastor Matt, drives at the center of the relationship our good Father desires to have with us and the desire we must have towards him. We learn through the lives of men like Abraham that one of the driving forces behind a true friendship with the Father was based on partnership with him, not performance. Pursuing a true friendship with the Father requires us to bring to him the darkness areas of our lives and iniquities because true friends do not hi...
Faithful You Are
March 04, 2022 03:26 - 54 minutes - 50.1 MBOur faithful father has been faithful to us in these dark days. Something about meditating on his character changes us as we engage with him in every circumstance. What is more, is that our faithful God shows himself faithful to faithful men. He chose men like Abraham because he "knew" him, and revealed his plan to him. So shall it be for us as we press on to know him better; He will make us what he is. Pastor Nik Arezina and brother Paul Rosales spur us on to live lives worthy of the Lord ...
Face the Fact
February 27, 2022 19:00 - 1 hour - 73.3 MBPastor Judah, Pastor Payton, and Justin Treaster deliver a soul stirring word entitled “Face the Fact”. Where we are learning to grip with one hand the realities of our true state, the fickle faithlessness we often find ourselves in and grasping with the other hand the promises of God and the transformation that he will bring about in our lives. We can see this illustrated through the lives of men like Abraham to the Apostle Paul, who had the prophetic word of the Lord living in them as they ...
Proving Grounds
February 25, 2022 03:27 - 49 minutes - 45.6 MBThe Lord is being good to us in this day and time church. Difficulties and trials have now become our vehicle into transformation. We can now see these situations for what they are. They are the proving grounds by which our faith is found genuine. We are learning to welcome the testing by which suffering produces Christ in us.
The Devastation of a Nation
February 20, 2022 18:43 - 1 hour - 64.2 MBWhat a beautiful thing the Lord is doing in our midst! “The Devastation of a Nation” delivered by Pastor Nik and Pastor Wade, walk us through the biblically mature view of how we are to respond during the devastation. Through the lives of men of God like Moses, Habakkuk, and Jeremiah who chose to be joyful, to rejoice, to praise the name of the Lord while standing inside difficulty, we are called to walk in and imitate this same faith. It is in the midst of the devastation, difficult circumst...
Undone
February 18, 2022 04:05 - 44 minutes - 40.8 MBPowerful. Cutting. Effective. This message shared by Pastor Payton Parsons accomplishes its stated intent. Pastor sheds light on just how much we need the Lord. When we engage with the word, he shows us our great need, but it's not until we focus on his holiness do we see just how desperate we are for him to change us. In this we have confidence because if we allow him to undo us now, we know that we will not be left "Undone". Let this message stir you to invite the Lord to change every area ...
Sign of Circumcision
February 13, 2022 19:14 - 1 hour - 65.6 MBWhen Zacheus heard the Messiah was coming his way, he climbed up into a sycamore-fig tree and immediately came down at the Lord's command. We had no idea before this message preached by Pastors Matthew Perot and Wade Sutherland just how analogous that is to the way the Lord is perfecting us. Jesus's word's cut Zacheus to the heart and produced immediate actions towards righteous living. That is the only way that we will bear fruit. We have to allow the Lord to gash us, to circumcise us in an ...
Is It Not Written
February 06, 2022 18:54 - 1 hour - 69.6 MBWe are being stirred here at LCM! In view of the mercy of God, we ask that you listen to this message as many times as it takes to understand the weighty revelation that has been laid out before us. What we have just experienced and will continue to experience is the gripping reality that nothing we do before or after Christ will go unnoticed before the one to whom we must give an account. All our deeds (whether with action or inaction) will be in light of the judgment seat of Christ. “Is it ...
24/7
February 04, 2022 03:00 - 39 minutes - 36.5 MBWe are grappling, straining with, and wrestling with the truth of God's word. That wrestling is having an impact on our very core, in a way changes how we walk. The same happened to Paul as he had an encounter with the resurrected, living word of God on the road to Damascus. This encounter produced a readiness in him that rendered him always ready for every situation. There is a readiness that is produced from being pierced by the word and that readiness is what is being cultivated in our bo...
Piercing Effect
January 30, 2022 16:58 - 58 minutes - 53.4 MB“Piercing Effect” delivered by Pastors Matt and Wade leads us back to a biblically sound truth that is essential for all believers. To experience ongoing daily transformation in our lives it must come from experiencing ongoing daily piercing of God’s word in our lives. Which then lead us to be well-positioned to be empowered and walk in the purposes of our great King. This is the “Piercing Effect”. When we have wrestled, toiled, and have been pierced in our soul from the word, we are position...
