The Minor Prophets – September 14, 2025

Read the passage: Hosea 1:1-11

(The summary below was generated by AI, and reviewed by a human at LCC)

In this week’s sermon, Pastor David highlights the severity of sin by comparing Israel’s spiritual adultery—idolatry and unfaithfulness to God—to Gomer’s literal infidelity. He stresses that sin is deeper than just overt wrongdoing; it is fundamentally about failing to love God fully and to love others well, which leads to broken relationships and eternal consequences.

The sermon concludes with a call to acknowledge the seriousness of sin without succumbing to self-loathing or despair. Instead, Christians are encouraged to embrace God’s forgiveness, trusting in Jesus’ sacrifice to remove guilt and restore relationship with God.

The Minor Prophets – September 7, 2025

Read the passage: Joel 2:12-14

We are starting a new series on a very interesting and unfamiliar part of the Bible: The Minor Prophets. It’s full of hidden gems highlighting God’s character and promises.

For the next few weeks, every sermon will tackle a different prophet and today’s is JOEL.

Joel is a very unique book in that it doesn’t really specify exactly what time period or event is going on at the time, he just speaks to the general issue of people rebelling against God through a collection of poems inspired by other parts of the bible.

Though it’s only 3 chapters, it really packs a punch! It starts by describing this massive disaster going on where swarms of locust are wiping out all their crops!. Think about the ultimate food shortage + economic crash + exile + broken nation all in one go. And though all seems hopeless, Joel uses this as a wake up call!

What if this thing that was happening was like a huge megaphone that God’s using to invite these rebellious people back to Him? And then he goes onto to talk about what it actually looks like to return to God. To have a restored relationship with God.

The book of Joel takes a real-life disaster and turns it into a story about God’s heart to restore His people.

The Book of Hebrews – August 3, 2025

Read the passage: Hebrews 5:11-6:3

August 3, 2025 – Pastor David Cay

As Christians, there are so many cool theological things to think about and to debate about. It can be exciting. But the problem is many Christians never get the basics right. Some want to skip basic theory and habits like prayer and Bible reading for something trendy. Some Christians are obsessed with the end times but can’t find time to pray.

It is the basics that will determine our success as Christians. It doesn’t mean we can’t move onto more advanced topics like the “end times”, but we should master the basics first.

So, my big question today is: How can we have a good theoretical understanding of the Christian life?

As usual, we’ll find our answer in the Bible.

  1. We should master the gospel message
  2. We should move on to advanced topics, but only after living out the basics

The Book of Hebrews – July 27, 2025

Read the passage: Hebrews 4:14-16; 5:7-9

I think all of us have been disappointed before when we pray. Sometimes we have a very worthy thing to pray for. We have a real need, and we’re not being selfish about it. Or we’re praying for someone else who’s hurting and they need help. And we pray with all our heart and nothing happens. And we can’t understand why God doesn’t just help us. And it’s natural to wonder, does God even care? Is God even real? Or did we do something wrong? Because it doesn’t make sense that God COULD help us and he just doesn’t. So prayer can be really frustrating and confusing.

But we’re not meant to live in frustration and confusion towards God. Because the Bible actually tells us what’s happening behind the scenes. It doesn’t tell us everything, but it tells us enough so that we don’t have to be frustrated and confused when we pray. But instead we can be confident even in the most difficult times.

So my big question today is: why should we be confident when we pray?

My answer is:

● 1. Because God’s HEART deserves our confidence, and

● 2. Because God’s MIND deserves our confidence.

The Book of Hebrews – July 20, 2025

Read the passage: Hebrews 4:1-11

As St. Augustine once said “You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you”.

So, my big question today is what can we do about the restlessness in our heart? We’ll see our answers in the Bible.

  1. God offers rest
  2. Only those who trust God in a practical way can receive his gift of rest

We learn that only Jesus can cure the restlessness that we feel. Only God can give us rest that we are looking for. It’s a rest that flows out of God’s finished work. Our future is secure!

But many Christians know this intellectually, but they don’t live this way. They don’t live it out by their actions. And that’s the problem! It’s only those who trust God by acting on his promises that they are the ones that will get to enjoy the rest that God gives.

The Book of Hebrews – July 13, 2025

Read the passage: Hebrews 3:7-15

This week’s passage zones in and repeats, over and over again, this idea about a hardened heart. A broken sensor for our spiritual lives.
Now, because this is our key idea today, let’s try to be clear about it. What is a hardened heart?

In this passage, we see the Israelites being used as an example where they saw the power and presence and words of God for 40 years, and they still rejected him. They rebelled against him. That is a hardened heart. To be face to face with the obvious existence, power, goodness and instructions of God, and to be unreasonably stubborn against it. To reject. To not follow it. You are unaffected and unmoved by God.

But there’s something deeper going on with a hardened heart than just being stubborn.

We see it in the parallelism in our passage.

  • That none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.
  • None of you has a sinful (evil), unbelieve heart that turns away from the living God.

See, a hardened heart is a whole being posture that is turned away from God because it is turned towards something else; and is therefore unaffected by what he has to say or offer. That is rejection. That is rebellion. That is a broken spiritual sensor.

I believe that for Christians in our day and time, the hardening of the heart is one of the most common and dangerous pitfalls for us. Because we’re not so much angrily maliciously warring against God, we just start looking at other shiny things, and slowly de-prioritize God and forget about him.

But in our passage; a hardened rebellious heart is the very thing that keeps the Israelites from God’s promises of rest. Hardened hearts have the ability to keep us from the promises that God has in store for us.

That is terrifying. Because that’s where life is. That’s where joy is. That’s where purpose and meaning and satisfaction awaits us.

This is why our passage pleads with us, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”

But how?

That’s our focus today. What keeps our hearts from hardening?

Our answer we find in our passage is a focus on:

  1. Truth, not deceit.
  2. We; not just me.
  3. Now; not later.
