The King’s Service :: January 19, 2025
Daniel is a daunting book to preach. It’s a unique book. There’s nothing quite like it. It’s classified among the Prophets in our English Bibles, but it’s in the “Writings” like the Wisdom literature in Hebrew Bibles. It’s got history…
To My Dear Friend Gaius :: January 12, 2025
The “Old Man” wrote another letter. Last week, we said that the author of 2 John and 3 John–who I believe is also the author of 1 John and the Gospel of John and the Book of Revelation– refers himself as “The Elder.” Pastor…
To the Chosen Lady and Her Children :: January 5, 2025
A few years ago, we studied 1 John together, but we have never studied 2 and or 3 John during my time as your pastor. So I thought it was high time we did that at the beginning of this year. This…
The Bright Morning Star – December 29, 2024
Our first message in this series went almost back to the very beginning of the Bible, the Law of Moses, Numbers chapter 24. Our second message was drawn from the highpoint middle of the Bible, the Gospel accounts. Matthew chapter 2. This…
We Saw His Star – December 22, 2024
Last Sunday, we started a very short sermon series called “The Bright Star of Bethlehem.” We turned way back to the Book of Numbers and studied that enigmatic prophecy, where under the influence of the Holy Spirit, the pagan prophet Balaam…

Do not fix your eyes on angels. Last time we were together, we opened our new series on the sermonic Letter to the Hebrews with the overarching theme, “Fixing Our Eyes on Jesus.” And that’s also our theme as a church for this…
Dear Church Family, Here is a simple 10-step guide to worship that your family could use to glorify the Lord together at home during the snowstorm this weekend. See you next Sunday! – Pastor Matt *** LEFC Home Worship Guide…
Dear LEFC Family, Due to the winter storm warning for our region this weekend, we are canceling this Sunday’s gathering for worship. The National Weather Service predicts heavy snow, frigid temperatures, and dangerous travel conditions. The governor has declared an emergency. We…
“Fixing Our Eyes on Jesus” That’s the name of this new sermon series that we’re starting today on The Letter to the Hebrews, and it’s also the theme of my pastoral vision for Lanse Free Church in 2026. Pastor…
I picked Psalm 87 for this morning because it’s so glorious and so…weird. I picked it because I really have never understood it. No matter how many times I’ve read it. What is this psalm, this song, all about? So,…
What are you asking the Lord for in 2026? What are you praying for as we set out into a new year? What do you want? Many of us start the year by making some goals. We’re going to lose…
