LRPC Sermon Archives

If our recent series on Habits was the classroom, Lent is the field test.
Yesterday was Valentine’s Day, but today is the reality check. Join us as we explore how our spiritual disciplines move from "checklists" to "lifelines" in the deep waters of life.

Welcome to church! Today we are wrapping up our "HABITS: Running the Race" series on this Super Sunday.
While the rest of the world is focused on the "Big Game," we are focusing on the "Big Victory" already won for us by Jesus.
Pastor Tom explores the final habit: Sacraments. We’ll look at the beautiful meaning behind Baptism and Communion—what the Presbyterian tradition calls the "outward sign of an inward work"—and how these practices keep us connected to Christ and each other.
🍞 COMMUNION NOTICE: We will be sharing in a "Victory Meal" together later in the service. Please take a moment now to prepare a piece of bread (or a cracker) and some juice (or water) so you can join us from your home! Family-Friendly Communion: A special time to remember our baptism and honor Jesus’ sacrifice.

What does it take to run the spiritual race well?
In Week 4 of our HABITS series, we're looking at the discipline of an athlete versus the discipline of a disciple.
Big Idea: Church involvement means working together to put others first.
Using the testimony of former Dallas Cowboys linebacker Bradie James and the blueprint of the early church in Acts 2, we explore why "hanging out" as a church is about much more than just a weekly meeting—it’s about a world-changing lifestyle of generosity and fellowship.

How many miles does your thumb travel every day? 📱
We spend hours scrolling through feeds that leave us feeling empty, yet we struggle to find five minutes for the Book that offers life.

Lean On Me: Why Even the Pros Need Accountability | H.A.B.I.T.S. (Week 2)
Description: "I run with purpose in every step." — 1 Corinthians 9:26
Welcome to Week 2 of our series, H.A.B.I.T.S.
This week we dive into the power of Accountability. We often think of accountability as a "policing" tool, but the Bible shows us it's actually a "healing" tool. In this message, we explore: How NFL stars use the YouVersion Bible App (along with its 1 billion+ global users) to stay disciplined.
Why "sharing our burdens" is the only way to build a foundation that lasts (1 Corinthians 3:11-15).
Practical ways to start a "Plan with Friends" and use the "Talk It Over" feature to grow together.
