Greater Lansing First | Weekly Messages

What do you do when the need in front of you is greater than what you have in your hands?In this message from our IMPOSSIBLE series, we look at the feeding of the 5,000 and discover that Jesus sees the need before we see the way. When we surrender what we have to Him, we can trust the Provider—even when it doesn’t feel like enough.If you’re facing an impossible need, this message is for you. Watch the replay: “When What You Have Isn’t Enough.”

What happens when your impossible has a diagnosis—and human help reaches its limits? Through two powerful miracles in Mark 5, discover how to bring your desperation to Jesus, trust His victory, and keep believing when the answer seems delayed. Impossible may have a name, but Jesus has the final word.

What if mercy is more than something God asks us to show… what if it’s something He wants us to love? In a world that celebrates getting even, keeping score, and demanding what we deserve, God’s call is radically different. Discover how experiencing God’s incredible mercy changes not only how we treat others, but what our hearts begin to value. This message from Micah 6:8 will challenge you to move beyond simply showing mercy—to loving it.

Is being a “good person” enough? In this powerful message from Micah 6:8, discover why God defines what is right, why behavior alone can never make us acceptable to Him, and how Jesus alone transforms hearts and empowers us to truly live right.

What does it really mean to “do good”? In Week 1 of our GOOD series, we discover that good works don’t make us right with God—they flow from a life that has already been transformed by Him. When we understand God’s goodness toward us, doing good becomes more than an obligation… it becomes our response.

What if the biggest reason we’re not seeing boldness isn’t a lack of faith… but the prayers we’re praying?When Peter and John were threatened, arrested, and ordered to stop talking about Jesus, the early church didn’t pray for safety. They didn’t pray for comfort. They prayed for more boldness.In this final message of the BOLD series, discover why Acts 4 may contain one of the most dangerous—and life-changing—prayers in the Bible.Don’t Pray It Safe.

If Jesus actually sent us, why are we so quiet?This week in our BOLD series, we’ll discover that the Gospel was never meant to be kept to ourselves. Sent people MUST be bold.“The righteous are as bold as a lion.” — Proverbs 28:1#BOLD #LionsDontWhisper #Acts4 #JustOneMore

What does REAL biblical boldness actually look like?In Week 1 of our new BOLD series, Pastor Kamron challenges the difference between being loud… and being truly bold in Christ. Walking through Proverbs 28:1 and the transformation of Peter in Acts 3–4, this message explores how righteousness, forgiveness, and relationship with Jesus produce a boldness the world cannot imitate.If you’ve ever struggled with fear, insecurity, silence, or feeling unqualified to share your faith… this message is for you.“The world doesn’t need louder Christians. It needs believers bold enough to make Jesus known.”

There are moments in life when we feel broken, forgotten, abandoned, or unsure if God still sees our needs. In this powerful Mother’s Day message, “Jehovah Jireh: From Broken to Redeemed,” Pastor Shanon and Courtney share honest testimony and biblical truth about a God who still provides.Through Scripture and personal stories of pain, comfort, healing, and restoration, this message reminds us that God provides the way, the comfort, and the restoration we need — often in ways we never expected.No matter what has been lost, wounded, or missing in your life, Jehovah Jireh is still faithful.

Most of us don’t struggle with knowing what to do—we struggle with actually doing it.In Faith That Moves, we look at what real faith looks like in everyday life. Not just faith you believe, but faith that shows up in how you live and how you love.If you’ve been putting off a step you know God is asking you to take, this message will help you move forward.

When you know what God wants—but your heart pushes back—what do you do? This message tackles the real tension of faith: trusting God when it doesn’t feel right. Discover how God isn’t just after your actions, but your heart—and how real faith is formed when you choose to trust Him anyway.

God’s direction won’t always make sense—but it will always require trust.In Week 1 of FAITH: Trust the Who, we explore why we naturally lean on our own understanding and how that keeps us from fully trusting God.This message will challenge you to stop waiting for clarity—and start walking in faith.

Some trades seem small… until you realize what they’ve cost you.This Easter, The Great Exchange uncovers the truth about sin, surrender, and the life-changing decision to stop trading Jesus for less—and trust the One who gave everything for you.

Most of us think sin starts with what we do—but Scripture reveals it starts much deeper. In this message, we uncover “The Invisible Sin” that quietly shapes our lives: desire. Discover how misdirected desires can lead us away from God—and how Jesus came not just to forgive our actions, but to transform our hearts.

It only takes one small chip in a windshield to change everything. At first, it seems harmless—but over time, it spreads, distorts, and becomes dangerous. That’s how sin works. In Fractured, we look at how subtle compromises affect our relationships and why God’s commands are designed to protect us, not restrict us—and how Jesus brings healing where things have been broken.

What if the command “You must not murder” is about far more than we realize? In this message, we follow the path Jesus reveals—from anger and contempt in the heart to the value of every life created in God’s image. Discover how followers of Jesus are called not just to avoid harm, but to embrace life and pursue peace in a world that often forgets the sacred value of people.

Why are we so exhausted… and why is respect for authority disappearing everywhere?In this message from the Stone to Heart series, we look at two powerful commandments that confront both problems: Sabbath rest and honoring authority. These ancient instructions reveal a deeper question every heart must answer—do we trust God’s design for life? When the right King sits on the throne of our hearts, our rhythm and our relationships begin to fall back into order.

There is only ONE throne in your heart — and something is sitting on it.Before God addressed murder or stealing, He addressed worship. Why? Because what rules your heart eventually rules your life.This message will challenge you to confront hidden rivals, subtle replacements, and the dangerous ways we misuse God’s name.If the foundation is compromised, everything built on top will eventually collapse.

This week we kick off From Stone to Heart by asking a bold question: Are the Ten Commandments outdated—or more relevant than ever? Before we unpack each command, we’ll discover why God gave them in the first place. These aren’t cold rules carved in stone; they reveal God’s character, protect what He loves, and ultimately point us to our need for a new heart in Christ. Culture’s top ten keeps changing—but God’s Words still stand.

In Week 6 of our Wisdom Walking series, “The Marks of a Wise Walk,” we explore what real, biblical wisdom actually looks like in everyday life. James challenges us not just to claim wisdom—but to prove it. This message focuses on three clear markers of wisdom from above: generosity, mercy, and unity. In a culture driven by self-interest and division, God’s wisdom stands out through surrendered finances, restored relationships, and protected unity within the church. If wisdom truly comes from above, it should be visible below—in how we give, how we forgive, and how we guard what matters most.

Salvation is more than forgiveness—it’s transformation with purpose. In Ephesians 2:1–10, we’re reminded that we were once dead in sin, but by God’s grace we’ve been made alive in Christ. We are not saved by good works—but we are saved for good works.This message explores what it truly means to be saved, what God has rescued us from, and—just as importantly—what He has rescued us for. As God’s workmanship, His masterpiece, we are invited to walk in the purpose He prepared for us long before we knew Him. Through Scripture, prayer, and honest reflection, this sermon challenges us to move beyond excuses, listen for God’s direction, and allow salvation to produce visible fruit in our lives.If you’ve ever wondered how your faith connects to daily life, calling, and obedience—this message brings clarity and direction.

Not all freedoms are created equal—and not all of them last. In this message, Jesus confronts a dangerous assumption: believing we’re free when we’re actually bound. Freedoms That Expire exposes the difference between confidence and wisdom and points us to the only freedom that never runs out—the freedom found in Christ.

We love the mountaintop moments—but are we prepared for what comes after? The week, in Walking After the Mountain, Pastor Kamron challenges us to trade spiritual momentum for lasting wisdom by learning how to walk in step with the Holy Spirit when life returns to normal.

In a world where every opinion feels like a battle, how do you know which fights are actually worth it?In “Is This Worth Fighting For?”, we explore how Scripture calls us to respond with wisdom, not just passion—and how choosing the right battles can protect our relationships, our witness, and our walk with Jesus.

In a season full of noise, pressure, and unmet expectations, we’re reminded that peace isn’t found in perfect circumstances—it’s found in a closer Savior. From the manger to our hearts, this message explores where true peace comes from, why it often feels distant, and how Jesus offers peace that the world can’t give.

“Ever feel like no matter how much you have, it’s never quite enough?This Christmas, discover the gift you didn’t know you were missing.In this powerful message, Pastor Kamron shows how the manger disrupts our desire for more and invites us into a deeper, stronger contentment in Christ.Listen in — your heart will thank you.”

What if the thing you’re afraid to surrender is the very thing holding you back?In this message, Pastor Kamron unpacks Jesus’ call to let go, trust God fully, and discover that following Him isn’t losing—it’s trading up. This is a powerful invitation to freedom, clarity, and deeper surrender.

We all carry hurts—and we all walk past people who do. But Jesus stopped for the broken, the grieving, and the ashamed. Discover how His compassion can not only heal your heart, but also flow through you to restore others.

Miracles rarely start on a mountaintop — they start when someone notices a need.In this first message of The Jesus Filter series, Pastor Kamron unpacks how Jesus’ compassion in Mark 6:30–44 began with a simple act of seeing. Using the science of how your brain filters what you notice, you’ll learn how to retrain your focus from frustration to faith — from what drains you to what God can use through you.When you start to see needs the way Jesus does, you don’t just witness miracles — you become part of them.

In this heartfelt message, Pastor AJ shares his passion for youth ministry and challenges believers to pray for our schools, students, teachers, and families. Drawing from Scripture, real statistics, and personal stories, he reminds us how removing God from our classrooms has led to moral and spiritual decline—and why prayer is the key to restoring hope. This is a call to stand in faith for the next generation.

Step beyond the velvet ropes of religion and into the all-access freedom Jesus secured for you. In this message, Pastor Kamron unpacks how the torn curtain at the cross removed every barrier between us and God, opening the way for intimacy with His presence. Discover how freedom isn’t just about what you’ve been saved from — it’s about what you’ve been saved for: to see Him and reflect His glory. Don’t settle for peeking from the outside when the door is wide open.
