2026 LCM English Theme Message 1: The God Who Speaks And Confronts
God reveals Himself not through human opinion, but through His Word.
To hear Him speak is to be confronted and called to life in Christ.
Year Of The Lord’s Favour
When Jesus announced “the year of the Lord’s favour,” he wasn’t promising a lucky year or offering optimism or religious comfort. He was claiming that God’s long-awaited rescue had arrived.
However, Jesus’ revelation heralded the unfolding of God’s salvation plan which subverts all human expectations.
Jesus’ coming ushered in a greater Jubilee that cancel the hidden spiritual debt through his ultimate sacrifice. The Kingdom of God that radically includes all people is already here.
Find out how Jesus redefines power, justice, and love—and why the kind of salvation He offers is not the one we expect, but the one we need.
The Good News of “God With Us”
Christmas is about “Immanuel – God with us”. But is “God with us” good or bad news for you? Jesus had come to seek and save sinners not because we are good, but He is good. What is so good about Jesus and why does every person need Him?
Longing and Preparing to be Home with the Lord
Have we grown so comfortable in our earthly bodies that we no longer wish to leave them, desiring only to enjoy what this world offers? Or do we groan and feel the burdens of life in this fragile “earthly tent”? While Christians should treasure the life and time God has given us on earth, we also need not fear death. The question is: How then should we live now, while we are not yet home with the Lord?
We Do Not Lose Heart
In 2 Corinthians 4, Paul recognises why Christians often lose heart— but reminds us why we don’t have to.
Though the gospel is veiled to some and we face real suffering, we resist the temptations to distort God’s Word or rely on ourselves. We are jars of clay carrying God’s treasure, sustained by His power, renewed daily by His Spirit, and anchored in an eternal glory that far outweighs our present troubles. In our weakness, the life of Jesus is revealed.
The Christian Sanctification
Holiness is not an optional pursuit but the ordained end of salvation.
The Spirit who regenerates also sanctifies, producing real change and a growing desire to please God. Where God grants new life, He also brings forth new obedience.
Unveiled: Boldness and Freedom in Christ
2 Corinthians 3 shows us a stunning truth: what was once glorious has been surpassed by an even greater glory in Christ. The old covenant revealed sin and brought death, but the new covenant brings righteousness, life, and bold confidence. Only in Christ is the veil lifted so we can see His beauty and be transformed.
Confidence From God, Not Men
Are you tired of chasing human approval or are you often discouraged because you feel inadequate? In this message, discover how God makes the incompetent competent and how our lives can become letters from Christ, where our transformation is evident to everyone.
Acts 3: The Historical Healing and the Cross of Jesus
The gospel is not merely a story to admire but a reality to respond to. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ stand at the center of our faith, calling us to trust in His finished work, to repent daily, and to walk in the new life He gives. As we reflect on how God continues to work in the world, through His Spirit, His Word, and His people, may we seek true repentance, deepen our longing for His renewing grace, and testify to the restoration and refreshment He has brought into our lives. May our hearts be stirred to encounter Christ afresh and live in the power of His resurrection.
Sharing in Christ’s Sufferings and Glory
We tend to think of suffering with Christ in this world, yet we did not think about sharing in His glory. Our union with Christ is such a powerful truth that it tells us that as Christians living in this fallen world, our suffering and glory are not separated from Christ. Knowing this truth deeply helps gives us both comfort in weakness and also strength in battling sin.
