“Life don't care. What's our saying? Life be life and you got a strong support staff here. There's several of them that have emailed us, called us, text us. Hey, this is getting sideways. What do we need to do? Hey, how do we get out of this? What adviser do I need to call? Just because we're sitting in Lumber, we got stretch in all places. We know people everywhere. You're never alone because you got god first. The lighthouse has always got you back.”

“Don't know which way is up or down. Sometimes, it's hard to just get centered and say, hey, let's put god first before we do anything and then watch it explode that way. So, next week, I was going to talk about spiritual gifts this week but I can I can run it in the next week's Pentecost Sunday because that's really when it showed up and showed out? Amen?”
22s
“And it's crazy that that was written all those years ago. And if people would apply it today just getting in one mind and one accord what you could actually do in a community. What can happen in your life if you just get your house in one mind and one accord and that's hard enough sometimes. Amen? Amen. The lives we live constantly in and out. Amen.”
71s
“Because he understands once you activate that, nothing's impossible. Nothing's that's your tactical gear to take territory some of the disciples tried to cast out a demon he said Paul I know and Jesus I know but who are you they were saved they knew Jesus they knew what Jesus done for them they didn't have the authority to operate on his behalf because they didn't even know about the Holy Spirit they were just trying to emulate acts stuff they had seen Jesus do so if we're real disciples and we follow Jesus we ought to be able to do what Jesus done but they didn't understand Jesus said I go to prepare a place in who I'm sending but if you don't receive what I'm sending that's a major key to open a major door.”
41s
“Their lack of information has put them in a place of spiritual stagnation. and they didn't even know. Remember when we started today I said we feel like we're just spinning our wheels sometimes. We're going to church camp. We're doing the right thing. Praying, reading the word, tithing, show up at the hot dog setting, show up at the ministry meeting. It just feels like we just keep...They didn't even know there was more. And it's hard to activate something you're not aware of.”
36s
“Everybody in this room has been hurt. Everybody in this room has been let down. Everybody in this room has been broken. Everybody in here has had their trust violated at one time or another. So when it says, I trust in God, it's kind of hard when you still have some unfilled places or some broken places or some empty places.”
38s
“Most people Becky cannot inherit the kingdom because they've never heard of it they cannot operate in the kingdom because they've never heard of it it's cool in prayers and it's cool vernacular in Christian circles but all Jesus he talked about salvation once the rest of his ministry throughout the four gospels was the kingdom is like the kingdom is like the kingdom is like and if it wasn't important LB I don't think you would have kept talking about that's all he talked about.”
29s
“If you are going to it says the kingdom suffereth violence right so when you push for territory expect some fights expect some pushback if you want to be the cute Christian this probably ain't the place for you we still love you I'll still preach as hard as I can but you're going to be looking around folks going to be gone they're going to be up to rush say wait a minute I want it to go well come on nothing holds you back but you”
26s
“You can't walk into something new if you're unwilling to walk out of something old. Dr. Henry Cloud wrote that. And so for a period of time, Paul was on his third missionary journey. It was his third stop. He had a few stops on the journey. What does that mean? He would go to a specific place. For a period of time, he would make a ministry contribution. He would teach, train, disciple, and then he'd leave.”
38s
“This principle simply suggests that God will use exposure to awaken in us an appetite for something that we did not know we needed because we didn't know it existed there's things on the inside of you that you don't know you need because you don't even know they're there so God arranges these exposures to orchestrate what I like to call a holy awakening where he awakens your appetite for more of him not just simply settling for church as usual or chasing after the things of the world but chasing after the best for your life.”

With St. Andrews University nearby, many congregations emphasize mentoring, service-learning, and intentional discipleship alongside a welcoming feel for newcomers. You’ll find college student ministries, small group culture, and spaces that engage young adults and professionals.
Laurinburg churches also reflect the area’s layered heritage—Scottish roots, Lumbee community ties, and a strong African American gospel tradition—shaping worship styles and community life.
