Discover how God’s love leads to joyful obedience, sacrificial love for others, and the confidence of being chosen and called a friend. This is a powerful reminder that abiding in Christ means living deeply rooted in His love every day. 2025-06-0147 minGreater Lansing First | Weekly MessagesGreater Lansing First | Weekly Messages"ABIDE: Living Rooted in Christ" Rooted SERIES Wk. 1 What does it really mean to abide in Christ? In this message, Pastor Kamron kicks off the Rooted series by breaking down the biblical meaning of “abide”—not as passive waiting, but as actively living connected to Jesus in every part of life. Discover how abiding reshapes your priorities, your rhythms, and your spiritual growth. 2025-05-1841 minGreater Lansing First | Weekly MessagesGreater Lansing First | Weekly Messages"Turning Point" Come Home SERIES Wk.2 In this message, Pastor Kamron Oberlin shares how every journey back to God begins with a turning point — a moment of realization, decision, repentance, and one brave step toward home. No matter how far you’ve wandered, God’s grace is greater, and the door is still open. You can always come home. 2025-04-2742 minGreater Lansing First | Weekly MessagesGreater Lansing First | Weekly Messages"Runaway" Come Home SERIES Wk.1 When life gets hard, we often look for a way out—and many of us run from the very God who loves us most. In this Easter message, Pastor Kamron shares the story of the Prodigal Son and his own testimony to show that no matter how far you’ve gone, it’s never too late to come home. Freedom apart from God may feel good at first—but it always leads to emptiness. 2025-04-2041 minGreater Lansing First | Weekly MessagesGreater Lansing First | Weekly Messages"Sticks and Stones" James Series Wk. 5 In this powerful message, “Sticks & Stones – The Power of Words,” Pastor Kamron unpacks James 3:1–12 to reveal how our tongues, though small, carry enormous influence to bless or destroy.

In this week's message, Pastor Kamron challenges us with what might be the clearest evidence of authentic faith: how we treat others, especially those who have nothing to offer us. Favoritism may be more dangerous than we think… and mercy might be the test we didn’t know we were taking. Watch and discover why faith without mercy is just judgment in disguise. 2025-03-2340 minGreater Lansing First | Weekly MessagesGreater Lansing First | Weekly Messages"Fools Only Listen" James Series Wk. 2 True faith is more than just hearing God’s Word—it requires action. In this message from James 1, Pastor Kamron challenges us to examine whether we are merely listeners or true doers of the Word. Are we blaming God for our struggles? Are we waiting for someone else to fix what’s broken in our lives? James calls us to step beyond passive faith and live in obedience. Don’t just listen—act, and experience the freedom found in following Christ. 2025-03-1649 minGreater Lansing First | Weekly MessagesGreater Lansing First | Weekly Messages"Leap of Risk" James Series Wk. 1 Faith always involves risk.
