Lessons from a Cottonwood Grove

Rooted in Christ, flourishing in faith – drawing life from God, not the world.

This sermon was Larry Coulter’s farewell message as he retires after 45 years in ministry, with 10 years at Lakeway Church. Using Jeremiah 17:5-8, he contrasts two types of people – those who trust in themselves versus those who trust in the Lord. Through personal stories and the metaphor of cottonwood trees in the Grand Canyon, he illustrates how spiritual growth progresses from seed to sapling to mature trees, emphasizing the importance of developing deep roots in faith.

Where is your trust planted? If you’ve been feeling dry, anxious, or distant from God, it may be time to shift your trust from human strength to divine provision. This week, choose to be like a tree planted by the water—deeply rooted in Christ, drawing from His never-ending source of life and strength.

Four Accounts: One Savior – Advent Week 3

As we prepare our hearts for Christmas, we turn to the four Gospel writers—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—each offering a unique perspective on the birth of Christ.  In this sermon, Pastor Larry shares how Luke invites us to worship as we witness the humility of the Savior born in a manger.

Thank you for joining us as we reflect on the richness of the Christmas story through these four distinct lenses, celebrating the one Savior who came to redeem us all.

Intro to God’s Promises

Pastor Larry Coulter talks about the changes happening in The Lakeway church, including his upcoming departure. He highlights the church’s history, emphasizing its diverse denominational roots and shared theological beliefs. Pastor Larry encourages the congregation to embrace change and look forward to new opportunities, addressing mindsets of comfort, fear, and sentimentality that hinder transitions. He concludes by asking for prayers for the church staff, congregation, and search committee during this transition and emphasizes the significance of expressing Christ’s teachings by loving one another and having faith in God’s promises. Pastor Larry shares his optimism for the future of our church and rallies the congregation to courageously embrace their faith amid the cultural shifts.

Pastor Larry Coulter drew parallels from the scripture to the story of David, emphasizing God’s focus on the heart over outward appearances. Concluding the sermon, he called on the congregation to self-reflect and allow God to transform their hearts and character. The sermon served as a reminder of the need to celebrate joys together as a community, take time for renewal, address challenges head-on, and aim for inner growth and transformation under God’s guidance.

David: A Man of Faith & Flaws

Week 1: Samuel is Called

• 1 Samuel 3 

• Discussion Guide

• 1 & 2 Samuel Reading Plan

• Prayer in the Night by Tish Harrison Warren

In this captivating sermon “David: Week 1”, part of the series “David: A Man of Faith & Flaws”, Pastor Larry Coulter aimed to emphasize the importance of the Old Testament and the life of David. The sermon commenced with a call to love our neighbors, following which Pastor Coulter unpacked the story of Samuel to set the stage for understanding David’s context. He urges the congregation to complement the sermon series by personally studying a prescribed reading list and exploring the present-day situation in Israel. The central message of “David: Week 1” was derived from 1 Samuel Chapter 3, which narrates Samuel’s initial encounters with God.

Through this, Pastor Coulter highlighted the importance of being receptive to God’s messages and the power of praying, “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening,” during moments of divine communication. Utilizing Samuel’s story, Pastor Coulter derived three key lessons —

1)the danger of mindless religious rituals 2) The problem of recognizing God’s voice without prior spiritual attentiveness 3) the value of a mentor in spiritual growth.

Moreover, Pastor Coulter underscored the key role night awakenings could potentially play in forging a deeper connection with God. Referencing the personal insights of Tish Warren, an Anglican pastor, he suggested replicating Samuel’s prayer during those quiet moments. Transitioning to the repercussions faced by the high priest Eli and his family due to his sons’ actions, Pastor Coulter emphasized accepting God’s judgment and authority. As he concluded the sermon, the pastor reiterated the importance of attentiveness to God’s voice and urged believers to seek divine guidance, especially during night wake-ups. He eventually spurred his congregation to embrace more open communication with God in their everyday lives.
