About Us Us
Our History
Lovekingdom has been serving the Florida community and people worldwide since 2001. Pastor Lamour had a dream. In the dream, he saw someone who told him: “I have been telling you to open a church, but you refuse to obey me. He continued by saying, I will seek after my people to open the Church.” Then, Pastor Lamour asked the person, “what do you want me to do now?” He replied, “get up and start the Church at your house. Pastor Lamour got up, dressed in a nice suit, and arranged his living room as a church setting with a podium and chairs.
Pastor Frantz Lamour was guided by the Holy Spirit while fasting for a day on November 17, 2001. The first service occurred on November 18, 2001, at 9: 30 AM at his residence in Royal Palm Beach with four people: God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and himself. For people without God, Pastor Lamour acted like a man in a state of craziness, although he acted by faith. He preached before the empty chairs for thirty-five minutes and gave his offering. His message was how to restore a fallen citizen of God’s Kingdom according to Galatians 6:1-5. God reminded pastor Lamour of Ezekiel 37:1-10 where he asked the prophet to prophesize over the bones. He said to himself, “God, I have no bones before me but empty chairs.” Then, he felt the spiritual urge to pray over the chairs, asking God to fill them with people he wants to know, understand and live the truth. God did, and he continues doing so. God heard his prayer and answered him gloriously and marvelously. Hallelujah!
Pastor Lamour’s wife was out of the country to support her aunt, who was getting married. When his wife, Djenny Lamour, returned home, he told her that the Church had started. She said, “where did the church start?” He said, “God started the church at our home on November 18, 2001.” She replied, “I am on board and will support you to do the will of God.” Since then, God has been adding people to the Church he wants to bring into his Kingdom, using our lives as the ambassadors of his Kingdom on earth. We are grateful to God for saving and using us to love him and love people just as they are.
Pastor Frantz Lamour was passionate about the lost souls and the believer’s spiritual growth in the grace and the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. His life has been in God’s holy hands to use for His glory. To God, by our Lord Jesus Christ, are the glory and magnificence forever and ever. Amen!
Our Plan
Lovekingdom has a four-step plan to help us live and share the kingdom lifestyle as citizens of God’s Kingdom
- Our vision: where are we going Our vision is to be like Jesus and to lead others to Jesus. Our Vision is Jesus because God wants to transform his children into the image of His Son, Romans 8:28-29.
- Our method: how to get there Our methods are Jesus, his teachings, and the Holy Spirit. The Bible answers all the questions that may arise in this life and life after death. God reveals himself in Jesus. He speaks to us through Jesus Christ in the Bible, Hebrews 1:1-4. Therefore, we must make decisions based on the teachings of Jesus, Matthew 28:18-20, Ephesians 2:20, and 2 Timothy 3:16. We do not trust human efforts but depend on the abilities and guidance of the Holy Spirit to lead. The Holy Spirit enables us to do God's work, John 14:26, Luke 4:14, Luke 4:18, Acts 1:8.
- Our purpose: why do we go there
- We glorify God. The purpose of life is to live for the glory of God, Matthew 5:16, John 15:8, Romans 15:6, 1 Corinthians 10:31, 2 Thessalonians 1:12, 1 Peter 4:10-11.
- We proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world to find the lost citizens of God’s Kingdom and promote the cause of world evangelism.
- We make responsible, reproducing Christians to preach the Word of God for the improvement, instruction, and discipline of believers and to maintain a careful balance between spiritual and social growth.
- We maintain regular devotional and public worship services and good interpersonal relationships through verbal, written, and non-verbal communication
We emphasize the biblical Christian experiences of the new birth, the building of solid Christian character, clear-cut separation from the principles of the world, a disciplined life, sacrificial service, and a life of faith.
We do not seek to please men. We work with people, but not for them: We work for God and live to please God, 1 Corinthians 4:1-2; Galatians 1:10. If a leader loves God, he will live to please Him.
- Our motive: what motivates us to act Our motivation is to love. According to Jesus' teachings, we are on earth for two reasons: to love God and others. These are our two most significant mandates in life. Therefore, our motivation is love for God and others. These are our two most essential mandates in life. Consequently, we will be disqualified as biblical leaders if love is not our first focus. Love for God and others is the essence of life. Leadership without love is selfish, aiming to enrich leaders at the expense of others We commit ourselves with the help of the Holy Spirit to implement our pastor's vision, methods, purpose, and motive for the Church. In doing so, we will make disciples of Jesus and thus glorify God the Father.
Thank you very much for your understanding and loyal collaboration! We love you.
Our Commitments to Family
God is the architect
of Marriage
God is the architect of Marriage and must be the foundation of successful marriages. “Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. It is in vain that you rise early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil, for he gives to his beloved sleep (Psalm 127:1-2 ESV). Jesus underlines two foundations you can build: “”Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it” (Matthew 7:24-27 ESV).
God created Marriage, empowered couples, and made provisions in Christ Jesus to achieve his plan. Couples’ views of Marriage determine the quality of their interactions, how and why they make decisions, and what they do together as ministries.
Pre-marriage counseling
- We encourage our members who intend to get married to participate in pre-marriage counseling and learn how to become loving husbands and respectful wives. Premarital counseling is an educational and supportive guidance to individuals planning Marriage
- We encourage our members or others to consider qualified individuals for pre-marriage counseling, including a member of the clergy trained in counseling, a therapist, or some other appropriately qualified person. Premarital counseling may address the timing of Marriage, communication, problem-solving, decision-making, intimacy, household responsibilities, etc.
- We believe in the effectiveness of pre-marriage counseling. Knowledge and understanding are vital in making informed decisions about important issues such as getting married and strengthening marriages. Biblical principles emphasize the importance of knowledge and understanding to make a wise decision. For example, we learn from Proverbs 24:3-4 these invaluable truths concerning healthy relationships, "By wisdom a house is built; by understanding it is established. By knowledge rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant wealth" (CEB). Premarital/counseling is essential for couples to know and understand each other and learn and practice personal and interpersonal skills and spiritual principles to build and maintain loving and resilient relationships. The premarital counseling based on the relationship education program could reduce the idealistic marital expectation in the intervention group from the pretest to the follow-up stage
Marriage
We believe Marriage is a spiritual triangle covenant between God, a man, and a woman. The husband and wife unite in the sacred bonds of Marriage to live according to God’s Word with the help of his Spirit. They must remain attached to one another with the help of the Holy Spirit for life. They vow to God, the witnesses, and themselves to be faithful.
Divorce
We believe that God allows divorce. God’s original plan for Marriage is not divorce, Genesis 2: 24; Luke 16:18; 1 Corinthians 7:39. However, we can fall into sin or make mistakes, and God can restore us. God is a God of many chances, Proverbs 24:16; Psalm 34:19; 1 John 1:9; Philippians 1:6.
People with a biblical divorce are eligible to marry if they choose to, but we encourage them to select marriage partners who believe in Jesus, belong to Jesus, and follow Jesus, 2 Corinthians 6:14-16; Matthew 19: 9; 1 Corinthians 7: 9, 12-15, 25-28; 1Timothy 4:1-3. Divorce is no less forgivable than any other sin, Matthew 26:28; Ephesians 1:7. God is a God of redemption and restoration. The perfect will of God for Marriage is for the husband and the wife to live in a relationship of love, support, and forgiveness for life, 1 Corinthians 13; Eph. 4: 32; Ephesians 5: 22-33; Mathieu 18: 21-22).
The word of God emphasizes the sacred vows, the conditions, and the consequences of the Marriage, Genesis 2:24; Ecclesiastes 5: 3-4; Num. 30: 3; Ephesians 5:22-33. May the marriage vows be respected and honored by all, Hebrews 13:4.
Education of Children
The goal of all parents is to make their children become mature men and women, responsible and helpful for the Kingdom of God. Therefore, we recommend that parents unite their resources, talents, abilities, and personalities to achieve that goal. In biblical terms, their objective is as follows: “Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it” (Proverbs 22: 6). That glorious task requires honest, loyal, and goodwill partners who consecrate their lives to God without reservation. It also requires support from society, particularly the Church, which is the body of Jesus Christ.
All parents who desire to present their children to God through Lovekingdom must be disciples of Jesus Christ. Someone could not honestly give his children to God if his life does not reflect the attitudes of Jesus Christ or if he doesn’t walk in a manner worthy of the Gospel.
