Clay and Thorns
Sunday May 21, 2023
Sunday May 21, 2023
Book Text: 2 Corinthians 12:6-10
Big Idea:
Many people have experienced heartache, heartbreak, brokenness, and anguish at levels that don’t easily go away. It lingers. It lasts. It’s there. Grace meets us there amid the unresolved places in our lives. Today we affirm those who require an understanding of grace that takes seriously the fragility of our jars of clay and lasting thorns, left in place to display the strength of God in our weakness.

Living The Life of Holiness
Saturday May 20, 2023
Saturday May 20, 2023
Book Text: Acts 2:42-47
Big Idea:
Growth in the grace of God is essential. Many of us have journeys marked by moments when grace found its way into our lives in significant ways. We point back to those moments. We celebrate those moments. However, we must find a way to live between these significant moments. John Wesley understood the importance of what we’ve come to call the “means of grace.” We need consistent Christian practices to nurture and nourish the grace we live into daily. We are responsible to cooperate with God’s grace throughout our lives.

Navigating The Gap
Sunday May 07, 2023
Sunday May 07, 2023
Book Text: Acts 1:6-14; 2:17
Big Idea:
As Wesleyans, we believe in the beautiful optimism of grace, otherwise known as sanctification. We believe God can work in the lives of believers through the power of the Holy Spirit in such definitive ways that we are no longer held captive to the residue and baggage of our lives. We are set free to love God with all ourselves and our neighbors as ourselves. This week we proclaim the good news of heart change while at the same time helping our you understand the work we must do to cultivate the soil of our hearts in preparation of the deep work of the Spirit. There is no magic wand in sanctifying grace. God’s work in us happens as we work with God to name and confess the elements of our past, present, and future that hinder the Journey of Grace.

Different Stories, Same Need
Sunday Apr 30, 2023
Sunday Apr 30, 2023
Book Text: Luke 18:35 - 19:10
Big Idea:
The objective of this sermon is a deep dive into the nature of salvation. Too often people have been shaped by a transactional theology that means they understand the cross solely in terms of a debt paid and a ticket to a destination purchased. Though we will never deny the efficacy of Jesus on the cross for the sins of the world or the eternity of life with Christ, we must understand that salvation means so much more. Salvation is about present liberation from sin and making us whole. Throughout this sermon, we will seek to invite our listeners to imagine a holistic salvation that transforms us thoroughly.

Sneaky Grace
Sunday Apr 23, 2023
Sunday Apr 23, 2023
Book Text: Acts 10
Big Idea:
The objective of this week's sermon is to explore what could be one of the most exciting and intriguing claims of Wesleyan theology: prevenient grace. Dr. Busic in Way, Truth, Life calls it “seeking grace.” As Wesleyans, we believe that grace is at work long before we understand what grace even is. This claim is transformative to the way we understand discipleship and evangelism. This sermon explores the opportunities we have as Christians to discern grace at work in the lives of those around us every day. We will probe the idea that, if we believe in prevenient grace, we also believe that discipleship precedes conversion and that Christians are called to be present in the lives of those around us discerning that work of grace.

The Compelling Invitation
Sunday Apr 16, 2023

Big Idea:
The objective of this sermon is to set the stage for the journey upon which you are embarking with your church. Pastor Kevin will introduce discipleship as a journey of grace. Too often the Christian life is portrayed as a decision or destination. But Christianity is really a Journey that we are invited to participate in daily.

You Need Only Be Still
Tuesday Apr 04, 2023
Tuesday Apr 04, 2023
Book Text: Exodus 3:17-14:29
Big Idea: On the journey to freedom, the Israelites ran into an obstacle called the Red Sea. Without a way to cross, they were in danger of the pursuing Egyptian army. With no way out, God was their only source of hope. God tells them to be still and see the salvation of the Lord. When it comes to experiencing freedom in our lives, we sometimes come against huge obstacles. We can be tempted to give up. However, God would say to us, be still and wait on the Lord to deliver you.

Let It Go!
Tuesday Mar 28, 2023
Tuesday Mar 28, 2023
Book Text: Exodus 6-11
Big Idea: Pharaoh needed incentive in order to let the Israelites go free. He was not willing to give them up. God made things uncomfortable before he reluctantly relented. Likewise, the things in our lives that enslave us, like addiction, abuse, failure and regret are not quick to release us. You can expect that the journey to freedom will be accompanied by pain and difficulty, but it will be worth it.
