The Source Houston

A chance encounter with a homeless man in the rain leads Ken down a surprising path towards understanding who Jesus is. Then, he considers the story of Jesus calming the storm from the disciples' perspective, and asks the question they must have faced: are we willing to follow Jesus and learn more about him, even when that information contradicts who we thought he was?

Where does your attention lie in 2018? Kaitlyn looks at where we're looking in our day-to-day lives, and what that means for who we are and what we're committed to. FMHouston.com

A guest sermon from our Head Pastor to lay out the year, Andy talks about the history of the church, having a lack of vision, and looks ahead to the big things God is calling us to in the coming year. fmhouston.com

Ken looks at the story of Simeon meeting baby Jesus in Luke 2:22-40 and breaks down the story from 3 perspectives. How Simeon saw God as a cosmic God playing out a play for creation before and beyond his lifetime, how he saw God as someone who cares for each one of us and invites us to participate with him through the Holy Spirit, and how God’s heart was with the poor and unseen. Ken also shares s...

Kaitlyn explores the story of Christ's birth from a perspective we don't talk much about on Christmas Eve – Joseph, and the struggles he must have had. Joseph lived an interrupted life – what does it look like for us if God calls us to do the same?

Andy has to reintroduce himself to the Vine, since he hasn't been able to preach there for quite some time. But he's immediately off and running with stories of Christmas chicken and waffles, sparking microwaves that refuse to be healed, and a very specific bit of preaching he picked up from the head of Houston homicide. Before he relays the gospels through the real story of St. Nicholas (really!)...

Anthony extolls the holiness of Christmas Jack-in-the-Box before promising a sermon that uses the word "hope" at least 95 times (we didn't count, but we think he got there). fmhouston.com

Kaitlyn takes a break from "Identity" to talk about the massive changes coming in 2018 for The Source community. But it would be Kaitlyn if she didn't start off with some Biblical study, so we kick things off with Romans 12 - "conforming" versus "transforming," and what it means to "renew our minds." Then she dives into the struggles that have got us to this place – and a lot of the questions she...

Brandi explores how ridiculous and laughable the Kingdom of God really is. She bounces from unlikely pregnancies, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, a story of white flour, and a runaway bunny. It's all tied together by Mary's Song - The Magnificat - and the Kingdom of God it announces. The low are lifted up, the rich sent away empty, the hungry are filled with good things. Plus, what it looks like when...

NOTE: This sermon has had a testimony video concerning adopting refugee families for Christmas that needed to be cut out for clarity, since part of the video was in Arabic. The full video is available on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/NsZNWEa8fb4 In order to talk about peace, Kaitlyn breaks down two big questions: How is Jesus connected to others? How are we connected to others, too? That b...

NOTE: This sermon has had a testimony video concerning adopting refugee families for Christmas that needed to be cut out for clarity, since part of the video was in Arabic. The full video is available on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/NsZNWEa8fb4 Ken talks about our relationship with the refugee.

Brandi starts off by wishing everyone a Happy New Year (trust us, it totally makes sense) and cops to her love of the liturgical calendar. Then, she kicks off Advent by talking about kinship, relationship, and the answer to shame. http://thesourcehouston.org/

In the midst of swarming locusts and the receiving of the Holy Spirit, Ken talks about the limitless love of God and the church's role in living it out.

Pastor Ken explores what it means for the church to experience the love of God through the Holy Spirit using the Wesleyan quadrilateral and his favorite song.

This week we continue with our series Equation where we've been learning about the Wesleyan Quadrilateral, a helpful framework for making wise decisions. This week Pastor Kaitlyn digs into the fourth component: experience. How can we learn through our meaningful experiences with the Holy Spirit as we follow Christ forward?
