Are you just ticking a box, or truly following Jesus? Trinity Church Sugar Land kicked off our new series 'Opt In to Transformation' with a message about what it really means to be a disciple of Christ.  Jesus is inviting us to a transformative journey that changes every aspect of our lives. Jesus said: 'By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.&...

Doing the Little Things Well: Living Out God's Love in Everyday Life Scripture reminds us that true worship goes beyond Sunday services. It's about how we live our daily lives, showing God's love through ways we might not always think ok.   These 'little things' may seem small, but they make a huge impact. They set us apart as followers of Christ in a self-centered world. ...

"It's not what we can do for God, but what God can do through us." In our journey to extend God's kingdom, a better me leads to a better us. How does this knowledge help us fight our battles and grow stronger?  Like Benaiah, one of David's mighty warriors, let's fight side by side, winning one battle at a time. Together, we can make a difference and extend God's...

Are we fighting the right battles? In the "Live Large," series, by Rev. Dr. Ralph du Plessis at Trinity Church Sugar Land we're learning from David's mighty warriors. Today's lesson: Surprise, it's not about barley fields, it's about God's Kingdom! "The kingdom of God is extended when we resist the temptation to assimilate to this world and instead choo...

Are you building your own kingdom or God's? 🤔 This week's sermon challenges us to examine our hearts and motives. In a world obsessed with power and status, we're called to a different path: Remember, there's only one true King - Jesus Christ. When we humbly submit our talents and ambitions to Him, we become part of something far greater than ourselves. 'He must increase,...

Facing Your Giants: Lessons from David & Goliath 💪🏼 What seemingly insurmountable challenge are you facing today?  'The Lord who saved me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear will save me from the hand of this Philistine.' - David God is bigger than any giant you may face. With Him, all things are possible!  Are you ready to live large and step into the incredible...

Are you truly living in the freedom Christ offers? This week's sermon on Galatians challenges us to examine the fruit in our lives. Are we using our freedom for self-indulgence, or to love and serve others?  Ask yourself (or better yet, ask a trusted friend): • Does my life reflect Christ? • Can others see the fruit of the Spirit in me? • Am I using my freedom to love my neighbor? Join us at...

Are you trying to customize your faith? In our consumer-driven world, we often try to pick and choose which parts of Christianity we want to follow. But true faith in Christ isn't a buffet - it's a full embrace of a new life! This week's sermon on Galatians 3:23-29 reminds us not to settle for a customized, watered-down version of faith. Fully embrace your new life in Christ and wat...

Is grace enough for you? In our journey of faith, it's easy to get lost and turn to a 'Jesus plus' gospel. We start well, but slowly drift into thinking we need to earn God's love through our good works. God loves you dearly, not because of what you do, but because of what Christ has done. 'If justification came through the law, then Christ died for nothing.' - Galati...

🔥 Are you adding anything to the gospel? Paul's letter to the Galatians reminds us of a crucial truth: We are saved by faith in Christ alone, not by our works or anything we can do. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." - John 3:16  We Need to Talk - A Message on Freedom in Christ Join us...

Is there more to our faith than just going through the motions? 🤔 Let's explore how to take our Christian walk to a deeper level. It's not just about church attendance or serving on committees - it's about living with purpose and making a real difference in the world.  Are you ready to break out of Christian loops and journey deeper with Christ? Join us in committing to authentic r...

Too often, we turn communal acts into individual pursuits. We study alone, pray alone, and even take communion... alone. What if we returned to the vibrant, connected faith of the early church?  In Acts 2:42, we see the early church devoted to four key practices: • The apostles' teaching • Fellowship • Breaking of bread • Prayer But here's the catch – they did all of this IN COMMUNITY. A...

We dive deep into Acts 2:42-47 and uncover a powerful truth: the early church's success in disciple-making wasn't about resources or strategies - it was about DEVOTION to community! Read Acts 2:42-47. How can we embody this spirit of community and devotion in our church today? 🔥 Are we making disciples or just sharing information? 🤔 Join us next time as we continue to explore what it t...

Today's sermon reminds us that God intentionally created us with diverse gifts and backgrounds. When we embrace our differences and work together in unity, we become a powerful witness for Christ. We are BETTER TOGETHER! 🙌 What unique gift has God given you to build up the body of Christ?  To learn more about the Trinity Church family visit our website at https://trinitychurchsugarland.org ;...

This week challenges us to examine our emotions, the practical purpose they serve and how we can bring them captive to the will of God. What examples did Jesus, our great teacher, set for us?  May God continue to lead us nearer to himself as we continue to rest in His promises and humbly walk the path He call us to. 🙏 To learn more about the Trinity Church family visit our website at https://trin...

This Easter, we celebrate not just the resurrection of Jesus, but the resurrection of hope, dreams, forgiveness, and relationship. Christ's sacrifice wasn't an ending—it was a new beginning!  He is risen! 🙌 Jesus gave up EVERYTHING so we could receive EVERYTHING.  What do you receive? How do you receive it? Listen this week and rejoice in the incredible gift of the resurrection and the...

On Palm Sunday, we're reminded that encountering Jesus always elicits a response.  Jesus' entry into Jerusalem sparked various reactions - from joyful celebration to skepticism. But one thing's certain: no one could remain indifferent. As we reflect on Palm Sunday, let's examine our own response to Christ. Is it visible in our obedience, generosity, and worship? Remember, even...

This week challenges us to examine our hearts like Mary of Bethany. Mary's act of pouring expensive perfume on Jesus' feet wasn't just about the gift-it was about her wholehearted devotion. Are we more concerned with pleasing others or pleasing God? Are we willing to break cultural norms, humble ourselves, and make extravagant sacrifices to honor Jesus? May God continue to lead us n...

This Lenten season, we're diving deep into Jesus' parable of the loving Father. It's not just about a wayward son, but also about an older brother who missed the heart of his father. Who are you in the story of the Prodigal Son? 🤔 Are we sometimes closer to God in our brokenness than in our self-righteousness? Join us as we explore how to represent God's love to a world in nee...

This Lent, we're challenged to take a hard look at our lives. Are we deflecting responsibility or truly embracing change? Jesus calls us to more than just acknowledging our wrongs - He invites us to transform our thinking and actions. Repentance isn't about guilt; it's about growth. It's the fork in the road between perishing and flourishing. When we choose to live God's w...

Are you prepared to journey with Jesus this Lenten season? Today we explore Luke 13:31-35 and discover what it means to follow Christ through opposition and suffering. Jesus showed us how to persevere with love, even when faced with challenges. This Lent, let's reflect on our commitment to Jesus and ask ourselves: What are we living for? Is Christ's love compelling us to stay faithful to...

As we begin our Lenten journey, let's reflect on the temptations Jesus faced and what they teach us about true value in life.  Jesus shows us what really matters. This Lent, let's return to this profound truth from 1 John 3:1 - "See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!" Join us as we focus on "Not...

As we begin this season of Lent on this Ash Wednesday and reflect on our own humility; do we know what it means to be humble?  2 Cor 6:8-18 seemingly has many contradictions. glory-dishonor, bad report- good report, sorrowful-rejoicing. How do we reconcile the tension?  How are we to be humble and also followers of the most high God?  Join us as we focus on "Nothing But Jesus, Everything For...
