Vine Worship at Kingwood Methodist

Our time isn't ours to hoard. It's entrusted, part of the inheritance we manage, not an asset we own. In the Ephesians, Paul unpacks the heritage into which we live and what it looks like to live faithfully into that heritage.

As we dig into the back half of the book of Matthew, the question of works vs faith again comes up. While it feels like this is talked about all the time... IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT! How do we both hold that we are discipled towards greater works in Christ, but also understand that access to salvation and greater works in Christ always starts with faith! And, Chris, and Ryan lament a quick exit from...

What are we to harvest as believers? Galatians paints us a beautiful picture of what a harvest in Christ looks like. If you prefer to listen, stream, and/or watch, join us and subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@kingwoodmethodist

As we finish up our series Hearing, Holding, HArvesting, we ask... What does it mean to harvest? And! We get an update on the legendary Watson Fantasy Football league! If you prefer to listen, stream, and/or watch, join us and subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@kingwoodmethodist

It’s great to hear the gospel and believe in it, but Hebrews and First Corinthians remind us that our faith is only truly meaningful if we hold onto it with conviction.  If you prefer to listen, stream, and/or watch, join us and subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@kingwoodmethodist

Burt and Ryan were recently in South Africa for the Global Methodist's General Conference. Ryan gives us a peek backstage of leading worship with such a large and diverse worship team, with as many as 10 different languages spoken and sung. Then Burt provides us with an explanation of the new Articles of Faith, where the GMC has been, where we are going, and what that looks like for KMC.

Many people have taken a stab at interpreting Luke 8 and what it means for us as believers. But a core question, especially when we think about our faith played out in real life, is, can we change the "soil" of our souls? What is the role of the spirit in all of this? Let's talk about it!

In Luke 8 Jesus tells a story about the different ways people respond to him and his message. Hearing the good news about Jesus is important, but it matters just as much what you do with it.  If you prefer to listen, stream, and/or watch, join us and subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@kingwoodmethodist

The Hebrew word for steadfast in Isaiah 26:3 includes the idea of someone leaning on something. Here it is clear what they’re leaning on: YHWH their God. This is the path to “perfect peace” (Hebrew: shalom shalom; repeated for emphasis). Isaiah seems to be speaking of a peace of mind rooted in our hope in God. Calvin brings out Isaiah’s point thus: There is…an implied contrast between God’s fixed...

Hope is “an anchor for the soul, firm and secure,” says Hebrews. The idea of an anchor conjures both the image of a wild, raging sea and something solid, heavy, and secure. Less dramatically, a wall anchor allows you to reliably hang something heavy on soft, insecure drywall. Anchors provide a sense of steadiness in an unsteady situation. How might this help us understand hope? If you prefer to li...

Paul tells us not to worry, but be happy now. But seriously, as we conclude this sermon series, we see the roadmap laid out, starting in Ecclesiastes. The things of this world are fleeting and unfulfilling, but if we root our lives in Jesus, and build our life on the rock, we see that He controls everything around us and we can live a peaceful life, one that has peace from the source. We are joine...

When you read the red letters in the Gospels, how do you hear Jesus’s voice? Contempt? Disappointment? Concern? In this conversation we are joined by the Rev. Stacey Sweet. Maybe we hear Jesus’s voice as we might talk to someone we’re frustrated with, but should we instead hear His voice in the kind-heartedness of a father urging his kids to see the better way?

Scripture tells us repeatedly that the Lord is our Rock, then Jesus tells us to build our house, our life, on the Rock, so what does that look like? Chris and Kimberly are joined by our special guest, the infamous KMC youth pastor, Blake de Llacer who is filling in for Ryan this week.

In Matthew 5-7, Jesus teaches a radical way of life that is actually the best way of life. But it only works if we have a radical trust in God.  If you prefer to listen, stream, and/or watch, join us and subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@kingwoodmethodist

Psalm 1 talks of the blessing that a person planted in Jesus is. To themselves, and those around them. What can we learn from this? And what if we don't like where we are planted?

The biblical book of Psalms begins with a profound reflection on the good, wise life. The psalmist contrasts the example of the wicked with that of someone whose delight is in God’s law. That person doesn’t walk, stand, or sit with sin. Instead, she is like a “tree planted by streams of water.” Fruitful, prospering, flourishing. We spend so much time comparing ourselves with other people, as if th...

What do we do about the crazy teacher in Ecclesiastes? And what do we lay our foundation on? Let's get talkin'! If you prefer to listen, stream, and/or watch, join us and subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@kingwoodmethodist

Usually translated “vanity” or “meaningless”, the Hebrew word “hevel” also has the sense of breath or transitoriness or the ephemeral. In the book of Ecclesiastes, Qohelet’s name means “collector”; he’s a collector of money and pleasure and power and experiences and even wise sayings. In the end, he concludes that all his collections amount to nothing but hevel: empty, meaningless, vapid, vanity....

When we read the dialogue where Jesus claims to be the true vine... We can get confused! First we are to get active and pursue, then we are to rest and abide. What is it!? Or is it both?

Today the crew dives into "I am the way, the truth, and the life." Kimberly points out, that when we take a step back, Jesus can feel a little... Harsh? in His communication. So we step back and look at it, and look at what Jesus is saying. Plus we discuss Kingwood's boomin' food scene.

In John 14, Jesus shows us the way to the Father - and it is Jesus himself. The way to know the deep and transforming love of God is by connecting with Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit.  If you prefer to listen, stream, and/or watch, join us and subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@kingwoodmethodist
