Accelerate Church Podcast

This week at Accelerate, we unpacked the powerful work of the Holy Spirit.  The Spirit isn’t a vague force or distant idea—He’s the living God who makes the gospel real in our lives. The Father planned salvation, the Son accomplished it, and the Holy Spirit applies it to our hearts . He’s the One who gives us new life, cleanses us from sin, unites us to Jesus, and assures us we belong to God.

Pastor Ernest preached a powerful word on marriage from Ephesians 5 in our Love Island collection. He reminded us that marriage is beautiful but fractured — and that it only makes sense when we see it as a picture of the gospel. On the cross, Jesus exchanged His vows with us: He took our sin, bore our shame, and pledged Himself to us forever. Whether you’re married, single, or somewhere in between...

This week at Accelerate Church, Pastor Ernest Grant II preached a message from 1 Samuel 30 in our Love Island collection: “Getting Right After a Swipe Left.” From David’s darkest moment at Ziklag, we see how to deal with rejection, strengthen ourselves in the Lord, seek His direction, and trust Him to restore what was lost.

We’re kicking off a brand-new sermon collection called Love Island—because sometimes the most toxic thing in your life isn’t who you love, but how you’ve earned to love. In this Welcome Home Sunday message, Pastor Ernest Grant, II opens the All Hands on Deck! collection with a powerful word titled, “It’s Giving… Toxic.” Preaching from Judges 16, Pastor Ernest walks through the story of Samson and...

This week Pastor Ernest Grant II preached a life-changing message from 1 Corinthians 15 in our All Hands on Deck collection. He reminded us that the church doesn’t run on personalities, programs, or polish—the power that fuels the church is the gospel. Without it, we drift. With it, lives are changed, hope is restored, and eternity is rewritten.

The early church didn’t start with a worship experience—it started with an invitation. In this message, Pastor Ernest unpacks how a few simple words—“Come and see”—ignited a gospel movement. This isn’t about being perfect, persuasive, or polished. This is about being obedient.

Pastor Ernest Grant II preached a powerful message about what it really means to opt into the Church. In a culture that constantly offers reasons to disengage, disconnect, or deconstruct, this message is a bold reminder that Jesus didn’t opt out on us—so we don’t opt out on His Body.

In this kickoff message from our All Hands on Deck collection, Pastor Ernest Grant, II challenges us to move beyond cruise-ship Christianity and embrace our calling as soldiers on mission. Preaching from 2 Thessalonians 3:1–5, this sermon reminds us that the gospel doesn’t move forward through comfort, but through conviction, obedience, and prayer. The mission is urgent, the resistance is real, an...

Pastor Ernest tackled one of the most honest and difficult questions we face: How can a good God allow so much evil in the world? In this message from our Benefit of Doubt series, we didn’t run from the tension—we leaned into it. We explored how evil not only breaks the world around us, but distorts the world within us. And we wrestled with what it means to still believe in a good God who sometime...

Is it possible to love Jesus and still wrestle with doubt? In this message from Matthew 11, Pastor Ernest Grant II opens our Benefit of Doubt series by showing us that even John the Baptist—the man who baptized Jesus and heard the voice from heaven—had questions. Sitting in prison, he wondered, “Are You really the One?” If you’ve ever found yourself in a prison of unmet expectations, delays, or si...

What if I told you that excellence is more than a standard—it’s a testimony? In this message at Accelerate Church, Pastor Ernest unpacks how Solomon’s wisdom, leadership, and worship left the Queen of Sheba speechless—not just because of what he said, but because of how everything in his kingdom reflected order, honor, and intentionality. Listen to this message from Accelerate Church and discover...
