Convergent Church Sermons

As we step into a new year, we’re flooded with goals, plans, and resolutions — but most of them fade by February. What if there was  one  resolution that truly changes everything? In this New Year’s message from Philippians 3:4–14, Pastor Dan invites us to shift from chasing self-improvement to pursuing spiritual transformation — from changing our habits to reshaping our hearts. Paul’s testimony c...

Why did Jesus really come and what does that mean for your life today? At Christmas, we hear many answers about who Jesus is and why He came. Some say Jesus came to show us that God loves us. Some say he came to make the world a better place, or to make us happy, healthy and wealthy. But Luke 2 gives us the clearest and most compelling reason why Jesus came: to redeem us.  In this message Pastor J...

What if your affliction is a part of a greater plan, that would glorify God? Would that bring you peace? This Christmas, life doesn't stop being messy—but neither does God's plan! The first Christmas was a chaotic scene of global politics, stressful travel, and humble birth, yet every detail—from Caesar's decree to the manger's straw—was perfectly orchestrated by God to fulfill pro...

What overflows from you when life overwhelms you? Life is full of stresses that threaten to overwhelm us. One moment we are living life as usual and out of nowhere something comes along which leaves us reeling, wondering what to do next.  How do you respond when you’re met with an impossible situation? What comes out of you when the pressures are high and friends are few?  In this sermon Pastor Ja...

How do you live faithfully when God calls you into the unknown? When life takes an unexpected turn, when the plans you made for yourself don’t pan out, when you find yourself in a place you thought you would never be, what does faithfulness look like In Luke 1:26–38, we encounter a young woman named Mary who had her own plans and dreams for the future. But everything was about to change. God was a...

In this message from Psalm 96, guest speaker  Austin Segar (Church Planter of Greater Glory Church), reminds us that God alone is worthy — worthy of worldwide worship, worthy of greater glory, and worthy of our eternal enjoyment. Be encouraged to lift your eyes and your praise to the God who reigns over all! Psalm 96 Austin Segar November 23, 2025

What does Jesus desire most for His people? In this sermon on John 17:1-26 Pastor Dan walks us through the longest recorded prayer of Jesus and shows how Christ’s final requests to the Father reveal His deepest longings for His church. From redemption to preservation, to unity culminating in future glory, we discover that Jesus doesn’t just want us to survive this world — He wants us to know Him,...

When doubts creep in, where do you find your footing? Jesus promised His disciples peace because He has overcome the world! In this sermon from John 16:16-33 Justin explains why your joy is totally secure and how your confusion can actually lead to a deeper understanding of the gospel. Tune in to learn how to live with peace in the middle of tribulation! Justin Meyer John 16:16-33 The Gospel of Jo...

Have you ever been tasked with something you didn’t feel equipped to accomplish? Maybe it was a new job, a major life change, or a season that felt far beyond your ability. That’s exactly how the disciples felt when Jesus told them He was leaving and that it was  to their advantage . How could that possibly be a good thing? Because when Jesus ascended, the Holy Spirit descended — and the presence...

Why does the world hate Christians? That might sound like a heavy question, but Jesus actually  answers it directly  in John 15–16 — on the night before the cross — when He prepares His disciples for the opposition that will come with following Him. In this message we look at: - Why hostility toward Christians shouldn’t surprise us - Why faithfulness often creates friction with culture - How the H...

We all want a life that is spiritually vibrant — rooted, steady, filled with joy, and bearing lasting fruit. But if Jesus promised a life of fruitfulness… why do so many believers feel spiritually dry, weary, or unfruitful? In this sermon on John 15:1-17, Pastor Dan brings us back to the source:Fruit doesn’t begin with effort — it begins with connection .  Abiding is not striving — it’s staying cl...

Have you ever felt abandoned by God? Have you ever felt God had said “goodbye” and you were walking through life’s hardest moments all alone?  What if I told you that Jesus’ goodbye was actually the best news we could ever receive? In John 14, Jesus tells His disciples something shocking: that it’s good for Him to leave. How could that possibly be good? Because in His absence, He sends the Holy Sp...

What do you do when the world feels like it’s falling apart? When chaos, tragedy, and division seem to surround us—how can our hearts possibly remain untroubled? In this  message from John 14:1–14, Justin Meyer reminds us that in a world overwhelmed by fear and confusion, Jesus offers unshakable assurance: “Let not your hearts be troubled.” So, if your heart has felt heavy, this sermon will lift y...

If you had one night left on earth, what would you say to the people you love most? Would you give them advice, express gratitude, or warn them not to repeat your mistakes? On the night before His death, Jesus had just such a moment with His disciples, and what He chose to say may surprise you. Instead of offering strategies for survival, He gave them a single command: to love as He loved! In this...

What makes someone a good leader? Is it confidence? Charisma? The ability to get results? We often measure leadership by power and position, but in John 13 we see Jesus turn that definition upside down. On the night before His crucifixion, the King of Kings knelt down with a towel and basin to wash His disciples’ feet. In this message, Pastor Dan unpacks how true leadership isn’t about status but...

What if the one thing missing in your church... is you? Have you ever wondered why you're drawn to certain roles or repelled by others? Why are you energized by serving in one way but exhausted in another? What if your unique wiring wasn’t random but was intentionally designed by God for a specific role in His family? In this sermon, Pastor Jamison unpacks the purpose of the spiritual gifts fr...

It’s been said that “bad company corrupts good character” and “a man is known by the company he keeps.” Which begs the question: what makes someone a good friend? Friendship is something we all longs for because it’s something that God designed us for.  And friendship is powerful! It can bring some of the greatest joy in life and point you toward wisdom, holiness, and Jesus. But it can also bring...

Have you ever looked at the world and thought, “That’s not right—where’s the justice in that?”   We feel it in the news, in our neighborhoods, even in our own homes. From playground squabbles to political corruption, from family conflicts to cultural debates, our hearts cry out for what is right. In a world full of injustice, where is true justice found? In this sermon, Pastor Jamison shows us how...

Does our work matter to God? So often we think of work as just a paycheck, a grind, or something to just get through. But the scriptures paint a different picture: work is more than just survival—it’s a means of stewardship, worship, and provision. In this sermon, Pastor Dan unpacks how the Proverbs teach that diligence in our work provides for our needs, protects us from unnecessary hardship, and...

When you think about your life, what kind of legacy will you leave behind? Parenting is more than raising successful kids, it’s about shaping souls and leaving behind a legacy of wisdom and faith! In this message, Pastor Jamison shares how we can pass on what we treasure, lovingly shape our children’s character, and live with a faith worth imitating. Whether you’re a parent, a future parent, or di...

What you give to God’s kingdom doesn’t fade—it echoes into eternity! In this sermon, Ed Emmerling , Executive Director of the Baptist State Convention of Michigan, reminds us that everything we have belongs to God—we’re not owners, but stewards entrusted with His resources! That means giving isn’t a tax, but an active worship, and one of the clearest ways we exercise our trust in Him!  Through pra...

We live in a world that constantly tells us to elevate ourselves—prove your worth, protect your image, seek the spotlight. But what if that mindset is actually working against you? In this sermon, Justin Meyer explores the subtle—and not so subtle—ways pride creeps into our lives: dismissing correction, overestimating ourselves, refusing to admit weakness, taking undue credit, and judging others....

What if the greatest threat to your faith isn’t around you—but  within  you? Busyness, temptation, cultural pressure, and suffering are real struggles—but Scripture says the most important thing you must guard isn’t your bank account, your doctrine, or even your family... it’s your  heart! In this sermon from Proverbs 4:23, Pastor Dan helps us see the sobering truth:  whatever grips your heart wil...

Where do you turn for wisdom in a world full of noise? This week at Convergent Church, we began a new sermon series through the book of Proverbs called Walking Wisely in a Fool’s World. While the world offers quick tips and clever slogans, Proverbs offers something far deeper, God’s vision for a life marked by discernment, integrity, and truth. In this introductory message Pastor Jamison explores...

When was the last time you shared the gospel with someone who doesn’t know Jesus? We live like there’s always more time—more time to get serious about our faith, more time to share the gospel, more time to tell that friend or family member about Jesus. But what if there’s not? In this powerful message, Pastor Dan sounds a much-needed wake-up call to the Church: the time is short, the stakes are et...
