Convergent Church Sermons

What happens when we die? Does it really matter how we live now? In a world eager to ignore eternity, Jesus speaks with clarity and compassion about the reality of heaven and hell. In this sermon, Pastor Jamison confronts five cultural lies we believe about the afterlife and unpacks the truth from Scripture about what’s at stake.  If you’ve ever wrestled with questions about judgment, grace, or et...

If marriage is supposed to be beautiful, why do so many marriages end in brokenness? We live in a day and age where 50% all marriages end in divorce; is it any wonder so many look at marriage and question, “is it even worth it?”  But what if marriage isn’t the problem but rather our misunderstanding of it? Could it be that we as a society have actually lost the meaning of marriage?  In this messag...

In a culture where identity is constantly shifting and gender is treated as self-defined, we’re left asking a vital question: Who gets to tell me who I am? What if the confusion we feel about identity isn’t just cultural or psychological, but spiritual? What if the longing to define ourselves is actually a deeper longing to be known and named by someone greater? Could it be that God’s design is no...

How did we get here? That question lies at the center of every worldview—and how you answer it will shape the entire trajectory of your life. In a culture that claims everything came from nothing, the Bible offers the true and story: that we were created by a personal, powerful God—on purpose, with purpose, and for His glory! In this message Pastor Dan walks us through Genesis 1:1–2:3 to recover t...

Who is God? Many people have a take on that question! Some people serve nature, others spirits; some believe in science, while others say there is no God. But the Bible reveals a very clear picture of who God is. The Bible attests that we serve One God who reveals himself in three persons. Historically, we have referred to this union as the Trinity. The Christian God is unique. He is the only God...

In a world full of noise, opinions, and shifting values—where do you turn for clarity? At Convergent, we believe the Bible isn’t just an old book—it’s the living, breathed-out Word of God. It doesn’t just inform—it transforms. But can we trust it?  In this sermon Pastor Dan shows us how the Bible is not only trustworthy, but useful and sufficient—revealing God’s truth for every generation. If you’...

What do you do when your soul is dry—when worship feels more like duty than delight? In Psalm 103, David doesn’t wait for spiritual feelings to return—he preaches to his own soul. He remembers. He rejoices. He responds. This isn’t a Psalm for the super-spiritual; it’s for the weary, the battle-worn, the distracted, the disheartened. It’s a call to stir our hearts with the truth of who God is and w...

Have you ever asked yourself, “Why is this happening to me?” In the final chapter of Ruth, we see a story that begins with loss end with life. A story that starts in grief ends in joy. But it doesn’t skip the pain in between. This sermon doesn’t gloss over suffering — it acknowledges it. Because for many of us, life feels more like Mara than Naomi. But what if, even in the bitterness, God is at wo...

In a time of moral chaos, Ruth quietly prepares, boldly steps out in faith, and humbly rests at the feet of her redeemer. Her story is a beautiful picture of what it means to ready ourselves for Christ, rest in His finished work, and wait for His glorious return! Like Ruth, we are called to reject lesser saviors and place our trust in the one true Redeemer. In this sermon, Pastor Jamison explores...

Are you feeling stuck in a season of waiting? Whether you're waiting for a breakthrough, an answer, or a next step—you're not alone. In this week's message from Ruth 2 , we discover that even in the in-between, God is still working . Ruth didn’t have all the answers. She didn’t hear a voice from heaven. But she took one small step of faith and God used it to start rewriting her story....

Have you ever felt like in the midst of your deepest pain God was nowhere to be found? If we’re honest, many of us would say we struggle to know if God is for us or against us sometimes. We doubt, we wonder, and we can fall into disbelief — thinking that maybe God isn’t as good as He says He is. The trials and sufferings of this life can leave us asking, “Where is God?” The book of Ruth asks many...

Life is messy and behind every smile, there’s a struggle.  Whether it’s anxiety, grief, broken relationships, financial stress, or just the crushing weight of everyday life — we all face encounter trouble. But the resurrection of Jesus changes how we face it!  In this sermon, Pastor Dan unpacks John 16:33 helping us to see that while tribulation is inevitable in this life because of sin, peace has...

In the closing lines of Titus, Paul shows us that fruitfulness in the Christian life is deeply connected to faithfulness in Christian community. These verses are more than logistics—they’re a glimpse into how the early church lived in response to Jesus’ presence, provision, and grace! Paul calls Titus and his church to invest in one another by showing up, supporting each other, and serving togethe...

What do you think is the greatest threat to the church? Atheism? Cultural apathy? Government overreach? Radical progressivism—or rigid traditionalism? This past Sunday in our Built to Last series, we explored Titus 3:9–11 and discovered that the greatest threat to the church isn’t what’s “out there,” but what’s in here. It’s not external opposition, but internal division! So, if we’re going to be...

Do you enjoy waiting? Most of us hate having to wait! Yet as followers of Christ, we live in a season of waiting—waiting for our blessed hope, the return of Jesus. But this waiting is not idle; it is purposeful. In this sermon, Pastor Jamison unpacks Paul’s words in Titus 3:1-7, challenging us to consider how the world sees us while we wait. Do our lives reflect the grace that has transformed us?...

Have you ever received “a gift that keeps on giving”? Some "gifts"—like the flu, a family group text, and credit card debt—keep giving in all the WRONG ways! But others—like the joy of parenting, learning a valuable skill, and prioritizing your physical health—offer lasting rewards! In Titus 2:11-15, we see that grace is the ultimate gift that keeps on giving! Too often, we think of grac...

How does your faith shape the way you work? In this message we explore Titus 2:9-10 and uncover how our attitude, integrity, and diligence in the workplace reflect the gospel. Whether you’re leading a team, clocking in for a shift, or managing a household, your work is an opportunity to display Christ. Paul’s words to bondservants in the early church still challenge us today: Are we submissive and...

What does it mean to live a life worth following?  In Titus 2:1-8, Paul lays out a vision for a church where believers—young and old, men and women—walk in a faith that matches their words. God calls us not just to profess sound doctrine but to embody it in the way we live, setting an example for others to follow. In this sermon, Pastor Dan walks through how God has designed discipleship within th...

Who are you allowing to shape your faith? In Titus 1:10-16, Paul warns about the dangers of false teachers—those who twist the truth for personal gain and lead others away from sound doctrine. False teaching isn’t just a problem "out there"—it can creep into the church and our own hearts if we’re not careful. In this sermon Pastor Jamison unpacks what false teaching is, why it’s so dange...

What makes someone a good pastor? As we endeavor to appoint more elders, what should we be looking for? Some would say dynamic communicators, strategic visionaries, influential leaders, and skilled managers with degrees. But if we build our leadership model on these worldly metrics alone, we risk elevating charisma over character, and skill over spiritual maturity. Were not the Pharisees highly ed...

What is an elder? When many of us hear that word, we envision old curmudgeonly people who want to suck the fun from our lives. However, the Bible uses that word very differently! An Elder is a spiritually mature man in the church who is called to help others reach spiritually maturity and avoid dangers to our faith.  In this sermon on Titus 1:5 Pastor Jamison explains what an elder is, what they a...

Dan Dameron Titus 1:1-4 Built to Last: The Foundations of a Healthy Church February 9, 2025

Have you ever thought about the greatness of the Great Commission? Jesus has saved his church to be a light in the world so that All nations would come to know his saving power. However, reaching all nations is a huge mission, one too great for any one church or denomination to fulfill! However, when local churches choose to work together, we extend the reach of Jesus' kingdom and more effecti...

What’s your part in God’s plan? Have you ever felt like God is calling you to something more—but you’re stuck in frustration perpetually waiting for the “right” circumstances? You’re not alone! In this sermon, Pastor Dan unpacks the truth that God isn’t waiting for a better version of you or a perfect scenario to use you! In fact, He’s already given you a mission, empowered you for it, and entrust...

Have you ever been in a conflict with another Christian? I’m sure you have, and if my guess is correct, it was probably over something you said, though more than likely, how you said it. That was probably what sparked the conflict. The Bible is clear that Christians are to speak the truth of God’s word to one another. We are to sharpen each other and remind one another of God’s standards for us. B...
