Convergent Church Sermons

Are you longing for deeper community but struggling to find it? The reality is God designed us for community! In fact, the Gospel makes us family and our faith is actually forged through our relationships with one another. From the early church we learn that authentic community requires more than just desire—it necessitates devotion and sacrifice. Tune in to learn six practical ways you can establ...

What is the most powerful thing a Christian can do? Maybe you think it’s forgiving wrongs, turning the other cheek, enduring persecution, or telling people about the gospel. All those things are powerful and essential to the Christian life, but the single, most powerful thing a Christian can do… is pray. Prayer is interesting, isn't it? Christians have the privilege of communing with the author of...

It may come as a surprise to some, but the vision of Convergent Church isn’t to become the largest church in town, nor is it to have the nicest building, our own Christian school, or the most dynamic programming. It’s so much bigger than that! Because we could do all of those things and still not make a dent on the lostness in our city. In this sermon, Pastor Dan casts the vision of a new city —a...

Are you weary? Are you tired? Do the holidays seem like one big chaotic mess? Do you need peace? If we are honest, many of us become overwhelmed during the Christmas season. Anxiety swells, grief can cripple us, and conflict abounds. For most of us, the most wonderful time of the year leaves us more drained than when we started. We pine of peace. Friend, the peace we long for can only be found in...

How do we navigate grief during the holidays? If we’re honest, we’re often told Christians should be happy, shiny, joyful people, especially during the holidays. With all the celebration, lights, traveling, cooking, and celebrating it can be easy to bury ur griefs and sorrows to avoid the process of healing God wants to work out through our grief this time of year. Christians need to know it’s oka...

How do we navigate the relational tension that often accompanies this season?  In this message, Justin walks us through Ephesians 5 and uncovers practical wisdom to overcome stress, conflict, and relational strain by walking in love! Through Paul’s words, we’ll discover how to extend grace, patience, and kindness to those around us, even in the most challenging circumstances. Whether you're dealin...

Does anxiety feel like an unwelcome guest this holiday season? Between financial stress, family dynamics, overcommitment, routine disruptions, and the weight of grief, it’s no wonder so many of us feel overwhelmed this time of year! But what if the anxiety we carry wasn’t meant to crush us but to shape us? In this sermon we’re taking an honest look at the worries that weigh us down and exploring J...

In John 12 we witness Jesus making a series of life-altering choices. As Jesus prepares for the cross, he must choose faithful obedience over fear, uncertainty, and self-reliance. Like Jesus, the choices we make shape our legacy and impact eternity. Everyday, we are faced with the same decision as Jesus, whether to glorify God, or promote ourselves. Will we choose what is good, righteous, and God-...

On Sunday, Pastor Dan unpacked John 12:1–26, challenging us to consider this question:  Is Jesus your means or is Jesus your end? We explored how people often come to Jesus for many reasons—seeking comfort, solutions, or blessings. Judas sought profit, the religious leaders pursued prestige, and the crowds craved power. Yet, only one reason leads to eternal life: recognizing Jesus as the ultimate...

This message explores incredible truth that Jesus is the Resurrection. We saw how His timing is always perfect, even when it feels delayed, and how His presence brings us comfort in ways that meet our deepest needs. We were reminded of His all-sufficient power as He called Lazarus from the grave, proving He has authority over life and death. Finally, we recognized that Jesus' resurrection power de...

Where do you place your hope? In this world we can place our hope in many things. Some people place their hope in money, some in relationships, others in political leaders, and others still in themselves. Where we place our hope matters. Like a house built on shifting sands, If we place our hope on what is unstable, we are headed for collapse. The scriptures are clear, only one thing, one person,...

Have you ever questioned God’s love for you? In John 10:1-21, Jesus reveals himself as the Good Shepherd who cares for his sheep. In this sermon Pastor Dan helps us see how we can be certain of God's love for us even in the most uncertain of times because Jesus gathers us, he guards us, and gives his life for us!

Why do the innocent suffer? For millennia people have tried to explain why bad things happen to good people. When we suffer, we tend to think that it is a consequence of our sin, and that the suffering we are experiencing is actually God’s displeasure with us. What if we knew that in our suffering, God had a plan? Would that change how we experienced trials? Would it change how we viewed God? In t...

What is one thing that is true of every person? What is something that is true of both the young and old, liberals and conservatives, wealthy and poor? We are all dying! You read that right: death is an equal-opportunity offender, and we never know when our time will come! For many, this brings fear and uncertainty. But that doesn’t have to be the case! In fact, you can know for certain today wher...

Have you ever questioned your faith? In John 8:31-47, Jesus speaks to a group of Jews who initially believed in Him, but their lack of genuine faith soon became clear. Jesus teaches that true disciples abide in His word, know the truth, and find freedom in Him. But what does it mean to "abide" in His word, and how does this lead to freedom? In this sermon, Justin Meyer explains how knowing the tru...

How important is light? Imagine brushing your teeth, getting dressed or driving to work without the ability to see. Without light plants don’t grow. Without light animals can’t live. Without light the world crumbles around us. Light is essential for light. No light, no hope. Sadly, we are all born without light. Born into spiritual darkness, separated from God and desperate for hope. Jesus proclai...

This week's message dives deep into the truth that Jesus is not just a prophet—He is THE Prophet! Just like a winning lottery ticket or life-changing investment advice, Jesus offers us something even greater: living water and a life of eternal value. Tune in as John Lowrey helps us learn how to "Profit from the Prophet" by hearing and believing the words of Jesus, who alone can guide us to eternal...

Have you ever misjudged someone? Perhaps you've drawn conclusions based on appearances or limited information, only to discover later that you were wrong. In John 7, we see this very thing happen to Jesus. The Jews, focusing on outward appearances, failed to make a right judgment about Him, and many missed the truth of who He was. This same confusion persists today—people wrestle with question...

Jamison Bebiak Acts 17:16-34 Evangelism by the Book September 8, 2024

On Sunday we continued our ‘Evangelism by the Book’ sermon series with a look into Prophetic Evangelism, as seen in Acts 2:14-41. In this sermon, Pastor Dan unpacks how God's Word acts as a spiritual MRI to reveal our sickness with sin and how just as a good doctor would never withhold a life-saving diagnosis, we too must boldly share the cure for sin with others! 🌟 Highlights: How to bring G...

There’s more than one way to reach the lost. When we think about evangelism, we often picture the preacher on the street corner or the pastor in the pulpit. You may be surprised to know that evangelism is something every Christian is called to pursue with the people they already know and that there’s no clear cut way to do it! In this sermon, Pastor Jamison recounts the story of Philip and the Eth...

Have you ever encountered someone who was visibly down on their luck? Did you engage with them or turn away? Did you try to meet them with some form of compassion in their time of need? And if so, what was your motivation? In this week's sermon Pastor Dan explains how God has called you and I into the fray to compassionately apply the gospel to the brokenness of the world. But where do we star...

Evangelism is hard! Few would dispute that. When we attempt to share the gospel there is always a potential for loss. Loss of friends. Loss of influence. Loss of family. And in extreme cases, the loss of Life. Despite all of the reasons we stand to suffer loss, the Bible is full or reasons why the church should evangelize and why it matters so much to Jesus and his Kingdom. In the sermon Pastor Ja...

The final words someone leaves us with are important and often leave a profound on our lives. After the resurrection, Jesus gave him disciples one final command before ascending to heaven:  "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you." (Matt. 28:19-20...

What do you believe is hindering your generosity?  Is there just not enough time in the day?  Maybe you simply lack the skills to meet physical needs? Perhaps you are discerning a charitable cause, so that you can faithfully steward the money you’ve been entrusted with? Or maybe it’s your income level? Whatever the case may be, in this sermon Justin Meyer helps us see how God’s provision is greate...
