What is your proudest achievement? There really is no shortage of things that we can pride ourselves on – from where we’ve come from, to who we are related to; what our vocations are, what we’ve accomplished, and even what we’re known for by others. And it was no different with Paul who penned a letter to the Philippian Church. Prior to becoming a follower of Jesus, this guy honestly had a lot of...

Who we follow shapes who we become. If we follow the right people, with the right ideals and motivations, we begin to change for the better. But if we follow the wrong people, with the wrong values and goals, we can end up becoming someone we don’t want to be. In this sermon, Pastor Jamison answers the question “Who should I follow?”

Do you like to work out? Some of us do, some of us don’t. Some of us enjoy the pain of a good gym session, some of us prefer to take it a little easy. One thing we can be sure of is that if we fail to work out, we fail to get stronger and healthier. The Christian life is like one long workout. But instead of developing our bodies, the Apostle Paul calls Christians to work out their salvation. What...

In this introductory sermon to the Boo...

Dan Dameron Nehemiah 13:1-30 Your Part in God's Plans May 19, 2024

What is the greatest sacrifice you've ever had to make? If asked, would you make it again? Most of us don't like scarifice. We'd rather our lives be comfortable, content, peacful and prosperous. However, God's people have always been well acquanted with sacrifice. When God's people choose to willing sacrifice, God uses that sacrifice to change the world. In this sermon, Pastor...

Have you dedicated your life to God? If you’ve ever been to a youth group, church camp, or revival meeting, you’ve probably heard a preacher or an evangelist extend an invitation to “dedicate”, or even "rededicate", your life to God. And it all sounds very good and very spiritual… but what does it actually mean? In this sermon on Nehemiah 10 Pastor Dan helps us discover what a life dedic...

What brings you the most joy? For each of us, something in our lives brings us more joy than anything else; for some it’s food, for other’s it may be family or entertainment. For you it might be a hobby or sport. Something brings you joy. But is what brings you joy the thing God designed you to find joy in?  In this sermon, Pastor Jamison shows us the role God’s Word plays in our pursuit of joy! J...

In this sermon from Nehemiah 7, Pastor Dan challenges us to reflect on and contrast what matters most to us and with what matters most to God. Are they congruent? As we delve into the significance of worship, character, people, and authenticity, we're reminded that these aspects are crucial for spiritual renewal.

It's often said that "When the going gets tough he tough get going". A novel statement. But what do we do when do when life is so tough we are tempted to quit?

Have you ever struggled to fit in? Have you evere felt like you don't belong? Odds are you have. We struggle to fit in for a lot of reasons. The perceptions of others, our own personal pride, and our view of ourselves can make us feel like we don't belong. Here's the good news, in God's family, it's Jesus who makes belonging possible. Because of Jesus's life, death and resu...

Do you feel stuck? Or would you maybe go as far to say "I'm really struggling with where I'm at in life."? All of us have something, at times many things, that we wish we could change – about ourselves, about our circumstances, about the brokenness in our world. So, how do we proceed? While we may intellectually understand that God has placed us where we are to give him glory, ho...

Have you ever wondered why you're here? Maybe not on this earth, but at your job, in your family, in the season you're in? Have you ever wondered what God might be up to in your life, and how he plans to use you? Do you feel frustrated in not knowing? Do you want to find out? I'm happy to tell you you're in good company. Most of us struggle with our purpose in life. Since we all st...

In a world that screams “Get all you can, can all you get, and sit on your can” Jesus flips the script, teaching us that true blessing lies not in what we can get, but in what we give. To this end, Convergent Church values generosity! And in this sermon, Pastor Dan contrasts the things that often motive our generosity with the foundation of biblical generosity and how we can exercise this value bo...

As a church, we value working with other local churches, networks, and ministries to more effectively reach our city, and ultimately the nations, with the gospel! This includes praying with one another, serving alongside one another, and resourcing one another until the day comes when every knee will bow and every tongue confesses that Jesus is Lord. But what is it that compels us towards collabor...

As a church, we have this God-sized vision to see Jesus's kingdom come to the city of Owosso; to see him worshiped right here in our city as he is in heaven. But as noble, and even spiritual, as that sounds, apart from a mission and executed strategy, it's nothing more than a fantasy. So, that begs the question, "How will Jesus's kingdom come to our city?" Because the means d...
