Multiply Church (Pensacola)

Join us as we continue our 3-week series This is Us! This week is all about the Mission. The Mission is to go make disciples! * Paradigm shift # 1 - We go in his authority not ours! * Paradigm shift # 2 - We make Disciples not Christians * Paradigm shift # 3 - Go don’t just Assume * Paradigm shift # 4 - Have your eyes beyond your own development! Discipleship is the lifelong process of surrenderin...

We kick off 2025 examining God’s heart for Multiplication. As God’s people abide with Him, we begin to shape our lives to reflect his heart.

For Christmas Eve, we take a look at the Magi who traveled hundreds of miles to worship the new king. Christmas is a yearly reminder that the worship of Jesus is what we were made for, but we have to chose it for ourselves.

The Kingdom of Herod was alive in well at the time of Jesus’ birth. His Kingdom embodied the values that Kings and Kingdoms have historically carried: Impersonal, Reactionary, Full of Power Grabs. But the good news of Chrsitmas is that a new King has been born to implement a better kingdom.

This week we examine the next set of Impossible claims made by Matthew: Mary was pregnant by the Holy Spirit, therefore the child is Immanuel, therefore He will save the world from sin. We will examine these claims through the questions of. Is it true, Is it good, Is it for me?

James ends his letter to the church with an invitation to prayer. While the whole of the letter has been a call to action, there is a needed reminder that action without prayer lacks power. Followers of Jesus need both a personal and corporate vision of talking to God.

Arrogance in the church is the next item up for James to confront. Arrogance operates under three claims: It’s your fault, I’m better than you, Tomorrow is mine. James will remind the church, that God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

Most are aware of the power our words contain. We can build others up, or tear others down. But have you ever stoped to examine where those words come from? In James chapter 3, James connects the dots and shows us how our words find their origin in the “well of wisdom” that’s deep within our souls.

James asks a huge question to the early church that each generation after must answer: What use is it, if a person says they have faith, but has no works, can that faith save him? Join us as we discover that while salvation is by faith alone, true faith is never alone.

Favoritism and partiality were starting to show up in the early church, the same way they can show up today. We need constant reminders that to do so, reveals a disconnect between the Faith we claim and the Actions that are being produced.

This week, we talk about distractions that keeps followers of Jesus out of the game and on the sidelines. When faced with situations that move us to anger, we need to be confronted by the word of God, so we can get back in the game and make our faith visible.

In week one of our series in the book of James, we’ll take a look at the topic of Trials and the role they play in the growth of a Jesus follower. Jesus lovingly allows pain points to exist which mature our faith. While this perspective is not an easy one to accept, God’s people can joyfully live for him regardless of the circumstances.

This Sermon is taken from Acts chapter 12 First Pray! Then Move! Then Expect God to Move! Then Watch him Multiply!

We finished this series by connecting the dots of how God desires to flow through the home into the city. As Jesus followers understand the mission, they begin to leverage their marriages, parenting, and singleness to “love the city” God has sent them to.

Its easy to talk marriage, family, and the home and neglect singles. This season of life is a gift that when stewarded well, will continue living out the mission of the Kingdom. Jesus came so that we might have abundant life and that applies to all relationsihp status’s.

In God’s design, the voice of parents/guardians are meant to shape the next generation. Regardless of the age or personality of children, God’s people can look to his framework to lead the home well.

In our last week of this series, we will examine the life of a disciple that intentionally positions themselves in the company of Jesus. In scripture, this is the call to “Abide”. In a culture of busyness, there is an urgency to create Margin, Moments, and Mile-Markers along the journey.

Discipleship to Jesus means not just listening to the teachings of Jesus, but also means we live as Jesus lived life. When we follow the daily rhythms of Jesus, we get a glimpse of what it means to live as a human under God’s rule.

The Kingdom has arrived, the King is on the scene, and he offers the opportunity become his disciple. Following the King is what our hearts were designed for and yet it’s a decision that comes with a cost. A yes to Jesus will always mean no to something else.

If the narrative of scripture and the teachings of Jesus revolve around “The Kingdom of God”, than what does it look like to gain access to this Kingdom? In Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son, he articulates the type of person of would respond favorably to the invitation to join as well as the type of person that would stand in opposition to it.

It’s one thing to be able to talk about something, but it’s another thing to implement an idea into everyday living. Since Jesus’ ascension into Heaven, the church has carried out the teaching of the Kingdom both verbally and physically. We now stand as the next in line to advance the Kingdom as we wait for the King.

The Kingdom of God/Heaven is the primary message of Jesus throughout his ministry and yet one of the least discussed today. This week, we’ll answer questions like: What is the Kingdom of God, When did this Kingdom talk begin, Why did Jesus come, and How should I respond to the news of it’s arrival?

Guest Speaker: JoJo Moss! This week’s sermon comes from Matthew 5: 1-12.
