The Gathering Church (Video)

This powerful message takes us back to the very foundation of American liberty, reminding us that the Declaration of Independence contains five revolutionary words that changed not just a nation, but the entire world: 'All men are created equal.' These words are not merely political philosophy—they are deeply rooted in the Judeo-Christian worldview that recognizes every human being as created in t...

The sermon draws from Deuteronomy 5:9-10 and Ezekiel 18:20 to address a crucial question: are we simply repeating generational patterns of sin and dysfunction, or are we breaking free to build something new? We're reminded that repentance isn't just about turning from individual sins, but also about recognizing harmful patterns we've normalized in our families. The call here is urgent - we must be...

This powerful message tackles one of the most uncomfortable yet vital topics in our spiritual lives: money and tithing. Drawing from the vivid imagery of the 'third rail' in subway systems, we're reminded that just as touching that electrified rail means instant death, avoiding the biblical teaching on giving can spiritually harm us. The Gathering Church is located in Midland, Texas. You can watch...

This sermon teaches that becoming a Christlike disciple requires more than desire—it requires the power of the Holy Spirit working within us. Jesus promised the Holy Spirit to dwell in believers, purify their hearts, empower them to overcome sin, and give them boldness to witness for Christ. Through the Spirit’s presence, we receive both the desire and the power to live holy, victorious lives that...

This powerful message takes us into the upper room at the Last Supper, where we encounter one of the most sobering realities in Scripture: the danger of proximity without surrender. Through the story of Judas, we're confronted with a challenging truth—it's possible to be near Jesus, to witness His miracles, to participate in His ministry, and yet never truly make Him Lord.  The Gathering Church is...

What does true greatness look like in the Kingdom of God? This powerful message challenges us to reconsider everything culture has taught us about success, recognition, and importance. While the world pushes us to climb higher, gain more influence, and protect our image, Jesus demonstrates something radically different—He kneels to wash feet.  The Gathering Church is located in Midland, Texas. You...

This powerful message challenges us to reconsider what biblical health stewardship truly means and why it matters to God. Beginning with the parable of the talents from Matthew 25, we're reminded that stewardship isn't merely a suggestion—it's an expectation. Just as the servants were entrusted with resources and held accountable for how they managed them, we've each been given a physical body as...

This powerful message challenges us to examine where we stand in the crowd of Christianity. Drawing from John 8:31-36, we're confronted with a crucial question: Are we merely listeners, casual fans, or true disciples of Jesus?  The journey from fan to disciple requires belief, willingness to grow through discipleship and mentorship, and ultimately full surrender. When we truly embrace this path, w...

This message challenges us to recognize how naturally self-centered we are and how that mindset creates division in our relationships and distance from God. Through the example of the disciples and the teaching of Jesus, we see that true greatness in God’s kingdom comes through humility and serving others. Jesus Himself modeled this by becoming less—choosing obedience, sacrifice, and the cross. Wh...

In a world full of self-help and constant pressure to improve ourselves, we often discover that self-discipline alone is not enough to produce lasting change. This message reminds us that true transformation comes when we come to the end of ourselves and rely on God’s grace to shape us into the image of Christ. Through Jesus, the true vine, we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to bear the fruit of...

This sermon traces the believer’s journey from death in sin to new life in Christ, showing how Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection bring immediate spiritual transformation. Our “old self” dies with Him, and through baptism and faith, we step into resurrection life, empowered to live free from sin. God renews our hearts, enabling holy living and aligning our desires with His will. Ultimately, th...

This sermon walks through Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem (Matthew 21:1–11), highlighting how He moved ahead to provide for His disciples, revealing His identity as the long-awaited Messiah under immense pressure. It emphasizes the fulfillment of prophecy through His humble arrival on a donkey, contrasting worldly expectations of power with His mission to conquer sin and death. The sermon ca...

This sermon teaches that just as a loving parent pursues a child who wanders into danger, believers are called to lovingly pursue brothers and sisters in Christ who drift from the truth. It explains that spiritual wandering is usually a slow process rooted in unchecked desires, making it both dangerous and often unnoticed. Scripture calls the church to gently restore those caught in sin, not with...

James shows that faith is not passive but active through prayer. When believers face suffering or illness, they are called to seek God and call on the spiritual leaders of the church for prayer. The prayer of faith reflects trust in God’s power to heal and forgive. A praying church becomes a place where God’s grace and restoration are experienced. The Gathering Church is located in Midland, Texas....

This sermon teaches that people often add phrases like “I swear” or “I promise” because simple honesty has been weakened by broken promises and lack of integrity. Drawing from Epistle of James 5:12 and Gospel of Matthew 5:33–37, it explains that God calls believers to such deep integrity that a simple “yes” or “no” is trustworthy without extra oaths. The message warns that careless promises can sl...

Sunday's message centers on the reality of suffering and the tension between life’s “hurry up” seasons of blessing and its painful seasons of waiting. While we readily accept the good from God, we often resist the suffering that slows us down, exposes our weakness, and tests our faith. Drawing from James 5:7–11 and the perseverance of Job, the message calls believers to patient endurance, active t...

When asked, "Will you go to heaven when you die?" Most people will answer in the affirmative. But, when asked why they think so, they often say it is because they are a "good person," which begs the question, "But are you good enough?" The standard for goodness is found in both the Old and the New Testaments. God says, "Be holy because I am holy." This message explores both how far short of that s...

The sermon explains James 5:1–6 as a strong warning that misplaced trust in wealth leads to spiritual danger and coming judgment. The issue is not simply having money, but a heart that hoards, lives in self-indulgence, ignores injustice, and becomes numb to the needs of others. Christians are called to adopt an eternal perspective, remembering earthly possessions are temporary and to instead store...

This message explains that sin is not only the wrong things we do, but also the good things we fail to do when we know we should. Based on James 4:17, choosing silence, comfort, fear, or convenience instead of obedience can be a “sin of omission,” just as real as active wrongdoing. The story of the Good Samaritan shows that ignoring a need, even without harming anyone, is still disobedience to God...

This sermon confronts our tendency to plan confidently for tomorrow while forgetting our frailty and God’s sovereignty. Using James 4:13–16, it reveals how spiritual tunnel vision and pride lead us to trust our own understanding instead of humbly submitting our plans to the Lord. Scripture reminds us that life is a mist, and every intention we set should be held with the posture of “Lord willing.”...

This message explains that Scripture does not forbid all judgment, but condemns hypocritical, harsh, and slanderous judgment that elevates oneself above others and God’s law. While believers naturally make judgments and are called to exercise discernment—especially regarding doctrine, character, and restoring others caught in sin—this must be done with humility, wisdom, and love. James and Jesus w...

At the heart of this message lies a profound examination of humanity's oldest spiritual crisis: the erosion of trust in God's Word. We journey back to Genesis 3, where the serpent poses what may be history's first question—'Did God actually say?'—a query designed not to seek truth but to plant seeds of doubt. This ancient question reverberates through millennia, manifesting today in countless form...

This sermon teaches that fights and quarrels come not from others, but from disordered desires within our own hearts—desires driven by envy, pleasure, and pride rather than submission to God. When believers chase worldly satisfaction and ask God with selfish motives, they drift into spiritual adultery, becoming friends with the world and enemies of God, yet God still offers grace to the humble. Ja...
