Then/Now: 'Who Is Jesus (And What Does That Mean To Me)?' - Ken Coneby 14.01.2018 20:01

A chance encounter with a homeless man in the rain leads Ken down a surprising path towards understanding who Jesus is. Then, he considers the story of Jesus calming the storm from the disciples' perspective, and asks the question they must have faced: are we willing to follow Jesus and learn more about him, even when that information contradicts who we thought he was?

Then/Now: 'Who Is Jesus (And What Does It Mean To Follow Him)?' - Kaitlyn Bowie Hankins 14.01.2018 36:25

Where does your attention lie in 2018? Kaitlyn looks at where we're looking in our day-to-day lives, and what that means for who we are and what we're committed to. FMHouston.com

Then and Now: 'Your God Is Too Small' - Andy Nixon 07.01.2018 36:43

A guest sermon from our Head Pastor to lay out the year, Andy talks about the history of the church, having a lack of vision, and looks ahead to the big things God is calling us to in the coming year. fmhouston.com

'New Year, Same God' - Ken Coneby 31.12.2017 23:46

Ken looks at the story of Simeon meeting baby Jesus in Luke 2:22-40 and breaks down the story from 3 perspectives. How Simeon saw God as a cosmic God playing out a play for creation before and beyond his lifetime, how he saw God as someone who cares for each one of us and invites us to participate with him through the Holy Spirit, and how God’s heart was with the poor and unseen. Ken also shares s...

'What Holds Your Focus?' - Kaitlyn Bowie Hankins 25.12.2017 15:22

Kaitlyn explores the story of Christ's birth from a perspective we don't talk much about on Christmas Eve – Joseph, and the struggles he must have had. Joseph lived an interrupted life – what does it look like for us if God calls us to do the same?

Identity: 'If you want to actually DO the things that Jesus DID...' - Andy Nixon 18.12.2017 29:46

Andy has to reintroduce himself to the Vine, since he hasn't been able to preach there for quite some time. But he's immediately off and running with stories of Christmas chicken and waffles, sparking microwaves that refuse to be healed, and a very specific bit of preaching he picked up from the head of Houston homicide. Before he relays the gospels through the real story of St. Nicholas (really!)...

Identity: 'Haters Gonna Hate' - Anthony Rogers 17.12.2017 24:04

Anthony extolls the holiness of Christmas Jack-in-the-Box before promising a sermon that uses the word "hope" at least 95 times (we didn't count, but we think he got there). fmhouston.com

Identity: 'Therefore...' - Kaitlyn Bowie 10.12.2017 38:30

Kaitlyn takes a break from "Identity" to talk about the massive changes coming in 2018 for The Source community. But it would be Kaitlyn if she didn't start off with some Biblical study, so we kick things off with Romans 12 - "conforming" versus "transforming," and what it means to "renew our minds." Then she dives into the struggles that have got us to this place – and a lot of the questions she...

Identity: 'Upside Down and Topsy Turvy' - Brandi Horton 10.12.2017 22:21

Brandi explores how ridiculous and laughable the Kingdom of God really is. She bounces from unlikely pregnancies, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, a story of white flour, and a runaway bunny. It's all tied together by Mary's Song - The Magnificat - and the Kingdom of God it announces. The low are lifted up, the rich sent away empty, the hungry are filled with good things. Plus, what it looks like when...

Identity: 'The Kind of Connections Christ Looked For' – Kaitlyn Bowie 03.12.2017 33:30

NOTE: This sermon has had a testimony video concerning adopting refugee families for Christmas that needed to be cut out for clarity, since part of the video was in Arabic. The full video is available on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/NsZNWEa8fb4 In order to talk about peace, Kaitlyn breaks down two big questions: How is Jesus connected to others? How are we connected to others, too? That b...

Identity: 'Connection' – Ken Coneby 03.12.2017 20:26

Identity: 'Hope – Brandi Horton 26.11.2017 20:16

Brandi starts off by wishing everyone a Happy New Year (trust us, it totally makes sense) and cops to her love of the liturgical calendar. Then, she kicks off Advent by talking about kinship, relationship, and the answer to shame. http://thesourcehouston.org/

Identity: 'Hope' – Ken Coneby 26.11.2017 23:36

Equation: "Experience" - Ken Coneby 12.11.2017 21:56

Equation: "Experience" - Kaitlyn Bowie 12.11.2017 34:40

This week we continue with our series Equation where we've been learning about the Wesleyan Quadrilateral, a helpful framework for making wise decisions. This week Pastor Kaitlyn digs into the fourth component: experience. How can we learn through our meaningful experiences with the Holy Spirit as we follow Christ forward?
