Transformation Church Sermons

We're continuing our Refuse series, and Pastor Derwin brings a message on refusing to let your witness die. In difficult seasons and unfortunate circumstances, we can hold onto our witness, maintain our integrity, and rest in the joy and presence of the Lord.

Pastor Derwin continues our Refuse sermon series with a message on refusing to let our circumstances determine our worship. When our circumstances are difficult or overwhelming, we may feel tempted to focus on our problems. However, there is a better way to live. As we see in the life of Joseph, we can remain faithful to God in the midst of hardship.

This weekend, Pastor Derwin continues our Refuse sermon series with a message on refusing to let betrayal destroy us. Like Joseph in the book of Genesis and Jesus, we will likely experience betrayal on this side of heaven. Because of Christ, we no longer have to be in bondage to betrayal, nor let it define our story.

Pastor Derwin continues our Refuse sermon series with a message on refusing to flaunt our gifts. When we are more concerned with becoming more like Jesus than we are concerned with developing our gifts, Christ is rightfully exalted. As we walk humbly with Him, we can learn to put down our pride and pick up our cross.

We're kicking off our Refuse sermon series! Pastor Derwin preaches an important sermon on refusing to let family dysfunction control us. Because of the completed work of the cross, we no longer have to be in bondage to familial sin.

Jonathan Hetterly, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, brings a message on overcoming addiction through Christ. Addiction is destructive and devastating, but we are met with hope. We can break the vicious cycle of addiction through abiding in Christ and remembering the redemptive work of the cross.

Pastor Derwin continues our Beneath the Surface series with a message on anger. If anger is not righteous, it causes us to do unrighteous things. When we look to Jesus, we can learn to overcome anger.

Pastor Derwin continues our Beneath the Surface series with a message on the weighty topic of sexual brokenness. Sex can be a taboo subject in the church world, but sex is actually a gift from God. However, sexual brokenness is an unfortunate reality on this side of heaven. How do we find healing from this brokenness? The answer is in Jesus.

Pastor Derwin continues our Beneath the Surface series with a message on greed. It's not a bad thing when we want our needs to be met, but it can become an idol when we value earthly things over Christ. When we shift our mindset from worry to worship, we become rich in Him.

This weekend, Pastor Derwin and Vicki Gray are unpacking the topic of “workaholism” as we continue our Beneath the Surface series. Hard work is a gift from God but can be dangerous when it becomes a god. How can we shift our mindset and allow work to become worship? As we press into Christ, we can work for the Lord instead of working for ourselves.

This weekend, we’re continuing our Beneath the Surface series with a message from Pastor Derwin on people-pleasing. It may be tempting to constantly try to please those around us, but people-pleasing can never provide our heart's satisfaction. When we rest in Christ, we are met and sustained by His unfailing love.

Pastor Derwin brings a message on misdirected ambition. Ambition is a gift when it it's Jesus-centered, but what happens when it isn't? In this sermon, we unpack the dangerous idolatry of ambition and how we can topple this idol with the Spirit's power.

Pastor Derwin Gray brings a message on how King Jesus is the rule-breaking King. Following Jesus will often mean deviating from the norm and behaving counter-culturally. Jesus is not hindered by ethnic, gender, or class barriers, and He invites us to embody His mission as we follow Him.

Pastor Derwin Gray brings a message on how King Jesus befriends the friendless and cares for outcasts and sinners. In His kindness, Jesus invites the unqualified to live on mission with Him and embody His Kingdom.

Pastor Derwin Gray brings a message on Jesus' role as the rejected King. Jesus was refused by the people whom He came to save, but because of the rejection He experienced, we can be accepted as children of God.

Pastor Derwin Gray begins our new series, A Paradox of Hope, with a message on Jesus' paradoxical roles as both servant and king. Through Christ, we are invited to participate in His Kingdom with humility as we follow His example.

Pastor Brady Boyd brings us a message on the power of our words. In a world in which people are often reckless with words, we are reminded that our words hold power to bring life or death.

Pastor Derwin continues our Family Matters series with a message on how love lives. In Romans 12:18, we are taught that, through the Spirit’s power, we can live at peace with those around us. As a part of the family of God, we are called to pursue peace and show love to our brothers and sisters.

Dr. Chris McCarthy continues our Family Matters series as we learn that love shares. Dr. McCarthy discusses our response to crisis as Christians and how we can love others in the midst of stress. As we love others during hard times, we show them God's love for His family.

Pastor Derwin is back and continuing our Family Matters series! He is walking through how love considers others because Jesus and His Kingdom are above all. Through Christ, we should consider people more than we consider power, possessions, or position.

We are joined by ministry leader and author Beth Moore as she shares with us how faith works through love. We live and walk by faith, but we are also invited to love by faith. Galatians 5:1-6 reminds us, through the Spirit's power, we can learn to express our faith through the way we love others.

This week we are joined by Bible teacher and bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst, as she walks us through forgiveness. Often, we hesitate to give forgiveness because it feels unfair to let someone off the hook. As we remember that forgiveness flows from God first, we can learn to forgive others and find freedom.

During our first week of Family Matters, Pastor Derwin will be teaching us that love serves. Scripture reminds us that we can love others by pursuing a posture of humility and representing the servanthood of God. How do we love people and serve them faithfully? Join us as we walk through this message.

In our final week of Back to School, Pastor Derwin will finish preaching through the book of Hebrews. Throughout the series, we’ve seen how, even during difficult circumstances, Jesus is better than anything the world promises. When chaos surrounds us, we can fix our eyes on the cross. On Sunday, we will focus on Hebrews 13:1-7. In these verses, we see what real love looks like. Join us as we wrap...

You’re probably experiencing hardship right now. You might even feel like you’re drowning. The world feels heavy as you navigate difficult decisions daily. Maybe you’re looking for a quick fix to make your troubles go away. You want some relief, and you want it now. As we’ve been studying the book of Hebrews, we’re reminded that instead of fixing our problems, God will often fix our eyes on Christ...
