Transformation Church Sermons

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...

We are all part of the multiethnic new covenant family of God, and we are sent out to worship Him, disciple others, and live on mission. Jesus made a way for us to be united to Him and has a redemptive purpose for our lives. Today, Pastor Derwin helps us discover that purpose through Hebrew chapter 4.

Hope has a name and it’s Jesus. When we experience tough times, we can run to the throne of King Jesus. There we will be met with a loving embrace because He has built a bridge for us to have direct access to God the Father. We can approach the throne with boldness, knowing that He sympathizes with our struggle. Join us on Sunday so you can be reminded of the great hope we have in Jesus.

We know that right now everyone is experiencing challenges. We are living through a year that no one could have predicted. Everywhere we turn, there is sickness, job loss, civil unrest, and more. In Hebrews, the writer tells his audience—many of whom were also experiencing unimaginable suffering—to remain intentional in their faith and not drift away. Family, we are called to do the same. Do not a...

In our second week of Back to School, we will explore why Jesus is better. The Christian life isn’t always easy. There will be times when we experience suffering and persecution for our faith. In these moments it’s tempting to go back to the way life used to be before we knew Christ. We think that life was somehow easier back then. The truth is, Jesus is better. We can rest assured that He is trus...

We talk about Jesus all the time, but was Jesus really God? How does that work? Is God one or is He three in one? Many people have questions about the Trinity and the deity of Jesus. While there is mystery surrounding the Trinity, the Bible is clear that Jesus is Yahweh. Pastor Derwin explains why we should believe that Jesus is God and how Scripture points to this amazing truth.

The book of Hebrews was written to a group of Jewish Christians who were experiencing persecution. The struggle was so intense that many were thinking of abandoning Christianity to go back to the way things used to be. The author, however, urges them to continue in the faith. He wants them to go back to school and remember who Jesus is and why He is worth following. Go Back to School with us as we...

The Bible talks quite a bit about slavery and women. In many biblical accounts, these groups of people were treated as second-class citizens. Does the Bible condone these behaviors? If so, how can we follow it? Pastor Derwin breaks down what the Bible really has to say about slavery and women in our next sermon of the God, Why? series.

Have you ever asked God, “Why?” Rather than ignore those questions, we want to invite you to explore the answers available to us. This week Pastor Derwin will guide us through the common question of hypocrites in the church.

It's one of the most asked questions in the religious space. If God is loving why is there evil and suffering in the world. Pastor Derwin answers this challenging question and gives us hope as we face these very difficult times.

Persecution is not something that we look forward to having to endure. Jesus, however, promised that we would experience persecution in this world. He also said, “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.” Can we really experience happiness in the midst of persecution? How is that possible? Could it be that persecution brings us closer to J...

As followers of Christ, we are called to be peacemakers in the world. When we were far from God, He reconciled us to Himself through His Son. As a result, we now have the ministry of reconciliation. We can be agents of love in our world, empowered by the Holy Spirit. Today Pastor Derwin shows us how we can live as peacemakers even when chaos surrounds us.

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. - Matthew 5:8. What does it mean to be pure in heart? And how do we do it? Pastor Derwin explains that as we pursue Christ and purity, we gain happiness.
