Vine Worship at Kingwood Methodist

In 1 Samuel 17, David doesn’t beat Goliath because he’s strong or smart or creative or lucky. David defeats Goliath because he remembers the ways God has rescued him in the past, and he trusts God to see him through the present. When we remember the stories of God’s faithfulness in our lives, we too can find the courageous faith to face our own giants.  If you prefer to listen, stream, and/or watc...

The next discipleship distinctive we look at is serving others. How do we process what Paul means in Romans when he says people will have the "gift of service." Is service for all? And in our modern day, wall to wall schedule, how can we serve God in our daily walk? Let's talk!

In Mark 10:32-45 Jesus tells his disciples that he is headed for the cross. If he’s headed for the cross, how are we supposed to follow him? Jesus gives us the key: the way to follow Jesus is to serve! If you prefer to listen, stream, and/or watch, join us and subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@kingwoodmethodist

One of the distinctives of our discipleship at KMC is giving generously. What does that mean? Are we still bound to a fixed "number" or tithe? What is the history behind that idea? And how can we honor God with our money? And a crucial update on the Watson family fantasy football league.  If you prefer to listen, stream, and/or watch, join us and subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@king...

As disciples of Jesus, we have received lavishly from the hands of a gracious God. When we offer our tithes and our gifts at the altar, our generosity participates in the generosity of God – and safeguards our hearts against the temptation toward the idolatry of seeking to secure our lives through wealth and other material means.

Today we talked about our KMC discipleship distinctive of "Believe in and study the Bible as the word of God." So. When I say "Go read your bible..." What comes to mind? Almost always we think of cracking open the Bible with a coffee, on a couch, ect. But what if it looked different? Can it look different? Email us your thoughts at Ryan.stueckemann@kingwoodmethodist.org . If you prefer to listen,...

As disciples of Jesus, we look to the Scriptures because we believe they faithfully witness to what God has done in the past, and we believe they are our best help to make us wise unto salvation. This week we look at a few things that the Bible is *not*, and we talk about what the Bible *is* and how we can encounter the Living God in its pages. If you prefer to listen, stream, and/or watch, join u...

As we continue to look at our discipleship distinctives, we discuss being people of Prayer and Worship. We generally understand corporate worship (worship where we gather, like a concert or church service), but what do we do with prayer and worship when we get home? How do we not get burdened or legalistic about prayer and worship, and how do we plow through periods of discouragement or boredom in...

As disciples of Jesus, we pray and worship individually and corporately, verbally and silently, and through feasting and fasting. The book of Psalms in the Bible helps us learn how to live our whole lives before God. Whether things are going great or not so great, we can bring it to God in prayer or in praise.

Today we're talking about pursuing holiness of heart and life, the third distinctive of KMC as a worshiping community. Holiness is weird. Its literal definition is "Set Apart," but that definition feels like it makes more sense"sense" when you talk about the OT nation of Israel. They were literally a set apart country and culture... So what do we do as NT believers that are integrated with believe...

If Jesus is really Lord over our lives and we trust the Holy Spirit, we will order our lives toward holiness: we will desire a life ‘set apart’ for the living God. This is the life of discipleship to Jesus. If you prefer to listen, stream, and/or watch, join us and subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@kingwoodmethodist

This week in our More To Life sermon series, we head to Galatians to talk about our "Trust The Holy Spirit" distinctive at KMC. We functionally know want it means to trust someone... But why don't we often feel like our trust in the spirit is being "returned?" And how scripturally does the spirit actually work in our life? As always if you have a question or an observation, email the team at Ryan....

Trusting the Holy Spirit means dying to self and being in step with the Holy Spirit. It is how we live our Jesus as Lord of our lives.  If you prefer to listen, stream, and/or watch, join us and subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@kingwoodmethodist

We're in a new sermon series studying the eight points of discipleship. First we have to claim that Jesus is Lord over our lives. Who is Lord over your life? How do we relinquish our own control and let God's authority reign? How does God being unseen in our lives make it more difficult to release our own control over our lives versus other authorities that we can see. Discipleship is a journey, n...

A disciple of Jesus is someone who professes Jesus Christ as the Lord above all powers, relationships, and even above self. When a person professes Jesus as Lord in this way, they become subject to God’s power to save, heal, and deliver them.

The parable of the Prodigal Son. You know it. You love it. But as we zoom out on this passage and others that we've preached though, it begs the question, Whose "program" are you really on? Has the way of the Kingdom really impacted the way you fully live the life you are given? Or are you just using parts of the kingdom for various types of gain? Email any questions to Ryan.stueckemann@kingwoodme...

God loves lost people. But even once we’ve been found, we can’t forget that fact, or else we risk missing the heart of our Heavenly Father.  If you prefer to listen, stream, and/or watch, join us and subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@kingwoodmethodist

In Luke 15 Jesus tells two different stories to help us understand that no matter how lost we are, God is coming after us.  If you prefer to listen, stream, and/or watch, join us and subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@kingwoodmethodist

Today we dive into the parable of the lost sheep and the lost coin. What does it mean to be lost? What does it mean to be found? How do we process the fact that we profess faith in Christ, but also still have a lot of lost-ness and baggage in our lives? And Ryan asks the team the hard question... Do you want a boat? As always, if you have a question, email the team at Ryan.stueckemann@kingwoodmeth...

As we continue in the Parables, we look at the crazy amazing lengths God will go to find us, redeem us, and offer us salvation by His blood and His grace!  If you prefer to listen, stream, and/or watch, join us and subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@kingwoodmethodist

This week the team reacts to the ministry of Flipt, our yearly junior high missions camp. We testify to what we've seen, and talk about what it means for us as a church. Then, Ryan asks Chris and Kimberly about raising kids to love Jesus!

How do we interoperate the Bible? Torah interpretation and practical implementation  was a HUGE theme and debate in Jesus' ministry, and it feels even more important today than it was before! What are the walls and boundaries we put around interpreting God's word? As always if you have a comment or question, email the team at Ryan.stueckemann@kingwoodmethodist.org If you prefer to listen, stream,...

Today we continue to talk through our parables series, and then Ryan opens up about the inspiration behind this Sunday devotional in worship about Why do we sing? Why is it important for us to sing when we gather? And why do we sing in the first place!? If you have any questions or comments for the team, email Ryan at Ryan.stueckemann@kingwoodmethodist.org If you prefer to listen, stream, and/or w...

In Matthew 13 Jesus shows us that if we want to be a part of the big things God is doing in the world, then we have to submit to the small ways that God ordinarily works. If you prefer to listen, stream, and/or watch, join us and subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@kingwoodmethodist
