Wesley Church Podcast

This sermon connects the space-age hope of the 1960s, the promise of Isaiah 65, and Jesus' call in Mark 13 to remind us what Advent is truly about. We don't deny the brokenness around us—Advent teaches us to hope right through it, to live as if God's future is already breaking in. It all centers on one question: Do you see what I see?

This week, Pastor Greg preaches on Luke 21:5-19 and reminds us that Jesus asks for us is to be the presence that offers transformation for all the world. 

This week, Bishop Beard preaches on his new ministry "Catching Like Jesus" and reminds us that Jesus can catch fish anywhere.

Week 3: Re quire   Micah 6:8 - "He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."   The Book of  Micah  delivers a message of both judgment and hope. Micah confronts Israel and Judah for their injustice, idolatry, and exploitation of the vulnerable. He warns that their actions will lead to destruction...

Amos 9:11- "In that day I will restore David's fallen shelter—I will repair its broken walls and restore its ruins—and will rebuild it as it used to be."   Amos, a shepherd turned prophet, warns Israel of impending judgment due to their social injustice, idolatry, and neglect of the poor. He proclaims that God will not overlook their corruption and exploitation, and that destruction will come upon...

Have you experienced moments where you couldn't find the words to say - or pray?  Of course!  We all have!  In Luke 11, the disciples ask Jesus, "Lord, teach us to pray," not because they needed a script, but because they wanted what they saw in Him: intimacy, honesty, and trust. From asking God for answers to learning to walk with His presence, this message invites us to move from "God, give me…"...

What does it take to make you shout? This week, Bishop Beard leads us through Acts 3. The same as Peter helps the man up, it is our job as the church to do the same for those outside our walls. We must remember that as children of God, we have something to shout about. 

Anything you do, when you give it to God, is better than when you do it by yourself. It is what He wants and what He has designed. 

This week, Pastor Greg preaches on the Parable of the Good Samaritan. In this story we see that no one is beyond the need of the love of God. 

What do a stolen trash can, a dangerous desert road, and student ministry mission trips have in common? In this week's message from Luke 10, we explore how Jesus flips the question "Who is my neighbor?" into a call to costly, inconvenient, embodied love — the kind that crosses the road, breaks the rules, and reflects the mercy of the one true Good Samaritan. Sometimes, grace walks the bloody way…...

This week's message is about good intentions, abandoned mandolins, untested soil kits, and the many "but firsts" that get in the way of truly following Jesus.  We're looking at Luke 9:57–62, where Jesus meets a few fired-up followers who aren't quite ready to sign up for the cost of discipleship.  It's a reminder that enthusiasm is easy — but commitment? That's where faith gets real.

Who do you trust?  Whose voice do you listen to?  Do we cling to our own way?  Our own plan?  Our own understanding, or are we acknowledging God is all that we do so that our paths may be laid out better in front of us?  This is part 2 of our Summer Wisdom series this summer at Wesley!

Knowledge is good, but there is a vast difference between knowledge  and wisdom   We might amass all the knowledge we can cram into our brains, but without wisdom, our knowledge is useless. Where does real wisdom come from?  Where can we find it?  How do we obtain it?
