Multination Church Frankfurt

Speaker: Pastor Mason Smith of Multination Church Frankfurt Picture this scene on a Sunday morning as two worshippers are rushing into the sanctuary a few minutes late: “Hi John.” “Hi Tom.” “How ya doing?” “Good. You?” “Fine. Good to see ya!” “Yeah, you too. Let’s catch up sometime.” Spoiler alert, they never do catch up sometime.  Christ centered relationships have got to go deeper than this! Rea...

Speaker: Pastor Mason Smith of Multination Church Frankfurt “Stepping Up” Today’s 24Hour Prayer Vigil is a strong reminder to re-prioritize prayer in our daily lives. In prayer we reach up to God for His help and transformative power. In the end, prayer does not change God, it changes us. It is not about us getting everything we want. It is about humbling ourselves before Him, seeking to be transf...

Speaker: Pastor Mason Smith of Multination Church Frankfurt “Stepping In” Sometimes we are so focused on everything going on around us we fail to stop and reflect on what might be going on inside of our own hearts. How much of a part do self-reflection and self-examination play in our daily lives?  Stepping In is all about pausing long enough to honestly evaluate our lives in light of God’s word i...

Speaker: Pastor Mason Smith of Multination Church Frankfurt Today we celebrate The Lord’s Supper. Communion is a forced pause to rest in Christ’s finished work. We come to the banquet table of a victory won by a God who lifts our burdens and brings rest to our souls.  But slowing down is hard for us. We are busy people: overworked, overcommitted, and overburdented. Is this killing your intimacy wi...

Speaker: Pastor Mason Smith of Multination Church Frankfurt Today our focus is on the question of where we should worship. Our ultimate act of worship does not end when the closing benediction is spoken and our pastor says, “Go in Peace”. It continues throughout our daily life in obedience, work, and relationships. Everyday can be lived like Sunday, even as Sunday redefines how every day can be li...

Speaker: Pastor Mason Smith of Multination Church Frankfurt The Ascension, when Christ rose into Heaven where he is seated at the right hand of the Father in glory, was a mystical and amazing moment in history. But, what does it have to do with us today?  In this sermon we learn that because Jesus is living within us we now have access to that same power, glory, and strength to see us through even...

Speaker: Pastor Mason Smith of Multination Church Frankfurt Today, as we pause to celebrate the Lord’s Supper, let us also take care to remember why we have this meal. Let us remember the price Jesus paid to reveal God’s love. And, let us remember our own sins as we confess them to the Lord. Yes, friends, let us REMEMBER

Speaker: Pastor Mason Smith of Multination Church Frankfurt We’ve all made mistakes. We’ve all failed to follow through on promises to God. We’ve all fallen short of our commitments to Christ. Even the great Peter, of whom Jesus said, “You are the rock upon whom I will build my Church,” denied Jesus and failed at Jesus’ most crucial hour.  But failure is not the end of Peter’s story, nor ours! Jes...

Speaker: Pastor Mason Smith of Multination Church Frankfurt Do you ever question your faith? Maybe you judge yourself against the deeper faith of others? Have questions, doubts, fears, or uncertainty about Jesus? I have news for you. You are not alone! In this sermon we will look at the experiences of “Doubting Thomas,” exploring how Jesus meets our questions and fears with grace and evidence, inv...

Speaker: Pastor Mason Smith of Multination Church Frankfurt Along life’s journeys there will be ups and downs. It is often easier for us to recognize Jesus in the good times and when life is easy. Yet, if we have eyes to see, we will be able to recognize him in the moments of despair as well. In these journey moments, Jesus meets us where we are to open our eyes and bring us hope and motivation.

Speaker: Pastor Mason Smith of Multination Church Frankfurt Many people find it hard to recognize Jesus today, much less believe in him or put their trust in him. Everything from science to social media seems to sway us away from seeing Him as anything real and present in our world–much less alive.  Yet, at some point in your life Jesus called to you. If not already, he will. That time is coming s...

Speaker: Pastor Mason Smith of Multination Church Frankfurt Do you ever feel like a failure? Do you ever feel like everything you are trying to do is for the glory of the Lord, yet nothing seems to be going the way you planned? Well, imagine how Jeus felt upon the cross! It was not a moment that looked anything at all like success or victory.  Yet, at the end of his life, with his final words and...

Speaker: Pastor Mason Smith of Multination Church Frankfurt On the cross Jesus faces his darkest moment, even as he also faces the full weight of his purpose and destiny. Would we be able to remain faithful and determined in such a moment?  The truth is that Jesus promised us that if we take up our cross and follow him, there will be suffering and sacrifice. However, even in our sufferings for Jes...

Speaker: Pastor Mason Smith of Multination Church Frankfurt “Hey brother.” “Hi sister.” Ever hear Christians talking to each other like that and wonder what it’s all about? Maybe you even thought it was a little weird!  The truth of the matter is, however, we indeed ARE family! As believers in Christ we belong to the family of God. This means that in the church we find our spiritual mothers and fa...

Speaker: Pastor Mason Smith of Multination Church Frankfurt Chances are, if we are honest, we have a “Jesus and” understanding of the gospel. We have it in our minds that to be saved one must come forward at the end of a worship service, shake the preacher’s hand, pray a formalized and authorized sinner’s prayer (the “repeat after me” kind of prayer), take a new believer's class on baptism, th...

Speaker: Pastor Mason Smith of Multination Church Frankfurt “Be My Valentine?"  The 14th of February is a day that candy stores, florists, and card companies all truly LOVE! Even here in Germany this red and pink holliday is growing in popularity as an expression of romance, an excuse to ask someone on a date, and as a way to guilt your beloved into buying you flowers!  But is that what Saint...

Speaker: Pastor Mason Smith of Multination Church Frankfurt

Speaker: Pastor Mason Smith of Multination Church Frankfurt We sing a lot of songs about loving Jesus. But do we? Do we really have him at the center of our hearts? Today we will wrestle with these questions as we consider the challenge to truly loving Jesus. We will also try to gain a better understanding of that famous phrase, “Give Your Heart To Jesus,” as we ask, “What does that even mean?!”

Speaker: Pastor Mason Smith of Multination Church Frankfurt It’s Time To Return 👏 We often think of the prodigal son parable in Luke’s gospel as being about absolute abandonment, of someone completely running away from God. So, perhaps some find it hard to connect with such an extreme example of running from God. 🏃‍♂️ In truth, however, most of us are casually prodigal every day. We have not com...
