Gathered, gifted, and sent — this sermon on Matthew 10:1–8 invites us to see ourselves in the ordinary disciples whom Jesus calls, authorizes, and sends with good news. Through vivid stories and rich reflection, it explores how Christ shines through our cracks, seeks the lost with a shepherd’s compassion, and gives a kingdom that can never be bought or sold. Come be reminded that you have received mercy without price — and are sent to share it just as freely.
This sermon explores Jesus’ parable of the dishonest manager in Luke 16:1–13 to expose the illusion of human authority and the temporary nature of earthly power. It shows how all resources, opportunities, and influence are entrusted to us by God and are meant to be used as acts of worship, not self-advancement. Emphasizing faithful stewardship, undivided allegiance to God, and wise investment in what is eternal, the message calls hearers to examine their loyalties, repent of idolatry, and live every day for the glory of Christ and the advance of His kingdom.
What does it truly cost to follow Jesus? Drawing from Luke 14:25–33 and the riches of Reformed theology, this sermon explores the radical call of Christ to wholehearted discipleship. With vivid imagery, biblical depth, and pastoral challenge, it invites believers to examine their loyalties, count the cost, and discover that compared to the surpassing worth of knowing Christ, all else is loss. Come be reminded that the surrender Christ demands is sustained only by the grace He freely gives.
