God's presence and power have no boundaries. God's presence and power transgress old divisions in surprising and even terrifying ways for those who love God. God's Spirit moves us in love to discern this presence and power even in the most unlikely places. Let us be led by love into new creation today.

Preached by Jay Francoeur

In a world where we’re taught to hustle & scheme to get what we want, the good news is that God's powerful love meets us in our wants and delivers us from using others and using God. Receive the Spirit, with all the belonging, significance & security that comes with him, so that you can learn to trust God & others with your needs today.

The introduction is missing from this episode. The passage being discussed is Acts 6:1-7.....

Jesus is the pioneer and the savior. He’s Lord. His power at the right hand of the Father is used to GIVE repentance & forgiveness. And we participate in this life as we Gospel with the apostles: As we announce/witness that Jesus is the pioneer & savior of the whole world. This is a gift to us. Where can you wake up to this gift today? Where are you being invited to receive the gift of life from the leader and savior of the whole world?

God is present and at work in our world. He's given us the gift on prayer to open us up to his compassion and authority, to participate in the healing, justice, and deliverance of the world.

Sermon by Jay Francoeur.

God's Spirit is generously given to us so that we might SEE the beautiful work he's ready to do all around us. Jesus is ready to give rest to the weary, inclusion to the outcast, dignity to those burdened by shame. Surprise Church, you already have all that you need to respond to the needy in your path. Open your eyes, look and be led by God's Spirit today.

Preached by Jay Francoeur

The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the event that reveals to us both the HORROR of what we've done to the world, to each other, and to ourselves, and at the same time, reveals the depths of God's love for us and the potency of God's power to save us. Beloved, we are more broken than we imagine and we are more loved than we can fathom. Let’s behold our crucified and risen LORD and Messiah & leave our generation’s corruption behind.

Preached by Jay Francoeur

The Holy Spirit has come! In Jesus, God eternally entered into our experience, empathizing with all of our brokenness, sin and shame – Meeting us where we most need his presence and power. Now, through the Spirit, this same God shares the power of presence with us. Just as he came to be with us in Solidarity, Empathy, Harmony, Oneness, LOVE – He now sends us out to do the same for others in supernaturally ordinary ways. Today, be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Preached by Jay Francoeur

Jesus is Lord right now over the whole cosmos. He rules by sharing his powerful presence with us, His body the church, authorizing us to bear witness to his lordship in every place where his lordship has not yet fully been manifested. Friends, this Jesus meets us in our misconceptions to teach us how to trust him with how he is really present and at work.

Mother's Day 2023 - Since the very beginning women have been leading the church, proclaiming good news, even pastoring and prophesying in the presence of powerful men.  The good news is that God's Spirit isn't sequestered into just 1 gender. God's authority is given to EVERYONE among us. Let us give thanks for women in our midst today.
