Epiphany Church Sermons

This passage shows three different angles of vision on how lost people matter to God. A couple of weeks ago, we discovered that the prodigal son wanders away from the father due to a lack of reverence. However, the beginning of the chapter shows other reasons people get lost: a sheep wanders out of ignorance, and a coin is lost out of negligence. Regardless of the reason, this entire passage reflects God’s immeasurable love for sinners. As we begin the Homecoming season, it is fitting to remind ourselves that no matter how you get lost, God is determined for you to be found. When sinners are finally found, the saints should have only one response.

Our church has been in a season of spiritual maturity for the past year. While we've discussed maturity, it's important to address the cost of our immaturity. Within this passage, the author teaches that immaturity affects not only your behavior but also your capacity. Many of us have been asking God for more blessings, more revelation, and more resources, but our maturity in the faith affects what the Lord is able to give. Holding on to what once was limits us from what could be. This sermon explores the obstacles to our maturity and the source of our growth.

Your Story Matters | Pastor Lionel King | 26.08.30 by Epiphany Church Brooklyn

When Peter asked Jesus how many times he really had to forgive, he thought he was being generous. Jesus answered with a number so high it was never meant to be counted: seventy times seven. In this message, we sit with a servant who got millions wiped and still choked a man over what is comparably pocket change, and we come face to face with a mercy that refuses to keep score. Because if God counted the way we count, we all would be doomed.

Romans 5:1-5

Hope is a fundamental aspect of the human experience. Generally, we place our hope in things that we want to enjoy in the future but can’t fully experience in the present. But the guaranteed, eternal hope that Jesus secured for those who believe in His finished work on the cross has both present and future benefits. In this sermon, we’ll explore how God helps followers of Jesus to remain hopeful through all seasons of life.

The richest men on earth are racing to build a mind greater than man's, and every new press release makes the fear feel more real: the layoffs, the shrinking paychecks, the quiet dread that you're replaceable, till everybody's asking the same thing folks been asking since the beginning: who am I? So we're taking it back, back to the greatest press release ever dropped, back to what it means to carry the image and likeness of God. Genesis 1 reminds us our worth was settled before we ever did a single thing! So let God remind you who you are in Christ.

Primary Scripture(s) (NKJV): Genesis 1:1-3; Genesis 1:26-31; Genesis 11:1-9; Colossians 1:16

We all have categories, assumptions, and labels for "those people." But what if the gospel sees people differently? Join us as we explore Acts 16:9–34 and discover the surprising reach of God's grace.

Exodus 17:8–12 and Exodus 18:1–11a, 13–26

God never intended for His mission to be carried by a select few. In this Vision Sunday message from Exodus 17–18, we’ll look at the kind of church God is calling us to become and what it means for each of us to have a part.

Waiting can be one of the hardest parts of following God. This Sunday we'll see how God shapes us in the waiting and why His timing is always better than the shortcuts we're tempted to take.
