Hyde Wesleyan Weekly Sermon Audio

Life doesn't always go according to plan. Between troubling headlines, unexpected diagnoses, and unanswered prayers, how can we give thanks when so much remains unresolved?

In this message from 1 Corinthians 11:23–26, Pastor Stevan reminds us that Jesus gave thanks on the very night He was betrayed. As we gather around the Lord's Table, we're reminded that God's faithfulness doesn't depend on our circumstances, His grace meets us in the middle of our unfinished stories, and His promise to return gives us hope for whatever comes next.

God is faithful, and we can trust Him with what we cannot control.

We can't be everywhere or meet every need, but through partnership, we can participate in what God is doing around the world. As we conclude our Partners series, Pastor Stevan explores Philippians 4:10–20 and reminds us that faithful generosity produces fruit beyond what we can see. Through Faith Promise, we're invited to give prayerfully, trust God's provision, and join His mission, giving Him all the glory.

The gospel doesn't stop when circumstances get difficult, and God's work doesn't depend on us receiving the credit. Continuing our PARTNERS series, Pastor Stevan explores Philippians 1 and 4, reminding us that the good news of Jesus keeps moving through faithful people, generous hearts, and partnerships that reach far beyond our own community. God is working, Jesus gets the glory, and we get to participate!

In “Better Together,” the opening message of the Partners series, Pastor Stevan explores Philippians 1:3–6 and God’s invitation to share in spreading the gospel. Through prayer, service, and generous giving, we participate in God’s mission because we are already partners in his work.

Pastor Stevan concludes the Rhythms series with “Rhythm of Worship,” exploring Romans 12:1–2 and the invitation to offer our whole lives to God in response to His grace. Worship reaches beyond Sunday’s songs into everyday surrender, allowing God to renew our minds and make us more like Jesus.

Pastor Stevan continues the Rhythms series by exploring God’s invitation to stop, trust, and receive rest as a gift rather than something we have to earn. From creation to God’s provision of manna and Jesus’ teaching on Sabbath, we discover that rest is part of God’s original design, an act of trust, and a reminder that God is God and we are not.

In Week 5 of Rhythms, “Rhythm of Community,” Pastor Angel reminds us that following Jesus is personal, but we were never meant to do it alone. Through Hebrews 10:19–25 and the friends who carried a paralyzed man to Jesus in Luke 5:17–20, she invites us to share one another’s burdens, make room for others, and keep pointing each other to Jesus.

In Week 4 of Rhythms, Pastor Stevan explores the rhythm of Scripture through 2 Timothy 3:14–17, reminding us that we’re not studying for a test—we’re being formed for life. Discover how regularly engaging God’s Word helps us recognize the Father’s voice, allows Scripture to form rather than simply inform us, and encourages us to find a sustainable rhythm of opening, listening, responding, and returning.

In Week 3 of Rhythms, “Rhythm of Repentance,” Pastor Stevan explores Jesus’ story of the prodigal son in Luke 15 to show that repentance is more than guilt or regret—it’s a change of mind that leads to a change of direction. Through the rhythm of recognizing where the Holy Spirit is calling for change, turning back to the Father, and receiving the grace already waiting for us, we learn to live more closely with Jesus.

In 'A Rhythm of Prayer', Pastor Stevan explores Jesus’ teaching in Luke 11, reminding us that prayer isn’t just an emergency response but a daily rhythm of relationship with our Heavenly Father. Prayer draws us into relationship, realigns our hearts with God’s kingdom and will, and invites us to keep returning to our good Father by asking, seeking, and knocking.
