This Lent sermon from John 2:1–11 explores Jesus’ first miracle at the Wedding at Cana and what it reveals about embodied Christian joy.
 
In Jesus’ first miracle at the wedding in Cana—turning water into wine—we see more than a sign of divine power. We see a Savior who enters fully into human life, celebration, need, and abundance. What does this first sign reveal about the kingdom of God? And what does embodied joy look like in our own lives as we begin the Lenten season?

Join us as we reflect on Christ’s presence in both the ordinary and the sacred—and discover a joy that fills us wholly.

Come Down From the Mountain – February 15, 2026
Rev. Carrie Veal

What happens after a mountaintop moment with God? In this message, “Come Down From the Mountain,” Rev. Carrie Veal reflects on Matthew 17:1–9 and the story of the Transfiguration, exploring what it means to encounter God’s glory and then return to everyday life with renewed purpose.

This sermon invites us to consider how powerful spiritual experiences shape the way we live, serve, and follow Christ beyond the extraordinary moments. How do we carry the light of the mountaintop into the valleys of daily life?

Join us as we reflect on listening to Jesus, trusting God’s presence, and faithfully walking the path set before us.

Scripture: Matthew 17:1–9

Title: The Wisdom of the Leader
Speaker: Rev. Carrie Veal
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:1–12

In this episode, Rev. Carrie Veal explores The Wisdom of the Leader, reflecting on 1 Corinthians 2:1–12 and the difference between human wisdom and God’s wisdom. This message invites us to consider how faithful leadership is shaped not by eloquence or status, but by humility and reliance on the Spirit.

Through Paul’s words, we are reminded that true spiritual wisdom is revealed by God and lived out in service to others. Whether you are leading in your church, family, workplace, or community, this message offers encouragement to trust in God’s guidance rather than your own strength.

Listen and be inspired to lead with faith, humility, and Spirit-filled wisdom.

 This week at Second B, special guest proclaimer and member Kerry Campbell asks an honest and timely question: Are We Lovable?
Join us as he reflects on John 7:53–8:11 and the grace-filled love of Christ that meets us right where we are. 

As snow blankets this Sunday morning, Rev. Carrie Veal comes to us online with a Sunday Morning Devotional, sharing a message from 1 Corinthians 1:10. 

This week, Second Baptist Church’s Senior Pastor, Rev. Carrie Veal, explores 1 Corinthians 1:1–19, inviting us to reflect on an important question: What if we used our God-given gifts and our imagination to make Jesus the center of our universe—rather than fighting, complaining, and judging one another?

On this Baptism of the Lord Sunday, Rev. Carrie Veal proclaims “It’s All Greek to Me…Until It Isn’t,” reflecting on Matthew 3:13–17. Through this passage, she explores how unfamiliar language, culture, and ideas can initially distance us from the Gospel—until God breaks through with clarity, grace, and belovedness. Jesus’ baptism reveals not only who he is, but who we are in God’s sight: named, claimed, and called beloved. 

 In this brand-new year of 2026, we begin our journey together with Rev. Carrie Veal, who invites us into Stars and Words and Journeys, Oh My! Drawing from the Gospel of Matthew, she guides us through a story of faith, movement, and divine direction—reminding us that God still meets us on the road. 

Join Second B during our special Christmas Eve service as we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

This week, Second B Senior Pastor Rev. Carrie Veal explores the question; Do You See What I See? as she covers Luke 1:39-58.
