Epiphany Church Sermons

Public displays of affection can be endeavoring for some and off-putting for others. We tend to avoid people who seem too flamboyant or extra in their gestures of appreciation. This passage showcases a woman who drops everything she has to worship at the feet of Jesus. The surrounding crowd is offended by her grand gesture. The irony being is it if they truly recognized Jesus and who He really is, they wouldn't be judging her but joining her. This passage shows us that there are two types of people that worship God, people who do too much and others who do too little.

We live in a culture that hates waiting, but God often does His deepest work in the seasons we want to skip.

In this sermon, we're talking about the difference between trials and temptations — and why it matters. God uses trials to build us, but temptation comes when our own desires try to pull us away.

Life doesn't always make sense—and sometimes God seems silent when we need Him most.

If you're in a tough season, this message will help you lean on God even when it's hard.
