Mid City Church SermonCast

When life feels stuck and prayers seem to go nowhere, it's easy to wonder what God is up to. In Jesus' story of the Persistent Widow, we're reminded that God is on the move—and that our greatest purpose is to keep praying, hoping, and joining in God's work until all things are made right.

Is your Jesus big enough? We all long for answers, healing, and purpose in life (and there's nothing wrong with that). But the good news is far greater than personal peace or private inspiration — it's about God rescuing a broken humanity and creation! In the story of the 10 Lepers in Luke 17, ten people are healed, but only one realizes what's really happening and bows before Jesus. This sermon invites us to grow our vision of who Jesus is and to open our hearts to the incredibly good news that he really has come to save us.

Do you ever wonder how you'll keep going -- through personal challenges and the brokenness of the world? Our spiritual ancestors faced the same struggles and found an answer! This sermon explores Paul's call to “rejoice in hope, be patient in affliction, and persevere in prayer,” and shows how choosing hope is both defiance against darkness and walking in Jesus' better way.

We live in a world that tells us to make sure we're seen — prove your worth, demand attention, don't be overlooked! But is that really the path to a better life? In Romans 12, Paul points us to the value of humility — a Christ-shaped way of life that lifts others up while grounding us in the deep worth we already have in God.

Disagreement and tension are part of life, but hatred and division don't have to be. In this fourth sermon from the A Better Way series, we'll explore how the peace of Christ takes root in us and helps us bring healing to our homes, workplaces, and world.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the hurt and suffering in the world? Do you wonder, “What difference can I really make?” Do you ever just want to stick your head in the sand? Scripture reminds us that God's people are called to “rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep.” In a world where empathy is in decline, followers of Jesus are people who feel with others — and let that compassion move us to action. This sermon explores how empathy, grounded in Christ's transforming grace, guides us to live Jesus' better way more deeply.

We live in a world where basic human decency, moral courage, and empathy are under threat. So what are we to do? Jesus reveals a better way—one that rises above social pressure and self-interest, and is rooted in the very character of God. This sermon explores why moral goodness matters and how to live it out consistently—not to earn God's love, but as a joyful response to it.

Do you ever feel like you don't measure up—that you need to do more to be loved and accepted by God (or even yourself)? This sermon explores Paul's vision of the Christian life in Romans 12: a life not driven by fear or inadequacy, but grounded in the good news of God's love and grace in Jesus Christ.
