Jesus invites everyone to His table to experience true grace. This message explores the call of Matthew from the Gospel of Matthew, where Jesus dines with tax collectors and sinners. Through a story of a family Sunday lunch disrupted by spilled iced tea, Pastor Doug illustrates how love and mercy triumph over rigid expectations. God meets us in our messiness, offering forgiveness instead of judgment. Discover how to break free from the tight circles of guilt and embrace the vastness of God's unconditional love. Are you ready to leave your burdens behind and pull up a chair to this table? Join us to receive this invitation to personal transformation.

This message explores how the introduction of new roundabouts in a community offers a powerful metaphor for navigating Christian life and community. Drawing from Paul's letter to the Corinthians, Pastor Doug  highlights the importance of putting things in order, agreeing with one another, and living in peace. Discover how the principles of slowing down, yielding graciously, and trusting in grace can transform not only how we drive but also how we engage with others in faith. Learn why it's not about getting your own way, but about embracing the communion of the Holy Spirit.

Sermon from Trinity Methodist Church in Ruston, Louisiana Speaker: Rev. Doug de Graffenried Scripture: Romans 8:1-8 In Romans 8, Paul reminds us that freedom in Christ is not something we achieve, but something we receive. This sermon explores the difference between legalism and grace, between transactional religion and life in the Spirit, and what it means to truly live as people who have been set free. Because of Jesus, we are no longer defined by condemnation, shame, or performance, but by the unwavering love of God. — If you're new or watching with us for the first time, we'd love to connect: http://bit.ly/392sC6a Learn more about Trinity: https://www.trinityruston.org
