This sermon was preached by Kyle Fitzgerald on 7/19/2026. We are a confessional church based on the London Baptist Confessional 1689 whose ultimate authority is God's Word. Bible Alone, Grace Alone, Faith Alone, Christ Alone, to the Glory of God Alone.

The best part of church happens when we gather together! The Christian life was never meant to be lived alone. Through Christ's death and resurrection, he has brought us near to God, and now as he gathers us together, we must help encourage one another to endure as the day of his glorious return approaches!
In today's teaching from Exodus 15, we walk through the first song recorded in Scripture. Before God gave Israel the 10 commandments or led them into the Promised Land, He gave them a new refrain: "The Lord is my strength, my song, and has become my salvation." The song of Moses reminds us that worship isn't just expressing what we feel it's rehearsing what is true. God replaces the songs that our past, our culture, and the enemy sings over us, by becoming our strength, our song, and salvation. Like every story in Exodus it points us to Jesus, the greater Deliverer who leads us into His healing. Come and Seek the Lord With Us www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit
A church cannot be healthy without sound doctrine! Church unity and Christ-like love are dependent on it, and the church is protected by the dangers of false teachers by holding fast to the truth of scripture. We must never separate what God has joined together – biblical love flows from biblical truth. There is joy to be had by those who have built the foundation of their faith on the sound doctrine of God's word.
In today's teaching from Exodus 12, guest speaker Josh Gardner walks us through how Passover is not only about Israel's rescue from Egypt, but points us to Jesus and the greater Passover.. In Exodus the blood of the spotless lamb was the sign of God's mercy, foreshadowing Jesus, the true Lamb of God, whose sacrifice delivers us from sin and death. The invitation of the gospel isn't to trust in our own strength, but to trust in sufficiency of Christ. Josh closed the sermon by invited us to examine in our hearts if our lives are marked it's marked by gratitude and worship. One of the ways we can practice cultivating this is by being a community of believers who encourage one another to practice daily gospel rhythms that keep our hearts anchored in Christ, who has rescued us. Come and Seek the Lord with Us www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit
The Lord's Table is a vital part of the life and worship of a healthy church. It is at the Lord's Table, that Christ's church gathers to remember Christ's sacrifice, proclaim his saving death, and anticipate his coming kingdom. Therefore, we should receive the bread and cup with sincere hearts and deep gratitude for all that Christ has done! The Lord's Supper is not a funeral for a defeated Savior. It is a covenant meal prepared for us by our Risen King!
In today's teaching text from Exodus 7:1-7, Pastor Benjer walks us through the first nine plagues and reminds us that beneath every act of judgment is the heart of a God who is pursuing His people. The Lord reveals Himself as the One who cannot be ignored, the One who draws near and calls a people His own, and reveals there is none like Him. Every false king, every competing allegiance, and every idol eventually will fail to deliver, but the Lord invites us to lay down our own rule and surrender to His. Often in our lives, what feels like disruption is, in reality, God's mercy awakening us to the freedom, life, and rest that can only be found under the loving reign of Christ. www.flourishinggrace.org.

What does it look like to be a member of Christ's church? What are the benefits of church membership? How does church membership relate to faithful discipleship? In his message, “The Keys & The Kingdom” centered on Matthew 16:13-19, Pastor Alex answers these questions and more as he shares how Christ has given the Keys of the Kingdom to His church.
What does God do with a broken spirit? As we make our way through the book of Exodus this summer, Pastor Benjer walks us through chapters 5 and 6. Moses and the Israelites discover that the road to freedom and God doing what He's promised often go through a deeper disappointment. Yet it's in the middle of their grief, and Moses complaints to the Lord that God reminds them who He is, what He has done, and what He has promised. Ultimately this story points to Jesus, who invites every weary and burdened soul to come to Him and find the rest our hearts have been searching for.

What role does baptism play in the life of a new believer and what does it signify? How many times does someone have to be baptized? Are we required to be baptized before we can partake in the Lord's Supper? In his sermon, “United In Death, United In Life: Baptism As the Sign of Union With Christ” centered on Romans 6:1-5, Pastor Alex Trotter answers these questions and more as he shows how baptism is one of the two ordinances of the church, and he explains how believer's baptism is one of the first commandments required of every new follower of Christ.

Worship with us at 9am + 11am 390 N 400 E Bountiful, UT 84010 https://flourishinggrace.org/plan-you... In this Sunday message, guest speaker Dave Nelson opens Exodus 3:1-12 to explore one of the most significant questions a person can face: what does it mean when God calls you? Drawing from the account of Moses and the burning bush, Dave traces the nature of God's calling with biblical depth and personal honesty, sharing stories from his own journey of faith that span nearly four decades of pastoral ministry. Dave begins with his own conversion at eleven years old, sitting in a Methodist church in a small Michigan town. He had not come expecting anything unusual, but God showed up. Something pulled at his heart with a force he could not explain, and despite his embarrassment, he made his way to the altar and gave his life to Christ. That moment anchors the entire sermon: you did not choose God. He chose you. The calling is never something we manufacture or manipulate. It comes from Him, in His timing, often when we least expect it. The first truth Dave draws from Moses' story is that God's call comes out of the blue. Moses was not on a spiritual retreat or seeking a divine encounter. He was tending flocks in the wilderness on an ordinary day. The disciples were fishing. Matthew was sitting at his tax booth. Paul was walking to Damascus to persecute Christians. God interrupted every one of them in the middle of the routine. Dave adds his own story of being called a second time at nineteen, sitting on a city lawnmower, when God's voice redirected a life heading in the wrong direction. God will meet you wherever you are. The second truth is that God's call is personal. From the burning bush, God did not issue a general announcement. He said, "Moses, Moses." He called him by name because He knew him. Scripture teaches that God knit each of us together in the womb, ordained our days, and designed us with specific gifts, personalities, and purposes. From Abraham to Paul to Peter, the pattern repeats throughout scripture. God meets individuals where they are, calls them by name, and reveals the life they were created to live. That same personal call belongs to every person alive today. Third, Dave draws a distinction that cuts to the heart of Christian living: God's call is an invitation to join Him in what He is already doing, not a commission to do things for Him. God told Moses He had come down to rescue the Israelites, and then He sent Moses to go. Both are true. God is always working, and He invites us to participate. When we stop striving in our own strength and start following Him into what He is doing, the pressure lifts and the burden becomes light. Jesus modeled this perfectly: "I do nothing on my own, but whatever the Father shows me, I do." Fourth, God's call is gracious. Moses was a murderer in exile. Gideon was the least member of the weakest clan in Israel. Paul called himself the worst of sinners. And yet God called every one of them with confidence and purpose. If you have ever believed that your past or your inadequacies disqualify you from God's purposes, this message speaks directly to that lie. God consistently calls the broken and the weak because His strength is made perfect in human weakness. Nothing you have done places you beyond the reach of His redemption. Finally, God's call is always a call to Himself. When Moses asked who he was to stand before Pharaoh, God did not answer the question. He said simply, "I will be with you." That is the only answer that matters. Jesus defined eternal life as knowing the one true God and Jesus Christ whom He sent. He calls us not merely to a task but to a relationship, to the intimate, daily experience of walking with Him. There is nothing like knowing Jesus this way, and it is available to every person in every circumstance.
As we continue in our new series on the Foundations of the Church, Pastor Josiah built on what we looked at last week, as he examined the supernatural change that comes from the proclamation of God's word. No matter who you are or where you've come from, we all must be born again in order to be part of God's family and gain access into his Kingdom. In his exposition of John 3:1-21, Pastor Josiah showed us how Christ's church is made up of sinful people who have been born from above and are being made new by the power of the Holy Spirit!
Worship with us 9 + 11 AM 390 N 400 E Bountiful, UT 84010. For more information or to get connected, please visit: www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit. What is the story of Exodus really about? Is it simply a story about Moses, the plagues, and the parting of the Red Sea, or is there something much deeper taking place? In this opening message of our Exodus series, we discover that the book of Exodus is ultimately not a story about human heroes. It is the story of a faithful God who draws near to rescue His people and claim them as His own. Throughout Scripture, God consistently reveals Himself as a God who takes the initiative. He is the one who pursues, rescues, and restores. The story of Exodus begins by introducing us to this central truth. God draws near to Israel to rescue them and claim them as His own. This theme not only shapes the entire book of Exodus but also reveals the heart of the gospel and the story of the entire Bible. In this sermon, we trace the origins of God's covenant people through the promises made to Abraham. God called Abraham out of his homeland and promised to make him into a great nation through whom all the families of the earth would be blessed. Despite impossible circumstances, waiting, uncertainty, and generations of challenges, God remained faithful to His promises. Even when His people could not see what He was doing, God was working behind the scenes to accomplish His purposes. The message then takes us into the opening chapters of Exodus where we encounter a heartbreaking reality. The descendants of Abraham have multiplied just as God promised, but they are now living under oppression and slavery in Egypt. A new Pharaoh rises to power and begins to fear the growing population of Israel. What follows is one of the darkest moments in Israel's history as God's people suffer under brutal oppression and experience unimaginable loss and suffering. As we examine these difficult chapters, we are confronted with an important question. What happens when God's promises seem impossible to reconcile with our circumstances? Many believers have experienced seasons where they know God is faithful, yet life feels overwhelming, painful, or confusing. Exodus reminds us that God is still working even when we cannot yet see the rescue He is preparing. This message also introduces us to Moses, one of the most significant figures in Scripture. Born into impossible circumstances and rescued from death as an infant, Moses grows up with a complicated identity. He is born Hebrew but raised in the household of Pharaoh. He belongs to both worlds and yet feels at home in neither. His struggle with identity becomes a powerful reminder that lasting identity can never be found in status, success, background, accomplishments, or earthly labels. As Moses attempts to take matters into his own hands, he discovers the limits of human strength and self reliance. His efforts to bring justice through his own power lead to failure, isolation, and exile. Yet even in Moses' mistakes, God is preparing him for a greater purpose. The story reminds us that God's plans are not dependent upon our perfection. God often works through flawed, broken, and unlikely people to accomplish His purposes. One of the most encouraging moments in this message comes as we see Moses wrestling with God's calling. When God invites Moses into His rescue plan, Moses immediately focuses on his weaknesses, failures, and limitations. His response is one many of us can relate to. “Who am I?” Yet the story of Exodus continually points away from human ability and back toward God's faithfulness. The focus is never on what Moses can accomplish. The focus is on what God will do.

This week, Pastor Josiah kicked off our new series “Foundations of the Church” with a sermon entitled, “A Firm Foundation,” centered on 2 Timothy 4:1-8. In his message, Pastor Josiah shares how a faithful church is built on the Word of God, guarded by his Word, and sent out with his Word to reach the nations with the hope of the Gospel. The only way for a church to persevere until Christ's return is to be built on the firm foundation of God's word.
What if the strength you are looking for is found in surrender rather than self reliance? In this powerful message from Romans 8, we conclude our Ordinary Time series by exploring one of the most challenging truths of the Christian life. God calls His people to dependence, not independence. While our culture celebrates self sufficiency, achievement, and personal strength, Scripture points us toward a different path. The Holy Spirit grows our dependence on God and reveals His power in our weakness. Drawing from Romans 8:26–27, this sermon examines how the Holy Spirit helps believers in seasons when life feels overwhelming, uncertain, and beyond their control. Paul acknowledges a reality that every follower of Jesus experiences. We are weak. We do not always know what to pray. We do not always know what to do next. Yet in those moments, the Holy Spirit intercedes for us according to the will of God, reminding us that we are never alone in our struggles. This message continues the theme of Ordinary Time by addressing the everyday realities of following Jesus. While many people remember major milestones, spiritual breakthroughs, and defining moments of faith, most of life is lived in ordinary days. Monday follows Sunday. Responsibilities remain. Challenges persist. Questions linger. The Christian life is not primarily built on extraordinary moments but on daily dependence upon God through the Holy Spirit. One of the central themes of this sermon is the tension between independence and dependence. From an early age, many of us are taught to value independence. We want financial independence, personal success, and the ability to solve our own problems. Yet when that mindset shapes our relationship with God, it can create distance between us and the One who is our true source of life. Scripture reminds us that we were created to live in dependence upon God, not apart from Him. This teaching also explores Jesus' invitation to abide in Him. In John 15, Jesus describes Himself as the vine and His followers as the branches. Apart from Him, we can do nothing. Abiding is not merely a spiritual discipline. It is a posture of dependence. It is learning to remain connected to Christ as the source of our strength, wisdom, peace, and purpose. Through simple acts of prayer, Scripture reading, surrender, and trust, believers learn what it means to live daily in the presence of God. Another powerful section of this sermon focuses on weakness. In a culture that rewards strength and celebrates achievement, weakness often feels like something to hide. Yet the Apostle Paul teaches that God's power is made perfect in weakness. Through personal limitations, suffering, unanswered prayers, anxiety, grief, physical struggles, and difficult circumstances, God often reveals His strength most clearly. Rather than being obstacles to faith, our weaknesses become opportunities for the power of Christ to rest upon us. The message also highlights the importance of surrender. Using Jesus' teaching about a seed falling into the ground and dying, we are reminded that spiritual fruitfulness often comes through letting go. Following Jesus means entrusting our lives, dreams, careers, relationships, resources, and futures to God. It means choosing His purposes over our own and believing that His plans are greater than anything we could accomplish on our own. Throughout this sermon, listeners are encouraged to examine what they may be holding onto too tightly. What areas of life are being controlled by fear, self reliance, or the pursuit of independence? What would it look like to surrender those things to God and trust Him completely? These questions challenge believers to move beyond simply believing in God and into a deeper dependence upon Him.
James tells us that “Faith without works is dead,” and in the conclusion of Paul's letter to Titus we see that God's people must devote themselves to fruitful good works that meet real needs and serve the gospel mission. In his sermon, “Grace In Action” Pastor Josiah shows us how the church is not simply an organization of useful workers, but a family of grace. Christian good works flow from the grace that we've received from Christ and move us toward his love. It is the grace and love that we have for Christ first and foremost and then for each other that binds us together and builds us up for the work that God has prepared for us to while we await his glorious return.
This episode is part 36 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon.This episode covers chapters 11 of the book of 3 Nephi. The surviving righteous people gather outside a temple in the land Bountiful and recollect their recent experiences. Suddenly, a voice from heaven says something twice but they don't understand it. The third time a voice says something that sounds like God the Father at Jesus' baptism. Then, Jesus in a white garment descends from the sky and lands among the people.Jesus tells the people who he is and invites them to feel the wounds in his resurrected body. Then, he teaches them the correct form of baptism so that there would be no disputations among his followers. Let's see what the Jesus of the Book of Mormon says that sounds similar to verses in the New Testament and what sounds like intentional edits.Sources cited:"Appendix 3: 'Articles of the Church of Christ,' June 1829," The Joseph Smith Papers.Further research:Book of Mormon in videoJoseph Smith: The Prophet of the RestorationThe Book of Mormon online: 3 Nephi [chapter 11]Have questions for Truthspresso?

What does it actually look like to follow Jesus in everyday life? Not just during the big spiritual moments, but in the ordinary rhythms of work, family, uncertainty, relationships, and daily routines. In this powerful message from John 14 and Romans 8, we begin the Ordinary Time series by exploring one of the most important and often misunderstood realities of the Christian life. The Holy Spirit grows our intimacy with God. As Jesus prepares His disciples for His death, resurrection, and ascension, He tells them something shocking. It is actually better for them that He goes away because the Holy Spirit will come. For the disciples, this would have been difficult to understand. They had walked with Jesus face to face. They had watched Him teach, heal, perform miracles, and transform lives. Yet Jesus promises that the Helper, the Holy Spirit, will now dwell within His followers and continue His work in them. This sermon unpacks what it means to live with the Holy Spirit in the ordinary seasons of life. From graduations to career changes to moments of uncertainty, life often moves from anticipation into reality very quickly. We all experience moments where we realize, “This is my life now.” The question becomes, how do we continue following Jesus faithfully in those ordinary moments? One of the central themes of this message is intimacy with God. Many believers are comfortable seeing God as authority, leader, or boss, but struggle to experience Him as Father. Through the work of Jesus and the presence of the Holy Spirit, believers are adopted into the family of God as sons and daughters. Romans 8 reminds us that we have not received a spirit of fear or slavery, but the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry, “Abba, Father.” This sermon also addresses several common misunderstandings about the Holy Spirit. Following the Holy Spirit is not reserved for elite Christians or spiritual experts. There is no secret formula, advanced level, or hidden knowledge required. Every believer receives the Holy Spirit at salvation, and the Holy Spirit works in every follower of Jesus to increase intimacy with God, illuminate Scripture, and shape us into the image of Christ. Throughout this teaching, we are reminded that the Christian life is not sustained through human effort alone. The fruit of the Spirit is not the result of self improvement, achievement, or performance. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control are produced through the Holy Spirit working within us. God has a vision for our lives, and through the Spirit He lovingly shapes us as His children. This message also offers hope for those carrying wounds, especially wounds connected to fathers, authority, shame, or fear. Many people struggle to trust God because of painful experiences in earthly relationships. Yet through the Holy Spirit, God patiently teaches His people what it means to truly know Him as a loving Father whose acceptance and love are secure through Jesus Christ. If you have ever felt distant from God, unsure how to grow spiritually, confused about the Holy Spirit, or exhausted from trying to earn God's approval, this sermon will encourage you. It points back to the truth that intimacy with God is not something we achieve. It is something God grows in us through His Spirit. Join us as we begin the Ordinary Time series and discover how the Holy Spirit helps us follow Jesus faithfully in the everyday moments of life.
How should we handle disputes in the church? How do we properly respond to people in the church who are arguing with one another over secondary issues? In his sermon, “Divide to Unify” centered on Titus 3:9-11, Pastor Alex shares how sometimes the church needs to divide over certain areas in order to unify around the gospel. Listen to this week's message to see why Biblical unity is not the absence of conflict, but shared submission to Christ.
Worship with us 9 + 11 AM 390 N 400 E Bountiful, UT 84010. For more information or to get connected, please visit: www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit What is your life proclaiming? Whether we realize it or not, every life points to something. Our priorities, passions, decisions, and responses all communicate what we believe is most important. In this final message of the Why Church series, we explore 1 Peter 2:9–10 and discover one of God's greatest purposes for His church. We are called to proclaim the excellencies of Jesus Christ, the One who called us out of darkness into His marvelous light. This powerful sermon walks through the identity of God's people and reminds believers who they truly are in Christ. Peter writes to Christians facing suffering, persecution, uncertainty, and displacement. Many had lost homes, relationships, careers, and security because of their faith in Jesus. Into that pain and instability, Peter speaks truth about their identity. They are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a people belonging to God. This message reminds us that our identity is not rooted in our performance, success, background, or achievements. Followers of Jesus are chosen because of God's faithfulness and grace, not because they earned His love. In a world where identity constantly shifts and people search for belonging, this sermon points us back to the unchanging truth of who we are in Christ. Throughout this teaching, we see that the church is not a building or an event. The church is a people united by Jesus. No matter our background, nationality, culture, or story, believers share a new heritage and citizenship through Christ. This sermon beautifully highlights the reality that followers of Jesus belong to a greater kingdom and a greater family than anything the world can offer. One of the central themes of this sermon is understanding what it means to proclaim the excellencies of God. Proclaiming the gospel is more than simply talking about Jesus occasionally. It is living a life transformed by Him. A life radically changed by Jesus naturally points back to the One who changed it. Through our words, our actions, our relationships, our worship, and our perseverance in suffering, we testify to the goodness and grace of God. This message also provides a vivid picture of salvation through the gospel. Just as trapped people in darkness cannot rescue themselves, humanity cannot save itself from sin. Jesus came to rescue us completely. He carried us out of darkness and brought us into His marvelous light through His death and resurrection. Salvation is not something we achieve on our own. It is entirely the work of God's grace. As this sermon unfolds, we are challenged to examine our own lives. What are we proclaiming through the way we live? Are our lives pointing to comfort, success, politics, approval, or ourselves? Or are they pointing to Jesus and the transforming power of the gospel? You will also hear a compelling encouragement to remain faithful in suffering. Peter's audience faced hostility for following Jesus, yet they continued proclaiming Him with hope and joy. This message reminds believers that even in hardship, disappointment, grief, or uncertainty, God still has purpose for His people. The church exists to proclaim who Jesus is and what He has done. This sermon also celebrates the beauty of worship and community. God's people gather together not out of obligation or performance, but because praise overflows from hearts changed by grace. As we remember the darkness Jesus rescued us from, worship becomes a joyful response to His mercy and love. If you are struggling with identity, carrying suffering, wrestling with sin, or searching for purpose, this message will encourage you to look to Jesus. He is faithful. He rescues. He restores. And He calls His people to proclaim His goodness to the world.
In his sermon, “The Mercy That Makes Us Useful” centered on Titus 3:1-8, Pastor Josiah shared how we as believers should live in light of God's incredible mercy. Since God has saved us by his mercy, believers must devote themselves to good works before all people so that God can use us to advance the gospel and bring him glory!

For more information or to get connected, please visit: www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit What was Jesus' vision for His church and why does biblical community matter so much? In this powerful message from Ephesians 4, we continue the Why Church series by exploring one of the most important and challenging callings for followers of Jesus. Unity in the body of Christ. In a world shaped by division, isolation, and individualism, this sermon reminds us that Jesus did not design His people to follow Him alone. He calls us into deep spiritual community centered on Him. This teaching begins with a profound question. Is the version of Christianity we are living closer to Jesus' vision for His church or closer to a private and isolated faith shaped by culture? Drawing from Jesus' prayer in John 17 and Paul's words in Ephesians 4, this sermon reveals that God's desire is not simply individual spirituality but a people united together in Christ. Throughout this message, we see that unity is not something we create through personality, preferences, or agreement on every issue. True biblical unity is rooted in Jesus Himself. There is one body, one Spirit, one faith, one baptism, and one God and Father over all. This changes how we see one another and how we live together as the church. This sermon also addresses the tension many believers feel when they hear about unity. It can seem impossible. People are different. Relationships are difficult. Pride, fear, selfishness, and hurt often stand in the way. Yet Paul reminds us that the Christian life is impossible apart from the power of God. The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead is at work in His people, making possible what feels impossible to us. As the message unfolds, we are challenged to examine our posture toward others. Are we living with humility, gentleness, patience, and love? Are we eager to maintain unity or are we allowing culture to shape the way we relate to people? This teaching honestly confronts the reality that many Christians have unknowingly embraced an individualistic faith that stands in contrast to the vision Jesus prayed for. One of the central themes of this sermon is that the church is not meant to be a performance or a weekly event. It is a people being formed together into the likeness of Christ. God uses community, prayer, worship, communion, Scripture, and shared burdens to shape His people. Spiritual growth was never intended to happen in isolation. This message also provides practical encouragement for how believers can move toward deeper community. Read Scripture together. Pray with others. Invite people into your life. Move toward relationships instead of withdrawing from them. As believers gather together around Jesus, the church becomes a powerful witness to the world of God's love, grace, and reconciliation. You will also hear powerful reminders about identity in Christ. Followers of Jesus are chosen, redeemed, forgiven, adopted, and filled with grace. Before any role, career, title, or achievement, believers are sons and daughters of the Most High God. This truth reshapes how we live, work, love, and serve. If you have ever felt disconnected, isolated, frustrated with church, or unsure of where you belong, this sermon will encourage you to rediscover God's design for His people. Jesus is not building isolated individuals. He is building a united family that reflects His love to the world. Join us as we continue the Why Church series and discover the beauty, challenge, and hope of unity in the body of Christ.
What is the difference between passively waiting for Christ's return and actively waiting for his second coming? In his sermon centered on Titus 2:11-15, Pastor Josiah outlines the key elements in waiting well for Christ's return.
Being Salt and Light in a World That Resists Jesus _ Benjer McVeigh _ May 3rd, 2026 [Spifxu0sJF4] by Flourishing Grace Church
What does God ask of us as believers? How should we act as members of the church? In this week's message we get a snapshot or a small window into what it looks like to be a member of God's family. In his sermon, “Rules for Living in God's House,” centered on Titus 2:1-10, Pastor Alex unpacks Paul's specific instructions to the church and shows us the effects these rules have not only on believers, but on the unbelieving world around us as we seek to understand who God is and what his word demands of us as members of God's household.

For more information or to get connected, please visit: www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit Why does the church exist and what is its purpose in our lives today? In this opening message of the Why Church series, we explore Matthew 4:18–22 and uncover the heart behind Jesus' call to His first disciples. This sermon challenges us to rethink what the church truly is and why it matters, not just as a place we attend, but as a people called into a shared mission. As Jesus walks along the Sea of Galilee, He calls ordinary fishermen to follow Him. With just a few words, everything changes. They leave behind their nets, their livelihoods, and their plans to step into something far greater. This moment is not just a historical event. It is a picture of what it means to follow Jesus today. His call is not simply to believe something, improve our lives, or participate in a religious routine. His call is to Himself. In this sermon, we unpack three powerful phrases from Jesus' invitation. First, follow me. This is a call into relationship, not performance. Jesus does not ask for credentials or perfection. He calls people as they are and invites them to walk with Him. This reminds us that the foundation of the church is not built on what we do for God, but on being with Jesus. Second, I will make you. This is a promise of transformation. In a world that constantly tells us we must earn acceptance through achievement, success, or self improvement, Jesus offers something radically different. He takes responsibility for our growth and change. Transformation is not something we manufacture. It is something we receive as we surrender to Him. This is the heart of the gospel. Third, fishers of people. This is a call to purpose. Jesus does not separate following Him from living on mission. He gives His followers a new identity and a shared calling to invite others into relationship with Him. This is not a task reserved for a few. It is a defining part of what it means to be the church. As we follow Jesus, we help others encounter Him as well. This message also clarifies what the church is and what it is not. The church is not a building, a program, or a weekly event. It is the community of people who have surrendered their lives to Jesus across all time. When we understand this, everything changes. Church is no longer something we attend. It is who we are. Throughout this sermon, we are reminded that God's mission is to draw people to Himself, and He has chosen to work through His people to accomplish that purpose. This includes both our individual lives and our life together as a church family. Whether it is through everyday relationships, serving others, or creating opportunities for people to encounter Jesus, we are invited to participate in what God is already doing. If you have ever wondered why church matters, struggled with feeling disconnected, or questioned your purpose as a follower of Jesus, this message will challenge and encourage you. It calls us to move beyond passive faith and step into a life of intentional discipleship and mission. Join us as we begin this series and rediscover what it means to follow Jesus, be transformed by Him, and live on mission together as His church.
In his letter to Titus, Paul addresses one of the most important job that elders in the church are called to perform – guarding the flock! In his message centered on Titus 1: 10-16, Pastor Alex shares information about dangerous false teachers and the effect they have on the church. How should we respond to false teaching? How do elders protect the church from false doctrine? Tune into this week's message to find out!

For more information or to get connected, please visit: www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit What does it really mean to follow Jesus with your life, not just in belief but in action? In this powerful message from Luke 24, we explore Jesus' final words to His disciples and what they mean for us today. At the end of the Gospel of Luke, after His death and resurrection, Jesus makes a clear and life shaping statement: “You are witnesses of these things.” This is not simply a command or a task to add to our already busy lives. It is an identity. It is who we are as followers of Christ. This sermon walks through the reality that being a witness is not about having all the right answers or mastering a script. A witness is simply someone who has experienced something and tells others about it. If Jesus has changed your life, then your story matters. From the suffering and sacrifice of Christ to His resurrection and the forgiveness He offers through repentance, the message of the gospel is both deeply personal and eternally significant. The call is not to perfection, but to authenticity, humility, and courage. We also address common challenges that many believers face when it comes to sharing their faith. Sometimes we focus only on the content and forget to share our personal experience. Other times we share our story but leave out the truth of the gospel itself. And in some cases, our lives do not reflect the message we are trying to communicate. This message brings clarity and encouragement, reminding us that God is not asking for performance, but for faithful presence and honesty about what He has done in our lives. A key focus of this sermon is the role of the Holy Spirit. Jesus did not leave His followers to figure this out on their own. He promised power from on high, reminding us that it is God who draws people to Himself. Our responsibility is not to control outcomes, but to trust, pray, and step into the opportunities God provides. Through real life stories and practical encouragement, this message shows how God works through ordinary people in everyday moments. You will be challenged to consider who God has placed in your life and how you can begin praying for them. Whether it is a neighbor, coworker, friend, or family member, God is already at work. As you pray for opportunities, trust the Holy Spirit, and remain faithful over time, you may be surprised at how God uses your story to impact others. As we close out the Gospel of Luke, this message invites you to reflect on your own journey with Jesus. Have you experienced His forgiveness, His grace, and His transforming power? If so, you already have a story worth sharing. And if you are still exploring faith, Jesus invites you to come and see, just as He did with His first followers. Join us as we discover what it means to live as witnesses of Jesus, not out of obligation, but out of a life that has truly been changed.
How should a church function? Should it be run like a business or more like a community co-op? What is an Elder and why is the role important in church leadership? In his exposition of Titus 1:5-9, Pastor Alex shows us how Christ has established order for the church through the appointment of biblically qualified elders who help lead and shepherd the flock. Tune into this week's message and find out why elders serve as a necessary and precious gift to Christ's church.

How can we hear God's voice in a world filled with noise, distraction, and doubt? In this powerful sermon from Luke 24:13–35, we walk alongside two discouraged followers of Jesus on the road to Emmaus and discover a profound truth that still speaks to us today. God is not distant or silent. He is near, He is present, and He is actively speaking. The question is not whether God is speaking, but whether we are listening. This message explores the moment after the resurrection when two disciples are overwhelmed with confusion, grief, and unmet expectations. They had hoped Jesus would redeem Israel, but instead they witnessed His crucifixion. Now, walking away from Jerusalem, they believe the story is over. What they do not realize is that Jesus Himself is walking right beside them. This passage reveals a powerful reality about our own lives. Even when we feel distant from God, He has not moved away from us. Through this teaching, we see that Jesus draws near to us in our disappointment, doubt, and discouragement. Our circumstances do not determine God's presence. Whether we are celebrating victories or struggling through pain, Jesus meets us right where we are. He listens, He engages, and He patiently leads us back to truth. This is a message of hope for anyone who feels like God is silent or absent in their life. One of the central themes of this sermon is understanding how God speaks. Not through dramatic or sensational moments alone, but through a steady, relational connection. God speaks through His Word, through His presence, and through His people. As Jesus walks with the disciples, He opens the Scriptures and shows how all of it points to Him. This reminds us that the Bible is not just information to study, but truth meant to transform our hearts and help us recognize the voice of God. We also see the importance of community in hearing God clearly. It is in conversation, shared meals, and relationships that clarity begins to form. When the disciples sit down together and break bread, their eyes are finally opened. In that moment, they recognize Jesus. This shows us that spiritual growth is not meant to happen in isolation. God often speaks most clearly when we are walking with others in faith. This sermon also challenges us to respond. Just like the disciples invited Jesus to stay with them, we are called to continually invite God into every part of our lives. Hearing from God is not about a one-time experience. It is about an ongoing relationship. It requires openness, humility, and a willingness to listen. If you have ever felt disconnected from God, unsure of His voice, or questioning His presence, this message is for you. It will encourage you to slow down, reconnect, and rediscover the ways God is already speaking in your life. From Scripture to community to quiet moments of reflection, God is constantly drawing near. Join us as we unpack Luke 24 and learn how to recognize Jesus in our everyday lives. God is speaking. Let's learn how to listen.
This Sunday we began a new series through Paul's letter to Titus. As we examined the introduction of Paul's letter together, Pastor Josiah challenged us to anchor our faith in the unfailing promises of God.

Worship with us 9 + 11 AM 390 N 400 E Bountiful, UT 84010. For more information or to get connected, please visit: www.flourishinggrace.org. Welcome to this Easter message from Flourishing Grace. In this powerful and honest sermon, we walk through Luke 24:1–12 and explore the reality of the resurrection of Jesus Christ through the lens of doubt, questions, and faith. This message is for anyone who has ever wrestled with uncertainty, struggled to believe, or wondered if the story of Jesus is truly real. On the first Easter morning, no one expected the resurrection. The women who went to the tomb were not anticipating a miracle. The apostles did not believe the initial reports. Even Peter, after seeing the empty tomb, walked away still trying to make sense of it all. These moments remind us that doubt is not something to be ashamed of. In fact, doubt can be a meaningful part of the journey toward truth when it leads us to ask honest questions and seek real answers. In this sermon, we explore three snapshots of people encountering the empty tomb. The women arrive perplexed, unsure of what has happened. The apostles dismiss the news as unbelievable, struggling to trust what they have heard. Peter begins to move toward belief, yet hesitates to fully respond. Each of these responses reflects something deeply human and relatable in all of us. This Easter message challenges us to consider where we are in our own journey. Are we relying on our own understanding rather than trusting in God's power. Are we surrounding ourselves with community but resisting the truth of God's Word. Are we beginning to believe but holding back from taking action. These questions invite us to examine not only what we believe, but how we respond to what we believe. At the center of this message is one defining truth. Either Jesus is alive or He is not. The resurrection is not simply a symbolic idea or a hopeful story. It is a claim that changes everything. If Jesus truly rose from the dead, then it reshapes our understanding of life, purpose, forgiveness, and hope. It calls us to move beyond passive belief and into a life that is transformed by faith. This sermon also reminds us that faith is not about having everything figured out. It is about following the evidence, engaging with the truth, and allowing God to meet us in our questions. The people in Luke 24 did not begin with certainty, but they encountered the reality of the risen Christ and their lives were never the same. Whether you are new to church, exploring Christianity, or have been following Jesus for years, this message is an invitation to take your next step. Do not stay stuck in uncertainty. Pursue the truth. Ask the hard questions. And consider what it means if Jesus really is alive. If this message encouraged you, be sure to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who may need to hear it. Thank you for joining us this Easter as we celebrate the hope, truth, and life found in Jesus Christ.
On Good Friday, Pastor Alex Trotter preached a message centered on Zechariah 3:1-10 in which he outlined why as Christians we call the night that Christ was crucified good. Listen to his message "Heavenly Acquittal" to find out how that terrible night was turned into a very good night for all those put their faith in Christ.
This Easter Sunday message from Acts 2:42-47 asks a simple but important question: what happened after the resurrection? In Christ's Devoted Church, we look at how the risen Lord formed his people into a church that was rooted in truth, shaped by love, filled with joyful worship, and marked by prayerful dependence. This sermon is not only about the habits of the early church. It is about the power of Christ to form a people who live together in a way that displays the beauty of the gospel. Today Jesus Christ calls us to be that kind of church for others.
Worship with us 9 + 11 am 390 N 400 E Bountiful, UT 84010. https://flourishinggrace.org/plan-you... What does it truly mean to remember Jesus and why does communion matter so deeply for the life of a believer? In this powerful sermon from Luke 22, we explore the meaning behind the Last Supper and discover how Jesus transforms the Passover meal into something far greater. This message walks through the moment Jesus shares bread and cup with His disciples and reveals the heart of the gospel through remembrance, sacrifice, and the promise of a new covenant. As Jesus gathers with His disciples, He is not reacting to events unfolding around Him. He is fully in control, intentionally moving toward the cross. Even in the presence of betrayal, opposition, and spiritual warfare, Jesus is orchestrating redemption. This passage reminds us that nothing about the cross was accidental. It was the plan from the beginning, and it was carried out for you and for me. In this teaching, we unpack the deep connection between the Old Testament Passover and the work of Christ. The Passover pointed back to God rescuing His people from slavery in Egypt. Jesus takes that same meal and redirects it to Himself, showing that He is the true and better fulfillment. The bread becomes a symbol of His body given for us. The cup becomes the sign of a new covenant, not based on our ability to remain faithful, but on His finished work on the cross. This sermon also highlights a powerful truth about spiritual memory. What we remember shapes who we are. When we forget what Jesus has done, we become anchored to fear, shame, and the lies of the world. But when we remember the gospel, we are grounded in our identity as forgiven, redeemed, and adopted children of God. Communion is not just a ritual. It is a weekly reminder of what is most true about us. Through a moving story and biblical teaching, this message challenges us to consider what we are anchoring our lives to. When everything else fades, when life becomes uncertain, and when the things we depend on fall away, what remains? The call is simple but profound. Remember and proclaim. Remember what Jesus has done. Proclaim it with your life. This is why the church gathers. This is why we take communion. Not out of routine, but out of deep need. We need to remember the sacrifice of Christ. We need to proclaim His death and resurrection until He returns. This message will encourage you to see communion with fresh eyes and to anchor your life in the unshakable truth of the gospel. If you are searching for meaning, struggling with doubt, or simply wanting to grow deeper in your faith, this sermon will point you back to the foundation that never fails. Jesus is enough. His sacrifice is sufficient. And His covenant is secure forever. Join us as we walk through Luke 22 and rediscover the beauty of remembering and proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ.
What are you worried about? What are you afraid of? In this week's sermon, Pastor Josiah shows us how Christ came in power and authority over our biggest fear and our greatest enemy through a message centered on Luke 8:22-56.
