This Labor Day, Pastor Larry challenges us to reconsider our perspective on work. Far from being a necessary evil, work is presented as a sacred calling and privilege given by God. This message draws from Genesis, showing how even before the Fall, Adam and Eve were given purposeful work in tending the Garden of Eden. This reminds us that we're created in God's image not just to rest, but to join Him in His ongoing work of creation and stewardship. Pastor Larry encourages us to view our jobs, whatever they may be, as a divine vocation. By working 'heartily as for the Lord' (Colossians 3:23-24), we fulfill God's plan for our lives and find true meaning.

Praise is not a suggestion; it's the very breath of the believer's life. If praise flows from your lips, it's because your heart is full of Him. Psalm 150 begins and ends with 'Praise the Lord' and appeals to us to praise Him for his character and greatness. Listen in as Pastor Larry concludes his series by unpacking this final psalm in the collection.

Ephesians chapter 3:1-13 explains how we can come boldly into Gods grace through faith. By Pastor Larry Ellis.

Listen to Pastor Larry preach from Psalm 67, calling us to praise God for His saving power and to make Him known among all nations.

Sin always takes you further than you wanted to go, keeps you longer than you wanted to stay, and costs you more than you wanted to pay. King David wrote Psalm 51 as a confession of his sin, an appeal to God's love and mercy to grant him restoration, and as a celebration of his renewed joy and purpose. Listen in as Pastor Larry unpacks why confession is good for the soul!

Gods gracefrees us from our sin and compels us to look forward with confidence as wefollow Him.

Recorded 7/27/2025 Pastor Larry Stephens brings a message from God's Word on the importance of faith as demonstrated in Abel and Enoch. Pastor Larry will pinpoint how the author will continue to move toward the point that Jesus is better than the old covenant.  When one walks close to the Lord we see... 1. Confession to God with doubts and concerns. 2. Life transformation 3. Fruit Bearing for the Kingdom 4. Forgiveness for our sin and those who we have sinned against 5. A full satisfaction in Jesus

In this powerful and thought-provoking message, Pastor Larry Loewen explores a paradox many believers quietly face: the danger of pursuing the idea of Jesus more than Jesus Himself. With clarity, honesty, and scriptural depth, Pastor Larry unpacks five practical ways to stay anchored in a real relationship with Christ—so we don't get lost in the busyness of ministry, religious routines, or spiritual performance. Whether you're a long-time believer, a ministry leader, or someone seeking a deeper walk with God, this sermon challenges you to pause, reflect, and realign. Because it's possible to run hard after what we think is God, only to realize we've left Him behind. Listen now and rediscover the heart of your faith. Don't just pursue Jesus—walk with Him. ✝️

Have you ever felt so far from God, your past weighing on you like a heavy burden? In today's powerful sermon, Pastor Larry takes us on a journey through Genesis 28, where we meet Jacob—a man marked by flaws and sinfulness, yet pursued relentlessly by God's love. Jacob's story reflects our own; despite his deceitful ways, he found himself in a "certain place" of desperation, where God met him. Pastor Larry reveals how even our worst mistakes can become the backdrop for divine encounters. He emphasizes the truth that knowing about God isn't enough; we must each seek a personal relationship with Him. Through the metaphor of Jacob's ladder, Pastor Larry illustrates that Jesus is the ultimate bridge between humanity and the Father, offering redemption for all who come to Him. The message invites you to reflect on your own life—whether you are lost in your sin or running from your past, there is hope and restoration awaiting you. Don't miss the chance to hear this uplifting message. Join us in discovering the profound truth that God pursues us, ready to welcome us back home! Listen now and embrace the path of redemption!

Recorded 07/20/2025 Pastor Larry G. Stephens brings a message on the biblical faith. Looking a Hebrews chapter 11:1-3, Pastor Larry brings out the following: I. “Faith” is Biblically Defined: II. “By Faith,” We Know God Provided Something Better:   Things "hoped for:"  1. The church must hope to continue to move forward with the gospel: 2. The church must hope for light in times of darkness. 3. The church must hope that their faith will increase throughout. 4. The church must have hope for the future and for gospel advancement. The church must replace despair with joy, worry with peace, indecisiveness with godly wisdom, fearfulness with courage, self-empowerment with Holy Spirit enablement. 

Psalms aren't just poetic verses for quiet mornings, but Spirit-breathed prayers, battlefield cries, songs of worship, and declarations of trust that have stood the test of time. The Psalms are raw, real and relentless, and teach us how to pray when we're panicking, worship when we're weary, and trust when we're trembling. Listen in as Pastor Larry unpacks the longest Psalm - 119 - and guides us through it's heartfelt anthem on the power of living by God's Word.

Recorded 07-13-2025 Pastor Larry Stephens brings a message from Joshua 24:1-33 entitled, "Will You Continue to Serve?"  Pastor Larry's main points were: I. Joshua 24:1-13 – A Rich History Retold: II. Joshua 24:14-15 – You Must Be Devoted First to God: III. Joshua 24:16-18 – Israel Affirms Their Loyalty to God: IV. Joshua 24:21–24 Rekindling the Covenant: V. Joshua 24:29-33: Joshua's Death and Israel's Faithfulness…For Now: 

History isn't hiding—it's been ignored. From ancient hilltop altars to disputed Scriptures and controversial doctrines, everything here collides with assumptions. Instead of brushing aside hard questions, this confrontation handles them head-on: the Psalms that make people squirm, the battle over Moses' body, the truth about music in church, and the weighty debate over women in the workforce. Each issue is stripped down and examined through both time and truth. It's blunt. It's direct. And it cuts through noise like a blade through fog. At the Biblically Grounded Archaeology Experience, leading Bible scholars and archaeologists will bring Scripture to life with the latest artifacts and live reports from Shiloh. Over two immersive days you'll hear from frontline experts like Scott Stripling, Abigail Van Huss, and Clayton Van Huss, interact with ancient relics, and gain fresh insight into biblical texts. Whether you're a parent, student, or seeker, this event promises powerful moments as tangible evidence underscores the reliability of God's Word. Reserve your place now and stand on a faith that is truly grounded in reality. https://www.swrc.com/events/biblically-grounded-archaeology-conference/

As we approach the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Pastor Larry reminds us of the profound spiritual roots that shaped our nation. The phrase 'all men are created equal' isn't just a political statement—it's a deeply biblical concept. This idea, rooted in Genesis 1:27 where both man and woman are created in God's image, reminds us of our inherent worth and equality before our Creator. It challenges us to see every person, regardless of race, gender, or social status, as equally valuable in God's eyes. As we reflect on this, how might it change the way we treat others in our daily lives? Are we truly living out this biblical principle of equality in our communities and churches? Let's consider how we can better embody this foundational truth in our interactions with others, fostering a spirit of unity and mutual respect that reflects God's love for all humanity.The Gathering Church is located in Midland, Texas.You can watch our live worship experience online at mygathering.liveVisit our website at https://www.mygathering.churchConnect with us on Social Mediahttps://facebook.com/mgatheringhttps://Instagram.com/mygatheringhttps://Twitter.com/mygatheringGOD | COMMUNITY | PURPOSE

In this message, we're challenged to reconsider our approach to prayer. The core question addressed is why we should pray when God already knows our needs. The answer lies in the heart of our relationship with God. Prayer isn't about informing an omniscient being; it's about building intimacy with our Heavenly Father. Just as communication is vital in human relationships, our dialogue with God through prayer nurtures our spiritual connection. We're reminded of Jesus' words in Matthew 6, where He assumes His followers will pray, not questioning if they will. This underscores the importance of prayer in our faith journey. Pastor Larry's message encourages us to move beyond formulaic prayers and simply talk to God, fostering a genuine, heartfelt relationship that transforms our spiritual lives.The Gathering Church is located in Midland, Texas.You can watch our live worship experience online at mygathering.liveVisit our website at https://www.mygathering.churchConnect with us on Social Mediahttps://facebook.com/mgatheringhttps://Instagram.com/mygatheringhttps://Twitter.com/mygatheringGOD | COMMUNITY | PURPOSE

Pastor Larry Huch celebrates Father's Day with Vitor Belfort, an acclaimed mixed martial artist and boxer who shares his message "Four Pillars Of Men."

In this powerful message, we're called to embrace biblical manhood in a world that often misunderstands or devalues it. The central scripture, 1 Corinthians 16:13-14, provides a blueprint for godly masculinity: 'Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; act like men; be strong. Do everything in love.' These exhortations challenge us to be vigilant against spiritual and physical threats, to remain steadfast in our beliefs, to embody true manhood, and to act with strength and love. As believers, we're reminded that true strength lies not just in physical prowess, but in spiritual maturity and unwavering faith. Pastor Larry urges us to consider how we can better fulfill our roles as protectors, providers, and spiritual leaders in our families and communities, all while reflecting Christ's love.The Gathering Church is located in Midland, Texas.You can watch our live worship experience online at mygathering.liveVisit our website at https://www.mygathering.churchConnect with us on Social Mediahttps://facebook.com/mgatheringhttps://Instagram.com/mygatheringhttps://Twitter.com/mygatheringGOD | COMMUNITY | PURPOSE

Celebrating His Resurrection - He Is Risen - Pastor Larry Huch - April 20 by Pastor Larry Huch

In this powerful message, Pastor Larry challenges us to confront the reality of death to truly appreciate the miracle of resurrection. The sermon takes us on a journey through our own mortality, asking us to imagine our own funerals. This stark imagery isn't meant to depress us, but to awaken us to the profound hope we have in Christ. The key scripture, 1 Corinthians 15, reminds us that Christ's resurrection is the cornerstone of our faith and the promise of our own future resurrection. This passage beautifully illustrates how Jesus, as the 'firstfruits,' paves the way for our own victory over death. The sermon draws an interesting parallel between sleep and death, emphasizing that for believers, death is merely temporary - like falling asleep and waking up in eternity. This perspective transforms our understanding of loss and grief, filling us with hope and courage in the face of life's greatest challenge. As we reflect on this message, we're invited to examine our own faith and to live in light of the resurrection, allowing this truth to shape our daily lives and eternal perspective.The Gathering Church is located in Midland, Texas.You can watch our live worship experience online at mygathering.liveVisit our website at https://www.mygathering.churchConnect with us on Social Mediahttps://facebook.com/mgatheringhttps://Instagram.com/mygatheringhttps://Twitter.com/mygatheringGOD | COMMUNITY | PURPOSE

Passover First Fruits - It's A Miraculous Time - Pastor Larry Huch - April 13 by Pastor Larry Huch

The Great Shabbat - releasing God's blessings. "Shabbat HaGadol," meaning "The Great Sabbath," is the Sabbath immediately preceding Passover.

In this sermon, we dive into the powerful story of the seven sons of Sceva in Acts 19, exploring how fear can overpower our lives when we fail to recognize our true identity and authority in Christ. Fear thrives in the absence of truth, and when we lack a solid foundation in God's Word, we distort reality and live in fear instead of faith. True spiritual authority comes from submission to God, not manipulation or control. By embracing our identity in Christ, surrendering our fears, and walking confidently in His power, we can overcome fear and live in freedom, knowing we are defined by His victory, not our past failures.
