"What is Love?" Pastor Ryan Myers 9.28.25
Pastor Ryan addresses the topic of evangelism as part of the church's ongoing series, “What is the Church?” He unpacks the biblical call to evangelism, not as a mere event or task, but as a way of life that naturally flows from our identity in Christ. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5 and practical tools like the Roman's Road, Ryan encourages listeners to faithfully share the life-changing message of reconciliation, reminding us that conversion is God's work, but proclamation is ours. He tackles common fears and misconceptions around evangelism, offering both encouragement and strategies for engaging others with the gospel. Whether you're excited or intimidated by sharing your faith, this sermon will equip and inspire you to become an ambassador for Christ in everyday life.
Trust isn't just a feeling—it's a foundation. In this powerful opening to the "Immeasurably More" vision series, Pastor Ryan reveals why God often takes us the long way around and reminds us that those frustrating detours might actually be His mercy preparing us for what's next. From the Israelites' wilderness journey to a compelling chair demonstration, this teaching will help you move from believing in God to trusting in God. Whether you've been stuck asking "Why is this happening?" or ready to ask "What are You developing in me?"—this message is packed with biblical truth, practical wisdom, and a defining challenge. God's not just asking you to believe He exists. He's asking you to trust that He's able. Scripture Reference: Exodus 13:17-22, Ephesians 3:20 Big Idea: There's a massive difference between believing in God and trusting in God—and trust is the foundation for immeasurably more. Key Quote: "God won't bless a path that He didn't choose. We spend life exhausted because we're carrying a weight God never intended us to carry." ⸻ Topics in this Message: Why God's detours are mercy, not punishment The difference between believing in God vs. trusting in God How trust shifts our perspective from "Why me?" to "What are You developing?" Three ways trust prepares us for immeasurably more Why God won't bless paths He didn't choose The chair demonstration: belief vs. trust in action How your faith becomes a testimony for the next generation +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday.

Revival doesn't start with perfect people—it starts when we surrender. In this message, “Revival Starts With Surrender,” Pastor Ryan unpacks the story of Jonah to show how running from God only leads to storms, but surrender opens the door to revival.From Jonah's rebellion to Nineveh's repentance, we see that:You can run from God, but you can't hide.Being trapped isn't the same as being surrendered.Your obedience can change a city.Just as God pursued Jonah, He is pursuing you. The same Jesus who is greater than Jonah gave His life so you could experience mercy, freedom, and revival.Join us Sunday's 8:15 | 10:00 | 11:45 Authentic Church 2416 N Center St Hickory, NC 28601 (Beside Planet Fitness) GIVING To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://authenticchurch.com/give GET CONNECTED Ready to check out Authentic Church in person?

What kind of person would forgive while being insulted? What kind of person would forgive while being literally nailed up on a cross? What kind of person would have compassion for the very people murdering them? God would. The beauty of the cross is that God, while we were stuck in our own brokenness and sinfulness, paid the debt that had separated us from Him and drew us into Himself through His radical forgiveness and generosity. Pastor Ryan begins Volume 4 of our year-long series in the Epic Story of Scripture, titled Glory as we look at Jesus exaltation on the cross and the radical grace that is the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven.
