2025 November 16th - 9:30am Generations Sermon - Pastor Sam by St Luke's Lutheran Church & School

Today I am having a conversation with Sam, a pastor in Scarborough, chaplain at a Mental Health Forensic Unit and averaging three trips per year planting churches in India since 2019. In our conversation we talk about being a worldwide Christian and having ministry in three lanes.

Pastors Josh and Jenaye sit down with Pastor Sam to discuss generosity and what it means to leave a lasting legacy. Legacy Makers goes beyond giving — it's about joining God's mission to reach the unreached through five ministry lanes: Vulnerable Kids, Local and Global Missions, Future Leaders, and Future Projects. Whether you give, go, or pray, your participation fuels God's global work.

This Sunday, Pastor Sam gave a sermon titled "Check Your Vision Before You Judge" from Matthew 7:1-6. In this passage, we see how Jesus calls us to create communities of grace that still hold one another accountable.

2025 November 9th - 8:00am Foundations Sermon - Pastor Sam by St Luke's Lutheran Church & School

This is the age of "The Two Witnesses." As creation moves to a wind-down moment: two distinct ministries will be restored by the two men who were taken into heaven alive: Moses and Elijah never tasted death. These Two Witnesses will return to wind up God's program for the ages. It will not be fun and games. It will be an epic shaking and recovery of all that God has purposed since the world began. Moses was used by God to destroy the gods of Egypt and bring the Law. Elijah decimated the worship of Idols and brought the people back to their Covenant with God.

Download Discussion Questions Ice Breaker Pick one. What was your favorite job you've ever had?  What do you enjoy spending money on? What was money like for you growing up? How did it shape the way you view money now? Scripture Read Luke 16:1–15; 1 Timothy 6:9–10 Observation In the parable of the shrewd manager, what does Jesus seem to admire, and what does He not admire? According to verse 10–13, how does Jesus connect money and trust? Why do you think the Pharisees “sneered” at Jesus' teaching about money? Why do you think Jesus gave this teaching to his disciples as well?  How does Paul's image of “the root of all kinds of evil” help us understand the deeper problem beneath greed? Application Paul warns that the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. What signs might indicate someone loves money?  What safeguards can we keep in our life to make sure that we don't love money? How does the illustration Pastor Sam used about removing buckthorn from the root apply to our finances and generosity?  What's the hardest part about giving consistently?  Prayer Lord, help us believe You when You say it's more blessed to give than to receive. Pull up the roots of greed, fear, and self-reliance in our lives. Teach us to trust You with everything we have.

John didn't try to convince anyone about Jesus — he just pointed and said, “Look, the Lamb of God.”In a world full of noise, opinions, and endless content about faith, we can forget that Jesus never called people to arguetheir way to belief. He simply invited them to experience Him.When the disciples asked where He was staying, Jesus said, “Come, and you will see.” That invitation still stands today. It's not about collecting more sermons, podcasts, or hot takes — it's about living a life that shows people who He is.Missional living means embodying the message, not just repeating it. It's learning how to point others toward the presence of Jesus in our everyday lives — through how we love, serve, and respond.Because people don't just need another explanation about God — they need an encounter with Him.

2025 November 2nd - 9:30am Generations Sermon - Pastor Sam by St Luke's Lutheran Church & School

Every year, this season reminds us that Builders isn't just a fund — it's an invitation. An invitation to partner with God in what He's building through His church.In Philippians 2:1–11, Paul paints a picture of Jesus-centered humility, unity, and surrender — one that reaches into every part of life. Yet too often, we apply this truth selectively, allowing Jesus to lead our hearts but not our habits, our time but not our treasure.This message calls us to tear down those walls. To see that generosity isn't just an act — it's an identity. That flourishing communities aren't built by consumers but by contributors. And that true freedom is found when we release what we have because we trust who we have.Builders is a moment to move beyond “what can I get?” and live out “what can I give?” — just as Christ did.

This is a sermon from the Morgantown, WV, USA sanctuary of Restoration Church International. Joe & Rena Perozich pray that this message will be a blessing to you as you listen. Should you wish to learn more about the ministry, we invite you to visit www.restorationchurchintl.org

In this powerful and heartfelt message, Pastor Sam reminds us that life was never meant to be lived all at once. When we try to carry tomorrow's worries or dwell on yesterday's regrets, we miss the beauty of what God is doing right now. Drawing from Scripture, he challenges us to slow down, trust God's timing, and take life one day at a time.Through personal stories of faith, forgiveness, and transformation, Sam shares how surrendering control opens the door for peace and freedom. Whether it's breaking free from anxiety, learning to forgive, or simply choosing gratitude for today, this message will inspire you to live in the moment with God's strength.If you've been feeling overwhelmed by the future or burdened by the past, this episode is a timely reminder that God is in both but He meets you in the now.

Rev 21:1-8 We like new things, don't we? Whether it's a new car, a new phone, or a new home we get excited for new things. But you know what undoubtedly happens? New things become old. They lose their glimmer. They crack and degrade. It's no wonder that God gives us the hope that all things will be made new. And they will stay new forever. But what exactly will change? And how should that change the way we live? We consider those questions this week as Pastor Sam continues his study in the book of Revelation.

The word Ecclesiology—from the Greek ekklesia (assembly/church) and logos (word/study)—has been lost, twisted, and misunderstood. Many have been discipled to see the Church through the eyes of a critic, not the heart of a contributor. But to understand Jesus, you have to understand His Bride. In this message, we dive deep into:The Church as the Bride of Christ — Ephesians 5:25-27What it means to be washed by the Word — James 1:22-25Becoming a radiant church filled with His Presence — Psalm 34:5 Living holy and blameless before God — 1 Peter 1:15-16This isn't about a perfect church—it's about a purified one.A people surrendered, sanctified, and united under one name: Jesus. It's time to stop spectating and start sanctifying.Where you see a flaw in the Church is where you're called to sacrifice for it. We don't just attend the Bride—we are the Bride.Let's be radiant together.

Today we're going to dive into one of the most fascinating and hope filled promises in all of Scripture, and that is the millennial reign of Christ and its connection to the Davidic Covenant. For centuries, God's people have looked forward to the day when the Son of David will sit on the throne in Jerusalem and rule with justice and righteousness over all the earth. From II Samuel to Revelation, the Bible paints a picture of a literal kingdom where Christ fulfills his promise to Israel and demonstrates God's faithfulness. But what does the rain look like? Why is it necessary and God's redemptive plan at all? Why does this have to happen, and how does it shape the way we live today? We'll explore those questions and more as we unpack the who, what, when, and where, and why of the Millennial Kingdom. To discuss today's topic, we're joined by Sam Miles, President of the Living Faith Bible Institute and instructor over Biblical Studies at LFBI. Pastor Sam is speaking on the subject of the Millennial Reign at the Certainty Conference, 2025. Visit https://www.lffellowship.com/certainty to stream all of the sessions regarding God's redemptive plan for Israel.

Jesus often described His return like a groom coming for His bride — unexpected, but eagerly anticipated. In this message, Pastor Phillip unpacks the final stages of the ancient Hebrew wedding and how they mirror our relationship with Christ: the waiting, the shout, the feast, and the union to come. Waiting on God isn't passive — it's purposeful. Let's learn how to live ready, stay faithful

Jesus uses the Parable of the Weeds to explain God's plan for kingdom expansion between his first and second comings. Discover why the Kingdom of Heaven advances by growing righteous people rather than by attempting to remove all sources of wickedness.

Rev 20:1-10 We know Jesus is the King of kings and Lord of lords. But if He were to rule and reign on the earth, what would that actually look like? Is it even possible? Well, according to Revelation that day is coming! And the church will be a witness to it. This week Pastor Sam expounds on this truth as he continues his study in the book of Revelation.

The Way Out - When Idols Fall

Division. It's the one word that captures the pain and problems America is facing right now. Tragedy should unite us, but in recent history, moments of violence have only fueled greater division — even among believers.In this message, Pastor Sam Grosso approaches this cultural moment not as a reporter or politician, but through a biblical lens.What does true peace and unity look like in the body of Christ, and is peace even possible in a time like this?

2025 September 21st - 8:00am Foundations Sermon - Pastor Sam by St Luke's Lutheran Church & School

Pastor Kerry, Pastor Sam and Pastor Sammy invite us to live in the Supernatural of God.

At the start of the year, we declared the “Year of God's Favor.” But declaring favor and walking in it are two very different things. In this final message of our New Series, we dig into what it truly means to receive, remain in, and walk by God's favor. Favor isn't about favoritism or easy blessing. Favor is God's demonstrated delight over His children who walk faithfully, live with integrity, sacrifice in love, and embody Christlike compassion.

This week's message, “Can I Ask You Something?”, takes us deeper into the journey of stepping into the new thing God is doing in our lives. Pastor Sam Grosso discusses how often we wrestle with how we view God's plansIs He a dictator? Are we just robots carrying out orders? Or does He actually invite us into relationship, dialogue, and collaboration with His will?This message challenges us to reimagine prayer: not as fearful requests or formulaic obedience, but as a child coming to a good Father.

2025 September 7th - 11:00am FUEL Sermon - Pastor Sam by St Luke's Lutheran Church & School

Are you positioned to hear God when He speaks? ABOUT THE MESSAGEIn Part 4 of the Encounter series, Pastor Sam Muyaka helps us look at the story of Samuel and how God called him by name. Samuel's encounter didn't happen by accident—it was the result of Hannah's devotion, Eli's guidance, and Samuel's own response. Hannah's prayers and sacrifice positioned him for God's presence, Eli's wisdom gave him the direction to recognize God's voice, and Samuel's obedience allowed him to respond with the words, “Speak, Lord, your servant is listening.” Are we in position to hear God when He speaks, and will we respond with a heart that's ready? ABOUT JESUSIf you want to learn more about who Jesus is and what it means to have a relationship with Him, we would love to help you on that journey: https://www.thechurch.fm/jesus For a deeper dive into The Word of God on a daily basis check out our Free Ancient Paths Daily Devotional: https://www.thechurch.fm/ancient-paths WHO WE AREWe believe that the goal of every Christian is To Be Conformed Into the Image of Jesus Christ, and a relationship with Jesus as well as being involved in a healthy church community are both important to achieving that goal.

For the past two weeks, we've been naming the things that get us stuck and keep us stuck. But today we're taking it further—because it's one thing to admit you're stuck, it's another to actually step into the new thing God has for you. Let's be honest: being stuck rarely brings out the best in us. We freak out, shut down, or go numb. And often the first steps toward new life feel small, backwards, or even wrong. But in Genesis 22, we see Abraham walk by faith into something that didn't make sense—and on the other side, he discovered that “the Lord will provide.” This message will challenge you to trust God beyond what you see, to release even good things when He asks, and to re-center your life on Jesus—the One who is always the point of it all.Connect At Artisan: https://www.artisan.churchOnline Giving: https://www.artisan.church/giving

2025 August 31st - 9:30am Generations Sermon - Pastor Sam by St Luke's Lutheran Church & School

This week in our series “I'm Stuck” we continue in Isaiah 43:18-19 (NIV):“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Often when God begins something new, it's met with doubt, resistance, or even hostility: “That can't be right… that's not how we do it…” But God's newness isn't about a different gospel or doctrine — it's about fresh revelation, fresh vision, fresh anointing, fresh songs, and a fresh move of His Spirit.
