In this week's message, Pastor Shawn Smith weaves together two seemingly unrelated biblical moments — Mary sitting at the feet of Jesus in Luke 10 and Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego standing before the fiery furnace in Daniel 3 — to reveal one unified truth: the courage to stand is born in the discipline to sit. Filled with honesty and humor, Pastor Shawn confronts the barrier of busyness in our lives, challenging every believer to examine what golden statues the world is asking them to bow to — jobs, fear, approval, distraction — and whether they've spent enough time at Jesus' feet to recognize the moment when it's time to stand. Drawing from Daniel's unwavering commitment to kneel in private so he could stand in public, and the stunning image of the fourth man in the fire, this sermon makes clear that God doesn't just lead us through the fire — He joins us in it, and the only thing that burns is what had us bound. The message closes with a powerful altar call: "Don't be so busy that you miss Jesus, and don't be so afraid that you bow to the world — ask Him to burn what has you bound today."   For more information, visit our website: www.kingdomemc.com.   #WordOfGod #BibleStudy #Scripture #HolySpirit #JesusChrist #Salvation #Obedience #Christian #Jesus #Faith #Church #Bible #Gospel #Sermon #ChurchOnline #ChurchLife #SundayService #Christianity #GraceAndTruth #BeStillAndKnow #StandForChrist #FreedomInChrist #SpiritualGrowth #DiscipleshipLife #FaithOverFear #KingdomChurch #MorgantownWV #WestVirginia #BodyOfChrist

Our lives as believers were never meant to be compartmentalized, but all too often we find ourselves closing off certain areas to God. Pastor Shawn teaches us that when we invite God into every part of our lives, we can break free from the struggle of control.

Pastors Billy, Pastor Brett, and Pastor Marco discuss Pastor Shawn's sermon series “Without a Doubt,” centered on staying rooted in Christ amid distractions and false ideas. Using Colossians 2:6–10, they emphasize practical preparation by knowing Scripture deeply and applying it rather than relying on feelings or quick gratification. They highlight James 1:19–25 on being doers of the Word, taking thoughts captive, and serving others as faith in action, sharing examples from ministry where God equips people as they step out. They also cover spreading the truth from 2 Timothy 4:1–5, noting the role of believers to sow seeds while the Holy Spirit changes hearts. The episode closes with a prayer of salvation based on Romans 10:9.

In Week Two of The Jesus Way, Senior Pastor Shawn McGill continues through Colossians 3 and challenges us to consider what it really looks like for Jesus to change the way we live, treat people, and respond to the world around us. As we become more like Jesus, His character should begin to show up in our everyday lives. Pastor Shawn walks through Paul's call to “clothe yourselves” with qualities like mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, forgiveness, and above all, love. The Jesus Way isn't another self-help plan—it's allowing God to renew us from the inside out until the way we live begins to look more and more like Him. -------------------------- We are Lifepoint Church located in Louisville, Kentucky.

Every believer needs the power of the Holy Spirit active in their life. This week, Pastor Shawn dives into the doing gifts. Let's discover together how God might use these gifts to accomplish His divine purposes through you.

Life is full of “what ifs,” but Psalm 23 gives us a “surely.” Pastor Shawn reminds us that even when we do not know what the future holds, we can trust the Shepherd who leads us.

Paul's encounter with the philosophers of Athens and his subsequent sermon on Mars Hill is the centerpiece of the book of Acts. Here we see God going toe-to-toe with the wise debaters of the age as He speaks through Paul to reveal His person, His will for mankind, and the truth of how He will ultimately bring human history to a close. In this first part of a two-part sermon, Pastor Shawn examines the dangers of idolatry and God's solution in Christ.

In the valleys of life, it's natural to have questions about how long the struggle will last, whether we have the strength to make it through, and whether we are truly alone. Pastor Shawn uses Psalm 23 to remind us that the Shepherd is always with us, and even in the darkest shadows, His presence and light remain.

Who is the Holy Spirit, and why does He matter in the life of every believer? In this message, we explore who the Holy Spirit is, His place within the Trinity, and His purpose in empowering us to live boldly for Christ. Learn how the Holy Spirit equips us to be faithful witnesses and experience God's power in our everyday lives.

Pastor Shawn welcomes Logan and Pastor Billy and discuss a clip from Chad's recent sermon describing fear as a demonic spirit meant to disqualify believers and stop them from God's purpose. They reflect on Chad's experience rescuing people in wartime situations and his point that everyday responsibilities—like fatherhood and leading nonprofits—can feel just as frightening. Logan shares how overcoming fear during an altar call led him back to God and into serving at the church, while Pastor Billy recounts facing intense fear through dozens of surgeries and becoming an amputee, learning to trust God repeatedly. The conversation frames fear as the enemy's weapon that paralyzes or delays obedience, contrasts fear with faith using scriptures (Philippians 4:13, 2 Timothy 1:7, Joshua 1:9), and ends with a prayer inviting listeners to accept Jesus and find freedom from fear.

God gave us all appetites, and what we hunger for, we will pursue and ultimately be shaped by. Pastor Shawn teaches us how fasting and prayer can reshape our appetites and cultivate a holy hunger within us.

In the final message of our **Wise Up** series, we explore the incredible benefits of godly wisdom found in Proverbs and ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ (John 14:6). Discover how walking in God's wisdom brings healing, lasting rest, and favor as we grow closer to Him. Join us as we conclude this series by seeing that true wisdom isn't just about knowing what's right—it's about knowing Christ, in whom every blessing is found.

What happens when the church stops speaking the truth? Pastor Shawn Newberry joins me for an honest conversation about faithful leadership, biblical truth, the role of Christians in politics, and why too many believers have confused passivity with faithfulness. We talk about public schools, voting, the church's responsibility in the culture, and why now is the time for Christians to get off the sidelines and onto the battlefield. If you've ever wondered whether your faith should shape the way you engage with the world around you, this conversation is for you.My Freedom CartSupport businesses that share your values.

Welcome to worship at UCC Southbury. Today's message, “Found in the Search,” reflects on Luke 15:1–10, the parables of the lost sheep and the lost coin. These are not just Hallmark card stories but living images that reveal how God searches for us and how Scripture can act as a mirror to our souls.We will explore what it means to notice what is missing in our lives, to let the light of God's Word shine on us, to patiently sweep through the clutter of our hearts, and to rejoice when even the smallest part of us is found. Pastor Shawn also shares his own story of going after the “one” that felt lost and how the Spirit continues to guide that search.Wherever you are on your journey, whether wandering, weary, or feeling found, this service is for you. Join us as we worship, pray, and celebrate the God who never stops searching until we are home.

In this series, we explore the wisdom found in the book of Proverbs. This week, Pastor Shawn explores what it looks like to work as a sacred act of worship. If you want to bring more meaning to your 9-5, this message is for you.

In this message, Pastor Shawn continues the Set Free series by walking through Galatians 1:11–24 and showing the life-changing power of the true Gospel of grace. Paul's testimony reminds us that salvation is not Jesus plus anything, but Jesus alone. Through his dramatic transformation from persecutor to preacher, we see that only God can rewrite a life and that grace both saves us and sends us. This message calls us to lay down striving, stop trying to earn what Christ has already finished, and live fully in the freedom of grace. If this message encourages you, share it, and let us know how God is moving in your life.Scriptures Used:Galatians 1:9Galatians 1:11–24Acts 8:1Acts 8:3Acts 9:10Acts 13Galatians 1:13–14Galatians 1:15–16Philippians 3Ephesians 1:4Titus 2:11Romans 6:14Colossians 2:14Jude 1:4Romans 6:1–2Romans 10:9Linkscalvarymd.comcalvarymd.com/givefacebook.com/calvaryfrederick

In this series, we explore the wisdom found in the book of Proverbs. Financial principals are easy to understand, but much harder to apply. If you're ready to stop the cycle of bad money decisions and start building financial peace, this message is for you.

In this episode of In The Room, Pastor Shawn, Pastor Billy, and Jean discuss Pastor Troys message “Blessed on Purpose for a Purpose,” emphasizing that prosperity can test believers more than adversity and that blessings are meant to flow through us to honor God and serve others. They reference Matthew 6:33 and examples from Genesis 12:2 about Abraham being blessed to bless others, along with Noah's obedience and gifting to build as a means of saving humanity. The conversation highlights focus, gratitude, stewardship, prayer, and staying grounded through the Word, worship, church commitment, and disciplined consistency in a compromised world. Gene shares using unexpected finances to help someone else, and Pastor Billy shares how giving to those in need preceded receiving a truck. The episode closes with Pastor Billy urging viewers to choose Jesus and praying for salvation.

Parenting doesn't happen by accident; every child is being formed, either with intention or by default. Pastor Shawn challenges us to shape the next generation in wisdom, identity, relationships, and faith, while reminding us that our influence is greatest when we model what we hope to see in them.

Week 11 of our Ephesians series brings us to Ephesians 6:10–20 and Paul's reminder that the battle is real—but we were never meant to fight it in our own strength. God equips His people to stand firm against the spiritual forces and worldly principles that oppose His truth and pull us away from His Word. In this message, we'll see how true strength comes from the Lord and how a life of prayer helps us remain faithful and steadfast in the fight.

We're in week 10 of our Ephesians series bringing us to Ephesians 5:22–6:4 as we continue exploring how the Gospel shapes everyday life and relationships. In this message, we take a look at God's design for the home and the practical instruction Paul gives to families. Through this passage, we're reminded that Christ-centered relationships are built on love, honor, humility, and obedience to God. Join us as we continue our journey through the book of Ephesians, one chapter at a time.

What if the problem in our conflict is deeper than the argument itself? Pastor Shawn teaches from the book of James on the desires that drive our fights and the humility that allows God's grace to restore our relationships.

This week in our journey through Ephesians, we're diving into chapter 4 and what it means to be a family that works together. God has uniquely designed each of us with a role to play, gifts to grow, and a purpose that strengthens the Church. When we learn to serve together in unity, we begin to reflect the fullness of Christ in a powerful way.

Pastor Shawn, Jacob, and Pastor Marco discuss how everyday actions sow seeds that later produce impact, including Pastor Marco's Mexico missions detour where the team blessed an 18-year-old named Christian and helped reunite him with his praying mother, and Jacob's testimony of leading worship that planted faith in his mom and family, leading to prayer and her confession of Jesus before she passed. They share examples of unseen influence, children grasping that God's love is free, and the importance of passing obedience and honor to the next generation. The conversation highlights Galatians 6:7, faithful sowing in small acts, and unexpected provision.

While sin is part of the human experience, generational patterns of sin can often feel overwhelming to confront. Pastor Shawn reminds us that although these patterns can run deep in our families, God's love runs deeper still and is powerful enough to break them.

God never intended for us to simply survive or arrive; spiritual growth is a lifelong journey of becoming who He created us to be in Christ. Pastor Shawn challenges us to seek out people who can pour wisdom into our lives, while also stepping up to mentor and encourage others so that what God pours into us can flow through us.

Jesus both commanded and modeled baptism, yet insecurities and questions can keep us from taking this step of obedience. Pastor Shawn unpacks how baptism symbolizes burying your old self so you can be raised to new life.

On this episode of In The Room we have Pastor Shawn, Jonah, and Pastor Marco discussing “clogged pipelines” that keep prayers from being effective, prompting a heart check for issues like rebellion, unforgiveness, wrong motives, and unrepented sin. They emphasize prayer as essential to relationship with God and reference John 16:24 about asking in Jesus' name. Jonah shares how God quickly provided a reliable car after a breakdown, highlighting gratitude and contentment, while Pastor Marco recalls his daughter's illness and the encouragement of church intercession. The group explains general prayer, supplication, and intercessory prayer, stresses praying together, and talks about trusting God's timing, including when the answer is “no.” Thank you all for joining us, have a blessed day!

Greed is often easier to see in others than in ourselves, yet our culture constantly pressures us to believe that what we have is never enough. Through the story of the rich fool, Pastor Shawn reminds us that a truly full life comes not from accumulating more, but from recognizing God as our source, giving Him our first, and living rich toward Him rather than toward possessions.
