Kingwood Methodist

Rev. John Wayne McMann | Do you perceive it?

John Wayne's last sermon at Kingwood United Methodist Church is taken from Isaiah 43:1-3; 16-21. As we transition out of the wilderness, so to speak, it is time for us to see what God is up to and join him in that work. In Isaiah 43, God not only promises to help the people in their wilderness but he promises to transform it. Maybe, this is the corporate encouragement we need in this time.

Dr. Burt Palmer | Relentless Pursuit

Elijah’s humanity and God’s character are on full display in this text from 1 Kings. We find the amazing truth that God relentlessly pursues us and a human tendency we all have when we respond in fear.

Dr. Burt Palmer | Temptation and Pentecost

As we move through the wilderness, we look to Christ, who was led into wilderness by the Holy Spirit. This isn’t about how we battle with temptation it is about the hope we find in How Christ never gave in to temptation.

Rev. John Wayne McMann | Obedience in the Wilderness

In the wilderness the Israelites learn about obedience and the faithfulness of God. Obedience can often be misconstrued to be something that is oppressive or demanding from God, when for the Israelites obedience was about witnessing to the world about God. This is not unlike our opportunity to shine God's light in the middle of the wilderness.

Rev. Clint Wyllie | Healer in the Wilderness

We all know that God provides water and Manna in the wilderness.  What what if God doesn’t just want to get you through it? What if he is using this season for so much more!

Rev. Chris Harrison | Exodus 14:1-22

Pastor Chris continues our series "Hope in the Wilderness," by taking us through a passage in Exodus where God protects the Israelites, and shows them that He is still moving even He seems quiet.

Dr. Burt Palmer | We Are Not Alone

This past Sunday, we launched our sermon series, “Wilderness: What Now?” As the Israelite people left Egypt and entered the wilderness, this passage reminds us that God was with the Hebrew people then, and God is with us now.

Dr. Burt Palmer | "Do you love Me?"

When Jesus asks Peter three times, "Do you love me?", He was not trying to bring Peter down; rather he was seeking to build him up again, to restore him in leadership.

Rev. John Wayne McMann | Trauma on the Road to Emmaus

After the resurrection, Jesus begins to appear to the disciples and this story of the appearance with the men on the road to Emmaus is one of the most memorable. There are some interesting things we can learn from the two men and how Jesus intervenes in their traumatic experiences.

Rev. John Wayne McMann | The Funeral Where Death Died

Easter Sunday is a celebration of God's victory over the grave and the promise for all of those in Christ. Today we complete the Becoming Lenten journey with this final "I am" statement: "I am the resurrection and the life." Jesus walks with his friends through tears and grief and then shows the fullness of his mission by bringing Lazarus back to life.
