This Sunday was a day of great thanksgiving for all that the Lord accomplished through Austin Global Methodist Church and all he will do through us in the future. We concluded our sermon series, “Building a Godly Heritage”, by giving thanks in advance for the amazing future ahead of us. We turned in our building campaign pledges and several people joined the church. All glory to God! As we enter Thanksgiving week, let us continue in a spirit of gratefulness. I pray that each

We had yet another great week of worship and ministry at Austin Global Methodist Church. On Thursday, we attended the Concordia Choir Concert and sent them off on their tour with tons of snacks. Several ladies made the trip to 1st Methodist Church of Waco for the ANEW ladies conference. It was a time of worship, fellowship, and refreshment. This Sunday, we continued our sermon series, “Building a Godly Heritage” by considering Kingdom math and what it looks like when we inves

This Sunday was a beautiful service. We honored our Veterans who served this great nation and prayed for those still serving. We also started our Building Fund Campaign. It was a hope-filled, faith-centered challenge. I encourage our congregation members to 1) pray about how to serve at the church 2) what to give to the church to help build a godly heritage. This past week, five Austin Global Methodist members went to the Wall Shakers Prayer Retreat in Clayton, Oklahoma to sp

All Saints Remembrance Sunday was a beautiful, hope-filled service. It was a time to remember the friends and family we lost this past year and remember the hope we have because Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life. We also celebrated the MidTexas Board of Ministry’s decision to ordain Pastor Azar as a Deacon and Elder in the Global Methodist Church. We took Holy Communion together as a church and had our monthly post-communion prayer service. It was a blessed day. For the

Austin Global Methodist Church continued their one-year anniversary celebration at Camino Real with over 95 people present, including previous guest pastors and our Presiding Elder, Rev. Adam Thornton. It was a blessed time of fellowship. No one can say we don’t have fun at our church! We also worshipped with the students at Concordia University on Thursday night at their Refuge Worship Night. We provided the snacks and the students did the music and preaching. Campus Pastor

Austin Global Methodist Church celebrated their 1st birthday as a church. All glory to God! This past Sunday, we concluded our sermon series on the Book of Matthew, “Thy Kingdom Come”, on the Great Commission by unveiling our core values, mission statement, vision statement, and core beliefs. We are a church on a mission! This week will be an action-packed week for the church. On Wednesday, we will continue celebrating our birthday at Camino Real Mexican Restaurant from 5-7pm

Reading Plan: Matthew 28:16-20 Wow! What a glorious celebration of the resurrection of King Jesus we had this past Sunday at Austin Global Methodist Church. Because he lives, we can face tomorrow. The same mission that was given to the women at the tomb has been given to us: do not be afraid and go and tell! The tomb is empty and the King is alive! This next Sunday will conclude our sermon series, “Thy Kingdom Come”, with the final words of Jesus before his ascension. Before

Reading Plan: Matthew 28:1-15 He is risen! He is risen, indeed! I don’t think we could ever say that enough. The empty cross and the empty grave give us our hope as believers. Because Jesus is risen, we have hope for today and hope for tomorrow. Thank you, Jesus! This past Sunday was World Communion Sunday. We focused on the final Passover meal that Jesus celebrated with his disciples, a foreshadow of his death on the cross. In Christ’s death, the Passover finds its fulfillme

Reading Plan: Matthew 26-27 This past Sunday, we celebrated the King of kings, with a bonus Palm Sunday. Palm branches were waved, accompanied by shouts of, “Hosanna! Lord, save us!” We praised the Lord together but we learned that we cannot just say the right things and do the right things, we must believe the right things about Jesus and share it. Jesus is King! This next week, let’s read Matthew 26-27 together in preparation for the upcoming sermon, “Wounded for Our Transg

Reading Plan: Matthew 21-25 This past Sunday the presence of the Holy Spirit met us. I marvel at him working in our midst. This week the challenge was to pray for Jesus to reveal to us HOW to build his Church and HOW to be his Church. We want to storm the gates of hell and build a church worthy of his name. Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, in Austin as it is in Heaven! This next week, let’s read Matthew 21-25 together in preparation for the upcoming sermon, “Hosanna!” We w

Reading Plan: Matthew 16-20 This past Sunday was such a treat. We were blessed to host Rev. Dr. Margarita Todorova of Bulgaria, our sister conference. She and two other Bulgarian pastors have been on a whirlwind, Texas tour before flying to Costa Rica for General Conference. This week, please be in prayer for the upcoming and inaugural General Conference of the Global Methodist Church. Hundreds if not thousands of co-laborers in Christ from all over the globe will be flying i

Reading Plan: Matthew 14-15 This week, 101 plus people worshipped together in the Black Box Theater at Concordia. It was an awesome time of learning and worship together.

Dr. Margarita will preach this week and tell of the good work going on in our sister conference in Bulgaria. This month our mission focus will for the Bulgar

Featuring Rev. Lauren Yates September 2, 2024 Episode, "Miracles" We worship a miracle working God. That's the main focus of Shea and Jason's second conversation with Lauren Yates. For the unplanned, part two of their conversation, Lauren shares a few miracle stories that God worked through the Wall Shakers Prayer workshops. This podcast is less of a conversation and more of a clarion call for the church to pray and seek the miracle working power of God no matter the outcomes

Reading Plan: Matthew 11-13 This week, we continued our sermon series on the Book of Matthew called “Thy Kingdom Come” and focused on the amazing miracles of Jesus. We serve a miracle working God! We celebrated Holy Communion and had a time of prayer for healing afterwards. We believe in the power of prayer at Austin GMC! Our church is now offering THREE Sunday school options: the Wesleyan Class- Book of Romans (9:30am in the Annex), Follow the Healer (9:00am in the Chapel Cl

Reading Plan: Matthew 8-10 This week, we continued our new sermon series on the Book of Matthew called “Thy Kingdom Come” and you all heard the BEST SERMON EVER! Not mine! We learned from Jesus’ “Sermon on the Mount”. Jesus’ sermon was the perfect explanation of the Law of Moses. His very life showed that he came to be the fulfillment of the Law. The challenge was to live out the Sermon on the Mount with a heart of love and with the help of the Holy Spirit. We also had a spec

Reading Plan: Matthew 5-7 This week, we continued our new sermon series on the Book of Matthew called “Thy Kingdom Come” and focused on the baptism of Jesus and his victory in the wilderness. Jesus humbly submitted to baptism, emptied himself of self in the desert, and resisted temptation to emerge victorious from the wilderness. Jesus is the walking, living breathing Word made flesh. He alone is qualified to be King and Messiah. Next Sunday, we will continue looking for the

Reading Plan: Matthew 3-4 This past Sunday, we began a new sermon series on the Book of Matthew called “Thy Kingdom Come” and celebrated Christmas early in August. We also sent our school staff and students off with back to school blessings. We are committed to praying for them throughout the school year. Next Sunday, we will continue looking for the King in the Book of Matthew. We will see Jesus preparing for his Messianic ministry through baptism and facing temptation in th

Week One of “Thy Kingdom Come” Reading Plan: Matthew 1-2 This past Sunday, we finished our first sermon series, “Revive Us Again,” a deep dive into the Book of Nehemiah. We learned about the importance of repentance, returning to the ancient path, rebuilding what the enemy tried to destroy, and recommitting ourselves to revival. Our prayer is that with the help of the Holy Spirit, revival will begin in our hearts, in our church, and spread to Austin and beyond. Starting Sunda

Dear Austin Global Methodist Church, On July 14th, we started our first sermon series, “Revive Us Again”, a deep dive into the Book of Nehemiah. So far, we have learned about the importance of repentance, returning to the ancient path, and rebuilding what the enemy tried to destroy. This week’s challenge is to ensure that our hearts and minds are set to work to build something for the Kingdom of Christ. One day we will build an actual church building of our own. We will all b
