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

Hundreds if not thousands of co-laborers in Christ from all over the globe will be flying i

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!

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

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.
