Be The Church: Change Agents | Sunday Service | September 13, 2026

What does it mean to be more than a churchgoer?

This gathering calls us into something far deeper than Sunday attendance. At its core, the message is a bold declaration that we are called to be change agents, people whose very presence shifts the spiritual atmosphere around them.

Drawing from 1 Corinthians 15, we are reminded that death has been swallowed up in victory, and that the resurrection of Jesus is not merely a historical event but a living reality that empowers us to look at every dead situation in our lives and declare that it has no final say.

The recurring cry that dead things come alive in the name of Jesus is not poetic sentiment. It is a theological statement about the nature of resurrection power available to every believer. Whether it is a broken relationship, a financial crisis, a lost sense of purpose, or a faith that has grown cold, the message is the same: the name of Jesus carries authority over every grave.

We are also brought face to face with Romans 8, which assures us that all things are working together for our good, not because life is painless, but because God is purposeful. The pressing and the crushing, like grapes being made into new wine, are not signs of abandonment. They are signs that God is forming something new.

This is a message for anyone who has felt the weight of difficulty and wondered whether God is still at work. He is. And the invitation is to yield, to open up, and to let him bring new wine out of what we have surrendered.
