Epiphany Church Sermons

Paul reminds us that the Christian life is full of gains and losses, ups and downs, but the true prize is knowing Christ. He redefines success by counting everything else as loss compared to the surpassing worth of intimacy with Jesus. This sermon will call us to press forward with maturity, not complacency, keeping Christ at the center no matter what comes our way.

This sermon reminds us that behind human conflict and brokenness there is an unseen spiritual battle. Satan is real, he schemes, and his goal is to deceive, divide, and destroy. But God gives us armor and weapons so we can stand firm in victory.

Main Scripture - John 2:23–3:16 Supporting Scripture - Matthew 7:21-23 Luke 8:11-15 This sermon is intended to ignite believers to give Jesus their all. It is a call not to settle for a superficial faith but to walk in an allegiance that shows up every single day.

Romans 8:29-30 NKJV “A couple of weeks back we spoke about the idea of Moving Forward. That our faith is one of maturation, movement and progression. However if Joshua 3 was about why we should move forward, Romans 8 is about how we can move forward. I want to argue that we can have confidence in the future because of what God has already accomplished in the past. What has God accomplished? According to text, before the foundations of the earth God has ensured that your faith will not fail. In this life you may be subject to losing a lot of things but one thing you can't afford to lose in your faith. Yet God is such a God that He not only gives us faith to believe but takes on the responsibility to sustain our faith to keep us believing. This sermon we will be exploring how God displays His marvelous keeping power over our lives."

Deuteronomy 6:7-15 (ESV) It is not always easy to navigate decision-making as a Christian. In addition to the regular challenges that test our faith, we are almost constantly bombarded by distractions, temptations and idols that masquerade as viable alternatives to God. In this passage, Moses gives us practical recommendations to grow our love for God in the midst of a chaotic world — reminding us that love, not legalism, is the key to obedience.

Deuteronomy 6:4-6 (ESV Who is God? Exodus 3:14-15 (ESV) Who Am I? Matthew 22:36-40 (ESV) What does God want from me? Hebrews 10:15-17 (ESV) God engineered us to be in loving relationships with Him and one another. But if we’re not vigilant, the difficulties of the human experience can thwart and dull our love for God. God’s gracious love for us is immeasurable and unconditional. We must always do our best to love Him back.

Before the cross, Jesus stepped into the Garden of Gethsemane, a place of crushing and surrender. In this message, we witness the Savior who gave His all and discover how His obedience in the garden still brings rest, strength, and victory to our lives today.

A life of faith is a truly life of adventure. It’s a life where you continuously have to say yes to God. Today, our sermon is not about God’s decision to deliver you but it’s about your decision to follow Him. This text in Joshua shows us that God has a promise place prepared for the children of Israel. But in order to see the promise Israel has to move forward. I believe this text is prophetic for our church, God has a promise prepared for us to receive but in order to see it’ll take the church deciding to believe in faith and move forward

Joy In Serving Others | Pastor Lionel King | 25.07.27 by Epiphany Church Brooklyn

This passage gives us one of the clearest pictures of the gospel in the Old Testament. Mephibosheth was broken, unqualified, and living in hiding, yet the King sought him out and gave him a seat at the table. That is what grace does. It finds us, welcomes us, and covers us.

We often separate what we do for a living from our walk with God, but Scripture doesn’t. From Bezalel building with excellence to Paul reminding us to work as unto the Lord, the Bible shows us that our work matters.

Prayer isn’t passive, it’s powerful. In this message, we will walk through James 5:13–20 to show how prayer activates healing, restoration, and bold faith. This is a word that reminds us that prayer still works.

Public displays of affection can be endeavoring for some and off-putting for others. We tend to avoid people who seem too flamboyant or extra in their gestures of appreciation. This passage showcases a woman who drops everything she has to worship at the feet of Jesus. The surrounding crowd is offended by her grand gesture. The irony being is it if they truly recognized Jesus and who He really is, they wouldn't be judging her but joining her. This passage shows us that there are two types of people that worship God, people who do too much and others who do too little.

We live in a culture that hates waiting, but God often does His deepest work in the seasons we want to skip. In James 5, we’re commanded not just to endure, but to be patient, to work, trust, and stay faithful in the middle of the wait. Real growth doesn’t happen when life is easy, but when we surrender to God’s timing and trust that He’s in control.

In a culture obsessed with influence and image, James reminds us that God doesn’t play favorites—and neither should we. This message challenges us to confront the subtle ways we show partiality and elevates mercy as the true mark of mature faith. Because in God’s Kingdom, grace outweighs status every time.

The Monday After Easter | James 1:19–27 The resurrection isn’t just a Sunday celebration—it’s a call to a new way of living. In this message, we look at how the empty tomb should transform our words, our actions, and our witness every day after.

In this sermon, we’re talking about the difference between trials and temptations — and why it matters. God uses trials to build us, but temptation comes when our own desires try to pull us away. If we aren’t aware of what’s happening in our hearts, we can end up hurting ourselves without even realizing it.

Life doesn’t always make sense—and sometimes God seems silent when we need Him most. In this sermon from James 1:1–8, we will unpack how trials shape our faith, deepen our patience, and drive us to pray with bold trust. If you're in a tough season, this message will help you lean on God even when it’s hard.

Sometimes God’s greatest guidance comes through His "No." In Acts 16, Paul and his team faced closed doors—not as setbacks, but as redirections toward something greater. This sermon will help you recognize that every closed door is often a setup for a clearer call and a greater purpose.

In “Loving People” (1 John 4:7-21), we explore how God’s love is not just something we receive but something we are called to reflect. True love is selfless, sacrificial, and rooted in God’s very nature—because God is love. This message challenges us to move beyond words and actively demonstrate God’s love in how we treat others, even when it’s difficult.
