Week 10 - No Write Offs

Week 10 - No Write Offs

Have you ever quietly decided someone was too far gone? Too much baggage, too much history, too hostile to ever change? We've all written someone off — but Acts 9 tells the story of a man the entire early church had already given up on. And Jesus showed up anyway. In this message from our Church in Motion series, Pastor Stevan unpacks what happens when God refuses to write off the people we already have. No matter how far someone has drifted, how much damage has been done, or how impossible restoration seems — God's list looks different than ours. Watch this message and let it challenge the names and faces you've quietly removed from your prayers. Who has God put back on your list?

Week 9 - Redirected

In "Redirected," Pastor Stevan continues the Church in Motion series from Acts 8:26–40, exploring how God often leads His people through unexpected changes in direction. Through Philip’s encounter with the Ethiopian eunuch, Pastor Stevan reminds us that God’s redirections often reveal divine appointments, and that faithful obedience opens doors and opportunities we could never plan on our own.

Celebration Sunday 2026

On Celebration Sunday, Pastor Stevan reflects on God’s faithfulness at Hyde Wesleyan Church, celebrating stories of salvation, baptism, discipleship, generosity, and kingdom impact over the past year. Drawing from Acts 2:42–47, the message emphasizes that healthy churches are not built on statistics but on devotion—ordinary people continually saying “yes” to Jesus through worship, prayer, fellowship, discipleship, and obedience, resulting in transformed lives and a growing church.

Week 7 - Structure & Spirit

Pastor Stevan reflects on Acts 6–7 and the recent Wesleyan General Conference, reminding the church that healthy churches live in the tension between Spirit and structure. Through stories of denominational challenges, growth, and prayer, he encourages Hyde Wesleyan to embrace grace, unity, and dependence on the Holy Spirit as the church continues to grow and move forward together.

Week 6 - Growing Church

In this message from the “Church in Motion” series, Pastor Angel explores Acts 6:1–7 and reminds the church that growth happens when everyone embraces their role in serving. Through the example of the early church appointing seven Spirit-filled servants to care for overlooked widows, she emphasizes that every act of service—whether visible or behind the scenes—has kingdom value and helps move the mission of Jesus forward. Pastor Angel challenges believers to move beyond simply attending church and instead become active participants in the body of Christ, using their gifts faithfully wherever God calls them. With personal stories and practical encouragement, she highlights that true impact comes not from recognition, but from humble obedience and a willingness to say “yes” to serving others for God’s glory.
