Where Are We On The Journey? | Rev. Josh McDonald

Going Before You Are Ready | Rev. Carrie Veal

"What if God calls us before we're ready? Rev. Carrie Veal explores Matthew 28:16-20, discipleship, community, and the Great Commission in this inspiring sermon from Second Baptist Church."  Most of us spend our lives waiting until we're ready. Ready for a new job. Ready for a big decision. Ready for a calling. But in Matthew 28:16-20, Jesus sends the disciples into the world before they feel prepared. They still have doubts. They still have questions. Yet Jesus entrusts them with the work of building communities marked by healing, belonging, compassion, and hope. In this thoughtful message, Rev. Carrie Veal explores how discipleship isn't about having all the answers. It's about saying yes to Jesus, trusting the community around us, and discovering that God can work through us long before we feel ready. Scripture: Matthew 28:16-20 Preacher: Rev.

Is It Time? | Rev. Carrie Veal

In this sermon from Acts 1:6-14, Rev. Carrie Veal explores the disciples’ question to Jesus: “Lord, is it time?” As the church stands between resurrection and Pentecost, Jesus redirects the disciples away from fear, certainty, and control — and toward the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. This message reflects on nostalgia, anxiety, division, compassion, and the kind of community the Spirit is still forming today. Rather than escaping the world, followers of Jesus are invited to engage it with courage, connection, and hope.
