Connecting Church

Walk Worthy - Ephesians 4:1-6

We live in a world that constantly pulls people apart. Politics, preferences, past hurts, opinions, and everyday pressures can divide us faster than we realize. But Jesus calls His church to something different. In this first message of our Better Together series, we walk through Ephesians 4:1–6 and ask: How can the church be unified when the world around us tries to pull us apart? Paul reminds us that unity is not something we create from scratch. It is something Jesus has already given us. He calls us to a new way of living together, forms the character that keeps us together, and provides the foundation for our unity. Jesus does not call us to win tug of war. He calls us to walk together. Join us Sundays at 10:00am 5 Church Creek Road Belcamp, MD 21017 www.myconnectingchurch.org

Going with God - Genesis 12:1-3

What do you do when God leads you into a new season? In Genesis 12:1-3, God calls Abram to leave behind what is familiar and trust Him with an unknown future. Abram's journey reminds us that following God often means stepping out in faith before we have all the answers. In this message, we explore three truths about following God into a new season: • We can follow God into the unknown. • We can trust God's promises. • We can become a blessing to others. Whether you are facing a major life transition, a new opportunity, uncertainty about the future, or simply learning to trust God more deeply, this message will encourage you to move forward in faith and confidence in God's goodness. www.myconnectingchurch.org

From This Day On - Haggai 2:10–23

In this final message from Haggai, we explore what it means to keep moving forward with God the right way. As God’s people rebuilt the temple, they had momentum and activity again, but God challenged them to look deeper at the condition of their hearts. Through Haggai 2:10–23, we see that spiritual progress is not just about staying busy or building outward success, but about having hearts aligned with God, learning from what He teaches us through difficult seasons, and trusting that He is still writing a bigger story than we can fully see. This message also marks a significant moment for Connecting Church as we celebrate graduates and prepare for our final Sunday at Edgewood before moving to Riverside. Whether you are facing uncertainty, transition, disappointment, or a new season of life, this sermon is a reminder that God is still working, still leading, and still building His kingdom through surrendered hearts and faithful obedience. www.myconnectingchurch.org

Something's Out of Order - Haggai 1

It’s possible to build a full life and still have everything out of order. In this message from Haggai 1, we look at a moment when God’s people were busy, productive, and moving forward… but something was off. They had delayed what mattered most, given God what was left, and over time, life stopped working the way it should. Sound familiar? This sermon explores three simple but challenging truths: -Don’t delay what matters most -Don’t give God the leftovers -Don’t ignore what life is telling you God’s people weren’t doing nothing, they were just doing life without putting God first. And when God isn’t first, even good things begin to break down. But this isn’t just a message of correction. It’s an invitation. God calls His people to reorder their lives, not out of guilt, but so they can experience the life He designed them for. If you’ve ever felt busy but empty, productive but frustrated, or like something just isn’t working—this message is for you. You don’t need a brand new life… you may just need to put things back in the right order. www.myconnectingchurch.org

Jesus Restores - John 21:15-25

We all fail. That’s not the surprising part. The real question is—what do you do next? In John 21, we see one of the most powerful moments in the life of Peter. After failing Jesus publicly and personally, he comes face to face with Him again. What happens next isn’t rejection… it’s restoration. In this message, we walk through how Jesus meets us in our failure, restores what’s broken, and calls us forward into a new future. If you’ve ever felt stuck in regret, weighed down by past mistakes, or unsure how to move forward, this message is for you. In this sermon: * Why failure doesn’t have to define your story * How Jesus restores instead of rejects * What it looks like to trust God with your future * Why comparison keeps you stuck * How to keep growing in your relationship with Jesus Failure is common… but moving forward from it is where we get stuck. The good news? Jesus doesn’t just forgive your past—He restores you and calls you forward. www.myconnectingchurch.org
