Believe the Opportunity

November 30, 2025 • Dr. Tom Pace • Isaiah 9:3–7

This Advent sermon launches a series called "A Party for a King," challenging listeners to genuinely believe God's promise that Christ is coming and His kingdom will be established. Using the imaginative scenario of hosting Elvis Presley in 1956, Pastor Tom Pace illustrates our natural skepticism when faced with extraordinary invitations. He emphasizes that hope is not wishful thinking but a deliberate choice to believe God's promises despite contrary evidence. This hope provides both a destination for our lives and conquers the apathy that keeps us from doing the necessary work of faith. The sermon calls believers to move beyond cynicism and embrace the prophetic vision that God will make all things right—ending oppression, bringing justice, and establishing endless peace through Christ's kingdom.

What Does it Take to Build a Church? | Dr. Tom Pace Preaching | 2025.11.09

November 9, 2025 • Dr. Tom Pace • Ephesians 2:19–22

In 1945, a group of leaders gathered to establish a new church, aiming to serve the entire west end of Houston. The first worship service drew 450 attendees, signaling community optimism. But what does it take to build a church? First, a church must be grounded on Christ as the cornerstone—not as a symbolic gesture, but as the foundational reference point from which everything else takes its alignment. Second, a church must be connected, a family, a place where everyone can come in and be welcomed. Third, the church is never finished. It is an ongoing project, with hopes for future growth and a legacy for generations to come.
