    Love | Adam Brewer | Southwest Church

    What if the perfect gift isn't what you're expecting? This week on Southwest Church Sermons, Adam Brewer walks through one of the most profound moments in Scripture—when the wise men finally found Jesus. But what they discovered wasn't a royal palace or a powerful king. It was a baby in his mother's arms. And their response teaches us something radical about what real love actually looks like. In this episode, you'll hear why the gift of Jesus is fundamentally different from every other gift we give or receive. It tells a story about who God is and who you are to Him. It's completely undeserved. And it lasts—no matter what comes your way. What You'll Take Away: • Why the gift of Jesus tells the story of God's love in a way nothing else can • How grace works differently than the trades and exchanges we're used to • What it means that God's love for you is unchanging, no matter your circumstances • Why the wise men's response of worship is the only appropriate response to this gift • How to move from just knowing about Jesus to actually accepting His gift The Real Question: Most of us have heard the Christmas story our whole lives. But have you actually accepted the gift that's being offered? This message challenges you to stop treating Jesus like a nice tradition and start treating Him like the life-changing gift He actually is. Listen if you're: Wondering if God's love is really for youStruggling with shame or feeling like you're not "good enough"Searching for something that actually lastsReady to move from belief to commitment LINKS Visit Southwest Church: https://www.swfamily.org/ Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/swfamily1/ Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SouthwestChurch/

    Waiting for Peace | Lane Luttrell | Southwest Church

    The holiday season often feels less like "peace on earth" and more like a hurricane of stress, busyness, and anxiety. Whether you're waiting on a difficult test result, praying for a loved one to return to Christ, or just navigating the daily chaos, how do you find calm when the storm is raging around you? College Minister Lane Luttrel challenges the common misconception that peace is a passive state. Drawing from the story of Simeon in Luke 2, he shows us that true spiritual peace—the kind that rescues and comforts—is found not in waiting for Jesus, but in actively pursuing Him. This message reminds us that the promise of peace is already fulfilled, and it's available even in the eye of your personal storm. In this episode, you will explore: How Simeon’s decades of devout waiting prepared him to receive the Messiah.The biblical truth that peace is an active pursuit, not a passive expectation.The difference between being a "peacekeeper" and a "peacemaker" in your daily life.Practical steps to remove the obstacles—like pride and excuses—that block reconciliation.The profound promise of "peace, peace to those far and near" from the prophet Isaiah.Stop waiting for the storm to pass to find rest. This message will equip you to seek out and create peace in your relationships and circumstances, allowing you to experience comfort and rescue this Advent season. If you are seeking the peace that only Christ offers, press play. Southwest Church is a Christ-centered family in Jonesboro, AR, making disciples for Jesus.

    Hope | Adam Brewer | Southwest Church

    When life feels like Isaiah 8—distressed, confused, and filled with fearful gloom—it’s easy to confuse biblical hope with a simple wish. Are you keeping your hope in Jesus tucked away on a shelf, like fancy Christmas china you're afraid to use? Minister Adam Brewer challenges us to understand that true hope is not a wish for a better future, but a solid, secure anchor for your soul right here, right now. This message grounds the Advent promise of light in the reality of our present darkness, showing how to move from desperation to daily peace. Key Takeaways: The three faithful steps for navigating hopeless situations: Cry out to God, wait faithfully, and anchor yourself to his solid Word.Why biblical hope is described as "firm and secure" (Hebrews 6:19), not a mere dream or wish.How the promise of light in Isaiah 9 gives essential context to the darkness described in Isaiah 8.The difference between saying "I sure hope so" and living with a "living hope" that fills you with peace and joy today (Romans 15:13).Stop waiting for things to get better before you experience God's peace. This sermon will equip you to live with an overflowing, tangible hope that stands up to the waves of life. If this message resonates with you, share it with a friend who needs an anchor today.

    Series: Made to Work | Working for the King: No Ghost Working in Your Mission Field

    Do you ever feel like you’re just going through the motions at work, counting down the minutes until quitting time? We all know the pressure to look busy—a modern phenomenon Adam calls "ghost working"—but what happens when that attitude creeps into our spiritual lives? This week, Adam challenges us to re-examine the Parable of the Talents and a modern mindset that keeps us from serving. He argues that faithful responsibility means taking the resources and position God has given you—whether in a corporate office or at home—and maximizing those opportunities for His glory. Your job is not just a paycheck; it's a mission field ripe for harvest. Key Takeaways from the Sermon: The danger of spiritual "ghost working" and the fear of failure that leads to inaction (Matthew 25).Why the Master values faithfulness and effort over the sheer amount produced in our labor.A practical example of turning an ordinary workplace into a mission field (The story of Christina at First Community Bank).Jesus' unexpected "food": finding sustenance and energy in doing the Father's work (John 4).Why the harvest is always ready, and procrastination is a luxury we can’t afford.Stop making excuses and start seeing the harvest that is ripe all around you today. This message will inspire you to be a worker who is ready to hear the Master say, "Well done, good and faithful servant." If this message resonates, share it with a coworker or friend who needs encouragement this week.

    Series: Made to Work | "Beyond the Job"

    What if you're asking God the wrong question about your work? Most of us are stuck staring at a blank canvas, waiting for God to tell us exactly what to do with our lives. But what if that's not how calling actually works? In this episode, Adam Brewer challenges the idea that you need a dramatic, direct calling from God to know your purpose—and offers something more practical and liberating instead. Whether you're figuring out your first career move, wrestling with a job change, or wondering if what you do matters, this sermon reframes how you think about work and calling. Adam walks through what the Bible actually says about vocation, why most of us have it backwards, and how to know if the work you're doing—whatever it is—can align with your faith. What You'll Hear: • Why a universal calling matters more than you think • How to tell if your work can glorify God (and what to do if it can't) • The difference between a direct calling and the calling every Christian receives • Five questions to ask about any job or career path • How Jesus reframes work for his followers—without asking you to quit This isn't about finding the "perfect" job. It's about understanding that God has already called you to something, and that changes everything about how you work tomorrow.
