MGCLT Sermons
In Luke 14:25-33, Jesus issues a bunch of hyperbolic statements cautioning all show would follow him that there is a cost to be paid in walking his path. What is the cost?

Setting the Table
MGCLT Sermons
When you throw a party who is invited? Who is left out? Or even when you go to a dinner party where is it you expect to be seated? Social gatherings can come with so many expectations and obligations but what should those be in the Kindom that Jesus describes? Join us as we seek the answers to these questions and more at Missiongathering Charlotte.

Mother's Day 2022
MGCLT Sermons
There is so much we don't know about Jesus's Disciple Tabitha. But what we do know is she was not a prop or some background character. In an age where are trying to deconstruct a faith based on patriarchy and colonialism, Tabitha's witness and ministry offer us new insight into what could be possible for the future of the church by looking to its past. Join us as we celebrate this mother of the faith.

"Division" Sunday August 14th 2022
MGCLT Sermons
In the Gospel of Luke we have this passage where it seems like Jesus just goes off. He speaks about being a source of division not peace. What do we do with this passage in time where we seem so divided? How do we navigate and embrace the changes that need to come and avoid just playing at it? Join Missiongathering Charlotte as we seek to find these answers together.

"Searching for a Better City" August 7th 2022
MGCLT Sermons
The anonymous author of the book of Hebrews wrote to a community that had been through so much. They were tired, drained, and continually knocked down by the circumstances of their time. They were ready to leave this new Jesus movement because it seemed like it cost too much. In our own time, we know all too well the feeling of being knocked down over and over again. Whether it is the politics of our age, the looming threat of climate collapse, or simply the rise in the cost of living in this sick system, w

"The Fool" July 31st 2022
MGCLT Sermons
In the Gospel of Luke two brothers ask Jesus to settle a fight over an inheritance. Instead of resolving the dispute, Jesus tells a story about a man with a lot of grain. What about wealth or the lack thereof causes so much anxiety in us? Why is it that even in a time of abundance there is so much need? How can we navigate a time of inflation, climate collapse, and political turmoil to find a path forward where all people can flourish? Join us this Sunday as we attempt to ask better questions even if we do

Teach Us How To Pray
MGCLT Sermons
Teach us how to pray. What a loaded question. If you grew up like a lot of us did prayer was only for two things. First, it was to make sure God wasn’t mad at you and didn’t make you suffer eternally, and second, it was to get things that you wanted. It seems like so much of our disappointment in the Divine comes from this misunderstanding of prayer. What if there is something beyond magic words and formulas? What if Jesus taught his followers a simple prayer layered with meaning and transformative powe

Sunday July 17th 2022 "Urgent Not Anxious"
MGCLT Sermons
In the Gospel of Luke, there are two sisters. Both are leaders in the Jesus movement. Both are doing their best at the jobs they have chosen. But for one sister the stress of leading and caring for a whole village is burning her out and leaving her anxious. What if their story the one we all think we know could offer us a glimpse into our own moment in history? What if both medical treatment and spiritual practice could be a path to learning to live out of a sense of urgency instead of the shadow of anxiety
