"Not Finished at the Font" | Pastor Aaron

Wesley Church Podcast

Too often, we treat baptism and confirmation like something we “finish”—when Scripture shows us they are where faith truly begins. In Matthew’s account of Jesus’ baptism, the water is not the conclusion of his story, but the launch of his public ministry. This sermon invites us to remember our baptism not as a past moment, but as a present calling—naming us, claiming us, and commissioning us to live as God’s beloved people in the world.

"Are You a Good Looker?" | Pastor Aaron

Wesley Church Podcast

At the beginning of a new year, we often focus on looking good—but Epiphany invites us to consider whether we’re actually looking in the right direction. In Matthew 2, the Magi follow the star faithfully, but danger enters the story when assumptions replace attention to God’s leading, while those who knew the Scriptures best never made the short journey to see Jesus for themselves. This sermon challenges us to ask what we’re fixing our eyes on in 2026 and invites us, like the wise men, to kneel in worship and follow the light Christ gives—one faithful step at a time.

Wesley Church Podcast

This sermon connects the space-age hope of the 1960s, the promise of Isaiah 65, and Jesus’ call in Mark 13 to remind us what Advent is truly about. We don’t deny the brokenness around us—Advent teaches us to hope right through it, to live as if God’s future is already breaking in. It all centers on one question: Do you see what I see?

Week 3: Require 

Micah 6:8- "He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." 

The Book of Micah delivers a message of both judgment and hope. Micah confronts Israel and Judah for their injustice, idolatry, and exploitation of the vulnerable. He warns that their actions will lead to destruction, yet he also proclaims that God will not abandon His people forever. In the midst of this, Micah reveals what God truly requires: not empty rituals, but a life of justice, mercy, and humility. Ultimately, the book points to a future where God will restore His people and reign in peace from Zion. 

The thing to know: God doesn’t hand out prescriptions, but if we choose to live a life of returning to God, there are some requirements that make the return more rich. 

The thing to do: Commit not to what you will get in return, but commit to God all that you will put in to the relationship
