Trinity United Methodist Church of Loveland, CO - Sermon Podcast

Every table tells a story about who belongs and who matters. Jesus challenges us to stop chasing places of honor and instead trust that God has already prepared a place for us. Along the way, we learn to notice those who are still waiting for an invitation.

Update from Pastor Bryson on a new appointment arrangement and new sermon schedule at TUMC.  Today's worship can be viewed in full on our YouTube Channel. 

Worry has a way of pulling us in a hundred different directions as we try to control an uncertain future. But Jesus offers a different path: instead of figuring out tomorrow, he invites us to seek God's Kingdom today and trust that God will meet us when tomorrow arrives.

What if success isn't what we've been taught it is? In Luke's Sermon on the Plain, Jesus reminds us that our value doesn't come from our job, money, or accomplishments, but from God's love for us. If you've ever felt like you weren't enough, this message offers hope and a new way to see yourself.

What if everything you've assumed about power, status, and significance is backwards? Mary's song, the Magnificat, introduces God's upside-down Kingdom, where the humble are lifted up and the world's ladders are torn down. Join us as we begin a journey through Luke's Gospel and discover life as God intended it to be.

Pastor Linda Meyer preaching

What do you do when life feels messy, confusing, or painful, and God seems silent? The Prophet Habakkuk, wrestles honestly with suffering, doubt, and the questions we all ask when the world doesn’t make sense. Even without clear answers, Habakkuk discovers that faith is sometimes just choosing to keep walking with God through the uncertainty.

What happens when faith becomes more about checking boxes than actually being changed? The Book of Micah imagines God’s people standing in a courtroom where their lives, not just their worship, are put on trial. At the center is Micah 6:8 and its call to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God.

The prophet Joel lives in the tension between cynicism and hope, forcing us to ask which voice ultimately shapes the way we see ourselves, the world, and God. His vision becomes the foundation for Pentecost, where God’s Spirit breaks into fearful, exhausted lives with dreams, visions, and the promise that what looks like an ending may actually be the beginning of something new.

Hosea tells the story of a broken family to show how people lose their way and start trusting the wrong things to give them meaning, security, and hope. But even when people fail, God keeps coming after them, healing what is broken and giving them a new beginning. In the end, the invitation is simple: stop letting other things define your worth and remember the name God already calls you—beloved.
