Merge.ChurchCorinthians | Part 1 | Pastor Jacob HowellThis sermon introduces 2 Corinthians by explaining the conflict Paul faced with false teachers who questioned his authority and used his suffering to discredit him. In response, Paul reminds the church that God often works powerfully through weakness, just as He did through Christ. Focusing on 2 Corinthians 1:3–6, the message highlights God as the “Father of mercies” and “God of all comfort.” True comfort comes from God, especially in trials, and the comfort we receive equips us to comfort others. Paul models worship in the midst of hardship, showing that praise is not circumstantial but rooted in who God is and what He ha...

Merge.ChurchGradually Then Suddenly | Part 4 | Pastor Jacob HowellSpiritual growth doesn’t happen through feelings alone, but through consistent obedience. Jesus teaches that hearing God’s Word without putting it into practice is like building without a foundation. This message reminds us that discipline often comes before desire, and obedience creates the space where God meets us. Using the example of Jesus’ own life, the sermon challenges us to adopt a lifelong posture of growth—mentally, physically, spiritually, and relationally. Growth requires clear goals, accountability, and a willingness to stretch beyond comfort. Faith is trained, not tried. Stay faithful in the small, consistent steps. God works gradually… then sudde...

Merge.ChurchGradually Then Suddenly | Part 3 | Pastor Jacob HowellThis message reminds us that God’s work is accomplished not by our might or power, but by His Spirit. Drawing from the story of Zerubbabel, we’re encouraged not to despise small beginnings, to face life’s mountains with faith, and to trust God in seasons of gradual progress that often lead to sudden breakthrough. Learn the difference between working hard and striving, how to move forward with a pure heart, and why obedience often requires saying “yes” before knowing the outcome. When we stop relying on ourselves and fully trust the Spirit, God turns obstacles into opportunities and vision...

Merge.ChurchGradually Then Suddenly | Part 2 | Pastor Jacob HowellSpiritual growth doesn’t happen overnight—it happens gradually, through consistent obedience and daily disciplines, until God turns it into a “suddenly.” Drawing from Scripture and stories like David’s unseen preparation before Goliath, this message reminds us that maturity is trained, not discovered, and legacy is built through thousands of faithful choices. In a culture obsessed with instant results, God calls us to consistency—because faith isn’t mystical, it’s practiced, and discipline always outlasts talent.

Merge.ChurchGradually Then Suddenly | Part 1 | Pastor Jacob HowellThis message explores how God works gradually, then suddenly. Through the story of the Exodus, the domino effect of faith, and the courage of ordinary people. We’re reminded that small, unseen acts of obedience matter deeply to God. What feels insignificant today may be the first domino in a chain reaction that impacts generations. As we step into 2026, we’re challenged not to despise small beginnings, to trust God’s timing, and to “own our domino,” knowing that faithful obedience today prepares the way for a divine suddenly tomorrow.Welcome to our podcast of Merge.Church in Van Bur...
