Sermon from Trinity Methodist Church in Ruston, Louisiana Speaker: Rev. Doug de Graffenried Scripture: Romans 8:1-8

In Romans 8, Paul reminds us that freedom in Christ is not something we achieve, but something we receive. This sermon explores the difference between legalism and grace, between transactional religion and life in the Spirit, and what it means to truly live as people who have been set free. Because of Jesus, we are no longer defined by condemnation, shame, or performance, but by the unwavering love of God.

Sermon from Trinity Methodist Church in Ruston, Louisiana Speaker: Rev. Doug de Graffenried Scripture: Acts 27:21-25

This message explores the difference between a transactional faith (earning “God points”) and a transformational faith that rests in grace. Because storms don’t wait for permission—and they don’t follow your calendar—but God is never surprised.

Sermon from Trinity Methodist Church in Ruston, Louisiana Speaker: Rev. Doug de Graffenried Scripture: John 20:1–10

Before the sun rises… before the disciples understand… before anyone believes—God has already moved.

In this message, we see how the resurrection begins in the dark. Through Mary’s grief, Peter’s failure, and the disciples’ confusion, we’re reminded that hope doesn’t wait for clarity—it meets us right where we are.
