The Moment Everything Changed | Pastor Sarah Grant | Accelerate Church
This Mother’s Day message reminds us that one moment in God’s presence can change everything. As we walk through 1 Samuel 1, we look at the story of Hannah — a woman carrying pain, disappointment, and unanswered prayers, yet still choosing to seek God. Whether you’re celebrating today, grieving today, waiting on God, or just trying to hold on, this message is for you.

Just Pray It | Dr. Ernest Grant, II | Accelerate Church
Most of us believe in prayer the same way we believe in eating vegetables — we know we should, but we never quite make it a lifestyle. In this final message from the book of James, Dr. Ernest Grant II challenges us to move beyond survival mode prayer and become people whose lives are defined by it. Because the same God who answered Elijah is still listening.

Just Give It! | Dr. Ernest Grant, II | Accelerate Church
In this message, Dr. Ernest Grant II walks through James 4:13–5:6 and exposes the danger of living as if we control tomorrow and trusting wealth to secure our lives. James reminds us that life is fragile, God is sovereign, and our resources are meant to serve God’s mission—not replace our trust in Him. This message calls us to humility, generosity, and full surrender to the Lord who holds our future.

159
Just Admit It! | Dr. Ernest Grant, II | Accelerate Church
What’s really behind the conflicts in your life? In James 4, we discover that the wars around us are often fueled by wars within us — disordered desires, misplaced trust, and divided loyalty. But the deeper issue isn’t just relational tension. It’s distance from God. This Easter message, Dr. Ernest Grant II explores how our pride, envy, and spiritual drift create separation — and how Jesus’ death and resurrection completely close the gap. On the cross, He absorbed the distance. In the resurrection, He secured our welcome. You don’t have to climb your way back to God. The door is already open. Because of Jesus, you can draw near — confidently.
-
158
Just Shut It! | Dr. Ernest Grant, II | Accelerate Church
Small things with massive consequences. James says your tongue belongs on that list. In "Just Shut It!" — Pastor Ernest Grant II unpacks James 3 and gets ruthlessly practical about what your words are doing to your relationships, your reputation, and your life. This one will hit different.
-
157
Just Show It! | Pastor Mike McAvey | Accelerate Church
In a culture where faith is often more talked about than lived, Just Show It challenges us to examine whether our belief in Jesus is actually evident in our everyday lives. Walking through James 2:14–26, this message exposes the difference between dead faith, empty belief, and the kind of real, dynamic faith that moves us to action—reminding us that true faith isn’t just something you say, it’s something you show.
-
156
Just Stop It! | Dr. Ernest Grant, II | Accelerate Church
This week at Accelerate Church, Dr. Ernest Grant preached a timely and challenging message from James 2:1–13 on the danger of favoritism and the call to mercy. Drawing from Scripture, real-life examples, and cultural insight, this message confronts how subtle prejudice and partiality can erode Christian community and distort the gospel. James reminds us that faith is not just what we believe—it’s how we treat people.
-
155
Just Live It! | Dr. Ernest Grant, II | Accelerate Church
In Just Live It! Dr. Ernest Grant, II challenges us to move from “gym strength” faith that looks good in controlled environments to functional faith that holds up under real-life pressure. Walking through James 1:19–27, he shows how real Christianity is tested by our tongue, our compassion, and our character—and why the goal isn’t checklist religion, but gospel-shaped living. Because we don’t obey to earn God’s love… we obey because Jesus already secured it.
-
154
Just Handle It! | Dr. Ernest Grant, II | Accelerate Church
Sin fractures. It pulls. It promises relief and delivers death. But James reminds us that while our desires were leading us toward the grave, God was moving toward us with life. But in this passage from James 1:13-18, Dr. Ernest Grant II explains that He is not the author of temptation—He is the giver of every good and perfect gift. Through the gospel, He brought us forth by the word of truth, making us the firstfruits of a coming harvest.
-
153
Just Endure It! | Dr. Ernest Grant, II | Accelerate Church
Faith isn’t proven by what we agree with—it’s revealed by how we respond. In the opening message of Faith in Motion, Dr. Ernest Grant II walks through James 1:1–12 and confronts the gap between intention and obedience. James reminds us that trials aren’t pointless interruptions; they are God’s tools for formation, endurance, and maturity. If you’ve ever felt scattered, squeezed, or stuck, this message calls you to stop stalling and start moving. Faith doesn’t wait for perfect conditions—it takes the next step. Just endure it.
-
152
Be A Better Friend | Dr. Ernest Grant, II | Accelerate Church
In a culture that celebrates cliques, hype, and surface-level connection, Be A Better Friend challenges us to rethink what real friendship actually looks like. Walking through Malachi 3:13–4:6, Dr. Ernest Grant, II reveals why relationships quietly drift, how careless words and selfish expectations erode trust, and why godly friendships are essential for your spiritual health.
-
151
We Want Justice…NOW! | Dr. Ernest Grant, II | Accelerate Church
We all want justice, especially when the world feels broken, unfair, and upside down. In this message from Malachi 2:17-3:12, Dr. Ernest Grant II confronts the cry we all feel deep down: “Where is the God of justice?” What if God isn’t absent, but patiently at work, starting with His own people? This sermon challenges our assumptions about justice, exposes the ways we subtly accuse God, and points us to the hope of the gospel: a God who doesn’t just promise justice someday, but stepped into injustice through Jesus to save us.

150
No More Leftovers! | Dr. Ernest Grant, Il | AccelerateChurch
In this message Dr. Ernest Grant, Il spoke from Malachi 2:1-8, and it's a sobering-but hope-filled, word for anyone who's been showing up but feels spiritually disconnected. Using real-life illustrations and the warning God gives to the priests in Malachi, he explores how activity can continue while spiritual power is lost.
-
149
What Does God Want? | Dr. Ernest Grant, II | Accelerate Church
In this message from the Cold Blooded collection, Dr. Ernest Grant II dives into Malachi 1 to tackle a foundational question: What does God really want? We often treat God like a divine "Goodwill bin," dropping off the scraps of our time, the leftovers of our energy, and the loose change of our finances once our own appetites are satisfied. But God isn't a beggar looking for a handout; He is a Great King demanding His due.

Amplify Halftime | Pastor Ernest Grant, II | Accelerate Church
Pastor Ernest Grant II preached a powerful message on the transformative power of generosity. Teaching from Proverbs 11:24–25, he reminded the church that “one person gives freely, yet gains even more.” His message centered on the truth that generosity isn’t about losing—it’s about living—stepping into the kind of life God designed for us, marked by open hands, full hearts, and faith that trusts Him completely. As Accelerate Church reaches the halfway point of the Amplify Campaign, Pastor Ernest reminded everyone that God isn’t just building a building—He’s building our faith.

Gifted (Pt. II) | Pastor Ernest Grant, II | Accelerate Church
In Gifted, Pastor Ernest unpacks how the Holy Spirit empowers every believer with spiritual gifts—not as trophies to admire but as tools to serve. From love, word, and power gifts, we learn that the point isn’t to chase experiences but to become more like Jesus and build His church. The greatest gift is a Person: Jesus, who saves us, fills us with His Spirit, and sends us
-
146
When The Ordinary Becomes Extraordinary | Pastor Ernest Grant, II | Accelerate Church
In this message, Pastor Ernest unpacks how God takes what looks ordinary and makes it extraordinary in His hands. You’ll be reminded that your faithfulness is never wasted, your obscurity is not overlooked, and your story is not defined by loss but by the cross and the empty tomb.

Who Is The Holy Spirit? | Pastor Ernest Grant, II | Accelerate Church
This week at Accelerate, we unpacked the powerful work of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit isn’t a vague force or distant idea—He’s the living God who makes the gospel real in our lives. The Father planned salvation, the Son accomplished it, and the Holy Spirit applies it to our hearts. He’s the One who gives us new life, cleanses us from sin, unites us to Jesus, and assures us we belong to God.
-
143
Building A Marriage That Lasts| Pastor Ernest Grant, II | Accelerate Church
Pastor Ernest preached a powerful word on marriage from Ephesians 5 in our Love Island collection. He reminded us that marriage is beautiful but fractured — and that it only makes sense when we see it as a picture of the gospel. On the cross, Jesus exchanged His vows with us: He took our sin, bore our shame, and pledged Himself to us forever. Whether you’re married, single, or somewhere in between, this message points us to the Bridegroom whose love never fails.
-
142
When Life Swipes Left | Pastor Ernest Grant, II | Accelerate Church
This week at Accelerate Church, Pastor Ernest Grant II preached a message from 1 Samuel 30 in our Love Island collection: “Getting Right After a Swipe Left.” From David’s darkest moment at Ziklag, we see how to deal with rejection, strengthen ourselves in the Lord, seek His direction, and trust Him to restore what was lost.

Its Giving...TOXIC | Pastor Ernest Grant, II
We’re kicking off a brand-new sermon collection called Love Island—because sometimes the most toxic thing in your life isn’t who you love, but how you’ve earned to love. In this Welcome Home Sunday message, Pastor Ernest Grant, II opens the All Hands on Deck! collection with a powerful word titled, “It’s Giving… Toxic.” Preaching from Judges 16, Pastor Ernest walks through the story of Samson and Delilah—not as a romantic cautionary tale, but as a mirror for our modern relationships.
-
140
The Power Hasn't Gone Out |Pastor Ernest Grant, II | Accelerate Church
This week Pastor Ernest Grant II preached a life-changing message from 1 Corinthians 15 in our All Hands on Deck collection. He reminded us that the church doesn’t run on personalities, programs, or polish—the power that fuels the church is the gospel. Without it, we drift. With it, lives are changed, hope is restored, and eternity is rewritten.

Come and See | Pastor Ernest Grant, II | Accelerate Church
The early church didn’t start with a worship experience—it started with an invitation. In this message, Pastor Ernest unpacks how a few simple words—“Come and see”—ignited a gospel movement. This isn’t about being perfect, persuasive, or polished. This is about being obedient.
-
137
You Don’t Get To Opt Out! | Pastor Ernest Grant, II | Accelerate Church
Pastor Ernest Grant II preached a powerful message about what it really means to opt into the Church. In a culture that constantly offers reasons to disengage, disconnect, or deconstruct, this message is a bold reminder that Jesus didn’t opt out on us—so we don’t opt out on His Body.
-
136
All Hands on Deck | Pastor Ernest Grant, II | Accelerate Church
In this kickoff message from our All Hands on Deck collection, Pastor Ernest Grant, II challenges us to move beyond cruise-ship Christianity and embrace our calling as soldiers on mission. Preaching from 2 Thessalonians 3:1–5, this sermon reminds us that the gospel doesn’t move forward through comfort, but through conviction, obedience, and prayer. The mission is urgent, the resistance is real, and eternity is at stake. It’s time to suit up, show up, and take our place. The mission is clear—it’s all hands on deck.

The Problem of Evil | Pastor Ernest Grant, II | Accelerate Church
Pastor Ernest tackled one of the most honest and difficult questions we face: How can a good God allow so much evil in the world? In this message from our Benefit of Doubt series, we didn’t run from the tension—we leaned into it. We explored how evil not only breaks the world around us, but distorts the world within us. And we wrestled with what it means to still believe in a good God who sometimes feels silent in the face of suffering. If you’ve ever felt the weight of injustice, struggled with unanswered prayers, or wondered whether faith can hold up in a world this broken—this message is for you.
-
132
Doubters Are Welcome | Pastor Ernest Grant, II | Accelerate Church
Is it possible to love Jesus and still wrestle with doubt? In this message from Matthew 11, Pastor Ernest Grant II opens our Benefit of Doubt series by showing us that even John the Baptist—the man who baptized Jesus and heard the voice from heaven—had questions. Sitting in prison, he wondered, “Are You really the One?” If you’ve ever found yourself in a prison of unmet expectations, delays, or silence from God… this message is for you. Jesus isn’t offended by your doubts. In fact, He invites you to bring them to Him. Because doubt isn’t the enemy of faith—it can be the birthplace of something deeper, stronger, and more real.

131
Excellence In Our Veins | Dr. Ernest Grant, II | Accelerate Church
What if I told you that excellence is more than a standard—it’s a testimony? In this message at Accelerate Church, Pastor Ernest unpacks how Solomon’s wisdom, leadership, and worship left the Queen of Sheba speechless—not just because of what he said, but because of how everything in his kingdom reflected order, honor, and intentionality.Listen to this message from Accelerate Church and discover why excellence isn’t about perfection—it’s about preparation. It’s not for show, not for status, but because how we serve reflects who we serve.

When Hope Died | Easter at Accelerate Church | Pastor Ernest Grant, II
On Easter, the message focuses on a story from the Bible about two people traveling from Jerusalem to Emmaus. They're disappointed because they had hoped Jesus would save them, but he was killed instead. As they walk and talk, they don't realize it's Jesus walking with them. They're sad and hopeless, like many of us when things don't go as planned. The story shows how they lost hope but then found it again when they realized Jesus was alive. It's a reminder that even when things seem bleak, there can still be hope for a better future. 📆 Stay tuned for more exciting content from Accelerate Church and Pastor Ernest Grant, II! 🙏💫 📷 Follow Pastor Ernest on Instagram: @ernestcleogrant
