Epiphany Church Sermons

by Epiphany Church Brooklyn

Epiphany Church is a multi-ethnic church plant in the Bedford Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, NY. We are a local church learning what it means to follow Jesus in a complex city. We see ourselves in a growing relationship with Jesus and one another, a relationship that ignites us to be agents of change in our city. Similar to the early disciples, we are made up of different ethnicities, socioeconomic make up, young families, singles, professionals, Brooklyn natives, and artists which makes us quite the motley crew to serve Jesus.

  1. Welcome Home | Pastor Caleb Merlain | 26.09.20

    This passage shows three different angles of vision on how lost people matter to God. A couple of weeks ago, we discovered that the prodigal son wanders away from the father due to a lack of reverence. However, the beginning of the chapter shows other reasons people get lost: a sheep wanders out…

  3. Rated M for Mature | Pastor Caleb Merlain | 26.09.06

    Our church has been in a season of spiritual maturity for the past year. While we've discussed maturity, it's important to address the cost of our immaturity.

    Your Story Matters | Pastor Lionel King | 26.08.30 by Epiphany Church Brooklyn

  5. The Math Ain't Mathin' | Pastor Ayinde Samuel | 26.08.16

    When Peter asked Jesus how many times he really had to forgive, he thought he was being generous. Jesus answered with a number so high it was never meant to be counted: seventy times seven. In this message, we sit with a servant who got millions wiped and still choked a man over what is…

  6. There's Still Hope | Deacon Jair Froome | 26.08.09

    Romans 5:1-5 Hope is a fundamental aspect of the human experience. Generally, we place our hope in things that we want to enjoy in the future but can’t fully experience in the present. But the guaranteed, eternal hope that Jesus secured for those who believe in His finished work on the cross has...

  7. Superintelligence | Pastor Ayinde Samuel | 26.08.02

    The richest men on earth are racing to build a mind greater than man's, and every new press release makes the fear feel more real: the layoffs, the shrinking paychecks, the quiet dread that you're replaceable, till everybody's asking the same thing folks been asking since the beginning: who am I?...

  8. Those People | Pastor Brandon Watts | 26.07.26

    We all have categories, assumptions, and labels for "those people." But what if the gospel sees people differently? Join us as we explore Acts 16:9–34 and discover the surprising reach of God's grace.

  9. We Need Everybody | Pastor Brandon Watts | 26.07.19

    Exodus 17:8–12 and Exodus 18:1–11a, 13–26 God never intended for His mission to be carried by a select few. In this Vision Sunday message from Exodus 17–18, we’ll look at the kind of church God is calling us to become and what it means for each of us to have a part.

  10. Waiting Without Shortcuts | Pastor Brandon Watts | 26.07.12

    Waiting can be one of the hardest parts of following God. This Sunday we'll see how God shapes us in the waiting and why His timing is always better than the shortcuts we're tempted to take.

  11. When Everything Falls Apart | Pastor Brandon Watts | 26.07.06

    When Everything Falls Apart | Pastor Brandon Watts | 26.07.06 by Epiphany Church Brooklyn

  12. There Has To Be More | Pastor Brandon Watts | 26.06.28

    In John 4, Jesus meets a woman carrying more than a water jar and reveals a truth that speaks to every restless heart searching for lasting satisfaction. This message invites us to consider whether the things we're chasing can truly satisfy and points us to the One who can.

  13. What Makes a Real Father? | Pastor Brandon Watts | 26.06.21

    As we look at the baptism of Jesus, we'll see what the Father reveals about Himself and what every father should strive to be. It's a message about presence, identity, and the powerful impact a father can have in the life of a child.

  14. Flaws | Pastor Brandon Watts | 26.06.14

    We all have areas of brokenness, weakness, and struggle that we’d rather keep hidden. This Sunday, we’ll look at the story of Naaman and discover how God’s grace meets us in the very places where we are most aware of our need for Him.

  15. He May Not Come When You Want Him | Pastor Caleb Merlain | 26.06.07

    Have you ever put God on a timeline? Submitted a prayer request that was time sensitive? Yet instead of receiving a response you found yourself in the God’s waiting room. If that wasn’t enough, it’s while you’re stuck in God’s waiting room that your situation goes from bad to worse. In our…

  16. Hairline & Edges Growing Back (PII) | Pastor Brandon Watts | 26.05.31

    This Sunday we continue the story of Samson and examine the events that led to one of the most devastating moments of his life. Through this powerful passage, we’ll explore how seemingly small decisions can shape our future and why staying close to God matters more than we often realize.

  17. Hairline & Edges Growing Back | Pastor Brandon Watts | 26.05.24

    This Sunday we’ll walk through one of the most raw and tension filled moments in Samson’s life and see how God continues to work even in seasons of failure, weakness, and brokenness.

  18. 70,000 Reasons to Take Sin Serious | Pastor Brandon Watts | 26.05.03

    One decision. One sin. 70,000 lives affected. This message unpacks the weight of sin, the ripple effect it creates, and why we must take it seriously.

  19. Will the Real Jesus Please Stand Up | Pastor Ayinde Samuel | 26.04.26

    Matthew 27:15-26 (NIV) Two thousand years ago, a crowd stood in front of two men. Both named Jesus. One a criminal, one the Christ. They weren't fooled. They just wanted the Jesus that wouldn't cost. In this message, we revisit Pilate's courtyard, confront a church still choosing the counterfeit,...

  20. From Celebration to Commission | Pastor Brandon Watts | 26.03.29

    As we celebrate 10 years, we’re reminded that this moment is bigger than reflection it’s about stepping into what’s next. This message will challenge us to see our role in what God is continuing to build.

  21. Seeing What They Can’t See | Pastor Brandon Watts | 26.03.22

    There is more happening than what we can see with our natural eyes. This message invites us to trust God’s perspective and recognize His activity even when it’s not immediately visible.

  22. For Such A Time As This | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.12.14

    God doesn’t place us randomly, He positions us intentionally. Every believer will face a moment where comfort must bow to calling, because we are here for such a time as this. This sermon should give your clarity on how to move with boldness.

  23. God's Hand In Broken Systems | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.11.24

    Esther 2 is a messy chapter, but God is still moving even when His hand seems hidden. This week we talked about how God works through broken systems, flawed people, and complicated stories to accomplish His purpose.

  24. Unlikely Favor | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.11.16

    We are beginning our journey through Esther, a book where God’s name is never mentioned but His hand is everywhere. In chapter 1 we watch a messy situation unfold that God is quietly using for His purposes. Even when we cannot see Him, God is still working.

  25. It's Already in the House | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.10.26

    Exodus 35:4–10, 20–29 Everything God needed to build the Tabernacle was already in the hands of His people. In the same way, God has already placed in us what’s needed to build His church and reach our city. This message is all about seeing generosity as partnership with God in what He’s already...

  26. The Jesus We Overlook | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.10.19

    The Jesus We Overlook | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.10.19 by Epiphany Church Brooklyn

  27. Reclaimed for God’s Glory | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.10.12

    Luke 19:1-10 This passage reminds us that His grace doesn’t just forgive, it restores, renews, and reclaims what seemed too far gone. It’s a reminder that no life is beyond His reach when He decides to make it His own.

  28. Christ, No Matter What | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.09.28

    Paul reminds us that the Christian life is full of gains and losses, ups and downs, but the true prize is knowing Christ. He redefines success by counting everything else as loss compared to the surpassing worth of intimacy with Jesus. This sermon will call us to press forward with maturity, not...

  29. The Opps You Can't See | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.09.14

    This sermon reminds us that behind human conflict and brokenness there is an unseen spiritual battle. Satan is real, he schemes, and his goal is to deceive, divide, and destroy. But God gives us armor and weapons so we can stand firm in victory.

  30. Spiritually Immunized | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.09.07

    Main Scripture - John 2:23–3:16 Supporting Scripture - Matthew 7:21-23 Luke 8:11-15 This sermon is intended to ignite believers to give Jesus their all. It is a call not to settle for a superficial faith but to walk in an allegiance that shows up every single day.

  31. He's A Keeping God | Pastor Caleb Merlain | 25.08.31

    Romans 8:29-30 NKJV “A couple of weeks back we spoke about the idea of Moving Forward. That our faith is one of maturation, movement and progression. However if Joshua 3 was about why we should move forward, Romans 8 is about how we can move forward. I want to argue that we can have confidence in...

  32. God's Love Language | Deacon Jair Froome | 25.08.24

    Deuteronomy 6:7-15 (ESV) It is not always easy to navigate decision-making as a Christian. In addition to the regular challenges that test our faith, we are almost constantly bombarded by distractions, temptations and idols that masquerade as viable alternatives to God. In this passage, Moses…

  33. God's Love | Deacon Jair Froome | 25.08.17

    Deuteronomy 6:4-6 (ESV Who is God? Exodus 3:14-15 (ESV) Who Am I? Matthew 22:36-40 (ESV) What does God want from me? Hebrews 10:15-17 (ESV) God engineered us to be in loving relationships with Him and one another. But if we’re not vigilant, the difficulties of the human experience can thwart and...

  34. The Other Olive Garden | Deacon Ayinde Samuel | 25.08.10

    Before the cross, Jesus stepped into the Garden of Gethsemane, a place of crushing and surrender. In this message, we witness the Savior who gave His all and discover how His obedience in the garden still brings rest, strength, and victory to our lives today.

  35. Moving Foward | Pastor Caleb Merlain | 25.08.03

    A life of faith is a truly life of adventure. It’s a life where you continuously have to say yes to God. Today, our sermon is not about God’s decision to deliver you but it’s about your decision to follow Him. This text in Joshua shows us that God has a promise place prepared for the children of...

  36. Joy In Serving Others | Pastor Lionel King | 25.07.27

    Joy In Serving Others | Pastor Lionel King | 25.07.27 by Epiphany Church Brooklyn

  37. Grace Pulled Up a Chair | Pastor Brand Watts | 25.07.13

    This passage gives us one of the clearest pictures of the gospel in the Old Testament. Mephibosheth was broken, unqualified, and living in hiding, yet the King sought him out and gave him a seat at the table. That is what grace does. It finds us, welcomes us, and covers us.

  38. My Work Is My Witness | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.07.06

    We often separate what we do for a living from our walk with God, but Scripture doesn’t. From Bezalel building with excellence to Paul reminding us to work as unto the Lord, the Bible shows us that our work matters.

  39. Prayer That Got Power | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.06.29

    Prayer isn’t passive, it’s powerful. In this message, we will walk through James 5:13–20 to show how prayer activates healing, restoration, and bold faith. This is a word that reminds us that prayer still works.

  40. You're Doing Too Much | Pastor Caleb Merlain | 25.06.22

    Public displays of affection can be endeavoring for some and off-putting for others. We tend to avoid people who seem too flamboyant or extra in their gestures of appreciation. This passage showcases a woman who drops everything she has to worship at the feet of Jesus. The surrounding crowd is...

  41. God’s Not Slow, We’re Just Impatient | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.06.15

    We live in a culture that hates waiting, but God often does His deepest work in the seasons we want to skip. In James 5, we’re commanded not just to endure, but to be patient, to work, trust, and stay faithful in the middle of the wait. Real growth doesn’t happen when life is easy, but when we...

  42. Clout Don’t Count in Church | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.04.27

    In a culture obsessed with influence and image, James reminds us that God doesn’t play favorites—and neither should we. This message challenges us to confront the subtle ways we show partiality and elevates mercy as the true mark of mature faith. Because in God’s Kingdom, grace outweighs status...

  43. The Monday After Easter | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.04.20

    The Monday After Easter | James 1:19–27 The resurrection isn’t just a Sunday celebration—it’s a call to a new way of living. In this message, we look at how the empty tomb should transform our words, our actions, and our witness every day after.

  44. Licking The Knife | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.04.13

    In this sermon, we’re talking about the difference between trials and temptations — and why it matters. God uses trials to build us, but temptation comes when our own desires try to pull us away. If we aren’t aware of what’s happening in our hearts, we can end up hurting ourselves without even...

  45. Trusting God With The Hard Stuff | Pastor Brandon Watts | 2025.04.06

    Life doesn’t always make sense—and sometimes God seems silent when we need Him most. In this sermon from James 1:1–8, we will unpack how trials shape our faith, deepen our patience, and drive us to pray with bold trust. If you're in a tough season, this message will help you lean on God even when...

  46. The Blessings Of Closed Doors | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.03.30

    Sometimes God’s greatest guidance comes through His "No." In Acts 16, Paul and his team faced closed doors—not as setbacks, but as redirections toward something greater. This sermon will help you recognize that every closed door is often a setup for a clearer call and a greater purpose.

  47. Not Just Any Old Book | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.03.09

    In “Not Just Any Old Book” (2 Timothy 3:1-5, 16-17), we explore how the Bible is not just a human-written text but the God-breathed, supernatural Word that shapes how Christians are called to live. In a world where people follow their own thoughts and desires, Scripture provides divine wisdom,...

  48. Loving People | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.03.02

    In “Loving People” (1 John 4:7-21), we explore how God’s love is not just something we receive but something we are called to reflect. True love is selfless, sacrificial, and rooted in God’s very nature—because God is love. This message challenges us to move beyond words and actively demonstrate...

  49. Protecting Your Space | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.02.23

    In “Protecting Your Space” (Mark 1:35-39), we see how even Jesus prioritized time alone with the Father, setting boundaries to protect His spiritual and emotional capacity. When we create space for prayer, rest, and reflection, we grow in deeper intimacy with God and avoid burnout from constant...

  50. Fear vs. Fear | Pastor Brandon Watts | 25.01.19

    In this sermon called “Fear vs. Fear,” we dive into Exodus 1:15–20 and examine how two Hebrew midwives chose to fear God rather than Pharaoh. Their courageous decision not only saved lives but reminds us of what happens when our reverence for God outweighs our fear of man.
