Yesterday, our new sermon series began, A Faith That Multiplies. Multiplication has also been a focus recently at the Global Methodist Church General Conference level and the Trinity Conference level as well. See the Trinity Conference recent post below.

Bishop Mark Webb’s words are direct, and they remind us why the Global Methodist Church exists.

This quote was highlighted as part of the GM Church's Connectional Council presentation to General Conference in Johannesburg: a new strategic planning framework for our Global Methodist movement.

Aligned with Trinity's own strategic planning framework presented at adopted by our last Annual Conference (https://tinyurl.com/TCGMC-StrategicPlan-YouTube), the Global Methodist document lends clarity to our shared mission in action:

• Raise a Culture of Disciple-Making Movements
• Discover, Develop, and Deploy Spiritual Leaders
• Vitalization of Existing Congregrations
• Planting New Faith Communities

We pray every congregation in the Trinity Conference will receive this as both a challenge and an invitation. Look for much more to come on this topic in the months and years to come!

Official Articles of Faith of the Global Methodist Church were adopted today. This is a historic moment.

A HISTORIC MOMENT FOR THE GLOBAL METHODIST CHURCH ✨

With overwhelming support, the 2026 General Conference has OFFICIALLY ADOPTED the Articles of Faith, affirming our Wesleyan heritage and establishing a shared expression of the faith that unites us in Jesus Christ.

Together, these Articles speak to who we are, what we believe, and the faith we carry forward as one global connection.

May we hold fast to this faith, walk together in the power of the Holy Spirit, and faithfully proclaim Jesus Christ to a world in need of His grace. 🙏🌍

More details, including the full adopted language, will be released soon.

Many times God is nearer than we think…

Have you ever felt like you just don't belong? Like a stranger in your own world? You are not alone — this Sunday's message at Trinity Church Sugar Land speaks directly to that deep, God-given longing inside each of us.

From Ephesians 2:13-20, we are reminded that in Christ, those who were once far off have been brought near. The dividing walls of hostility, isolation, and sin no longer have the final word. Jesus changes everything.

We were created in the image of a triune God — a God of community, connection, and belonging. Sin broke that, but Christ restores us. As Psalm 68:6 tells us, God places the lonely in families. That includes you.

Join us as we begin our new series on Belonging, Believing, and Becoming. Whether you are searching, returning, or simply need a reminder of where you truly fit — there is a place for you here.

What fruit are you bearing in your life? This week's message challenges us to look beyond the surface and examine what's really happening on the inside. Just as a tree is known by its fruit, our lives reveal what's truly in our hearts—whether we realize it or not.

Jesus reminds us in Luke 6:43-45 that "no good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit." We can't pretend our way to wholeness. The truth is, what's hidden beneath the surface—our unhealed wounds, unaddressed anger, or unexamined motives—will eventually impact those around us, sometimes causing unintentional harm to the very people we're trying to help.

The good news? Your wholeness is your gift to others. When we commit to honest self-reflection, surrender fully to Jesus, and pursue emotional and spiritual health, we become better disciples, better leaders, and better neighbors. Don't try to remove the speck from someone else's eye while ignoring the log in your own. Instead, let God transform you from the inside out.

Are you feeling disoriented in life right now? Maybe your dreams have shifted, your health has changed, or unexpected challenges have left you hiding away like the disciples locked in that room. This Pentecost Sunday, we're reminded that Jesus appears in our disorientation and speaks: "Peace be with you."

In John 20:19-23, Jesus doesn't just comfort His fearful disciples—He recommissions them. He breathes the Holy Spirit upon them and sends them back into the world with purpose. The same God who formed humanity from dust and breathed life into us wants to breathe fresh life into our communities today.

When we feel scattered and stuck, the answer isn't to withdraw further. It's to return to God's great commission, to receive the Holy Spirit afresh, and to remember we're united not by our preferences or politics, but by our faith in Jesus. We're a forgiven people called to forgive, a loved community sent to love.

Come, Holy Spirit, come. Breathe life into us again.

Join us this Sunday at Trinity Church Sugar Land at 10am
