Covenant Church Doylestown Sermons

OUR MISSION Building a community to reach a community so that together we share in the love and freedom of Jesus OUR VISION Multiplying the gospel’s reach in our community, region, and world. OUR VALUES Missional: The world is not commanded to come to church, we are to be Christ’s ambassadors where we live, work, and play. Relevant: With grace and in love, we point people to the Bible, giving straight answers to life’s most pressing questions. Accessible: We strive to remove every difficulty or excuse that might keep people from Christ. Relational: We want to be a place where people know and are known. Transformational: We seek change that is a by-product of the gospel, change that alters every aspect of life. ALL IN We’ve celebrated what God has done and shared and where He’s leading us next. As we refocus on reaching our community, region, and world with the gospel, we invite you to go ALL IN through prayer, serving, giving, and inviting. Prayer: Where do I sense God stirring my heart to pray for our community? Who in my neighborhood, school, or workplace needs to be covered in prayer? How can I make prayer for Covenant’s vision a regular part of my week? Serve: Where could my gifts and passions align with reaching our local community? Who could I invite to serve alongside me? Does one of these initiatives resonate? Give: How can my generosity help multiply the gospel’s reach? What does all in giving look like for me in this next season? Invite: Who is God placing on my heart to invite to church, a group, or a community event? How can I be more intentional about my relationships at work, in the community, school, sports, etc.?

What does forgiveness really look like when it’s lived, not just preached? In this message, we explore one of the most overlooked and shocking moments in the book of Acts — the day Paul walked into the home of Philip, the man whose close friend Stephen Paul once helped murder. Their quiet, simple reunion in Acts 21:8 reveals the cost, beauty, and miracle of forgiveness in the life of the church. We also connect this moment to Covenant’s fifth membership vow: “Do you submit yourselves to the government and discipline of the church, and promise to study its purity and peace?” This sermon dives into: – Why forgiveness is not forgetting – How to hope in God’s transforming work – What frees us to let go of past wounds – How forgiveness creates space for mission – Why purity and peace are practices, not ideas This is a story of grace, transformation, and the freedom Jesus brings — even to the most painful places in our lives and in the church.

Forgiveness isn’t easy — but it’s where freedom begins. In this message, Pastor Steve Huber explores five biblical truths about forgiveness: absorbing the debt, laying down revenge, forgiving for God’s sake, embracing the process, and seeing the beauty of grace in action. From Scripture to real-life stories, this message shows why forgiving others brings healing to the soul.

Why does Jesus forgive before He heals? In this message from Mark 2:1–12, we see a paralyzed man come to Jesus for healing — but receive forgiveness first. Explore the surprise of the gift, the grace of the gift, and the authority of the One who gives it. This sermon reveals the heart of Jesus, who meets our deepest need even when we don’t recognize it.

What if forgiveness could transform your relationships? Pastor Steve Huber shares seven practical, biblical steps to reconcile, heal, and live free—just as Jesus forgave us.
