Midway Christian Church sermon for September 27, 2026
Rev. Dr. Heather W. McColl, Midway Christian, Church, Midway KY
Worship Series: “Season of Play”
Part 3: “Masterclass For A Stuck Church”
Exodus 16:1-5; Matthew 14:13-21
Play turns stuck-ness into movement and imagination. Play is the lab where the Spirit teaches us new moves. Playing together as a Church trains us to live with wonder and curiosity in the face of mystery. In uncertain times, we don’t tighten control, but we stay open instead. Play strengthens our shared capacity to follow God’s surprising movements together. When the community plays, we remember that faith is not certainty but it’s the joyful courage to move together into what God is doing next.
About this series…
For true life, play is not a reward after the “real work.” It’s part of God’s design. Play isn't a break from faith; it's a reflection of how joyful God is! Think about it: from God’s wild imagination in Creation, to Jesus' first miracle at a party, the Bible shows us a God who just loves to have a good time. When the Church gets playful, we're mirroring God's creativity and showing the world that joy is stronger than fear. A playful church becomes this living invitation: come on over, join the celebration of God's delight!

Midway Christian Church sermon for September 13, 2026

Worship Series: “Season of Play”
Part 2: “Out of Survival Mode”
Matthew 6:25-27; Mark 10:13-16
Play heals and moves us out of survival mode. God uses delight to unstick weary people and reopen imagination. When we play, our brains and our spirits move out of survival mode and into creativity, openness, and trust. It’s not escape from what ails us; it’s medicine.

Part 1: Season of Play, September 6, 2026
Midway Christian Church sermon for September 6, 2026
Rev. Dr. Heather W. McColl, Midway Christian, Church, Midway KY
Worship Series: “Season of Play”
Part 1: “Play & the Gift of God's Delight”
Psalm 126:1-3; Zephaniah 3:17
Play is not simply recreation, or rest, or even Sabbath. It's God’s gift to us that helps us to recognize and respond to God’s delight in us. When we play, we learn to hear the song God is already singing over us, allowing hope and joy to rise in us rather than relying solely on our effort.
