Sermon clips from Apex churches

36s
“When we empty ourselves, accepting our weakness, trusting in God completely, committing ourself to his will, we have his approval. Whose approval do you want in your life? We we by the way, we all seek approval. Right? I mean, whether it's at workplace, whether it's a coach here in sports, whether it's a parent. But as a believer, the chief one that we should be endeavoring to have approval from is our creator.”
42s
“Grace was the atmosphere in which he started and finished his life. He lived his whole life in the context of grace, and that is another key to his gratitude and his joy. Cornelius Plantinga Plantinga, who was a Christian philosopher who wrote one of the best little books on gratitude I've ever read, very creatively called gratitude. Okay? Said that the primary enemy of gratitude is entitlement. You see entitlement looks at every good thing in your life and it says, I deserve this. God owes me. People owe me. You owe me. Life owes me.”
36s
“And the nets over time would wear out and they'd get rips in them, get holes in them, that sort of thing. And so it's this picture of restitching and re equipping and putting this stronger brand new material into these nets. And this is what God says he will do in your life. He will restore you. He'll take whatever the enemy tried to rip apart and undo you with. What you thought was gone, tattered, and rotted is gonna make it better than it ever was before. Not good as new. New. That is what our God does. He will restore.”
49s
“``You have doubts, come. Let's look at them together. You are hurt, come. Let's be healed together. You are afraid, come. We'll be afraid together, but I know an answer to why not be afraid. And Christ comes into our midst. The doors are locked or not. We experience his love, his mercy. Don't keep it to yourself. Bring it to your neighbor. Bring it to the world and let them know that Jesus is alive. He's back not for vengeance, but to set this broken world aright. Amen.”
43s
#GospelSubstitution
“We also serve a God perfectly just, but he's also perfectly loving, meaning he provided a way for that punishment to be placed upon or to fall upon Jesus instead of us. Think about that for a moment. Jesus can bear the wrath of God for us if we would trust in him. The old testament says the cup symbolizes God's righteous judgment again judgment against sin. Humanity deserves that cup. Jesus, the innocent one, he stands in as a substitute taking the cup so we wouldn't have to. Think about it man. This is the gospel.”
49s
#ComeHomeToTheFather
“No. You belong where he tells you you belong. Do you hear me? You belong in his house. You belong as a fully authorized child of the king. Amen? Anyway, it's that call to to turn. It's to leave the pigs and go home and live with him in in in full in full dress. His plan is to restore. You know, I was, you know, that son somehow knew as he was thinking about while he was eating the pig pods as it would be, that some that son somehow knew that he was being called back to the father and that the father would accept him.”
67s
#SavorTheMoment
“But you wanna know what I've found already so far? When I, when we, slow down, when we stop seeing life writ large as just a problem to be solved. When we slow down, what I'm finding is that I'm not only making wiser, better, and more faithful decisions, but you wanna know what else I'm finding? And I don't even know how a fancy way to say this. I'm finding I like my life better like this. I enjoy my life so much better like this. I find that I'm more present for my life. Shoot. I'll put it to you. I'll put it to you. When was the last time you ate slow enough to actually savor the meal in front of you?”
42s
#CompassionOverProfit
“In Matthew, in the book of Matthew, after Jesus drives away all the animals and merchants, something beautiful happens. The blind, the sick, the vulnerable, who were not able to come to the temple courts, they come in, and they get healed by Jesus after the merchants are drive driven out. Think about that. It seems that the system, a practical system that was in place, seemed to have driven out the vulnerable and the weak, the very people God wants to meet. It seems that over time, profit replaced compassion, convenience replaced connection.”
55s
#FaithNotProof
“You eat a fish swallowing a human, like, I don't know, man. Look, I I'm with you. Some of the stories in this bible are really crazy. And it is really hard to believe sometimes. Why? Because our minds are finite. Our our capability of understanding is limited. We could not possibly comprehend the ways of the Lord. It is humanly, logically impossible. But yet we wanna reason it to be true. We we want it to make sense and so we're like, okay, God, give us a sign. We demanded of him, like, I'm not gonna believe unless there's if I just had some proof, like beyond a shadow of a doubt, tangible evidence, then maybe I would believe. Again, this is why it's called faith.”
64s
#JesusOpenedTheWay
“Did you notice as we described that veil, how it was torn from top to bottom. God tore open the way because of what Jesus did on the cross. Rewind again back to the garden, to the perfect fellowship between God and human beings, to the violation of that fellowship because of sin and the eternal separation that sin brings. The veil that symbolizes the separation of sinful people from holy God. God himself opened up that veil. Jesus Christ opened up the way so that anybody can go in unhindered, unafraid through faith in Jesus.”

Why Apex churches are unique

Apex churches reflect the town’s rapid growth and family-centered suburbs near Research Triangle Park. With many young professionals and new homeowners, they often emphasize practical discipleship, technology-friendly communication, and flexible schedules that fit busy commutes, including strong kids programs for young families, modern worship with contemporary band, and multiple service times and venues.
Because Apex draws transplants from across the country and world, congregations tend to be welcoming and multiethnic, blending regional roots with fresh influences. Many churches in Apex offer options that span traditional hymns to contemporary styles and make space for newcomers, international families, and nearby university communities through multilingual services and diverse congregations, interdenominational worship and liturgy, and young adults and professionals.
Geography and civic life also shape ministry: greenways, parks, and a walkable historic district encourage community engagement and neighborhood rhythms. Apex churches often host outdoor gatherings, service projects, and small groups that meet close to home, partnering with schools and nonprofits across western Wake County, with small group culture, outdoor worship and park events, and community service with local partners.
