Praying Parents, Peacemaking and Perseverance | Rev. Adam Hamilton | Church of the Resurrection

Three hundred years ago, John Wesley chose to live every part of his life for something greater than himself. His decision sparked a movement that combined passionate faith, deep thinking, and social action—shaping lives not only in England but across America. From his mother Susanna’s unwavering prayers to his own perseverance through rejection and hardship, Wesley’s life shows us what it looks like to keep going when the world feels divided and uncertain. In this message, Pastor Adam Hamilton takes us on location to Epworth, England—Wesley’s hometown—where the Methodist movement first began. Here, we see the places that shaped Wesley’s faith and hear the stories that fueled his passion to bring people together across divisions. From political polarization to religious conflict, Wesley became a bridge builder who believed in doing “whatever it takes” to live out love and hope in a broken world. What we learn from Wesley’s story is that faith is not about avoiding hardship, but about finding strength in the midst of it. It’s about choosing love over division, perseverance over despair, and unity over walls. Even in the hardest moments, good can rise from the ashes when we allow pain to shape us instead of break us. Join us for this powerful sermon as we retrace John Wesley’s steps and discover how his legacy speaks directly to our lives today. Watch now and be inspired to live with courage, compassion, and a commitment to do whatever it takes.
