Church on the Move Podcast

Our Lead Pastor, Whit George, begins our new teaching series, Jesus Over Everything. Following Jesus is more than simply believing in God or attending church. It's trusting Him with our lives, belonging to a family of believers, and holding on to a hope that circumstances cannot shake. As Paul prays for the Colossians to grow in spiritual wisdom and understanding, we see that God not only reveals His will to us but also gives us the strength to live it out. In this message, Pastor Whit explores the following Scriptures: COLOSSIANS 1:1-14 ESV 2 CORINTHIANS 4:16-18 ESV - Next Steps Looking to take a next step?

Our Founding Pastor, Willie George, wraps up our teaching series, Life Lessons.

Investing in the next generation is one of the most important things we can do as followers of Jesus. Through Deuteronomy 6 and several moments from the Gospel of Matthew, we see that children face real struggles, are capable of understanding God's Word, and have an important place in His Kingdom. From everyday conversations that build a foundation of faith to the powerful ways Jesus welcomed, healed, and honored children, we're reminded that children's ministry is far more than childcare. It's an opportunity to introduce young hearts to the real Jesus and make an impact that can last for generations.

Our Lead Pastor, Whit George, continues week three of our Life Lessons by sharing a simple but powerful truth from James 1: it's the doing that makes the difference. Faith was never meant to stop at hearing God's Word. True transformation happens when belief leads to action.
