God can’t heal what you’re unwilling to reveal. Dive into Psalm 51 as Lead Pastor Joel Hendricks delivers a powerful message on true biblical repentance, breaking free from hidden sin, and experiencing the overwhelming joy of God’s restoration.In Message 7 of our Summer in the Psalms series, Lead Pastor Joel Hendricks walks us through King David's famous prayer of repentance in Psalm 51. Following his tragic choices with Bathsheba and Uriah, David reached a turning point where he could no longer rationalize, excuse, or cover up his wrongdoing. Pastor Joel challenges us to take full personal responsibility for our lives, warning against the danger of abdicating spiritual leadership and falling into passive laziness.When we stop defending ourselves and bring our struggles into the light, God does what only He can do—creating a clean heart out of nothing (bara) and renewing a steadfast spirit within us. True repentance isn't about rigid religious rituals; it's about a broken and contrite heart before a merciful God. When we experience genuine forgiveness through Jesus Christ, our lives naturally shift from inward grief to outward worship, transformation, and bold witness.Timestamps:[00:00] - Welcome & Opening[01:05] - The Danger of Abdicating Responsibility & Spiritual Laziness[06:25] - Reading Psalm 51: Understanding Transgression, Iniquity, and Sin[07:13] - Owning Your Sin Without Excuses[13:45] - Why Sin is Personal, Persistent, and Heart-Rooted[20:05] - The Downward Spiral: What Sin Will Cost You[22:35] - Honesty Over Defense: Exposing Sin to the Light[24:00] - Psalm 51:7-12 | "Create in Me a Clean Heart, O God"[27:20] - "Bara": God Creating Something Out of Nothing[29:00] - Gospel Foreshadowing: How Psalm 51 Points Directly to Jesus[30:44] - Psalm 51:13-19 | Moving From Inward Grief to Outward Praise[33:35] - Forgiven People Worship and Witness[37:30] - The Sacrifices of God: A Broken & Contrite Heart[39:12] - Altar Call & Prayer for Families#SummerInThePsalms #Psalm51 #BiblicalRepentance #ONEChurch #SermonONE Church exists to help people become ONE with God, each other and their community.Our mission is to make sure NO ONE WALKS ALONE.

When life feels like worst-case scenario and chaos is swirling all around you, where do you turn? Discover how ancient truths from the sons of Korah in Psalm 46 reveal a pathway to peace that doesn’t require your circumstances to change first.In this powerful message from our "Summer in the Psalms" series, we dive deep into the hope-filled verses of Psalm 46. Reflecting on historical moments of adversity—from Martin Luther’s stand during the plague of the 1520s to the trials we face today—we are reminded that trouble in this life is an absolute certainty. Yet, in the midst of the storm, we don't have to live in fear.We learn what it truly means to "be still and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10). This isn't just about being quiet; it's a call to stop striving, surrender our need for control, and find refuge in the abiding presence of the Lord. Peace isn’t found in a change of circumstances, but in the constant presence of God, who places a peaceful river of life right in the middle of our chaotic storms.Finally, we uncover a beautiful, overlooked detail in the history of Psalm 46: it was written by the sons of Korah. Understanding their lineage of rebellion and God’s incredible act of sparing them reveals a profound message of redemption. Your past, your family history, and your failures do not have to define your future. With Jesus, it is never about how you start, but how you finish.Timestamps[00:00] Welcome back & Church Updates[04:22] Introduction to Psalm 46: God is Our Refuge and Strength[05:40] Martin Luther, Psalm 46, and the Bubonic Plague of the 1520s[10:51] Facing the Certainty of Trouble Without Fear[19:51] Finding a "Selah" Moment: Pause and Meditate[22:45] The Peaceful River in the Middle of Chaos[25:01] True Peace is Found in God's Presence, Not Changed Circumstances[29:19] What It Really Means to "Be Still" (Psalm 46:10)[34:00] Who Were the Sons of Korah?

Are you battling isolating fears, anxiety, or voices telling you that you aren't good enough? Discover how King David faced real-time enemies and raw emotions by anchoring his soul in the only true source of deliverance and ultimate access to God.In this moving fifth installment of our Summer in the Psalms series, Pastor Bradley takes us deep into the heart of Psalm 27. Written in a time of intense personal trial and raw emotion—likely while fleeing the betrayal of his own son, Absalom—David models how to process fear, isolation, and anxiety through a powerful framework of faith. Pastor Bradley unpacks how God created us with emotions not to hide them, but to bring them honestly before a good Father who already knows our hearts.Through a closer look at the historical and biblical context of David’s life, this sermon explores three core pillars: David's Belief, David's Desire, and David's Hope. You will learn how the Lord serves as our light, salvation, and stronghold when the enemy tries to isolate us from community and truth. Ultimately, this message points directly to Jesus Christ (Yeshua)—our eternal "credential" who gives us total, unhindered access into the presence of the Father. If you are ready to break free from bondage and walk in divine courage, this message is for you!Timestamps[00:00] - Welcome & Opening Remarks from Pastor Bradley[03:36] - Introduction to Summer in the Psalms: Message 5[05:51] - The Purpose of Human Emotions and Why God Created Them[14:38] - Scripture Reading: Psalm 27[16:53] - Historical Background & Context of Psalm 27[26:22] - Main Point 1: David's Belief (God as Light and Salvation)[35:26] - Overcoming the Enemy’s Tactic of Isolation[41:21] - Main Point 2: David's Desire (Dwelling in God's Shelter)[43:51] - Main Point 3: David's Hope (The Presence & Power of God)[47:39] - Jesus as Our Access Pass & Eternal "Credential"[51:17] - Altar Call, Closing Prayer, and Reflection#SummerInThePsalms #Psalm27 #FaithOverFear #JesusOurCredential #ONECurchSC #SermonOnlineONE Church exists to help people become ONE with God, each other and their community.Our mission is to make sure NO ONE WALKS ALONE.

Whether you find yourself currently walking through a season of peaceful abundance or navigating through the darkest, most difficult valleys, this powerful message serves as an essential reminder that when the Lord is your Shepherd, you truly lack nothing.Pastor Joel beautifully unpacks the timeless truths of this text, breaking down the character of God into three life-changing realities: how the Shepherd provides for our deepest physical and spiritual needs, how the Shepherd guides our daily steps along paths of righteousness, and how the Shepherd faithfully stays close beside us even during our greatest trials. If you are looking for spiritual renewal, deep encouragement, or a reminder of God's unchanging devotion to you, this message will comfort your heart and strengthen your faith.Timestamps00:00 - Introduction & Welcome01:24 - Summer in the Psalms Series Overview06:18 - Scripture Reading: Psalm 23:1-413:05 - Point 1: The Shepherd Provides for Us15:25 - Point 2: The Shepherd Guides Us22:08 - Point 3: The Shepherd Stays With Us29:44 - Closing Thoughts & Reflection Prayer#SummerInThePsalms #Psalm23 #GoodShepherd #ChristianSermon #ONEChurchONE Church exists to help people become ONE with God, each other and their community.Our mission is to make sure NO ONE WALKS ALONE.

Are you feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or abandoned by the circumstances of life? Discover how turning your focus toward the perfect Father can transform your deepest valleys into places of fullness and undeniable joy.In this moving Father’s Day message, part of our ongoing Summer in the Psalms series, we dive deep into the beautiful and reassuring truths of Psalm 16. Life can often hit us with unexpected challenges, leaving us dealing with heavy seasons of uncertainty, danger, or abandonment. Whether it stems from broken relationships, the painful loss of a loved one, or simply feeling forgotten in a crowded room, scripture reminds us that we are never truly alone.Drawing powerful modern parallels from Psalm 16 and Acts 2, this sermon outlines how God the Father remains our ultimate refuge and chosen portion. For the men and fathers in our community, this message serves as a sobering yet uplifting call to step into the roles God has designed—providing tangible examples of His character through protection, encouragement, and intentional spiritual consistency. Ultimately, our hope does not rely on our own perfection, but on pointing our lives toward the empty tomb and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.Timestamps[00:00] Welcome & Opening Announcements[01:10] Honoring Dads & The Journey of Parenting[03:15] Introduction to Summer in the Psalms (Psalm 16)[04:38] Reading Scripture: Rightly Dividing Psalm 16:1-11[06:32] Choosing the Right Circle: Saints vs. Worldly Refuges[08:10] How Do We Bless God Back?[09:04] True Joy vs. Situational Happiness[10:20] Understanding David's Petition: "Preserve Me, Oh God"[12:17] Facing Isolation, Unfair Mistreatment, and Abandonment[14:40] The Four Core Sources of Abandonment in Life[21:07] Navigating the Epidemic of Fatherless Homes in America[24:11] The 4 Characteristics of a Godly Father and Role Model[25:26] 1.

Are you living faithfully, or are you living like a practical fool? In this powerful message, discover how wrong beliefs lead to wrong behaviors and learn how to step out of foolishness into God's grace and restoration.

In Message 2 of our Summer in the Psalms series, we dive deep into Psalm 14 to confront a challenging reality: what does it truly mean to be a "fool" in the eyes of God? While the world often defines foolishness as a lack of intelligence, scripture reveals that it is actually a heart issue, not a head issue. We break down the three biblical definitions of a fool, focusing specifically on the person who knows the truth but chooses to live according to their own fleshly desires anyway.

Through this study, we examine five dangerous characteristics of foolish living, including a lack of teachability, rejecting God's authority, self-reliance, and avoiding moral accountability. When we live as practical fools, we give God our leftovers—whether it is our time, talent, or treasure—and allow chaos to disrupt our relationships and spiritual growth.

But the sermon doesn't end in despair. Pointing to Romans 3 and the messianic hope found in Psalm 14:7, we are reminded that while sin affects us all, God remains infinitely faithful. If you are ready to stop playing the fool, own your mistakes, and step into true spiritual renewal, this message will guide you back to the heart of Christ.

Are you truly living a blessed life, or are you accidentally caught in a spiral of bad advice and compromised living? In this powerful message, we unpack the ultimate gateway to the scriptures and discover the exact blueprint for lasting joy, purpose, and spiritual stability. [12:16]Welcome to the kickoff of our new summer series, "Summer in the Psalms"! In this opening message, we dive deep into Psalm 1—the keeper of the door for the entire book of Psalms. We explore what it truly means to be "blessed" (or blissful) in a Western world that often cheapens blessings into material things. True biblical blessing isn’t about cars or money; it is a deep, unshakeable joy found exclusively in a rooted relationship with Jesus Christ. [13:32]We also address the subtle progression of compromise: walking in the counsel of the wicked, standing in the way of sinners, and sitting in the seat of mockers. By breaking down this "spiral of stupidity," we see how easily the wrong inner circle can pull us away from God's best. Learn how to break the cycle, shift your direction, and delight in the Word of God day and night so you can stand firm like a tree planted by streams of living water.

Does your everyday life reflect the true character of Christ, or is there a gap between what you say and how you actually live? In this powerful conclusion to the "Faith Under Pressure" series, Pastor Joel shares how our behavior and speech serve as the ultimate tools for sharing the gospel with a watching world.In this final message of the "Faith Under Pressure" series, ONE Church dives deep into the concluding chapter of the Book of Colossians. Drawing from Colossians 4:5-6 and verse 18, this sermon explores what it truly means to live out our faith on a macro level as personal witnesses for Jesus Christ. Paul, writing from a prison cell, reminds us that our ultimate priority shouldn’t be searching for comfort or freedom, but rather seeking every possible opportunity to share the gospel with the "outsiders" in our lives.Pastor Joel breaks down the two critical dimensions of personal witnessing: behavioral communication and verbal communication. Discover why a "high talk with a low walk" can damage your witness and how the Christian walk simply comes down to two repeated steps: aligning your attitude and your action with the heart of God. Through honest personal stories and a reminder that life is short, this message challenges us to redeem the time and treat every relationship, workplace interaction, or trip to the grocery store as a divine platform for God's kingdom.Finally, we learn the art of gracious speech that is seasoned with salt. True biblical wisdom requires us to speak with gentleness and respect, using words that build up rather than tear down. By preparing ourselves daily in the Word of God, we can learn how to personally answer each individual through their unique seasons of crisis. Watch this sermon to find out how you can withstand cultural pressure, walk in wisdom, and let the light of Christ shine through your daily routine.Timestamps[[00:00] Welcome & A Hilarious Technology Blunder[[04:25] Concluding the "Faith Under Pressure" Series[[05:00] Scripture Reading: Colossians 4:5-6, 18[[07:53] Macro vs. Micro Levels of Witnessing[[09:20] The Personal Touch: Why Paul Hand-Penned Verse 18[[11:15] Paul’s Prison Priority: Opportunity Over Comfort[[13:15] Two Aspects of Personal Witnessing: Behavioral vs. Verbal[[14:15] Behavioral Witnessing: Walk in Wisdom Toward Outsiders[[18:00] Two Simple Steps of the Christian Walk: Attitude & Action[[20:40] Keeping Our Witness Pure: A Lesson in Humility (Personal Story)[[25:50] Urgency in the Gospel: Life is a Vapor[[27:00] Redeeming the Time: Wasting Time Insults the Giver of Time[[34:15] Verbal Witnessing: Letting Your Speech Always Be Gracious[[36:45] Speech Seasoned with Salt: Being Prepared and Bringing Flavor[[39:10] Personal Evangelism: Listening and Responding to Each Person[[41:20] Closing Challenge & An Invitation to Salvation#colossians #FaithUnderPressure #PersonalWitness #ChristianWalk #ONEChurch #ONEChurchSCONE Church exists to help people become ONE with God, each other and their community.Our mission is to make sure NO ONE WALKS ALONE.

Are you treating your prayer life like a domestic intercom for comfort, or a wartime walkie-talkie for spiritual battle? Dive into this powerful message from Colossians 4 as we uncover how to ignite a consistent, watchful, and thankful prayer life that unlocks God's power in your daily walk.In Message 16 of our series "Colossians: Faith Under Pressure," Pastor Joel Hendricks walks us through Colossians 4:2-4, unpacking the transformative power of a dedicated prayer life. He challenges believers to move from treating prayer as a last resort to making it our first response. By exploring the Apostle Paul’s words written from a prison cell, we discover that true prayer isn't about seeking comfort—it's about seeking spiritual alignment and divine opportunities to share the gospel.The sermon breaks down three key characteristics of effective prayer: consistency, watchfulness, and thankfulness. Referencing insights from Dr. John Piper, Pastor Joel explains that prayer is designed to be a "wartime walkie-talkie" on the spiritual battlefield, keeping active soldiers connected to commanding headquarters. We learn how to build spiritual discipline, stay alert to distractions, and cultivate a lifestyle of gratitude that prevents our prayers from becoming entirely complaint-driven.Whether you are walking through a difficult season, battling daily distractions, or trying to win the battle for today, this sermon provides practical steps to revitalize your intimacy with Jesus. Don't let the enemy lull you to sleep; instead, step into the victory already won on the cross and let the fire of heaven fuel your communication with the Father.Timestamps[00:00] Welcome & Community Announcements[03:20] Context: Colossians Series & Looking Ahead to Summer in Psalms[05:16] Scripture Reading: Colossians 4:2-4[07:55] What is Prayer?

Strong families make strong churches, and strong churches build strong communities. Discover God’s original blueprint for parenting and obedience, and learn how to lead your home with the grace-filled power of the Gospel!In Message 15 of our series, "Colossians: Faith Under Pressure," Lead Pastor Joel Hendricks dives into Colossians 3:20-21 to unpack the crucial dynamics of the Christian family. Continuing our study of orthopraxy (right Christian behavior flowing from right biblical thinking), this message details how the Gospel radically shifts the relationship between children and parents. We learn that strong families are foundational to strong churches and healthy communities.First, children of all ages are called to honor God through their obedience. True, biblical obedience is not just about avoiding punishment—it is an ultimate act of worship that pleases the Lord and builds vital traits of trust and humility. Then, the scriptural focus pivots heavily onto parents. Parents are divinely tasked with reflecting God's heart through intentional encouragement rather than provoking their children to anger, bitterness, or resentment.Pastor Joel breaks down the hidden traps of modern parenting—including overprotection, a lack of clear biblical standards, destructive criticism, and excessive discipline—explaining how these behaviors can embitter a child and break their spirit. Ultimately, this sermon challenges fathers and mothers to be the "lead repenters" of their households, showing physical and verbal affection while modeling the exact grace and patience that Christ continually extends to us.Timestamps[00:00] - Welcome, Family Celebrations & The Value of Strong Families[01:42] - Context of Colossians 3: Moving from Doctrine to Family Duty[03:09] - Scripture Focus: Colossians 3:20-21[05:05] - Part 1: Children Honoring God Through Obedience[09:51] - Why Obedience is a Direct Act of Worship to the Lord[11:49] - How Obedience Teaches Trust, Humility, and Character[16:43] - Part 2: Parents Reflecting God Through Loving Leadership[22:32] - Hidden Traps of Parenting: Overprotection vs. Lack of Standards[27:43] - The Danger of Favoritism, Entitlement, and Not Listening[31:39] - Shifting Away From Destructive Criticism and Unrealistic Goals[34:04] - Showing Verbal and Physical Affection in the Home[37:54] - Discipline with Love: Avoiding the Trap of Excessive Anger[40:32] - Reflection Questions, Closing Prayer & Altar Invitation#Colossians #FaithUnderPressure #BiblicalParenting #ChristianFamily #ONEChurch #JoelHendricksONE Church exists to help people become ONE with God, each other and their community.
