In the conclusion of our tag team messages, His glory was revealed through Peyton Tillman today. He shared that Jesus saved him from a life of darkness and anxiety but that he had to submit to God for it to happen. What powerful and hope filled message today. We pray it encourages you as much as it encouraged those in the room.

Glory was revealed today through Renee Barber and John Walker as they participated in our Tag Team preach. Renee posed the question, Are you prepared, while John challenged us to ‘keep turning’ in his message, Set Free. 

We hope these messages help you to Know Jesus and Discover His Purpose for your life.

Our series, “Glory Revealed,”continues, in this season of Epiphany, with a message from Purpose Worship’s very own, Will Hamilton titled, The Fish ain’t bitin’.  He uses the text from Mark 1:14-17, when Jesus was calling his disciples to come and follow him.  Will shares a wonderful story of growing up in East Tennessee and his own “fishing boat” to help in illustrating the meaning of glory.  He uses examples from his own experience of becoming self-reliant in response to circumstances in his life, pursuing glory for attention.

Will teaches about the pitfalls of counterfeit glory, such as things we acquire, things we accomplish, career, spouse, kids, and social media.  He also said, “You can’t expect to see the full glory revealed when you are living under a glorified version of yourself.”

The questions this week are where are you trying to find glory and what happens when those things fail you? 

The message concludes with the reassurance that we are His masterpiece. That we are not evil, if we have been seeking glory apart from Him and that when He created us, He said, “It. Is. Good”.

Our new series, “Glory Revealed” embraces this season of Epiphany, where the majesty of Jesus shines bright among us.  As part of this series, Ps Aaron is thrilled to pass the torch to voices like Brandon Gilbert, our esteemed youth leader.  Brandon shared his message titled, Three ‘Sees’, where he used John 1:43-51 to illustrate his points around Come and See, Jesus Sees Us, and We Will See. No matter what stage of faith you are experiencing right now, greater things are still to come.

The challenge for this week comes in three questions:

What have you seen? Who have you told? What have you done?

For a child has been born—for us! The gift of a son—for us! He’ll take over the running of the world. His names will be: Amazing Counselor, Strong God, Eternal Father, Prince of Wholeness. Isaiah 9:6 MSG

These are not intended to be the literal names of Jesus . Instead, they are a fulfillment of a promise, aspects of His character. They describe who HE is and what He has come to do FOR US.

This Christmas, our prayer is that wherever you find yourself, you would come to KNOW that the promise we read in Isaiah is still true FOR US today. That Jesus came to be an Amazing Counselor, Strong God, Eternal Father, a Prince of Wholeness, FOR YOU, FOR US!

For a Child has been born - FOR US!

Merry Christmas Purpose Church, we love you!

See you January 7th, 2024

For Us, our Advent series continues with Everlasting Father this week.! Our text is from Isaiah 9:1-7, and each week we learn more about the characteristics of Jesus from the different names prophesied about Him hundreds of years prior to His birth.

We learn about the origin of the words Father and Everlasting in the Hebrew, and that together they mean “possessor of” and “without end.”  He is our eternal protector. 

As we have been discussing darkness each week, this week’s question is simply, “Are you afraid of the dark?” Maybe it is the literal dark or the potential darkness that could be around the corner.  He is our protective Father, even if your earthly Father has fallen short in that area.

We hope this season of Advent and, more specifically these messages will give you Hope and invite you to draw closer to Jesus, who LOVES YOU!

If you are in need of prayer, would you let us know? We would love to pray with you and for you as God continues to reveal His grace and truth to you in a real and powerful way!

The awe and wonder of the Advent season is here! Our series, For Us, began with a look at Isaiah 9:1-7 and this week we focused on another aspect of Jesus character, as a Mighty God. 

Our Mighty God is truly the only hero we need! Possibly the reason why there are so many hero movies is because everyone truly wants to be rescued, or to be saved. 

Who have you looked to as a hero? Are you now ready to turn to the ultimate hero, who will never fail you, Jesus? 

We hope this season of Advent and, more specifically these messages will give you Hope and invite you to draw closer to Jesus, who LOVES YOU!

If you are in need of prayer, would you let us know? We would love to pray with you and for you as God continues to reveal His grace and truth to you in a real and powerful way!

The awe and wonder of the Advent season has begun! Our series, For Us, began with a look at Isaiah 9:1-7 and the first of four names that were prophesied in this text, Wonderful Counselor. 

Just as the people of Israel were facing darkness when this beautiful hope was spoken out, we may find ourselves in a season of darkness. It may be caused by distress, mourning, sin or struggling with a secret. Darkness is not a promise. It is not the end. Jesus is the promise. Are you or someone you know walking in a season of darkness?

Jesus is a Wonderful Counselor. Wonderful here is defined as incomprehensible or too difficult to understand. He brings light to the darkness and the darkness can not overcome it. He brings counsel, He guides, and He advises.

Who do you turn to first for counsel when you are walking in darkness?

We hope this season of Advent and more so specifically these messages will give you Hope and invite you to draw closer to Jesus, who LOVES YOU!

Sunday was special, profound and life giving. We are so incredibly proud of our Purpose panel!

This past Sunday, Ps. Aaron led a conversation around our Purpose as a church, Make Disciples, with four people from our community: Renee, Kathy, Will and Luke. They are all on different journeys in their discipleship formation. Our text was from Matthew 28:20, TEACH these new disciples, and the question posed was simply ‘What have you learned?’ From being enough, to finding security in Jesus, to realizing you're never too old or too late, and if you're feeling stagnant or complacent, maybe it’s time to get out of the boat and follow Jesus. This conversation has something for everyone!

So listen, be open to reflect, and when it’s over, ask yourself, what have you learned? Then, share that with someone over this holiday season. We are certain it will be an encouragement to all who hear it. 

This series has been so rich and important for us as we step into this new season. @wearepurposechurch it’s time to PRESS ON!

If you are in need of prayer, would you let us know? We would love to pray with you and for you as God continues to reveal His grace and truth to you in a real and powerful way!

We had the privilege of having Ps John Scott, his family and part of their @christ2culture family worshiping with us at Purpose Church.  Ps John, who we all consider family, brought an incredible word that was right on time, as Ps Aaron was away at a conference this Sunday.

He continued our Vision Sunday Continued series with a brilliant message, Partnering with God.  The main text was Isaiah 6:8, which was familiar, but the teaching around it was life changing.  It was only after the purifying encounter with God that he was able to say, “Here I am. Send Me.” not “where are we going? Or how long will it take?”  We rationalize because when we don’t have the encounter first.

Ps John continued to teach how God uses man, through the vehicle of purpose to accomplish HIS will. He shared a long list of people in the Bible and how God used them, in very different ways, to accomplish His plans. 

If you were away and missed it or if you want to listen again, you can do that here. 

A reminder that next Sunday, we will be meeting at 9am for our first Serve Day.  Dress warmly and join us for  prayer, coffee and serving our community in love.

If you are in need of prayer, would you let us know? We would love to pray with you and for you as God continues to reveal His grace and truth to you in a real and powerful way!
