As we step into a new church year together. we’re reminded how the Spirit unites diverse people around “one Lord, one faith, one baptism,” and one mission. We are called to pursue uncommon unity a church, and that means fighting against anything that would threaten to unnecessarily divide us. In this sermon, we work the words of Scripture in Ephesians 5:3-5 and I Timothy 5:13 and think on what it would look like for Seven Mile Road to be a place where unity is evident and gossip is unknown.

A 5 minute refresher on how we stay in touch with each other at Seven Mile Road.

In this sermon, we work through John's addresses to three different audiences in the church: "little children," "fathers," and "young men." John speaks words of comfort to folks across the spectrum of spiritual maturity, reminding each of them that God is for them in the gospel.

One of the most devastating things that happens in the life of a church is that sometimes folks who you’ve loved and served and trusted - who seemed like they were all-in on Christ and His church - walk away, leaving behind not only the relationships you’ve built, but their faith in Christ as well. When that happens, it naturally hurts and confuses us. How do we process it? In this sermon, we see that the people John was writing to experienced this same hard reality (I John 2:19), and we hear from the Spirit on why God allows this to happen.

Heather and Matt talk about everything that's gearing up for the start of a new church year at Seven Mile Road.

In this podcast, we walk through "the anatomy of a Seven Mile Road sermon" by explaining how a message on I John 5:3 was built. Why do we preach the way we do? Listening to these 30 minutes will give you some insight into the process.

In this sermon, we hit the words of I John 5:1-2 where we John spirals back again (again!) and loops all three of his “tests” together like cords in a rope. Sound doctrine, personal holiness, and brotherly love are a package deal. This truth has massive implications for our efforts to build a legit church together.

In this podcast, we lay down some of the plans we have for student ministry at Seven Mile Road.
