Winter SWO | Jon Rouleau 

In this message from Winter SWO, Jon Rouleau challenges us to reflect on the value of following Christ despite life's difficulties. He reminds us that nothing worth having comes easily, including a life devoted to Jesus. As believers, we are called to embrace suffering, knowing that it is part of our journey to fulfill our ultimate purpose—knowing God. Drawing from Philippians 3, Jon shares three principles for pressing on in faith: 

1) Let Go of the Baggage

2) Pursue Your Calling 

3) Respond to God's Call Today 

Jon closes with three questions: What do you need to let go of today? What has God called you to right now? Are you giving your best effort in following Him?

• Philippians 3
• Romans 12:19

Spencer Davis | Winter SWO

In this sermon, Spencer tackles the question, "Why do bad things happen to good people?" using the story of Job. Spencer emphasizes that our questions come from a limited perspective, like a child not understanding the bigger picture. He then focuses on Jesus, who humbled Himself to die for sinners like us. The real mystery isn’t why bad things happen, but why God would die for us. Trust Jesus, follow His example of humility, and serve others. Even if we don’t have all the answers, we can trust the God who gave everything for us.

• Philippians 2
• Job 38

Brody Holloway | WinterSWO

Following Jesus demands wholehearted devotion, shaping every aspect of our lives to reflect his Gospel. This commitment comes at a cost, requiring sacrifice and unwavering faith. Yet, through Christ’s providence, power, promises, and perseverance, we find true purpose and worth in him. Though challenges such as opposition and personal loss may arise, the eternal significance of discipleship far outweighs the risks. This session examines the cost of following Christ and the strength he provides to persevere.

Brody Holloway | Pure and Holy

In this Pure and holy session, Brody talks about how the lies we believe can impact our lives and our relationships. Satan is the father of all lies, and when we stray from God’s truth, we believe these lies. Brody shares some real examples of the world's lies–such as finding happiness in unhealthy relationships or things like pornography—leave us feeling empty.

But Jesus is the only one who can truly fulfill us. He offers forgiveness, healing, and restoration, no matter our past. True contentment and strength come from Him alone.

JB Kidd | Pure and Holy

In this Pure and Holy breakout session, JB Kidd reflects on her journey of faith and challenges us to move beyond rules and understand the true meaning of purity and holiness. Using Romans 12:1-2, she emphasizes the importance of renewing our minds through the Holy Spirit and aligning our lives with God’s will. 

JB addresses the questions we need to ask ourselves like: What does it mean to renew our minds in Christ? Who or what is shaping our thoughts? Are we allowing Scripture to transform us, or are we letting culture dictate our lives? Through real-life examples and biblical insight, JB encourages young ladies to shift their focus from worldly influences to the life-changing power of God's Word, urging everyone to believe in the transformative power of the Gospel.
