Sometimes our world collapses. We experience a loss that changes everything. When this happens, we enter into the first stage of grief: shock/denial.

First Church of Christ, Bluffton

Shock/Denial - Stages: Good Grief

A lot of times, we try to control a large part of our lives and when we cling for control, we tend to make things worse. In this message, we'll find freedom through leaving room for God to lead.

Leave Room - The Good Life

What does it look like to live a peaceful life in a world that lacks peace? That’s what we see in this week of The Good Life.

What to Do With the Evil in Your Pocket - The Good Life

Our society is lacking a frame, lacking a foundation, lacking an anchor. Our world is, in many ways, unhinged. This world needs an antidote and the church has the answer.

The Antidote to Our Unhinged World - The Good Life

Many of us feel depleted, weary, and isolated. But God wants us to live full, hopeful, and purposeful. But the only way we move to that full, hopeful, and purposeful life is through practicing the presence of God. In this message, we talk about what that is and how to implement it into our every day lives.

Practicing the Presence of God - The Good Life

Living Life in Genuine Community - The Good Life

What does the good life really look like? Well, it begins with such a vital truth: you were meant to make a difference. But what does that look like? Let's talk about it.

You Were Meant to Make a Difference - The Good Life

How can we move forward even in the midst of difficult circumstances? Find out how in this message by student pastor, Taylor Thompson.

Fortify: Rejoicing Through Suffering with Prayer - Battlezone

After we've done reconnaissance on the lies believe and wage war on those lies with truth from God's word, we must submit to that truth through a regime change. In this message, we're going to learn how to reframe how we view our past, the future, and the world in general.

Regime Change: Reframing How We View the World - Battlezone

If we want to win the battle that is raging in our minds, we need to not only identify the lies we believe, but we also need to wage war on them with the truth of God's word.

Wage War: Demolish Your Strongholds - Battlezone

We have an enemy who wants to wage a battle for our minds. And the main way he does this is by putting lies in front of us and disguising them as truth. In this message, we're going to learn how to identify the lies we believe so that we can speak the truth against them.

Reconnaissance: Identifying the Lies We Believe - Battlezone

First Church of Christ has been a church for 100 years. Many people have served Jesus along the way to get us to today. But the question for us all who are here right now is this: what will people say about us 20, 50, 100 years from now? The key to making the impact God is calling us to make is this: to see that we are sent.

Seeing That You're Sent - Centennial Celebration

Message from Brandon Kelley on August 8, 2021

Are You Sure You're Not Supposed to Judge?

One of the most basic lines of code in programming is the if-then statement. But computer programs aren't the only ones with if-then statements. All of us, over time, have written some unspoken if-then statements--and many of them aren't healthy. As James concludes his letter, he wants to help us rewrite some of our if/then statements.
