#GodChoosesTheWeak
“I know that you're awesome. But did you know you're not awesome to everybody? I mean, we we get this thought that, you know, the reason that I'm in God's kingdom, the reason that I've been saved is because because I'm awesome and God needed me. That is not the that is not the truth. The truth is, as Paul would say to the Corinthians, none of you were very bright. None of you had a bunch of money. None of you had any power. God didn't pick the things of this world that this world values to be his kingdom. He chose the people whose lives would show that only God can do this.”
35s
#TruthMattersJesusIsLord
“Think for just a moment about some of the messages that are being communicated in our culture today. And not just communicated, but demonstrated in a way that you you should believe and should agree and should support these ideas. And yet behind those ideas is a belief that that God does not even exist. And behind some of those ideas is the belief that Jesus was not the son of God, that he didn't come in the flesh. And and and along with that, that Jesus is not the way of salvation.”
41s
#ClothedInRighteousness
“Because hope is believing in a better tomorrow. But if you're in the presence of the Lord, dressed in your wedding clothes, enjoying the feast, every day is gonna be awesome, and there won't be a better day tomorrow. If you are in the presence of God, dressed in the wedding clothes of Christ's righteousness, sitting at the banquet, faith is believing in what you cannot see, but then you will see, so faith will be gone. What will be left? A love that says to God, the only reason I'm here is because you did it all.”
52s
#MoreOfJesus
“As we hear his call and as we respond to his invitation, as we come into his presence and are clothed in Christ's righteousness and we're part of his kingdom, we find out that we want more and more and more of him. And the sin that trips us up, we don't want anymore. And the encumbrance that holds us back from running for him as fast as we can is gone. Oh, it comes back, and we have to put it off again. And it comes back, we put it off again. But here's the difference. For a believer, for a true believer, when faced with that, we don't want it here anymore.”
54s
#FeastIsReady
“What in this life is worth missing out on fellowship with the father? Business? Football? School? Golf? Work. What in this life is worth missing out on fellowship with the father? Think just a minute. He said the feast is ready. The food is prepared. The table is set. All you have to do is come.”
34s
#ComeForTheSavior
“The king shows up, this guy's there. He's trying to take advantage of being around. By the way, that was the whole idea. Jesus was surrounded by crowds all the time, right? And yet he knew that some of them were there for the food, some of them were there for the miracles, but only those who were there for a savior benefited. That's the wedding clothes. Without the wedding clothes, there is no hope.”
41s
#HumbledBeforeGod
“Nobody is gonna stand before the judgment seat of God and say, you have no right to judge me. Because like Isaiah, in Isaiah chapter six, seeing the holiness of God, they're gonna instead fall on her face and say, I'm undone. Because I know who I am, and I know what I've done. I know what I thought. I know what I've said. And I know it was not glorifying to God and I know it wasn't even kind to others. And I deserve to be separated from you.”
46s
#GodLovesYou
“See, Jesus told this story to the religious leaders as another act of saying to them, God loves you and wants you to be part of his kingdom. And he had this, shared this message this morning to say to you here today, God loves you and he wants you to be part of his kingdom. But to do so, we must turn away from trying to establish our own righteousness and set our own rules and do our own thing. And we must turn away, repent from that sin, place our faith in what Jesus did on the cross, what he did with his life, and what he won in his victory as being all we need to be welcome to the feast.”
32s
#RepentNotParty
“But we have to realize that that people are called to repentance, not just a party. People are called to repentance, not just a party. We can't go into the marriage feast dressed in our works, in our sin, without being covered by the righteousness of Christ, or we won't be there.”
65s
#TurnAroundRepent
“And so what does God want us to do? What did what did Peter say when he preached that first sermon The Pentecost. They were broken. They were torn because they told him, you crucified the messiah. You killed Jesus. You killed God the son on a cross. And they said, oh, no. What do we do? And Jesus said, repent and go public with your repentance through baptism. But what was the what was the act? Repent. That that's a word that means to turn around, to turn around. It's not the same word as regret earlier. Remember? You still got your finger there? I said we'd come back to that. Because there's two different concepts here. One is he regretted how he had responded to the father, but that wasn't repentance. Repentance is when he got up and went.”

Why Afton churches are unique

Set along Historic Route 66 and a short drive from Grand Lake o’ the Cherokees, churches in Afton blend small-town roots with traveler-friendly hospitality. Many Afton churches shape ministries around weekend lake traffic and road-tripper flow, emphasizing welcome for Route 66 travelers, lake community outreach, and flexible weekend service times.
Rural rhythms define daily life, from ranching to school sports, so congregations lean into neighbors-helping-neighbors and tight-knit mentoring. That means multi-generational church congregations, strong kids programs for young families, and practical care like community meals and food pantry.
Spiritually, most gatherings favor clear Bible teaching and a mix of old and new music, reflecting both tradition and a forward-looking community spirit. You’ll often see blended worship with hymns and modern, a focus on expository Bible teaching, and collaborative outreach through interchurch service projects that honor local history and the diverse cultures of northeast Oklahoma.
