#HopeInJesus
“God has not forgotten his people. Just as he doesn't forget us, he doesn't forget the redemption that he has planned in store for them. Even when it seems all hope is gone, even when it seems like there's just nothing left and, ugh, like there's there's just no hope. There is always hope in Jesus.”
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.”
27s
#PowerOfTheBlood
“And the purpose, again, is to emphasize what God is trying to teach of we needing atoning, we needing redemption, we needing... We can't get to our our our own way. Because right now, the Jewish people, we try to find different ways. We we we find it through prayer and and through good deeds and and through, repentance, but it's not enough. The Lord says that that the power was in the blood of the sacrifice.”
28s
#KingdomRestoration
“Jesus has a plan right now. He's working right now. Right now, as we're going forth, bringing more to faith, bringing more into that barn right now. It's to prepare for that great and terrible day when Jesus comes back. And, again, he's gonna restore his kingdom. He's gonna bring back that booth that seemed fallen, that seemed, just completely forgotten. But instead, he has a plan of redemption for his people and for all of us to be saved through him.”
45s
#SurrenderToGod
“Jesus longs to gather you with his arms like a hen does the baby chicks, but are you willing? Are you willing today to say, God, I want it to be your way. It might cost me, but you're worth it. It might embarrass me to have to admit to someone what I've done or how I've been, but you're worth it.”
72s
#FaithAndForgiveness
“You may have to go back to your spouse and say, I'm sorry I've made this all about me instead of us. You may have to go to your employer and say I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I stopped seeing working here as a blessing to meet my needs. You may have to look in the mirror and pray in your heart and say, God, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I forgot. I work for you. You don't work for me. And even if you never did another thing for me other than send Jesus to live, die, and raise again, that would already be more than I ever could deserve.”
45s
#JesusIsLord
“So so that's what we've got going on here. Here's the messiah. Jesus is not just God's Son, he's God the Son and he's in their midst and he wants to gather them up. Here's what he's saying. I want to save you. I want to give you the life and deliver you which is what they were hoping their messiah would do. But when they realized that he had to be boss and they had to follow, they said, no, thank you. That's the sticking point with sharing the gospel today is getting someone lost and then helping them realize that if they're going to come to Christ, if they're going to be saved from their sin, they have to have a new Lord.”
58s
#FaithInAction
“How can be how can you love the Lord better? How can you love the Lord more? How can you love the Lord more consistently? How can you love the Lord more publicly? See, that's the thing. We've been told in our world that your salvation is personal and therefore it should remain private. while it is personal, it was never meant to be private. What needs to change? Understand. I'm not saying what can you do to get God to love you. That's that's not it. Right? Because if you've been forgiven, how much does God know? When does he know it? So it's all done. Right? But the question is how can I give him my best to show him how much I appreciate him for all he's forgiven me?”
32s
#SameGrace
“So we have two debtors with different amounts but the same debt, and we have two debtors with different amounts and the same grace. Make no mistake. If you were saved at six and you've walked with Jesus your whole life, you have received the same amount of grace as that person who came off of death row. Because here's the reality. When Jesus died on the cross, it was for the sins of the world.”
32s
#NoMoreLabels
“But now he's saying, well, evidently he must not be because if he were, if he were a prophet, he would know who what kind of woman this is that's touching him and he would reject her like all the rest of us have. Why would I say it that way? Because, again, she is a sinner. And although we are all sinners, we tend to label people according to those who struggle with sins, we don't.”

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.
