“Listen. Just real talk. The body of Christ, it's such a beautiful place of tension. And and I want to share my perspective with you because it may it may be different than yours, just where I'm looking every week, every month, every season, every season, there is great celebration sitting beside great waiting, sitting beside unfathomable grief. Every season, every season a child is born, every season a couple waits and every season someone buries a child. It's the beautiful, horrible tension of the body of Christ that someone here is sick and dying while someone here is healed and celebrating while someone here just got back from a funeral.”

“You're not even going to remember. Well, you won't sit there before God with your fist and say, how dare you? You will not. You you know what you will say in that moment? It was all worth it. It was all worth it. in your presence There's nothing too wonderful for you. There's nothing too wonderful for you. So we live with hope.”
48s
“Sometimes, who is God, waits until the circumstances become impossible for him to act because he doesn't work like we do. And so you don't need to make excuses. You don't need to help him. You don't need to come up with natural explanations for a supernatural god. Christ is counterintuitive. That's my second point. Christ is counterintuitive. He doesn't work within our natural barriers. He he doesn't work with within human logic, and we're often expecting God to work in a certain way in a certain time frame, but his means, his methods, his economy, and certainly his time frame are different than ours.”
28s
“He said people all around us were getting pregnant and pregnant out of wedlock, unwanted pregnancies, and we wait. Why us, Lord? Why did this happen? And then they adopt their first child eventually, and he said, oh, it had to happen. And then they adopt their third child, and they said, oh. He said, we're just now at a place where we can say we never would have thought we can say, we're glad it happened.”
29s
“"And so we are to judge others, but point one, we're so often a bad judge of others. Okay, let's keep going in the text. It's Matthew three, or it's Matthew seven, verse three. Jesus says, why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank, in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, let me take the speck out of your eye, when all the time there's a plank in your own eye?"”
26s
“"And so what would it look like to you, do some self-examination to figure out why we have a log in our own eye? Psalm 139, 23 through 24 says, search me, God, and know my heart. Test me, and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Removing the log is not easy, but when we do, it allows us to focus on the speck in our brother or sister."”
25s
“"And so what does that look like practically? So this is like you show up for life group with your life group, and you know, they're in the room, and let's say there's five couples in the room, or let's say there's eight singles in the room. And you show up to group, and you're an expert on the sin of the other seven people, but don't do any self-reflection. That is what Jesus is addressing here."”
26s
“"And so we need to learn how to judge well. Point one says we're a bad judge of others. So Jesus uses a play on words here. He says, you will be judged by the judgment with which you judge. It will be measured to you by the measure with which you measure. In other words, what goes around comes around. And so because we're a bad judge of others, we need to learn how to judge rightly."”
19s
“"We are bad judges of one another. And so I wanna bring some clarity to you. Some of you may say, well, I don't judge others, or I'm really a good judge. Well, I'm gonna give you, this is not an exhaustive list, but six different ways in which we take to judge incorrectly, how we're bad judges of others."”

“"I don't know why cancer exists. I don't know why marriages are broken. I don't know why kids go prodigal. I know why, because we're in a broken world. But I know that I'm a good father. I don't want this gift of singleness. I don't want the gift of this broken marriage. I don't want cancer. I don't want this broken relationship. I don't want my child to go prodigal. Why have you given me this gift?"”

Why McGregor churches are unique

Rooted in a small Central Texas town with deep agricultural ties and long-standing family networks, churches in McGregor tend to feel highly relational and intergenerational. Many prioritize rhythms that match school calendars and community life—think pastoral care that knows your grandparents and your kids—alongside steady discipleship. You’ll often see small group culture, strong kids programs for young families, and expository Bible teaching shaping weekly gatherings.
Proximity to Waco’s universities and employers—and the SpaceX rocket test site nearby—brings commuters, students, and engineers through town, creating a surprisingly diverse mix for such a close-knit place. In response, McGregor churches often blend traditional roots with fresh expressions, featuring tech-friendly environments, flexible schedules, and pathways welcoming newcomers. Look for modern worship with contemporary band, ministries for young adults and professionals, and partnerships that support college student ministries.
Set amid farmland with easy access to regional rail and highways, the community keeps a small-town pace while serving families across nearby rural neighborhoods. This geography, together with a growing Hispanic presence, nudges congregations toward practical compassion and hospitality. Many McGregor churches emphasize bilingual Spanish English services, visible community food pantry outreach, and hands-on local mission and service projects.
