#NoNeutralGround
“I mean, the Bible tells us that to refuse to do good is evil. We as people like to make everything grayscale. We like to think that, you know, if I if this is good and this is evil that we can place somewhere here in the middle. But no. It's not. We're either doing good or we're doing evil. That is our only two choices. We're either sinning or we're not sinning. That's our only two choices. The Bible tells us that if we're not doing good, we are doing evil. There's no neutral ground.”

“And so I want us to look at this story this morning, kinda see where we can fit into this moment. This moment with Jesus, this story that is happening, where do we fit into this story? Where can we identify with the disciples here? So the first thing I wanna look at is what Jesus said. He said, come with me and get some rest. Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest. How many of us this morning need some rest?”
40s
“If you're sitting here and struggling, am I more concerned about following worldly wisdom or biblical wisdom? Do the fruit test. Look at Galatians five here and say, does my life reflect love, peace, joy, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control? And if not, why? Because maybe we're going to the source of following our own desires, our own needs, and worldly wisdom rather than following what God says of how we're supposed to live. Because following biblical wisdom will transform us to reflect Jesus more in our lives.”

#HopeInTheEverlastingRefuge
“All of your sins are forgiven. The things you've left undone are forgiven. The things you have done are forgiven. This is how powerful the work of Jesus Christ is. It's more powerful than your sin. It's more powerful than all the stuff that you've done wrong. All your bad stuff that you think about, that you accuse yourself about, is done. Jesus paid for it. That's how perfect his life was—100% holy, completely innocent. He did that and then he went to the cross and he gave you his righteousness. He took your sin and he gave you all the right and so you're free. He's paid for it. Believe that, receive that, walk in that, live your life that way. This is who he is and this is who we now are in him.”
15s
“We all have different sensitivities. We all have wisdom in different areas. So I think that kind of corporate aspect is very, very important. Being aware of ones own weaknesses, I think, is significant as well.”

#LovePeopleOverPractice
“``Only got one application for you today. Love people more than you love practices. You probably could have guessed that before I ever got there. Love people more than you love practices. I started here and this is where we're gonna end. It's easy for us two thousand years later to look at the Pharisees and go, what? I don't get it. But I think if we were completely honest, we do the exact same thing sometimes. We're more interested in practice than we are people.”
54s
#MercyReflectsFaith
“We we can put it another way and say a merciful spirit is a sign of having received mercy. An unmerciful spirit is one that hasn't experienced that. How can I declare and say, I am a follower of Jesus Christ if I don't care about people? Jesus cared enough to die for people. Therefore, it is important to me or should be to care for people. Furthermore, if you've experienced the love, the grace, the mercy of Jesus, how can you not want someone to experience it?”

#FaithNotSchedules
“I want you to think about this. Church times when I mean church times like 10:00, 11:00, They're not going to heaven. see nowhere in the Bible that when they get to heaven, it's like, what time was your worship service? Oh, 11:00 people you're over there. Saturday night people? Oh, the few of you are over here. Church times aren't going to heaven. Worship styles, whether you like this or not, worship styles aren't going to heaven. Religious practices are not going to heaven. Matter of fact, Jesus tells us that there's gonna be a bunch of people, a bunch of good church people that are gonna think they belong in heaven because of their practices. And he's gonna look at them and go, yeah, but you didn't know me.”

#MercyIsRefuge
“``There is a lie about mercy that is implanted by the evil one in our hearts that first entered us when creation was corrupted at Adam and Eve's choice to eat the forbidden fruit. They welcomed sin and death into the world, and right there, they believed the first lie about God. That he was not someone to hide in, but someone to hide from. Yet in his mercy, God clothes them, covers their sin and their shame, pointing to the ultimate one who would cover the sin and shame to come, his son Jesus Christ. And in David's story, we see him chased down by God, not out of anger, but out of mercy and compassion for David. To teach his feet to run to God for mercy because God and his being is full of it and ready to give it. And so this is why David can write, you are my hiding place. The lie is that we cannot expect mercy from God. But the truth is is that he's compassionate, full of mercy.”

#ForestOfSupport
“And so there's a few situations in which these trees will communicate to one another. First, in a threat of danger. So if insects or there's disease, they'll send distress signals to the other trees through the fungal network warning them, and so the other trees will begin to develop a defense enzyme to protect themselves. They'll also share resources with one another. When a certain tree in a forest or in need is in need of nutrients or water, the tree begins to communicate to those in need through the fungi root system network. And so all the trees start giving their own nutrients to the malnourished tree. And here's the thing, the trees are not concerned about the cost of giving up their own nutrients, but about the health of the whole forest. God's mercy moves us to the altar, and the altar moves us toward each other. The kind of church community that God is calling us to be a part of is one that cares less about ourselves and deeply about the health and transformation of the whole church.”

Why Murfreesboro churches are unique

Anchored by Middle Tennessee State University, churches in Murfreesboro lean into a true college-town rhythm, blending intellectual curiosity with approachable worship. You’ll find ministries that mentor emerging leaders, host late-evening gatherings, and build bridges between campus life and local careers—college student ministries, young adults and professionals, career networking and mentoring.
Rapid growth in neighborhoods like Blackman, the Gateway area, and west-side subdivisions has produced a strong family footprint, and Murfreesboro churches reflect it. To meet busy commutes and youth sports schedules, many offer multiple Sunday options, vibrant children’s spaces, and neighborhood-based groups—strong kids programs for young families, multiple service times and venues, small group culture.
With a widening cultural mix and a crossroads location along I-24, worship life feels welcoming and global, from bilingual services to practical help for newcomers. Grounded by local history and a tradition of volunteerism—shaped by places like Stones River and by community response after severe weather—many congregations emphasize outward service—multicultural and bilingual services, ESL and citizenship classes, community service and disaster relief.
