#NoGrayArea
“I want to end with this understanding. I mentioned this at the beginning, but I want to make sure we are very clear on this. There are only two options. Hearing or not hearing. Doing or not doing. I believe there's way too many people that have bought into the idea that there's a gray area in the middle someplace. That I can be okay and just be in the gray area. Jesus never gives us a third option. It's either follow him or reject him. It's either yes, Lord, or it's no, Lord. There is no in between.”

#StayConnectedToTheVine
“``You see, the branch does not produce fruit because it tries harder. The branch does not produce fruit because it attended a class about fruit. The branch does not produce fruit because it has a history of producing fruit. The truth is a branch produces fruit because it remained connected to the life giving source of the vine. The branch's responsibility is not production. Its responsibility is to remain connected that the source can provide the provision for the fruit. Because the vine produces life, and the vine produces the nutrients. The vine produces the ability. The branch simply stays connected.”

“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?”

“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.”

“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.”

#YesLord
“Now, a Lord is someone that is over you. They have power over you. They can command you. You must obey them. They even potentially have the power of life and death over you. So what Jesus is saying is that this term Lord is the language of the disciple. If you are a disciple of Jesus Christ, he is your Lord. And there is no room and there's no vocabulary that uses the word no and Lord in the same sentence. The only thing that we can say is, yes, Lord.”
51s
#BuildOnJesus
“So I ask today, which is your foundation? Which is your foundation that you're building upon? Are you building upon the foundation of Jesus? Are you building on the foundation of self? There is no other option. If you build upon self, when the storms come, and then ultimately when the end comes, you're gonna crash, you're gonna be destroyed. If you build upon Jesus, when the storms come, when the end comes, you'll be able to stand for all eternity with Jesus Christ.”

#JesusMattersMost
“I can still I can still remember that, mister. Praise be to God how God has used your life. You don't even realize it. But in the relationship of Lord Jesus Christ, God uses each and every one of you in this room. And I wanna encourage you to tell you this. When I started the the message and I said, hey, do you matter? Will your life count? I said, the answer is yes. But let me tell you how it makes matters even better. It's when Jesus matters and when Jesus makes a difference in your life. If you'll begin to let Jesus matter and let the things that matter to him matter to you, And I promise you the things where Jesus is making a difference in your life, he'll show you exactly how he wants to make a difference in those lives around you.”

#WorkEthicLegacy
“And I kinda like the idea of a Labor Day weekend because I'm thankful for people who work. I grew up in a in in a in a home that valued work. My dad at, before he died at 52 years of age, he had worked twenty nine years at the same company without missing a date. He was very loyal. He was very he was willing to work. My mom, she's about to be 83. She'd kill me if I told you that, but she still works thirty five, forty hours a week. You know? I, my both my grandparents, they all worked. I I grew up being around people that understood the value and the importance of going to a job, working. And I'm forever grateful for that. I don't there's not a day that I wake up and wonder, well, am gonna miss work or not? I I work on sick days. I don't wanna be off on sick days. I wanna be off on the days I feel good.”

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.
