#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.”

#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?”
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.”

“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.”

#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.”

#BeWhoGodCreated
“But I think, first of all, that when we think about being God's workmanship, I think there is a responsibility. We all have a responsibility to be who God's called us to be and to do what God's called us to do. I think one of the worst mistakes we make in our lives is trying to be something that we're not. I think so many people try to dress up, clean up, act up, whatever they try to do, and they're just they're they're killing the workmanship of God because they're trying to be somebody else. The best thing you can do is just be who you are. Be who God created you to be.”
57s
#SendMeToServe
“But I wanna suggest this. If you really wanna make sure God will not say no, instead of asking God to send somebody else, ask God to send you. Yeah. God send use me. God, today as I go to work, put somebody in my way that I can talk to about you. God, as I'm standing in line at Kroger, at Walmart, put somebody in my life that I can talk to about you. God, while I'm at the ballpark, while I'm at the PTO meeting, God, while I'm sitting in traffic, well, maybe that's not the right time. But you see the point?”
48s
#PrayPersistently
“And I wanna ask of you, is there something that you've grown weary praying for? And maybe it's still in your mind, but you're just like, I'm done. I've I've spent time and I'm I'm done. Maybe maybe today is the time to bring that back up, to become persistent in your prayer for that. Or maybe it's something you've been praying for and God is trying to change your heart, but you're not listening for him to change your heart. And so maybe today is the time to say, God, if I'm praying in the wrong direction, change my heart to pray in the right direction.”

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.
