#UnexpectedBlessings
“I want you to notice the story. John remained in prison. And to spoil the story a little bit, John is executed while he's still in prison. I don't know about you, but that's not what I think of when I think of a blessing. The blessings that Jesus offer may not be the healing that we want. It may not be the family life that we want. It may not be the job that we want. It might not be whatever it is that we're wanting. That may not be the blessing.”

#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.”
40s
“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.”
53s
#DivineWisdom
“Jesus says, basically, the proof is in the pudding. Those that follow God and his wisdom are going to demonstrate to the self righteous what is correct, what is right. See, divine wisdom tells us that we must abandon any delusions of self sufficiency or innate goodness. That we must stop looking for a god small enough to allow us to pretend that our imperfect righteousness is okay. And we must stop looking for a salvation that is small enough to be earned.”
47s
#FromUnbeliefToFaith
“It's the only way to turn our unbelief into belief, into faith. So I ask of you today, where's your faith? Where's your belief? And maybe today you're struggling. Maybe today you're like John the Baptist. You're like, I just don't understand this. It's okay to not understand. Just continue to put your questions to Jesus and listen for his answers. Continue to place your faith in Jesus, and your unbelief can turn into belief.”
72s
#ResurrectionPower
“When Jesus performed miracles of healing, blind, mute, leprosy, things like that. Sometimes he would do something physical. You know, one time he spit on the ground, he made some mud and rubbed on the guy's eyes so he could see. One time he stuck his finger in the guy's ears so he could hear. Sometimes he did physical things, but when it comes to resurrections, he never did anything but speak. The same voice that spoke everything into existence speaks and the dead rise. Clearly, he wants us to understand that resurrection power rest only in him and his words, not in anything, any action. There's nothing else that creates this that brings something back to life except the words of Jesus.”
42s
#ChooseJesus
“So today I ask of you, have you chose Jesus? Have you chose to make him your Lord, your savior? So that someday you will hear get up and you'll be like, yeah, let's do this. But the choice is yours. If you've never accepted Jesus as your Lord and savior, would you choose him right now? Because you are dead in your sin. And the only way back to life is through Jesus Christ.”

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.
