#GuardYourBody
“I'm a end with this. Where do you put a lock? On a door, right? Or or how many of you put a lock? Let's say a bed deadbolt lock. Do you put it in a trash can? Do you put it in the trash can that collects all the trash in your home? Do you put a do you put a lock on that? Now if you have a dog that likes to knock over the trash can, that's a different story. But but do you put a lock on that? No. Why? Because it's trash, right? There's nothing of value in that. But yet, God says put a lock on your body. Why? Because you were bought with a price.”

#TrustNotConditions
“And we do that with our marriages. We're like, hey, God. Listen. I you know, I'll step in as long as you show me that my husband's gonna change his behavior and watch this football this fall. Or I'll I'll, you know, I'm I'm gonna trust you with this this this job that I have as long as you give me the raise or you you give me some job security or, god, I'm gonna trust you as long as you give me the right spouse and they're just the right person for me. God, I'm gonna trust you as long as you show me all the steps I need to take in order to to to get to where I wanna go. And so we want proof before we see God providing, but that's not how God works.”

#WordMadeFlesh
“But when I think about the voice of god I don't think the voice of god could be any louder than what he said in the person of Jesus. I really don't. I think when Jesus left heaven and Jesus came to Earth, for John says it this way, that the word, the word of god became flesh and dwelt among us. The word of god became flesh. If you wanna know what the voice of god sounds like, look at what Jesus did for you. Jesus left heaven and came to Earth, lived a life you could never live, restored a relationship that you could never restore, unlocked deaf ears, opened blind eyes, replaced hearts of stone with hearts of flesh. Jesus is the voice of god telling us that there's hope for our hearing. Yes. Yes. Amen. There's hope for my hearing.”
53s
“There is no greater gift. No gold, no silver, nothing you can give will last them longer or care for them more than Jesus of Nazareth. So may all our lives be impacted in such a way that we go out and spread his love with others. But I tell you the same thing. You can't give what you aren't full already of. So whatever it takes for your heart to be full to overflowing with the power and the love of Christ, make sure you attend to those things. So now may we go from this place knowing that our call to be an extraordinary supernatural body of Christ is that we, as ordinary people, will take the love of God, the forgiveness of Christ, and the power of the Holy Spirit with us. Amen.”
48s
“Not only are we given each of us unique gifts and passions that God intends for us for both our enjoyment and to find meaning and fulfillment in life, But then the holy spirit also uses those different gifts and callings as part of god's grand symphony of creation. For we know that god has a plan for each of us to help tell God's story of love and redemption in this world, even though none of us really know exactly what God's plan for our life will be from start to finish. All we know is that we're on this journey with God, and the final destination is out of this world.”
33s
“) "We can live the best life even if we don't have an abundance. We can live the best life even if we have nothing. Because our life is not found in being rich in all these things, but our life is found in being rich towards God. And if that's been a temptation for you, if that's been a struggle for you to identify with having so many things and feeling like this is what gives me life, that's okay because there's an opportunity tonight for you to have a conversation with the Lord and for you to admit, Lord, I have put my possessions above you."”
47s
“"Listen, you got to tell somebody. And it's never safer than right here. All right. Amen. Thank you for choosing to trust God. Guys, we're not done yet. We're going to have this moment of response. I know that you've got stuff in your heart that you need to bring to the Lord. So you can do that in your seat. You can come up and pray. We ask for prayer. We've got faithful men and women that love to walk with you. But don't leave thirsty. Come and give it to Jesus. God, every heart here is yours. We want you. We want your love. We are for you because you are for us. We say, God, it's all yours. We come to the altar."”

#ReserveUntilVows
“is his body. Your spirit is his spirit. You are bought with a price. You are special to God. And one day you will be special to your spouse. Keep that lock locked until vows are spoken, until a commitment is made, no matter what everybody else pushes you to do. Everybody else will push you to do all kinds of other stuff. But God says, remember your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost. Remember you were bought with a price. Remember, your body and your spirit is mine, says the Lord. And you are not of your own.”
30s
#BuildTheFireplaceFirst
“If I could give any advice to our youth, don't start a fire until the fireplace is built. Because if you start a fire anywhere in the house without a fireplace, it's gonna burn down the house. But if you start a fire in a fireplace, it's gonna warm the whole home. Do not force shortcuts. They don't amount to anything.”
69s
#PresenceInPain
“And I think some of you need to hear that today because you're going through incredible affliction. You have a health condition that's really bringing you down or your parents are struggling and you don't know if they're gonna go home to see Jesus soon or you have a child that's far from Jesus right now, or you're going through a season where you're feeling really alone and God's not answering some of your prayers for community, or you're going through a season where you're just feeling incredibly depressed and life is not what you wanted it to be. And you can run from God in those moments and you can run from yourself in those moments and you can run to the TV and numb out. You can run to a drug and try to hide in it or you can try to sleep as much as you can or you can say, God is gonna be with me in the middle of this thing. And God's gonna give me his presence in the middle of this thing. And God wants to do something within me and I'm gonna embrace this affliction because it's gonna be God's instrument to do something special inside of my life.”

Why Spartanburg churches are unique

Anchored by a lively downtown and three nearby campuses—Wofford, Converse, and USC Upstate—churches in Spartanburg often blend intellectual curiosity with practical service. With students, faculty, and young professionals circulating between campus and Main Street, many Spartanburg churches offer mentoring, flexible gathering times, and worship that connects the classroom to the community, including college student ministries, young adults and professionals, and modern worship with contemporary band.
Growth across neighborhoods like Converse Heights and the Northside, alongside nearby suburban expansion, has shaped churches in Spartanburg to be welcoming to newcomers, commuters, and multi-generational households. This means a strong emphasis on childcare, practical support networks, and outreach to an increasingly international workforce, so many congregations prioritize strong kids programs for young families, multilingual services and outreach, and community partnerships and service.
Spartanburg’s “Hub City” history—textile mill villages, rail lines, and a deep African American church heritage—cultivates congregations that value both tradition and transformation. From choir-rich Sundays to verse-by-verse preaching and neighborhood renewal efforts in districts like Hampton Heights and the Northside, you’ll find a blend of reverence and action, with gospel choir and traditional hymns, expository Bible teaching, and racial reconciliation and unity efforts.
