#WisdomFromTheWord
“``There are, again, many things in life that are not necessarily bad, but they affect your trajectory. And I don't know about you, but I want to be the kind of person that has the maximum trajectory that I can have in my life, and I think you would do too. I want that for you. So how do we get there? Let me just take us through three ways to get there that correspond to all three of these elements of trajectory. If there we can basically plot things out, what are those three things? So let's take them one by one. When it comes to the angle, remember, like, alright, let's angle this thing. Angling it straight up, didn't go very far. 45 degrees, maximum trajectory. How do we know how we can have the maximum trajectory for our life? I think the only way we can do that is to have the wisdom of God, to be people who are in the word of God. When he speaks to us, we can align ourselves not just with our own trajectory, but with where God is going and the trajectory of God's message and the gospel, God's purpose for your life.”

#SeekAndBeRewarded
“And he said, he is a rewarder. Look, look, the the only thing god requires of you is for you to diligently seek him. That is all he requires of you to reward you is for you to diligently seek him out. That is what he required because I'll be honest. When you start diligently seeking out god, you you, your desires, your nature, your your your character starts to change and as those things start to change, you have a god's gonna reward you because of how much you just chose to seek him out.”

#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."”

#PrayForThatOne
“``Maybe you have a son or daughter who's lost. They haven't been to church in a long time, don't care about the things of the Lord, but your heart breaks for them. Maybe you have a friend at work and you see them, you're like, man, they have so much potential, and I love them so much. But I know that they are are not the Lord's. They're gonna spend an eternity without God. You know, everybody has somebody. They have one person that they're praying for. They're like, man, I want that person to be in heaven. I have a person like that in my life. Actually have many. But when I think of this one particular person, I'm like, Lord, would you just let that person greet me in the new heavens? God, would they just fall at the face of Jesus? Everybody has somebody, a person, the one person that they're praying for. And I've burdened for those people. I want you to have the same burden, that we would change trajectory of people's lives from being about themselves and their name and their renown to being about the name and renown of Jesus.”

#DecideToChange
“``So here's here's where I'm kind of wanting to land the plane. I want you to consider two things. Number one, I want you to think about about your trajectory. And, Kellen, why don't you come up? I wanna create a moment just for us to just just think about this. Here's the question I want you to think about. Where is my trajectory? What am I doing? Where am I going? And if you're you're not really doing these three things, if you're not in God's word, if you're not really pursuing great friends that love Jesus, if you're not being that kind of friend to somebody else, if you're not saying, holy spirit, what is it you want me to do? I want you to make a choice today to change.”
61s
#WordCommunitySpirit
“``People are like, man, I love Jesus with all my heart. I want every single person to know him. I wanna know as much as Jesus. I wanna have my heart as tender towards Jesus as I can. That's the kind of friends we should aspire to be and to have around us. Velocity. Are we people who say, holy spirit, what is it that you want from me? What do you want from me? I wanna do whatever it is available. God, use us. That's what we want here. We want the holy spirit of god to be so heavy on this place. When people step in the parking lot, they experience the power of god. moving in us. Because I think if we have people, all of us, say we wanna do these three things, we wanna be in the word of God, we wanna have great community, and we wanna have the holy spirit use us, we can change Spartanburg forever.”

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.
