One at a Time Weekend is a special weekend to celebrate what God has done through one life at a time over the last year and anticipate what He will do in 2026. Join us for a special time of worship, preaching, and prayer. Speaker: Lucas DeVries

Throughout the Gospel of Mark, Jesus said “yes” to all kinds of people…men, women, rich, poor, religious, sinful, influential, invisible. His appearance in the world—from the manger to the cross—was an emphatic YES to all humanity and a YES to YOU. Mark 16:15 Speaker: Kyle Idleman

In this engaging conversation, former Senior Pastor Dave Stone discusses the power of vulnerability, inspired by Jesus' agonizing moment in Gethsemane. He shares personal anecdotes, illustrating how we often hide our struggles instead of embracing honesty. Dave emphasizes the importance of prayer, the strength found in admitting weakness, and how openness fosters deeper relationships within the church. He challenges listeners to trust God even when prayers seem unanswered, showing how vulnerability can lead to profound faith and community support.

The discussion centers on the importance of saying NO to injustice, inspired by Jesus' actions in the temple. A humorous personal story about assembling a toy illustrates the unseen commitment we often overlook. Listeners are challenged to evaluate their commitment levels and what holds them back, comparing the rich young ruler with a poor widow's radical generosity. The concept of 'burning the ships' is introduced as a way to fully surrender to Jesus, emphasizing that true faith requires total commitment, especially during this Christmas season.

Bryson Cook, the Franklin campus pastor, delivers a heartfelt message on Jesus' compassion as seen in Mark 8. He highlights how true compassion is more than a feeling—it’s a call to action. Cook discusses contemporary empathy challenges, like social media's impact on human connection. He emphasizes compassion as a vital aspect of God's character and shares inspiring local outreach stories. By urging listeners to embrace cross-boundary love and practical acts of kindness, Cook inspires a vision of a church that actively lives out Jesus' compassionate example.

Though His time had endless demands, Jesus modeled the importance of rest. Our culture is obsessed with busyness, but sacrificing rest means ignoring His example. Jesus doesn’t invite us into laziness, but He does invite into a regular, quiet rhythm. Mark 6: 30-32 Speaker: Carl Kuhl

When the disciples panicked during a violent storm, Jesus was at peace. He calmed both the sea and their inner fear, telling them to choose faith. Facing our own storms, Jesus tells us, “Choose faith in Me, and a sense of calm will eventually come.” Mark 4: 35-41 Speaker: Matt Reagan

Life's interruptions can be frustrating, but they can also be transformative. Emphasizing Jesus' example, the discussion highlights how He embraced these moments for powerful outcomes. Listeners explore how to shift their perspective on interruptions, learning to respond with grace. The story of a paralyzed man being lowered through a roof illustrates bold faith and the importance of accepting unexpected moments. Finally, the challenge is issued: find one interruption to embrace this week and discover its potential for connection and purpose.

Jesus sought solitude amidst crowds to connect with God, emphasizing its importance for clarity and purpose. A powerful metaphor compares spiritual filters to a clogged furnace, warning against neglect. Solitude is portrayed as essential for resisting people-pleasing and gaining strength, much like a water station for runners. The distinction between renewing solitude and draining isolation highlights the vital benefits of quiet reflection. Lastly, practical tips are provided to help listeners make solitude a non-negotiable part of their daily routine.

David Nasser, an evangelist and author with over 30 years in ministry, shares his captivating journey from childhood in Iran to faith in America. He emphasizes that every story is vital in pointing to God's Kingdom. Listeners hear about his family's perilous escape from Iran, the transformation of his father's heart through small acts of service, and the pivotal moments that led him to follow Christ. David encourages everyone to actively share their stories of faith, reminding us how our narratives connect us to something greater.
