This past Sunday, Pastor Nate continued our walk through Romans as we looked at Romans 10:1-4 and were challenged by Paul's deep burden for people to know Jesus.Paul said, “My heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved.” What a reminder that the gospel doesn't just change what we believe, it changes our hearts. It reshapes our desires, our burdens, and the way we pray for others.The same Paul who once persecuted the church had been completely transformed by the grace of God. His greatest desire became seeing people come to faith in Christ. That's the power of the gospel at work in a life.This message challenged us to ask:Have comfort and distraction replaced gospel urgency in our lives?As believers, we are called to live with open eyes and willing hearts, ready to point people to Jesus. This week, pray that God would soften your heart and place one person in your path who needs to hear the hope of the gospel. Invite them to church. Share your story. Pray with them. Step out in faith and trust God to work.The harvest is ready. May we be willing workers who continue to Make Jesus Known.

Today at Little Flock, Pastor Nate shared a powerful message titled “The Aim Of A Godly Woman.”Through Proverbs 31:25-26, Titus 2:3-5, and 2 Timothy 1:5, we were reminded of the impact of women who faithfully pursue Christ and influence those around them for God's glory.Godly women aim for Christ-like character.A woman who walks closely with Jesus reflects His strength, wisdom, grace, and love in her everyday life.Godly women aim to be faithful in their calling.God honors women who serve faithfully in the roles and responsibilities He has entrusted to them.Godly women aim to influence the next generation. A godly legacy is built through intentional discipleship, encouragement, and faithfulness passed from one generation to the next.Today's message challenged all of us to pursue lives that point others to Christ and leave a lasting spiritual impact.#LittleFlock #MothersDay #TheAimOfAGodlyWoman #FaithfulGeneration

God's been up to something behind the scenes! Over the past year, we've been praying, planning, and building something we're excited about… and it's finally time to share it with you.The Little Flock Podcast is now live hosted by Shane Morris.Biblical content, practical wisdom, real stories and honest conversations about what God is doing in and through His people at LF. Let's go! Let's grow!

This week, Pastor Nate continued our journey through Romans 9:18–33, reminding us of the powerful truth that God is both perfectly just and incredibly merciful.We were challenged to see that God delights in showing mercy to those who truly want Him. Righteousness is not something we achieve on our own—it is by faith and faith alone. No amount of effort or good works can earn a right standing with God; it is received by trusting in Jesus.At the same time, we were reminded that God displays His authority through both His justice and His mercy. He is sovereign over all things, and His ways are always right—even when we don't fully understand them.The question we were left with is deeply personal:Are you trusting in Jesus for your righteousness, or are you relying on yourself?This passage calls us to lay down self-reliance, trust fully in Christ, and live in awe of the mercy we've been given.

Saved to Be Sent | Sunday Recap (Matthew 28:16–20)In the Great Commission, Jesus reminds us that we are saved to be sent. With all authority in heaven and on earth, He gives one clear command: make disciples. This means more than decisions—it's a lifelong process of helping others follow Jesus through real, everyday life.• Jesus has all authority—His mission will not fail• Discipleship is life-on-life, not just information• We are called to be intentional, relational, and missionalWho is one person God has placed in your life to pray for and point to Jesus this week?#LittleFlock #MakeDisciples #DifferenceMaker

There's a powerful truth we can't afford to miss: salvation is not something we earn—it is completely the result of God's mercy.In Romans 9:16–18, we're reminded that God's mercy is not based on our effort, our goodness, or our striving… it is His alone to give. Even in the midst of human rebellion, God is never at a loss. He is sovereign, just, and full of mercy.But don't mistake God's patience for permission. His mercy is an invitation—not to continue in sin, but to turn to Him.So how do we experience that mercy?• Walk in humility • Ask God for mercy • Know JesusWhen we truly understand the depth of His mercy, it changes how we live. It humbles us, draws us closer to Him, and leads us to live in awe of what He has done for us.Let's be a people who don't just talk about mercy—but who live in it daily.

Is there justice with God?Today in Romans 9:14–18, Pastor Nate reminded us of a powerful truth: God is perfectly just in all His ways—and His mercy is beyond anything we could ever earn.We're often tempted to question God's decisions, but Scripture calls us to trust His character instead of putting Him on trial. Salvation isn't about what we bring to the table—it's about God's mercy poured out through Jesus Christ.When we truly understand that: • We stop striving and start resting in His sovereignty • We stop judging and start showing mercy to others • We live in awe of the grace we've receivedWe didn't earn His love. We can't control it. And we certainly don't deserve it. Yet God, in His goodness, chose to save.So let His mercy shape your life this week—rest in it, walk in it, and extend it to others.#LittleFlock #RomansSeries #GodsGrace #UndeservedMercy #DifferenceMaker

In a world of empty promises and broken words, Jesus stands as the ultimate truth-teller. He said He would rise from the dead—and He did. The empty tomb isn't just another miracle; it's THE miracle that proves everything Jesus said is true.This Sunday we explored John 20 and watched as confused disciples ran to an empty tomb, investigated the evidence, and came to a life-changing conclusion: He's alive. Mary Magdalene arrived looking for a body but encountered the risen Savior who called her by name. When Jesus speaks your name, everything changes.Because the tomb is empty, you can know that Jesus is exactly who He claimed to be—the way, the truth, and the life. He's not just able to rescue you from difficult situations; He wants to save you from your sin and give you a righteousness you could never earn. The question isn't whether the resurrection happened—it's how you'll respond to it.He's not there. He's risen. And He wants to know you.

What a meaningful morning of worship together at Little Flock as Pastor Nate continued our journey through Romans 9 and reminded us of a powerful truth:Do you believe the promise?God's family is not defined by who we know, what we've done, or the effort we bring. It is defined by His sovereign grace and His unfailing promise to save.In Romans 9, the Apostle Paul points us to the reality that salvation doesn't come through lineage, personal effort, or merit. It comes through God's promise alone. Just as God brought life to Sarah's barren womb, He brings spiritual life where there was once only death. And just as He chose Jacob before he was even born, God is still actively drawing people to Himself today—perhaps even someone in your life.The beautiful truth of the gospel is this:God doesn't wait for us to seek Him—He seeks us.He is calling, wooing, and drawing people to salvation even now.So how should we respond?We live lives marked by holiness and godliness, and we share the hope of Jesus with the people around us. Our witness isn't about perfection—it's about humble obedience and a life transformed by Christ.God is still building His kingdom. He is patient, not wanting any to perish.The question for each of us is simple:Will we join Him in reaching the lost?#GodsPromise #Romans9 #SalvationByGrace #LittleFlock #LiveHoly

The Promises of God's WordToday Pastor Nate walked us through Romans 9:1–8 and reminded us of a powerful truth: God's Word never fails to accomplish God's will.In this passage, we see the deep anguish of the Apostle Paul for his fellow Israelites who had rejected Christ. Though many had turned away, Paul makes something clear in verse 6 — “It is not as though the word of God has failed.” What may look like failure to us is never failure in the purposes of God.Pastor Nate emphasized:• God's promises are not dependent on heritage or human effort.Being born into the right family or possessing spiritual privileges does not guarantee salvation.• God's promises are fulfilled according to His sovereign plan.Through the example of Isaac, Paul shows that God works through His promise, not merely physical descent.• God's Word always accomplishes exactly what He intends.Even when people reject Him, even when circumstances seem unclear, God remains faithful to His covenant and His purposes.We were challenged to trust the reliability of Scripture, rest in the faithfulness of God, and remember that His promises stand firm across generations.When God speaks, He fulfills. His Word never returns empty.

Pastor Nate walked us through Romans 9 and Acts 9, showing us the deep heartbreak the Apostle Paul carried for those who had not yet placed their faith in Jesus. His sorrow for the lost wasn't temporary or emotional—it was Spirit-led, rooted in a life that had been radically changed by Christ.We were reminded that:➡️ When Jesus saves us, He transforms us.➡️ God often uses obedient people—like Ananias—to reach others.➡️ Eternity matters. Jesus spoke clearly about salvation, judgment, and His mission to seek and save the lost.➡️ Our Heavenly Father's love is radical and compassionate, just like in the story of the Prodigal Son.If you've never experienced new life in Christ, today is the day to turn to Him, repent, believe, and receive His forgiveness and grace.Let's be a church that carries God's heart for the lost and boldly shares the hope we've been given.

Romans 9:1–5 | Pastor NateIn today's message, Pastor Nate walked us through Romans 9:1–5 and revealed the deep compassion in Paul's heart for those who had not yet come to know Christ.Paul speaks with honesty and sincerity as he shares his great sorrow and continual anguish for his own people. His love is so strong that he would be willing to suffer personally if it meant others could experience salvation. This powerful example reminds us what Christ-like love truly looks like.Paul also points to the many blessings God gave to Israel — adoption, glory, covenants, worship, promises, and even the lineage of Jesus Himself — yet many still missed recognizing the Messiah.Pastor Nate challenged us to reflect on our own hearts. Do we carry that same burden for the lost? Do we pray faithfully, love intentionally, and share boldly?May we grow in compassion, trust God's promises, and remain committed to pointing others to the hope found in Jesus.

This Sunday, as we gathered virtually due to the winter storm, Pastor Nate encouraged our church family with a timely message from Philippians 4:4–9. Even in disrupted circumstances, we were reminded that God's Word remains steady and speaks clearly into our everyday lives.Pastor Nate challenged us to build a pathway to gospel-centered thinking, a deliberate way of shaping our thoughts and responses as we navigate daily rhythms and unexpected trials. From this passage, he highlighted six guiding words that help anchor our hearts and minds in Christ:Joy – Choosing to rejoice in the Lord, not based on circumstances, but on who He is.Trust – Resting in God's faithfulness and sovereignty, even when situations feel uncertain.Prayer – Bringing every concern to God with gratitude, trusting Him to meet us there.Peace – Experiencing the guarding peace of God that surpasses understanding.Focus – Intentionally setting our minds on what is true, honorable, right, pure, and praiseworthy.Practice – Living out what we have learned and received, allowing our faith to be active and visible.This devotional reminded us that gospel-centered thinking does not happen by accident—it is formed through daily choices to rejoice, pray, think rightly, and faithfully walk with the Lord. Even while physically apart, we were encouraged to remain spiritually grounded, trusting God to guide us with His peace as we put these truths into practice.

In Week 3 of It's Time To Grow, Dr. Stan encouraged us to explore our spiritual gifts with humility and obedience, allowing the Spirit to guide how we serve and live on mission. When our desire is aligned with God's purpose, our lives become a testimony of His grace and power.As you reflect today, consider this question:Have you dedicated your life to the right purpose?

In Week 2 of It's Time To Grow, Pastor Nate walks us through Hebrews 10:19–25 and reminds us that spiritual growth was never meant to happen in isolation. God designed us to grow in faith within the context of community; encouraging one another, stirring one another toward love and good works, and faithfully gathering together as the body of Christ.“And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together… but encouraging one another.”— Hebrews 10:24–25 (ESV)This message calls us to examine how we are engaging with the church family and challenges us to move from simply attending to actively belonging. As we draw near to God, hold fast to hope, and walk alongside one another, we experience the kind of growth God intends for His people.Listen to this full message and other past messages on our website and be encouraged to grow—together.https://littleflock.com/messages/

This Sunday, Pastor Nate encouraged us from Proverbs as we reflected on what God wants us to be in 2026. We were also encouraged to ask God, “What do You want me to become?” Wisdom is not simply knowing something, but knowing how to apply it in our lives.
