What if the greatest work of the Holy Spirit isn't what happens through you—but what happens in you? In “God In You: The Indwelling Spirit,” Pastor DeWayne L. Wright explores the life-changing reality of the Holy Spirit living within every believer and how His presence empowers us to walk in truth, holiness, and spiritual maturity. Drawing from Romans 8:5–17, Ephesians 4:25–30, and Acts 13:2–3, Pastor Wright teaches that the Holy Spirit is not merely a force or feeling, but God Himself dwelling within His people. He explains how the Spirit leads believers away from the flesh, helps us overcome destructive habits, guides us into truth, and continually shapes us into the image of Christ. This practical and encouraging message challenges listeners to move beyond simply seeking spiritual experiences and instead cultivate a daily relationship with the Holy Spirit—allowing Him to transform their character, renew their minds, and empower them to live the victorious life God intended.

The Bread of Life is not earned by striving but received by all who come to Jesus in faith. It is undoubtedly attainable.

What if your prayers are too small for what God actually wants to do in your life? In “Praying Like Paul,” Pastor DeWayne L. Wright continues this powerful series by shifting the focus from how Jesus modeled prayer to how the Apostle Paul prayed for the church—and what that reveals about God's priorities. Drawing from prayers like Ephesians 1 and Colossians 1, Pastor Wright shows that Paul didn't primarily pray for comfort, circumstances, or quick fixes—he prayed for spiritual insight, maturity, and a deeper knowledge of Christ. This message challenges believers to move beyond praying only for immediate needs and instead pray prayers that produce lasting transformation, alignment with God's will, and true spiritual growth. As we learn to pray like Paul, we begin to see differently, live differently, and walk more fully in everything Christ has already accomplished for us.

What if the reason your prayer life feels inconsistent or ineffective is because you're not praying what God has already said? In “The Case for Praying the Bible,” Pastor DeWayne L. Wright challenges believers to rethink how they approach prayer by grounding it firmly in Scripture. Drawing from passages such as Ephesians 1:15–23, Colossians 4:12, and Acts 13:2–3, Pastor Wright explains how praying God's Word aligns our hearts with His will, strengthens our faith, and removes the guesswork from what to pray. Instead of relying on emotions, routines, or repetition, this message shows how Scripture-based prayer leads to clarity, confidence, and deeper spiritual growth. This message is both practical and transformative, calling believers to develop a consistent, powerful prayer life rooted in the Word of God—where prayer becomes less about what we want to say and more about agreeing with what God has already spoken.

What if the difference between good decisions and God's best comes down to how you pray? In “Praying Like Jesus,” Pastor DeWayne L. Wright begins a powerful two-part series on aligning our lives—and our church—with the will of God through prayer. Drawing from passages such as Mark 1, Luke 5–6, and Luke 22, Pastor Wright shows how Jesus consistently withdrew to pray before making major decisions, modeling a life led by the Spirit rather than by pressure, opportunity, or logic alone. This message challenges believers to move beyond surface-level or routine prayer and step into a deeper, more intentional relationship with God—one that seeks His will above personal preference. As the church prepares for transition and growth, Pastor Wright reminds us that before we build, plan, or move forward, we must first pray—because prayer is not the only thing we do, but it is where everything must begin.

What if the resurrection of Jesus means far more than just a historical event—it means your entire life can be changed forever? In “The Resurrection Changes Everything,” Pastor DeWayne L. Wright powerfully explains why the resurrection of Christ stands at the very center of the Christian faith and why without it, there is no true hope for humanity. Teaching from 1 Corinthians 15, 1 Peter 2, Galatians 3, and related Scriptures, Pastor Wright unpacks how Jesus became our perfect substitute, broke the curse of sin, and secured our justification through His victory over death. This message reminds believers that because Christ rose from the grave, we are forgiven, redeemed, empowered, and given a living hope that transforms both our present struggles and our eternal future.

What if everything you believe about Christianity falls apart the moment you remove the cross? In “No Cross, No Christianity,” Pastor DeWayne L. Wright delivers a bold and clarifying message on why the cross of Christ is not just central—but essential—to the Christian faith. Teaching from 1 Corinthians 1–2 and related Scriptures, Pastor Wright explains how the message of the cross confronts human pride, redefines true power, and reveals the fullness of God's justice, mercy, and love. This message challenges listeners to move beyond surface-level faith, embrace the transformative power of the gospel, and build their lives on the finished work of Jesus Christ—because without the cross, there is no salvation, no identity, and no true Christianity.

Jesus meets our deepest need and offers grace to all who believe—because He is God and He is good.MAIN VERSE:   4 Now he had to go through Samaria. 5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” 8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.[a])10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?”13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won't get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.”16 He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”17 “I have no husband,” she replied. Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. 18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.”19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet. 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ)“is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”26 Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”John 4:4-26NIVIn the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.John 1:1-3NIV.17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.Colossians 1:17NIV14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. Jesus did not lose His divinity when He became man; He took on humanity and retained His divine nature. Jesus experienced real human life as a human.John 1:14NIV 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 NIV

What if the very message the world calls foolish is actually the only power strong enough to save, transform, and sustain your life? In “Led by the Cross and Guided by the Spirit,” Pastor DeWayne L. Wright brings us back to the foundation of our faith, reminding us that the gospel of Jesus Christ is not just good news—it is the power of God at work in us. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 1:18–28 and related passages, Pastor Wright unpacks the paradox of the cross, showing how what seems weak or foolish to the world is actually God's wisdom and strength. This message challenges believers to stay anchored in Christ, resist the pull of self-centered or experience-driven faith, and live lives shaped by the finished work of the cross while being continually led by the Holy Spirit.

What if the breakthrough you've been praying for is already available—but you haven't fully tapped into the power behind the name? In “The Name That Changes Everything,” Pastor DeWayne L. Wright builds on the truth that the name of Jesus carries authority in every realm—heaven, earth, and under the earth—and calls believers to live in that reality daily. Drawing from Philippians 2:5–11, Acts 3–4, and John 16:23–24, Pastor Wright shows how the early church demonstrated the power of Jesus' name through bold faith, prayer, healing, and unwavering proclamation of the gospel. This message challenges us to move beyond passive faith, pray with understanding, and actively use the name of Jesus with confidence—knowing that in Him, we are not just survivors, but overcomers empowered to see real change in our lives.

Spiritual gifts, faith, generosity—even sacrifice—can all look impressive. But what if they mean nothing without love? In “Pursuing Love,” Pastor DeWayne L. Wright teaches from 1 Corinthians 13 and related passages to show that love is the foundation of the Christian life. Spiritual gifts and acts of service have value only when they flow from a heart shaped by God's love. Pastor Wright explains how believers are called not just to talk about love, but to actively pursue it—loving God fully, loving others sacrificially, and allowing the Holy Spirit to shape our character. This message challenges us to examine our motives, practice genuine love, and let God's love guide every part of our lives.

Big Idea: John writes so that we may see Jesus as more than a reformer but as the Son of God. Jesus disrupts the temple activity to show his identity as the Son of God. 13 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover,Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. 15 So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16 To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father's house into a market!” 17 His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.”[c]18 The Jews then responded to him, “What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?”19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”20 They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?”21 But the temple he had spoken of was his body.22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.23 Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many people saw the signs he was performing and believed in his name.[d] 24 But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people. 25 He did not need any testimony about mankind, for he knew what was in each person.John 2:13-25        "I will bring them to My holy mountain and make them joyful in My house of prayer.

Main Theme: Faith is proven through obedience. Dewayne Payton's message focused on Noah's faithfulness and obedience in building the ark — even when he had never seen rain. The sermon emphasized trusting God's Word above logic, walking in His will regardless of circumstance, and leading others (especially family) to salvation through consistent faith. Introduction and Context Dewayne opened with prayer, thanking God for His Word and for the congregation's hunger to grow. He returned to Genesis 6–8, reviewing Noah's story as an example of unwavering faith and obedience in a corrupt world. “Noah was faithful in all that God commanded him — can we say the same?” The Call of Noah and the Power of Obedience (Genesis 6:11–22) The world was corrupt and filled with violence, yet God chose Noah because of his righteousness and obedience. God gave specific instructions for building the ark — exact measurements, placement of the door and window, and even how to seal it with pitch. Dewayne noted that every command had a reason — even when Noah didn't understand it. “Faith doesn't question — it builds. Noah didn't argue with God; he just obeyed.” Key Point: Believing in God is not the same as believing God. “It's one thing to believe in Him; it's another to take Him at His word.” The Test of Waiting and Believing Noah believed God's warning about a flood, even though rain had never fallen before. God gave 120 years before judgment — time for obedience, preparation, and patience. Dewayne reminded that God often asks believers to wait: Noah waited seven days in the ark before the rain started — a test of faith. Waiting reveals whether we still believe after obedience. “When God gives you a word, the devil will try to show you the opposite — to test if you really believe God.” God's Control Over Creation and Salvation Dewayne illustrated how animals came to Noah by divine instinct, comparing it to migration patterns of geese, whales, and turtles. The lesson: if God can guide animals, He can direct your path. “It's never the animals that are the problem — it's us.” God told Noah, “Come into the ark,” implying His presence was already inside. Salvation is being with God in the place of safety. The Door of Salvation Genesis 7:16 — “And the Lord shut him in.” Dewayne highlighted this as symbolic of God's control over salvation: Noah didn't close the door; God did. “It's not our place to decide who's too far gone — only God shuts the door.” Once God shuts the door, judgment begins — a parallel to the coming judgment of the world. “Today is the day of salvation. Once the door closes, it's closed.” The Flood as Judgment and Picture of the Rapture The flood waters lifted the ark above judgment — a prophetic symbol of the church's rapture. Noah waited seven days (one shabua, or period of seven), just as believers will be with Christ for seven years before returning with Him. “Judgment came, but the righteous were lifted up. That's what God will do for His church.” Lessons in God's Sovereignty and Human Limits Dewayne taught that even during chaos, God was in full control: He started and stopped the rain. He set boundaries for the flood. He sustained Noah and the animals — possibly even through hibernation. “When you're in God's will, you're never in danger. When you step out, that's when trouble comes.” He used a simple illustration: a stick figure walking on God's path is safe even in storms, but danger comes when we wander into our own way. The Raven and the Dove (Genesis 8:6–12) The raven represents the flesh — feeding on death and corruption. The dove represents the Spirit — finding no rest in the world, returning to Noah. “There's no rest for the believer in this world. Rest only comes when you're in Christ.” The dove's return with an olive leaf signified peace and restoration — God's renewal of the earth and reconciliation with mankind. Worship and Sacrifice After Deliverance Noah's first act upon leaving the ark was worship — he built an altar and sacrificed clean animals. Dewayne noted how costly this was — there were only seven pairs of clean animals. “True worship costs something. If it doesn't cost you, it's not an offering — it's convenience.” God responded with mercy, promising never again to destroy the earth with a flood and sealing His promise with a rainbow — a symbol of grace that the church must reclaim. “It's time for the church to take back the rainbow. It belongs to God.” The Call to Faithful Witness Just as Noah's obedience saved his family, believers today are called to lead others to Christ. “Noah built an ark for 120 years to save his family. What are we willing to do to save ours?” We no longer build wooden arks — we build spiritual ones through evangelism, prayer, and witness. The closing call was urgent: Judgment is coming again, but through Christ, we escape wrath. “All we have to do is believe — thank God we don't have to build an ark.” Core Message Faith that obeys God is faith that saves. Believe not just in God — believe God. Stay in His will; it's the only safe place in the storm. True worship costs something. Tell others — the door of grace is open, but one day it will shut.

What if the Holy Spirit was never meant to be a one-time experience, but a daily partnership that transforms how we live, pray, and walk with God? In “The Ministry of the Holy Spirit,” Pastor DeWayne L. Wright challenges believers to move beyond momentary encounters and fully embrace the ongoing work of the Spirit as Helper, Guide, and Spirit of truth. Drawing from passages such as 1 Timothy 4:15–16, John 14:16–17, and Ephesians 1:13–14, Pastor Wright explains how practicing spiritual disciplines, praying in the Spirit, and yielding to truth leads to real growth, discernment, and lasting fruit. This message calls believers to stop neglecting the gift within them and to walk daily in fellowship with the Holy Spirit, allowing Him to shape character, guard faith, and empower purpose.

Luke 19:1-10 NIVJesus' actions reveal his authority- He does what He wants to, where He wants to, how He wants to, for whomever He wants to do it.Jesus' actions reveal his kindness- why he does it, when he does it, even though he doesn't have to do it. Jesus personally invites the most unlikely and undeserving people into His presence and He uses the church to extend that same life-changing invitation today. Invitations tell us we are specialNotice that Jesus adds Zacchaeus to his agenda by naturally seeing him along his way. Yes he supernaturally may have known his name but it was a natural sight of a man in an odd position-that grabbed our Lord's attention. Who might possibly be in the odd positions in our spaces?  Zacchaeus did not deserve Jesus but Jesus responded not to what Zacchaeus deserved but what he desired. What are some signs people display that show curiosity or openness? Jesus' ability to make this man feel special is the power of an invitation and invitations have weight depending on who is giving it and to where they are inviting you. (If Shawn invites me a charger game—hard pass)Your invitation matters because you have the impact power to make people feel special, you are the salt and light of the earth. You have the flavor, you got that juice, you carry the Spirit of God!This is why we do invites to an event, to a bible study, to a growth group or to a Sunday Service. We know in these spaces God moves and on Sundays we know the powerful life changing message of Jesus Christ will be preached!Remember your transformation, how did God transform your life and how does he continue to transform your life, is it not through invitations where divine opportunity awaits. Let's Go!Invitations lead to knowing God's truthWe invite others to hear and know the truth of God and the truth about themselves. Colossians 4:2-6 NIVWe pray for others, we are watchful for an open door, and we say the truth with grace and flavor. 1.  God's Design
: “God created us to know Him, to love Him, and to rule over creation under His authority. We were supposed to be under God but over everything else. We were supposed to rule over creation under the guidance and authority of God's Word. And God gave Adam a command and promised him life if he kept it and death if he didn't.2.  Our Rebellion
: But Adam rebelled, and every one of us has followed for everyone born from that man inherited that man's sin nature. This is why our world is broken for we all have sin in our genes, we all fall short of God's holy standard. We're guilty, spiritually dead, separated from God, and under His just judgment. No amount of good works can fix it—the penalty is death, and we owe it.3.  God's Rescue: 
Here's the good news: God loved us so much that He sent His perfect Son, Jesus—fully God, fully man, born of a virgin, so he's sinless not connected to sin like the rest of us. He lived the life we should have lived-righteously fulfilling God's commands and died the death we deserved. On the cross, He took God's wrath and paid for our sins with His blood. Then He rose from the dead, proving everything He said is true and that the debt is fully paid.4.  The Only Way
: Jesus said, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.' There is no other Savior, no other path. It's Jesus or nothing. More than a belief that he existed it is a firm conviction to trust and follow him. 5.  Your Response: So what must you do? Repent and believe. Repent means to turn away from ruling your own life.  Believe meaning put your full trust in Jesus alone as your Savior (who died for you) and your King (who deserves to lead you).
When you do that, God forgives every sin, makes you His child, and gives you eternal life—starting right now.”As John 1:12 states to all who received him and believed in his name he gave the right to become children of God. 

===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for November 14th Publish Date:  November 14th    Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Friday, November 14th and Happy Birthday to Alec John Such I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal GHC has highest enrollment growth among state colleges Cobb Sheriff’s Lt. Col. Dewayne Morris laid to rest after lifetime of public service Cobb’s proposed stormwater fee receives mild criticism Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on pesticides All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: MATCH MAGIC GIVEATHON STORY 1: GHC has highest enrollment growth among state colleges  Georgia Highlands College is on a roll. Over the past three years, enrollment has jumped 23%, now nearing 6,000 students—a record-breaking pace that’s earned GHC top honors from the USG Board of Regents for the fastest growth among state colleges. “This growth shows how deeply connected we are to the communities we serve,” said President Mike Hobbs. “As Northwest Georgia grows, we’re here to prepare graduates for meaningful careers and help businesses thrive.” Statewide, the University System of Georgia hit an all-time high this fall with 382,142 students, driven by a surge in in-state enrollment. Ready to join? Apply by January at apply.highlands.edu. STORY 2: Cobb Sheriff’s Lt. Col. Dewayne Morris laid to rest after lifetime of public service  Dewayne Morris, a man who lived and breathed public service, was laid to rest Tuesday after passing on Nov. 7 at the age of 63. A lieutenant colonel with the Cobb Sheriff’s Office and a retired sergeant from Cobb County Police, Morris dedicated his life to law enforcement. From his early days at Powder Springs PD to his decades with Cobb Police—where he earned two Meritorious Service medals—he was known for his leadership, grit, and heart. But Dewayne wasn’t just a cop. He loved fast cars, Diet Mountain Dew, Little Debbies, and cheering for the Braves and Hawks. He never met a stranger. A true hero. STORY 3: Cobb’s proposed stormwater fee receives mild criticism  Cobb County’s proposed $4.75 monthly stormwater fee is back on the table, but this time, the backlash is quieter—at least for now. Last year, the idea sparked packed meetings and fiery opposition. This week? A handful of speakers, mostly supportive or cautiously critical. The fee would nearly double the stormwater budget, funding overdue repairs, new equipment, and even regional detention projects. Homeowners would pay $4.75 a month, while businesses, churches, and schools would be charged based on impervious surfaces. Critics still call it a “tax,” and some HOAs argue they’re being double-billed. A final vote is set for Nov. 20. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

Run by NAMI Cobb, the center will focus on peer-led therapy—think group activities, coffee chats, and one-on-one support with trained specialists who’ve been there. “It’s about community,” said Neill Blake, NAMI Cobb’s programs director. “Sometimes, just coffee and conversation can be life-changing.” Opening early next year, the free center will feature art therapy, games, meditation, and more. For those battling isolation, it’s a lifeline. “Loneliness makes everything worse,” Blake added. “This could save lives.” STORY 5: OUT AND ABOUT: 5 things to do this weekend in Cobb County — Nov. 14 - 16 Atlanta Opera: ‘La Traviata’ This weekend’s your last chance to catch Verdi’s La Traviata at Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre.

On our perpetual quest for bigger, better, faster, wealthier, and stronger, we're led to believe that more is the answer – more gadgets, advanced technology, connections, resources, money, entertainment, etc. But what if there was a case to be made the answer to fulfillment is not in more but in less? My guest today, Dewyane Noel, makes that case. We talk about why less is more, how to reduce noise, chaos, and distraction in the modern world, the value of a hard day's work, what we can learn about human behavior through good horsemanship, and why good men ride good horses.

On March 20, 2005, Missouri State Highway Patrol Sergeant Dewayne Graham Jr. had just finished a shift when he was fatally gunned down in his own driveway. When a suspect was arrested days later, there was little doubt that investigators had caught the sergeant's cold-blooded killer. But a question rang out that still resonates to this day: should there have been doubt? Or was it easier for investigators to craft their own narrative and fill in the details later?
