What does it mean to truly be great? This is the question Jesus unpacks with his disciples, after being asked if a couple of them could sit next to him once he is on his throne.
In Matthew 14, Jesus comes to His disciples in the middle of a storm, walking on the water and revealing His power over the forces that might terrify us. When Peter steps out of the boat in faith, he discovers both the strength of trusting Jesus and the danger of taking his eyes off Him.
Jesus said that faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains—not because of the size of our faith, but because of the greatness of our God in whom we place it. This faith is choosing to trust God in the middle of uncertainty and taking the next step even when we cannot see the whole path. When we offer God our small, imperfect faith, He is able to grow it into something far greater than we could imagine! Join us as we unpack this further, today.
Today we get to join James, John, and Peter in experiencing Jesus being transfigured before their eyes. What does this have to do with us? EVERYTHING!
Jesus = Life | 1 John 5:1-12 Rev Tyler Smith
Today we spend time in Matthew 10, where Jesus first sent his disciples out in the world. As we dive in together we notice that Jesus prepares us, give us practical help, shares precautions, and encourages us with promises straight from His heart.

Jesus flips the crowd's idea of family upside down.He says God's family is bigger than blood relatives.Anyone who follows God belongs at His table.

Jesus heals a demon-possessed man, which amazes the crowd. The Pharisees, who are trying to see Jesus killed, accuse Him of using demonic power - hoping the crowds will stone him for them...but Jesus exposes the flaw in their logic, teaching that a divided kingdom cannot stand! He seems to find it easy to heal an unclean Spirit, but spends more time addressing the Pharisees hardness of heart. Jesus wants to change both and is willing to, if you will let him...
Are you weary? Jesus invites all who are weary, tired, and burdened to find rest in him - taking His yoke instead of any other yokes the world OR we would put on our metaphorical shoulders.
Every person who calls on the name of Jesus is called a "Christian" or "Little Christ". So, with this in mind we are supposed to look like Jesus, by the power of his Spirit! Keep that fresh as we dive into Matthew's account of Jesus calling his disciples.
Do you want to be blessed? Now, I am not suggesting a blessing necessarily in the eyes of the world, but in the eyes of Jesus. If your answer is yes (or if not) join us today as we "sit" with Jesus on a mountainside and hear him talk about being blessed - who will be blessed, how they will be blessed, and what that looks like today.
In this message, Pastor Joe continues the Friends of Jesus series by exploring how healthy, life-giving friendships are formed and sustained. In a culture facing a growing loneliness crisis—especially among men—we're reminded that we were created for deep, meaningful relationships. Looking at Jesus' friendship with Martha, Mary, and Lazarus, this sermon highlights what helps friendships truly flourish: honesty, humility, and honor. Through Martha's story, we see that Jesus doesn't reject our personality or wiring—He redirects our focus, inviting us into deeper communion with Him and others. This message challenges us to stop pushing friendship to the margins of our busy lives and instead build it into our everyday rhythms. As we follow Jesus, we're invited not only to receive His friendship, but to intentionally create space for relationships that reflect His love.
These passages give us more insight into the identity of Jesus. They also challenge us to become a willing and vibrant community seeing the Kingdom of God coming here on earth.
What if following Jesus is not about trying harder, but about living with Him?In this message, we explore what it means to live the with-Jesus life. A life shaped by daily awareness of God's presence, intentional practices, and steady transformation over time. Spiritual growth is not accidental. It happens when we arrange our lives around habits that allow the Holy Spirit to do what we could never do through direct effort.Through Scripture, personal stories, and the picture of training instead of trying, this sermon invites us into a better way of living. A life marked by peace, joy, obedience, and freedom. Not perfection, but formation.Baptism is highlighted as a spiritual practice of trust and obedience, and an invitation to step into the abundant life Jesus offers. Not as a future reward, but as a present reality.Want to go deeper? The mid-week Step In podcast from Southside Church helps you pause, refocus, and lean into the abundant life Jesus offers. Not just as a future promise, but as a present reality. Each episode continues the conversation from Sunday and helps you take your next step.Listen at southsidelife.com/step-in
What are you really hungry for? In John 6, Jesus calls Himself the Bread of Life—not just Savior, but the fulfillment of our deepest desires. In this episode, Whit George, Casey Shirley, and Lee Martin explore idolatry, misordered love, and why true life isn't found in optimizing ourselves, but in being satisfied by God.

If you've ever lain awake wondering, "Am I messing my kids up?"—you're in good company. So many of us are parenting without a clear template. This is where the language of attachment can be a gift—not as a label to shame you, but as a tool to understand how you were shaped, how you're parenting now, and how Jesus can bring healing and security into the story. In this episode, Jamie and Heather sit down with Valerie Isaacs, a licensed professional counselor supervisor, reflective consultant, and mental health trainer. It's honest, eye-opening, grace-filled, and full of hope for every stage of the parenting journey.

Understanding Attachment Styles About Church on the Move: We are a family of churches in northeast Oklahoma. Our mission is to introduce people to the real Jesus. A lot of people know about Jesus but have yet to experience the life-changing power of His grace and truth. Knowing Jesus has transformed our lives, so our goal for each of our worship services, from our kids' environments on up, is to help people know that same love. We actively pursue Jesus in everything we do, and we believe He's given us a vision for a church that is deeply centered on Him and His word.

New Season Alert!!!
One day a friend of mine called me and said “Jim, I have been trying to mentor and disciple my friend for 2 years now. He is hopeless. Maybe He will listen to you.” That was almost 10 years ago now. My new mentee was not a believer yet, was struggling with issues from the battlefield that impacted his marriage, and was very skeptical of church culture. For 3 years, we wrestled about faith topics in person, by phone, and by text. Finally, he surrendered his life to Jesus, which is hard for war vets to do, and then the real work began. For the next 7 years, we read and studied the Bible together, discussing family, work, faith, and parenting issues. Today he is challenging me with things about my faith. God has worked a miracle. Mentoring this young man has made a difference for eternity. Pour your Jesus Life into someone today.
My husband Jim and I are very different. He has done a lot of formal mentoring, and I tend to do more informal mentoring. Over the years, I have taken the time to live life alongside so many different women. Some older than me, some younger than me. Since Jim and I are involved in marriage mentoring with Christian Entrepreneurial couples, I often spend time with the wives working life out with them. You see, mentoring for me looks like phone calls, drop-in visits, shopping trips, and texting. The women I pour my Jesus life into rarely have time to meet for coffee, but we can share coffee over the phone or Facetime just the same. My mentoring often looks scattered and informal, but I am available when needed and recognize that just stepping out for a call is part of my discipleship ministry. Who do you pour your Jesus Life into?
If there is one thing I learned from my first mentor, Mike, it is that mentoring and discipleship is something to be done in the context of life and not in a hurry. It was not a box to be checked but time to be set aside. It was an investment of Mike's life into mine and, honestly, as it turns out, an investment of my life into Mikes. Since I experience God differently than Mike, he learned things from me too. It's important to understand that every time you pour your Jesus life into someone else, you will, in return, have their Jesus Life poured into you. This interchange is part of the process of disciple-making. Mentoring with discipleship takes time, but it is an investment that pays lifelong & eternal rewards. Pour your Jesus life into someone and watch them pour back into you. It will change your life for the better.
As a 16-year-old and a new believer of just 3 years, I needed someone to invest their life in mine. Was that discipleship or mentorship that I needed? Enter - Mike. Many would argue that being a disciple-maker is inherently different than being a mentor. Mentors often help someone become more like the mentor; Disciple makers help someone become more like JESUS. Discipleship invites someone to follow us as we follow Jesus and then step aside so that we can learn directly from the Master Himself. I argue that Mike poured his Jesus life into my life and taught me not just about Jesus but about life and Jesus – no matter what you call it. As believers, everyone needs a Paul figure that will pour their Jesus Life into them and a Timothy to pour their Jesus life into. Being mentored and mentoring others has rapidly deepened my faith. Get a mentor and start mentoring today.

We're blessed to hear from our Teaching & Creative Pastor, Brant Cole, this morning as he brings us a message as we continue to study through the book of Hebrews. Life often tempts us to choose what's easy, comfortable, or popular—but Hebrews 13 challenges us to choose something far better: the Jesus life. This message unpacks five powerful, practical choices that help us follow Jesus with boldness, purity, humility, and faith, even when it's hard. It's an honest look at what it means to love deeply, live faithfully, and trust God's work in us through every season. Whether you're feeling weary in your walk or searching for what truly lasts, this sermon will remind you that hope, joy, and strength are found not in the easiest life—but in the Jesus life. #WalloonChurch #LoveLikeJesus #Hebrews #ByFaith #Jesus
