This week, Pastor Will shares from Jeremiah 29:1–14, reminding us that even in seasons that feel like exile, God is still at work. Like the exiles in Babylon, we're called to build, plant, and live faithfully where we are—trusting that God's plans for us are good and full of hope.Scripture references: Psalm 37:1-7, Matthew 6:25-34, and Matthew 6:25-34.“MY HOPE IS YOU” -- CCLI Song # 2373672  |  Brad Avery | David Carr | Mac Powell | Mark D.

This week, Pastor Will led our annual All Saints Sunday service, sharing from Hebrews 12:1–2. He reflected on the “great cloud of witnesses” — the saints of Scripture and our own church's history — who cheer us on as we run the race God has set before us.Scripture references: Psalm 24; Isaiah 25:6-9; and Hebrews 12:1–2“I WILL RUN” -- CCLI Song # 4797586  |  Misty Edwards  |  © 2005 Forerunner Worship | For use solely with the SongSelect® Terms of Use.

Romans 7 confronts us with a reality we often try to avoid: the inner battle between who we want to be in Christ and the sin that still entangles us. This passage reveals that even after coming to faith, we face an ongoing struggle with sin—not because we're broken or unsaved, but because the enemy works harder than ever to pull us off course. Paul himself confesses this tension: 'I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.' The central message here is profoundly liberating: death brings freedom from captivity. Through Christ's sacrifice, we've been released from the law that once held us bound. The marriage illustration isn't about divorce but about covenant—we are the bride who broke our vows through sin, and only through Jesus' death can we be freed and united with Him. What makes this particularly relevant to our lives today is the exploration of how God's good gifts—money, sexuality, alcohol, food—can become twisted by sin into chains that bind us. These 'big four' areas of struggle remind us that sin takes common graces and perverts them into bondage. The litmus test of genuine conversion isn't perfection but fruit-bearing: when we're truly connected to Christ, something changes within us. The question we must ask ourselves is deeply personal: What is holding us captive today? What sin keeps us from bearing the fruit God intends for our lives? This passage calls us to honest introspection, genuine repentance, and the courage to walk in the freedom Christ purchased for us.### Sermon Notes**Introduction:**- Pastor Will welcomes the congregation and expresses gratitude for the opportunity to gather and study Scripture.- The focus is on Romans chapter 7, a continuation of the sermon series on Romans, specifically looking at the controversial and often misinterpreted first six verses.**Main Themes:**1. **Universal Sinfulness:**  - Paul addresses the reality of sin present in all human lives.  - Sin is a common struggle that should be openly discussed despite cultural tendencies to avoid the topic.  - Recognizing our depravity is the first step towards understanding the need for redemption through Christ.2. **The Inner Battle:**  - Even after accepting Christ, believers struggle with sin.  - This internal conflict between the desire to follow Christ and the tendency to sin is a common experience.  - Paul's admission of his own struggles in Romans 7:17 reinforces this truth.3. **Freedom Through Christ:**  - Paul's illustration of marriage laws demonstrates that death (Christ's sacrifice) frees us from the law's bondage.  - Believers are no longer bound by the law of sin due to Christ's atonement, highlighting the transformative power of His death and resurrection.4. **From Captivity to Freedom:**  - Sin can enslave us, but death in Christ brings freedom.  - Paul uses marriage as an analogy to explain this freedom, cautioning that the text is not a prescription for divorce but an illustration of spiritual freedom.5. **Bearing Fruit:**  - True conversion is evidenced by a change in lifestyle and the bearing of spiritual fruit.  - Followers of Christ are expected to exhibit visible transformations in their lives.  - The presence of fruit is a litmus test for genuine faith.**Practical Applications:**1. **Self-Examination:**  - Reflect on personal sins that may be hidden or denied.  - Consider areas in life where self-control is lacking and seek accountability.2. **Understanding Freedom:**  - Embrace the freedom from sin's bondage by continually turning to Christ and confessing shortcomings.  - Recognize the liberty found in Christ, not as a license to sin, but as empowerment to live righteously.3. **Bearing Fruit:**  - Actively seek ways to bear fruit in life, such as serving others, practicing generosity, and growing in spiritual disciplines.  - Engage in community and accountability groups to foster growth and encourage one another.**Discussion Questions:**1. **Understanding Sin:**  - How does acknowledging our own sinfulness enhance our dependence on Christ?2. **Inner Struggles:**  - In what ways have you experienced the inner struggle between following Christ and falling back into sin?3. **Freed by His Sacrifice:**  - How can we live out the freedom Christ has provided in practical, everyday situations?4. **Response to Freedom:**  - What steps can you take to ensure that the freedom purchased by Christ's sacrifice is not taken for granted in your life?5. **Real Evidence:**  - What are some specific ways you or someone you know has evidenced their transformation in Christ through the bearing of spiritual fruit?

In The Day the Dead Walked, Pastor Will explores Matthew's eerie account of the earth shaking and tombs opening at Jesus' death. What seems like horror becomes hope—the moment death begins to die. The torn veil and empty graves declare that nothing, not even death, can separate us from God. The grave doesn't win. Jesus does.

This week, Pastor Will shared Ezekiel's vision of the Valley of Dry Bones from Ezekiel 37. In it, we hear a word for today as we await the breath of God to breathe new life into our lives, our church, and our world.Scripture references: Psalm 85; John 20:19–23; and Ezekiel 37:1-14“DAYS OF ELIJAH” -- CCLI Song # 1537904  |  Robin Mark  |  © 1996 Song Solutions Daybreak (Admin. by Song Solutions www.songsolutions.org)  |  For use solely with the SongSelect® Terms of Use.

In Graveyard Shift, part of Spooky Stories from the Bible, Pastor Will explores Ezekiel's vision of dry bones coming to life. Through this haunting story, he reminds us that even in our most lifeless and hopeless moments, God's Spirit can breathe new life. When we pray and partner with God, miracles happen—hope rises, and the impossible lives again.

This week, Pastor Will finished up our summer journey through some of the most challenging passages in Luke's Gospel. In Luke 17:11-19, we hear the story of the healing of ten lepers, and receive a challenge from Jesus that reminds us to make giving thanks to God a central part of our lives.“I THANK GOD” -- CCLI Song # 7169680  |  Aaron Moses | Chuck Butler | Dante Bowe | Enrique Holmes | Jesse Cline | Maryanne J.

Pastor Will preaches on Romans 8:18-27.

In The Witching Hour, Pastor Will opens the series Spooky Stories from the Bible with Saul's haunting visit to a medium in 1 Samuel 28. When fear silences his faith, Saul turns to darkness for control—and loses everything. Pastor Will reminds us that in life's witching hours, we overcome fear not through control, but by trusting God.

In his message on “Do Not Steal,” Pastor Will Ford explains that this commandment is about more than taking possessions—it's about loving and trusting God completely. People often steal out of fear, greed, or a lack of faith in God's provision, but true freedom comes from believing He is our Provider. Stealing can also mean robbing others of dignity, time, or trust—and even robbing God of worship. When we withhold praise or offer half-hearted worship, we align with the enemy, the first thief. Through passionate, wholehearted worship, we reclaim what's been stolen—God's presence, joy, and blessing. Ultimately, Pastor Will reminds us that we've all been forgiven much, and our response should be radical love and gratitude that gives God all the glory.

This week, Pastor Will looks at Genesis 18:1-8 and Hebrews 13:1-2 and talks about how offering the gift of hospitality can lead to great blessings from God.Note: This week's worship service was held outdoors in our Pumpkin Patch. Due to difficulties in capturing quality audio outdoors, this is a re-recording of the sermon.

Thank you for tuning it to our next episode of Reconcile Stories. On this episode Pastor Will interviews his sister, Shaniece Criss, to talk about her faith story, coming out of a cult, and the importance of the Prisca Team at Reconcile Community Church.

This team helps to minister to the church, community, and our church leaders.   Thank you for supporting our mission to Preach The Gospel. Produce Disciples. Pursue Justice.

When we walk with Jesus we can start to wonder what's next in our walk and that question can lead us anywhere. Pastor Will uses a story in the bible to help us answer that exact question.

In this powerful message, we delve into the profound truths of Romans 5, exploring the origins of sin and the transformative power of God's grace. We're reminded that sin entered the world through one man, Adam, but salvation came through another, Jesus Christ. This parallel between Adam and Christ reveals the depth of our human condition and the magnitude of God's redemptive plan. The message challenges us to confront our own struggles with sin, acknowledging that we can't overcome it on our own. Instead, we're encouraged to reach out and grasp the hand of Christ, who offers us a way out of the quicksand of our transgressions. This imagery of Christ extending His hand to pull us from the mire of sin is a powerful reminder of God's ever-present grace and our need to actively receive it. As we reflect on this message, we're called to embrace transparency in our faith journey, understanding that our past struggles can become powerful testimonies of God's redemptive work in our lives.### Detailed Notes:**Introduction:**- The sermon begins with Pastor Will introducing Romans chapter 5, verse 12.- Emphasis is placed on the theological depth of this chapter and its foundational significance.- The sermon links back to the beginning of creation, highlighting the importance of understanding Genesis to grasp our current relationship with God.**Sin and Its Origin:**- Sermon discusses the entrance of sin into the world through Adam, referencing the concept of original sin.- Original sin is inherent and does not require teaching; it's an observed reality in human behavior.- Example given: children naturally exhibit selfishness without being taught.**Historical Background:**- Sin entered through one man, Adam, and affected all humanity.- The narrative of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden: after they sinned, they realized their nakedness and tried to cover it up.- The first sin wasn't just eating the fruit but the desire to be like God, originating from Satan's temptation.**Comparison of Adam and Jesus:**- Adam is a type of Christ, serving as a foreshadowing of Jesus.- Sin came through Adam, while salvation and grace come through Jesus.- The consequences of sin (death) versus the free gift through Jesus (life).**Grace and Life Through Jesus:**- Emphasizes the "free gift" of grace which is unlike the trespass of Adam.- Grace overcomes the ramifications of sin, offering justification and life.- Salvation through Jesus is likened to receiving a desired gift; it requires acceptance.**Practical Redemption & Transparency:**- The sermon encourages acknowledging one's sin and reaching out for God's help.- Transparency in the church community is highlighted: sharing the journey from sin to redemption strengthens faith.- God's victorious plan was set before the foundation of the world; He chose to redeem humanity despite knowing their sins.**Practical Applications:**1. **Acknowledge and Accept Grace:**  - Reflect on personal sins and accept the grace God offers. This could be through prayer or contemplation on God's mercy.2. **Be Honest and Transparent:**  - In church fellowship or small groups, share personal struggles and testimonies honestly to encourage and support one another.3. **Study the Foundation of Sin and Redemption:**  - Read and study Genesis and Romans to better understand the nature of sin and the necessity of Christ's redemption.4. **Embrace Your Faith Actively:**  - Go beyond a nominal belief. Actively engage with your faith by participating in community worship, Bible study, and serving others.5. **Trust in God's Plan:**  - Rest with the assurance of God's foreknowledge and intentional plan for salvation, which includes you no matter your past mistakes.**Discussion Questions:**1. What does original sin mean to you, and how have you seen its effects in everyday life?  2. How do you interpret the connection between Adam as a "type" of Christ? What are the similarities and differences you see?3. In what ways have you experienced the "quicksand of sin" in your life, and how did you find freedom through Christ?4. How can we as a community be more transparent about our struggles with sin to help each other grow spiritually?5. What are practical steps you can take this week to deepen your relationship with God, acknowledging His gift of grace more fully?6. How does understanding the depth of your sin impact your appreciation for the salvation offered through Jesus?7. How do you perceive the balance between discussing sin and focusing on grace within your spiritual walk and in church settings?

In Widening the Circle, Pastor Will concludes the series Find Your People, Love Your Neighbor with a call to radical hospitality. Sharing stories of opening his home and reflecting on Hebrews and Luke, he reminds us that God's community isn't just for us—it's for those not here yet. True belonging happens when we make space, invite others, and draw the circle wider.

Pastor Will be preaching in Isaiah 59.

In Just Take a Walk Together, Pastor Will reminds us we're not created to go through life alone.

In You Don't Have to Have It All Together, Pastor Will challenges us to drop the masks we wear—hiding stress, fear, or imperfection—and embrace vulnerability. Jesus modeled openness, and Paul showed strength in weakness. True belonging, growth, and community come when we are real with God and each other. God's grace is enough, and vulnerability connects us to others.

In Worship: The Labor of Love, Pastor Will Ford teaches that work is more than a task—it's worship. Drawing from the Hebrew word avodah, which means work, worship, and service, he illustrates how daily labor was always intended to be an act of devotion to God. Since the Garden of Eden, man was created to cultivate in partnership with God, but after the Fall, humanity began working for significance instead of from significance. Jesus redeemed this curse, restoring work as a labor of love. Pastor Will emphasizes that excellence in work honors God, and when we offer our best, even mundane jobs become sacred. Drawing parallels between the Levites and modern believers, he charges Christians to carry God's glory into every sphere—business, politics, creativity, and culture. Through biblical insight and inspiring stories of believers like Madam C.J. Walker and William Merrill Vorhies, the message commissions every Christian to see their vocation as a calling, their workplace as a ministry, and their work as worship.
