Do you have any favorite clothing or food brands? If so, the company likely used some celebrity to showcase why their product is great. For example, “Our sports drink gives you the energy to shoot consistent 3-pointers. Just ask Michael Jordan.” Having a good example helps drive sales for companies. Today, Pastor Mark will teach that you ought to be a good example for Christ. Preaching the Gospel is one thing, but living it out makes it that much more appealing to others. The world is watching your actions to see if they line up with your beliefs. Will they find a true believer? Or will they just find empty words?

Football season is officially here, and apparently both of our churches decided to celebrate with big Sundays.Safety Harbor held its annual fantasy football draft after church, and this year's turnout was the biggest yet. What started as a fun little church league has turned into multiple leagues, a packed fellowship hall, plenty of football food, and way too many people convinced they can draft a championship roster.Over at Lakeview, they had a big Sunday of their own with a record-breaking new members class. Tim also managed to have what we're calling a 20,000-word Sunday, between preaching, teaching, meetings, and everything else pastors somehow agree to put on the same day. At some point, your vocal cords should qualify for overtime pay.And we're officially entering full-blown sports dad season. Practices, games, coaching, driving kids everywhere, and trying to figure out how all of that fits alongside an already full ministry calendar.It's fantasy football, new members, marathon Sundays, and the annual realization that the fall calendar has absolutely no respect for your free time.

In Week 4 of our Good News series, Pastor Jason Britt dives into 1 Corinthians 5 and 6 to address biblical sexual ethics and identity in Christ. Comparing and contrasting ancient Corinth and modern culture, the sermon exposes the flawed belief that bodily actions carry no spiritual weight. Rather than approaching the topic with shame or behavior modification, the message delivers gospel clarity: our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, bought with an unthinkable price, and designed to honor God.

Preaching from Jonah 3, Pastor Jared Richard opens with a striking observation — the greatest miracle in the book of Jonah may not be the great fish at all, but the repentance of Nineveh, one of the most wicked cities in the ancient world. Drawing on the deliberate literary parallels between Jonah 1 and Jonah 3, Pastor Jared shows that God's second call to Jonah is more than a plot device. It is a picture of mercy — the same mercy God has extended to all of His people, and the very reason we go to the lost. Just as God gave Jonah another chance to rise in obedience, He has given us, through new birth in Christ, not just a second chance but the Spirit-empowered ability to take advantage of it. From there, Pastor Jared turns to what we trust in as we go — the Word of God. He points out that from Jonah 3:5 forward, Jonah himself virtually disappears from the narrative, and it is the Word that does the work. Even with a divided heart, Jonah spoke what God gave him to say, and God used it mightily. Drawing on Philippians 1:15-18, Pastor Jared reminds the church that the mission of God does not depend on our eloquence, our apologetic skill, or even the perfect condition of our hearts — it depends on the faithful declaration of God's Word and trust in the power of His Spirit. Finally, the repentance of Nineveh — believing God, humbling themselves, crying out to Him, and turning from their evil ways — gives the church a clear and compelling picture of what Biblical repentance looks like. And because we carry a greater message than Jonah ever did, the incarnate Word of God Himself in the Lord Jesus Christ, we go with even greater confidence and an even greater promise to offer the lost.

On episode four of Simple Succession, Rusty George interviews Cam Huxford and Marcus Johnson about leadership transition at Savannah Christian Church (now Compassion Christian). Cam shares the church's history from its 1964 start, his arrival in 1984 at age 27, and growth to seven campuses across two states. He explains how he began thinking and praying about succession from day one, later influenced by Jack Welch's view that leaders must prepare successors, and how he developed internal leaders by giving them hard assignments. Cam describes a five-year timeline of prayer, fasting, and planning, announcing retirement 18 months ahead, and alternating preaching with Marcus before the September 2024 handoff. Marcus recounts joining the church as a student, serving in many roles over 17 years, being asked by elders to apply, and facing early discomfort and imposter syndrome while embracing Cam's legacy.

It's possible to follow all the rules and still have a heart far from God. In Mark 7, Jesus confronts a religious system that had become more committed to its traditions than to the heart of God. But then He takes it even deeper: our biggest problem isn't the evil around us—it's the sin already […]
All people are either in union with Adam or in union with Christ.
2 Peter 2 1But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep. 4For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment; 5if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6if by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes he condemned them to extinction, making them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; 7and if he rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the sensual conduct of the wicked 8(for as that righteous man lived among them day after day, he was tormenting his righteous soul over their lawless deeds that he saw and heard); 9then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment, 10and especially those who indulge in the lust of defiling passion and despise authority. Bold and willful, they do not tremble as they blaspheme the glorious ones, 11whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not pronounce a blasphemous judgment against them before the Lord. 12But these, like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyed, blaspheming about matters of which they are ignorant, will also be destroyed in their destruction, 13suffering wrong as the wage for their wrongdoing. They count it pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, while they feast with you. 14They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children! 15Forsaking the right way, they have gone astray. They have followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved gain from wrongdoing, 16but was rebuked for his own transgression; a speechless donkey spoke with human voice and restrained the prophet's madness. 17These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm. For them the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved. 18For, speaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of the flesh those who are barely escaping from those who live in error. 19They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved. 20For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first. 21For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them. 22What the true proverb says has happened to them: “The dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire.”
What does it look like to actually live as the household of God? In Acts 2, we see a changed people become family—sharing their lives, homes, resources, and time because they had encountered the grace of God. Because Jesus first opened His hands for us, grace received becomes generosity released as we make whatever God has given us available for the good of others.Catch the sermon at bridge.tv/sermons or wherever you listen to podcasts.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrCSupport the show
Luke 7:36-50 - Speaker: Will Galkin - What is grace? Ephesians 2:8–9 tells us that we are saved by grace through faith. It is the gift of God, not the result of our works. But in Luke 7:36–50, grace is not simply stated. It is illustrated. Jesus encounters a woman known for her sin and a religious man confident in his own standing and tells a story about two debtors who share the same problem. Neither can pay. Through this encounter, we discover that grace is God canceling a debt we could never repay and, in doing so, changing what we love. Forgiveness cannot be earned through religious effort or good works. It is received through faith in Jesus Christ. Jesus forgives sinners who cannot pay, and those who understand how much they have been forgiven respond with a life of love for him.

America in 2026 is not suffering from a shortage of religion, it is drowning beneath a flood of counterfeit Christianity. From the halls of political power to the stages of celebrity megachurches, another Jesus is being preached, another spirit is being received, and another gospel is being embraced. Donald Trump's spiritual adviser Paula White traffics in prosperity theology and bizarre spiritual theatrics, Kathryn Krick fills auditoriums with people shaking, trembling and falling backward, modern “apostles” sell impartations and supernatural activation, deliverance ministers convince saved believers that they are inhabited by devils, and New Apostolic Reformation prophets dream of conquering America's Seven Mountains through political power. “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” Ephesians 6:10-13 (KJB)We see how New Age manifestation, Kundalini-style experiences, prophetic fortune-telling and the commercial sale of the “anointing” are all being baptized in Christian language and presented as movements of the Holy Spirit. But Paul warned us that our battle is not against flesh and blood; it is against principalities, powers, the rulers of the darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness in high places. These are evil days, the deception is accelerating, and the command of Scripture has never been more urgent: redeem the time, put on the whole armour of God, preach the word, test every spirit and, having done all, to stand. On this Sunday Service, we equip you for battle.
What would cause you to turn from following Jesus? This life is full of excuses and in the conclusion of Luke 9, we see that there were those who wanted to follow Christ, but only on their terms. However, In Luke 9, we also see that Jesus sets his face toward Jerusalem and never turns his back! He knows what waits for him there. Rejection waits for him. Suffering waits for him. The cross waits for him. But he does not turn back! Therefore, because Jesus set his face toward the cross to save us, we must follow him with undivided allegiance.

A Sermon From Pastor Darryl Lovell
August 21, 2026 - Friday PM Session Glenn Hitchcock (Peninsula Church of Christ elder, retired Air Force veteran, trained social worker and Memphis School of Preaching alumnus) leads a frank, Bible-centered seminar on the importance of family and Christian parenting. In this episode he introduces six major points about family life—God as originator and protector, Scripture as the family's boundary, the centrality of submission, the role of behavior and structure, the long-term benefits of promotion into society, and the byproduct of spiritual and biological procreation. Using Ephesians 5 as the foundation, Glenn explains submission as a voluntary, Christ-centered choice that enables healthy relationships, and unpacks marriage principles like leaving and cleaving, oneness, and the husband's role as the initiator of love. He stresses that true headship mirrors Christ's sacrificial service, that wives' submission and husbands' loving initiation flow from love for the Lord, and that family relationships are sustained by service, responsibility, and sacrifice. Glenn also addresses practical concerns—advocating long courtships, the importance of grandparents and extended family, common marriage pitfalls, and the primary role of parents as disciple-makers (not replacing that with elders or teachers). The episode concludes with a Q&A about transferring submission to children, warnings about societal harms to children (abortion, abandonment, abuse), and an invitation to further sessions. Listeners should expect scriptural teaching, real-life illustrations, pastoral wisdom, practical steps for marriage and parenting, and a preview of the next day's sessions covering stages of parenting, discipline approaches, and the blessings of parenting.
