EVERYTHING WE NEED IS HERE!

Have you ever noticed how much time we spend looking for someone who can fix the problems around us? We look to leaders, governments, policies, and other people to bring the change we desperately want to see. And while those things do matter, what if we’re missing something far greater?

In Mark 11, when Jesus entered Jerusalem, the crowds welcomed Him as King. Many, however, were looking for a king who would defeat their political enemies and change their circumstances. But little did they know that Jesus came to do something far greater. He was not the King they wanted, He was the King they all needed.

And He still is the King we all need today!

Come worship with us at Athens Church this Sunday as we sing, pray, and hear an inspired message from God's Word to see how JESUS is the King We All Need.

Address: 1004 Pryor St. E, Athens, AL

The promised King has come. What does it mean to live as His people?

As our Scripture readings take us into the Gospels, we’ll look at how Jesus fulfills God’s promises and what He teaches us about life in His kingdom. From our attitudes and priorities to how we treat others, the Sermon on the Mount challenges us to consider what following Him looks like each day.

Join us this Sunday for “The Kingdom We’ve Been Waiting For,” from the book of Matthew.

We’d love to have you worship and study with us!

THE POWER OF SILENCE

Have you ever thought about the fact that in conversation, silence is not just the absence of words being spoken? It has a purpose. Sometimes it makes us listen. Sometimes it makes us wait. And sometimes it makes the next word(s) more powerful than we ever expected.

At the end of the Old Testament, God's people heard the last words of the prophet Malachi, and then the voices stopped. For about four hundred years, no new word came. But the silence was not the end of the story. When God finally spoke again, He did not send another message. He sent His Son.

Come worship with us this Sunday as we sing, pray, and hear an inspired message from God's Word: WHEN THE SILENCE IS BROKEN, a look at the power of silence as we move from the Old Testament into the New Testament and the fulfilled promise through of Jesus.

Worship begins at 9:30 a.m.

“What Does God Really Want?”

This Sunday we’ll continue our journey through the scriptures and take a look at the three of the Minor Prophets: Joel, Amos, and Obadiah.

These three short books come from very different moments in the history of God’s people, but each one speaks into a real situation and asks us to think seriously about what God is really looking for from His people.

We’ll spend some time looking at the story and setting behind each book, and then consider what their message still has to say to us today.

If you were asked to draw a picture of love, what would it look like?

We would probably all draw hearts. Perhaps, we might make an attempt to draw a couple smiling and holding hands after fifty years of marriage. But maybe for you, it would be a parent staying up all night with a sick child. We all have an image in our minds of what real love looks like.

But what about a love that keeps showing up after being betrayed? A love that keeps giving after being ignored and forgotten. A love that pays a price it never had to pay, just to bring someone home.

That kind of love feels almost impossible to imagine, yet it's exactly the kind of love God shows us in an unforgettable Old Testament story, one that points us straight to one of the most familiar verses in all of Scripture. For God so loved the world.

This Sunday, we're tracing the life of the prophet Hosea and asking what it means that our God pursues us with a love we could never earn and don't deserve.

Come worship with us this Sunday as we sing, pray, and hear an inspired message from God's Word: FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, the picture of God's Love from the book of Hosea.

So, what's your life centered around?

We all build our lives around something. Career, image, comfort, keeping it all together. It's easy to put ourselves at the center and never even realize it.

This Sunday, we're looking at a story about a few young folks who were thrown into a world built to make much of everything except God, but still chose instead to make much of Him, no matter the cost.
Join us and see what it looks like to live a life centered on God

Got plans tomorrow?

Jesse Woodby plans to speak on “Finding God in Unexpected Places” from the book of Ezekiel.

We’d love to have you join us tomorrow as we worship God together and consider the words of one of His prophets.

So, what's the plan?

Life has a way of throwing seasons at us we didn't sign up for. Waiting, uncertainty, wondering if things will ever change. Sound familiar?

Centuries ago, God's people asked the exact same question, in circumstances far greater than most of us will ever face.

This Sunday, we're stepping into one of the most quoted and perhaps misunderstood promises from Jeremiah 29:11. What does it actually mean when God says He has plans for you? The answer might surprise you, and might be exactly what you need to hear right now.

Come worship with us as we sing, pray, and hear an inspired message from God's Word: GOD HAS BIG PLANS FOR YOU

Don't give up!

Life has a way of wearing us down. It's full of disappointment, heartache, seasons where hope feels hard to hold onto. Centuries ago, God's people felt the same way.

This Sunday, we'll step into the words of the prophet Jeremiah. This is a man who stayed faithful through some of the darkest days imaginable, and never gave up. His story reminds us that God hasn't given up on us either.

Come worship with us as we sing, pray, and spend time in God's Word together.

Worship begins at 9:30 a.m.

Will the world always be this way?

Wars. Division. Broken relationships. Bad news. Heartache. Even our own failures remind us that something isn't right.

Deep down, we all long for a day when wrongs are made right, pain gives way to peace, and hope triumphs over despair. But where do we find confidence that a day like this is really coming?

This Sunday, we'll open the Book of Isaiah with the first of two sermons and uncover a message that has given God's people hope for centuries. It's a timely reminder that no matter how dark the present may seem, God is still working toward something far greater.

Come worship with us this Sunday as we sing, pray, remember our Savior around the Lord's Table, and spend time in God's Word together.

Worship begins at 9:30 a.m.
1004 Pryor St. E, Athens, AL 35611

We'd love for you to join us.
