Wilson & Julie Adams joined us this weekend to encourage us with a workshop series called "Where is God When I Hurt?". We greatly appreciate all their efforts and the church was greatly edified by their work.

Below are the group sessions that were led by Wilson Adams for those that might like to listen to the recordings.

Have you ever felt like everything was out of control? Like the world was spinning and there was nothing you could do to stop it?

There was a man in the Bible named Job that felt that way. He lost everything. His health. His family. His closest friends turned on him. And for a long time it felt like even God had gone silent.

But God was never out of control. Not then. Not now. Not ever.

This Sunday we are closing out the book of Job with a message that is going to remind you of something you may have forgotten: The same God who laid the foundations of the earth, set the boundaries of the ocean, and calls every star by name still has the whole world in His hands. That includes yours.

Come worship with us this Sunday for worship and a message called: GOD HAS THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS

We plan to start at 9:30 a.m.
Our address: 1004 Pryor St E, Athens, AL 35611

Few statements in Scripture are as confident and hopeful as Job's declaration:

"I know that my Redeemer lives." (Job 19:25)

This Sunday we'll continue our study through the Bible as we turn to the book of Job and reflect on this powerful passage.

The book of Esther is rather unique among the Scriptures. One thing in particular that sets it apart is that God is never directly mentioned—yet at the same time, His presence can be seen on every page.

Through a series of seemingly ordinary events and unlikely people, God is quietly working behind the scenes to preserve His people and accomplish His purposes.

This Sunday, our lesson, “The Hidden Hand of God,” will come from this wonderful book.

We’d love for you to join us this Sunday as we worship God together and remember the sacrifice of Christ.

What do you do when something falls and breaks?

Every single one of us has seen something fall. A relationship. A community. A faith that once stood strong. The ruins are real. The discouragement is real. And the enemy wants you to believe that what is broken cannot be restored.

But Nehemiah heard differently.

When he saw the walls of Jerusalem lying in rubble and the people living in shame, he didn't look away. He didn't move on. He heard the call — and he answered it. He said, "Come, let us rebuild."

That call is still going out today.

This Sunday we are going to the book of Nehemiah. We are going to look at a man who refused to accept the ruins as the final word. A people who picked up their tools and went to work. And a God who proved that what looks like a pile of broken stone in the hands of the Almighty becomes something no enemy can tear down again.

The walls didn't fall by accident. And they won't be rebuilt by sitting still.

It's time. Come answer the call.

Join us this Sunday for Worship and a message from Nehemiah called:

REBUILDING THE TORN DOWN WALLS

We plan to start at 9:30 a.m.

Have you ever started something, but didn’t finish?

Maybe life got busy. Maybe the timing didn’t feel right. Maybe you just stopped.

You’re not the only one.

There was a time when God’s people found themselves in that exact place. What mattered most had been left undone but God didn’t give up on them.

He stirred their hearts.

He called them to look honestly at where they were… to stop waiting… and to start rebuilding.

And here’s the part that changes everything: God met them right in the middle of it—before it was finished.

Join us this Sunday at Athens Church, for worship and message called “The Journey of the Stirred.”

See what happens when God moves in your heart and how you respond. Because of Jesus, you don’t have to have it all together to come back. You just have to come.

We plan to begin our worship service at 9:30am.
Our address is: 1004 Pryor St E, Athens, AL 35611

Who/What do you WORSHIP?

Every single one of us worships someone or something.

The question is: Is it worthy of Worship?

This Sunday we are going to the book of First Chronicles. What we will see at the beginning is a list of names that becomes one powerful and hope filled message from God to a broken and forgotten people, "I know who your name and I have never forgotten you"

Later we see a king doing something that changes everything for God's people. He doesn't just lead a nation. He leads a nation in WORSHIP. And what that worship does should shake and stir up us today.

Worship is not just a few songs before the sermon. It is not a performance. Worship is powerful and life changing. Lord willing, we will explore how in our time together.

Come join us this Sunday for Worship and a message from 1st Chronicles called: WORSHIP - HE IS WORTHY OF IT ALL

We plan to start at 9:30 a.m.
Our address: 1004 Pryor St E, Athens, AL 35611

WHO'S IN CHARGE HERE?

What does it look like when the people in charge forget who is really in charge?

Come find out this Sunday.

We will be walking through the book of 2nd Kings. A book that is raw, honest, and more relevant to us here and now than we may understand. And we are going to end up exactly where every failing king and kingdom end up. Pointing to the feet of Jesus Christ! The King who is the Authority and Truth.

Come ready to worship and give glory to the One who deserves it all.

Join us this Sunday at 9:30 a.m.

Join us this Sunday for worship the One True GOD and hear a message from 1st Kings called “From a United Kingdom to a Divided Kingdom”.

Here we will see that through seasons of unity, blessing, but eventual division, what happens when hearts drift from the Lord.

Are you living in a season where hope feels dead and lost? Come and See that hope is very much Alive and Present in the Risen Savior, JESUS CHRIST!

We’d love to have you!
