I want to show you a God story.
In 2022 — Sharon Woods Church baptized 3 people.
In 2023 — 4.
In 2024 — 11.
In 2025 — 35.
2026 — 11 so far.
This isn't a program.
This isn't a slick strategy.
This is the Holy Spirit at work in our midst.
Our vision is 330 by 2030: Jesus Must Increase.
Not a number on a wall.
Each one is a name. A story. A person Jesus died to save.
"He must increase. But I must decrease." — John 3:30

For the weary mom who feels like she’s not enough — this is for you.
God has never asked you to be “enough.” He invites you to trust Him, lean on Him, and rest in His sustaining grace.

You don’t carry this alone.
And your faithfulness matters more than you know.

Share this with a mom who needs hope and encouragement, today.

Some of you have never said yes to Jesus.
Jesus died on the cross and took your place.
“The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Today could be the day of your salvation.

If you’re in Columbus and you’re ready to take a step toward Jesus, we’d love to walk with you.

The mission of the church was never meant to rest on the shoulders of one preacher.

The gospel spreads when ordinary believers refuse to stay silent about Jesus.

Your workplace.
Your neighborhood.
Your family.

These are your mission fields.

At Sharon Woods Church we’re praying for 330 baptisms by 2030 — not about numbers, but about names and lives changed by Jesus.

Who has God placed around you today that needs encouragement, prayer, or to hear that God loves them?

Your future is not secured by your grip on God.

Your future is secure because God is holding on to you.

That’s why Christian hope is unshakable. Even when life feels like a storm, our hope rests in the One who never lets go.

If you needed that reminder today, take a moment and breathe it in.

Why do we keep returning to the past that God already buried?

The Bible teaches that through Jesus Christ, the old life is gone and a new life begins. The gospel doesn’t just forgive your past — it buries it.

So stop digging up what God already put in the grave.

📖 Romans 6:4–7

If you're a believer but you've been living like the old life is still in charge, today can be a turning point.

The Bible teaches that through Jesus Christ the old self has been crucified. That means you don’t have to keep living under the power of your past.

Today may be the day to take a step forward:

• Name the thing that keeps pulling you back
• Bring it into the light
• Confess the sin
• Find accountability
• Ask for help

And begin again today in the power of the risen Christ.

📖 “Consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.” — Romans 6:11

So many followers of Jesus feel crushed under the weight of perfection.
But Jesus never asked you to be flawless — He asked you to follow Him.

It’s not perfection.
It’s direction.
It’s the daily choice to keep walking with Christ, even when you stumble.

My dad used to tell me:
“Son, I don’t care if you end up in the ditch sometimes… I want to know what direction you were headed when you got there.”

Your walk with Jesus isn’t measured by how perfectly you perform, but by where your heart is pointed.
Keep moving toward Him today.

“God can’t heal - what you refuse to reveal.”

“Your identity is not in your pain, but in God’s presence.”

“You can carry the burden, or you can give it to God — but you can’t do both!”

“You can rest, you can sleep in peace, knowing that God is at work in the situations and people you cannot control.”

“Family pain is temporary; God’s hope is eternal.”

“Your worth is not in what your family says about you, but in what God says about you.”

“Stop carrying what God wants to carry for you.”

“Only God restores, saves, heals, and redeems — you do not have to be the hero of your family story.”

“When family dysfunction threatens to define us, we can declare: ‘But You, O Lord…’”
