How do you get to “happily ever after”? Every fairy tale ends there, but few of them tell you what it costs to arrive.

This Sunday, we close out Ties That Bind - thirty-two weeks tracing the story God has been writing since Genesis 1: a good creation, broken by sin, rescued by Christ, and now, in Revelation 21, finally and permanently set right. John sees a new heaven and a new earth, and hears a voice from the throne declare, “Behold, I am making all things new… It is done.” God doesn’t just forgive his people and leave them to fend for themselves - he moves in. “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man.

But there’s a catch in this ending that fairy tales never mention. We tend to picture victory as strength winning out - the hero standing over what he’s conquered. Revelation 21 gives us something stranger: the throne belongs to a Lamb who conquered by dying. His people don’t inherit a kingdom they seized by power, but a home they receive by faithfulness - his, not theirs.

As we close this series on this Labor Day weekend - a weekend built around rest from our labor - it’s fitting to land here: the promise that one day God’s own work will be finished, and his people will rest in him forever.

Join us tomorrow at 9:00 AM as Pastor Will closes Ties That Bind with “They Lived Happily Ever After” from Revelation 21:1–8. We'd love to have you.

Last week, we asked: “What are you waiting for?” For many of us, we are waiting to feel ready to live missionally. And while we don’t we treat the Great Commission as something the church does, rather than something Christ has called us, personally, into. We wait to feel ready, wait for more training, wait for someone else to go first. But Jesus doesn't send his people into the world and stay behind - he goes with them into whatever he asks.

In Matthew 28, the risen Jesus gathers his disciples on a mountain in Galilee. Matthew tells us plainly: "they worshiped him, but some doubted." Not a confident, battle-ready army - a small group of ordinary people, some still wrestling with uncertainty, in the very moment Jesus hands them the most staggering assignment in history. He doesn't wait for them to feel equipped. He declares that all authority in heaven and on earth is his, gives them clear instructions to go and make disciples, and promises he will be with them as they do.

This Sunday, Pastor Will closes our GO series within Ties That Bind with "What Now?" from Matthew 28:16–20, a message about what it looks like to stop waiting to feel ready and start living sent with Jesus, today.

Join us Sunday at 9:00 AM. We'd love to have you.

Sunday worship from Lone Oak Baptist Church in Cunningham, Tennessee.

Message: What Are You Waiting For?
Scripture: John 4:27–42
Series: The Ties That Bind
Speaker: Pastor Will Binkley
Service Date: August 23, 2026

What if the thing we keep waiting for has already arrived?

In John 4, Jesus’ disciples return from buying food in Samaria and find Him speaking with a woman they never expected Him to notice. When they urge Jesus to eat, He tells them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about,” and then directs their attention to the fields: the harvest is already ripe.

The disciples had quietly assumed there was still time—that some people were not worth their attention and that satisfaction could be found somewhere safer than obedience. Jesus corrects those assumptions by showing them that the mission of God is already unfolding around them. The harvest is not merely a future responsibility; it is a present opportunity to participate in what Christ is doing.

The challenge is to lift up our eyes, recognize what God has placed before us, and stop waiting for a more convenient moment. Christ alone receives the glory for His work in the world, but those who join Him in the harvest are invited to share in its joy.

Have you ever walked past something valuable because you assumed it wasn't for you - or that it could wait?

In John 4, Jesus' disciples return from a supply run in Samaria to find him deep in conversation with a woman they wouldn't have expected him to talk to. They offer him food. He says something strange: "I have food to eat that you do not know about." That work is the will of the Father, and it cannot wait.

The disciples had quietly assumed the mission was not yet real. That some people weren't worth their attention. That satisfaction was found somewhere safer than obedience. That there was still time before any of this became urgent.

Jesus corrects all three assumptions in a single breath. The harvest isn't someday - it's now. And joining it was never meant to feel like a duty. It's a reason to rejoice.

This Sunday, Pastor Will continues our series The Ties That Bind with "What Are You Waiting For?" from John 4:27-42, a message about what happens when we stop waiting for the right moment and start looking at what's already ripe around us.

Join us Sunday at 9:00 AM. We'd love to have you.

✨ SESSION 2: GRACE, NOT WORKS ✨

Have you ever felt like you needed to work harder, behave better, or somehow prove that you were good enough for God?

Tonight, our students will continue Grace and Transformation by exploring one of the central truths of Romans: we are made right with God through faith in Jesus - not by anything we accomplish.

God’s grace isn’t something we earn. It’s a gift we receive.

📖 Romans 3:21–26
⏰ Tonight, 5:00–6:30 PM

Parents, encourage your students to attend and invite a friend. Church family, please pray that they experience the freedom of knowing that their relationship with God rests on what Jesus has already done.

What is the measure of a successful encounter?

When the apostle Paul stood before the philosophers of Athens - the most influential religious council in the ancient world - he proclaimed the true God who made heaven and earth. And he got every kind of response: some mocked him, some said “we'll hear more later,” and some believed. Paul didn't change a single word to secure a better outcome. He simply delivered the message and let God handle the verdict.

That's harder than it sounds. Most of us quietly grade our own faithfulness - and our church's - by how big the response is. When it isn't big enough, we grow anxious, we withdraw, or we start shading the message to make it land easier.

This Sunday in “Defining Mission Success,” we'll see why that verdict was never ours to produce in the first place - because Christ has already been appointed the world's Judge, proven by His own resurrection. All we're asked to do is go, and speak.

Join us this Sunday at 9:00 AM as we continue our series The Ties That Bind, looking at Acts 17:16–34.
