Greenfield Church of Christ

Greenfield Church of Christ Greenfield, IN // Rooted in Christ. Growing with family. Here in Greenfield, we strive to be that church, nothing more and nothing less. Ready to get started?

Two thousand years ago, the Son of God came to earth to conquer sin and death and establish a church that would be founded on the good news of that victory. The simple reality is that this life is too hard to face alone, but the Bible tells us that God built His church so we don't have to. We know everyone faces times of joy, sorrow, and everything in between. That doesn't go away when we accept C

hrist into our life. The difference is that when the church is what God designed it to be we will have a sturdy foundation in Christ to weather the storms of life and a family that will be there with us every step of the way. Join us to worship this Sunday at 10:45am. Plan your visit at greenfieldchurchofchrist.org/visit.

The younger son has hit bottom. He's starving, feeding pigs, dreaming about bread. Something shifts in him and he decides to go home... not because he deserves to. He's already rehearsing the speech: make me like one of your hired servants.

He starts the walk. He's still a long way off.

And the text says his father saw him while he was still a great way off... and ran.

I've read that story hundreds of times. The detail that stops me is that the father was already watching the road. He had to have been watching. You don't spot someone at a distance unless you've been looking.

The father was standing somewhere with his eyes on the horizon, waiting for a silhouette he recognized.

That is the posture of God toward you.

In Deuteronomy 30 Moses told Israel, β€œYou will wander. You will drift so far that you'll forget what it felt like to be close to God. But when you turn, I will gather you. I will bring you back.”

That's what is stunning about what God built into this covenant. He didn't write Israel a plan for avoiding failure. He wrote them a plan for coming home.

I think a lot of us have a version of the prodigal’s speech prepared, the things we need to fix before we come back to God first. We're rehearsing the hired-servant version of returning.

But the father doesn't wait for the speech. He sees his son in the distance and runs. The son never gets to deliver the full version of what he practiced. The father is already there.

So Deuteronomy 30 says: turn. Don’t wait until the speech is perfect. God is just waiting for you to come home.

Camp is officially OPEN! πŸ•οΈ

Wilderness Adventure Camp kicks off this morning at 9:45am. Our kids are heading into the wild to discover that following Jesus is the greatest adventure of all!

Imagine two houses. They’re in the same neighborhood. You couldn't tell them apart from the street. They have the same siding, same roof, same windows. In fair weather, they looked identical.

But when the storm comes, with the rain, the floods, and the wind, one stands and one falls.

Jesus tells this story at the end of the Sermon on the Mount, and I don't think it's an accident that He's talking to people who have been sitting at His feet all day. People who heard every word. People who nodded along to the Beatitudes and the Lord's Prayer and everything in between.

He looks at them and says: hearing this is not enough. You have to build on it. You have to tear out your old foundation and let these teachings form the bedrock of your life.

That’s how you prepare your house for the storm.

Base camp is almost open! πŸ•οΈ

This summer, we're heading on an 11-week journey through one of the greatest adventure stories in all of Scripture, from the plagues of Egypt all the way to the Promised Land. We'll see seas part, bread fall from heaven, spies in a new land, and most of all, that God is always with us on the journey. He fights for us, provides for us, and leads us. Our job is to trust Him, even when the path is hard.

Summer Bible School is for all kids 2 years old to 5th-Grade.

Meet us at the trailhead this Sunday at 9:45 AM! 🧭

Ten years into a promise, Sarai ran out of patience. The plan she came up with wasn't reckless. It was culturally normal, practically reasonable, and it worked immediately, but it wasn’t God’s plan and that became immediately clear.

Hagar is the one who paid for it. She didn't design the arrangement. She had no say in it. She just found herself pregnant and despised, fleeing into the wilderness with nowhere to go.

That's where God showed up.

He doesn’t go first to Sarai or Abram; He goes to Hagar the Egyptian servant, the outsider, the one with no place in the covenant promise. God found her by a spring in the desert, called her by name, and asked: "Where have you come from, and where are you going?"

He already knew the answers. He asked anyway.

Hagar gave God a name no one else in Scripture had ever given Him. El Roi. The God who sees. She was genuinely astonished that the God of the universe would come looking for her. That He would notice her suffering. That He would be there at all.

But that is exactly who He is. Our God is the One who sees.

He sees the people who get caught in the wreckage of someone else's choices. He sees the wilderness you didn't ask to be in. He sees you when you feel like you're living on the margins of everyone else's story.

Genesis 16 is about what happens when we try to rush God's plan. But it's also about what God does next. He looking for the one nobody else was looking for.

Moses doesn't warn his people about the army they'll face. He doesn't warn them about drought, or famine, or any of the enemies waiting in the land. He warns them about something quieter. He says, "Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived."

Deceived doesn't mean to be ambushed. It doesn't mean to be overpowered. It means to be enticed. To be led along gradually. To be seduced, slowly, almost pleasantly, until you don't recognize where you are anymore.

Moses knew the land the Israelites were walking into was specifically designed to do this to them. The culture around them wasn't just going to be different from what God had called them to. It was going to be appealing. It was going to feel reasonable. It was going to work on them slowly, a little at a time, in ways that wouldn't feel like a crisis at any given moment.

That's what makes it dangerous. A crisis wakes you up, but "patah" doesn't.

We live in the most enticing moment in human history. The number of things competing for the center of our lives has never been higher. And most of them don't announce themselves as threats. They just offer a little. And then a little more.

Moses saw this coming. And his word to his people, before they walked into it, was: take heed to yourselves. Be vigilant. Because the greatest danger isn't what comes at you from the outside. It's what you give ground to, quietly, over time, without ever making a conscious decision to go there.

As Moses stands at the edge of the Promised Land preaching his final sermons, his warning was not about the armies waiting across the Jordan. It was about what Israel was planning to build on.

Moses knew the land of milk and honey was not empty. It was full of altars on every hilltop already established before Israel arrived. And he had watched enough of human nature to know exactly what his people would do. They would see the altars and decide to tolerate them.

The demolition order sounded extreme, so they would compromise. They would let some of the high places remain.

The books of Kings document what that concession cost them. Over and over, the same haunting formula: he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD... but the high places were not removed. Good kings who brought genuine reform, but the high places stayed. And the prophets pointed at those undemolished high places as the root of Israel's eventual collapse.

I have sat with that phrase all week. Because I think it describes most of us, most of the time.

We come to Jesus. We are baptized. We begin a real, genuine life of faith. And it is not nothing. But underneath, quietly, the old framework is still there. The old belief about what makes us valuable. The old reflex when we are afraid. The old thing we run to when life gets hard. We installed new cabinets in our kitchen renovation, but we never addressed the foundation.

The solution? Saturate your life with the Word of God.

He is not asking for a morning devotional. He is asking for a structure of God's truth so thoroughly woven into the fabric of real life that the old framework has no room left to quietly reassemble.

The house built on rock and the house built on sand look identical in good weather. The difference is invisible until the storm comes.

The question is not whether a storm is coming. The question is what is under your house right now.

06/07/2026

You can replace the cabinets, refinish the floors, and still be sitting on a foundation that's going to give. This Sunday in Deuteronomy, we're looking at Moses' final warning to Israel before they crossed the Jordan about the foundations they would use in the Promised Land, a warning Jesus repeats for us. What foundation will we build on?

Worship with us at 10:45am!
