The Christian life was never meant to be a solo sport. In Ephesians 4:16, Paul paints a picture of a church where every member contributes their own special work, and the result is a body that is healthy, growing, and full of love. That is the kind of church God designed us to be.

God has placed a gift inside every believer. Romans 12:6 reminds us that we have different gifts according to the grace given to each of us. Whether you are a servant, a teacher, an encourager, a giver, or a leader, your gift is not just for your personal enjoyment but for the communal good of the body of Christ.

If you have been on the sidelines, now is the time to step in. Little is much when God is in it. Join us and discover how God has wired you to make a difference right here in Mountain Home.

We asked our children's ministry team why they serve, here is what they said!

“from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭16‬ ‭

The Christian life was never meant to be a solo sport. God has placed something in you that someone else needs, and something in others that you need. That is not an accident -- it is by design.

Ephesians 4:16 reminds us that when each part of the body does its own special work, the whole church grows healthy, strong, and full of love. Your gift -- whether serving, teaching, giving, or encouraging -- matters more than you think. As Romans 12 makes clear, we are many members, but one body in Christ.

Do not discount what God has placed in your hands. Little is much when God is in it. The question is not whether you have something to offer -- you do. The question is whether you are willing to use it.

Join us as we continue our Resonate series and discover how Scripture shapes us into the people God designed us to be.

What does it look like to truly love God with everything you have? Deuteronomy 6 gives us one of Scripture's most powerful reminders -- that loving the Lord with all your heart, soul, and might is not accidental. It is intentional.

Moses knew God's people were forgetful. So are we. The greatest threat to our spiritual well-being is forgetting who God is and who He has called us to be. Christ does not want a piece of your life. He wants the whole thing.

The mundane moments -- the short car rides, the dinner table, the bedtime routine -- these are not interruptions to your spiritual life. They are your spiritual life. Redeem them.

God has no desire to take a back seat in our poorly prioritized lives. He is a jealous God who wants your full affection and attention. Live for Him on purpose.

What would it look like if God had the center of your life — not just a corner of it? This week we opened Deuteronomy 6 and sat with one of the most important reminders in all of Scripture: the greatest commandment to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and might (Deuteronomy 6:5).

Moses knew God's people were forgetful. And so are we. The greatest threat to our spiritual well-being is not opposition from the outside — it is forgetfulness from within. We do not accidentally obey God. We only ever obey on purpose.

Whether it is a short car ride, a meal together, or a bedtime conversation, the mundane moments of life are where faith is either passed on or quietly abandoned. God is not looking for a piece of your life. He wants all of it. He is a jealous God, and He has no desire to take a back seat.

"Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere." — Psalm 84:10

What does your soul truly long for? In this week's message from Psalm 84, we were reminded that the deepest joy, strength, and belonging we search for can only be found in one place — the presence of God. Not a building, not a program, but God himself.

The psalmist would trade a thousand days of everything the world offers for just one day with the Lord. That is not weakness. That is wisdom. And it is an invitation for all of us to examine what our hearts are actually chasing.

Whether your family has walked with God for generations or you are the first to turn toward him, the story can change with you. One generation deciding "as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord" can echo for eternity.
