In our current series called It Is Well With My Soul, we are talking about being spiritually healthy by being mentally healthy. These two areas of our well-being occupy the same space. Your soul is your mind, will, and emotions, which is where mental health rests. You can’t be spiritually healthy and mentally unhealthy at the same time, so if you are going to say, “it is well with my soul,” you ha...

We are in a series called “It Is Well With My Soul.” As we have learned, a soul is made up of mind, will, and emotions. It’s our thoughts, feelings, and decisions. Proverbs 4 says to guard it above all things because all the issues of our lives are sourced in our souls, and it’s easy to see why. In this series, we have talked about the fact that our soul occupies the same space as our mental healt...

As we celebrate Father’s Day, we are continuing our series called It Is Well With My Soul. Your soul is your mind, your emotions, and your decision-making process. It occupies the same space as your mental health, so in order to say that it is well with your soul, you have to be able to say, “It is well with my mental health.” Can you say that? Are your thoughts positive and healthy? Are you emoti...

Last week, we began a new series called It Is Well With My Soul. Your soul is your mind, will, and emotions. Our Heavenly Father wants our souls to be healed, restored, rested, and guarded. Your spiritual health and mental health occupy the same space, so that means you cannot be spiritually healthy and mentally unhealthy at the same time. They are connected. Because of this fact, it’s time to be...

Your soul is vital, and sometimes, it needs to be reset back to factory settings. Psalm 23 says a good Shepherd has to occasionally lead you to a place where your soul can be restored, a place of green pastures, still waters, and lying down. Why does a soul need restoring? Because you may have to walk through seasons of grief, have people who hurt you or just generally get beat up by the trials of...

Most parents want their children to be able to chase their dreams, and they often do all they can to build a place of possibility for their kids to go and be successful. This week, we’re talking about what it means to create a home where anything is possible, but that goal comes with a positive version and a negative version. The Bible speaks to both. Scripture is full of advice for parents and ch...

In Acts 10:1-5, we read about a man named Cornelius. He was a righteous Gentile who loved God, prayed to Him and also gave to those in need. In describing Cornelius, the Bible uses a specific Greek term that only appears three times in the New Treatment. The verses say his prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a “memorial” before God — a word that is also used in Mark 14 and Matthew 26. As...

Life is beautiful and offers many great opportunities, but unfortunately, it also has the potential to cause hurt and pain. If we’re going to follow God and succeed, we need to understand the impact and influence of three things: faith, focus, and fear. This week, as part of our annual Graduation Recognition Service, Matt Carlisle — a member of the Covenant Life Student Ministry (CLSM) High School...

Mothers carry burdens that weigh heavily on their hearts, including worries about their family members, their finances, if they’re good enough, the past, the future, and more. We have to stop worrying about things that haven’t even happened yet — instead, we need to pray about it and give it to God. He never intended for us to carry these burdens alone; we have to let go of what we can't control,...

As Jews, members of the early church knew what the Old Testament said. They knew the law, the prophets and the symbols of the Holy Spirit we’ve talked about: water, fire, cloud, oil, and wind. They knew that He came upon people to empower them for serving the Lord and withdrew again. They knew that Joel prophesied that a time would come when the Spirit would be poured out on all flesh. Everything...

Church people talk about being Christians all the time. We talk about being followers of Jesus, but what does that actually mean? If we took the time to talk to 1,000 people at churches around the west Georgia area this morning and asked them what it looks like to follow Jesus, we’d probably hear things like going to church every week, not cussing or drinking, giving money in the offering, being r...

In Ezekiel 47:1-5, the prophet has a vision about a river flowing from the Temple that is believed to be a symbol of the Holy Spirit. In the vision, the river goes from ankle-deep to knee-deep to waist-deep, and then, it becomes deep enough to swim in. If you are truly saved, you are standing in the river. The will of God is for you to continue downstream, deeper and deeper, more and more surrende...

We are in a series called Holy Water, which is based on the description of the Holy Spirit in Ezekiel 47:1-5. Some people claim that God doesn’t interact with us in a supernatural way anymore; others accept anything done in the name of the Spirit at face value. Because of this, we have spent much of our time looking at how God still speaks, works, and saves through the Spirit. Throughout our serie...

It’s been 2,000 years since Jesus’s death, burial and resurrection, and the story has been told over and over. Because we celebrate Easter every year, it has the potential to become just another story if we’re not careful. We must remember that it’s not old news or some memory we carry. Jesus lived and died. He rose again, and He is still alive — and because of that, Easter is never really over. I...

Palm Sunday was a time of conflicting emotions, political and social dynamics, and the possibility of a coming Messiah. There was a lot of pressure on people, on the government and on Jesus. It’s no different for us today. If we are dealing with the pain and pressure of life, the best response is prayer, praise and worship. In this message from Corey Pearson, worship director at Covenant Life, we...

We are continuing our “Holy Water” series. Together, we have been exploring the person and ministry of the Holy Spirit, trying to de-mystify who He is, the ways He works and His place in our lives. Last week, we started talking about the things that the Spirit empowers believers to do after salvation, starting with a look at prayer. This week, we’re exploring how He gives power for proclamation. O...

We are in a series called Holy Water. The goal is to de-mystify the Holy Spirit and re-frame Him in your mind using scripture. This is important because there is so much unbiblical teaching and opinions about Him out there — some out of ignorance and some that is intentionally deceptive. So far, we’ve learned that the Holy Spirit is God, and He serves many important roles in the life of a believer...

We’re in the third week of a series called "Holy Water," which is all about walking slowly through the Bible to understand who the Holy Spirit is and how believers are to approach, understand, and interact with Him. So far, we’ve discovered that the Holy Spirit is just as much God as the Father and the Son, He has been revealing Himself since the beginning and He resurrects a person’s spirit when...

Last week, we started a new series called Holy Water. The purpose of this series is to walk slowly through the theological and practical realities of the Holy Spirit. In the first message, we established the doctrine of the Trinity and learned that the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead. We also talked about His names, His influence in the lives of believers and the many ways He reveal...

Last week, we concluded the Overflow series with a message about the Holy Spirit and the topic of the Trinity. With people of so many different upbringings and theological backgrounds attending Covenant Life, there are lot of teachings and assumptions floating around — and not all of them are true. It may seem odd, but in order to believe the Bible, there are quite a few things we have to unlearn....

Throughout the Overflow series, we have explored the idea that “what fills you reveals you.” The Bible teaches that things you are full of will overflow. This means that, if you want your life to overflow with the fullness and richness that Jesus died to give us, you have to make sure you are full of the right stuff. We have talked about being full of love, joy, and grace, and we have also talked...

Jesus said two things that have led to the Overflow Series. First, He said He came to give us a full and abundant life. This is in contrast to the killing, stealing, and destroying that the enemy does. Jesus wants you full of the life He died to give you. Second, Jesus said whatever is on the inside of you will eventually overflow into the outside. You can only get so full of something before it o...

This week, we are continuing the "Overflow Series," which is rooted in the premise that what is on the outside of a person — our words, actions, and attitudes — starts on the inside. To change the outside, you must start on the inside. This series encourages us to get full of the things God wants for us, allowing them to naturally flow out of us. In this message, Pastor John emphasizes that Jesus...

This week, Pastor John is delivering the annual State of the Church message, which he has been doing each year since he became the pastor of Covenant Life. This service invites us to look back at 2025 financial and attendance numbers, various spiritual growth metrics and other intangible things we sense God doing. Don’t worry — we’re not only talking about numbers and figures, and we’re not focuse...

In January 1984, President Ronald Reagan issued a presidential proclamation to create National Sanctity of Human Life Day, which is usually celebrated on the third Sunday of January. Each year, pastors and churches across the United States use this day to bring awareness to the attacks against human life through the abortion industry. Join us for a special presentation from Kenneth Aycock from Fam...
