Emmaus Church SC

This Sunday, we’re starting a new teaching series called Long Story, Short—an honest look at the big story the Bible tells, and why it still matters. Not just for understanding Scripture. But for understanding yourself. Your purpose. Your place in the world.

You’ve probably heard Psalm 23 at a funeral. But what if it’s not just about death—what if it’s meant to shape the way we live? This week, we’ll reclaim the psalm as a personal declaration:You are provided for, you are anchored in God’s care, your story is marked by mercy, and even in the valleys—you are not alone.

This Sunday we are wrapping our time in the stories about what happened after the resurrection by taking a look at the 2nd scene in the Emmaus story-at the table. It's a story about how we "see" Jesus on this side of Easter, the sort of community that can carry you through anything, and the power of an invitation.

Let’s be honest: faith on this side of Easter isn’t always easy. The world is a weird place. Faith can feel fuzzy. And hope? It can be hard to hold on to. If you’ve ever felt a little lost or let down, you’re in good company and you will want to be sure to join us as we dive into the story that our church takes its name from-The Emmaus Road story. No spoilers, but this story might just help you fi...

Doubts. You got any? If you are a person of faith, there's a good chance you do. Faith and doubt do go hand in hand and this Sunday we are going to talk about it. We will take a close look at the apostle Thomas and his encounter with the resurrected Jesus to learn how to have a healthier relationship with our doubts.

One whiff of something—a grill, the rain, cheap cologne—and boom, you’re back. A memory. A feeling. A moment you thought you forgot.-This Sunday we’re talking about a beach, a charcoal fire, and a conversation that changed everything. -It’s a story about guilt. About grace. About how to write a better ending. And maybe it’s a story you need to hear right now.

This Sunday might be Palm Sunday on the calendar, but we will be walking through the events of Friday during Jesus' final week. We call it Good Friday, but what's so good about it?

We have been walking through the last week of Jesus' life, one day at a time, during the season of Lent. This Sunday the drama gets cranked up to a 10 as we unpack Jesus' final meal with his disciples, Judas' betrayal, and what it all has to do with us. These next two Sundays will really prepare us to celebrate Easter for all that it means.

We are spending our Sunday mornings walking through the last week of Jesus life one day at a time. This week we will taking a closer look at Wednesday. There isn't much real estate given to Wednesday in the Gospels, but that doesn't mean it doesn't haven't something to say to us. Once we crawl inside of it, one of the things we will discover is an invitation to see the beauty in wh...

There are certain Bible passages that preachers love to avoid-you know, the ones that make people squirm, scratch their heads, or start Googling conspiracy theories. This Sunday we’re tackling one of them. On Tuesday of Jesus’ last week, he gives what is known as The Olivet Discource. It is also sometimes referred to as the little apocalypse.

Ever notice how a great ending can change the whole story? This Sunday, we are continuing our study of Jesus' last week and diving into a moment when tables were flipped and expectations were turned upside down. Curious? Come join us for a worship service where a provocative story invites us to see our own lives with fresh eyes.

This Sunday, we’re kicking off a six-week journey through the most important week in history—the final week of Jesus’ life. The Gospels move quickly through most of Jesus’ story, but when it comes to this last week, everything slows down. Why? Because it matters.

This Sunday, Pastor Nick is in the hot seat, answering the questions you sent in this week. It is sure to be an honest, open-handed conversation about faith, doubt, and everything in between.-Jesus answered about 8 questions in the Gospels but asked 307. So maybe faith isn’t about having all the right answers, but being willing to ask the questions.

We are convinced that the church is called to be a good neighbor to people who call their community home. This Sunday we are going to talk a bit about what that means in practice and spotlight some really incredible work that is being done in the Midlands.

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t starting—it’s staying. Staying when it’s slow. Staying when it’s hard. Staying when nothing seems to be changing. But what if freedom—real, lasting freedom—comes through showing up, day after day, and letting God do the deep work in us? This Sunday, we’re talking about staying the course—for the long haul.

What if the thing holding you back isn’t what’s happening now—but what happened then? We all have wounds—some so old we barely remember how they got there. But they still shape us, still drive our fears, still keep us stuck.-This Sunday, we’re talking about healing—the kind that doesn’t come from trying harder but from digging deeper.

We are spending our time on Sundays learning from the scriptures and leaning into the wisdom of the 12 steps in order to deal with our unhealthy attachments. This week we will work to try and understand why we do some of the things we do and what we are hoping these attachments will do for us. If you’re feeling stuck, weighed down, or like life isn’t quite clicking.

When these attachments go unchecked they have a way of making our life unmanageable, as they say in the recovery community. In this series we will learn from Jesus, and leverage the wisdom of the 12 steps to get freedom from our addicti...

Not only will we unpack this juicy encounter but we will also consider what it has to say about the relationship between Jesus, the Bible, and the church. This one's going to be spicy.
