Motion Church | Warrior Poet Society, Week 3: "The Downstream Effect of Sin" Happy Father's Day from Motion Church — "I think strong men are the backbone of any good society" — and then right into a tough but important topic in the David series: what happens after forgiveness. This week picks back up exactly where Nathan left off with David after the Bathsheba confrontation. Nathan didn't just say...

Motion Church | Warrior Poet Society, Week 2: "Lessons on the Lamb" Season two of the David series backtracks a bit this week — picking up not after the Bathsheba scandal, but earlier, when Saul is still king and wants David dead. "Not the kind of situation you want to find yourself in." Jealous and paranoid over David's growing popularity (there was literally a chorus about him: "Saul has slain h...

Motion Church | Warrior Poet Society, Week 1: "You Are the Man" Season two of the David series is here — and it picks up right where the last one left off, 15 months later. "King David, to me, is one of the most fascinating people in scripture because, man, his life had everything — the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, a man who genuinely loved God and failed God simultaneously." Last time...

Motion Church | Victor, Week 4: "I Get To" Closing out the Victor series, this week's message is delivered by Motion Church youth pastor Chris Johnson — "The Bishop" — and he's upfront from the jump: buckle up. "This is one of those sermons we are all gonna walk out here today with some hurt feet, myself included. My toes were stepped on consistently when I was writing this for the past two and a...

Motion Church | Victor, Week 3: "Eat Your Own Bread" Week 3 of the Victor series adds another layer to the conversation — and fair warning, this one's a little offensive. In the best way possible. After recapping the first two weeks — victims ask why, victors ask what; victims believe they control nothing, victors control what they can and trust God with the rest — this message dives into a third...

Motion Church | Victor, Week 2: "Control" Continuing the Victor series, this week zeroes in on one of the biggest differences between a victim mentality and a victor mentality: how each one thinks about control. The core truth up front: "Did you know that you can be the victim of a circumstance and still come out victorious?" The key is understanding what you do and don't have control over — and w...

Motion Church | Victor, Week 1: "Victory Question" Kicking off a brand-new series called Victor, this message starts with an honoring of two longtime leaders — including Motion Church's very first youth pastor, who began serving "16 years ago" and is, as Pastor Andy puts it, "still serving with all his heart." It's Mother's Day too, and Shelly gets her well-earned shoutout. Then into the heart of...

Motion Church | Walk, Week 4: "Meet in the Middle" Can you accept someone without approving of everything they do? This week's message — introduced through a "Name That Tune" country music bit — takes its title from an old 90s country song: "We meet in the middle of that old Georgia line... If we give a little, there's no road too long." The subtitle for today's message says it all: "understanding...

Motion Church | Sisterhood: "Locally Grown" "Welcome to the sisterhood, where we are gonna fill your cup up." This special women's gathering kicks off with a theme of "locally grown" — and a celebration of how women grow together in community, in faith, and in friendship. Tonight's big idea: "how can we locally grow as women in Christ together in community"? The answer comes down to one thing — sh...

Motion Church | Walk, Week 3: "Walk This Way (Not Like an Egyptian)" When you're sandwiched between an army and the sea, what does it look like to walk the path God has called you to? Continuing the Walk series — yes, the title is a nod to that 80s classic — this week heads back to the Old Testament for the story of the Exodus, where the children of Israel find themselves trapped: "they're between...

Motion Church | Walk, Week 2: "Walk This Way... At a Different Pace" What does it look like to walk through life with both purpose and compassion — at the same time? Continuing the Walk series, this week picks up right where we left off with Jacob, who "wrestled with God and he didn't kill me." That encounter left him with a limp — and a completely different way of walking through life. "Jacob had...

Motion Church | Walk — Week 1: "Walk This Way" One night. One wrestling match. One limp that changed everything. Motion Church kicks off a brand-new series called Walk — a multi-week journey through stories from Scripture that ask a simple but searching question: how are you walking? Not just with your feet, but with your life. "A walk doesn't just describe what you're doing. It describes who you...

Motion Church | Easter: "Does the Offer Still Stand?" What happens when you show up with an expired coupon? You already know the answer — and so does God. This Easter at Motion Church, we're looking at the Easter story through a slightly different lens: redemption. What does it really mean to be redeemed? And is the offer of salvation — purchased at the highest price imaginable — still available t...

White Flag Series | Week 4: All Out of Options — Motion Church Podcast This is it — the final week of the White Flag series, and it closes with perhaps the most relatable expression of surrender yet. Over the past four weeks we've looked at surrender from every angle. Week one: surrender costs something — namely, your rights. Week two: surrender gives something — rest for your soul. Week three: th...

White Flag Series | Week 3: White Flag or White Lie? — Motion Church Podcast This week in the White Flag series, we pause for the hardest question of the entire series. Not what surrender costs. Not what surrender gives. But something far more uncomfortable: Have you actually done it? This message, delivered by Pastor CJ, lands right in the middle of the series with a challenge most of us aren't r...

White Flag Series | Week 2: Get Yoked — Motion Church Podcast What if surrender isn't as hard as you've been making it? Week 2 of the White Flag series digs into what may be the most clear and freeing picture of surrender in all of Scripture — and the word "surrender" isn't even mentioned in the passage. Found in Matthew chapter 11, Jesus extends one of the most well-known invitations ever spoken:...

White Flag Series | Week 1: The Right Flag — Motion Church Podcast What does it actually mean to surrender? Most of us know the image — a white flag waved in defeat. But in Christianity, surrender isn't about losing. It's about finally, truly living. This week at Motion Church, we're kicking off a brand new series called White Flag, and it starts with one of the most countercultural ideas in the C...

Last week's experience was skipped due to an electrical outtage so no upload was available for it.  FYP Series | Week 2: Creativity — Motion Church Podcast What if the church had a "For You Page"? Not one designed to give you what you want — but one curated to give you what you need? That's the heart behind the FYP series at Motion Church. Building on the foundation laid in the Motion Is series —...

Motion Is… | Week 4: "Be" — Finding Your Identity in Christ The Motion Church Podcast In the final week of the Motion Is series, we wrap up our deep dive into the mission of Motion Church — to lead people to live and move and have their being in Jesus Christ. This week, we land on the most personal piece of it all: what does it mean to "be"? The answer starts with one question: Who are you? In a w...

Welcome to the Motion Church Podcast. This week, we continue our series Motion Is, and we’re stepping into a truth that has the power to redefine everything. Because at the end of the day, “one leads to death, one leads to life. We just want to lead people to life.” This message reminds us that following Jesus isn’t just about information — it’s about transformation. It’s about recognizing “the wa...
