Fight to stay faithful.  Listen to this podcast episode about the Bible...

Marriage Conference | Spencer Davis | Sunday Morning Satan hates marriage. If we think that he is inactive, then he has the upper hand. He seeks to destroy our marriages and will use lies to do it.

In this session, Spencer Davis walks through Ephesians 6 and numbers 8 lies we tend to believe about marriage. ...

Marriage Conference | Rob Conti | Saturday Night What should the aim of our marriages be? God’s desire for us as believers is to be made holy and become more like Him. We’re to aid in making our spouse holy. We need to learn to look at each other through the lens of the Gospel. Christ calls us to be holy and blameless. Is that how you see your spouse? Your marriage is worth fighting for. Let’s ser...

Let’s love one another, bear with one another, and be eager to maintain unity in our marriages. “You’r...

Marriage Conference | Jon Rouleau | Sunday Morning Jesus is coming and we need to be ready. While we’re waiting, we need to be diligent to pursue Christ and holiness. In 2 Peter 3, Peter speaks of the coming of the Lord and how we are to be at peace in our waiting. Peace is not a feeling. Nor is it found in our circumstances. It's found in Christ.  Let’s guard against those who twist Scriptur...

Fall Retreat | Spencer Davis | Saturday Morning Jesus is coming back. The prophets said He would and Jesus Himself spoke of His own return.

Let’s be diligent to share the Gospel with those around us and look forward to eternal life with Ch...

Fall Retreat | Brody Holloway | Friday Night Jesus Christ has the power to save. In 2 Peter 1, Peter encourages the Church and believers to constantly be pursuing the Lord. We need to intentionally remind ourselves of the Gospel daily. We need to stir up our faith or we will become unfruitful, ineffective Christians. If you’re in Christ, you’re stirred up through reading and meditating on his Word...

Be Strong | Brody Holloway | Sunday Morning We can be challenged and motivated by the life of Jonathan. In 1 Samuel 14, we see him portrayed as a type of Christ. The Lord used Jonathan in a mighty way during his time. But, Jesus is the one who saves, rescues, and brings victory to His people. Jonathan’s faith is simple.  We need to act with the same, simple obedience. Let’s look at the trouble of...

Be Strong | Rob Conti | Saturday Night In 2 Samuel 17, David grieves the death of Saul and Jonathan.  In this session, Rob walks through David’s lament. His personal grief was poured out to the Lord. We were made to know and love God forever, but many of us have felt the sting of death. We cannot save ourselves.  David had no power to rescue Jonathan, but Jesus has full power to rescue you. Jesus...

Be Strong | Zach Mabry | Breakout We each have a responsibility to do our part in the body of Christ.  If we’re not doing our job, and pursuing our personal holiness, the whole body suffers. Let’s take ownership of our own sanctification. If you want to be godly, then train yourself for godliness. You have an opportunity to show your kids what a godly dad looks like. And, other young men need an e...

Be Strong | Shawn Clark | Breakout Christians, we were made for community.  The Lord uses the body of Christ to minister to one another. In this breakout, Shawn Clark explains how we’re to minister to the body better and help those around us.  We can’t live this life alone. The Lord designed us to experience help through the church. We need to ask for help and walk in humility. Let’s follow Christ...

Be Strong | Hank Parker Jr. | Breakout What does it look like to be a Gospel-driven man?  In this breakout, Hank Parker Jr. walks through how to be Gospel-driven men. It is easy in ministry to become so familiar with the Gospel that we lose sight of its magnitude. There is nothing else in this world worth pouring our lives out for. We are undeserving recipients of God’s grace. In His goodness, He...

Be Strong | Rob Conti | Breakout We know the dangers of sexual temptation. We must always be on guard. In today's world, we are surrounded by distractions that will pull us away from the Lord.  We have all fallen short but the grace of God is bigger than our sins.  As believers, we don't have the option to continue walking in our sin. Our only option is to receive grace and keep fighting...

Be Strong | Jon Rouleau | Saturday Morning T​​he Church needs brothers.  The richness of biblical community makes a difference in your walk with the Lord. Jonathan and David were both warriors and leaders who were passionate about the Lord. Both men were willing to risk their lives for the Kingdom. So, what can we learn from the brotherhood between Jonathan and David? You will find deep brotherhoo...

Be Strong | Spencer Davis | Friday Night What can we learn from the life of Jonathan?  In this session, Spencer walks through the life of Jonathan and shows how we can learn from his obedience. While Saul had some obedient moments, he would obey late or partially.  Jonathan stayed aggressively obedient to the Lord and fiercely loyal to David.  Men, you will be remembered for what you do, not what...

SWO22 | Brody Holloway | Saturday Night How can we finish the Christian faith strong?  In 2 Timothy 4, we read Paul’s last words in Scripture. Paul was facing death by execution and he still kept the faith until the end. Paul fought faithfully. Being faithful produces and drives consistency.  Let’s be aware of what we’re fighting against. Pagan ideology, legalism, false teaching, comfort, etc. We’...

SWO22 | Rob Conti | Breakout As ministers of the Gospel, we aim to teach Truth and sound doctrine.  From every text in Scripture, there is a road to Christ. When we approach teaching a passage of Scripture, we need to ask ourselves, “How does this passage exalt Christ?” It is not by our creative ability that we are to see the Gospel in a passage but should be our faithful work to find the Gospel i...

Youth Ministry Conference | Jon Rouleau | Breakout Today, there is a rejection of truth and an elevation of narrative.  Culture is shifting because of social media and it is pulling people away from God. Culture has changed and is going to keep changing. How can we, as Youth Leaders, prepare our students to stand firm in their faith for a post Christian world?  How can we shape our students to be...

Youth Ministry Conference | Zach Mabry | Breakout In student ministry, we are primarily teachers, and our primary text is the Word of God.

In light of that, we are going to focus this session on some general principles in preaching and teaching the Bible. Learn more about our studen...

SWO22 | Steve Brooks | Breakout Are you leading your ministry from freedom or bondage?  Are you leading from God, or for God?  When we lead from bondage, we will hurt those around us. This breakout offers practical handholds to move from fear to freedom as a Youth Leader. Steve Brooks has been the Youth Pastor at Hillside UMC for 25 years. He has brought his student ministry to Snowbird since 1998...

SWO22 | Mark Coppenger | Saturday Morning What has God blessed you to do?  Our culture today has made an idol out of “career.” Mark Coppenger has served as a pastor, professor, short-term missionary, family-man and many other things in his 74 years of life. Mark spoke from Psalm 22 and discussed balancing work and leisure.  There is a lot to be said about being disciplined. Your career is just the...

SWO22 | Brody Holloway | Friday Night Believer, you will finish the Christian life well — by running well today.  Paul is an example to us of someone who finished the race well.

Your ministry is not about you,...
