Brody Holloway | SWO21 | Friday Night Every human being will eventually come face to face with the reality that Jesus is far more than a teacher or healer or prophet or human. Jesus is God. Jesus’ followers see this reality in Mark 4 and 5. The reality of Jesus’ godhood can be intimidating, and rightly so. His power and authority is terrifying to those who stand in its way. However, we see that Je...

Rob Conti | SWO21 | Thursday Morning God is the ancient of days. He has no beginning and no end. He is unlike anything else and He reigns in majesty and power. Jesus wants us to see that He is the Son of Man. That He is God. We worship Him because He is worthy of it.  Our hope, the King of the universe became one of us. He humbled Himself to die in our place.  We need to go and get busy building t...

Brody Holloway | SWO21 | Wednesday Night For the believer, everything that we do is to be to the glory of God. This includes our relationships with one another. Everything that we do should be an act of worship. This is the vital mindset that should govern all our decisions. Is God being glorified? Therefore, when it comes to our dating and relationships, let's not be consumed with “How far i...

Brody Holloway | SWO21 | Tuesday Night God is absolutely unchanging. He is unchanging in His Essence, His Attributes, and His Counsel. Even when aspects of God’s character seem at odds to each other, He is perfectly consistent and true to Himself.  For example, the Justice and Mercy of God may seem contradictory, but they are unified in the work of Jesus Christ. In Jesus, perfect justice is served...

Brody Holloway | SWO21 | Monday Night Brody opens SWO21 by teaching on the goodness of God. We are invited to not just know the goodness of God, but to taste it. This is an experiential knowledge of God that is open to all believers.  God’s goodness can be seen in His attributes of love, mercy, grace, and patience towards us. In Christ, we have received all of God’s goodness. As recipients of thes...

Spicy Ridenour | Respond Women's Retreat | Breakout Wisdom comes from the Lord. God gives us fruits of the Spirit so that we can know Him better—and so his glory will be shown. We are called to love our enemies, have joy in all things, and be thankful. His Spirit enables us to do these things well. In this session, Spicy Ridenour shared stories and examples from her life when she has seen the...

Zach Mabry | Respond Women's Retreat | Breakout Social media is a misrepresentation of the world we live in. It is teaching us what to think and how to think. We need to be on guard to not lose our Christianity when we log in online. You will be attacked for your faith, so don’t be surprised by that. But, if you’re being attacked online make sure it’s for the Gospel. Let’s be controlled by th...

Bethany Clark | Respond Women's Retreat | Breakout In this session, Bethany Clark walks through Colossians 1:1-14 where Paul admonishes the Church. The Colossians are not denying Christ but they’ve dethroned Him. False narratives often sound spiritual. We need to guard ourselves against accepting false doctrines over time. Bethany explains how that often happens in small degrees.  Paul prayed...

Amy Davis | Respond Women's Retreat | Breakout Our goal is for our kids to know Jesus. As moms, we should be striving to promote intentional Gospel-centered conversations with our kids. Normalize talking about Jesus in the home and build in reminders within your daily life that point them to the Lord. The Holy Spirit has empowered you to do this well. Resources Deuteronomy 6:5 Learn more abou...

Brody Holloway | Respond 2021 | Sunday Morning In this session, Brody walks through the life of Rahab and how the Lord saves her. Her story is a message of hope—in-tune with suffering.

He shows her how valuable she is through this miraculous rescue...

Bethany Clark | Respond Women's Retreat | Saturday Night Believers, you are called to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord. In today's session, Bethany walks through Colossians 1. Paul wrote to believers, encouraging them to continue to walk in the Spirit. Our hearts will deceive us. Guard yourself against falling off track and accepting the ways of the world.  God’s will for your life is...

Sarah Conti | Respond 2021 | Saturday Morning Fruits of the Spirit are evidence of our union with Christ. When you come to know the Lord, the Holy Spirit begins dwelling in you. The Spirit then guides you to produce fruit and make you look more like Christ. If we claim to be united with Christ, but see no fruit in our lives then we need to address it. In this Respond women’s session, Sarah Conti w...

Jennifer Jolly | Respond Women's Retreat | Friday Night What kind of soil are you offering to the Lord? At our recent women’s conference, Jennifer Jolly walks through Galatians 5 and the fruits of the Spirit. The fruit of the Spirit is the character sketch of Christ. The Holy Spirit in us halts the work of the flesh and the flesh stops the work of the Spirit. Believers, we need to be discipli...

Rob Conti | Christian School Retreat In Luke 9, Jesus lays out the terms for what it means to be a Christian. What we say about Jesus is important. What we think about Jesus is important. Our world is becoming more hostile toward Him every day. We can’t take the middle ground—you either follow Him or you don’t. He laid down His life for us and took on the wrath that we deserve. He calls us to deny...

Brody Holloway | Christian School Retreat Find your identity in Christ. He will set your life on the right trajectory. You’ll be good—no matter what happens. Determining who Christ is will determine who we are. In this session, Brody walks through 1 Peter 1 and discusses 5 truths about us held up by the resurrection of Jesus. You need to anchor yourself to something bigger than this world.  As Chr...

Brody Holloway | Christian School Retreat In today’s session, Brody discusses how you can be an asset in your community or at work—rather than a liability. Believers, we need to be more serious about our faith. 1 Samuel 16 reveals characteristics of David that point to godly leadership. David was skillful, prudent in speech, had a good presence, and people knew that the Lord was with him. The Lord...

Brody Holloway | Christian School Retreat The way you interact with the people around you is important. The way you live in your school or workplace matters. Let’s live our lives in light of the Gospel. In this session, Brody walks through 2 Samuel 23, discussing what we can learn from David’s actions. Care about others around you and take initiative to share the Gospel with them. Don’t waste your...

Brody Holloway | Christian School Retreat There is salvation in no one else apart from Christ. In this session, Brody walks through Acts 2 and discusses the exclusivity of following Christ. Jesus did signs and wonders on earth to point to the fact that He is God in the flesh. His work points to His authority.  This Jesus endured temptation and never sinned. He defeated sin and death. They killed H...

Rob Conti | Christian School Retreat Today, Rob walks through Philippians 2 and Isaiah 6, looking into the humility of Jesus. We are called to serve and love one another. This goes against the grain of our fallen nature. Christ gives us our example to do this. We were not made to be glorified but to glorify God through our lives. This is in opposition to our modern culture that celebrates exalting...

Zach Mabry | Christian School Retreat What is the Gospel? Sometimes we use Christian language without knowing what it means. Even in Christian environments we need to be reminded of the Gospel. During this session with a Christian school, Zach walked through 1 Corinthians 15 to study how Paul explained the Gospel. He preached the very message he received.  When Jesus saves you, He starts making yo...

Gar Bozeman | Christian School Retreat True faith will bear fruit. In this session, Gar walked through James 2 and discussed what true faith looks like. James teaches us that faith without works is dead. You can’t lean on your religion or church for salvation. Just because you have a knowledge of Jesus, doesn’t mean you possess saving faith. There must be evidence behind your faith. Don’t depend o...

Al Gilbert | Missions Conference 2021 | Saturday Night At the recent SWO Missions Conference, Al Gilbert walked through what being a disciple really looks like. Christ makes us into something entirely different—someone who resembles His character rather than our flesh. This doesn’t mean that you’ll be perfect or won’t ever make a mistake. "It’s about direction, not perfection." – Al Gilb...

Al Gilbert | Missions Conference 2021 | Saturday Morning You were put here to worship and know God, and to share the Gospel with those around us. In the same way, God has a plan for all the people in the world. In this session, Al Gilbert walked through God’s purpose to make His Gospel known throughout the world. The Gospel is not just for you. Jesus deserves to be worshipped by people from every...

Spencer Davis | Missions Conference 2021 | Friday Night Believers, we are called to take the Gospel to the ends of the Earth. Whether we go overseas or stay home we need to be sharing the Gospel. With this in mind, how can we prepare now? In this message, Spencer walks through why sharing the Gospel is so crucial to your walk with the Lord. We’ve been commanded to share. What are you going to do w...

Rob Conti | Be Strong Men's Conference | Sunday Morning The Lord has compassion on those who fear Him. Rather than giving us the punishment we deserve, He instead shows us grace and mercy for our sins. Today, Rob looks at Psalm 51 and what we can learn from David’s repentance. David commits adultery with Bathsheba and then has her husband, Uriah, killed in combat to cover up his sin. Any man...
