Waynesboro FM Church Sermons

We often focus on the betrayal by Judas as the main theme of the Garden of Gethsemane, but John's account focuses on a deeper truth about Jesus. He emphasizes a particular trait in Jesus’ character, one we as His disciples will need in this increasingly hostile and consequential world: COURAGE.

Just before Jesus goes to the cross to offer up His life for us, He goes to the Father to pray for “those who believe in me through the [disciples] word.” Church… Jesus prayed for you, and His prayerful concerns were less about what we’d DO and more about who we’d BE. Come see what Jesus prayed that WE may be and prayerfully agree, “Your will be done." To support this ministry, visit www.waynesbor...

As Jesus’ disciples sent into this world that is still ruled over by the evil one, we face all kinds of threats to our faith and mission, most of which we don’t even see or know of. When Jesus was leaving, He prayed to His father for His disciples, making two requests to His Father that He has answered and still answers today: “Holy Father, protect them… sanctify them." To support this ministry, v...

This Easter, like every Easter, we celebrate the resurrection of Christ Jesus from the dead, but why? If rescue from sin and death were what we needed, didn’t Jesus accomplish that in His death on the cross? Wasn’t forgiveness for sin offered at Calvary? So why do we need the empty tomb? Is the resurrection of Jesus from the dead even necessary? God’s answer: By all means, YES! Find out how vital...

You know how it is: take only a few minutes to look at what’s going on around the world and your joy can quickly turn to sorrow, more deeply if you personally experience the sting that comes from the fallenness of creation. However, the one who is in Christ is given a guaranteed and unshakable promise from Jesus: "Your sorrow will turn to joy… and no one will take away your joy from you.” Why? Bec...

Along with the invitation from Jesus for us to receive the free love and forgiving grace of God, He issues us a warning: I have loved you… and the world will hate you.

It is the most unbelievable yet undeniable reality revealed by Jesus: God, the Maker of galaxies that take lightyears to traverse, the King who has at His command myriads of angel armies, the Designer of the genetic code, music theory, and mathematics… this God loves you.

At the end of the day, what is marriage for? Is it to find someone to grow old with together, to have someone to play pickleball with, or to get a better tax break filing jointly? Marriage comes with so many blessings, but its purpose is not its benefits. What can happen when your marriage exists for more? To support this ministry, visit www.waynesborofm.com/give

Marriages patterned after and powered by the Gospel are constantly threatened by forces that seek to spoil the intimacy and fruitfulness such a relationship enjoys.

When a man and a woman say “I Do” and covenant themselves entirely to one another, something natural and supernatural happens: two wonderfully designed, unique souls are mingled together and fused as one before both God and man, making “one flesh.” Discover what God says about how a husband and wife are to live as “one” in the Gospel.

Many of us don’t like our own words being repeated back to us; “You said…” often leads to criticisms, corrections, or reminders of failure. But there is One whose words are as pure as silver refined seven times over (Ps. 12:6), who delights to hear His words and promises repeated back to Him because they are so treasured and trusted by the one reminding Him of them. Those prayers we pray that deli...

Do you feel far from God? Does it seem He’s out of reach or not paying attention? One promise God has made is “When you seek me, you WILL find me when you seek me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13), elsewhere said, "Draw near to God, and he WILL draw near to you” (James 4:8). What is the chief expression of our seeking to draw near to God? PRAYER. Discover how prayer is the ultimate way of seek...

To start this New Year off rightly, we are dedicating ourselves to a season of prayer and fasting, hungering for faithfulness to and fruitfulness in our mission to LOVE GOD, LOVE PEOPLE, and MAKE DISCIPLES.

In this fallen world, branches than remain in the vine still have the capacity to grow in areas that are unnecessary, unhelpful, or unhealthy, and can hinder the growth of healthy and planned fruit.

What are you attempting to gain life from? We look down so many avenues, “try out” so many solutions, and connect to so many outlets that the world holds out to us shouting “Here’s life” when all it offers leaves us withering and fruitless. There is only one source of life that will last forever, one way that will catch you up in something and Someone much greater than your own existence, one powe...

There’s a heartbreaking experience we all experience at some point in life: the loss of a significant relationship, whether by tragedy, conflict, or a move. Jesus has told his disciples he is moving back to his Dad’s place; he’s leaving, and the disciples are going to lose their face-to-face relationship with their closest friend and Messiah. However, Jesus still promises their relationship with H...
