Shay brought a word last night! 🔥
We were in John 15:1-8, where Jesus says that He is the true vine. The word “true” implies that there are also counterfeit vines. It is so important that we are aware of what bad vines are, and if we have them in our lives. If we aren’t producing good fruit, we need to check our vine because we are not connected to the right source, which is Jesus.
Do you feel disconnected? Is there something watering you that is not allowing you to abide and rest in Jesus?
Last night was awesome!! Keep checking here for updates for next week’s huddle!
Awesome night of prayer and a word from one of our staff members, Jason Stoker!
In John 11, before Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead, he says to Martha, “I am the resurrection and life,” then he speaks and Lazarus walks out of his grave.
Sometimes we forget that we have access to the exact same power that rose Lazarus from the dead!! If you believe that God has the power to fix what you are going through, you will be able to see His glory, and experience the abundant life that he desires for us to have. He can turn graves into gardens!! Keep pressing towards Jesus!!
Have a great week!!! 🤍
Last night was awesome!!!
We started the night off experiencing the Holy Spirit through worship and Bethany brought a great word!
In John 10, when Jesus said “I am the door,” He was claiming that He is the only access to the Father. When we choose to walk through this door, we are graced with a relationship with God, and we are also a part of the family of God. This is why Jesus came to the earth, died, and resurrected. So that we can have access to everything that our Father desires to give us- things like TRUE joy, love, and purpose.
He has opened the door, but have you chosen to walk into it? Have a great week!! 😁
@_jeremiahpierce_ brought a WORD last night 🔥🔥
In John 9:5, Jesus said that while He was in the world, He was the light. In Matthew 5:16, after Jesus has left the earth, it says that YOU are the light. The same light that Jesus claims He is, we are also- when we are in Christ. How incredible! The same power that lives in Jesus is the same power that lives inside of us. We have the opportunity to make an impact with the light that’s inside of us.
What are YOU doing with that light?
Jeremiah challenged us to make sure that we are using the light that we have been given to glorify our Father!
Last night we kicked off our “I am” series!
There are seven “I am” statements in the Bible, and each week we will dive deeper into one of those specific statements!
The question we were challenged with last night was
Who is Jesus to you? Who do YOU say that HE is?
Join us during this “I am” series so that you are confident in who Jesus is to you! 🔥🔥🔥
Last night we used the Discovery Bible Study method to dig into John 8:1-11. It was a great time of meditation and discussion!
The Discovery Bible Study method is a series of questions that helps you to be more intentional when reading a passage of scripture. Sometimes it may feel like we are just reading words on paper when reading the Bible, so this is a great tool to use to dig deeper!
We have this and SO many more resources for you on our FCA app!! You can find the app by clicking on “Hailstate Links” in our bio!!
Last night we discussed John 1:1-5, and it was SO GOOD!! 🔥🔥
We learned that in order to truly know our Father, we have to look at the Son. God shows His heart for us through Jesus’s life and what He did while He was on the earth!
We meditated on verse 5 that says “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.” As Christians, we have this LIGHT inside of us through the Holy Spirit!! Are you shining it?!
If Jesus is the light, how can we keep our eyes on Him in a world that teaches us to keep our eyes on ourselves??
Have a great rest of your week!! Keep your eyes on Jesus!! 😁
How incredible is it that we were literally created to be connected to Christ?!
Last night we learned that even though in Genesis it seems as if our connection to Christ was lost as a result of Adam and Eve’s sin, it WASN’T!!!!!!! The enemy is constantly trying to get in the way of the connection that we were created for, but because of what Christ did on the cross, we can walk in victory and intimate connection with the Father!
HE STILL LOVES & DESIRES US!! ❤️
Last night was awesome 👏👏 We can’t wait to see you next week!!!!!!
Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, the day in 1865 when the news of emancipation reached the enslaved African American people in Texas, marking a significant day.
This is a time to come together around Scripture’s command for unity. We encourage you to reflect together on Matthew 22:37-39: “He said to him, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and most important command. The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
Let us continue to pray for a spirit of unity and reflect on how God guides us to love our neighbors.
Monday night was fullness of joy and laughter! We always love coming together to celebrate all God is doing. We hope y’all continue to pray bold prayers for your teammates and athletic programs as you learn to intercede just like Jesus!
This is what we were made for!
Happy Wednesday and have an incredible week🥳
Happy Good Friday!
In just 3 days we will be celebrating the greatest news of the world, the resurrection of Jesus!
Have you ever wondered how the resurrection was even possible? We too know the struggle of this complex question. Listen to Scott as he brings a new perspective of what this even means! We have the same power that rose Jesus from the grave living inside of us! He saved us, man are we thankful for that🥳
”He said to them, “The Son of Man is destined to be betrayed and turned over to those who will execute him. But after three days he will rise again.”“
Mark 9:31 TPT
Big smiles because it’s almost Easter!!!
Not sure where to go to church this Sunday?
There are plenty of incredible local churches here in Starkville!
📍New Seasons, Pinelake, Vibrant (in Colombus), First Baptist Starkville, Starkville Church of God, and so many more!
Reach out if you aren’t sure where to go! We’d love to get you connected 🙌
Happy Wednesday people! Good news is here ✨
Monday night was awesome! Thankful for how God is our stronghold that we can trust and walk through life with! He promises to never leave us or forsake us.
Remember this truth as you finish out your week!🥳
”Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,“
Ephesians 3:20 NIV
”being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.“
Philippians 1:6 NIV
Monday night was a blast!
