In this powerful and reflective communion meditation and sermon, Pastor Danny Wolford brings the congregation into a deep moment of remembrance and spiritual reflection. He begins by reminding everyone of the solemnity and significance of the Lord’s Supper, drawing parallels to memorials such as the USS Arizona Memorial and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Pastor Danny emphasizes that communion is a time to remember the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, urging everyone to block out worldly distractions and focus solely on the remembrance of Christ’s body and blood, given for the forgiveness of sins. After a heartfelt prayer, Pastor Danny transitions seamlessly into his sermon, focusing on the theme of courage. He reflects on the previous weeks’ discussions on being connected, living with integrity, and embracing passion. Today, he challenges the congregation to explore what it means to live courageously in a world that often stands against Christian values. Drawing from the Book of Joshua, where God commands Joshua to be “strong and courageous,” Pastor Danny illustrates that true courage is essential for living out the Christian faith in today’s society. He paints vivid images of courage through the stories of firefighters, soldiers, and others who perform heroic acts, but he emphasizes that everyday courage is equally important. Pastor Danny delves into three practical ways to live courageously: owning up to one’s sins, standing up for what is right, and speaking up for Christ. He candidly discusses the challenges of admitting personal faults and sins, stressing the importance of authenticity and truth in the Christian life. He encourages the congregation to confront sin not just in their lives but also in the lives of those they love, even when it’s uncomfortable or difficult. In his second point, Pastor Danny tackles the modern-day challenge of standing up for what is right in a world that increasingly values tolerance over truth. He references scripture from Ezekiel, highlighting the responsibility Christians bear when they fail to speak out against wrongdoing. He reminds everyone that true love sometimes requires confrontation and that standing for truth often comes with a cost, such as criticism or strained relationships. Finally, Pastor Danny calls for boldness in sharing the gospel. He reassures those who feel inadequate or unprepared by emphasizing that sharing the good news is not about expertise or Bible knowledge but about love and a personal relationship with Christ. He urges the congregation to be bridge builders, creating connections with others so that Christ can work through them. Pastor Danny concludes with a call to action, encouraging everyone to pray for boldness, expect God to use them, and to remember that despite the trials and tribulations of this world, victory is assured in Christ. He challenges the congregation to draw a line in the sand, daring to be different and courageous in their faith, even when the world runs toward destruction. This sermon is a stirring reminder of the courage required to live a life that honors God, and it leaves the congregation with a renewed commitment to stand firm in their faith and make a difference in the world.

In this powerful continuation of the “Making a Difference” series, Pastor Danny Wolford dives into the critical role that passion plays in the life of a believer. This week’s message focuses on how passion is not just an emotion but a driving force that fuels our faith, our actions, and our ability to impact the world for Christ. Pastor Danny reminds us that without passion, our lives become dull and our efforts fruitless. Through an engaging exploration of Scripture, he emphasizes the need to rekindle our passion for God and His purposes. Key Points Covered: • What is Passion? Pastor Danny opens the sermon by defining passion as the impetus behind all great accomplishments—whether in art, science, sports, or faith. He explains that passion is what makes life vibrant and enables us to pursue God’s calling with our whole heart. • The Greatest Commandment: Drawing from Mark 12:30-31, Pastor Danny underscores the importance of loving God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. He emphasizes that this love must be wholehearted and passionate, not half-hearted or lukewarm. • Seven Passion Killers: Pastor Danny identifies seven key factors that can drain our passion for life and for God: 1. Unclear Purpose: Without a clear sense of purpose, life feels futile and uninspired. 2. Unemployed Talent: Failing to use our God-given talents leads to frustration and loss of enthusiasm. 3. Unbalanced Schedule: Overworking or underworking can sap our energy and passion. 4. Unconfessed Sin: Guilt from unconfessed sin weighs us down and diminishes our spiritual vitality. 5. Unresolved Conflict: Resentment, jealousy, and prolonged anger can drain our passion for life. 6. Unsupported Lifestyle: Loneliness and lack of community can make life feel burdensome and passionless. 7. Undernourished Spirit: A lack of spiritual nourishment leaves us spiritually weak and disconnected from God. • Restoring Your Passion: Pastor Danny offers practical steps for reigniting passion in your life, including staying connected to God, maintaining spiritual fitness, and embracing the supportive relationships within the body of Christ. • Call to Action: The sermon concludes with a passionate call for believers to renew their commitment to God and to live with fervor and enthusiasm. Pastor Danny challenges the congregation to respond to God’s call with the same zeal as the prophet Isaiah, ready to be sent out as difference-makers in the world.

Making a Difference: Danny recaps the previous week’s message on being a difference maker by letting one’s light shine, referencing Matthew 5:16. He emphasizes the importance of making a positive impact on others, even without a large platform. Using examples like doctors curing diseases and athletes like Simone Biles inspiring young girls, he illustrates how different people can make a difference in various ways. Living with Integrity: Danny introduces the concept of integrity, comparing it to the structural integrity of the Titanic. He explains that integrity involves living a unified and undivided life, not compartmentalizing different aspects such as work, home, and church. Integrity means being the same person in private and public life, reflecting God’s truth in all actions and thoughts. Why is Integrity Important? 1. Pleases God: Integrity pleases God because it reflects His absolute truth and honesty. Danny cites Proverbs 3:22, which states that the Lord hates twisted hearts but delights in those with integrity. God values integrity because it aligns with His nature and helps point others to Him. 2. Affects Others: Integrity influences those around us, particularly our families and communities. Danny references Proverbs 20:7, which highlights the blessing of honest lives to children, and Proverbs 11:11, which emphasizes the positive impact of good people on their cities. Living with integrity can inspire respect and trust from others. 3. Blesses Me: Danny discusses the personal benefits of living with integrity, such as smoother and more confident living. He quotes Proverbs 11:5-6, noting that moral character makes for smooth sailing, whereas a lack of integrity leads to a difficult life. Integrity provides confidence and eliminates the need to remember different stories for different people. How to Live with Integrity: 1. Speak the Truth: Always telling the truth is crucial for integrity. Danny cites Proverbs 12:22, which states that the Lord hates liars but is pleased with those who keep their word. He discusses the importance of honesty in relationships, referencing Ephesians 4:15, which encourages speaking the truth in love. 2. Stand for What’s Right: Standing for what is right, even when it is difficult, is essential for integrity. Danny highlights 2 Corinthians 13:8, which states that believers should stand for the truth at all times. He acknowledges the challenge of standing for truth in a society that often rejects absolute truth. 3. Stay Clean: Maintaining purity in mind, body, and motives is vital for integrity. Danny references Philippians 2:15, which encourages living clean and innocent lives in a crooked and perverse world. He uses the example of Noah, who was chosen by God for his integrity, to illustrate the importance of staying clean even when it is challenging. Practical Steps to Maintain Integrity: • Choose the Right Friends: Surrounding oneself with the right friends is crucial for maintaining integrity. Danny advises choosing friends who uplift rather than drag down, referencing 1 Corinthians 15:33, which warns that bad company corrupts good character. • Value Integrity Over Image: Danny cautions against prioritizing image over integrity. He emphasizes the importance of caring about the small details in life and being consistent in private and public actions. • Monitor Media Intake: Filtering what one allows into their mind is essential for integrity. Danny cites Psalm 101:2-3 and Proverbs 15:14 to highlight the importance of avoiding vile and vulgar content and seeking truth. Conclusion: Danny concludes by urging the congregation to commit to living with integrity and relying on God’s power to help them shine as lights in a dark world. He emphasizes that a life of integrity is not easy but is worth it and that true integrity comes from being plugged into God and letting His power guide one’s actions.

In this sermon, Danny began by expressing his gratitude for being back and shared a brief personal update, mentioning a busy week involving travel to Pigeon Forge, St. Louis, and Indiana. He then introduced the theme for the next five weeks: making a difference in the world by connecting with God. Danny illustrated the importance of staying connected to God using the analogy of a light bulb. He emphasized that just as a light bulb needs a power source to shine, we need to stay connected to God to make a difference. He referenced John 15:7, where Jesus promises that if we stay connected to Him, our prayers will be answered, but highlighted that this connection involves aligning with God’s will. He discussed the barriers to effective prayer and connection with God, such as trying to impress others or God, and relying on rituals instead of sincerity. He explained that prayer should be sincere, simple, and a genuine conversation with God, free from insincere cliches or public displays meant to impress others. Danny referenced Matthew 6:7-8 to caution against repetitive and insincere prayers and shared how Jesus taught the disciples to pray using the Lord’s Prayer. He broke down the Lord’s Prayer, emphasizing the need to acknowledge God, surrender our will to Him, trust Him for our daily needs, seek forgiveness, forgive others, and ask for protection from temptation. He stressed the importance of believing that God will answer our prayers, relying on God’s grace and our faith. Danny used the metaphor of an extension cord to illustrate that Jesus is our connection to God, enabling us to approach God’s throne with confidence. Danny concluded by encouraging the congregation to believe in God’s power and to take steps to connect with Him, even if they struggle with doubts. He prayed over the congregation, asking God to help them feel connected and to see prayer as a privilege rather than a duty. He ended the sermon by inviting everyone to reconnect with God and let their light shine brightly for all to see.

Join us for a powerful and inspiring sermon delivered by guest speaker Quinten Mullinax. In this heartfelt message, Quinten explores the profound nature of God’s love, drawing from various scriptures to highlight how it shapes our understanding and actions as believers. Key Points: 1. Misunderstanding of God’s Love: Quinten begins by addressing common misconceptions about God’s love, emphasizing that God is not just a figure of wrath and vengeance but a being whose very nature is rooted in love. This section challenges listeners to reconsider their perceptions and embrace a more holistic understanding of God’s character. 2. The Meaning of God’s Love: Delving into the true essence of God’s love, Quinten references several key scriptures, including: • 1 John 4:7-12: Illustrating that love comes from God and those who love are born of God and know God. • John 8:1-11: The story of Jesus and the woman caught in adultery, showcasing Jesus’ compassionate response that emphasizes love over condemnation. • Romans 5:8: Demonstrating God’s love for us even while we were still sinners, as Christ died for us. 3. The Multiplying of God’s Love: In the final point, Quinten emphasizes the importance of reflecting God’s love in our daily lives. He urges believers to love others as Jesus did, regardless of their sins, highlighting that the Gospel is not exclusive and that we are called to show love to everyone, just as Jesus showed love to us. Quinten also discusses contemporary issues, such as the reaction to the “He Gets Us” Super Bowl commercial, reflecting on how Christians should approach love and acceptance in today’s world. He challenges listeners to be true reflections of Christ’s love, not just in words but in actions, especially in a world that desperately needs it. Scripture References: • 1 John 4:7-12 • John 8:1-11 • Romans 5:8 • Romans 8:37-39 • John 3:16 • Ephesians 2:4-5 Closing Thoughts: Quinten’s message is a reminder of the unchanging nature of God’s love and its relevance in our lives today. He encourages us to let this love shine through us, making a tangible impact on those around us. This sermon is a refreshing call to embody the love of Christ in a world that often feels devoid of it. Listen to this impactful sermon and let it inspire you to live out God’s love in every aspect of your life.
