We’re a hot mess. Our church mission statement even reads, “We are a church full of authentic and imperfect people…” Most of the people you meet when you visit I AM Worship Church will be nice and friendly. But you need to know, before you come, that we are all a bunch of broken messes. We are real people who are not perfect. In fact, perfect people are not allowed. We’re a community of people who don’t have it all together, but are discovering what it means to find life in Jesus, to follow him fully, to break free from our past, and to walk in victory together. That’s who we are.

    "The Summons" - Pastor Mark Ogletree, 06/14/2026

    Pastor Mark's message challenges us to examine the difference between religious routine and genuine relationship with God. Drawing from Ephesians 1 and Jeremiah 7, we're confronted with an uncomfortable truth: it's entirely possible to be present in church, know all the worship songs, serve faithfully, and still be miles away from God's heart. The people in Jeremiah's day had turned the temple into a lucky charm, believing their attendance obligated God to bless them while their hearts remained unchanged. They chanted 'the temple of the Lord' as if the building itself could substitute for obedience and surrender. This isn't about diminishing the importance of gathering, giving, or serving. Rather, it's about understanding that these actions flow from relationship, not replace it. When we pursue God authentically, serving becomes joyful, giving becomes generous, and attending becomes life-giving. The invitation before us is to move beyond mere presence to passionate pursuit, to stop confusing our religious rhythms with relational intimacy. God doesn't want our perfect attendance; He wants our awakened hearts. He's knocking persistently, rising up early, calling us into something deeper than we've known, reminding us that we already possess an inheritance we may not even recognize. The question isn't whether God is moving, but whether we're truly listening and responding to His voice in the everyday moments of our lives.

    "SUMMONS: Don't Miss the Season" - Pastor Mark Ogletree, 06/07/2026

    Drawing from 2 Kings 2, Pastor Mark challenges us through the story of Elisha's pursuit of Elijah's mantle. The message centered on a critical question: "Are we truly present for what God is doing, or are we simply going through the motions?" We were reminded that there is a difference between being physically present and spiritually engaged. Just as many in Jerusalem celebrated Jesus without recognizing who He truly was, it is possible to attend church, participate in ministry, and still miss the divine moments God places before us. The message emphasizes that everything has a season, and wisdom is not only knowing the season we're in, but understanding what God requires of us during that season.

    "I Am Because He Is" - Pastor Mark Ogletree, Easter Sunday, 04/05/2026

    The Easter message from Pastor Mark, walks us through the final week of Jesus’ life—from His humble entrance into Jerusalem to His ultimate victory over death. We are reminded that Jesus didn’t come as a conquering king in the way people expected, but as a servant who gave His life for all of us. From betrayal and crucifixion to the empty tomb, every moment pointed to God’s incredible love and plan for redemption. The resurrection wasn’t just the end of the story—it was the moment everything changed.

    "Untying Potential" - Pastor Brooks Till, Palm Sunday, 03/29/26

    We were honored to have Pastor Brooks Till, the DYD for Tennessee Youth Ministries, as our guest minister. He brought a powerful message titled “Untying Potential,” drawing from the story of Jesus’ triumphal entry in the Gospel of Luke. Through the image of the colt that carried Jesus into Jerusalem, we were challenged to see ourselves in that story. Just like that donkey—tied up, unused, and seemingly ordinary—many of us have untapped potential that has yet to be released. Pastor Brooks reminded us that God isn’t looking for perfection or status—He’s looking for availability. When we allow God to untie us from fear, doubt, anxiety, or anything holding us back, we can become carriers of His presence.

    "From the Tree to the Table" - Pastor Mark Ogletree, 03/22/26

    Drawing from Luke 19:1–10, the story of Zacchaeus came to life as more than just a familiar Bible story—it became a picture of how Jesus meets us right where we are. Zacchaeus, a man rejected and overlooked by others, climbed a tree just to catch a glimpse of Jesus. Yet what he didn’t realize was that Jesus was already seeking him. In the same way, we are reminded that God sees us, knows us by name, and calls us not based on our past, but based on who we are becoming.

    "It's Not That Complicated" - Pastor Mark Ogletree, 03/15/2026

    Pastor Mark brings a message that reminds us of a powerful truth: following Jesus was never meant to be complicated. In a world where life often feels overwhelming—filled with busy schedules, pressures, and responsibilities—we are brought back to the simple yet life-changing foundations of the gospel. Jesus loves us exactly as we are. He died for all who believe. He rose from the dead, defeating sin and death forever. He can transform our lives with forgiveness, hope, and purpose. And He has prepared a place for us in heaven where pain and sorrow will no longer exist. These truths may be simple enough for a child to understand, but they carry the power to completely transform a life.

    Pastor Mark Honeycutt - 03/08/2026

    Pastor Mark Honeycutt preaches from Mark 4 and the Parable of the Sower, teaching that the real battle isn’t just about hearing God’s Word—it’s about retaining and activating it. He explains that Satan’s strategy isn’t to keep us from church, but to steal the Word once it’s planted in our hearts. The enemy does this by causing us to forget what we heard, distracting us during difficult seasons, or slowly choking out the Word through competing desires. The key to a fruitful life is simple but intentional: hear the Word, truly accept it so it changes how we think and live, and allow it to produce lasting fruit.
