    Praise While You Wait | Pastor Greg Ford Sermon | One Church Columbus

    In this message, Pastor Greg Ford begins a new series through the book of Philippians, exploring how to navigate seasons of uncertainty, hardship, and crisis while maintaining faith in God. Through the life and experiences of the Apostle Paul, we see how faith can shape our perspective even when our circumstances are difficult. While imprisoned and uncertain of what his future would hold, Paul demonstrated a powerful example of gratitude, trust, and praise in the middle of adversity. This message explores the biblical practice of Todah, an expression of thanksgiving and praise, and how it challenges us to move our praise beyond the moment when our problems are resolved. Instead of waiting for the answer, the breakthrough, or the circumstances to change, we can choose to worship God while we're still waiting. Through Philippians 1 and 4, we discover how to find peace in uncertainty, trust God with our future, and remain faithful and fruitful even in difficult seasons. KEY SCRIPTURES: Philippians 1:3 Philippians 1:12-26 Philippians 4:12-13 Acts 16:22-34 Psalm 107:10-16 Psalm 35:17-18 Psalm 88:10-12 Whether you're facing a difficult season, waiting on an answer, navigating uncertainty, or simply wanting to grow in your faith, this message is an encouragement to keep trusting God. Your circumstances may not have changed yet, but you can still find reasons to praise Him in the middle of the waiting.

    God Still Sees You | Dionna Carter Sermon | One Church Columbus

    Have you ever wondered if God really sees you? Even when you look like you have everything together on the outside, you may be carrying pain, disappointment, unanswered prayers, or desires that no one else knows about. In this powerful message, we’re reminded that God sees beneath the surface, and our pain never makes us invisible to Him. Through the story of the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings 4, we discover what it means to trust God through disappointment, grief, uncertainty, and seasons when hope feels too painful. Even in the middle of a chaotic world, God is never too busy to see what is happening in your individual life. This message explores the tension between being grateful for what God has given us and still carrying deep desires, unanswered questions, and emotional pain. The Shunammite woman experienced the fulfillment of a promise from God, but she also faced unimaginable grief. Her story reminds us that being seen by God does not mean we will never experience suffering. It means that even in our suffering, we are not forgotten, abandoned, or invisible to Him. In this message, you'll discover: Why God sees the needs we struggle to put into words. How to trust God when unanswered prayers and disappointment make it difficult to hope. Why emotional distress does not mean you lack faith. How to bring your honest feelings, anger, grief, and questions to God. Why you can be grateful and content while still carrying deep longings. How prayer and Christian community can help carry us through seasons of grief. How to recognize the invisible needs of the people around you and become more intentional about praying for and supporting others. Whether you're walking through a difficult season, grieving a loss, struggling with unanswered prayers, navigating broken relationships, or simply wondering if God sees what you're going through, this message is a reminder that your pain has not made you invisible to God. You don't have to pretend you're okay to come to God. You can bring Him your honest questions, your disappointments, and the things you don't understand. And as a church family, we can learn to see beyond the surface, pray for one another, and carry each other's burdens. 📖 Scripture: 2 Kings 4:8–37 Watch this message from our guest speaker at One Church and be reminded that God sees you in every season, in your pain and in your joy, in your struggles and in your victories. You are not forgotten. If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs the reminder that God still sees them.

    Reaching The World | Pastor Greg Ford Sermon | One Church Columbus

    What does it take to change the world through the message of Jesus? In this message from the final week of our Focus series, Pastor Greg Ford explores how the early church spread the Gospel throughout the Roman Empire and what their example teaches us about living out the Great Commission today. In Matthew 28:19–20, Jesus commands His followers to go and make disciples of all nations. But reaching the world with the Gospel has never been just about sharing the right words. It’s about becoming people whose lives reflect the love, character, and humility of Jesus. Looking at the early church, Greg unpacks four qualities that helped Christianity spread in a world that often rejected its message: courage, compassion, humility, and patience. From caring for the vulnerable during the Antonine Plague to choosing humility over status and self-promotion, the first Christians demonstrated a radically different way to live. This message challenges us to consider how we can reach our own communities and the world around us by living out our faith in everyday decisions. How do we respond when following Jesus costs us something? Who needs our compassion? Where is God calling us to choose humility over recognition or patience over immediate results? As followers of Jesus, we are called to more than simply believing the Gospel. We are called to live it, embody it, and share it with the people around us. IN THIS MESSAGE: The Great Commission and our call to make disciples Why the message of a crucified Savior challenged the ancient world How the early church spread Christianity through courage and compassion What the early Christians teach us about serving vulnerable people Choosing humility over status, pride, and self-promotion Why patience is an important marker of spiritual maturity How to reach your community and the world with the love of Jesus Practical ways to live out your faith and make a lasting impact SCRIPTURE REFERENCES: Matthew 28:19–20 | Acts 1:8 | 1 Corinthians 1:23 | Deuteronomy 21:23 | Galatians 3:13 | Philippians 2:5–11 | 1 Peter 2:12 | 1 Corinthians 12 Whether you're exploring Christianity, growing in your faith, or looking for practical ways to share the Gospel, this message will challenge you to live with greater courage, compassion, humility, and patience. Watch, take a moment to reflect, and ask God how He is calling you to reach the world right where you are.

    Strengthening Our Community | Pastor Greg Ford Sermon | One Church Columbus

    What does it look like to build a strong, healthy, Christ-centered community? In this message, Greg Ford explores what the Bible teaches about strengthening the communities we are part of, both inside the church and in our everyday lives. Looking at the New Testament and the cultural world of the first century, Greg unpacks the difference between transactional relationships and the kind of deep, loving community Jesus calls His followers to build. A healthy Christian community is more than simply gathering in the same place. It is a community where people support one another, stay connected, celebrate one another, walk through difficult seasons together, and create space for healing. Greg walks through three important characteristics of a healthy, Christ-centered community: • Support: We carry one another’s burdens while also taking responsibility for our own lives. Galatians 6 shows us that both are necessary for a healthy community. • Connection: God did not create us for isolation. Jesus teaches that the way people recognize His followers is through the way we love one another. The quality of our relationships can become one of our greatest witnesses to the world. • Healing: Healthy community creates a safe place for vulnerability, prayer, confession, and restoration. James 5 reminds us that healing happens within relationships where people can bring what is broken into the light. Greg also challenges us to consider whether we are willing to go deeper in our relationships instead of constantly looking for an escape whenever things get difficult. As our world becomes increasingly connected technologically, genuine community can still be difficult to find. The church is called to be different: a people who love, support, honor, and walk with one another. Whether you're looking for Christian community, struggling with loneliness, trying to find connection at church, walking through a difficult season, or simply wanting to grow deeper in your relationships, this message offers a biblical vision for what healthy community can look like. Watch the full message and consider where God may be calling you to receive support, build deeper connections, or become a source of healing and support for someone else.

    How Is A Community Built | Pastor Greg Ford Sermon | One Church Columbus

    What does it look like to finish strong? In Nehemiah 3, we see a group of ordinary people come together to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. They weren't professional builders. They were priests, leaders, merchants, craftsmen, families, and everyday people who each chose to do their part. Some went above and beyond, while others refused to participate because they felt the work was beneath them. In this message from the Finish Strong series, we look at what Nehemiah 3 teaches us about serving, leadership, generosity, faith in action, and the importance of being part of a community. The wall was more than a physical structure. As each person worked next to the next, the work itself became "community mortar." What they were building physically was also building them spiritually. This message challenges us to ask some important questions: Are we willing to do our part? Are we willing to serve when the work isn't glamorous? Are we willing to go above and beyond when God calls us to? And are we allowing God to use the tangible things we have, including our time, resources, gifts, and abilities, to accomplish something bigger than ourselves?

    Hand Eye Coordination | Pastor Brady Black Sermon | One Church Columbus

    What does hand-eye coordination have to do with following Jesus? In this powerful message, Pastor Brady Black explores what it means to function as the Body of Christ and why every person has a unique and indispensable role in God’s Kingdom. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 12, we are reminded that the church is made up of many different parts, but we are all one body, working together toward the same goal: Jesus. Through a football illustration, Pastor Brady shows how something as simple as catching a ball requires the entire body to work together. In the same way, the church needs every person to be activated, aligned, and willing to play their part. This message challenges us to confront two major hurdles: “How can God use me?” and “How can God use them?” Your value isn’t determined by your visibility, position, experience, age, or recognition. What may seem insignificant or unseen can be indispensable in the Kingdom of God. God has intentionally placed gifts, purpose, and value within each of us, and He wants to use us both inside and outside the church. Pastor Brady also challenges us to rethink how we view the next generation. Instead of pushing young people to the sidelines until they are older or more experienced, we can make room for them to lead, serve, grow, and be used by God right now. At the same time, the next generation needs adults who will mentor them, encourage them, and help them cross the finish line God has placed before them. Finally, we are reminded of what it means to be a healthy Body of Christ. When one person suffers, we all suffer. When one person is honored, we all rejoice. We are called to notice people, care for one another, carry one another’s burdens, and activate our faith by stepping into the needs around us. Key Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 12:12-25 1 Timothy 4:12 In this message: • The Body of Christ and unity • Finding your value in God’s Kingdom • Why visibility doesn’t determine value • Discovering how God can use you • Serving and activating your gifts • The importance of every person in the church • Empowering the next generation • Mentoring and investing in young people • Caring for people who are hurting • Living as a healthy Body of Christ • Alignment, collaboration, and shared purpose • Following Jesus beyond the walls of the church Whether you feel overlooked, unqualified, unseen, or unsure of how God could use you, this message is a reminder that you are valuable, you have a part to play, and the Body of Christ needs you.

    Salvation + The Law | Pastor Greg Ford Sermon | One Church Columbus

    What does the story of the Exodus have to do with the Gospel of Jesus? In this message, Pastor Greg Ford continues the conversation around the question, “Who is Yahweh?” and explores the powerful connection between the Old Testament story of Israel’s deliverance from Egypt and the New Testament story of salvation through Jesus. Throughout Scripture, we see a consistent pattern: God saves before He instructs. Grace comes before truth. Salvation comes before law. Israel was trapped in bondage in Egypt, and God heard their cry, saw their suffering, and delivered them. Their salvation was not based on their performance, their obedience, or their ability to keep the law. God rescued them first, brought them into relationship with Himself, and then gave them instruction for how to live. Pastor Greg walks through this same pattern in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus, whose name means “Yahweh saves,” came to seek and save the lost. Through Jesus, we are not only saved from sin, but brought into relationship with God, adopted as His children, and formed into people who reflect His character. This message explores: • Why salvation comes before law • How the Exodus story points toward Jesus • The meaning of Yahweh and “Yahweh saves” • Grace before truth and why that matters • What it means to be adopted into God’s family • Why God’s commands are about how we treat one another • How Jesus fulfilled the law through love • Why conduct and spiritual formation still matter • How God forms us to become more like Him • Why we should never forget where we came from • How being rescued by God should change the way we treat others • What it means to live as an image-bearer of God in the world God did not rescue Israel from Pharaoh so they could become Pharaoh to someone else. In the same way, when God rescues us, He forms us into people who use whatever influence, freedom, and power we have to love others, serve others, and reflect His character. Jesus says, “Love each other as I have loved you.” Our salvation is not the end of the story. God saves us, brings us into relationship, teaches us His ways, and continues to transform us into the people He created us to be. If you are wondering who Yahweh is, what salvation really means, how the Old and New Testaments connect, or what it looks like to follow Jesus beyond simply knowing the rules, this message will help you see the story of Scripture in a whole new way. Watch the full message and discover what it means to be saved, brought into relationship with God, instructed by His truth, and formed into His image.

    Who Is Yahweh | Pastor Greg Ford Sermon | One Church Columbus

    Who is Yahweh? What is God really like, and how should knowing Him change the way we live? In this message, Pastor Greg Ford takes us into Exodus 5 and the story of Moses, Pharaoh, and the people of Israel to uncover a powerful picture of the character of God. When Pharaoh asks, “Who is Yahweh?” the question becomes a thread running throughout the story of Exodus and ultimately points us toward the heart of who God is. Through the contrast between Pharaoh and Yahweh, we see two completely different ways of viewing people, power, purpose, and leadership. Pharaoh sees people through the lens of productivity, usefulness, and what they can accomplish for him. Yahweh sees people, hears their cries, remembers His covenant, and knows them deeply. The Hebrew word “yada” helps reveal the difference. Knowing God is not simply having information about Him. It is relational. It is knowing and being known, understanding, connecting, and responding to who God has revealed Himself to be. Pastor Greg also introduces a simple framework for engaging Scripture: revelation and response. As God reveals Himself through His Word, we are invited to ask, “What am I learning about God?” and then, “How should I respond?” Scripture is not meant to simply give us more information or temporarily inspire us. God’s Word is meant to lead us toward transformation. As the story of Exodus unfolds, the plagues reveal the power of Yahweh and expose the limitations of Pharaoh’s power. God is not distant from human suffering. He is the God who hears the cry, sees His people, remembers His covenant, and moves toward those who are in bondage. And ultimately, the question “Who is Yahweh?” finds its fullest answer in Jesus. If you want to know what God is like, look at Jesus. He is the God who comes near, who cares, who saves, who leads us out of bondage, and who invites us not only to receive Him as Savior but to follow Him as Lord. This message challenges us to examine our own hearts. Are there places where we have developed a “Pharaoh mentality,” seeing people only for what they can do for us? Have we become hardened to what God is trying to reveal? Are we willing to respond when the Holy Spirit speaks? God hears your cry. God knows you. God sees you. And He invites you to know Him.
