    Unshakable Confidence | April 5th, 2026 | Pastor Will Hawk

    We chase confidence in all the wrong places, then wonder why fear keeps winning when life gets hard. We open Hebrews 10 to see how the finished work of Jesus and the resurrection create a clean conscience, steady hope, and a community that helps us hold on.  • why Easter confidence is built for dark days  • welcoming the seasoned churchgoer, the seeker and the skeptic  • what Hebrews means by confidence through the blood of Jesus  • defining sin as missing the mark  • the three default moves: ignoring sin, outperforming others and trying to pay for it  • why endless religious effort is exhausting and cannot erase guilt  • the jet ski story as a picture of self-reliance and suffering  • “it is finished” as the foundation for assurance  • drawing near with honesty plus full assurance  • holding fast because Jesus is faithful even when we are not  • stirring one another up through encouragement, love, good works and meeting together  Grab one of the cards that’s in front of you. It’ll give you a chance to jot down a prayer. It’ll give you a chance to meet with the pastor, receive prayer. There will be a number of us praying on the back porch if you want to join us.  If you want to learn more about the MidTree story or connect with us, go to our website HERE or text us at 812-MID-TREE.

    Paul’s Final Greetings Show What Real Christianity Looks Like | Thomas Grocki | March 29th, 2026

    The last lines of Colossians look like a throwaway list of names until you realize Paul is doing something intentional: he’s putting faces to the gospel. We walk through Colossians 4:7–18 like end credits, showing how Christian doctrine becomes a lived, shared reality through people who serve, encourage, pray, forgive, and keep going when it costs them. We talk about Onesimus, a runaway slave who meets Jesus and then walks straight back into the hardest conversation of his life as a “beloved brother.” We trace Mark’s arc from quitting and causing a painful split to being welcomed again as “useful,” a concrete picture of forgiveness without an asterisk. We don’t skip the quiet hero, Nympha, who hosts a church in her home, reminding us that faithfulness in ordinary work is still worship. The tone sharpens with Demas, who starts near Paul and later deserts him “in love with this present world.” That warning leads into Epaphras’ prayer for spiritual maturity and full assurance in the will of God, plus a clear, grounding answer to the question “What is the chief end of man?” To glorify God and enjoy Him forever, learning to delight in Him instead of using Him. If you want to grow, encourage others, and finish well, this one is for you. If you want to learn more about the MidTree story or connect with us, go to our website HERE or text us at 812-MID-TREE.

    GOD'S BLUEPRINT FOR BUILDING A HOME | Pastor Will Hawk | March 15th, 2026

    We open Colossians 3:18–4:1 and let God’s design for a household confront our instincts, our excuses, and our scorekeeping. We keep returning to the same aim: serve the Lord Christ first, and let that reshape marriage, parenting, work, and the way we use authority. • why this passage creates tension for every role in the room  • the hierarchy of a godly household as an aspiration, not a weapon  • why this is about household order more than a generic gender debate  • God’s design confronting what culture calls sensible  • service replacing scorekeeping and moving Jesus back to the center  • why Scripture starts with service before authority  • wives submitting in the Lord with safeguards and humility  • husbands loving without harshness and using truth with rejoicing  • a real-life look at how tone changes hard conversations  • encouragement for singles, divorced, and widowed to rejoice in Christ’s faithful love  • children obeying because it pleases the Lord  • fathers disciplining without provoking, vexing, or discouraging  • bondservants and masters as a complex relationship under a higher Master  • the Exodus 21 image of pierced belonging pointing to the cross and a new family If you want to learn more about the MidTree story or connect with us, go to our website HERE or text us at 812-MID-TREE.

    Forgiveness, Harmony, And The Christian Life | Pastor Will Hawk | March 8th, 2026

    The moment we stop treating Colossians 3 like a checklist and start wearing it like a robe, everything changes. We open with the text—compassion, kindness, humility, patience, forgiveness, love—and name the tension: these can feel like smoke in the eyes or like warmth by the fire. From there we walk the path Paul lays out, moving from “put to death” to “put on,” from battle to belonging, and we talk candidly about what happens when grievance sets up camp in the heart. We share why “Do I forgive?” is the wrong question and how “How do I forgive?” becomes a doorway to freedom. Drawing on Jesus’ parable of canceled debts, we confront our quiet desire to be “small sinners” and discover the joy of being greatly forgiven. We also get practical about pace and posture: letting the peace of Christ rule looks like moving slower, talking less, and resisting the urge to fix everyone else. The only thing we’re called to control is ourselves, and that self-control reframes when to correct and when to wait, choosing the good of others over the itch to be right. Harmony doesn’t come from sameness; it grows where love binds differences. We explore how a community can teach, admonish, and still sing together without fracturing—because gratitude keeps the heart soft and the word of Christ keeps it steady. Along the way we touch on worship nostalgia, why restraint is a form of wisdom, and how a simple pause at the door—asking God to let peace rule—can transform a home, a team, or a church. If you’re tired of carrying old wars into new rooms, this study invites you to lay them down and live clothed in Christ’s righteousness.

    Finding Life In Christ | Pastor Will Hawk | March 1st, 2026

    What if your most disciplined efforts still can’t touch the root of your struggle? We open Colossians 3 and confront two convincing counterfeits: the treadmill of strict rule keeping and the treadmill of frantic escape. Both have an appearance of wisdom. Neither can kill sin. The gospel offers a better way—run to Christ, not away from failure or toward performance. We walk through Paul’s freeing order: you have died with Christ, your life is hidden with Christ in God, and you will appear with him in glory. That sequence reshapes how we fight sin, moving us from white-knuckle “stop that” to worshipful “seek this.” From there we face the hard list—sexual immorality, impurity, evil desire, covetousness—and the everyday poisons of anger, malice, slander, obscene talk, and lying. Rather than tolerating a “manageable” level, we learn what it means to put sin to death and to put on the new self that is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its Creator. You’ll hear a practical, two-minute framework to retrain your thoughts using Philippians 4:8: name the dominant thought, test it through true-honorable-just-pure-lovely-commendable-excellent-praiseworthy, replace it with Scripture, and take one concrete step of obedience. We apply it to jealousy, anxiety, and lust—with Scripture-shaped sentences and next steps that shift your focus from running from sin to running toward Christ. Along the way, we celebrate the unity of the body where labels fade and “Christ is all and in all,” and we anchor the whole journey in communion, where we receive what we cannot produce: forgiveness, power, and presence.

    Freedom From Legalism | Pastor Will Hawk | February 22nd, 2026

    Legalism creeps in wearing the mask of spiritual ambition. We take on extra rules, elevate our preferences, and forget that Paul calls them shadows while the substance is Christ. Today we sit with Colossians 2 and let its sharp “therefore” reframe everything: don’t let anyone judge you on food, drink, or special days; don’t let anyone disqualify you with ascetic flexes, angel talk, or breathless visions. The gospel cancels the record of debt, disarms rulers, and places you on a podium you did not earn—so stop letting secondary standards steal your joy. We trace how this plays out on the ground. From Peter and John’s calm defiance in Acts 4 to Jesus’ teaching on fasting with the Bridegroom present, we see that wisdom is good, but “Jesus plus” is deadly. Loud voices often rise where Scripture stays quiet; that’s our cue to raise antennas, not new rules. We name the modern list—hair, diets, school choices, entertainment, frequency of communion—and show how majoring on minors wrecks churches, marriages, and friendships. Then we anchor in a picture you won’t forget: two high jumpers choosing two golds. Your gold doesn’t dim because someone else has one; grace multiplies without dividing.

    Buried And Raised With Christ | Thomas Grocki | February 15th, 2026

    A strange question opens a surprising door: why was Jesus baptized if he had no sin? We take that question straight into Colossians 2:11–15 and uncover the heartbeat of the Christian life—union with Christ. Not a slogan, not a side note, but the reality that relocates us into Jesus’ death and resurrection, where our record of debt is canceled and the powers that shamed us are put to open shame. We trace three vivid pictures that make union tangible. First, representation: like David defeating Goliath for Israel, Christ wins and we share the victory. Second, marriage: two become one, and Paul says this mystery points to Jesus and his people—real attachment, not mere agreement. Third, adoption: a Father who delights to give, teaching our anxious hearts to stop storing scraps and trust his table. These images carry us to two signs—spiritual circumcision that marks our belonging to Christ, and baptism that proclaims we are buried with him and raised to new life. Along the way, we press into the engine of it all: through faith, not works. Faith joins us to the righteousness of Another. That changes everything. Penalty is gone because our debt was nailed to the cross. Power is broken because Christ disarmed rulers and authorities. The battlefield that once terrified us becomes ground for courage and joy. Baptism isn’t a box to check; it’s a living map for discipleship—down into death to the old self, up into the newness of life by the Spirit.

    Rooted And Built Up | Pastor Will Hawk | February 8th, 2026

    What if the most dangerous ideas aren’t the obvious lies but the ones that feel like common sense? We walk through Colossians 2 to expose the “plausible arguments” that quietly drain spiritual life, then rebuild on a better foundation: receiving Christ, walking in his Spirit, and abounding in thanksgiving. Along the way, we unpack Paul’s twin qualifiers for a healthy walk—rooted and built up—and why truth without love feels like a threat while love without truth collapses under pressure. We get practical about discernment in a world of experts and 38‑second reels. From the “elemental spirits” of the age to human traditions and slick self-improvement scripts, not everything is false, but the center matters. Instead of treating your soul like a device due for an update, we explore how Jesus gives a new heart and then renews us day by day. Using a “panning for gold” approach, we share how to swirl what you watch and read until the weighty things settle—Scripture, the fruit of the Spirit, tested wisdom—while the chaff washes away. Anchored by Job 28’s aching question—where does wisdom come from?—we point to the fear of the Lord and the fullness of Christ. If all the fullness of deity dwells in him and we are filled in him, then faith can’t be tucked into Sunday; it must shape mind, habits, relationships, and hope. Expect strong takeaways on resisting cultural drift, building convictions that are kind, and practicing a whole-life Christianity that breathes gratitude.
