@JonAcuff We used to have a Moses @SamfordSports along with the “Red Sea” (complete with t-shirts) student section!

A student at Franklin High dressed up as Moses during the football game and parted the student section like it was the Red Sea. I love this so much.

“You are good and do good; teach me your statutes.” Psalm 119:68

This Sunday, we will only have two services during the 10 am hour in the activities center or the sanctuary. We look forward to worshipping with you!

The Lord is faithful in all his words and kind in all his works. Ps 145:13

Leadership. May we all stand with him.

“He made you holy by means of Christ Jesus…” Not through religious routines. Not through my effort. Not through right doctrine. Not through daily disciplines. All these have their place, but none of them will or can earn me a restored relationship with God. Only Jesus.

If you think Christmas is complicated, imagine the first Christmas. What was complicated to Joseph, Mary and rest was actually simple to God. It was the unfolding of His plan to rescue us in Jesus. A "simple" Christmas starts with us trusting Him and His plan.

One of the best ways to evaluate your spiritual maturity is to listen to what you complain about.

Advent is a season to cultivate holy discontentment. To lean into the joys and magic of the season and then to taste the “lack” between the “now” and the not “yet.” The tension between the long today of Christ’s Kingdom and the coming tomorrow. Haste the day, Lord Jesus.

"Does our sacred music merely move us in the moment or form us for a lifetime of faithfulness? To presume to write, select, or lead our sacred music is to presume to teach. It is not a question of if our songs teach, but what."

@RandomPandaFRED you're the best!! love & miss you Deandra!!

not a birthday but another celebration… congrats @sarahcott ur engaged!!!!

Don’t miss our new worship schedule! It’s a great time to be a part of ministry at Johnson Ferry💫

During periods of waiting that stretch our much longer than we’d prefer, our confidence should not be permanently shaken. Instead like the psalmist, our declaration should be “I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord”@PriscillaShirer

Big things are happening at JF, come join us! johnsonferry.org

@claysmith79 Forever grateful for the way you and @bryantwright led @JohnsonFerry so well in this 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Pastoral succession: it's good to have a formal plan in writing. But at the end of the day, it all comes down to the humility and Spirit-led intentionality of the retiring pastor, the incoming pastor and the congregation. (Ps - the retiring pastor holds a lot of the cards)

Our students led worship @JohnsonFerry today. So proud of them and their love for Jesus. Our Living Hope.

In the first student trip since 2019, God has truly been using @JFStudentMusic in Birmingham! Our students have been serving partner ministries w/ concerts, sorting clothes, packing food boxes, decorating VBS rooms, & yard work! Pray for block party/concert tonight @JohnsonFerry
