What a wonderful week we’ve had at Summer Blast! I’ve loved watching these hundreds of kids learn about the love of Jesus while having the time of their lives. God is at work.

On Wednesday, Krista and I celebrated our 20th anniversary. It’s hard to believe it’s been twenty years! We met during our first week at Cedarville University, and since we were both Bible majors, we shared many of the same classes. But it wasn’t until our sophomore year that I got up the gumption to ask … [Read More…] July 21, 2024

As we close out Luke 9 this week, we see a litany of failures on the part of the disciples, and Jesus’ … [Read More…] June 30, 2024
This Sunday we come to one of the most glorious moments in the Bible as Jesus is transfigured on the mountain. It is a moment when we see Jesus for who He really is, and behold the world as it is truly destined to become. All the brokenness and frailty clouding our vision is stripped … [Read More…] June 23, 2024

Up to this point, the key question has been: “Who is this Jesus?” Jesus has been ministering up in Galilee, and everyone is trying to figure out just who He … [Read More…] June 16, 2024
Dear Moody Church Family Member, Many of you know that The Moody Church began as a Sunday School for street children who weren’t welcome in the local churches, or anywhere else.
