Our culture is in the middle of a shift. People are giving up, quitting, walking away, and chasing an easier path. We are calling it the Great Resignation. As followers of Christ, we are called to commitment. Jesus encountered a rich young man who ended up walking away sad because of the commitment level Jesus asked him to make. We don't have to give up! With God...NOTHING is impossible! We love you!

Failure is an event...Failure is NOT your identity! We love you!

This week at Life Church was POWERFUL! Pastor Jonathan unpacks one of the most profound passages on Legacy in the New Testament. LEGACY HAS LESS TO DO WITH BEHAVIORAL MODIFICATION AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH A HEART CONDITION. This challenge was to think about the legacy we are writing because we are writing it every day with the decisions we make. Remember...the WHY is more important than the WHAT. We love you!

www.lifechurchmcdonough.com
All of us enjoy our Comfort Zone. The reality is Real Change begins when we step out of our Comfort Zone and trust Jesus with our lives. Peter Really walked on water. 11 others watched in amazement, but never got out of the comfort of the boat to do the impossible. Let this message stir our faith so that we dare to ask Jesus to call us out of the boat! We love you!
www.lifechurchmcdonough.com

Let this message encourage your heart and prepare you for the Thanksgiving Holiday. We love you!
www.lifechurchmcdonough.com
Nothing is going to change without the Power of the Holy Spirit. The anointing is something we simply cannot fake. This message looks at a moment in Acts where Real Change is in juxtaposition to a counterfeit attempt. Nothing compares to the fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit! We love you!
www.lifechurchmcdonough.com
Do you want Real Change? Real Change is possible. We all must take personal responsibility to experience the Real Change God has for our lives. It is for FREEDOM Christ has set us free...Lets stand firm in that freedom and live the authentic life He Created us for! We love you!
www.lifechurchmcdonough.com
Disappointments will come our way and Discouragements will happen as we navigate this life. They are tools to wear us down. When small things compound, they gain a louder voice. We need to take a step back and see the big picture when disappointment and discouragements come. We have our health, we have a sovereign God who loves us and is in control! Don't live from disappointment and discouragement...live through it! Look up! Your help is coming from the Lord! We LOVE You!
www.lifechurchmcdonough.com
Join us for Special Guest Speaker, Pastor Phil Wall. This is a message we all need in order to be the church God has called us to be. Pastor Phil walks us through chapters 3 and 4 of the book of Acts and helps us see the profound implications that are incredibly relatable to todays agitated culture. You will be encouraged and our prayer is that God would give us all boldness as we face the challenges ahead. We love you!

John sent word to Jesus with a tough question... "Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?" John confronted the dark thoughts in his life and knew that he could bring his worst to Jesus! It's time to grow and it's time to not be satisfied with the dysfunction and disappointment in our lives. Let this message encourage your walk with Jesus! We love you!
www.lifechurchmcdonough.com
Being exhausted leaves us vulnerable. When we are tired and have not adequately rested, we tend to be more susceptible to fear and anxiety. God has not called us to be fearful or anxious. Jesus can and wants to calm the storms of this life. Let this message bring you peace in the middle of any storm you may be facing. We love you!
www.lifechurchmcdonough.com
The way it was is NOT how it has to be! We can't change our past but with Jesus we can walk into a new future! It's God's desire that we become more than simply a product of our environment. All of us will face tough times and difficult situations, but we can be empowered by Jesus to Live Through and Not From!
Saul was chasing Donkeys and ended up being anointed King. He went from insignificant tasks to a Holy Destiny. We must keep our eyes fixed on Jesus when we experience negative circumstances. You never know...the situation you are facing today may be putting your in line to meet the prophetic voice of heaven that is going to promote your life despite the hard times you are facing.
Our Current Position will determine our future destination. We need to be positioned with purpose. At Life Church we want to be more like Jesus so this week we are looking at his example found in Luke 2. Jesus was Found in His Father's House. Its time to take personal responsibility for our lives and strive to be more and more like Jesus!
The Man with the Red Bandana and the Man whose robe is dipped in blood. There is a divine appointment with the one person who can change everything for you. His name is Jesus and we must position ourselves to get in the path of where Jesus is going. We will never forget 9/11 and the amazing people who served and sacrificed so much in the midst of pure evil.
www.lifechurchmcdonough.com
Our First Lady, Jubilee Criswell brings the Word this episode. In order for something to be found it has to experience being lost at some level. Our challenges and difficulties are what empower us to have hope. Jubilee looks at an obscure passage of scripture to give us a perspective that embracing humility is a key to find the character God desires to instill in us.
www.lifechurchmcdonough.com
Today is not the day to quit! You don't want to miss the conclusion of this powerful series. Today's message is called "Let Go and Let God." Jesus wants to give you rest. Be encouraged through His Holy Word and allow Jesus to take control! We LOVE you!

There is power in determined prayer! If you are faced with opposition, today is NOT the day to quit...Today IS the day to Pray! We are living in the last days and now more than ever we need to be people of prayer. Let this message inspire you to spend time with Jesus in prayer every day from this moment forward!

Ouida is the Director of Chi Alpha Campus Ministries in the state of Georgia and oversees multiple on campus missions efforts on many of our college campuses in Georgia. Her heart felt encouragement will inspire you to keep pressing into Jesus and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus even when times are confusing.
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
Today is Not the Day to Quit! So much is coming against you and I to discourage us and the more we dwell on quitting and giving up, the more likely we are to actually give up. Giving up won't solve our problems! Our refusal to give up will be the difference maker for our breakthrough! This will encourage your heart! Get this in your spirit! "NOT TODAY!" We believe in you! We love you! We are standing with you!
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
Special guest speaker Jayme Easey shares the scriptural foundation that reveals Jesus is fully God, fully man. Jayme incorporates his personal testimony to articulate how history and scripture proves that Jesus really is who he said he is and Jesus is the way the truth and the life.
Warning: This message is challenging. Who has God positioned at your Gate? Its vital to have vision for our own lives but following Jesus also requires that we have vision for others. Let this message inspire you to see others beyond what they are today so that we become the catalyst of who they will become in the near future!
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
Clarity is Coming! This week we look at the miracle when Jesus healed a blind man in a peculiar way. There are moments we can see but our vision is still blurred. If you are in a season where things are confusing, this message is for you because CLARITY IS COMING!
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
We are praying this first week of our July Vision Series brings you hope and encouragement. When we go through difficulties and tough situations, sometimes we experience selective memory loss of how far God has brought us. God is fighting for us supernaturally all the time even when we don't see it. Let this be our prayer for Week 1 of "Vision"- "Open our Eyes Lord so that we can see!"
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
Happy 4th of July! As we celebrate our great nation's independence, we recognize that we are one nation under God's Authority!

Happy Father's Day! We had an incredible service starting with some funny Dad Jokes. God is calling us higher! As the Men of the Church Go, so the church will Go. The Lord gave us a Prophetic Word and wants to encourage your heart!
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
Curse the Root...Move the Mountain. How we speak will either produce LIFE or Death in our lives. The words that come out of our mouths are a reflection of what is in our hearts. Its time to speak to our frustrations and live a life of INTEGRITY with our words that hold the power to change our lives completely!
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
Without Integrity, nothing we do will last or be of any eternal significance. God's Word calls us to live with Integrity. As we launch this series we look at a thought provoking passage in 2 Kings where a group of people as the question "Why Sit Here Until We Die?" Week 1 in this powerful series inspires us to have the Integrity to DO SOMETHING!
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
God has uniquely gifted you with purpose. Your calling is not to imitate others but to FLOW in your own anointing. Let this message inspire you to be yourself and challenge you to not conform to the patterns of this world! We love you!
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
50 Days after the Resurrection, the promise Jesus gave us was fulfilled! The Gift of the Holy Spirit fell powerfully in that upper room, and today that same FLOW is available to you and I! Our God is not Weird, Our God is Supernatural! Be encouraged and we are praying you would be full of his Holy Spirit!
www.mcdonougfirstag.org
You and I have a responsibility to create the FLOW of anointing in the world around us! We can transform the atmosphere of the room we walk into. Many times God is waiting on US, his people, to function in our specific calling and anointing that is on our lives. Be encouraged that you are capable of bringing the FLOW wherever you go!
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
Today we celebrate the heroes we call "Mom." Our church is blessed to be diverse and we celebrate Women in Ministry. Join us as special guest speaker and Board Member, Mrs. Heather Mullinax, communicates a powerful message that "You are Enough!"
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
There is a Sweet Spot where the FLOW of the Holy Spirit empowers us to do things and accomplish things we could not do or accomplish on our own. There is an anointing that is available to us all as we fall deeper in Love with Jesus. The windows of Heaven are opening...Get in the FLOW and allow this message to inspire your walk with Jesus!
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
Circumstances should never dictate our theology. When an obstacle comes in between us and Jesus, we need to have an UNDEFEATED mindset. The creativity and ingenuity is already in you...its time to take a step of faith and see God do a miracle!
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
We were created for relationship. God never intended for us to navigate this life alone. We can find enormous strength in walking life with one another. Accountability is vital in the life of an Undefeated Believer! Let this message encourage you that you are not alone in this fight! Together we can be Undefeated!
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
STRESS. We all deal with it. Stress is a reality of every persons life. God will allow stress to grow us and stretch us and make us better...but the enemy uses stress to manipulate us and trick us to conform. Let this practical message inspire you to not let Stress get the best of you! You can be Undefeated even under enormous amounts of stress! You can do all things through Christ who gives you strength!
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
What a Powerful Moment in Human History! Jesus Christ has risen from the dead, defeating Death, Hell and the Grave! Be encouraged by this unique look at the Easter Story! We love you and HE IS RISEN!
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
This week our First Lady, Jubilee Criswell, brings the Word. We often need to "Reframe" what we are going through and see things from a different perspective. Jonah had a hard time reframing what God was doing in his life...but we dont have to.
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
All of us have purpose. All of us are called. C.S. Lewis said "The opposite of Love is not hate...it is indifference." If someone does not preach the good news of Jesus Christ, how then will they hear? You and I have a part to play and the reward is eternally fulfilling! Be encouraged to go and make a difference!
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
The church of Jesus Christ should be the most faith filled people on the planet. Faith is not always comfortable but it is required to please God. Let Faith Arise and allow this message to boost your faith!
When no one else is watching...when it seems no one else will know, we need to be reminded God knows. The enemy of our soul wants to take us down when things are at their best and he will kick us when we are down if we are not careful. Let this message encourage you to run when temptation comes our way! We love you!
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
Special Guest Speaker Jayme Easey. The promiscuous woman Hosea was called to marry, Peter's denial, Jonah Running from His Calling...the list Goes on and on...GOD LOVED THEM BACK. Let this unique perspective draw you back to your first love!
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
Thank You...Next. You have Lost that Loving Feeling. Join us this week as we look at one of Jesus' most famous parables. Life is Here at McDonough First and we are a people who won't pass by on the other side!
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
Week 2 we are having some more fun with Love Song Lies as we look at the song "I Don't Care" by Justin Bieber and Ed Sheeran. All of us want to be accepted and loved for who we are. Jesus created us with purpose and with specificity and he loves us perfectly. Let this message encourage your heart this Valentine's Day! We love you!
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
There are some epic Love Songs that have deeply impacted our culture. Some have expressed genuine love, others have got it twisted. This week we look at how God's Word brings light on how saying the hard thing is many times the more Loving thing to say. We are having a little fun with the Jonas Brothers hit "Im a Sucker For You" and contrast it with the life of Sampson.
We have really enjoyed this powerful series! This message is one of the most important small steps that will make a world of difference...The Private Ministry of Humility. Humility will help us finish the race in front of us. Let it encourage you and as we humble ourselves, God will lift us up!
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
Persistence is a difference maker. The in-between times are difficult to navigate, but we all need a one-more-time mindset...we are one more prayer away from breakthrough, one more act of obedience until we see the miraculous, one more time to place our trust in Jesus, and he will make sure we experience the justice we are seeking!
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
Determined people get results! What you put in is what you will get out. Let this message inspire you to Worship harder than ever before! We are a people that are determined to worship!
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
The Small Step that makes a world of difference is Loyalty. Being true to our word, consistent in our dedication to serve...not just with our personal relationship with God but also to His church and to His people. The modern day church could learn some valuable lessons from the first century church...as for our great church, we will be loyal to Jesus and to each other.
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
2020 was a difficult year that required a lot of Determination to get through. God is calling us to a similar "Determined" Resolve in 2021. If we are going to stay determined, we must allow ourselves to see things differently, especially when hard times come our way. Let this message encourage your heart and inspire you to refuse to give up when life gets hard! You are Determined in 2021!
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
Have you ever experienced an unexpected change of plans? The Christmas Story is not tame. The twists and turns in life are what our Sovereign God uses to FULFILL his Word and Our God is Faithful to do what he says. Be inspired this Christmas that even in confusing times, God's will for our Lives will be FULFILLED!
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
Forgiveness is at the core of our Christian Faith. Forgiveness is something we all should be eternally grateful for. It is also one of the hardest things we are required to do. This message can set you free, and it can change the world for the better if you will accept the challenge! We love you!
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
We have so much to be Thankful for even in the year we have had in 2020. Many times the Holidays tend to magnify the empty areas of our lives. Let God's Word encourage you that Jesus wants us full of His Love this Thanksgiving!
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
The message title this week is TOUGH LOVE- Loving Your Enemies. This message is straight from the mouth and heart of Jesus. It's easier said than done, but we should be compelled by love to pray for and extend love to even those that hate us and treat us poorly.
We had multiple Missionaries join us for our 2020 Missions Banquet. Watch the full service on our archives and enjoy this challenge to make a global difference!
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org

www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
We are a church that is Compelled By Love! This week is about regaining the ability to dream again! God wants us to have vision that is not limited by our circumstance but vision that is fueled by faith! Be encouraged and stop being ok with an ordinary life! Jesus has more for you!
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
The way we speak to one another matters to God. This weeks message will challenge the way you speak to people and about people. It may cross a line, but God wants us to watch our mouths because out of the overflow of our hearts our mouth speaks!
We all have Anger Issues. Be comforted that just because we experience the emotion of anger does not mean we are living in sin. What we do with our anger matters! This message may cross the line, but God wants to give you serenity in the midst of the circumstances and people that accelerate the anger within you.
Boundaries are so important to the success and Life of a believer! This week we address the boundary of seeking the approval of others vs. resting in God's approval. You don't have to strive or live your life looking over your shoulder wondering what others may think if you are consistently doing the right thing for Jesus! We hope this message blesses you!
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
Church People are not the best with Boundaries. One of the most dangerous boundaries we cross and get "Offsides" and cross the line is when we compare ourselves with one another. Let this profound message from God's Word give you a renewed perception that you don't have to compare any longer!
There is a time and place to Wrestle with God. Now is not the time for you to give up! If you need encouragement in the middle of your struggle...this message is for you! We Love you and Believe in You!
www.mcdonoughfirstag.org
As we face a pandemic, God is calling us to guard our hearts. The church of Jesus Christ is praying for you and we are here for you! We love you!
Capacity. The limit we can take. Our capacity is many times too comfortable for the high calling on our lives. Tough times bring out our best. Adversity stretches us and increases our capacity. Let this message encourage you that God is not done with your life and he is about to grow your Capacity!
Our God is in control! The enemy of our soul has no real power. In a moment of turmoil and a temporary event that will eventually pass with the Coronavirus, the church has the answer! We are praying for our nation and the world around us. Allow this message to increase your faith and put fear in its place!
On week 2 of our March Series, our Israel 2020 was in the Holy Land. We had special guest Pastor Brent Collins come and speak an encouraging word! Take a listen and be encouraged...God wants to wake the Sleeping Giant in you! We love you!

There is immense potential in each of us. God has gifted all of us with gifts and abilities to change the world for the better. Let this message encourage your heart to wake up the Sleeping Giant that is in you!
If we don't learn to view our circumstances through the appropriate lens, we will begin to hate life. This week's Worship Experience will encourage your heart to know that even in the difficulties of Life, God is using the good, the bad, and the ugly to make something of Great value in you. We love you and hope this encourages your heart!
Love can be a challenge. Let this Worship Experience inspire you to understand that the work you put into feeding Love will Pay off! "The Payoff is Worth the Process because LOVE NEVER FAILS!"

Pastor Mike McBride gives us a powerful reminder that in order to Feed Love and Starve Hate we must Rearrange our Schedule, Offer our Service to Others, and Release our Resources. Listen as the story of the Good Samaritan challenges us to "Go and Do Likewise!"
We live in a hate filled world. Jesus has called us to be the salt of the earth and light in the darkness. This week we look at the ministry of Jesus to gain some practical insight on how to feed love and starve hate. Let this inspire you to Love deeply!
Christians should not walk in a defeated mindset! God has called us to be more than conquerors in Christ! Sometimes our past failures can discourage us to the point of giving up. Allow God's Word to inspire a Fresh Start in your Fight! The victory is yours...all we have to do is go after it in Jesus name!
Today is a day where we celebrate a champion of diversity. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a man of God that walked in Forgiveness. Forgiveness is at the core of Christianity. ALL of the ministry of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, was example after example of forgiveness. Let this message inspire you to have a Fresh Start in Forgiveness!
We need a Fresh Start of Faith...Therefore we need a Fresh Start in our thought life. How we think effects how we behave. Outside circumstances effect our thought life as well. If you need some encouragement to come to our senses and turn to Jesus, you came to the right place!
Its a New Year and a New Decade! Its time for a Fresh Start! Join us each week in this series for some encouragement! This week we start 21 days of Prayer and Fasting. Allow this message and the season of devotion to Jesus change your life! You won't regret it!
Its unbelievable that 2019 is almost over! A new Decade is here and God is doing something NEW! Be encouraged that the Promise God has for your life is coming! How we finish one season of life is how we start the next so join us at this worship experience and FINISH STRONG! We love you!
Life is hard. Marry and Joseph had a difficult journey to Bethlehem. Fighting through the tough times can get us to the Promise God has for our lives! Pastor Robby encourages us to keep going and appreciate the gift of the journey in this week's Worship Experience!
Presents come in all shapes and sizes. We wake up early to see what ends up under the Christmas Tree each year. The gifts that were given that first Christmas had significant meaning. This Christmas we recognize the Gift is Jesus and it truly is better to give than it is to receive.
Christmas is truly one of the most wonderful times of the year! It can also be difficult. Join us as we take a unique look at the original Christmas story. Jesus is The Gift of Christmas and we believe this message will encourage your heart and strengthen your resolve when the unexpected comes your way this Christmas. We love you and can't wait to see you in person at our great church!
Join our worship experience as we hosted our Georgia District Superintendent, Dr. Mark Merrill. There is a seat of Grace that God is preparing for us! Dr. Merrill gives us a compelling message from God's word to take responsibility to bring those that need redemption and restoration to the table of grace!
Everyone needs intervention. We are so grateful when God steps in and makes a way when there seems to be no way. God has called us to be his hands and feet, reaching with God's love, and love people around us to intervene. It was a powerful message that will bless your life...but its even better in person! We love you and hope to see you soon!

Welcome to Week 2 of our October Series, The Scary Truth. If Faith were easy, everyone on the planet would be walking in Faith. Faith is the evidence of things not seen, it's the substance of things hoped for. If you are in a season where life seems to be hitting you hard and faith seems absurd, let God's Word speak hope into your current circumstance. We love you!
