Nehemiah-6:1-3-Jesse Lockhart -5-27-26

Nehemiah 6:1–3 — “I Cannot Come Down” (Jesse Lockhart, 5‑27‑26 PM) Bro. Jesse preaches from Nehemiah 6 on the moment when Nehemiah, knee‑deep in rebuilding Jerusalem’s walls, refuses the enemy’s invitation to “come down” because the work was too great to abandon. He walks through the whole backdrop—the seventy years of captivity, the ruins of Jerusalem, the people finally stirred with a mind to work, and the relentless opposition that rose every time progress was made. From ridicule to intimidation to internal division, the enemy tried every tactic to stop the rebuilding, just as the devil tries to stop believers today. But Nehemiah’s answer becomes the heartbeat of the message: when God gives you a work, you don’t quit, you don’t slow down, and you don’t step off the wall for anything or anyone. Jesse warns that the devil often comes disguised as friendliness, compromise, or “just take it easy,” but stepping down always leads to spiritual loss. The call is to stand firm, stay straight, hold convictions, fight for family and faith, and refuse every distraction with Nehemiah’s words: “I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down.”   Location: Whitwell, Tennessee — Fairview Union Church

The heart-Jesse Lockhart 5-24-26 pm

Evening Service – The Heart (Jesse Lockhart, 5‑24‑26 PM) In this message on the heart, Bro. Jesse walks through God’s choosing of David in 1 Samuel 16, showing that while man looks at stature and appearance, God looks directly into the heart—the true core of a person. He explains that humanity’s natural heart is hardened, wicked, and incapable of producing righteousness, and that salvation is not behavior modification but a supernatural heart‑transplant where God removes the stony heart and gives a tender one that can feel, love, obey, and desire the things of God. Using Scripture, personal testimony, and vivid illustrations, he shows how the new heart produces new desires—love for people, hunger for God, and a willingness to be shaped like clay on the Potter’s wheel. The message ends with a call for continual self‑examination, asking God to search the heart, expose hidden ways, and shape believers into people whose inner life reflects Christ rather than outward appearance.   Location: Whitwell, Tennessee — Fairview Union Church

Seeing the Big Picture -Jesse Lockhart -5-24-26-am

Morning Service – Seeing the Big Picture (Jesse Lockhart, 5‑24‑26 AM) Bro. Jesse preaches from John 3:16–17 on the call to “see the big picture,” reminding the church that God’s love stretches across the whole world, even though only a few will choose the narrow way. He warns that believers often get tunnel vision—focused on personal comfort, personal opinions, or personal frustrations—while forgetting the eternal reality of souls, heaven, and hell. Through Scripture, parables, and testimony—including the powerful story of his father’s cancer becoming the very tool God used to reach a dying man—he shows that God works through suffering, delay, and difficulty to accomplish purposes far bigger than we can see. The message challenges listeners to step back, humble themselves, examine their own hearts, and look at people and circumstances through God’s eyes, remembering that Christ purchased the whole field because He saw treasure in it.   Location: Whitwell, Tennessee — Fairview Union Church

Sunday School -5-24-26-kindness

Sunday School – Kindness (5‑24‑26) In this Sunday School lesson, the focus settles on kindness as a mark of those who have truly entered through Christ the Door, reminding us that salvation is not the finish line but the beginning of a life that must be walked “worthy of the vocation” we’ve been called into. The teacher draws from Ephesians 4 to show that the saved are expected to grow—from spiritual infants tossed by every wind of doctrine into mature believers who walk in lowliness, meekness, longsuffering, and love, even when hurt comes from within the church itself. He warns that immaturity, pride, and doctrinal laziness fracture unity, while true growth requires patience with one another, discernment against deception, and a willingness to seek God rather than run from discomfort. The message presses that the Christian life is a continual maturing, a guarding of the heart, and a commitment to unity so the body of Christ can stand strong together.   Location: Whitwell, Tennessee — Fairview Union Church

Is there not a cause-5-17-26-pm Jesse Lockhart

Preaching from 1 Samuel 17, Brother Jesse declares that David’s question—“Is there not a cause?”—still confronts believers today as the enemy rises like Goliath to intimidate, defy, and discourage God’s people. He shows how David refused to see a giant and instead saw the God who had delivered him before, urging the church to stop running from spiritual battles and stand their ground for their families, their homes, their church, and their nation. With vivid imagery of David rejecting Saul’s armor, taking up his staff of remembrance, choosing five stones of grace, and running toward the fight in the name of the Lord, he calls believers to courage, prayer, and unwavering confidence that the battle is the Lord’s and victory still belongs to those who stand for Him.   Whitwell, Tennessee — Fairview Union Church
