In Week 2 of our sermon series The Art of Peopling, Pastor Richard dives into a powerful and personal message titled "Why We Fight", based on James 4:1 4.So why do we fight?✅ Because our passions are at war within us.✅ Because we expect others to meet needs only God can fulfill.✅ Because we ask with selfish motives.We often carry unhealed wounds from the past, unrealistic expectations of others, and unchecked selfish ambition. These things don’t just create conflict—they create disunity in the body of Christ.Want peace in your relationships? James gives us the answer: “Submit yourselves to God.”Stick around to the end—we're praying for restoration, release, and radical unity.📍 Join us Sundays in Branson, MO🌐 Visit: https://shepherdsheart.church#WhyWeFight #James4 #TheArtOfPeopling #SermonOnConflict #ShepherdsHeartChurch #ChristianUnity #BransonChurch #SundaySermon

In this new sermon series, "The Art of Peopling," at Shepherd’s Heart Church, we kicked it off talking about preserving unity. “God Creates Unity…We Just Preserve It." Pastor Richard unpacks what it means to live in unity as the body of Christ—how God has already created unity, and it’s our responsibility to preserve it.

In this powerful message, Makenzie Burtless, Children’s Director at Shepherd’s Heart Church in Branson, Missouri, shares a passionate word on raising up the next generation to boldly live out their faith.

Makenzie challenges kids, teens, and adults alike to set an example in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity.

Drawing from her personal journey in student ministry and stories from Scripture—like Jeremiah, Timothy, and the faith of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—Makenzie reminds us that there is no junior Holy Spirit and that young people are not the church of tomorrow—they are the church of today.
