What do you do when life feels unfamiliar and hard to navigate? In this message, "Singing in Strange Seasons," Pastor Chris Wesley of Antioch Fellowship Church teaches from Psalm 137:1-4 and reminds us that even in unfamiliar territory, God still gives us a reason to sing. #adversity #praise #worship #christianliving #resilience

00:00:00If it's your first time, whether you're in the building or watching us online, listen,
00:00:04we're so grateful that you're here and we want to connect with you.
00:00:06Please scan the QR code if you're at a physical location or if you're online, go ahead and
00:00:11fill out the link and then what we do is give you a phone call.
00:00:14That's right.
00:00:14A little bit about your journey to OCC, fam.
00:00:16That's right.
00:00:17So welcome if that is you.
00:00:19It is July.
00:00:21July.
00:00:21We are in, are we in the middle of summer now?
00:00:23We're like all in the summer.
00:00:25Actually, technically, I think first day of summer was June 22nd.
00:00:28It was.
00:00:29So it feels like it's been four months.
00:00:30It does.
00:00:31It does.
00:00:31Summer feels like it is here.
00:00:33It's definitely been here for our kiddos.
00:00:36We have had camps going since like April, it feels like.
00:00:40But I'm sure our student team can testify to that.
00:00:42But lots of camps that have happened.
00:00:44We've already had three experiences where we have baptized kids or students.
00:00:48I think this past weekend or this past week for the movement, we had over 30 kids go public
00:00:53with their faith.
00:00:53That's right.
00:00:54And what I love about it is now we're going into the territory of creating history.
00:00:59We have a church with the first ever camp that we've had, that we hosted.
00:01:03Yeah.
00:01:04And I'm just so grateful that we get a part of it and watch what God is doing in the next
00:01:06generation.
00:01:07That's right.
00:01:07Listen, it is the first weekend of July.
00:01:10First weekend always means the source.
00:01:13Hot off the press.
00:01:14So if you didn't know what the source was, it's kind of our way of telling you what is
00:01:18happening this month and a little bit of next month.
00:01:21And so make sure you, if you are online, go download our app, the OCC app, and you can
00:01:26download the source.
00:01:27Of course, if you're in one of our physical locations, you should be getting this at the
00:01:31door.
00:01:32But lots of things are still happening, even though we're in Sabbath month.
00:01:35A lot of things.
00:01:36And if you've never gone through Sabbath month with us as a church, at all of our locations
00:01:41as one body, we're coming together to cease, to pause, to really reignite our relationship
00:01:48with Jesus, we're going to be going through this book of Psalms together.
00:01:52So Jennifer mentioned the app.
00:01:54We have a habit tracker right here where you'll be able to go ahead and track your progress
00:01:59from day one all the way to day 31, where we are going to journey through the Psalms together.
00:02:04You can download the app.
00:02:05There'll be a reading guide on there as well.
00:02:07And what this season really means is like, hey, as we get ready to pour out as the fall
00:02:12is upon us, we want to pour inside, be poured into by the Lord and really be intentional
00:02:18with our relationship with Him.
00:02:20So you'll notice that there's no women's or men's Bible studies.
00:02:22You'll notice that our life groups are meeting a little less frequently in person.
00:02:27And young adults looks different.
00:02:29And young adults looks different.
00:02:29It's outside the walls is their theme.
00:02:31They're having a great time.
00:02:32Yeah.
00:02:33It's hot, but they're having a great time.
00:02:34It's hot.
00:02:34Yes.
00:02:35But, um, yes, so you can check all that stuff out at the source.
00:02:38But speaking of being poured into, we have an opportunity.
00:02:41He just has no idea where I'm going with this.
00:02:43I think I do.
00:02:44I'm a little excited.
00:02:45Come on.
00:02:45In a couple of weeks, we are going to be pouring into our couples.
00:02:48Come on.
00:02:49Couples Conference 2025.
00:02:50Yes.
00:02:51And so I'm excited about that.
00:02:52I'm also excited.
00:02:53We've opened up three campuses.
00:02:55Three campuses.
00:02:56Outside of Plano.
00:02:56So we've got Garland, Louisville, and Prosper.
00:02:58Those have their own unique experiences.
00:03:01So you'll have live communicators, live worship.
00:03:03You guys are doing dinner over there.
00:03:05It's going to be amazing.
00:03:06And in true OCC fashion, a ton of surprises.
00:03:10A ton of surprises.
00:03:10You just never know what's going to happen.
00:03:12So family, please register today.
00:03:13The campus registration link is still live.
00:03:16And the price is $60 per couple.
00:03:20Yes.
00:03:20I promise y'all.
00:03:21Men, I promise you.
00:03:23Go ahead and look around.
00:03:25Yes.
00:03:25And see if you can find something at a better price you won't be able to.
00:03:29$60 to purchase for this incredible experience that's going to be happening in a couple of weeks.
00:03:34And it's going to be a great time.
00:03:36That's right.
00:03:37You can register on the website.
00:03:38And Jen, today we got something pretty cool.
00:03:39You're wearing blue.
00:03:40I think it's for a reason.
00:03:41I am team boy today.
00:03:43It is baby dedication.
00:03:45Baby dedication weekend.
00:03:46So in November we do this too.
00:03:49So I was team girl.
00:03:50I wore my pink blazer.
00:03:51We do it like once or twice a year.
00:03:53We do it twice a year.
00:03:53Twice a year.
00:03:54July and November.
00:03:55And so this weekend we get to celebrate some families who have got beautiful gifts from the Lord.
00:04:02And we recognize this is not something you do on your own.
00:04:05Yeah.
00:04:05You can't do it by yourself.
00:04:06It takes a village to raise children in what better context to do this thing that we call raising children than the local church.
00:04:14Family, it's going to be a great time.
00:04:15So be present as we pray, as we take some vows.
00:04:18It's going to be a great time to reflect on what does it mean to be a part of body life.
00:04:22Yeah.
00:04:22So we want to invite you to be a part of that.
00:04:24And then, of course, family, we've got some mission trips coming up, Jennifer.
00:04:27Okay.
00:04:27Where are we going?
00:04:28So typically we go abroad.
00:04:29Oh, that's right.
00:04:29We've gone to the Dominican Republic.
00:04:31Excited about this one.
00:04:32We've gone to a lot of different countries.
00:04:35And now we've gone to Cuba.
00:04:36Yes.
00:04:37Now we're going to the inner city of Dallas.
00:04:39Yes.
00:04:39There's going to be a skills camp for kids from the ages of 6 to 18 years old.
00:04:43And it's a great opportunity for teachers and coaches to get connected, to be poured into.
00:04:48And that's actually happening right now as we speak.
00:04:51So we're going to be hearing more updates about that.
00:04:53But the fact that we get to go abroad.
00:04:55Yeah.
00:04:55And to get to go down the street.
00:04:56I love it.
00:04:56It just speaks to the scope of missions here at One Community Church.
00:04:59That's right.
00:04:59We do a lot for outreach.
00:05:01Which a lot of times maybe we don't get to hear it in the congregation or from the microphone or from the stage.
00:05:08But we do a lot in our community.
00:05:10And Pastor Kurt and his team, they lead the way on that.
00:05:13We just had a men's conference at one of our prisons here in Dallas.
00:05:18And so we'll hear more about that in the coming weeks and what God did there.
00:05:22But there's just some exciting things there.
00:05:23Yeah.
00:05:24And I think we try to win the summers here at OCC.
00:05:27And this is what I love to see as everything is interconnected.
00:05:30We try to win the summers.
00:05:31So for VBS, we allowed parents to drop off items.
00:05:35We typically do an Add to Cart weekend once a month.
00:05:37And because of the generosity of our OCC family, during VBS, we provided enough meals and non-perishable items to feed over 1,000 families in Collin County alone.
00:05:49Yes, I hear that here in class.
00:05:50Yeah, let's celebrate that, y'all.
00:05:51That's awesome.
00:05:52That's awesome.
00:05:52And as we try to win the summers, a part of that is also reshaping the community.
00:05:57Yeah.
00:05:57And we're just grateful that we get to be a part of it.
00:05:59And starting tomorrow, Jen, Sky Ranch.
00:06:02Yes.
00:06:03Sky Ranch is coming up.
00:06:03Sky Ranch Camp.
00:06:04Prosper Campus.
00:06:05That's right.
00:06:05And in true OCC fashion again, generosity.
00:06:07There's a 50% off coupon or code in your handout that you received on the way into church today where we get to sign our kiddos up for them to have a great time this summer.
00:06:18I do want to kind of rewind a little bit.
00:06:20Let's do it.
00:06:20So you were talking about how during VBS, Add to Cart, we brought in non-perishable.
00:06:25So we've got that same opportunity happening at the end of this month.
00:06:28And this is where we're going to pour into it.
00:06:30Y'all, we're already talking about kids going back to school.
00:06:33Kids going back to school.
00:06:33So we are, you can go out there online at our website or on the app.
00:06:38Check out what kind of items we need at the end of July.
00:06:40It's always, typically we have Add to Cart on the fourth weekend of the month.
00:06:44Go out there, check out those details.
00:06:46And let's just be generous with our kids.
00:06:48Yeah.
00:06:48And of course, you guys, we want to point you to two specific resources today.
00:06:52Number one, our website.
00:06:54Yep.
00:06:54Visit1cc.com.
00:06:55If you have not yet gone and visited, please do so.
00:06:58You'll receive all the updates.
00:06:59And then, of course, our mobile app.
00:07:02Go to your app store, search One Community Church, and download our app where you can get all resources and announcements there.
00:07:08As you can hear the music behind Jen and I, we would love to invite you to prepare your hearts for worship.
00:07:12Family, check this out.

00:23:02Sometimes it's just good to sit in the stillness of God
00:23:29and just reflect on His goodness and His mercy and grace.
00:23:32Just take a couple of seconds just to thank Him for His goodness.

00:25:04In all my days I've been held in your name.

00:25:20I will sing of the goodness of God.
00:25:30All my life you have been faithful.
00:25:38All my life you have been faithful.

00:27:03Let's go through the page.
00:27:04Come on Zach.
00:27:05Let's go through the page.
00:27:07Come on Zach.
00:27:08.
00:27:10Your goodness is running up to it.

00:28:08Oh, cause all my life
00:28:12You have been saved
00:28:14Oh, cause all my life
00:28:20You have been so, so
00:28:23Oh, cause all my life
00:28:27As we sing
00:28:42As we sing of the goodness of God
00:28:45We're reminded that every breath
00:28:49That we have
00:28:49That we're able
00:28:50We should sing
00:28:51Because we don't know
00:28:53When challenge comes our way
00:28:54You know, right now
00:28:56In the state of Texas
00:28:57There's tragedy happening
00:29:00There's people across this state
00:29:03Right now wondering
00:29:04How am I gonna make it?
00:29:06And I wanna tell you
00:29:07The contrast of this
00:29:09Because yesterday
00:29:10At 1pm
00:29:12385 of our students
00:29:15Returned back from camp
00:29:16And we give thanks for that
00:29:25But our heart breaks
00:29:27Because we know
00:29:28There's families across the state
00:29:30Whose kids have not made it
00:29:31Back from camp
00:29:32The number is 51 right now
00:29:3615 children
00:29:38That have passed
00:29:41This is a Christian camp
00:29:42Just like what we were at
00:29:43Over 600 young ladies
00:29:46Were at this camp
00:29:47When tragedy struck
00:29:49And we don't have answers
00:29:54We don't have solutions
00:29:56But what we do have
00:29:58Is dependence on God
00:29:59And what breaks his heart
00:30:02Should break our heart
00:30:04I wanna read you
00:30:05What the Bible tells us
00:30:07When tragedy strikes
00:30:09Because we all
00:30:10Go through it
00:30:11In Psalm chapter 23 verse 4
00:30:14We're reminded that
00:30:15Even when I walk through
00:30:16The valley of the shadow of death
00:30:17I will fear no evil
00:30:19Because you are with me
00:30:20Psalm 34 says
00:30:22The Lord is close
00:30:23To the broken hearted
00:30:24And saves those
00:30:26Who are crushed in spirit
00:30:27Psalm 56 says
00:30:28God you keep track
00:30:30Of my sorrows
00:30:31You've collected
00:30:32All my tears
00:30:33In your bottle
00:30:34We're reminded
00:30:35That Jesus wept
00:30:36We're reminded
00:30:36That the spirit
00:30:37Helps us in our weakness
00:30:38We're reminded
00:30:39Over and over again
00:30:40That God is with us
00:30:42Even in our hardest times
00:30:44So even without solution
00:30:46What we do have
00:30:47And it is enough
00:30:48Is to pray
00:30:49So what we're gonna do
00:30:51Right now is pause
00:30:51For the next 15 to 20 seconds
00:30:53And you might be thinking
00:30:54I don't even know
00:30:54How to pray like that
00:30:55You can just say
00:30:56God would you help them
00:30:57But I wanna ignite
00:31:01Every prayer warrior
00:31:03At One Community Church
00:31:05To pray for the families
00:31:06Of those who've lost loved ones
00:31:08And those who are searching
00:31:10Wondering right now
00:31:11So would you join in
00:31:12And as the music plays softly
00:31:14Would you just pray
00:31:15However you need to pray
00:31:16And pray that God's presence
00:31:19Will overwhelm them
00:31:21In their pain
00:31:22Church family
00:31:23Let's go to God
00:31:24And pray for this tragedy
00:31:26Heavenly Father right now
00:31:49As we all come to you
00:31:51In a chorus of prayer
00:31:52God we thank you number one
00:31:54That you hear every single prayer
00:31:55That's being prayed right now
00:31:56God and our prayer
00:31:57Is for presence
00:31:59With the families
00:32:00Of those who are hurting
00:32:01Right now
00:32:02So many of us know
00:32:04What it's like
00:32:05To go through pain
00:32:06And loss
00:32:06But God when it just comes
00:32:08With no warning
00:32:09It hurts
00:32:10And it hurts
00:32:12To see pictures
00:32:13And images
00:32:13So God right now
00:32:15We pray for your comfort
00:32:16And your peace
00:32:17And your love
00:32:17God would you help
00:32:18Those families
00:32:19And God for those
00:32:21Who are still
00:32:21Don't know where
00:32:22They're
00:32:23It's unknown
00:32:24They're still searching
00:32:25God would you
00:32:26Supernaturally
00:32:27Help rescue
00:32:28Efforts
00:32:28Find them
00:32:29God whether it's
00:32:30Down the river
00:32:31Whether it's in a tree
00:32:32Whether it's in a car
00:32:33God will you
00:32:33Supernaturally
00:32:34Save those
00:32:35Who are still
00:32:36Unaccounted for
00:32:37God
00:32:37Father I pray right now
00:32:40That you will help
00:32:41In this situation
00:32:42God our only answer
00:32:46Is to call out to you
00:32:47So Father when we're
00:32:50In our most pain
00:32:51We either are
00:32:53Confronted with the fact
00:32:54Is there a God
00:32:55Or is there not a God
00:32:56Are you in control
00:32:58Or are you not in control
00:33:00And God we know
00:33:02You're there
00:33:02And we know
00:33:03You're in control
00:33:03So God we cry out
00:33:04On your behalf
00:33:05Would you help us
00:33:07Would you help them
00:33:09God it's in Jesus name
00:33:11We pray
00:33:12Amen
00:33:13The question is
00:33:16How do you worship
00:33:17When this goes on
00:33:18Our worship is a declaration
00:33:21Our worship is a proclamation
00:33:23Of the goodness of God
00:33:25Our worship is saying
00:33:26You know what God
00:33:27Your goodness is not
00:33:29Determined on my circumstances
00:33:30Or what's going on
00:33:31Around me
00:33:32Your goodness is
00:33:33Dependent on you
00:33:34Your goodness is
00:33:36Dependent upon
00:33:36What you did on the cross
00:33:37So could you help me
00:33:39As we sing
00:33:40Of the goodness of God
00:33:42Even when we're in pain
00:33:44Cause all my life
00:33:47You have been faithful
00:33:50Cause all my life
00:33:55You have been so
00:33:57So good

00:34:02With every breath
00:34:02That I am made
00:34:05I will sing

00:34:25You have been faithful
00:34:29With every breath that I have made, I will sing of the goodness of God.
00:34:42Let's sing it out one more time.
00:34:44Sing all my life you have been saved.

00:44:25Can you help me thank God that we've got victory?
00:44:31Our prayer today is that God will cure us from spiritual amnesia, where every now and then we forget everything that he's done.
00:44:45So, Father, right now, I pray in the spirit of Jesus Christ that you will bring back to our memory all that you've done for us.
00:44:57God, how you've made a way when we didn't see a way.
00:45:01God, how when we got the doctor's report, how it changed all of a sudden.
00:45:07God, how you brought back that person we thought we had lost forever.
00:45:12God, we pray that you will help us remember all that you've done.
00:45:16And God, there's some things that we don't even know that you did.
00:45:19Some things you kept from happening to us.
00:45:22So, God, would you help us remember?
00:45:25Help us look back at all that you've done.
00:45:29And God, the reason we look back is so that we can then look forward.
00:45:33Because we know that our hope is in your hands.
00:45:37So, Father, we thank you for a little memory check today.
00:45:41We thank you for your goodness.
00:45:43And we praise you in Jesus' name.
00:45:46Amen.
00:45:48Help me thank God today, family.
00:45:57Amen.
00:45:58How many of y'all are grateful for what God is doing in our midst today, family?
00:46:02Amen.
00:46:03Amen.
00:46:04We just want to thank you guys for being in the house of the Lord all.
00:46:08And today, where we get to remember all the good things that God has done.
00:46:13And all the things he's brought us through.
00:46:15Amen.
00:46:16Well, family, we've got a special group of individuals in the room today.
00:46:19And joining us online.
00:46:20And that is our first time guest.
00:46:21So, if it's your first time here, yeah, let's celebrate our first time guest family.
00:46:25Yes.
00:46:26Listen, we just want to thank you for being here today.
00:46:29We just want to thank you for being here today.
00:46:31We've been waiting for you all week.
00:46:32We've been praying for you.
00:46:34And all we would love to do is connect with you.
00:46:35So, please let us know that you're here by scanning the QR code on the seat back in
00:46:39front of you.
00:46:40And that allows us to give you a phone call and hear a little bit about your journey
00:46:42to one community.
00:46:43OCC family, can you put your hands together one more time for our first time guests.
00:46:50Thank you so much for being here today.
00:46:52And we want you to know what God's doing through the generosity of this church.
00:46:55So many people on a weekly basis give.
00:46:58And what they're doing is they're saying, God, we know that everything that we have
00:47:02comes from you.
00:47:03So, we give back to you to say thank you.
00:47:06And what happens when we give back is God works in our hearts.
00:47:09But he also does something special.
00:47:10We don't always get to see what he's doing, but we love to show you what God's doing at
00:47:15our church, at all of our campuses.
00:47:17You're going to see in just a moment what God's been doing at Plano in our nursery area,
00:47:21at McKinney, and at our Future Anna campus.
00:47:24We want you to just see what's on the horizon.
00:47:26Check this out.
00:47:40When do you think a lot of them is going to be hitting the house.
00:47:42We're going to see where it's going.

00:48:23We give thanks and we thank you for giving.
00:48:25What you saw there at McKinney, you saw a bunch of theaters getting demolished
00:48:29as the construction's beginning for the renovation of what's going to be
00:48:34our finished-out McKinney campus prayerfully by the end of this year.
00:48:37So we want to thank you for giving and want to encourage you to continue giving.
00:48:41You'll see all the ways on the screen behind me, or you can go to our webpage,
00:48:44but we want to say thank you for intentionally giving and making a difference.
00:48:48Amen, family.
00:48:49One of our values as a church is intimacy with God,
00:48:53and one of the ways we work that out is through Sabbath month,
00:48:56and we're kicking that off here in the month of July.
00:48:59We want to invite you to be a part of it.
00:49:01It's really an opportunity for us to reset, to recharge.
00:49:03As we get ready to pour out in the fall, we need to make sure that we're pouring
00:49:07into ourselves in the summer.
00:49:09So please join us for that.
00:49:10You'll receive a tracker on the way out of church if you did not get it last week.
00:49:13And we also want to point you to the app where you can download a reading plan
00:49:16as one body will be walking through the book of Psalms.
00:49:19So we want to invite you to join us for that, family.
00:49:21Yeah, and today you may hear some different sounds in church that you don't always hear.
00:49:27That way and that way.
00:49:28We get to celebrate baby dedication, where we dedicate families today.
00:49:33So as the families come up to the stage,
00:49:36would you turn your attention to the screen as we prepare for our baby dedication?
00:49:39For this child, I have prayed, and you heard my cry.
00:50:02For this baby, I had faith, and you gave new life.
00:50:18In this moment, now I pray, and I vow to you this day.
00:50:30I dedicate myself to train and love them like you do.
00:50:57I will put your word into their heart.
00:51:11I dedicate this baby back to you.
00:51:27All right, on the count of three, we're all going to say ah together, okay?
00:51:31One, two, three, ah.
00:51:34Amen.
00:51:36Jennifer's going to introduce us to all these amazing families.
00:51:39This afternoon, we are celebrating Creed Pugh, Caleb Brown, Sade Ajayai, Amari Taylor, Jason Grayson,
00:51:51Leah Carter, Kaysen Jin, Naila Hofisi, Jalen Amikumo, Madison Peace Bush,
00:52:00Aria McAuliffe, Aria McAuliffe, Serenity Tame, Kennedy Patterson, Ashton Williams, Aria Aduteo,
00:52:10St. James, Zaden Azario Campbell, Haley Perry, Sonia Wilson, Damon Tolbert,
00:52:23and globally, we have Bryson Gladney, Destiny Brown, Jada Lovett, Josie Washingtons, Koa Cummings, and Arthur Leder.
00:52:36You just, you have to appreciate the fact that this entire family coordinated.
00:52:51It says favorite auntie.
00:52:54It says daddy Ari.
00:52:56It's got every name.
00:52:59Thank everybody, friends and family, who are here to celebrate baby dedication.
00:53:03This is something that we enjoy doing.
00:53:06Now, we call it baby dedication, but in reality, none of these babies are going to remember this.
00:53:12This is really family and parent dedication.
00:53:16And what today is, parents, this is a reminder that without God's help, you can't do this.
00:53:23And for all the parents in the house today, you all, every last one of us has that moment where we thought we messed up.
00:53:31We did something we shouldn't have done.
00:53:32We all have that moment of, I'm not qualified for this job.
00:53:38And baby dedication is us saying, I'm not qualified.
00:53:41Even on my best day, I can't raise this kid before the Lord.
00:53:46And the Bible tells us that unless the Lord builds the house, those who labor, labor in vain.
00:53:52So today we're saying we want the Lord to build this house.
00:53:55So I've got some vows that I'm going to read for the families here and then for the church family, okay?
00:54:01After I read these vows, I just need you to affirm, say we will or we do.
00:54:06Either one, just say it loud so they hear you online and in the house, okay?
00:54:11Can you all do that?
00:54:11Let's do that.
00:54:12Let's read these.
00:54:12Do you today recognize that these children are gifts of God and give thanks for this blessing?
00:54:20That's good.
00:54:20Do you pledge that you will live out the truths of the Bible so your children will see how to love and fear God?
00:54:27Do you on this day pledge to make every reasonable effort to raise your children in God's love?
00:54:34That's good.
00:54:35Do you on this day ask God's blessing on your child's life to guide, to guard, and protect them?
00:54:42Amen.
00:54:42Church family, this takes a community.
00:54:46This takes a village.
00:54:48They're not in this by themselves.
00:54:51So church family, will you commit to support these families, to be there for them in the hard times and in the great times,
00:54:58to pray for them, to be present with them, and to keep encouraging them when they think they can't go on any longer,
00:55:05please let us know if you will.
00:55:08Amen.
00:55:09I want to ask you right now to stretch your right hand out and pray for the families on the stage right now for the next 20 seconds.
00:55:16Would you pray for these families as we dedicate them to the Lord?
