SUNDAY, MARCH 8, 2026
Who knows? This week we’ll continue our Learning to Move series. At the heart of the series is this idea of readiness, positioning ourselves to be ready for whatever God does.
And this week… well, who knows?
God is working and whispering, and one moment it seems clear we’ll be talking about one thing, and the next moment something else surfaces. Lord willing, we’ll have something to say and something to hear. But some weeks feel like this. Sometimes God speaks loudly on Monday, and sometimes He moves in by the weekend.
Either way, we’ll be together. We’ll open the Book. And we’ll see how God shows up.
“Who knows?” becomes something we can celebrate, because even when we don’t know, God does.
See you Sunday. NOTE: DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME BEGINS THIS SUNDAY!
CO-PASTOR SEARCH UPDATE
The elder board recently shared an update about the status of the co-pastor search and our hope to make an employment offer in the near future. At that time, we had selected a top candidate and were waiting for background and reference checks.
Due to an unexpected serious illness in that candidate’s family, they have withdrawn from the search process in order to pursue a position located closer to their extended family.
Our recruiting firm will submit additional candidates for consideration within the next few weeks, and we will continue to pray and seek God’s direction for the person He has chosen to serve Woodcrest.
Please continue to pray with us for God’s will to be done.

LAST WEEK’S INSIGHTS
Last Sunday, Kelly walked through David’s story in 2 Samuel 11–12, reminding us that failure rarely begins with a scandal. It usually begins with a quiet compromise. David stayed home when kings go to war, drifted into comfort, and then step by step moved from temptation to sin to cover-up.
We also saw God’s mercy through Nathan’s courageous confrontation (“You are the man”), David’s confession, and the heart of repentance expressed in Psalm 51.
Highlights
• Downfall often begins with being where you shouldn’t be, not with a dramatic decision.
• Success can create a cycle: success → complacency → failure when we stop depending on God.
• Temptation isn’t sin, but it gains power when we fail to interrupt it early.
• Covering up costs more than confessing (Proverbs 28:13). Confession leads to freedom (1 John 1:9).
• Accountability matters. When power creates silence, we lose the voices that can help stop the drift.
THE TAKEAWAY
Stay intentional in the strong seasons. Engage your heart daily, name your weaknesses, and invite truth-tellers into your life before small steps become major fallout.
