Thankfully, the next breakfast hosted by KnoxWorx is just around the corner, and Coach Bruce Pearl will be joining us to share his story. We’ll be meeting at King College on [...]
Those who run a business are in a unique position. Not only can they see their own dreams come true through the growth of their company, they can also help others see their dreams come to life. And who doesn’t want to be a part of a dream being realized?! Through a partnership of several [...]
WE’RE MOVING! Based on your responses, the breakfast hosted by KnoxWorx is moving to West Knoxville. We’ve pushed the date back to Thursday, February 9th too, starting at 9:00 AM.

It’s that time of year when hope is high. The changing of the calendar brings a sense of newness. Anything is possible again. Unfortunately, despair has a way of finding us. Even the top CEOs are feeling it creep up on them. Thankfully, the next breakfast hosted by KnoxWorx is just around the corner. We’ll [...]
Recently, we wrapped up the “Debt of Honor” series, and may I say … AMAZING! I’m currently doing a segment in my own group about honor. The series started me thinking about Christ’s last days on Earth – the things he might have been thinking or wanting to do. He had so much to teach [...]
In the car, on the way to a meeting, I asked a friend about his plans for the upcoming Christmas break. What followed were some great stories of traditions long-held by his family. The thoughts brought laughter to our conversation. The thoughts also brought out some misgivings about the upcoming time with family. Traditions and [...]
As you battle any unexpected change in life, it’s critical to remember you’re not alone. What you are experiencing may feel unique but the same emotions have been shared by others before you. And that is why it’s critical we are connected … to be encouraged, inspired, and educated by those who have experienced change [...]
Few things impact us more directly than our jobs. So when we lose a job, more than our finances are affected. Our self image deteriorates. Our stress level goes up. And our relationships tend to suffer. It’s important to realize you’re not alone. Join us on Thursday, November 10th to be encouraged, inspired, and educated [...]
We just finished a rocking series on relationships called “Losing the Leaf”. I encourage you to pick up a copy of the messages if you missed any of it. We learned many things about God’s design for relationships, and Satan’s lies about relationships. What was God’s design for relationships? I think one of the best [...]

Our passion is to walk with you in your journey to help you become a fully devoted follower of Jesus. Adding value and providing direction in your journey with Christ [...]
To prove I have a sense of humor, I also critique myself. There’s one big error in my choice of pronouns. Can you find it? By the way, people are more likely to connect with your humanness (e.g., your mistakes) than your holiness.
This weekend we launch our newest series, “Losing the Leaf”. Unlike any other weekend topic this year, this series will align with the conversations taking place in the groups at Faith Promise. And because the weekend and the group experience are joined at the hip, missing either one will mean you are getting significantly less [...]
Or should we say- Is it good for you? God didn’t and doesn’t think so. 18 Then the LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.” Genesis 2:18 How is he alone, Adam is with God in the garden, right? Also, [...]
Remember the answer you gave as a 10-year old to the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Well, where are you? Are you living your dream? Yesterday, as I walked the course at The Atlanta Athletic Club, I watched Scott Stallings living his dream. He is preparing to play in [...]

(This post was written by Evan Crass, Associate Pastor of Groups) As our group was shooting the breeze, we landed on the topic of “dad jokes”. You know the ones like … Child: “Dad, I’m hungry.” Dad: “Nice to meet you, Hungry. I’m Jack.” What makes these jokes so bad is the timing is horrendous. [...]
(This post was written by Rob Patrick, Associate Groups Pastor) A man searches for it, but can’t find it on his own. He wrestles with his thoughts all day long. He doesn’t understand the master plan, because he doesn’t know the Master. Friendships are made and his friends help him along. They grow strong. The [...]
(This post was written by Evan Crass, Associate Pastor of Groups) Jeff and Becca’s story is not an uncommon one. That is, until they took what proved to be an extraordinary step towards becoming part of a larger family. Their story includes elements of any classic love story: romance, conflict, and sacrifice. They met while [...]
I am excited to announce that a new sign language class and Deaf/ASL Bible Study group just had their first meeting this past Saturday, May 14th, at the Pellissippi Campus of Faith Promise Church. The ASL sign language class is being held on Saturdays from 4:00 to 4:30 pm and the Deaf Bible Study group [...]
(This post was written by Evan Crass, Associate Pastor of Groups) I love a good story. Few things require my attention in the same way as a captivating story. And the story doesn’t just have to be funny. It could also be dramatic, romantic, or even tragic. But it does have to include action and [...]
(This blog was written by Rob Patrick, Associate Groups Pastor) It’s the bottom of the ninth, bases loaded, two outs, and the rookie who represents the game winning run comes to the plate for his first Major League at bat. You know the rest of the story, right? He hits a home run and is [...]
