Celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ—His victory over sin and death and the living hope we have because the tomb is empty. Rejoice in the unshakable hope found in Him. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on April 5, 2026.

As you reflect on the sacrifice of Christ, contemplate His righteous juxtaposed with the sinfulness of man and see how the goodness of God brings reconciliation between the two. This message was preached by Pastor John Jackson on April 3, 2026.

Where is your hope found when faced with death? Biblical hope is not wishful thinking. It is a certain expectation grounded in the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. The Lord has given us this text not only to give us hope in the face of death, but to equip us to give that hope to others. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on March 29, 2026.

Last week the religious leaders raised a theological dilemma they thought Jesus couldn’t answer. Well, he answered it. And now he’s got one for them to answer. Jesus will also teach his disciples not to follow the way of the scribes, but instead to follow another, most unlikely example. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on March 22, 2026.

On Tuesday of Holy Week, Jesus’ opponents try to trip him up with their trick questions, one political and one theological. Jesus' answers reveal their faulty assumptions. It’s a great display of the courage and genius of Jesus. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on March 15, 2026.

The parable of the Vineyard Owner’s Son from Luke 20:1-18 is a chilling tale of the killing of a beloved Son at the hands of wicked men. And, Jesus preaches this parable just days before going to the cross. It is a parable that shows us the heart of God in his patience toward us, but also the tragedy and wickedness of rejecting his authority over our lives in Christ Jesus. This message was preached by Pastor Josh White on March 18 2026.

Last week we saw the joyful, triumphant entry of Jesus the King in Luke 19. This week we see the sudden and disturbing change of mood. Celebration suddenly turns to sobbing. The incredible compassion of Jesus. is seen through His weeping, His anger and His ultimate rejection. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on March 1, 2026.

Peace is not only the absence of something, but is also the presence of Someone. Let's trace the theme of peace that accompanies Jesus, the King of Peace, as He rides a colt into the City of Peace, Jerusalem. Peace is on His way! This message was preached by Pastor John Jackson on February 22, 2026.

Jesus has gone away to a far country, to later return as King, and has entrusted us with the spread of the Gospel in the meantime. Our mission is critical, his rewards are generous, and our King is worth it. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on February 15, 2026.

Jesus came to seek and save the lost. Though some have seen Zaccheus’ determination as the main point of this passage, it’s really about the sovereign call and transforming power of Jesus. He called out to Zaccheus; He invited Himself to his home; His grace stirred Zaccheus' heart to repentance. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on February 8, 2026.

Jesus is just about to make the steep trip up to Jerusalem, where he’ll spend his last week before the cross. But first, he makes a brief stop in Jericho. And as he enters the city, he hears the cries of a blind beggar—a man who knows way more about Jesus than anyone would expect. He knew Jesus's identity; he experienced His kindness, and he knew of His kingdom. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on February 1, 2026.

This passage on the rich young ruler, which is often misunderstood, gives us a great opportunity to understand the relationship between the Law and the Gospel. We’ll also see the genius and love of Jesus, the great heart surgeon who is able to expose the idols in our hearts. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on January 25, 2026.

Come see how Jesus values children and their kind of faith, how their faith is an example of the kind we all need as adults. It’s a short passage, but deep. And it gives us an opportunity to see the wonderful approachability of Jesus. Jesus received kids. We receive Jesus as kids, and God receives us as his kids. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on January 18, 2026.

The parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector, in Luke 18:9-14, is one of Jesus’ famous parables. It’s an immensely helpful parable for rooting out self-righteousness. The problem is we can’t receive its benefits, if we assume we’re not the Pharisee. As you listen, pray for your own heart, that the Lord will reveal any self-righteousness, so that you can put your confidence, not in your own merit, but in the mercy of God. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on January 11, 2026.

"They ought always to pray and not lose heart," Jesus told his disciples. Why? Because His kingdom is an already but not yet kingdom. He knew His disciples would need to know how to navigate waiting for His ultimate return and the suffering and injustice they would experience in the meantime. We also need to heed God's call to pray often for justice and to place our faith in the one true just Judge who hears our prayers and is coming again. This message was preached by Pastor John Jackson on January 4, 2026.

Psalm 119 is a song written by a man who was absolutely obsessed with Scripture and a love for God's very words. Why does the psalmist love God's word so much? He loves the word because it makes him wise; he loves the word because it makes him strong for suffering; he loves the word because it sets him free. One of the most important habits we can build in 2026 is the habit of regularly consuming God’s Word. And there’s no better place to get motivated for this than Psalm 119. Let’s let the psalmist's love for the Word stir ours. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on December 28, 2025.

Revisit the familiar story of the Wise Men through three powerful images from the story in Matthew's Gospel: the Star, the Sword, and the Shepherd-King. Together, they help us see—perhaps with fresh eyes—the true glory of who Jesus is: the Cosmic Jewish King for all nations. Though opposed by evil and human rebellion, He triumps through sacrifical love, ultimately giving His life on the cross. Whether you come as a follower of Christ or are still exploring faith, this message invites you—like the Wise Men—to receive Jesus as your King and respond with faith, joy, and worship. This message was preached by Pastor Dan McIntosh on December 24, 2025.

We have looked at our need for a King, the promise of a King and the family of the King. In this message we look at the making of a King. King Jesus is fully God and fully man, born of a virgin. Only in Him can we be saved from our sins. Will you receive this King? This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on December 21, 2025.

What can a genealogy tell us about Jesus, our King? It tells us that Jesus is a covenant keeping Messiah, a gracious Messiah and a redeeming Messiah. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on December 14, 2025.

Jesus is God's promised King. In Isaiah God promised coming joy: freedom from oppression and perfect peace. How did He accomplish this? "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given." Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of Isaiah 9. And while we await His second advent, we wait with a sure hope of the returning King. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on December 7, 2025.

Why did we need a King in the first place? Genesis 1-3 tell us the true story of the creation of a king, Adam, of the fall of that king, and of the promise of a better King, Jesus—not a human God made (like Adam), but God made human. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on November 30, 2025.

The Pharisees wanted the kingdom but they didn't want the King. The kingdom began with Christ's first advent and will fully come with his second advent. Jesus told his disciples His second coming will be a long wait, it will be obvious, it will be sudden, and it will separate believers from non-belivers. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on November 23, 2025.

The theme that runs through this passage is faith. Having faith in God and His promises gives us the ability to forgive others and follow Him. Jesus protects our faith, He nurtures our faith and He calls us to exercise our faith rooted in the grace He provides. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on November 16, 2025.

The parable of the rich man and Lazarus is a story of reversals—a tragic reversal for the rich man, and a gracious one for Lazarus. And it all points to the even greater reversal found in the gospel—where Jesus suffers the anguish and torment we deserve, so that we can be carried to heaven and find our eternal comfort in Him! This message was preached by Pastor Josh White on November 9, 2025.

It’s a curious passage. Sandwiched between two big parables about money, we find this little passage on how Jesus’ kingdom relates to God’s law, along with a single verse on divorce and remarriage. Jesus confronts the Pharisees’ habit of minimizing God’s law in order to justify themselves. But he’ll also confront us with his high view of marriage. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on November 2, 2025.

Happy Reformation Sunday. Hebrews 10:11-14 reveals to us 1. the futility of the Old Testament priest, 2. the finality of Christ, and 3. the implication for all believers. We have a lot to celebrate as we look to Scripture alone to rest on faith alone, by grace alone through Christ alone to the glory of God. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on October 26, 2025.

This week we’re going straight from one of Jesus’ most beloved parables to one of His least. Readers across the centuries have wrestled with this one, since at first glance it seems to condone dishonesty. It’s a good reminder that parables often have one central point—so we shouldn’t try to apply every detail literally. Let’s walk through this one together and see what Jesus wants us to learn. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on October 19, 2025.

Did you know that there are two ways to be lost but only one way to be found? In the parable of the Prodigal Son, it's actually both the younger brother and the older brother who are lost. One is lost to rebellion and one to self-righteousness, but both are equally lost. Doing all of the right things for the wrong reasons is equally as damning as living as a profligate. But the one way to be found is the same for both: God's mercy and grace through Jesus Christ the ultimate older brother. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on October 12, 2025.

What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus? What is the cost? In this passage we’ll see what it looks like to really follow Jesus and where we find the strength to do it. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on September 28, 2025.

This is the third and last time Jesus dines with the Pharisees. He confronts them during the dinner and points them to the greater kingdom feast to come. We’ll see that, knowing we have a seat at the table then, frees us to be humble guests and generous hosts now. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on September 21, 2025.

Look at the courage and compassion of Jesus. He is the narrow door, the only way into the kingdom. But, praise God, he's also an open door to any and all who will enter into him. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on September 14, 2025.

Have you heard of the "Already/Not Yet" Kingdom? In this passage, Jesus gives us a picture of what life in the Kingdom looks like—He heals, frees, and restores the true meaning of Sabbath rest and worship all in one miracle. And then, Jesus shares two parables to show us how this Kingdom will grow and spread. This message was preached by Pastor Josh White on September 7, 2025.

In the section, Jesus emphasizes the urgency of the kingdom. With His coming, a new urgency fell upon Israel—the kingdom had been revealed, the King had arrived. The question was: What will the crowds do with what they have seen and heard? This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on August 31, 2025.

With Jesus’ time on earth rapidly coming to an end, he prepares his disciples by teaching them how to live while he’s away. How do we love Jesus in his absence and at his return? The answer he gives here is: with perpetual readiness. We want to be ready to welcome Jesus with a huge, happy welcome. Don't we? That's what this passage is all about. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on August 24, 2025.

Do you ever worry about money? In this passage, Jesus shows us how foolish it is to trust in wealth and how wise it is to trust in God instead. He reminds us that one's life does not consist in the abundance of one's possessions. The security we desire from wealth can only be found in God. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on August 17, 2025.

Last week we saw the ferocious love of Jesus, as he pronounced woes on those who would use religion to keep us from finding hope in him. In this passage Jesus turns to his disciples and strengthens us to remain faithful in a world hostile to faith by warning us of the pitfalls of hypocrisy, fear of man and unbelief all the while providing promises for His kids with each warning given. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on August 10, 2025.

See how our Lord rebukes the Pharisees and Lawyers for their hypocrisy and for keeping people from knowing God. Through this intense dinner conversation, we will see the Lord's desire for people to know God. This message was preached by Pastor Gabriel Medina on August 3, 2025.

What does the sign of Jonah and the testimony of the Ninevites and the Queen of Sheba have to do with Jesus? In this passage we see that unbelief isn't really due to a lack of knowledge, it's a kind of intentional blindness which is only overcome as the Spirit reveals the greatness of Jesus. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on July 27, 2025.

What can we learn about Satan, demons, and the victory of Christ from Christ's own words in this passage? Here Jesus equips us not only to know the danger of our enemy, but also the power of our Deliverer. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on July 20, 2025.

The Lord’s prayer is all about asking and it is a school to teach us about what we should desire. What should we ask for? That God’s name should be honored; that His kingdom will come. We should ask for our daily needs—acknowledging our total dependence on Him for everything. We should seek forgiveness personally and as a community, and pray that we might be kept from falling into sin. How should we pray? Shamelessly. Continually. Our prayers never bother our Father in heaven. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on July 13, 2025.

God has always wanted friendship with His people. He created us for fellowship with Him. So what is the one we most need? To sit at Jesus feet listening to His word. Filling our lives with busyness at the expense of time with Him empties our soul. Jesus is the good portion, the better feast. Don't miss out; choose the good part. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on July 6, 2025.

The Parable of the Good Samaritan is not a Gospel story. It is not a story on how to be saved. It is a Law story. It confronts us with our own self-righteousness, beats us up, and leaves us in a ditch very much in need of a Savior. It is not about what we do; it is about what Christ has done. This message was preached by Pastor Josh White on June 29, 2025.

Though the disciples failures were many: failure of faithlessness, failure for seeking glory, failure of comparison, of rivalry and of vengeance, behold the patience of Jesus. He loved them;He chose them; He had a plan for them and the same holds true for you and me. This love, this patience will ultimately transform us into the image of our Savior. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on June 15, 2025.

"But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift." Spiritual gifts are a manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. After Christ's ascension and the sending of His Spirit to indwell His people at Pentecost, He measures out the gifts and the power we need to exercise our gifts. And as each part of the body is equipped and works together, the body grows and builds itself up in love. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on June 8, 2025.

Who is this Jesus who ascended on high? He is our High Priest, a high priest who sympathizes with us (having been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Whatever painful path you are on, Jesus has already been there. He is not only a High Priest who sympathizes with you, but also is one who can help you. And what kind of help does he offer? Mercy (forgiveness) and Grace to help in our time of need. Let us then with confidence draw near to Jesus, whether with our sin or our suffering. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on June 1, 2025.
