Listen as Pastor Tim walks us through these passages from the book of John.

The Betrayal of Jesus

Betrayal. It’s one of the hardest, most painful experiences we can have. We wonder, “What good could ever come out of this?” In this Good Friday sermon, Pastor Josh reminds us that Judas’ betrayal of Jesus is a central part of the gospel narratives. It was the act that set Jesus’ arrest, trial, and eventual crucifixion into motion. Jesus knew that it was coming, and yet he didn’t intervene to stop it. Why? Listen as Pastor Josh explains.

A Singing Community

What values should shape our times of singing together? How should we sing? What should we sing? We may think that decisions like these should be pragmatically driven (what works?), but they’re really supposed to be theologically driven (what’s true?). Listen as Pastor Josh teaches on the three dimensions of singing.

Bring Them to My Banquet!

Three Gospel Words

The gospel is more than just the good news of what God has done to save us. It’s also the good news of what God has done to justify us, redeem us, and propitiate his wrath against us. What do all these words mean, and why do they matter? Listen as Pastor Josh teaches on the immense significance of these three gospel words.

Righteousness Revealed

Contemporary evangelical presentations of the gospel almost always center on God’s love. But as the Apostle Paul begins his first explanation of the gospel in the Book of Romans, he begins with God’s righteousness. What is God’s righteousness, why does it matter, and what difference does it make to our lives? Listen as Pastor Josh explains.

God’s Courtroom

What awaits us when we die? Philosophers speculate. Hedonists don’t care. Christian singers can only imagine. Thankfully, Scripture doesn’t leave us to our imagination and reveals that it’s not a fluffy cloud, a train station, or even paradise. It’s a courtroom. God is the judge, His Law is the standard, and we are on trial. How will the scene unfold? Listen as Pastor Josh teaches us what these verses reveal about God’s courtroom.

Symptoms of the Sinful Heart

In this text describing the depravity of our sinful nature, it is revealing that the Apostle Paul fixates on sins involving words. That is because it is our words that reveal the true state of our hearts (Luke 6:45). Listen as Pastor Josh shows us how the gospel can give us new hearts that overflow into new and life-giving words.
