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.

Will You Feast With Me?

Are our meals merely occasions to refuel, or can they be opportunities for the gospel to be revealed? Come listen as Pastor Timon shows us from Luke 5:27-32 how Jesus reveals His love for sinners in the context of a meal with them.

The Human Condition

What does it mean to be human? This is the most pressing and divisive question of our day. Does it mean being true to ourselves? Does it mean being free from systemic oppression? Does it mean nothing more than being advanced organisms? The Bible’s answer is far more relatable and satisfying than any of those provided by our culture. But in order to understand it, we need to take a deep look at the doctrine of sin. Listen as Pastor Josh explains what these verses teach us about our fallen human condition.

Three Unchanging Truths About God

What the Bible teaches about the nation of Israel in the era of the New Testament is fundamental to how Christians respond to current world events. In this text, however, the Apostle Paul shows us that everything – including what we believe about Israel – is meant to serve the greatest purpose of leading us to know and worship God. Listen as Pastor Josh explains.

A Portrait of the Godly Woman

The Bible gives us many portraits of a godly woman. A helper for her husband. A wise and generous merchant. A radically devoted follower of Christ. These verses give us another portrait of a woman who intentionally dresses modestly and devotes herself to good works. Why is modesty important when it comes to femininity, and how do we teach about its importance to our children in a wise and helpful way? Listen as Pastor Josh teaches on how true modesty and true beauty must always be rooted in the gospel.

A Portrait of a Godly Man

What comes to mind when you think about masculinity? A well-dressed gentleman? A bearded hunter? A corporate executive? A muscular brute? Contrary to these popular depictions in our culture, this verse shows us that true masculinity is expressed in a life devoted to prayer. Listen as Pastor Josh explains.
