The Silence of God

William Blackstone wrote, “It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer.” We know that it is a grave injustice for someone to be punished for something that they did not do, and yet this is what Jesus was willing to do for us on the cross. He bore the false witness of His accusers in silence, laying down His right to justice so that those who trust in Him could be saved from God’s justice. Listen as Pastor Josh preaches on how Jesus’ silence speaks a tender word of love to all who come to Him.

Why We Should Love the Church

How should we view the church? Is it simply where we’re supposed to go if we are to be “good Christians”? Is it an optional add-on to our personal spiritual lives? Is it just a flawed human institution? This text teaches us that the church is the precious bride of Christ. He loved her. He died for her. He cleansed her. He nourishes and cherishes her like he would his own body. Listen as Pastor Josh teaches on why this is enough to help the Christian love the church despite its flaws and imperfections.

Checkpoint: A Reminder For Life Together

Are you growing in the knowledge of God? Are you also growing in your love for God and for one another? As we approach God’s word through reading and listening, are we just learning information or are we being changed by the power of the Spirit through the word of God? Listen as Pastor Steve Bice helps us pause and consider these two checkpoints as we aim to be both hearers and doers of the word.

Where Love Comes From

How do we grow in love for God and others? This story about a sinful woman forgiven by Jesus shows us that it comes from knowing how much God has forgiven us in Christ. Jesus said, “He who is forgiven little, loves little” (v. 47). The more we know of Christ’s forgiveness, the more we will love him. But the only way we can know of Christ’s forgiveness is to know more of our sin. Listen as Pastor Josh explains where love comes from.
