Defending the Gospel: Galatians 1:6-10

Though the Galatians had heard the good news and believed it, they were abandoning grace and distorting the Gospel. Paul writes with urgency to remind them of the truth they believed and defend the Gospel. Like the Galatians, we have a hard time with grace. Paul's words remind us of the free gift of grace.

The Good News: Galatians 1:1-5

There's one very important word in Galatians that's the key to the letter. It's the word, Gospel. When we hear that word, we might think of theology or ideas. When they heard that word, they thought of empire, life change, and good news. In this opening sermon on Galatians, Pastor Cole discusses the meaning of the Gospel and how it brought good news then and now to the world.

Freedom from Fear: Psalm 112

In Psalm 112, the author says something astonishing: "He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting in the LORD." In our world today, how can anyone live without the fear of bad news? Blake Bastin searches these psalms to find that the fear of the Lord is the only path to true freedom.

The Promises: Joshua 24

At the end of the book of Joshua, as they settle into the Promised Land, Joshua has some final words for the people. First, he reminds them to consider all that God has done for them, bringing them out of Egypt and into Canaan. Second, he urges them to put away foreign gods and commit themselves wholly and completely to the Lord.

The Miracle: Joshua 10

One of the greatest miracles in the Bible happens in Joshua 10; the sun stands still. Can we believe this? What was God teaching his people then, and what can we learn now?

The Harlot: Joshua 2, 6

The story of Jericho is well-known, but what about the message? God uses a set of unlikely people and unlikely methods to keep his promises.

The Leader: Joshua 1:1-11

The book of Joshua begins in a familiar place, on the banks of the Jordan River with Israel preparing to enter the Promised Land. Moses has died and a new leader will take them into the land of promise. Joshua means "God Saves" and his life and the book that bears his name will demonstrate this theme to God's people then and now. 

Come and See - Easter 2026

The stone wasn't rolled away for Jesus; it was rolled away for us. Easter is a personal invitation to life with God.

Forgiven: Romans 3:21-31

What happens when you become a Christian? Jesus Christ died to pay for our sins and rose to give us eternal life, but God does something else as well. He forgives our sins and restores our relationship. Now, he sees us through the lens of his Son and welcomes us back into his family.

The Rich Man and Lazarus

The Rich Man and Lazarus is the most unique among Jesus's parables. It's the only one with a named character and the only one that portrays the afterlife. It starts out with a simple reversal, but there's more to it than that. This parable is fundamentally about trust. Who will we trust? That will make all the difference now and in the life to come.
