Esther - Reading the Bible, Finding the Gospel
The Book of Esther is a dramatic story set in ancient Persia that reveals a profound truth: God is sovereign even when He seems silent. Though His name never appears in the book, His hand is visible in every detail, from a king's sleepless night to a queen's courageous act of intercession. Esther...

Nehemiah (Part 2) - Reading the Bible, Finding the Gospel
Nehemiah is one of the most practical books in the Bible, but it is also one of the most Christ-centered. Three major gospel threads run through this book, and each one reveals something powerful about who Jesus is and what He accomplished. The first thread is prayer and planning. Nehemiah prayed...
-
Nehemiah (Part 1) - Reading the Bible, Finding the Gospel
The Book of Nehemiah is far more than a leadership manual about rebuilding walls. It is the final historical snapshot of God's people before 400 years of silence, and it ends not in triumph but in collapse. Despite Nehemiah's remarkable faith, prayer, and sacrifice, the people's hearts could not...
-
Ezra (Part 2) - Reading the Bible, Finding the Gospel
The Book of Ezra is far more than an ancient historical account. It is a story woven with gospel threads that point directly to Jesus Christ. Three major themes emerge: Jesus as the Greater Temple who replaced a building with His own presence, generosity as a response to grace rather than a means...
-
Ezra - Reading the Bible, Finding the Gospel
The Book of Ezra is far more than a list of names and ancient history. It is a powerful testimony to God's faithfulness, His sovereignty over nations, and His commitment to keeping every promise He has ever made. God predicted the rise of King Cyrus by name more than 150 years before Cyrus was...
-
1 & 2 Chronicles - Reading the Bible, Finding the Gospel
First and Second Chronicles are among the most overlooked books in the Bible, but they were written with a deeply pastoral purpose. Ezra wrote to a people who had just returned from 70 years of Babylonian exile, discouraged and full of doubt, to remind them that God had never abandoned them. The...
-
Ecclesiastes - Reading the Bible, Finding the Gospel
Ecclesiastes is often misunderstood as a dark or depressing book, but it actually carries a profound and beautiful message. The central Hebrew word of the book, hevel, does not mean meaningless as many translations suggest. It means breath or vapor, pointing to the fleeting nature of life rather...
-
Our Mission & Vision
The church exists for a reason, and that reason is not ours to invent. Rooted in Scripture, the mission of the local church is built on three foundations: glorifying God, proclaiming the gospel, and making disciples. The gospel is not just the starting point of the Christian life. It is the fuel...
-
Proverbs (Part 2) - Reading the Bible, Finding the Gospel
True wisdom has nothing to do with intelligence or education. According to the Book of Proverbs, wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord, which is not terror but awe, reverence, and worship toward God. Every other fear leads to bondage, but the fear of God is the only fear that sets you free...
-
Proverbs (Part 1) - Reading the Bible, Finding the Gospel
Most people open the Book of Proverbs looking for good advice, but there is far more gospel woven into its pages than most of us have ever been taught. Wisdom, as Proverbs defines it, begins not in the mind but in the heart, rooted in the fear of the Lord. The Hebrew word for wisdom, chokma,...
-
Psalms (Part 4) - Reading the Bible, Finding the Gospel
The Psalms contain roughly 30 to 31 praise psalms, and they reveal that praise is far more than a feeling. It is a joyfully reverent, outward expression of adoration that exalts God for who He is and stirs others to do the same. Scripture gives a clear pattern for praise, including shouting,...
-
Psalms (Part 3) - Reading the Bible, Finding the Gospel
Follow along as Pastor Drew unpacks the Royal Psalms.
-
Psalms (Part 2) - Reading the Bible, Finding the Gospel
In this sermon, we explore the biblical pattern of lament found throughout the Psalms. Rather than seeing lament as a lack of faith, Scripture teaches that it is an act of faith. The lament psalms invite us to approach God honestly, teach us how to lament together as the people of God, and remind...
-
Psalms (Part 1) - Reading the Bible, Finding the Gospel
The Book of Psalms is far more than an ancient collection of songs and prayers. It is the most quoted Old Testament book in the New Testament, and Jesus Himself declared in Luke 24:44 that the Psalms must be fulfilled in Him. Across 150 chapters, four categories of Psalms point directly to…

1 & 2 Kings (Part 3) - Reading the Bible, Finding the Gospel
The books of 1st and 2nd Kings are not simply a record of failure and exile. They are filled with threads of the gospel pointing forward to Jesus Christ. Three of those threads stand out: syncretistic idolatry, the limits of religious reformation, and the lamp of David. Like Israel, we are not...
-
1 & 2 Kings (Part 2) - Reading the Bible, Finding the Gospel
The books of First and Second Kings reveal three powerful gospel threads that point directly to Jesus Christ. Solomon's magnificent temple, despite its grandeur, ultimately failed because the people remained sinful and the covenant was conditional. Jesus fulfills the temple by becoming the true...
-
1 & 2 Kings (Part 1) - Reading the Bible, Finding the Gospel
The books of 1 and 2 Kings reveal what God truly values in leadership: covenant faithfulness over political power or success. Despite centuries of unfaithful kings, God preserved a lamp for David, demonstrating that divine faithfulness outlasts human failure. These accounts expose the devastating...

1 & 2 Samuel (Part 2) - Reading the Bible, Finding the Gospel
The books of 1st and 2nd Samuel chronicle Israel's transition from judges to kings, featuring Samuel, Saul, and David.

-
1 & 2 Samuel (Part 1) - Reading the Bible, Finding the Gospel

-
Ruth - Reading the Bible, Finding the Gospel
The Book of Ruth reveals God's faithfulness during suffering through the story of Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz. After losing her husband and sons, bitter Naomi returns to Bethlehem with loyal Ruth, who refuses to abandon her. Ruth's devotion leads to marriage with kinsman redeemer Boaz, preserving the...
-
Judges (Part 2) - Reading the Bible, Finding the Gospel
The Book of Judges reveals how Israel fell into spiritual decline not by abandoning God, but by adding other gods to their worship. This pattern of 'Canaanization' shows how good things can become idols when elevated to God-level importance. Jesus taught that we cannot serve two masters - the...
-
Judges (Part 1) - Reading the Bible, Finding the Gospel
The Book of Judges reveals one of the darkest periods in Israel's history, marked by moral failure and spiritual compromise. Despite chronicling a devastating cycle of sin, oppression, and temporary deliverance, this difficult book points us toward our need for a perfect King. The flawed judges…

Joshua (Part 2) - Reading the Bible, Finding the Gospel
The book of Joshua reveals four powerful gospel threads that point to Jesus Christ. First, the memorial stones teach us about redemptive remembrance, showing how God wants each generation to share His story of faithfulness rather than just religious rules. Second, the inclusion of Rahab...
-
Joshua (Part 1) - Reading the Bible, Finding the Gospel
The Book of Joshua reveals Jesus as the greater Joshua who accomplishes what the Law could never do. While Moses could only bring Israel to the edge of the Promised Land, Joshua led them into their inheritance, just as Jesus leads us into spiritual victory. The name Joshua means 'Yahweh Saves,'...
