    Two Cycles: What You Live, They Inherit

    April 19, 2026 - In Deuteronomy 6:10–25, Moses warns Israel of two paths: the cycle of drift and the cycle of remembering. When God is forgotten, hearts turn, lives drift, and the next generation inherits confusion. But when God’s saving work is remembered, it leads to worship, trust, obedience, and a faith worth passing on. This sermon calls us to examine what our lives are teaching and to anchor our faith in the story of redemption we’ve received in Christ.

  2. 141

    The Greatest Commandment

    April 12, 2026 - This message is what Jesus Christ calls "The Greatest Commandment of the Law." Confessing this passage is swearing allegiance to God and yoking yourself to the Kingdom of God. It is all of his commandments, for all of life, giving all of yourself, in all contexts.

  3. 140

    The Voice from the Fire

    April 5, 2026 - This message traces the dramatic story of the Exodus to the giving of the Ten Commandments, showing how God revealed Himself in fire and covenant. It explores why God gave the Law: to restrain evil, reveal our sin, and guide believers into a life of worship. Ultimately, the Law points us to our need for a mediator—fulfilled in Jesus Christ—who perfectly kept it on our behalf. Because of the resurrection, we now live not under condemnation, but in grace, empowered to walk in obedience as God’s people.

  4. 139

    Keep Your Soul Diligently

    March 29, 2026 - God has revealed his will, and our responsibility is to guard our souls by submitting fully to His Word—neither adding to it, subtracting from it, nor forgetting it. In a world full of idols competing for our attention, we are called to wholehearted obedience that resists distraction and reflects God’s wisdom. As we live this way, our lives become a testimony that displays His glory to the watching world.

  5. 138

    Deuteronomy 3:18-29

    March 22, 2026 - Moses’s goal is Deuteronomy is neither to simply deal out commands nor to merely rehearse history. Rather, for Moses, God’s faithfulness and mighty works ought to motivate obedience in His people. Amazingly, this is true even in a new land into which Moses himself will never enter. Brother John Burgess uses this passage to demonstrate that God’s call to the church is to all join in serving the common good of the church. Yet, in doing so, no man or human leader is above the Word of God.

  6. 137

    Deuteronomy 1-3

    March 15, 2026 - Disobedience plagued God’s chosen people, causing an entire generation to die without seeing the Promised Land. Moses must now preach to a generation born and raised in a great and terrifying wilderness, recounting these instances of choosing fear over faith and self over servanthood. Brother RJ Stokes summarizes Moses’ first sermon with two simple points: disobedience is rooted in unbelief and disobedience always has a cost.

  7. 136

    Deuteronomy: Worship from the Heart

    March 8, 2026 - Deuteronomy is spoken to God’s people as they stand on the edge of the Promised Land, looking toward the future God has prepared for them. Moses reminds them that they are a covenant people—redeemed by God’s grace and called to love Him with all their heart. As they prepare to enter the land, the book teaches how God’s people must live: learning His Word, caring for the vulnerable, and faithfully representing Him before the nations.

  9. 134

    A Lesson in Warcraft

    February 22, 2026 - The Christian life is not defined by peacetime but wartime, and God has equipped believers with His own armor—truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the Word—to stand firm against the deceptive and destructive schemes of Satan. Victory does not come through human strength but through persevering in the Lord’s power, putting on Christ’s virtues, and wielding Scripture as the Spirit’s sword until the day our armor is exchanged for robes of glory.

  10. 133

    Worshipers in Union

    February 15, 2026 - Paul teaches that a Spirit-filled life necessarily reshapes the home, calling wives to joyful, Christ-centered submission and husbands to sacrificial, Christlike love.

  11. 132

    Life Ordered Under Christ

    February 8, 2026 - Ephesians 6:1–9 shows us that the problem is not authority itself, but authority disconnected from Christ. Paul teaches that Christ redirects submission upward, restrains authority downward, and unites both under His lordship—so that obedience is dignified, authority is accountable, and everyday relationships are reordered by grace.

  12. 131

    The Freedom of Walking Wisely

    February 1, 2026 - The Freedom of Walking Wisely calls Christians to examine how they order their lives by walking with God in wisdom rather than drifting with the world’s pace or values. From Ephesians 5:15–21, Paul shows that God redeems three precious gifts—time, understanding, and pleasure—by freeing them from the idols of efficiency, autonomy, and excess, and reordering them under the Spirit’s rule. True wisdom is lived out in patient faithfulness, joyful worship, grateful hearts, and mutual submission within the life of the church.

  13. 130

    Ephesians 5:8-14

    January 18, 2026 -

  14. 129

    Calibrating Our Loves

    January 11, 2026 - Ephesians 5:1–7 teaches us that spiritual maturity is not primarily about knowing more, but about loving rightly—loving God above all, and everything else in its proper place.

  15. 128

    Social Virtues for Healthy Churches

    January 4, 2026 - Because God has decisively acted for us in Christ - redeeming us, sealing us by the Spirit, and giving us a new identity - Christians are called to actively put off old social vices and put on new social virtues that preserve the unity, integrity, and witness of the local church. Sanctification requires both grace and effort, grounded in gospel assurance, not self-salvation.

  16. 127

    New Clothes For a New Year

    December 28, 2025 - Ephesians 4:17-24

  17. 126

    The End for Which the Church Exists

    December 21, 2026 - This passage teaches that the purpose of the local church is spiritual formation—corporate growth toward unity in the faith, maturity, and Christlikeness. Paul shows that this formation is essential because it produces stability against false teaching, integrity in speaking the truth in love, maturity in growing into Christ together, and responsibility as every member contributes to the health of the whole body. When the church is oriented toward this goal, it grows in love, faithfulness, and visible witness to the glory of God.

    A Delightful Life

    December 7, 2025 - A delightful, flourishing Christian life—like the Psalm 1 tree—flows from God’s supernatural calling, grows through cultivated individual virtues, displays itself in Spirit-maintained unity, and brings your life into equilibrium with the worth of the gospel.

  20. 123

    The End of Theology

    November 30, 2025 -

  21. 122

    The Cosmic Significance of Personal Ministry

    November 23, 2025 - Your personal ministry is God’s theater, where He displays His grace, power, riches, and wisdom to the world—and even to cosmic powers.

  22. 121

    A Stewardship of Grace

    November 16, 2025 - Paul teaches Christians are not merely saved by grace but were entrusted with a “stewardship of grace;” works that God planned for you to walk in long before he created you. This is a message that humbles believers under the weight of responsibility but also fuels a sense of urgency and responsibility in living for God. You received grace, were entrusted with grace, and now you must steward grace in your service to the world.  You must follow the passion and conviction of saints like John Knox who exclaimed, “Give me Scotland or I die!”

  23. 120

    The Eternal Dwelling of God

    November 9, 2025 - The unity and “togetherness” of the church is the theme of Ephesians 2:19-22 which Paul communicates through three beautiful and intentional metaphors: You are citizens in God’s kingdom, children in God’s household, and living stones in God’s temple. God is constructing a building which is more beautiful than the Temple of Artemis, one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world. He will elaborate on how that building is his church.

  24. 119

    Ephesians 2:11-18

    November 11, 2025 - Since 2001, Raleigh Sadler has served in Christian ministry. Currently, he is the founder and executive director of Let My People Go. His passion is to see the local church fight global injustices, like human trafficking, by loving those most vulnerable.

  25. 118

    Grace From Start to Finish

    October 26, 2025 - Ephesians 2:8–10 reminds us that salvation is completely the work of God — from beginning to end. We bring nothing but our sin; He gives everything through grace. We’re not saved by good works but for them, as His workmanship — His masterpiece — created in Christ Jesus to walk in what He’s already prepared. Grace saves, grace humbles, and grace transforms.

  26. 117

    Ephesians 2:1-7

    A Prayer for Those Who Have Everything

    Note: Due to a technical malfunction there is a short gap in this recording. We apologize for any inconvenience. October 5, 2025 - Paul models "sensible" praying and "true prayer": praying with the Spirit and with the mind. He prays for one thing for this congregation who already has been given every spiritual blessing in Jesus Christ, namely, spiritual deepening. That they may know the hope of their calling, God's glorious inheritance in the saints, and the immeasurable greatness of his power.

    Christ your Redeemer: Prophet, Priest, and King

    September 21, 2025 - The Divine Dilemma, "How can God be just and the justifier of the wicked?"

  31. 112

    A Sentence Begun in Eternity

    September 14, 2025 - Ephesians 1:3-6 is one of the richest passages in all of the New Testament. The apostle Paul begins to unpack the depth of what is meant when God says that you are saved by grace or when he says that you have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. It is a vast and deep ocean of meaning, and warm and comforting in its application.

  32. 111

    Defined By Relationship

    September 7, 2025 - This sermon introduces the book of Ephesians with its diverse themes and unique style. The message reveals why Ephesians is known as the “Queen of the Epistles” and the “divinest composition of man.” Paul begins the letter by identifying himself and his recipients according to their relationship to God in Christ.

  33. 110

    Romans 15:20-21

    August 31, 2025 - Dr. Elbert Smith is the Director of the Tom Elliff Center for Missions at Oklahoma Baptist University.

  34. 109
  35. 108

    The Reply of a Thankful Heart

    August 17, 2025 - As Pastor Aaron Hembree preaches this morning from Psalm 40, we praise, with David, the God whose wondrous deeds are past, present, and future. As our hearts overflow with the many blessings God has given our church, is giving, and will give our church, we Christians ought to declare with David, “I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told.”

  36. 107

    Fighting for Hope

    August 10, 2025 - In the midst of the deepest seasons of depression, the Scriptures do not leave us alone in even these emotions. As the soul of the believer involuntarily longs for communion God yet laments at the drowning troubles of this life, the psalmist gives the pattern of lament: remind your very soul to hope and praise in God.

  37. 106

    An Advocate for the Righteous

    July 27, 2025 - Join us as Pastor Aaron Hembree preaches from Psalm 5. The words of David give us a living illustration of what a Christian ought to do in the midst of enemies’ hatred, persecution, and cultural pressure. David gives a plea to be heard, a plea to be led, a plea for justice, and a plea for just reward, each of which can only be granted by our King and our God to those who follow Him in His righteous way.

  38. 105

    A Climactic Vision of Future Glory

    July 20, 2025 - The final chapter reveals seven marks of true worship. Isaiah brings the books overarching themes to a head in a climactic vision of future glory. He shows that Christians are men and women who have been given hope and our hope culminates in eternal worship.

  39. 104

    Jesus: Compassionate Healer and Consuming Fire

    July 13, 2025 - Isaiah 63 forces Christians to embrace the metaphors of Jesus as both lion and lamb. The Son of God is portrayed in these verses as a conquering warrior and consuming fire as well as a humble shepherd of his people who does not leave us or forsake us when we grieve his Holy Spirit.

  40. 103

    Coming Home to God

    June 29, 2025 - The application of these verses is summed up in the first two words – arise and shine. The whole chapter is written to the future city of God. God will gather the elect from all over the earth, along with the exotic goods (the “glory”) of every nation, and make his city beautiful. It will be a city worth of our future glory, and more importantly, his. His intention is “to make the place of his feet beautiful (v. 13)” and ultimately it is because he himself is beautiful and glorious.

  41. 102

    The Currency of God's Kingdom

    June 22, 2025 - The word “righteousness” is central to theme of the Bible and to the gospel itself. God’s people must come clean with the thought that there is tremendous unrighteousness poisoning the world and they are the ones responsible for it. In their humility and at the moment of their confession of sin, God sends the powerful image of a warrior. When none is righteous in the world, God puts on the breastplate of righteousness and brings the salvation of sinners himself.

  42. 101

    True Righteousness

    June 15, 2025 - It is possible to seek God daily, delight to know his ways, to pray for righteous things, and to miss what delights the heart of God entirely. Scripture gives us examples of Christian heroes; God reveals his hearts, loves, and delights to us, but the church misses these things for what they deem to be more impressive. God reminds the church in this chapter that pure and undefiled religion is caring for the most vulnerable in society and loving them as we love ourselves. A life lived according to these desires is blessed, and is a life God delights in.

  43. 100

    Build up, build up, prepare the way

    June 8, 2025 - In Isaiah 57, God illustrates again his intentions to show mercy and compassion to the broken hearted. He does not break bruised reeds or quench smoldering wicks. In the illustration of this passage, Isaiah is a construction foreman calling men to prepare a highway. The goal is to connect God’s two addresses—his two dwelling places: the throne room of heaven and the heart of a broken sinner.

  44. 99

    A House of Prayer for All Nations

    June 1, 2025 - The proclamation of the gospel is never complete without an invitation to come to Jesus Christ. Following chapter 53 and outlining the work of the Suffering Servant, Isaiah makes the call to everyone to come to Jesus Christ. He issues the invitation, he confirms the terms, he attends his invitation with a promise, and then shows the fruit of coming to faith.

  45. 98

    An Invitation to Grace

    May 25, 2025 - Isaiah 55 is a legendary chapter and a favorite of the church throughout its history. The gospel as preached by Isaiah is an identical to the New Testament gospel which is never complete without the call to respond. Isaiah commands everyone, everywhere, to repent and believe in the Servant King. He gives the terms of coming to this King. The promise attached to it. And then he proclaims the wonderful fruit of conversion.

    The Servant of God, The Light of the World

    May 4, 2025 - We dive into the second of the four “Servant Songs” in Isaiah 49:1-13.

  49. 94

    Carved Lies vs. The Living God

    April 27, 2025 - We’re diving into Isaiah 44:9-20, where the Bible roasts idols and how we chase after things that can’t help us. It’s a wake-up call. We see three big ideas: (1) Idols Are Nothing and Those Who Make Them Are Blind, (2) Idolatry is Self-Made and Self-Serving, and (3) Idolatry Blinds the Heart and Starves the Soul. Whether it’s success, approval, comfort, or control, this message hits home. God doesn’t just call out our false gods—He offers something way better: Himself.

  50. 93

    Comfort and Redemption

    April 13, 2025 - Isaiah 40 is a mountaintop passage, quoted by Peter, John, and every Gospel writer in the New Testament. It is meant as a source of encouragement and comfort. The source of comfort is not what is expected—we are comforted by glory. The glory of redemption, the glory of the Son of God, the glory of the Word of God, the glory of each person of the Trinity, and finally the glory of his mercy and grace.
