Pillar Church of San Antonio

Series: Other Sermons — Preacher: Jared Huntley — From Acts 18:9–11, this sermon addresses the fear that often keeps us silent about the gospel and reminds us that even Paul wrestled with the same struggle. God meets our fear with three powerful promises—His presence, His protection, and His sovereign power to save—giving us confidence to keep speaking. Because God is with us and actively saving sinners, we can boldly proclaim Christ, trusting Him with the results.

Series: Other Sermons — Preacher: Jared Huntley — In this sermon on Colossians 1:24, we see that the gospel often advances through believers who are willing to embrace discomfort for the sake of others. Paul shows us that suffering for Christ is not a burden to resent, but a joy to receive when it leads to the salvation of souls. We must get uncomfortable if we want others to get saved.

Series: James — Preacher: Andrew McDaniel — Our words are never neutral. They are always moving towards life or towards death. James warns us in James 3:1-12, then, that we must be mindful of our words because the tongue possesses great power and the potential for great destruction.

Series: James — Preacher: Andrew McDaniel — Does your life show evidence of faith that is genuine? In James 2:14-26, James explains that true, saving faith will be evident through visible good works.

Series: The Book of Mark — Preacher: Jared Huntley — The empty tomb changes everything. In Mark 16:1–8, we see that Jesus’ resurrection is good news for the skeptic, the sorrowful, and the scared. Because Christ is risen, our sin has been paid for, death is defeated and we are called to boldly proclaim that He is alive.

Series: The Book of Mark — Preacher: Jared Huntley — Good Friday may seem like a strange name for the day Jesus died—until you understand what His death accomplished. In this message from Mark 15:33–47, Pastor Jared unpacks what’s so good about Good Friday, showing how Jesus bore the wrath of God in our place and opened up unhindered access to God forever!

Series: The Book of Mark — Preacher: Jared Huntley — As we take in the sights and sounds of the cross in Mark 15:21–32, we’re confronted with both the horror of our sin and the depth of Christ’s love. Jesus endured suffering, shame, and reviling that rightly belonged to us—yet He did not come down. The horror of the cross was meant for you and me, but it was love that kept Jesus on that tree.

Series: The Book of Mark — Preacher: Eric Williams — In Mark 15:1-20 Jesus stands silent against his accusers throughout his suffering at their hands. In this sermon we are encouraged to show sacrificial love toward others, as we remember Christ's sacrificial love towards us.

Series: James — Preacher: Andrew McDaniel — In James 2:1-13, James shows us that favoritism is incompatible with true faith. He does this by revealing the foolishness of our favoritism and by revealing that our favoritism fails to extend the same mercy that Christ has shown us.

Series: The Book of Mark — Preacher: Jared Huntley — In Mark 14:43–72 we witness the darkest hour of Jesus’ earthly ministry. Judas betrays Him, the disciples flee, and Peter denies Him—yet Jesus remains faithful as He moves toward the cross. This sermon explores how, even amidst our fearful failures, Jesus faithfully restores repentant sinners and strengthens weak disciples to follow Him.

Series: The Book of Mark — Preacher: Jared Huntley — Mark 14:32-42: In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus poured out His soul before the Father in prayer as He prepared for the cross. But Jesus was not only preparing to take up His cross in Gethsemane, He was teaching us how to prepare to take up ours. In this passage, we see that Jesus’ prayerful victory in the Garden is cause for celebration and worthy of imitation.

Series: James — Preacher: Andrew McDaniel — James 1:19-27: As faithful followers of Jesus, James exhorts us that we are not to merely hear the Word, but receive it humbly and obey it faithfully.

Series: Other Sermons — Preacher: Jared Huntley — In this standalone message from 1 Timothy 3, Pastor Jared explores God’s design for deacons and why every healthy church needs them. Deacons are not merely helpers — they are Christlike servants who strengthen the church and help it flourish. Ultimately, this passage points us to Jesus, the ultimate Servant who gave His life for us.

Series: The Book of Mark — Preacher: Jared Huntley — Mark 14:12-31: On the night of His betrayal, Jesus shared the most important meal in history. In Mark 14:12–31, we see Jesus as the sovereign Savior, the substitute sacrifice, and the gracious Shepherd who gives Himself for weak and failing disciples. The Lord’s Supper helps us remember the cross, receive grace, and look ahead with hope to Christ’s return.
