Punch Through the Turbulence (April 26, 2026)

We long for fresh starts, yet even after coming to Christ we can feel the pull to return to the same old sins and familiar ways. Romans 6:6–9 says our old self was crucified with Christ and that death no longer rules him—so what does that new standing mean for believers still facing temptation, failure, and the daily work of living for him?

Has God Forgotten to Show Up? (April 20, 2026)

You arrive early at the restaurant and order an iced tea while waiting for a friend whose advice you desperately need. One refill comes, then another, until the condensation has left the table damp and the agreed time is long past. An hour and a half later, you leave more dejected than when you arrived. Psalm 13 asks the same question that fills that silence: How long, O Lord?

Toast Falls, Life Rises (April 19, 2026)

We know we're going to die—it's as inevitable as buttered toast landing face-down—but Romans 6:5 asks whether that death has to mean the same thing it did before Christ.

Do We Need a Backup? (April 13, 2026)

When evil seems to be prospering, the temptation can be to find a backup plan instead of God’s way. Do we need one?

Dead to Sin, Alive to Mission (April 12, 2026)

A voyage to the moon can feel finished once splashdown comes and the pictures stop, yet those who flew it insist it is only the start. Romans 6 challenges us to see the same of Easter: we're not at the end of our old debt, but the beginning of our new life in Jesus.

It Really is OK (April 6, 2026)

Easter is God’s profound statement that He not only listens, but He also saves.

Everything Turns to Ash (April 5, 2026)

We are good at recognizing what is wrong—and remarkably bad at fixing it. Isaiah 1 warns that the strong become tinder and their work a spark, exposing every human effort we trust to make life secure and lasting. What hope does Easter offer when the things we build, the solutions we devise, and even our own strength end in ash?

The Last One (March 30, 2026)

We begin a new series in the Psalms tonight, looking at David’s lament in Psalm 12. What happens when we feel like evil has triumphed and whatever good we do is fruitless?

No Spiritual War Crimes (March 23, 2026)

We too often forget that the source is joyful and accept the far more mundane or depressing secondhand source.

Dumber Than an Ox: Building What Burns (March 29, 2026)

We love to DIY it, and those efforts can look impressive on the surface—but surface polish gives false confidence. Isaiah 1:30 warns that a life cut off from God withers like an oak without water. The question is whether we are still building kingdoms that burn, or rooting ourselves in the One who lasts.
