Entrenched In The Truth

Seven weeks ago we began a journey together — back to the blueprint, back to the foundation, back to what God actually designed the church to be. We have covered a lot of ground. We established that this church belongs to Christ and that He is its active Head. We examined the four devotions of the early church and asked whether we are genuinely devoted to them. We confronted the spectator culture...

Why did Jesus tell His disciples to wait — at the exact moment the most urgent mission in human history was beginning? In Week 6 of the Built series, Pastor Kevin Cox confronts one of the most counterintuitive truths in all of Scripture: the kingdom of God does not advance because the church works harder. It advances because the church depends more. Drawing from Zechariah's word to a discourag...

We are living in the loneliest moment in recorded human history. More connected than any generation before us — and more isolated than any generation before us. The U.S. Surgeon General has called it a public health epidemic. And into that exact cultural moment, the church carries one of the most countercultural claims in the world: a love for one another that the surrounding culture cannot produc...

What's the gap between everything you know about the Bible and actually living it? In this teaching from Joshua 1:8 and Psalm 1:1–4, Pastor Kevin Cox identifies the bridge God designed to move us from knowledge to transformation — biblical meditation. This is not Eastern emptying of the mind, but the ancient Hebrew practice of zakar (remembering), hagah (inward reflection), and siach (going over a...

Most people who attend church regularly have never once been asked to do anything more than show up and give. Attend the service. Enjoy the experience. Fill out a connection card. Come back next week. It is a model built for consumers — and it has produced exactly what every consumer model produces: people who are passive, dependent, and completely unprepared for the life of discipleship that Jesu...

What would it look like if a church stopped trying to improve on God's design and simply returned to it? In Week 3 of the Built series, Pastor Kevin Cox takes the congregation deep into Acts 2:42–47 — the most concentrated portrait of the early church found anywhere in Scripture. In one passage, Luke gives us four devotions that defined the first Christian community: the apostles' teaching...

Many Christians struggle with their identity in Christ. Because of that, they don't realize all that it means to be a child of God and the resources available to them to deal with distractions, struggles, disappointments and really life. Therefore, they’re constantly asking God for more of Himself, more power, more strength not realizing that they already possess the fullness of God. It’s not...

Every church claims that Jesus is in charge. The question worth asking — the one most churches quietly avoid — is whether He actually is. Not in the statement of faith. Not in the language used from the stage. But in the real, daily decisions that shape what a church preaches, how it spends its resources, what it prioritizes, and what it is willing to let go of when faithfulness costs something. ...

The modern church has inherited a model shaped more by the marketplace than by Scripture — a model built on experience, entertainment, and consumer preference that creates audiences instead of disciples. This series is a return to the blueprint. Over eight weeks, we will ground ourselves in what Christ designed the church to be, call every member to full surrender to Christ and active participatio...

On Resurrection Sunday we stood together at an empty tomb. We examined the witnesses, we weighed the evidence, The responses of those witnesses, and we were reminded that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is NOT a tradition we observe once a year — it is the central historical event on which the entire Christian faith stands or falls. We closed with an extraordinary promise: that because Jesus walk...

This Resurrection Sunday we walked through Mark 16 together and I was reminded of something that never gets old — the tomb isn't just empty. It's proof. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in every believer. Your resurrection isn't a hope or a wish. It's a certainty secured by an historical event. He is risen — and because He is risen, so shall we be

Forgiveness is not a feeling. It is a decision. It is an act of the will, grounded in theology, commanded by God, and made possible only by the grace that has already been extended to you. You do not wait to feel like forgiving. You choose to forgive because God, in Christ, chose to forgive you.

In a world that relentlessly chases happiness yet remains anxious, unstable, and dissatisfied, Scripture offers a far deeper and lasting joy—one that is rooted not in circumstances, but in the presence of God. In Psalm 16:8–11, we examine David’s confident declaration of joy, stability, and hope, even in the midst of uncertainty. This passage reveals our responsibility to intentionally set the Lor...

We have all struggled with a sense of emptiness or not belonging. Like there's a void in our heart. If you're like me, you've tried over and over again, unsuccessfully to fill that void which only caused deeper pain. It's my hope that this video will you begin the journey of restoration.

In a world saturated with spiritual confusion, competing philosophies, and counterfeit versions of Christianity, believers are continually pressured to move beyond Christ in search of something “more.” Yet Scripture is clear: everything necessary for spiritual life, growth, and stability is found in Him alone. In Colossians 2:6–7, the Apostle Paul delivers a concise but profound summary of the Chr...

Being a father means more than providing. It means protecting. This short message is a father speaking directly to other fathers about our responsibility to stand alongside our daughters—to guard their safety, dignity, and fairness in a world that increasingly asks them to compromise truth for comfort. This is not about anger or hate. It is about love, courage, and moral responsibility. Our daught...

We are launching our new podcast that will deal with real life issues, world events, and biblical studies through the lense of the Bible.
