Avenue T Church of Christ Sermon & Bible Class Podcast

On Sunday morning, March 22, 2026, Cole Tuck led the class into Romans 13, shifting deeper into the practical application section of the book. After laying a theological foundation in chapters 1–11 and a rapid-fire call to Christian living in chapter 12, Paul now addresses a challenging and often uncomfortable topic: the Christian’s relationship to government authority. The lesson emphasized that...

Why does suffering exist? Why would a loving God allow pain and hardship in the world? In this sermon titled “Suffering Like Jesus,” Cole Tuck explores what the Bible teaches about suffering and how Christians are called to respond when life becomes difficult.  Jesus Himself experienced suffering, not only to bring salvation to the world but also to show believers how to endure hardship with faith...

On Sunday, March 15, 2026, Cole Tuck continued our Bible class study through the book of Epistle to the Romans, focusing on Romans 12:14–21. In this passage, the apostle Paul explains how Christians should respond to persecution, conflict, and hostility. Rather than seeking revenge, believers are called to bless those who persecute them, pursue peace with others, and overcome evil with good. This...

On Sunday, March 8, 2026, Cole Tuck presented a powerful sermon examining what Scripture teaches about baptism and why it matters so deeply for every believer. In a world where many different ideas exist about baptism, the lesson focused on going back to the Bible itself. Scripture teaches that baptism is more than a religious ceremony involving water—it is an appeal to God for a clean conscience...

On Sunday morning, March 8, 2026, Cole Tuck led our Bible class through Romans 12:9–13, where Paul shifts from the deep doctrinal teaching of Romans 1–11 to the practical way Christians are called to live every day. Paul presents a rapid-fire list of virtues that describe a transformed life: Love sincerely—without hypocrisy • Hate what is evil and cling to what is good • Be devoted to one another...

On Sunday morning, March 1, 2026, Cole Tuck continued his sermon series examining the difficult and often misunderstood subject of Christians and violence. Building on the previous week's lesson, he reminded the congregation that followers of Christ are called to live lives characterized by peace, gentleness, and restraint rather than retaliation. While the world often equates strength with power,...

On Sunday, March 1, 2026, Cole Tuck led the morning Bible class through the concluding verses of Romans chapter 11 and the opening of chapter 12. The lesson emphasized the unity of all people under God’s mercy and the call for Christians to respond to that mercy with transformed lives. Paul’s message in Romans makes it clear that both Jews and Gentiles are equally in need of God’s grace. No group...

In a world saturated with violence, from global wars claiming over 240,000 lives in 2025 (including major conflicts in Ukraine, Sudan, Palestine, and Myanmar), to tens of thousands of murders and millions of assaults annually in the U.S., and staggering abortion numbers, this sermon confronts how Christians should respond biblically. Cole begins by affirming that God hates violence, especially aga...

In Romans 11, Paul addresses the complex relationship between Jews and Gentiles in God's redemptive plan, emphasizing that Israel's partial hardening and rejection of Jesus as Messiah is not permanent or final. Far from abandoning His people, God has used this stumbling to extend salvation to the Gentiles, provoking Israel to jealousy and ultimately aiming for their restoration. Through the powerf...

The sermon "Jesus: In Context" by Cole Tuck, delivered on February 15, 2026, concludes a series addressing commonly misused statements of Jesus. This final message focuses on Matthew 18:20 ("For where two or three have gathered together in my name, I am there in their midst"), correcting the widespread misconception that it guarantees God's presence only in groups of two or more (e.g., small gathe...

On Sunday, February 15, 2026, Cole Tuck led our morning Bible class, diving into Romans 10 (with a brief preview of Romans 11). The discussion centered on Israel's zeal for God without true knowledge, their pursuit of righteousness through works instead of faith in Christ, and the simple, accessible gospel: belief in the heart and confession with the mouth that Jesus is Lord leads to salvation (Ro...

In this lesson from the "Jesus in Context" sermon series, Cole Tuck addresses the often-misunderstood promise in Matthew 7:7, "Ask, and it will be given to you", within the broader context of the Sermon on the Mount. Far from portraying God as a cosmic vending machine or supporting prosperity gospel ideas, Jesus teaches persistent, relational prayer modeled on a loving father-child dynamic. Cole h...

In his February 1, 2026, sermon titled "The Truth Shall Set You Free," Cole Tuck masterfully unpacks John 8:31-32, challenging the cultural misuse of Jesus' words as a call to embrace subjective "personal truth" for self-fulfillment. Instead, Cole reveals it as a profound process: true disciples devote themselves to God's objective Word, discover divine truth therein, and experience genuine freedo...

Sunday Febru The Bible class led by Cole Tuck on Sunday, February 1, 2026, focused on Romans chapter 9, a dense and theologically weighty passage often cited in discussions of Calvinism.
