This is the end of our great trek through Luke. It’s also the historic moment when Jesus ascended and handed off his mission to the disciples. They must have been so intimidated by the responsibility of taking the Gospel to the world, especially in light of all their weakness and failures. How will they do it, now that he’s gone? How will they live faithfully in a hostile world and be the voice of...

Let's look at what is perhaps the most fun of Jesus’ resurrection appearances, if we can even rank them that way. It’s Jesus’ appearance to his disciples on the road to Emmaus. Do you think Jesus enjoyed surprising them like that? They felt their hearts burning within them as the scriptures were opened and the bread was broken by their risen Savior. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb o...

What took place in the time in between Jesus’ death on Good Friday and his resurrection on Easter Sunday? We see how Jesus’ disciples loved him and sought to honor him in death. We see the hopelessness and sadness of that Holy Saturday and what God was doing when he seemed so absent. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on June 21, 2026.

Sentenced by Pilate to be crucified, Jesus is now led outside the city and is executed between two criminals. The scene, as Luke describes it, is chaotic, noisy, and full of emotion. As we follow along, we will witness the tender compassion and love of Jesus, the evil of humanity’s sin, and the astonishing grace of the salvation Jesus secures by offering Himself as once-for-all sacrifice for sin o...

Let's look at the trial of Jesus, where we’ll see how the sin of the religious leaders, Pilate, and Herod led to the death of Jesus. We’ll also see how God, according to His sovereign plan, was allowing and working through it all. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on June 7, 2026.

Because we’ve received the gift of the Holy Spirit, living in us, the Spirit can change us over time. I Timothy 4:7-10 shows us that grace is not opposed to effort; rather, godliness happens through training. Jesus himself practiced the Spirit empowered disciplines of solitude, dwelling in the Word, prayer, simplicity & fasting, Sabbath, service and gathering for worship. Because we have the Spiri...

What is Pentecost? What did the event look like and what does it mean? What was it like on the ground when Jesus sent His Spirit down? And how does that reality impact believers today? This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on May 24, 2026.

As we look at Judas’ betrayal and Peter’s denial of Christ, we’ll see Jesus’ patience and compassion in the face of some of the most personal and darkest sin in all of Scripture. And we will see how Jesus’ compassion leads us to repentance too. This message was preached by Pastor Josh White on May 10, 2026.

Enter the Garden of Gethsemane to see the agony of our Savior as the cross draws near. Jesus not only shows us that we ought to pray in our trials, He shows us because that is exactly what He did in His hour of greatest need. He goes to His Father; He is honest in His request; He does the Father's will, and He did it all as our substitute. He drank the cup of wrath so that we might drink the cup o...

Let's look at the drama that ensues after dinner the night before Jesus died. Right after Jesus institutes the Lord’s Supper, his disciples’ weaknesses come out in full force. We’ll reflect on how Jesus ministers to his failing friends. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on April 26, 2026.

In this Passion Narrative—the record of the last days of Jesus, his suffering, and his death— let's look at two preparations. While Jesus’ enemies prepare for His death, Jesus is preparing for Passover with His disciples. That ancient ceremonial meal has always pointed to him and our current sacrament of communion does in like manner. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on April 19, 202...

Let's look at Jesus’ prophecy concerning the destruction of the temple (Luke 21:5-38). We’ll see what that cataclysmic event says about the kingdom of Jesus and the way to God. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on April 12, 2026.

Where is your hope found when faced with death? Biblical hope is not wishful thinking. It is a certain expectation grounded in the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. The Lord has given us this text not only to give us hope in the face of death, but to equip us to give that hope to others. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on March 29, 2026.

Last week the religious leaders raised a theological dilemma they thought Jesus couldn’t answer. Well, he answered it. And now he’s got one for them to answer. Jesus will also teach his disciples not to follow the way of the scribes, but instead to follow another, most unlikely example. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on March 22, 2026.

On Tuesday of Holy Week, Jesus’ opponents try to trip him up with their trick questions, one political and one theological. Jesus' answers reveal their faulty assumptions. It’s a great display of the courage and genius of Jesus. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on March 15, 2026.

The parable of the Vineyard Owner’s Son from Luke 20:1-18 is a chilling tale of the killing of a beloved Son at the hands of wicked men. And, Jesus preaches this parable just days before going to the cross. It is a parable that shows us the heart of God in his patience toward us, but also the tragedy and wickedness of rejecting his authority over our lives in Christ Jesus. This message was preache...

Last week we saw the joyful, triumphant entry of Jesus the King in Luke 19. This week we see the sudden and disturbing change of mood. Celebration suddenly turns to sobbing.

Jesus came to seek and save the lost. Though some have seen Zaccheus’ determination as the main point of this passage, it’s really about the sovereign call and transforming power of Jesus. He called out to Zaccheus; He invited Himself to his home; His grace stirred Zaccheus' heart to repentance. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on February 8, 2026.

Jesus is just about to make the steep trip up to Jerusalem, where he’ll spend his last week before the cross. But first, he makes a brief stop in Jericho. And as he enters the city, he hears the cries of a blind beggar—a man who knows way more about Jesus than anyone would expect. He knew Jesus's identity; he experienced His kindness, and he knew of His kingdom. This message was preached by Pastor...
