Covenant Grace Church

Come see how Jesus values children and their kind of faith, how their faith is an example of the kind we all need as adults. It’s a short passage, but deep. And it gives us an opportunity to see the wonderful approachability of Jesus. Jesus received kids. We receive Jesus as kids, and God receives us as his kids. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on January 18, 2026.

The parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector, in Luke 18:9-14, is one of Jesus’ famous parables. It’s an immensely helpful parable for rooting out self-righteousness. The problem is we can’t receive its benefits, if we assume we’re not the Pharisee. As you listen, pray for your own heart, that the Lord will reveal any self-righteousness, so that you can put your confidence, not in your own me...

"They ought always to pray and not lose heart," Jesus told his disciples. Why? Because His kingdom is an already but not yet kingdom. He knew His disciples would need to know how to navigate waiting for His ultimate return and the suffering and injustice they would experience in the meantime. We also need to heed God's call to pray often for justice and to place our faith in the one true just Judg...

Psalm 119 is a song written by a man who was absolutely obsessed with Scripture and a love for God's very words. Why does the psalmist love God's word so much? He loves the word because it makes him wise; he loves the word because it makes him strong for suffering; he loves the word because it sets him free. One of the most important habits we can build in 2026 is the habit of regularly consuming...

Revisit the familiar story of the Wise Men through three powerful images from the story in Matthew's Gospel: the Star, the Sword, and the Shepherd-King. Together, they help us see—perhaps with fresh eyes—the true glory of who Jesus is: the Cosmic Jewish King for all nations. Though opposed by evil and human rebellion, He triumps through sacrifical love, ultimately giving His life on the cross. Whe...

We have looked at our need for a King, the promise of a King and the family of the King. In this message we look at the making of a King. King Jesus is fully God and fully man, born of a virgin. Only in Him can we be saved from our sins. Will you receive this King? This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on December 21, 2025.

What can a genealogy tell us about Jesus, our King? It tells us that Jesus is a covenant keeping Messiah, a gracious Messiah and a redeeming Messiah. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on December 14, 2025.

Jesus is God's promised King. In Isaiah God promised coming joy: freedom from oppression and perfect peace. How did He accomplish this? "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given." Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of Isaiah 9. And while we await His second advent, we wait with a sure hope of the returning King. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on December 7, 2025.

Why did we need a King in the first place? Genesis 1-3 tell us the true story of the creation of a king, Adam, of the fall of that king, and of the promise of a better King, Jesus—not a human God made (like Adam), but God made human. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on November 30, 2025.

The Pharisees wanted the kingdom but they didn't want the King. The kingdom began with Christ's first advent and will fully come with his second advent. Jesus told his disciples His second coming will be a long wait, it will be obvious, it will be sudden, and it will separate believers from non-belivers. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on November 23, 2025.

The theme that runs through this passage is faith. Having faith in God and His promises gives us the ability to forgive others and follow Him. Jesus protects our faith, He nurtures our faith and He calls us to exercise our faith rooted in the grace He provides. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on November 16, 2025.

The parable of the rich man and Lazarus is a story of reversals—a tragic reversal for the rich man, and a gracious one for Lazarus. And it all points to the even greater reversal found in the gospel—where Jesus suffers the anguish and torment we deserve, so that we can be carried to heaven and find our eternal comfort in Him! This message was preached by Pastor Josh White on November 9, 2025.

It’s a curious passage. Sandwiched between two big parables about money, we find this little passage on how Jesus’ kingdom relates to God’s law, along with a single verse on divorce and remarriage. Jesus confronts the Pharisees’ habit of minimizing God’s law in order to justify themselves. But he’ll also confront us with his high view of marriage. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on...

Happy Reformation Sunday. Hebrews 10:11-14 reveals to us 1. the futility of the Old Testament priest, 2. the finality of Christ, and 3. the implication for all believers. We have a lot to celebrate as we look to Scripture alone to rest on faith alone, by grace alone through Christ alone to the glory of God. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on October 26, 2025.

This week we’re going straight from one of Jesus’ most beloved parables to one of His least. Readers across the centuries have wrestled with this one, since at first glance it seems to condone dishonesty. It’s a good reminder that parables often have one central point—so we shouldn’t try to apply every detail literally. Let’s walk through this one together and see what Jesus wants us to learn. Thi...

Did you know that there are two ways to be lost but only one way to be found? In the parable of the Prodigal Son, it's actually both the younger brother and the older brother who are lost. One is lost to rebellion and one to self-righteousness, but both are equally lost. Doing all of the right things for the wrong reasons is equally as damning as living as a profligate. But the one way to be found...

What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus? What is the cost? In this passage we’ll see what it looks like to really follow Jesus and where we find the strength to do it. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on September 28, 2025.

This is the third and last time Jesus dines with the Pharisees. He confronts them during the dinner and points them to the greater kingdom feast to come. We’ll see that, knowing we have a seat at the table then, frees us to be humble guests and generous hosts now. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on September 21, 2025.

Look at the courage and compassion of Jesus. He is the narrow door, the only way into the kingdom. But, praise God, he's also an open door to any and all who will enter into him. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on September 14, 2025.

Have you heard of the "Already/Not Yet" Kingdom? In this passage, Jesus gives us a picture of what life in the Kingdom looks like—He heals, frees, and restores the true meaning of Sabbath rest and worship all in one miracle. And then, Jesus shares two parables to show us how this Kingdom will grow and spread. This message was preached by Pastor Josh White on September 7, 2025.

In the section, Jesus emphasizes the urgency of the kingdom. With His coming, a new urgency fell upon Israel—the kingdom had been revealed, the King had arrived. The question was: What will the crowds do with what they have seen and heard? This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on August 31, 2025.

With Jesus’ time on earth rapidly coming to an end, he prepares his disciples by teaching them how to live while he’s away. How do we love Jesus in his absence and at his return? The answer he gives here is: with perpetual readiness. We want to be ready to welcome Jesus with a huge, happy welcome. Don't we? That's what this passage is all about. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on Au...

Do you ever worry about money? In this passage, Jesus shows us how foolish it is to trust in wealth and how wise it is to trust in God instead. He reminds us that one's life does not consist in the abundance of one's possessions. The security we desire from wealth can only be found in God. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on August 17, 2025.

Last week we saw the ferocious love of Jesus, as he pronounced woes on those who would use religion to keep us from finding hope in him. In this passage Jesus turns to his disciples and strengthens us to remain faithful in a world hostile to faith by warning us of the pitfalls of hypocrisy, fear of man and unbelief all the while providing promises for His kids with each warning given. This message...

See how our Lord rebukes the Pharisees and Lawyers for their hypocrisy and for keeping people from knowing God. Through this intense dinner conversation, we will see the Lord's desire for people to know God. This message was preached by Pastor Gabriel Medina on August 3, 2025.
