Where should we find our identity? What should we chase after to give us a purpose? What will fill the hole in our lives? The world will tell you to follow your heart and do whatever makes you happy. As followers of Christ, we know we will never find anything more fulfilling than the name of Jesus Christ. This week Pastor Taylor Gabbert walks us through finding our identity through the Word of God...

In a world where it is difficult to trust and believe anyone, what does it look like to actually walk in belief in God? It is so easy for us to say we believe in God, but then ignore the path that He has laid out for us. Do you believe God will fulfill His promises? Do you believe that He will do what He says He will do? This week, Pastor Taylor Gabbert dives into the story of Abram learning that...

The message of Ephesians is a positive one reminding us that Christ is in charge of all, and that in Him we find our identity and our hope. This is played out through the unity and the belonging that is made manifest through the church, the body of Christ. In Christ we are blessed, and through the holy Spirit we are sealed with him, and all of this is put together according to the will of the Fath...

The world can seem overwhelming. It can be too big for us to handle or deal with on a day to day basis. The good news of the Bible is that we can put our hope in a God that is bigger than the worries of man. We put our faith in a God who controls all things and overcomes the world. This week Pastor Taylor Gabbert talks about individual faith in a big world from Genesis 14:1-24. Get Connected! http...

We are born in this world with sin stuck to us. We live our lives nailed to our sin. The Bible tells us the only way to rid ourselves of this sin is to nail it to the cross. This week Pastor Taylor Gabbert discusses the atonement for sin in the last message from the series "The Angry God" in Numbers chapter 25. Get Connected! https://linktr.ee/reachtulsa

In the New Testament Jesus tells us to remain in Him. What we often miss is that the choice to remain with God runs all the way back to the Garden of Eden. Our entire lives are revolving around this one question: will we reject or remain with God? This week Pastor Taylor Gabbert talks about Abram and Lot's decisions to remain or go forth from the land in Genesis chapter 13. Get Connected! http...

We often accuse God of not working because we can't see anything getting done. God won't tell us what's going on and we don't think He's doing anything. The reality is that God is working even when we can't see Him. Not only is He working, but His work is for our benefit. This week Pastor Taylor Gabbert talks about God's unseen power in a series from the book of Numbers...

Do you struggle with the idea that God's grace cannot save you? That you are just too bad? Or that God could not possibly love you? God made a decision to redeem humanity and that decision is not changed by mow much we mess things up. If our merits cannot earn us grace, then our lack of merit cannot lose us grace. This week Pastor Taylor Gabbert talks about God's decision to redeem us in G...

Who is Holy and what makes them so? The Bible talks a lot about holiness, but how do we actually become holy? The entire Bible is aimed at how God reconciles us to Himself. How can defiled humans come into contact with a holy God? This week Pastor Taylor Gabbert continues a series on the book of Numbers in Numbers 16:1-50. Get Connected! https://linktr.ee/reachtulsa

What does it mean to follow the Word of God? We know we are supposed to read the Bible, but how do I actually live by it? We often read the Bible as an academic pursuit and forget that God is trying to tell us how to live out His will. This week Pastor Taylor Gabbert talks about the patriarch of the faith in the March of Redemption in Genesis 12:1-9. Get Connected! https://linktr.ee/reachtulsa

God tells us in His word to keep our eyes on Him. We are supposed to live our life with our eyes fixed on the throne of Jesus Christ. But so often we get so distracted looking around that we let jealousy and division creep in. How does God feel when we stop looking to Him? What does the Bible say about how we reconnect with God after straying from Him? This week Pastor Taylor Gabbert explores the...

"Thy kingdom come, thy will be done" is a prayer almost everyone knows. What we often ignore is that we are building our own kingdoms in direct opposition to God's. When our little kingdoms come into conflict with God and His will, there is only ever one outcome. The Almighty God, even for our own benefit, will not let any kingdom stand against His. This week Pastor Taylor Gabbert ta...

Sometimes reading the Old Testament gives us a scary picture of who God is. Have you ever heard someone claim the God of the Old Testament and the God of the New Testament are different Gods? "The God of the Old Testament is all about wrath" is the charge. But when we look closely we can see the love of God among His people even in the Old Testament. This week Pastor Taylor Gabbert start...

What is the purpose of life? We are so easily distracted by the shiny toys and the desire to achieve. But what is the actual point of being alive at all? The point is to walk with the living God. There is nothing on earth or in all of existance that matters more than walking with God. This week Pastor Taylor Gabbert discusses the life of someone who walked so closely with God, he was no more, in G...

Generations after Adam the state of humanity has gone so far downhill that God decides to start over. But instead of wiping away everything He had made, He chose one righteous man to act as deliverer. That man was Noah.

How do we define success? Is success fame? Money? Power? The world has many definitions of success, but none of them come with us after we die. True success comes in being God. This week Pastor Taylor Gabbert discusses success with God in Joshua chapter 6, the battle with Jericho. Get Connected! https://linktr.ee/reachtulsa

After the fall of mankind came the fallout of what it meant to be enslaved to sin. In the Bible's first glimpse of life after sin the Bible shows us an act of fratricide effectively wiping out two sons of Eve who could have taken the seed of redemption into the next generation. But God will not be stopped. This week Pastor Taylor Gabbert talks about what it means to love God and other sacrific...

The fall of humanity is without a doubt one of the most tragic moments of the Bible and in all of human history. The paradise God created for us was lost in a moment of rebellion and slavery took hold. But before the dust could even settle from this climactic collapse, God promised to make it right. In the first moments after the downfall of humanity, God looked at His creation and said He would s...

The world wants us to not believe in God at all. But if there is a God, they want us to believe He is disconnected from our existence. He either created us and left or He's just too big to even care about what we have going on. The book of Genesis addresses these false claims from the very start. The same God who was powerful enough to create everything is the God of the Bible who cares for in...
