The Trinity Bible Church Podcast

What if the best person to tell your neighbor about Jesus... is you? Guest preacher Ryan Fontenot challenges us with a powerful and practical message on the vital sign of personal evangelism. In this message, Ryan reminds us that sharing the gospel isn’t reserved for pastors or professionals—it’s the calling of every follower of Jesus. Using real-life stories, Scripture, and a simple method called...

What do a car inspection, an Apple Watch, and a report card have in common? They all provide an evaluation. Car inspections check for safety and function, Apple Watches track fitness and health, and report cards show academic progress. Evaluations like these matter—but what about evaluating our spiritual health? Earlier this year, nearly 400 of us completed a Spiritual Health Survey. Starting this...

Moms carry so much—and often give even more. But Proverbs 11:25 reminds us that “the one who waters will himself be watered.” We'll hear encouragement straight from God’s Word: that you matter, you're never alone, and you have what it takes. Whether you're a mom, a caregiver, or someone constantly giving for others, you’ll be reminded that God sees you—and He gives grace to help you ke...

We all know what it’s like to overvalue the wrong things. Whether it’s success, approval, or comfort—we tend to place things on the throne of our lives that can’t hold the weight. In this message from Romans 1:21–25, we’re confronted with a hard but important question: Is God in His rightful place? This isn’t about statues or distant cultures—it’s about the quiet idols we allow to take root in our...

This message walks through Hebrews 12 to expose the habits, sins, and patterns that quietly pull us away from God. It shows how bitterness, distraction, and even good things can keep us from running the race well. With honesty and hope, we’re reminded that God's discipline is good, His holiness matters, and our endurance is worth it—because we’re running toward a kingdom that won’t shake. Foll...

After 22 weeks in the Gospel of Mark, we’ve come to the final chapter—and it ends in a way no one expects. The final verse in the earliest manuscripts leaves readers with fear, silence, and a lot of questions. Why would it end that way? And what are we supposed to do with it? Eric P. Kuykendall, PhD, Senior Pastor Follow Us Online Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/trinity_bible/ Facebook - htt...

This message digs into what it means to walk by faith when your feelings don’t match what’s true. Drawing from Hebrews 10–11, it reminds us that faith holds steady when we don’t see the outcome yet—and that God is pleased not by our comfort, but by our trust. Whether in sorrow, silence, or everyday obedience, He sees and rewards faith. Follow Us Online Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/trinity...

We’ve all experienced people or places that overpromised and underdelivered. But not Jesus. From healing the sick to calming storms, everything He said, He did—including His promise to rise again. In this Easter message from Mark 16, we see a love that braved the tomb and a Savior who followed through. His resurrection isn't just history—it’s hope. And it’s personal. Eric P. Kuykendall, PhD, S...

Session 1 opens the Anchored Conference with a look at the one thing that holds steady when everything else feels uncertain: Jesus Himself. Drawing from Hebrews, this message unpacks why He is better—better than our circumstances, our efforts, or any other source of strength. We see how His power, mercy, and presence are the foundation for real rest. Follow Us Online Instagram - https://www.instag...

In Mark 15, we see how people respond to Jesus in very different ways—some reject Him as King, others receive Him. One of those people is Simon of Cyrene, who was forced to carry Jesus’ cross. Was it just an inconvenient moment in his day—or could it have been the turning point of his life? This chapter reminds us that each response to Jesus matters, and sometimes, what feels like a burden is actu...

Peter said he’d never fall away. Even if everyone else did, he wouldn’t. But just hours later, he denied Jesus—not once, but three times. In Mark 14, we see how fear and pressure exposed what was really in his heart. It’s a sobering picture of human weakness—and a reminder that failure doesn’t have to be the end of the story.

If tables could talk, what stories would they tell? In Mark 14, we find two powerful scenes at two very different tables. The first table is at Simon the leper’s house, where a woman’s extravagant act of worship stuns everyone as she pours expensive perfume over Jesus. The second table is the Last Supper, where Jesus offers His body and blood to His disciples, even while betrayal brews in the room...

If there’s a wake-up call in the Gospel of Mark, it’s chapter 13. The urgent call to stay alert and on guard echoes throughout the chapter. As followers of Christ, watchfulness is essential as we face challenges and live in anticipation of His return. In Mark 13, Jesus lays out how we are to live with readiness and calls every believer to “stay awake.” Eric P. Kuykendall, PhD, Senior Pastor Follow...

What is God’s will for your life? When a religious leader asked Jesus this question, He summed up the entire purpose of life in one answer: Love God and love people. In Mark 12, Jesus teaches that these are not just suggestions—they are the foundation of what it means to follow Him. Are you living out your purpose? Eric P. Kuykendall, PhD, Senior Pastor Follow Us Online Instagram - https://www.ins...

Who has the final say in our lives? Jesus is confronted with questions about His authority—by religious leaders, political rulers, and skeptics. Through a series of encounters, He turns the tables, revealing who truly holds power over life, truth, and eternity. His answers still challenge us today: Are we living under God’s authority, or are we resisting it? John Morrison, TBC Elder Follow Us Onli...

If you knew this was your last week on earth, how would you spend those 168 hours? Would you make every moment count with loved ones? Would you rush to complete your bucket list? Would you mend broken relationships? In Mark 11, we see how Jesus spent His final week—and what truly mattered most. Eric P. Kuykendall, PhD, Senior Pastor Follow Us Online Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/trinity_bi...

Ever felt like you’re following Jesus but still can’t see where He’s leading? Or wondered why life feels so out of focus, even when you’re doing all the “right” things? In Mark 10, Jesus asks a life-altering question—“What do you want me to do for you?”—revealing spiritual blindness that often goes unnoticed. Whether it’s pride clouding our vision or life’s chaos leaving us in the dark, this messa...

Marriage is taking a hit! More people are delaying marriage, some are skipping it altogether, and divorce remains common—673,989 divorces were reported in 2022 alone. With so many opinions on marriage and divorce today, what does Jesus actually say? Is divorce ever okay? What about remarriage? In Mark 10, Jesus is confronted with these very questions, and His response challenges the way we think a...

Two words that Jesus addressed often—but are rarely discussed today—are sin and hell. In Mark 9, Jesus teaches His disciples about the seriousness of sin, where it leads, and the urgency of fleeing from it. His vivid warnings call us to take sin seriously in our own lives and to help others do the same by pointing them toward the hope and redemption found in Him. Eric P. Kuykendall, PhD, Senior Pa...

Halftime in sports is a chance to regroup, reset, and refocus—and Mark 8 serves a similar purpose in the Gospel. Positioned halfway through the book, it marks a turning point where Jesus reveals the cost of following Him. In this pivotal chapter, He challenges His followers to deny themselves, take up their cross, and fully embrace the path of discipleship. This moment calls us to pause and ask: A...

God’s plan to bless the nations has been woven throughout Scripture, from His promise to Abraham in Genesis to the vision of every tribe, tongue, and nation worshiping Him in Revelation. This blessing isn’t meant to stop with us—it’s meant to be shared, whether with neighbors or across the globe. As followers of Christ, we are called to make His saving grace known to all people, trusting Him to wo...

Our salvation through faith in Jesus Christ has many dynamics to it – such as our regeneration, redemption, reconciliation, and justification. But maybe the most tender and intimate of them all is our adoption. That will be our focus this Sunday.

2024 was a remarkable year at Trinity Bible Church. Construction on our new Worship Center began, we honored Pastor Sherm’s 25 years of ministry, and through the generosity of our congregation, many individuals and ministry partners were blessed. These moments are a reflection of God’s faithfulness. As we celebrate all He has done, we step into the new year with renewed confidence in His continued...

The New Year is a great opportunity to set new priorities. Are you considering any new priorities? What if your first priority in 2025 was prayer? In the New Testament there’s an overlooked individual described as a prayer warrior. To kick off the year, let’s look at this individual to discover what encouragement we might find to help make prayer more of a priority in 2025. Eric P. Kuykendall, PhD...

In seasons of loss and uncertainty, the story of the Israelites in 1 Samuel shows how God remains constant, even when His presence feels distant. Reflecting on His care and creating tangible reminders can help us trust Him through life’s challenges.
