Greetings and welcome! This is our daily devotional for October 1, 2026. Today, we continue our Exodus series in Chapter 8, where the plague of gnats befell Egypt and where Pharaoh's magicians testified to God's power. Make sure you're doing the same! Thanks for joining us.

Look • Listen • Live The message centers on God's gracious instruction in Numbers 15:37–41, where He gave Israel tassels with a blue thread as a visible reminder to look, remember, and do what He had commanded. The principle carries directly into our lives today: look to Jesus, listen to what He has said, and live by faith in what He gives us. We do not naturally drift toward obedience. Our hearts...

The sermon explores the transformative identity of believers who have moved from spiritual darkness into the light of the Lord, emphasizing that this change is not merely circumstantial but a fundamental shift in nature.

A verse-by-verse study through the book of James. As we wrap up our study on Godly verses worldly wisdom, we step into James chapter 4, which starts off with showing the fruit of a worldly wisdom that produces strife and confusion. Hear as Pastor Brian expounds these Scriptures.

This Bible study exhorts believers to spiritual alertness by examining the command in Romans 13 to awake out of sleep. The central argument posits that while physical lethargy is common, spiritual slumber among Christians is a serious condition that must be addressed through a renewed awareness of the approaching day of salvation. The text identifies the reasons for this wake-up call, emphasizing...

For four sessions we argued the case that the Christ is Jesus; in this final session we stop arguing and simply look, because there is a difference between examining a diamond's certificate and turning the diamond in the light. The chapter we turn is Isaiah 53, written seven centuries before Bethlehem, and we walk it slowly, stanza by stanza: the Servant God introduces, the Servant despised, the S...

Going through the Book of Daniel line by line

This sermon examines the theological status of Israel in light of Romans 11, arguing that God has not cast away His chosen people despite their rejection of the Messiah. The message outlines four key truths: God's initial choice of Israel, their subsequent unbelief, the existence of a saved remnant, and their future restoration. It emphasizes that the church's current role does not nullify God's e...

Every day we face a battle between truth and lies, fear and faith, but the good news is that we don't fight alone. Through Jesus, who has all authority, and the power of the Holy Spirit within us, we can stand strong against temptation, walk in the light, and experience freedom from sin, strongholds, and even generational patterns. We don't have to live in fear because God's truth, love, and the f...

The sermon emphasizes the necessity of diligent study and accurate understanding of God's Word, urging believers to move beyond superficial familiarity with scripture. It highlights the role of the pastor and the local church in providing sound doctrine that equips members to withstand error and engage with a culture marked by spiritual confusion and distress. The message argues that true faith is...

(1) Israel Watch 9/30/26: We discuss the BREAKING NEWS story (at the time of our study) of the FlyDubai flight Islamist Jihadist terror attack and the reality that the Islamic Death Cult presents to those who fly, have surgery, seek health care, etc. (2) About Gas Prices: The fact that our inflated gas prices as of the date of this recording was NOT due to the Iran War but do to high gas taxes, li...

As we come to 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, we see the Apostle Paul reminding the church of the grace they had been shown in the Gospel. We were once unbelieving sinners whose lives were marked by rebellion against God and all sorts of depravity. But now, we have been washed, sanctified, and justified through work of our Lord Jesus Christ. May we rejoice in this grace and pursue a life of faithfulness in...

In this episode, Assistant Pastor Ryan Ahlenius sits down with Pastor Cogbill and John Unger to discuss a question on 1 Timothy 3:11. The ESV translates 1 Timothy 3:11 as 'their wives', although a more faithful translation would be 'the women'. Is this verse referring to an office of deaconess? How does Titus 2 shed more light on women who serve the local church? How should we understand the uses...
