Covenant of Grace Messages

Most of us assume that doubt disqualifies us. But in John 20:24–31, Jesus doesn't rebuke his most skeptical disciple — he pursues him. Through locked doors, with grace before confrontation, the risen Christ meets Thomas at the exact point of his doubt and draws out the greatest confession in the Gospel. This Easter, there is good news for everyone who has struggled to believe.

If we are honest, Evangelical Christianity in the US is not especially healthy - not marked by unity, rather it is riddled with division. It has a weak grasp on the Gospel. Political idolatry on the left and right, error in sexual ethics and biblical anthropology and worldliness all plague churches in the US. The book of Ephesians comes to the rescue. A healthy application of Ephesians 4:1-16 may...

In a world that promotes acceptance and belonging, where does truth fit in? That was a question the church in Pergamum was confronted with by the risen Christ. This courageous church was tempted to drift from truth and compromise their faith. This week, we'll see the importance of remaining faithful amid outside pressure while guarding against the enemy's internal attacks inside the church.

The church in Smyrna suffered persecution and reproach in a culture hostile to the Gospel. Jesus' words to the Smyrneaens are vital for us today. For all its poverty, suffering and sorrow, and in part due to it, the church in Smyrna is one of just two churches to receive only commendation from Jesus and no rebuke. If we are to remain faithful to the end and receive commendation from Christ, we mus...

What if a church could be strong in truth and still be drifting from Christ? The church in Ephesus was hardworking, discerning, and unwavering in doctrine. Yet Jesus exposes the one thing they had lost: their first love. In this passage, we see both the danger of spiritual drift and the gracious invitation of Christ to return to Him.

What if the greatest need in your life right now isn’t a change in circumstances—but a clearer sight of Christ? In Revelation 1:9-20, the curtain is pulled back, and we are given a breathtaking vision of the risen, reigning Jesus in His present glory. This passage invites us to lift our eyes from lesser things and behold the Glorious Christ who steadies suffering saints and commands our worship.

When the winds rise and the waves begin to crash, what keeps a ship from drifting into disaster? In Revelation 1:4–8, John does not begin with beasts or timelines, but with an anchor—grounding suffering churches in unshakable certainty about who God is and what Christ has done and will do. This passage calls us away from curiosity about the future and into confidence that holds fast in the present...

What if the book of Revelation isn’t meant to spark speculation—but to strengthen your soul? In this opening message from Revelation 1:1-3, we discover that this final book of the Bible was written not to satisfy curiosity about the future, but to fortify Christians for the present. Through vivid imagery and heavenly perspective, God unveils the spiritual battle already underway and calls His peop...

Our culture places a high value on independence and autonomy, but Scripture strikes a different tone: the blessing of finding abundant wisdom in community. This week, we will look at Proverbs' call to wise living—humbling ourselves by pursuing godly, wise counsel that guides and guards our walk with Christ.

As we continue our Multiply Campaign, we’re not just seeking a bigger building—we’re choosing to build a gospel movement that will echo through the generations. In Philippians 4:10-23, Paul shows us how, from the human side of things, the gospel moves with power through the world. The call is now ours—to be a part of this movement, to embrace a vision that extends beyond ourselves, and to build so...

As we kick off our annual Multiply campaign, we turn to Luke 10:1-12 to refocus on our mission and the urgent need for laborers. The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few, and Jesus calls us to pray earnestly for more. This sermon will challenge us to step up in evangelism, support the mission, and prepare for the next chapter as we seek to raise funds for a new building that will serve as...

n our passage, Paul urges the most important thing 1st if all. If we hope to have a healthy church, we cannot, we must not ignore what he says in these six verses. If you hope to have a healthy family and a healthy life with God, you cannot, you must not ignore what we are about to study. If you hope to grow in your personal relationship with God through Christ, practice of what this passage teach...

Prayer is one of those great mysteries that very few people seem to be good at. How can we be better at it? In Colossians 4:2-4, Paul's instruction to pray also offers a vision for how to grow in prayer. Here is help for those struggling to pray!

The first to hear the greatest announcement in history were humble shepherds, not royalty or the religious elite. In Luke 2:8-20, the angelic proclamation of the Savior's birth reveals God’s grace in reaching the lowly. The shepherds’ immediate faith and joyful proclamation challenge us to respond to the gospel with urgency and boldness. As we reflect on this extraordinary birth announcement, may...

Part of the wonder of Christmas is the stunning paradox of Christ’s birth—Majesty laid in a manger, the Almighty cradled as a child. In Luke 2:1–7, we behold the Lord of glory who, for love’s sake, stepped down from the throne to the straw, choosing poverty that sinners might be made rich. In this message, we’ll trace the profound contrasts of the incarnation—divine glory in lowly places, kingly h...

Every Christian knows what it feels like to be alive on the outside but dull on the inside—and how desperately we long for a faith that truly lives to God. This Sunday, we’ll turn to Ephesians 3:14–21 to see how Paul prays for believers not merely to understand the gospel but to be strengthened, awakened, and animated by the very life of Christ.

As we will see in our passage in Colossians, your only hope for victory in life with Christ comes from knowing you are already dead. And we will see that life in Christ is continual mortal combat. Our main warfare as Christians is not against other religions; it’s not against cultural trends, it’s not against a political party, it’s not against our spouses or children or other members of the churc...

God’s grace doesn’t just save—it changes. Titus 2:11–14 shows us that the same grace that rescues us from sin also trains us in godliness. This week, we’ll explore how salvation sparks transformation, how mercy reshapes our hearts, and how grace produces lives that increasingly reflect Christ.

Jesus said his disciples are to seek first his kingdom. Yet how easy it is for us to get entangled in this world—to allow personal pursuits and perpetual busyness to shape our priorities and agendas. The brief story of the rebuilding of the temple in Haggai 1 is instructive for us. We will study how God's people considered their selfish ways and reoriented themselves to seek God's priorities first...

Many Christians feel the tension between the radical life Jesus describes and the ordinary life we often settle for. In Luke 9:18–25, Jesus cuts through our confusion with a breathtakingly clear call to follow Him—one that exposes our comfort, awakens our courage, and resets our expectations for discipleship. This passage helps us see what true devotion looks like, what it costs, and why it’s wort...

The Holy Spirit is not an optional part of the Christian life--He is its very center. But sadly, many Christians don't know Him well. This study (re)introduces us to the Spirit and to a life in relationship with Him.

All the gifts the church experiences flow from the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The same Gospel that saves us from our sins gifts us to show mercy, to serve, to teach, to give, to lead, to have supernatural knowledge, to pray for healings, to prophesy and to speak in tongues. All the gifts described in the New Testament are necessary expressions of the active presence of God in ou...

In studying 1 Corinthians 12:1-11, we see a glimpse of who the Spirit is, what he does, and how he continues to empower believers for ministry and witness.

We live in a world running in every direction except toward what truly matters. In Philippians 3:12-21, Paul shows us what it looks like to run the only race worth running — one that forgets what’s behind, strains forward to what lies ahead, and follows after those who run for the same prize. The Christian life is not a casual stroll; it’s a wholehearted pursuit of Christ Himself.
