How to Inherit Eternal Life
March 7, 2021

A Wide View of Ministry
February 28, 2021
The disciples continue to show their blindness when it comes to understanding Jesus and his mission. In this passage, their blindness has to do with their view of ministry. They have a really narrow view of God’s work in the world, so Jesus has to expand their vision. And he intends to expand our vision too.

God Is Our Refuge and Strength
February 21, 2021
During uncertain and unstable times, the thing we need most is to be reminded of God. This psalm is thoroughly God-centered, and each stanza points us to something particular about him. When it feels like the world is falling apart, he’s our only hope.

Christ the Good Shepherd
July 5, 2026
If Psalm 22 is about the cross of Christ and Psalm 24 is about the crown of Christ, then Psalm 23 is about the confidence we can have in Christ. Psalm 23 is a confidence Psalm, a psalm of absolute trust. And there are three clear confessions of confidence in this Psalm that can be our confessions too.

A Divine Encounter
June 14, 2026
In this beautiful story, God arranges a divine encounter to take the gospel to just one man. And he does it through another man. And, even though this story has some extraordinary elements, it’s really just the ordinary way God works to bring people to himself. The Spirit of God uses the man or woman of God to share the word of God to bring people to faith in the Son of God.

Why Doesn’t God Protect His People?
May 31, 2026
In Acts 6–7, Stephen faithfully serves, boldly proclaims Jesus, and becomes the first Christian martyr. His story reveals that suffering is not evidence of God's absence but often part of following Christ. In this sermon, Brad Watson explores how opposition cannot stop the mission of God, why believers share in the life of Jesus, and how the hope of resurrection transforms even death into victory.

No Other Name

Envy
February 22, 2026
Envy is rivalry and comparison gone off the rails. Envy produces sorrow over your neighbor’s success and joy over their misfortune. It’s so common it can be described as the oldest and most consistent source of relational strife in the Bible. The first sin out of are the garden is fueled by it. So, in this sermon we look at Cain’s story. What is envy? Why is it so deadly? How does Jesus free us from it?

Vainglory
February 15, 2026

Matthew
Wrath
March 8, 2026
Wrath is anger gone wrong. It’s anger expressed in the wrong ways and it’s anger about the wrong things. When we hold onto this kind of anger, it is incredibly harmful. It’s harmful to us personally, harmful to others, and harmful to our relationship with God. How can we overcome this kind of anger and loosen its grip on our lives?

Gluttony
March 15, 2026
Gluttony is a disordered desire for food or drink that drives us to excess and self-indulgence. The problem is not that we have appetites, but that we are controlled by them. When we remember that our citizenship is in heaven, we are able to enjoy food as a gift and experience it as a foretaste of the great feast to come.
