In light of the riches of the gospel, how should our lives now look?

In Romans 9 Paul interacts with a difficult question: why are some people saved and others aren’t?

The Bible tells us that history is hurtling toward glory. For Christians, that doesn’t eliminate suffering, but it contextualizes it.

How can we be sure of our salvation?

Justified people aren’t just declared righteous. In their sanctification they’re also made holy. The process is often painful.

For justified people, what does it mean to be in Christ?

Paul pulls the curtain back on how justification works.

We’re all on the hook. What does God do about it?

Before we understand the good news of Jesus, we need to hear the bad news of our sin.

This semester we’ll be diving into one of the most consequential documents ever written.

For anyone who feels stuck, hiding, or overwhelmed by the weight of sin, Psalm 130 offers a path forward. This episode reflects on crying out from the depths, trusting in God’s forgiveness, and learning to wait with hope. (Recorded on 4/28/26)

Psalm 107 invites us into a life of gratitude—but not the shallow kind rooted in good circumstances. God’s steadfast, covenant love is the true foundation for thankfulness, even in suffering. Ultimately, it points to Jesus, whose life, death, and resurrection secure a gratitude that endures in every season. (Recorded on 4/21/26)

We’re all prone to forget the story we’re living in. In Psalm 103, worship becomes the remedy—reminding us of God’s goodness, reshaping our view of him, and restoring our identity as people deeply loved. (Recorded on 4/14/26)

Psalm 88 gives voice to deep, unresolved sorrow. This sermon explores how Scripture makes room for darkness, teaches us to bring our pain honestly to God, and calls the church to embody compassionate presence. Ultimately, it points to Jesus, who enters our suffering and assures us we are never alone, even in despair. (Recorded on 4/7/26)

Many of us don’t like talking about the biblical doctrine of sin. We might think of it as outdated or oppressive. But what if it isn’t? What if it’s a key theological truth that’s directly connected to our flourishing? (Recorded on 3/31/26)
