Summer Playlist: The Sanctuary - Justin Chapman
2w ago00:30:20Tap to summarizeAre there times when it feels like God might be good, but he's not good to you? Asaph was one of the main worship leaders in Jerusalem during David's reign, and he felt like there was a gap between God's goodness and his experience. Psalm 73 is Asaph's account of what changed the weather in his soul—he went into the sanctuary.

Summer Playlist: Your Kingdom Come - Jonathan Cothron
3w ago00:38:19Tap to summarizeThe day after America's 250th birthday, we turn to Psalm 72 to ask a bigger question: what would it look like to live under a truly perfect King? This message traces the ache behind every patriotic song to the one Kingdom that can actually satisfy it — pointing us away from cynicism and idolatry, and toward prayer, worship, and allegiance to Jesus, the King every earthly kingdom was pointing to all along.

Summer Playlist: Appealing to God - Justin Chapman
4w ago00:33:07Tap to summarizeWeakness is hard to admit — especially when the world around you runs on credentials and performance. But Psalm 41 doesn't let us hide. It invites us into honest, even ugly prayer, and walks us from lament all the way to victory.In this week's sermon, we dig into what it means to lay hold of God's goodness when you're at your weakest — whether that's poverty, sickness, betrayal, or being quietly pushed to the margins. God's goodness isn't for people who have it together. It's for the weak. And it leads somewhere real.

Summer Playlist: The Gateway of Blessing - Justin Chapman
Jun 2200:37:58Tap to summarizePsalm 1 opens the entire Book of Psalms with a stark picture: two paths, two people, two very different outcomes — and the only thing separating them is who they listen to. In this sermon, we dig into the ancient songs of Scripture and find that they are not just expressions of devotion, but expressions of reality. One life is rooted like a tree by living water — fruitful, steady, unshaken. The other is like chaff — weightless, directionless, carried wherever the wind blows. The question isn’t which life looks better. The question is: where are your roots?

1 Timothy: Fight For True Riches - Justin Chapman
Jun 1500:34:40Tap to summarizeWe close out our 1 Timothy series with one of Paul’s most searching charges: take hold of the eternal life to which you were called. It’s not enough to just have it — we’re invited to immerse ourselves in it. In this message from 1 Timothy 6, we unpack what that looks like through three movements: fleeing the lie that the wealthy life is the good life, fixing our eyes on the return of Christ, and abiding in the grace of God here and now.

1 Timothy: A Culture of Honor - Justin Chapman
Jun 800:37:45Tap to summarizeIs genuine Christian community actually possible — or is it just a beautiful idea that always falls apart? In this sermon, we dive into 1 Timothy 5 — a passage that gets specific about the areas where honor is hardest: caring for the vulnerable, honoring those who lead, and bringing that same posture into the workplace. This one is practical, a little uncomfortable, and full of grace.

1 Timothy: Pursue Godliness - Justin Chapman
Jun 100:38:25Tap to summarizeWhat does it take to actually pursue God? Paul’s letter to Timothy in 1 Timothy 3:14–4:16 gives us a clear answer: train yourself for godliness. In this message, we explore four compelling reasons to pursue godliness — because it aligns with truth, because God is worthy, because the counterfeits will destroy you, and because our hope is anchored in a living God. Plus, a practical call to stop merely trying and start training.

1 Timothy: What Kind of Leaders Does the Church Need? - Justin Chapman
May 2500:42:09Tap to summarizeThe credibility of any church rises or falls with the character of its leaders. In this sermon on 1 Timothy 3, we walk through Paul's qualifications for elders and deacons and discover that the bar isn't about heroic achievements, it's about the quiet, daily faithfulness of a life shaped by the gospel.

1 Timothy: Prayerful for the World, Different from It - Justin Chapman
May 1800:41:17Tap to summarizeWhat does it actually look like to be in the world without being shaped by it? In this sermon, we dig into 1 Timothy 2 and wrestle honestly with what the Bible says about prayer, political leaders, masculinity, femininity, and the distinct identity of the church.

1 Timothy: A Gospel Worth Fighting For - Justin Chapman
May 1100:38:55Tap to summarizeIn this first message from 1 Timothy 1, we discover why the gospel is worth fighting for, what happens when teaching drifts away from it, and how love is both the goal and the evidence of sound doctrine. Paul’s personal testimony of mercy and grace reminds us that no one is beyond the reach of God — and that the fight for the gospel is ultimately a fight worth having.
