Our series, “Faithful Presence,” is utilizing four narratives in Acts to help us navigate
certain challenges we face following Jesus in our culture. Today we consider the
challenge of the powers.
We’re in a series called “Cultural Narratives,” utilizing passages in 1 Corinthians to
assess some of the ideas, notions, beliefs, and behaviors that are taken to be “givens” in Western cultures. Today, in 1 Corinthians 6–7, we’ll consider what the gospel says to the cultural narrative on sex and intimacy.
Our Discipleship Pathway emphasis for the summer is “The Gospel and Culture.” Each
message in this current series, “Cultural Narratives,” will be from 1 Corinthians. Today,
in 1 Corinthians 1, we’re looking at how the divisions in the Corinthian church
correspond to the cultural narrative on identity.
Today we begin a new series for a new Discipleship Pathway emphasis for the summer: “The Gospel and Culture.” Each message will be from 1 Corinthians, looking at cultural narratives. In today’s message, we’re studying the gospel summary in 1 Corinthians 15.
One more message in the “One Anothers” series. We return to James 5 (see March 2 sermon) and this time focus on “pray for one another.”
For Easter, we’re considering the difference the resurrection of Jesus makes to the common human conditions of guilt and shame.
On this Palm Sunday we're looking at the place where Jesus called himself the good shepherd and the implications for us.
We are wrapping up our series on the “One Another’s” of Scripture. This week, we consider how to stir up one another to love and good works. We will see that the church is the context for growth in Christlikeness.
The focus in our "One Anothers" series today is to encourage one another with Jesus' resurrection and return.
We come now in our “One Anothers” series to Jesus’ call to love one another, what it
means and does not mean.

Concluding Hebrews 6 today, our passage gives us three reasons for absolute confidence in who God has promised to be for us: God’s oath, God’s character, and God’s Son.
The exhortation to move from milk to solid food is a call to move on from the old and press into the new. Maturity is clinging to Christ’s perfection for you. It cuts against any fear of not performing or never trying at all.
We’re in a study of Hebrews 4–6. Today’s passage continues looking at the implications of Jesus’ high priesthood. We’ll consider the reverence of Jesus, his obedience, and his priestly “order of Melchizedek.”
We’re in a study of Hebrews 4–6. Today’s passage continues the theme of Jesus’ high priesthood. Priests represented people to God but were themselves sinful too. What was needed was a priest who could satisfy the need for sacrifice for sin for all time.
We’re in a study of Hebrews 4–6. In today’s passage, we’re told to be confident in our confession of Jesus because he passed the test of temptation. Jesus was innocent of sin but not ignorant of sin. Because he lived a human life, we can depend on him to be merciful and gracious with us.
In December we’re looking at five of Jesus’ parables, one for each of the Advent emphases: Hope, Peace, Joy, Love, and Faith.

This morning we are joined by Peter Sozi, leader of Divine Care Ministries, one of our missions partners in Uganda. In this sermon he shares with us the story of how DCM was started. He then explains how the Gospel is the key to transformation, not only in Uganda, but here in Nashville and across the world.
Today we conclude our study of Hebrews 1–3 in a warning passage. We’ll look at it from three angles: not letting our hearts desire rebellion, not letting our wills choose disobedience, and not letting our minds justify unbelief.
In our study of Hebrews 1–3, we come to another passage in which Jesus is contrasted with run-ups and rivals. Today, we’ll think about similarities and differences between Moses and Jesus, noting how Moses shows us what it means to be faithful in God’s house, while Jesus shows us what it means to be faithful over God’s house.
In our study of Hebrews 1–3, we come now to a passage in which we’ll learn three things: that God is not ashamed of his people, that his enduring what he did for us is not the same thing as enduring us, and that the incarnation of Jesus had just as much meaning for God as for us.
In studying Hebrews 1–3, we’re being shown how Jesus is better—he himself and his message, the gospel—than any runup to him or rival god. In today’s message, we consider how knowing the nature of God in Jesus humbles us without humiliating us and elevates us without exalting us.
We’re in a study of Hebrews 1–3. Hebrews is about the uniqueness and supremacy of Jesus. Lesser-to-greater comparisons and contrasts are all through the book in service to this reality. In today’s message, we consider how the Gospel is greater and better than the Law.
We see in our text that Jesus is better than the angels and anything else that we may put in His place.
Today we begin a study of Hebrews 1–3. Hebrews is about the uniqueness and supremacy of Jesus, who is called in Hebrews 1:3 “the exact imprint of [God’s] nature.” The writer of Hebrews wants to dispel any ambiguity on who Jesus is and inspire the courage to stay with Jesus’ gospel as given to the church.
We wrap up our value series with An As We Go Mentality Pt. 2 in light of the great commission of Matthew 28:16-20. The command to go is rooted and compelled by God, who has promised to bring it to completion.
“The Lord Is…” series continues this morning from 2 Corinthians 3, where we learn how the nature of God nurtures us by his Spirit.
“The Lord Is…” series continues this morning with Isaiah 12, where God is called my Strength, Song, and Salvation.
Today we finish our “Teaching My Sorrows to Swim” series by looking at an exchange between Peter and Jesus. When given the opportunity to leave, Peter stays. He keeps walking with Jesus because he recognizes Jesus is essential to God not optional, because he trusts Jesus’ character even when he doesn’t fully understand his teaching, and because he loves the one he knows loves him.
We’re in a series called, “Teaching My Sorrows to Swim.” In Psalm 42, we discover how to probe our sorrows, preach to ourselves, and offer praise to God even amid sufferings of all kinds.
We’re in a series called, “Teaching My Sorrows to Swim.” Our sufferings can turn isolating. But today’s text from 2 Corinthians 1 teaches us that we’re outfitted in our sufferings to comfort others in theirs.
We’re in a short topical series called, “Teaching My Sorrows to Swim.” God doesn’t promise to keep us from sorrows and the hard things that cause them, but he does give us means to endure and meets us in a variety of ways that encourage us. Today, we consider Psalm 88, a lament psalm that is unique among all other psalms.
This message kicks off a one-month topical series called, “Teaching My Sorrows to Swim.” God doesn’t promise to keep us from sorrows and the hard things that cause them, but he does give us means to endure and meets us in a variety of ways that encourage us.
A close look at Jesus, the friend of sinners, who shows grace to even the most complex people when they couldn’t help themselves.
Today is our concluding message in our series, “A Godly Life,” through 1 Timothy. A godly life requires effort, not earning, and today’s passage shows us what shape that effort takes.
In this series, “A Godly Life,” Pastor Cole has described a godly life as equal parts doctrinal, moral, and relational. In the final three chapters of this New Testament letter, we’re looking at each theme, one chapter at a time. Chapter 6 includes moral integrity themes.

In today’s message from 1 Timothy, we look at how vital the office of elder is to the church, and who qualifies to fill it.
The main work of the Christian life is to abide, or remain, in Christ. But what does that mean? Abiding begins with a glimpse of Jesus, is done by a series of intentional choices, and is propelled by faith.

Christ is risen! This Easter morning, the sermon takes us to Matthew 28, to how Jesus’ followers responded to his resurrection.

We’re in a series called, “The Gospel According to Esther.” Although God is never directly spoken of in Esther’s pages, God’s work in and for his people is apparent. In today’s message, Pastor Cole will show us how God uses crises and conflicts to interrupt our compromises and complacencies, so that we can live into our identity as his people.
This is the first sermon in a new four-part series: “The Gospel According to Esther.” God is never directly spoken of in Esther’s pages, yet Esther’s story has something to teach us about the strength of God’s enduring faithfulness to us.
Pastor Tanner unpacks Jesus’ humble act of washing the disciples’ feet in John 13. The text confronts us with the depth and beauty of Jesus’ love, and a command that is only possible through his redemption.
We conclude our study of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount with the parable of the two builders. The point of the parable has to do with where we rest our foundation for life and living.
In concluding his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus makes distinctions between true and false beliefs, true and false teachers, and true and false followers. In a sermon in which he has offered himself as the ultimate authority on what’s true and what’s false, this is an expected conclusion.
Here is the second time Jesus addressed prayer in his Sermon on the Mount. But this time Jesus speaks less about how to pray, more about why. In today’s message, we’ll learn what it means to ask, seek, and knock, and why it matters that we persist in doing so.
In our text this morning from the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus addresses judgment and judgmentalism. What’s the difference and why does it matter?

In today’s message, Pastor Cole will show us the reality of sins behind sins, and how Jesus counteracts that in us and for us.
In our study Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, we come today to his sermon text, which was “the Law and the Prophets.” Jesus’ message shows us how he regarded the Bible and why he is central to its story-line.
We’re studying Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, located in Matthew 5–7. Today we consider what Jesus had in mind when he called his people “salt” and “light.”
We’re beginning Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, located in Matthew 5–7. Jesus ascends a mountain to teach, and what he teaches in the Sermon on the Mount we can find a tough hill to climb. But in the Beatitudes, he makes the mountain low (cf. Isa. 40:4). These blessing statements are about his accessibility and generosity to us.

We begin our Sermon on the Mount study in the temptation narrative; how Jesus handled temptation and what this means for us.
We wrap up our value series with An As We Go Mentality Pt. 2 in light of the great commission of Matthew 28:16-20. The command to go is rooted and compelled by God, who has promised to bring it to completion.

Pastor Cole is taking us through a series called, “Long Story Short: The Bible in 12 Statements.” The Bible’s long story is a biography of Jesus.

This is our second Sunday in the list of names at the end of Colossians 4. We’re thinking about how serving spiritually forms us, and today Pastor Cole will give us three angles: that in serving we pour ourselves out, invite others in, and pursue “freedom to” instead of “freedom from.”
We’re spending two weeks in Colossians 4:7–18 thinking about how serving spiritually forms us. Paul lists names of people who served the church and him, and from them we get fresh angles on what serving is and the commitment it requires.
This morning we return to Colossians. In Colossians 4:2–6, Paul asks for prayer for his ministry while simultaneously teaching us what to pray for. He also commends our walking in wisdom toward outsiders. In today’s message, “Gospel Conversation,” Pastor Cole will guide us in two main verbal applications of the gospel believed.
Today, with all Christians everywhere, we proclaim the great Easter message: “He is Risen!” Pastor Cole takes us to Romans 3:21–26 this morning to show us why and how that gospel proclamation works.

In today’s passage, Colossians 3:12–17, the chapter moves from the things we should "put off", to the things of Christ that we should "put on". Listen as Chandler Vannoy preaches and helps us understand what it looks like to live the Christian life.
In today’s passage, Colossians 3:5–11, we’re told to put to death sins and sin patterns that do nothing for us in Christ. Pastor Cole will teach about why and how we do this, and what Jesus has done, is doing, and will do in and through us as we do.
In today’s passage, Colossians 3:1–4, we’re told to seek the things that are above, and Pastor Cole will give us three ways to do that: by looking up to where Christ is, looking in to where Christ is, and looking out for where Christ will be when he returns.
We’re going through a series in Colossians. In today’s passage, Pastor Cole shows us three concerns the apostle had for followers of Jesus, and how the gospel of Jesus’ supremacy and sufficiency answers those concerns.
Pastor Cole is preaching through Colossians. In today’s passage, we’re told to resist captivation to any belief or pursuit that displaces or denies Jesus’ superiority by giving ourselves more fully to his person and work.
As Pastor Cole takes us through Colossians, we come to a “pro-church” passage, where Paul commends the Colossians for things they did well, even as he anticipates greater maturity for them. While churches have many flaws and faults, from this passage we’ll consider three reasons why to be pro-church: because it is the fellowship of the shared sufferings of Christ, because the church is the fellowship of shared growth in Christ, and because the church is the fellowship of shared love for Christ.
In this Colossians passage, Jesus is presented as the creator and sustainer of the universe, yet personal and approachable. We find the universal storylines are Jesus’ to tell: Creation (how did all things come to be), Fall (how did it go wrong), Redemption (how it’s made right), and Restoration (how it will end).
Pastor Cole begins a series in Colossians today, taking us through the prayer Paul prayed for those followers of Jesus.

Pastor Cole takes us to Psalm 1 today to teach us the importance of meditation in the life of a Christ follower.

Anticipation for what God gives us by way of Jesus’ second coming.
Today is the fourth Sunday of Advent, the season we look back to Christ’s first coming, as a baby born in Bethlehem, and look forward to his second coming.

Today, Pastor Cole opens a series in Ecclesiastes entitled What Is Worth Wanting? Ecclesiastes is like the FAQ of the Bible. Its author pondered questions we still ask - questions about the meaning of life and death, work and possessions, boundaries and freedoms.
