Avenue T Church of Christ Sermon & Bible Class Podcast

On Sunday, May 10, 2026 (Mother’s Day), Cole Tuck delivered a powerful and convicting message titled “Time’s Up.”  Starting with heartfelt appreciation for biological and spiritual mothers, the sermon quickly moved into 1 Peter 4, challenging believers to examine their core purpose in life. Rather than chasing happiness and fleeting pleasures as the world does, Christians are called to “arm themselves” with the same purpose Christ had, to suffer in the flesh, cease from sin, and live for the will of God.

Cole emphasized that enough time has already been wasted on sensuality, lust, drunkenness, and worldly excesses. The world will be surprised by our different lifestyle and will often malign us for it, but we must remember that God, not the world, is the final Judge of the living and the dead. The message is a strong call to leave the “pig pen,” stop returning to empty sin, and use the remaining time for eternal things.

Core takeaway: The time spent chasing sin is sufficient. It’s time to move forward in righteousness, even when it costs us comfort and popularity.

On Sunday morning, May 10, 2026, Cole Tuck kicked off an exciting new Bible class on the Book of Proverbs. He highlighted why this often-neglected Old Testament book is one of the most practical and wisdom-packed treasures in Scripture. Cole explained that Proverbs is wisdom literature written in poetic style, full of general truisms (true most of the time, with exceptions) meant to guide everyday life. He unpacked Solomon’s background, the wisest man who asked God for an understanding heart, and the book’s purpose: to impart wisdom, instruction, prudence, and righteousness to people of all stages (the simple, the young, the wise). The foundational verse (Proverbs 1:7) took center stage: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Cole emphasized that true wisdom starts with revering God and remaining humble and teachable throughout life.

In his powerful sermon "The Binding of Isaac" (Genesis 22), Cole Tuck explores one of the Bible’s most challenging and profound stories. God tests Abraham by commanding him to sacrifice his long-awaited miracle son, Isaac, the child through whom God promised to build a great nation. Abraham obeys without hesitation, believing not only in God’s power but in His unwavering goodness. Hebrews 11 reveals Abraham’s reasoning: he trusted God could even raise Isaac from the dead.

This account foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The striking parallels between Isaac and Jesus highlight God’s redemptive plan, yet with one crucial difference: Isaac was spared by a ram, while Jesus, the true Lamb of God, was not. Through this story, we learn to trust God’s power and love even when His ways are incomprehensible, moving beyond fear-based obedience to faith rooted in the loving character of our Father. The sermon calls believers to deeper trust, especially in trials, anchored in the cross where God’s power and love perfectly meet.

On Sunday, May 3, 2026, Cole Tuck led our morning Bible class through Romans 16. This final chapter is rich with personal greetings, practical theology on service and leadership, and strong warnings against division. Cole emphasized that deacons are servants, not junior elders, highlighted the vital supporting roles of women like Phoebe, Prisca, and others in the early church, and showed Paul’s deep appreciation for everyday believers—slaves, women, and house churches alike. The lesson closed with a call to wisdom in what is good, innocence in what is evil, and confidence that God will crush Satan under our feet.

What’s stealing your focus?

We live in one of the most distracted generations in history—constant notifications, endless entertainment, and nonstop noise. And in the middle of it all, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters.

In this message on Godly Focus, we’re reminded of a powerful truth from First Epistle of Peter 1:13:

✔ Prepare your mind for action

The reality is simple:

Don’t let distractions pull you away from God’s purpose. Stay focused. Stay ready. Stay faithful.

Are we dividing over things God never intended us to fight about?

In Romans 14, we’re reminded that the Kingdom of God isn’t about food, traditions, or personal preferences—it’s about righteousness, peace, and joy.

Too often, we elevate our opinions to the level of God’s Word and end up hurting the very people Christ died for.
