The night is passing away, and the day has dawned.

In Romans 13:8–14, Dr. Paul Sloan examines Paul’s call to love our neighbors, leave behind the works of darkness, and “put on the Lord Jesus Christ.” The gospel brings forgiveness from condemnation, but it also transforms believers through the Spirit, enabling us to live according to the new reality Christ has created.

Romans 12:9–21 calls Christians to genuine love, mutual affection, patience, hospitality, forgiveness, and peace—even toward those who oppose them.

Dr. Paul Sloan explores how these commands grow out of three realities: believers have been joined together as one community in Christ, they are called to imitate the life of Jesus, and they can entrust final judgment to God.

Because the Spirit of Christ is genuinely at work within his people, Paul expects Christians not merely to understand this way of life, but actually to walk in it—refusing revenge and overcoming evil with good.

In Romans 12, Paul calls believers to present themselves as “living sacrifices” and to be transformed by the renewing of their minds.

Dr. Paul Sloan explores the biblical imagery behind sacrifice as something brought into God’s sacred presence and considers what it means to live every part of life before Him.

As Christ reshapes the way we think, He also changes the way we see and treat the people around us—not as competitors or as people valuable only for what they can offer, but as members of one body who are called to love and honor one another.

In Matthew 15, Jesus’ dispute with the Pharisees over ritual purity becomes a lesson about the much deeper problem of the human heart.

Dr. Paul Sloan explains the distinction between ritual and moral defilement, Jesus’ careful handling of the Torah, and why the sins Jesus names ultimately enslave individuals and tear apart communities.

Yet Christ does more than reveal God’s standard: he gives his Spirit to renew our hearts and enable us to walk in newness of life.

When Peter steps out of the boat in Matthew 14, his ability to walk on the water does not rest in his own strength—it rests in the One who called him.

And when Peter begins to sink, Jesus immediately reaches out to save him.

Dr. Paul Sloan explores how this scene reflects a promise woven throughout Scripture: God does not promise His people a life without storms, suffering, grief, or fear, but He does promise His presence.

When life feels like deep water, our confidence is not that we are strong enough to stay afloat, but that Christ will not abandon us.

What kind of King does God reveal Himself to be?

In this message, Dr. Paul Sloan teaches from Psalm 145, exploring God’s universal reign, His compassion for all creation, and the invitation to confidently approach Him in faith.

Connecting the psalm to Christ’s ministry, the feeding of the five thousand, the Great Commission, and the New Testament’s vision of God’s kingdom, this sermon reminds us that the Judge of all the earth is also gracious, merciful, and abounding in steadfast love.

Whether you’ve followed Christ for years or are considering the claims of the gospel for the first time, this message offers a rich picture of God’s character and His invitation to all people.

In this message from Matthew 13, Dr. Randy Hatchett explores Jesus’ kingdom parables, revealing how God’s work often begins unnoticed but ultimately transforms everything.

In Romans 8, the work of the Holy Spirit becomes wonderfully concrete. Paul Sloan explores how the Spirit unites us to Christ, equips us for faithful living, assures us that we are God’s children, intercedes in our weakness, and promises resurrection beyond the suffering and decay of this present age.

The same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead is already at work in us—and will one day bring life and freedom to all creation.
