The Lord’s Supper is far more than a ritual or a moment of remembrance—it is a gracious means by which Christ communes with His people. In this sermon from Matthew 26:26–29, we slow down at the Table to consider the mercy, holiness, and covenant love of Christ, who instituted the Supper on the very night of betrayal. We will see how the Table holds together God’s unwavering righteousness and His astonishing grace, calling us to repentance, forgiveness, and ongoing dependence on Christ. This message also lifts our eyes beyond the cross to the coming Kingdom, reminding us that the Supper is a foretaste of the marriage supper of the Lamb. Centered on the gospel of Jesus Christ, this sermon calls us to true faith, heartfelt repentance, and joyful communion with our living Savior as we await His return.

In Psalm 127, God confronts one of the most subtle and dangerous sins of the religious life: practical atheism. This psalm is not written to unbelievers, but to God’s people—those who work hard, plan carefully, and live responsibly, yet are tempted to live as though everything ultimately depends on them.

Psalm 127 exposes the vanity of self-reliance in every sphere of life. It teaches that houses can be built, cities can be guarded, labor can be intense, and families can be raised—and yet all of it can be empty if the LORD is not the One who builds, watches, and blesses. Human effort, vigilance, and discipline are real and necessary, but they are never sufficient. Without God’s sovereign hand, even the best efforts collapse into futility.

The psalm also reorients our understanding of rest. Anxious toil reveals misplaced trust, while sleep becomes a daily confession of faith in God’s providence. The LORD alone gives rest to His beloved, freeing His people from the crushing burden of self-sovereignty.

Finally, Psalm 127 presents children not as burdens or accessories, but as a heritage from the LORD—arrows entrusted to parents for faithful stewardship. This calls families to receive children as blessings, to raise them intentionally, and to trust God for generational fruit.

This sermon calls us to repentance where we have planned, labored, and lived as though God were unnecessary—and invites us to rediscover the freedom, peace, and blessing that come from living as though the LORD truly builds.

At the beginning of a new year, Scripture calls us to examine not merely what we do, but what we love.

In Psalm 37:4, David issues a command that reaches the deepest part of the human soul: “Delight yourself in the LORD.” This is not a suggestion, nor is it sentimental language. It is a theological command that addresses the affections of the heart and exposes the true foundation of the Christian life.

In this sermon, we will consider what it means to delight in God—not in His gifts, not in favorable circumstances, and not in the benefits of religion, but in God Himself. We will see that delight in God is essential for faithfulness, prayer, obedience, patience, and perseverance. When delight is disordered, the Christian life becomes burdensome, mechanical, and joyless. When delight is rightly fixed on the Lord, the soul finds stability even in a world that provokes anxiety, envy, and impatience.

This message will walk carefully and exegetically through Psalm 37:4, with minimal but necessary attention to its surrounding context. We will consider the nature of biblical delight, the object of true delight, the promise God attaches to delighting in Him, and how Christ Himself is the fulfillment and ground of lasting joy.

This sermon is both a warning and an invitation: a warning against a cold, dutiful, and joyless Christianity, and an invitation to a life ordered by holy affection, deep communion with God, and enduring hope.

As we come to the end of another year, Scripture calls us to something deeper than nostalgia, resolutions, or self-evaluation. In Psalm 90—the oldest psalm in the Psalter—Moses leads God’s people in a sober prayer that confronts the realities we often try to avoid: God’s eternality, man’s frailty, the seriousness of sin, and the brevity of life.

This psalm was written in the wilderness, in the shadow of death, by a man who watched an entire generation pass away while waiting on the promises of God. Rather than asking for longer life, easier circumstances, or clearer answers, Moses prays for something far more necessary: wisdom. “So teach us to number our days, that we may get a heart of wisdom.”

In this sermon, we will walk through the entirety of Psalm 90, allowing the text to shape how we think about time, mortality, and faithfulness before a holy God. We will see that our days are not merely short, but numbered under God’s sovereign authority—and that true wisdom is not found in productivity or control, but in fearing the Lord and living rightly before Him.

Ultimately, Psalm 90 leads us beyond ourselves to Christ, the eternal Son who entered our frailty, bore God’s righteous wrath against sin, and redeemed our numbered days. This is a sermon of sober reflection, gospel hope, and prayerful dependence—calling us not to manage time better, but to live wisely before God in the time He has given.

In this sermon, Pastor Cole preaches on one of the most misunderstood and yet most beautiful doctrines in the entire Bible: Irresistible Grace—the sovereign, effectual work of the Holy Spirit in bringing dead sinners to life. Far from the caricature of God dragging people unwillingly into the kingdom, this doctrine shows that salvation is a miracle of inward transformation. The Spirit doesn’t coerce the will—He changes it. He doesn’t force sinners against their desires—He gives them new desires. He doesn’t push sinners toward Christ—He awakens their hearts so that they run to Christ.

Drawing from passages like John 3, John 6, Ezekiel 36, Acts 16, and Titus 3, this sermon explains the difference between natural moral conviction and true Spirit-wrought conviction, showing that only the regenerating work of God can produce repentance, faith, and joyful obedience. When the Spirit opens the heart, replaces the heart of stone, and renews the will, the sinner comes freely and gladly—not reluctantly, but lovingly.

This sermon also shows how irresistible grace produces transformed lives. True believers obey Christ not out of legalism or external pressure, but out of love. Obedience is the fruit of a new nature—a heart captivated by Christ and empowered by grace. When God saves, He not only calls; He changes. He not only forgives; He renews. And not one drop of Christ’s blood is wasted, for all those the Father chose and the Son redeemed, the Spirit will certainly draw.

Irresistible Grace is not a doctrine for debate—it is a doctrine for worship. It is the miracle of a changed heart.

In this message, Pastor Cole unfolds one of the most profound and glorious truths in all of Scripture: God’s sovereign choice to save a people for Himself—not based on their works, their will, their effort, or their foreseen faith, but solely according to His own gracious purpose. Drawing from passages such as Ephesians 1:3–6, Romans 9, John 6, and 2 Timothy 1:9, this sermon shows that election is not a theological complication but a biblical celebration. It is the foundation of our salvation, the anchor of our assurance, and the fountain of our worship.

Pastor Cole explains that unconditional election confronts the pride of man and exalts the mercy of God. We contribute nothing to our salvation—not even the first step. We were dead in sin, enslaved in our wills, blind in our hearts, and hostile in our minds. Yet before the foundation of the world, God set His love on His people, chose them in Christ, and wrote their names in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Election is not cold doctrine—it is warm, personal, covenantal love. It is the Father giving a bride to His Son. It is the God who saves actually accomplishing salvation from beginning to end.

This sermon also answers common objections, exposing the error of Arminian and semi-Pelagian views that make salvation dependent on human will rather than divine mercy. In the end, this sermon leads us to see that election humbles the believer, fuels evangelism, strengthens assurance, and magnifies the glory of Christ. We love Him because He first loved us. We chose Him because He first chose us. And because salvation begins with God, it will end with God—guaranteed.

In this message, Pastor Cole unpacks the sobering yet essential truth that all humanity is utterly corrupted by sin and completely unable to come to God apart from sovereign grace. From Genesis 6:5 to Ephesians 2:1–5, Scripture reveals that we are not spiritually sick—we are spiritually dead. Our hearts are deceitful, our minds darkened, and our wills enslaved. Yet into that darkness, God speaks life. This doctrine humbles our pride and magnifies His mercy. Until we grasp how far we have fallen, we will never marvel at how far God came to save us. True worship begins when we understand that salvation is not a partnership with God but a miracle of God. Because man is totally depraved, grace must be totally sovereign.
