It’s a universal experience: going through suffering but struggling to understand the “why” behind it. In the Apostle Paul’s case, much of the reason behind his suffering was found in his subsequent ability to comfort others in similar situations. In this week’s message from 2 Corinthians 1, Pastor J.D. helps us see what Paul learned about God’s faithfulness through his pain. As we learn more about the character of God through our own suffering, we too will gain a testimony that speaks volumes to the unbelieving world.

A popular criticism often leveled against Christians is that they are hypocrites, meaning that they say one thing but do another. But Jesus addresses a different kind of hypocrisy in the Sermon on the Mount, that of doing spiritual things to be seen as more godly than you actually are. In this week’s message from Matthew 6, Pastor Curtis shows us not only the cost of hypocrisy but the cure for it. The key isn’t found in doing more and more religious things, but in having a genuine relationship with the Father who sees and loves us.

What does a bold, faithful witness to Jesus look like in 2025? After all, we're living in an age where Christianity is increasingly viewed as a problem, even an obstacle to be removed. In this week's message from Jeremiah 29, Pastor J.D. helps us see that we have a vital part to play in the renewal of our city. As we do our jobs with excellence, integrity, and grace, we not only reflect the gospel, but we ultimately display a foretaste of the world as God intended it to be.

Psalm 51 is widely known as the psalm in which David confesses his sins related to Bathsheba and her husband. But in this week’s message, Pastor Bryan takes us through Psalm 32, revealing a look into David’s heart in the year before he actually confessed. Like David, we sometimes have a tendency to be slow in confessing our sins, mistakenly believing that in these moments we should keep a safe distance from God. The truth, however, is that God is a safe place for us precisely because our sins have been covered by the blood of Jesus.

The final chapters of the book of Revelation present the end of the world as we know it—but there's also a glorious beginning. In this week’s message from Revelation 21–22, Pastor J.D. walks us through the vision of a new heaven and a new earth described by the Apostle John. The fact that God will once again dwell with his people should cause all of us to rejoice. But the fact that those who reject God will not experience this reunion with him should motivate us to share the gospel with urgency, inviting people to put their faith in the God who delights in making all things new. 

The gospel is beautiful for so many reasons, but one of them is its power to unite people from different cultures, family backgrounds, and circumstances. As we come together for Church at the Dome this weekend, Pastor J.D. shows the power of the gospel at work through the stories of three very different people in Acts 16. Whether you're a seeker, a cynic, or something in between, the resurrected Jesus meets you exactly where you are and offers true hope and freedom.

In this week’s message, Pastor Tyler Staton, our guest preacher from Bridgetown Church, reintroduces us to the person of the Holy Spirit by tracing five biblical scenes: creation, roots, Jesus, then, and now.

What do you most look forward to? Maybe it's a vacation that you've been anticipating for a long time, or a new job that you can't wait to start. Maybe it's catching up with an old friend that you haven't seen in years. For those who follow Jesus, what we look forward to with great anticipation is what Revelation calls “the marriage supper of the Lamb.” In this week's message from Revelation 19–20, Pastor J.D. unpacks the implications of this great wedding feast as well as the 1,000-year earthly reign of Christ, encouraging us to live with the realization that life is short and eternity is forever.

We're all familiar with the experience of being tourists, but exiles? No way. And yet, we are told in multiple places in the Bible to think of ourselves as exiles here on earth, because this is not our true home. In this week's message from Revelation 14–18, Pastor J.D. shows us the value of living as exiles in a place that frequently seems alluring but will ultimately pass away. What we are meant to do is fix our eyes on the heavenly city, the one with true, lasting foundations. That, after all, is our eternal home.
