Coastal Church Podcast
Pastors Dave and Cheryl Koop are the senior and founding pastors of Coastal, a non-denominational church that meets in the heart of downtown Vancouver. We believe that anointed teaching is the catalyst for transformation in individual lives and in the church.
Episodes
Joshua was called into a season that required deep courage, stepping out of Moses’ shadow, leading God’s people into uncertainty, and carrying the weight of spiritual responsibility. In the same way, many of us face moments where fear, transition, and challenges test our faith. Yet through every battle and unknown season, God’s command remains the same: be strong and courageous, because His presence goes with us wherever we go.
In a world that sees honour and respect eroding away, the greatest gift we can give our mothers is honor. When we choose to honor them, we not only strengthen our relationships but we also please God and reflect His heart.
This weekend, we’ll look at how we can live in unshakable peace by anchoring our lives in what never changes, staying close to our Shepherd, and trusting His presence with us even in life’s valleys.
We live in a world where truth is constantly questioned, yet Pilate's question in the Gospel of John remains relevant: “What is truth?”
Jesus didn't just speak about truth; He came to reveal it and bring freedom to those who know it.
This message calls us to know it, value it, and live it every day.
In the Book of Daniel, we meet a young man whose identity was under assault at a time when the world was shaking after the rise of Nebuchadnezzar. Carried into the powerful culture of Babylon, everything around him was designed to redefine who he was. Yet he went on to serve in high political positions under four kings.
Those listed in the “hall of faith” show us that living by faith is not passive but an active, enduring, race. While some may settle into coasting after professing faith, God intended for us to live by faith and leave a legacy.
This special family-friendly Easter Sunday service will focus on the resurrection of Jesus Christ, embracing the promise of new beginnings and everlasting life. We’d love to celebrate Jesus together!
Rahab’s story is a powerful reminder that our past does not define our future in God. Once known for her brokenness, she stepped out in bold faith, trusting in who God is rather than who she had been. Through courage, obedience, and belief, Rahab became part of God’s greater story, showing us that no past is too messy and no life is beyond redemption when we choose to walk by faith.
Faith is not just belief, it’s what shapes how we live and lead. In Hebrews 11, we see that a life of faith is what pleases God and leaves a lasting legacy. Through the life of Moses, we discover what it means to lead by faith.
God blesses us not just for our own good, but so we can bless others. Joseph’s story shows that faithfulness, service, and forgiveness turn God’s favor into life-changing impact. By faith, we receive God’s blessing and pass it on.
Even before Jesus was born, God was already dropping clues in the Bible about the future, the cross and the empty tomb, so when Jesus came, we’d recognize what God was doing: God Himself would provide the sacrifice to rescue us.
Faith isn’t always perfect, so whether you’re single or married, whether you’re thriving or barely holding it together, whether you feel like you’re full of faith or full of questions, this message is for you.
We all have been called to walk by faith. This walk will lead you to your destiny. It will be a walk of obedience even when it doesn’t make sense. Like Paul, we want to finish the race and complete our destiny.
Every Olympic ceremony begins with an inspiring procession of athletes from all the participating countries marching into the stadium under their country’s banner or flag. The flag identifies them with their nation and becomes a rallying point for athletes and fans. The Bible talks in a number of places of His banner that flies over us, a banner of love and truth.
Real faith doesn’t just agree with God, there is a corresponding action that goes with it. Can a faith that never moves save you? It is more than believing God exists, even the demons believe He exists, it is acting on what He says because you know He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.
Scripture defines faith as substance and evidence, a present guarantee and a satisfying conviction, formed by hearing God’s Word. As we consider what it means to live in faith and live out faith, we are reminded that faith is a reasoned trust that seeks God, knows Him, and responds in obedience.
Faith is not just what we believe, it’s how we live. In Scripture, to walk with God speaks of our daily choices, direction, and way of life. Enoch’s story shows us that true faith is lived out through a faithful walk that pleases God.
Walking by faith means trusting God beyond what we see, obeying even when we don’t fully understand, and choosing God over circumstances each day.
Faith is revealed in what we bring to God, not just what we believe. In the story of Cain and Abel, two offerings look similar, but only one is accepted because it is given by faith and obedience. Today we face the same choice: the way of Cain, or the way of Abel.
Hebrews 11:3 shows that we understand creation by faith, a faith God has given to every believer, not a special kind reserved for a few. Everyone places faith in something, and Christian faith trusts a personal God who spoke the universe into existence, giving life meaning and hope. We exercise faith by believing God’s Word and speaking it, just as God created by speaking. The greatest act of faith is trusting God’s plan of redempt...
The Bible tells us the "just shall live by faith," and Hebrews 11 shows us ordinary people who trusted God when it would have been easier not to, choosing His voice over fear, comfort, or crowd opinion. Over the next few months, we will study these “hall of faith” characters and discover that no matter what situation we face, with God on our side, faith always has another move.
