The Humility of Christ: Jesus Didn’t Look Like a King (Philippians 2:3-7)

December 21, 2025 • 22 mins
The Humility of Christ is one of the most profound and misunderstood truths in all of Scripture. Few illustrations help us grasp it better than the contrast we see in Undercover Boss—a television show where a CEO disguises himself, puts on the clothes of an ordinary worker, and enters the world of his employees unnoticed. He changes his appearance, puts on the clothes of a worker, and enters their world unnoticed. The people around...

When Herod Met Jesus: Curiosity Without Commitment (Luke 23:6–12)

December 15, 2025
I can’t remember exactly when it was—probably in my late teens or early college years—that I watched The Last Temptation of Christ by Martin Scorsese. I don’t recall a single scene from it, which tells you how little lasting value it had. The movie opens with a disclaimer: “This film is not based on the Gospels, but upon a fictional exploration of the eternal spiritual conflict.” In other words, it is openly blasphemous. When Herod...

Jesus on Trial Before Pilate (Luke 23:1–5) | Expository Sermon & Video

December 8, 2025 • 50 mins
In 1996, during the Summer Olympics in Atlanta, security guard Richard Jewell spotted a suspicious backpack beneath a stadium bench. He immediately began evacuating the area, rightly suspecting it was a bomb, and because of his quick actions, lives were saved when the device exploded. For a brief window of time, he was hailed a hero. But almost overnight, everything changed. The media needed a villain, the FBI needed a suspect, ...

Jesus on Trial: Human Depravity and the Innocent Son of God (Luke 22:63–71)

December 2, 2025 • 45 mins
When Jesus was on trial before the religious leaders as the innocent Son of God, they rejected, abused, and condemned Him. Luke highlights both the depth of human depravity and the innocence of Christ, the One who endured injustice to bring sinners to God. https://youtu.be/pNbDTkUHUSA Table of contentsJesus on Trial: The Larger Context of His Six TrialsThe First Jewish Trial — Before Annas (John 18:12–24)The Second Jewish T...

Shimei’s False Repentance: How Bitterness Destroys a Heart (2 Samuel 16–19)

November 24, 2025
Shimei is one of the most overlooked—but most instructive—figures in the Old Testament. His story appears briefly in 2 Samuel 16–19, and Shime's false repentance reveals one of Scripture’s most sobering truths: confession is not the same as repentance. When King David fled Jerusalem during Absalom’s rebellion, Shimei came out cursing, throwing stones, kicking up dust, and accusing David of every evil under the sun. He called Dav...

The Madness of Sin and the Wisdom of Walking with God (1 Samuel 22–26)

November 10, 2025 • 28 mins
King Saul’s life in 1 Samuel 22–26 reveals how unrepentant sin can destroy the mind and heart. Saul’s jealousy of David grew into paranoia, self-pity, and ultimately madness. Yet David, who walked closely with God, displayed peace and wisdom. Learn that true wisdom—and true mental and spiritual stability—come only from walking with God. https://youtu.be/lWwGBiHE5nA Table of contentsSin Can Cause Mental IllnessSaul's Violent...

When the Body Fails but the Soul Grows Strong: An Eternal Perspective on Suffering (2 Corinthians 4:16-18)

November 3, 2025 • 26 mins
There’s something uniquely difficult about physical suffering. Pain, weakness, and aging can leave us discouraged. Satan understood this well. After taking everything from Job—his possessions and children—he still believed he hadn’t touched the area that mattered most. “Stretch out your hand and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face” (Job 2:4-5). And yet, Job didn’t curse God. The apostle Paul reminds us ...

Saul’s Hollow Confession: When Saying ‘I Have Sinned’ Isn’t Repentance (1 Samuel 15)

Achan’s Hidden Sin: How Secret Disobedience Destroys Lives (Joshua 7)

October 20, 2025 • 24 mins
Have you ever thought you could keep a sin hidden—something no one would ever find out about? That’s exactly what Achan believed in Joshua 7. He took what God had forbidden, buried it beneath his tent, and assumed it would remain secret. But what Achan tried to hide ended up destroying his family, weakening his nation, and separating him from God. The story of Achan’s hidden sin reveals a sobering truth: there is no such thing as p...

Balaam: Saying “I Have Sinned” Without Changing (Numbers 22)

October 13, 2025 • 26 mins
In Numbers 22, Balaam said, “I have sinned,” but he never truly repented. His story is one of the clearest examples in Scripture of a person who sounded spiritual while living in disobedience.

Pharaoh’s False Repentance: When “I Have Sinned” Isn’t True Repentance

October 7, 2025 • 47 mins
When Pharaoh’s false repentance is compared with Abraham’s obedience, the midwives’ courage, and Moses’ intercession, we learn what genuine fear of God looks like—and why fear of God produces obedience. We should examine ourselves because repeated unrepentance can lead to a hardened heart, just as it did with Pharaoh. https://youtu.be/a-ue7H8kTz8 Table of Contents Introduction: History and Pharaoh Judas, Pharaoh, and...

Peter Wept Bitterly: How God Turns Failure into Repentance (Luke 22:61-62)

September 15, 2025 • 51 mins
Peter wept bitterly because God turned his failure into repentance. Explore why Peter wept bitterly (Luke 22:61–62). A single, providential look from Jesus pierced his heart, and brokenness became the path to restoration (Psalm 51:17; John 21). If you’ve failed publicly or privately, there is hope: the same Savior who saw Peter sees you. Peter wept bitterly—and grace met him there. https://youtu.be/RgcgFxbg4AM Table of cont...

Peter Denies Christ: Pride, Prayerlessness, and Sin’s Downward Spiral (Luke 22:54-60)

September 9, 2025
When Peter denies Christ, Scripture exposes a sober path from pride to prayerlessness, to rash self-confidence, and finally to denial. Learn how Peter's three denials of Christ become a gracious warning for every disciple—so we “watch and pray” instead of falling. Drawing from the text and historical context, we can trace sin's downward spiral. https://youtu.be/cerQpiF4JGI Table of contentsThe Groundwork Is Laid Before The ...
