The Truth Behind The Sermon

Live Sermon | What Do You Want?

Coveting is one of those sins that doesn’t always look like sin at first. It can sound like “I deserve better,” “I need the upgrade,” or “If I had their life, I’d finally have peace.” We take the Tenth Commandment, Exodus 20:17, and slow it down until it stops being a dusty rule and starts reading like a mirror for our daily thoughts, attitudes, and emotions. Dr. J. Perry Fowler explains why this commandment is different from the others: it confronts what’s happening underneath the surface. We talk about how feelings can hijack our decision making, why the Holy Spirit works to anchor our emotions in truth, and how Scripture can describe both godly desire (hungering for the things of God and spiritual gifts) and greedy coveting (an inward longing for what belongs to someone else). Along the way, we connect ancient examples to modern ones: homes, marriages, jobs, money, health, and the constant pull to compare. The message gets painfully practical through stories and Scripture, from Eden’s “pleasant tree” to Paul learning contentment, from the rich young ruler to the rich fool building bigger barns. One of the clearest pictures is the idea of covetousness as a squatter that moves into your mind and heart and starts rearranging your peace. The only real eviction notice is surrendering control and putting Jesus on the throne, until we can honestly say, “I’d rather have Jesus.” If you’ve been carrying that restless sense that something is missing, press play and let God challenge your cravings.

Live Sermon | The Trophy Dad

Fatherhood can feel like a test you never studied for, and that’s exactly why Ephesians 6:4 lands with such power. We open with God’s simple, direct charge: don’t stir your kids toward anger, but bring them up with discipline and instruction that points to the Lord. From there, we talk plainly about the pressure men carry, the quiet questions dads ask, and the hope God offers when you want to lead your family with real faith. We break down three vivid pictures of biblical fatherhood that make Christian parenting practical. First, a dad is a trophy, not for ego, but as a public sign of integrity that kids can share in with pride. Second, a dad is a trainer, raising children the way a coach prepares an athlete, shaping character as much as behavior. Then we walk through four parenting phases (bonding, training, coaching, bleachers) to help you know what your child needs now and how to let go without checking out. We close with the image of a tiller, cultivating an environment where the Word of God can take root, and we hold space for anyone who didn’t have a dad to look up to. The good news is simple: God is Father, and through Jesus there are no orphans in the family of God. If you want a Father’s Day sermon that’s both Christ-centered and deeply usable for raising godly children, hit play, then subscribe, share with a dad you love, and leave a review so more families can find it.

Live Sermon | No Other Gospel | Pastor Chaston

A one-degree error doesn’t feel like rebellion, it feels like normal life until you hit the rocks. We’re in Galatians 1 with a blunt warning from Paul: turning from the gospel is not just switching ideas, it’s deserting the God who called us by the grace of Christ. When “grace alone” quietly becomes “grace plus works,” the message can still sound Christian, still use Bible words, still point to Jesus and yet become a counterfeit that cannot save.  We unpack what was happening in the churches of Galatia, why adding religious requirements like circumcision and rule-keeping strikes at the heart of justification, and how distorted teaching spreads today through platforms, personalities, and the pressure to please people. Along the way, we talk about why the authority of the gospel sits in the message itself, not the charisma of the messenger, and why Paul uses such severe language when the truth is bent. The stakes are not theoretical; we’re talking about souls, families, and eternities.  Then we get practical. We trace the slow drift from apathy to atrophy to apostasy, and we make the case that the gospel is not an “intro lesson” for new believers but the lifeblood of the whole Christian life. We also push back on treating the gospel like a product to sell in a consumer culture, and we call every believer to real discernment by knowing the genuine gospel so well that counterfeits stand out instantly.  We end where hope always begins: “but God.” If you’re tired, drifting, or still stuck in the “dead in sin” part of the story, the good news is that salvation is a gift received by grace through faith, purchased by Christ crucified and confirmed by the resurrection.

Thou Shalt Not Lie

A lie can feel like a tiny shortcut until you realize it’s been quietly rewriting who you are. We start with stories that are honestly hilarious (prank calls, a window-paint “joke” that crossed a line, and a car that definitely didn’t “just break”), then we shift into why the ninth commandment, “You shall not bear false witness,” is far more than a rule about not getting caught. For anyone searching for Christian advice on honesty, integrity, and trust, this conversation goes straight to the heart: truthfulness is about character. We dig into how deception shows up in everyday life: not only deliberate lies, but also the smoother, more subtle kind that spins a story to manipulate outcomes. We also talk about gossip and why it clings to people even after it’s proven false. That lingering damage is one reason Scripture treats lying as serious, especially given the commandment’s courtroom roots where false testimony carried life-or-death consequences. The thread underneath it all is spiritual: Satan’s first recorded attack isn’t violence, it’s deception, and twisting words is still one of the most effective tools against us. Then we get practical. How do we tell the truth with grace, not harshness? What does accountability look like inside real friendships and real church community? And for the person listening who’s currently stuck in a lie, we offer simple, direct counsel: don’t stay in the dark, come clean, and start rebuilding trust today.

Live | Thou Shalt Not Lie

A “small” lie never stays small. When we take the Ninth Commandment seriously “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor” we start seeing how deception quietly rewires our relationships, our integrity, and even our spiritual direction. We talk plainly about why this may be the easiest commandment to break, why the world normalizes it, and why God calls His people to something better: a life built on truth that lasts. We also pull back the curtain on the spiritual battle behind everyday dishonesty. Satan traffics deception, questions God’s Word, and repeats the same strategy he used in Genesis: casting doubt on God’s character, God’s promises, and God’s authority. If Jesus is “the truth,” then learning to speak truthfully is part of becoming more like Him, not just cleaning up our language. From there, we get practical about how lies show up: deliberate lies, deceitful exaggeration and half-truths, and the destructive power of gossip that steals a person’s good name. Then we land on the best news we can offer: Jesus died for all liars. Scripture doesn’t let us rank sins to feel safe, but it does point us to a Savior who carried every sin to the cross and rose again to prove His promises are true.
