Entrenched In The Truth

Whose Church Is It? Restoring the biblical Blueprint of the Church

The modern church has inherited a model shaped more by the marketplace than by Scripture — a model built on experience, entertainment, and consumer preference that creates audiences instead of disciples. This series is a return to the blueprint. Over eight weeks, we will ground ourselves in what Christ designed the church to be, call every member to full surrender to Christ and active participation in the body, and release this congregation into the mission it exists to fulfill — the making of disciples in Loveland, in Colorado, and to the ends of the earth.

Living In Light of The Resurrection

On Resurrection Sunday we stood together at an empty tomb. We examined the witnesses, we weighed the evidence, The responses of those witnesses, and we were reminded that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is NOT a tradition we observe once a year — it is the central historical event on which the entire Christian faith stands or falls. We closed with an extraordinary promise: that because Jesus walked out of that grave, so shall we. The same power that raised Him dwells in every believer, and your resurrection is not a wish — it is a certainty.But a question naturally follows. Now that Resurrection Sunday has come and gone — now that the declaration has been made and the evidence has been examined — where do we go from here? What does an empty tomb actually demand of the people who believe in it? How does the resurrection change the way we live on a Monday morning, in the middle of a chaotic world, in bodies that are wearing out, facing pressures that don't let up?The Apostle Paul answers that question in a single verse. One verse that carries the full weight of 57 verses of careful theological argument before it. This Sunday we are going to live in that verse together — unpacking what it demands, why it carries that authority, and what it looks like in the daily, practical reality of a life lived in light of an empty tomb.

He is Risen: The Evidence, the Witnesses, and the Weight of It All

This Resurrection Sunday we walked through Mark 16 together and I was reminded of something that never gets old — the tomb isn't just empty. It's proof. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in every believer. Your resurrection isn't a hope or a wish. It's a certainty secured by an historical event. He is risen — and because He is risen, so shall we be

Biblical Forgiveness: A Decision of The Will

Forgiveness is not a feeling. It is a decision. It is an act of the will, grounded in theology, commanded by God, and made possible only by the grace that has already been extended to you. You do not wait to feel like forgiving. You choose to forgive because God, in Christ, chose to forgive you.

Joy in the Presence of God Psalm 16:8-11

In a world that relentlessly chases happiness yet remains anxious, unstable, and dissatisfied, Scripture offers a far deeper and lasting joy—one that is rooted not in circumstances, but in the presence of God.In Psalm 16:8–11, we examine David’s confident declaration of joy, stability, and hope, even in the midst of uncertainty. This passage reveals our responsibility to intentionally set the Lord before us, the blessing of God’s nearness, and the resulting joy that flows from walking daily in His presence.We will explore how:1. Keeping God at the center of our lives produces spiritual stability2. The nearness of God brings deep, unshakable joy and security3. Resurrection hope, ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ, frees us from fear and despairTrue and lasting joy is found not in what God gives, but in who God isWith rich New Testament connections and practical applications, this message encourages believers to press into God daily, abide in Christ, and experience the fullness of joy that only He can provide—both now and for eternity.Whether you are weary, searching, or longing for deeper spiritual joy, this teaching calls you back to the only source that never fails: the presence of the Lord.“In Your presence there is fullness of joy.” — Psalm 16:11
