Hello. We're Church 213, a baptist church from Covington, GA. We're so glad that you're listening to our sermons here. If you're impacted in some way by these messages, please contact us at office@church213.com, we'd love to connect with you.

We're so glad you're joining us for this Easter message, “He Lives… We Are Changed.” In Matthew 28:1–20, we see that the resurrection of Jesus does not simply give us something to celebrate, but someone who changes everything. Because He lives, we are moved to worship, invited to begin again by grace, and called to serve others in His name.As this message unfolds, we are reminded that the risen Christ meets people in their fear, restores them in their weakness, and sends them out with purpose. Thank you for listening as we reflect on the truth that because Jesus lives, our lives can be changed.

We're so glad you're joining us for this Easter message, “The Promises of Easter.” In John 14, Jesus speaks peace to troubled hearts and reminds us that the empty grave is not just a past event to celebrate, but a present hope to live in. Because He lives, we have comfort for the future, the assurance of God's presence through the Holy Spirit, and a peace the world could never give.As you listen, be encouraged that the resurrection of Jesus means you do not have to face fear, uncertainty, or sorrow alone. The promises of Easter still speak, still comfort, and still call us to trust the risen Christ.

We're so glad you're joining us for this message, “Doubt is No Rival for The Arrival.” On Palm Sunday, we turn to John 20 and see how the risen Jesus meets His disciples in fear and Thomas in doubt, revealing that His wounds speak directly to both.This message explores how Jesus forms faith in the context of His presence and His people—and how seeing His wounds moves us from hesitation to action.Thanks for joining us as we grow together in trusting and following the risen Christ.

We're so glad you're joining us as for this message, “A God Who Is Close.” In Psalm 139, we are reminded of the deeply personal nature of the God we serve. He knows us completely, is present with us always, has purposefully formed every part of our lives, and calls us into a life of holiness before Him.As we reflect on His nearness, we are also invited to respond by opening our hearts before Him and yielding our lives fully to His will.Thanks for joining us as we grow together in knowing and walking with a God who is truly near.

Welcome to Church 213.As we come to the close of this year, we pause to reflect on the faithfulness of God.In this message, Finding God's Goodness in Looking Back, we turn to Genesis 9:8–17 and the covenant God made with Noah after the flood. This passage reminds us that even after seasons of hardship, God remains faithful to pursue His people and keep His promises.From the rainbow in the sky to the cross of Christ, we are invited to remember God's past faithfulness so we can face the future with confidence and hope.

Welcome to the Church 213.This month we're stepping into a new Advent series called “Advent Songs for the Soul.”During this season of waiting, longing, and worship, we're slowing down to immerse ourselves in the rich theology behind the beloved carol O Come All Ye Faithful.Each week we'll walk through a few lines of this song, tracing how its lyrics echo the story of Scripture—calling us to behold Christ, adore Him, and join the faithful in worship as we anticipate His coming.Our prayer is that these messages deepen your joy, steady your hope, and tune your heart to the Savior's presence in this Advent season.

When walls of culture and color fall, the Kingdom shines brighter. Yesterday we were blessed by The Kaleidoscopic Call. We pray this message is a reminder that in Christ we are one body, commissioned together to reach the nations and love our neighbors.

Welcome to Church 213.In today's message, Being Thankful for the Savior, we turn to Hebrews 5 to see the beauty of Christ's compassion, His qualification as our eternal High Priest, and His active call for us to grow in maturity.As we deepen our knowledge of who Jesus is, we learn why we desperately need Him—and why gratitude naturally overflows from a life shaped by His grace. We pray this message encourages you, strengthens your faith, and draws you nearer to the Savior who stands for us.Thanks for listening.

Welcome to Church 213.Today we're talking about The Harvest for the Intentional Believer—a call to shape our homes with purpose, obedience, and love. God warns us about deception, but He also invites us to choose life, to walk with Him, and to sow seeds that lead to blessing.As we lean into Galatians and Deuteronomy, we're reminded to know God personally, love Him with all our heart, and teach the next generation by the way we live each day. We pray this message encourages you to plan well, trust deeply, and rest in the harvest God is bringing.Thanks for joining us in His Word.

Many believe the Bible says, “God won't give you more than you can handle.” But in 1 Corinthians 10:1–13, we see something different: temptation and trouble are a constant reality, regardless of culture, past victories, or personal strength. The hope isn't in our ability, but in God's presence, power, and promise to make a way of escape. Listen now and be encouraged to trust the God who handles what you can't.

In God's economy, greatness often looks like weakness. Scripture is full of overlooked, humble people God used in extraordinary ways. His glory shines brightest through our limitations—reminding us that His power moves differently than the world's. Through this series, we're being challenged to serve with humility and trust God to do big things through seemingly small lives.
