We exist to send disciple makers of Jesus by being disciple makers of Jesus. Located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Church at the Oaks is a vibrant multi-generational church. In this podcast, we will post sermons, provide encouragement, and challenge believers to change the world. Church at The Oaks is the third church in a family of churches called The Well Network. Our vision is to plant 16 churches in college cities across the southeast by 2026. Every three years every church in our network aims to send out a new church. We'll see you at Bryant Conference Center on Sundays at 10:30!

    Rise Up and Build // Nehemiah 13

    This week, Caleb led us through the final chapter of Nehemiah and taught us about the “pursuit of holiness.” Through the events of Nehemiah 13, we see that our pursuit is tied to three specific things: 1) our pursuit flows out of a personal relationship with God, 2) our pursuit continues by taking God seriously, and 3) our pursuit of holiness requires positive and negative action. Caleb reminded us that there is a “letting go of sin” (negative action) and “putting on of holiness” (positive action) that we need to strive for as Christians that the Israelites in Nehemiah 13 failed to do. Ultimately, we are called to and achieve holiness in God alone.
