Light shines into darkness. In this sermon, Pastor John Tucker walks us through a few passages as we ask, "What does it mean to be a disciple?" Join us as we explore the cost of discipleship, the blessing of being a peacemaker, and the significance of understanding our salvation in the Lord.

What does it mean to be salt and light in a dark and dying world? As we reflect on the tragic loss of Charlie Kirk last week, we hear Christ's call that we be peacemakers, confronting sin and darkness with the light of the Gospel. "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places" (Ephesians 6:10-12, NASB) Interested in learning about CBC?

"Pride is the posture of the devil." As we continue our series on Luke 14, we work through Jesus's parable about the consequences of pride and the recognition of humility. Pride is a perilous condition and a barrier to grace, as Scripture repeatedly tells us: "God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble."

What happened when the Pharisees invited Jesus to lunch? How does He turn this meal into a lesson about compassion & self-righteousness? Luke 14 confronts us with the peril of clinging to extra-biblical commandments, as we're asked whether we see our own bondage to trusting in everything we have (or haven't) done.

"All of these stories drive us to the fact that in the Kingdom, I recognize, as a very core principle of my citizenship, that I am forgiven of a magnitude of sin that I cannot comprehend." In Luke 15, we witness God welcoming sinners and showing generosity to the undeserving. In the same chapter, we find the Old Testament story of Jacob & Esau -- a story Jesus uses to teach us about compassion, forgiveness, and acceptance.

How does God receive sinners at the end of themselves? In this sermon, Pastor John Tucker takes us through a parable of two sons. In this story, Jesus makes it known: He is compassionate to the sinner with nothing left.

It's tempting to rely on experience for assurance.However, our experiences sink low & soar high, day by day.

Spiritual death, a lonely & isolated condition against the cross of Christ, is our inheritance as Adam's descendants.In this sermon, Noah Rastetter explores the condition, actions, & needs of mankind apart from Christ. As we explore being "an enemy of the cross," listen to how Jesus Christ wipes out this reality, bringing hope & fellowship to the far-off.

Why should Christians act with urgency?Time is fleeting. As we continue exploring the parables, Pastor John Tucker explores how Jesus teaches us to share the Gospel in light of our limited time on Earth.

Why is it important we prioritize preaching?As we close our series on the Parable of the Good Samaritan, we explore the contrasting attitudes of Martha & Mary in Luke 10:38-42. In this sermon, Pastor John Tucker explains focusing on the eternal over the temporary.

What does the Parable of the Good Samaritan tell us about the law & gospel?As we conclude our series on the Parable of the Good Samaritan, Pastor John Tucker explains this passage with Romans 7-8. Here, we climb through Romans 7 to the peak of the book, declaring no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus.

Why is the Gospel good news?With the Parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus teaches us our impossibility of fulfilling God's Law. In this sermon, Pastor John Tucker shows us the peril of thinking we can justify ourselves, while leading us to Jesus Christ, who alone gives eternal life.

What is required to inherit eternal life?In this sermon, Pastor John Tucker introduces an encounter between Jesus Christ and a lawyer who thinks he has it all figured out. However, through the Parable of the Good Samaritan, we see the requirements to inherit eternal life, and ultimately our desperate need for mercy.

Throughout the Gospels, Jesus lays incredible importance on fruitfulness. What does it mean, then, to be fruitful?In this sermon, Pastor John Tucker explains the fourth group Jesus identifies in His Parable of the Sower: those who bear fruit, in Christ, by faith alone.

Apostate or backslidden?In Luke 8:14, Jesus identifies one group of listeners by their lack of mature fruit over the course of their lives. Pastor John Tucker, in this sermon, explains the perilous nature of this group and how it differs from one marked by empowered steadfastness and perseverance.

Jesus delivers His famous Parable of the Sower to a varied audience, which He divides into four categories. As we continue our series on select Parables, Pastor John Tucker explains the defining characteristics of the first three groups.
