It's easy for us to think that our comfort is the thing that matters most. But God has not called us to a life of convenience; Christ died for us that we should no longer live for ourselves, but go out and do His will.

The Incarnation of our Blessed Lord is why we celebrate this time of year. But how long do we celebrate and what are some of the reasons that we celebrate for so long? Join Taylor and Father Mark as they dive into Christmas! 

Located in the heart of downtown Maryville, Coram Deo Baptist Church (formerly Pleasant Grove at College Street) was founded as a church plant of Pleasant Grove Baptist Church in 2017.

When we say, "I'm following Jesus," where exactly are you following Him? Heaven? Many feel they follow Jesus with good behaviors because they hope for a good life today and a subsequently good eternal life. As we all know, our good behavior cannot earn or purchase this everlasting life. Still, we feel that wrong or immoral behaviors can jeopardize the immediate and potential eternal reward of following Jesus.  Is this work-for-reward arrangement in the Scriptures? In no place do we hear Jesus or His apostles offering followers a faith-laced idea of this sort. Jesus didn't provide followers a pathway to be "good people" to enjoy a "good life" and gain a good afterlife. In a seemingly different context, He made declarations about His coming Kingdom. The proofs of those who advance into His Kingdom would consist of, according to Matthew chapter 5, mourners who needed comfort, gentle and submissive ones who would inherit the earth, those who hunger and were thirst-driven for righteousness, and ones who obtain mercy by being merciful. His followers were to be peacemakers amidst calamities. Jesus also noted that His followers would be persecuted. They would be derided for His sake. However, they would experience a greater reward in His Kingdom.  Is this the life you experience? Are you in this Kingdom? It's easy to minimize the life Jesus came to deliver to mere religious adherence, but what if there is more to following Him than you've been experiencing? Listen in as Pastor Stephen discusses this in this message.

Sermon Series on 2 Corinthians by Pastor Chris Bossio

Author: Mark Lincoln, Scripture Reference: Hebrews 9:23-24, Series: Hebrews: Holding Fast to Christ

It's easy for us to think that our comfort is the thing that matters most. But God has not called us to a life of convenience; Christ died for us that we should no longer live for ourselves, but go out and do His will.

Last weekend, we launched this sermon series on the life of Joseph whose story is told in Genesis 37-50. He is best known for his coat of many colors, but there is so much more to his life than his coat. However, the hero of his story is not Joseph, but God and God alone. Joseph's story is a story of God's providence, and God's providence is best defined as GOD FOR US. God cares for us, provides for us and guides us through life. You will see God do this very work in Joseph's life as we continue our study in Genesis 37:12-36. What happens in the rest of this chapter will set the stage for the rest of Joseph's life. It will be a winding and troubled road – switchback after switchback – but you will see God plotting a course for Joseph. God will manage Joseph's troubles so much so that at the end of his story, Joseph will exclaim “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good…” (Genesis 50:20).

It's easy for us to think that our comfort is the thing that matters most. But God has not called us to a life of convenience; Christ died for us that we should no longer live for ourselves, but go out and do His will.

Matthew 1:18-25Just as light reveals darkness the story of Christmas reveals three amazing truths. It reveals our urgent need, an unexpected solution, and our need for unconditional surrender. We are also reminded through the incarnation of Jesus that God is with us and God is for us. 

As Pastor Alex says in this message, “Heaven’s first public statement about the arrival of Jesus is that Good News will cause great joy for all the people.” Surprising, right? Given that Jesus arrives as Israel's promised king, you might expect the announcement to be more like, “This is good news of great joy for […]

God With Us; God For Us (John 11:20-44)

You can join us and listen to each message and then catch our Message Re-Cap Podcast on each Wednesday where Executive Pastor Justin Oswald and Lead Pastor Brad Livingston have an in-depth discussion about this week's message. Thank you for taking the time to connect with us and with God through this message!   This week Pastor Brad brings the message from the The Glorious GOD Series with God For Us.

For many Christians in the American South —especially younger people— churches do not feel welcoming. People who don't look, think, believe, or live as we do are telling us as much. Some who claim the name of Jesus engage in blatant lies, gaslight the hurting, and even physically harm others. Human anatomy is often more important to becoming a leader than good character, empathy, and basic competence are. Many folks confuse “what the Bible says” with their own narrow interpretation of Scripture, boldly claiming “it's always been this way.” But has it always been this way? I began asking this question over a decade ago without even realizing. A series of bad church experiences finally sent me looking for answers. What I've discovered, and am still discovering, is that the answer is no, it has not always been this way. I was recently invited to share about the crises many churches find themselves in with a group of fellow believers in my home city of Memphis, TN. Most are in their twenties and thirties and are —or previously were— deeply engaged at their churches. Some are trying to turn the tide of a fracturing community they love. Others have already left hurt and confused. But they all love Jesus and are searching for something better. And that better something is out there waiting for us to find. Scripture invites us into a deep and rich conversation about how the community of God should and does change, as does 2,000 years of the historic Christian tradition. Both can help us identify the main problem that lurks behind so many of our challenges today. And both offer us a path forward for renewing the Church in our time.

So what happens when you worship the creator God whose plan to rescue the world and put it to rights has been accomplished in Jesus? Because you were made in God's image, worship makes you more truly human. When you gaze in love and gratitude at the God in whose image you were made, you do indeed grow. You discover more of what it means to be fully alive. -N.T.

The most loving thing God can do for us is glorify himself, because God himself is the greatest gift he can ever give us.

When we clamor for praise, we are prideful and petty. But when God commands us to praise him, he is loving us to the uttermost.
