Acts 2:43-47 Recovering a Covenant Lens

April 12, 2026 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

It can be difficult for baptists to think in terms of covenant. In this sermon Pastor Carr shows how Luke necessitates that we think in terms of covenant realities even when we are tempted to get swept up in descriptive narrative.

Romans 12:17-21 No Retaliation: Overcoming Evil With Good – A Counterintuitive Offensive Strategy (Part 2 of 2) 


March 29, 2026 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

When evil is done to you, one question matters: will evil only wound you, or will it recruit you? Why would we imitate the evil done to us and thereby multiply it? Romans 12:17–21 forbids revenge, forbids fleshly retaliation, and commands believers to answer evil with good. Listen as Pastor Matt explain how striking back […]

Survey of Leviticus

March 25, 2026 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

Pastor Carr shows how Leviticus answers the question of how a sinful people can approach the holy God who dwells among them. He gives special attention to the offerings and sacrifices and how they point to Christ.

Romans 12:14-16 No Retaliation: Overcoming Evil With Good – A Counterintuitive Offensive Strategy (Part 1 of 2) 


March 22, 2026 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

When evil comes against the church, how should we respond? In Romans 12:14–16, Paul gives an answer that cuts against every fleshly instinct: bless persecutors, enter into the joys and sorrows of the body, and do not let pride rule your heart. Join us as we consider how God calls His people to overcome evil […]

Romans 12:9-13 From Cooperation to Prioritization: Loving the Body of Christ

March 15, 2026 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

In a world shaped by mere self-interest and shallow connection, God calls His people to something deeper. Romans 12:9–13 gives us a vision of unfeigned love—love that hates evil, clings to what is good, and gives itself for the good of the saints. Come hear what covenantal love looks like in the body of Christ.

Survey of Genesis

March 11, 2026 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

The importance of Genesis cannot be understated. If we misunderstand what is happening in the opening book of the Bible we will inevitably miss the gospel and all of the rich blessings God has for his people. Listen as Pastor Carr walks through the foundational book of the Bible.

Romans 12:3-8 From Multiplication to Cooperation: Living as the Body of Christ

March 8, 2026 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

Last week Pastor Matt showed how the power of multiplication enabled the apostles and the early church to change the world so quickly. Godly men became examples for others to imitate, and those who followed their example became examples themselves. As that life-on-life discipleship continued, the gospel “sounded forth” not only in Macedonia and Achaia, […]

March 4, 2026 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

Bible surveys are often dismissed as too elementary, but they offer many benefits to even the most knowledgeable believers. Pastor Carr begins this series by walking through the various genres of the Bible and how they related to the covenantal life of the people of God.
