We are often told that we need to overcome our sin, but we are never told how. If we are, people make killing sin into legalism. Spoiler: Fighting sin isn't the battle of willpower many assume. Christ's yoke is easy. His burden is light.By christoa.com
If you are giving because you feel you have to. Stop. Your offering does not honor God. Fruit consistent with repentance to Christ is contrary to the self-entitlement of the world. The Holy Spirit moves God's people to be generous. God's people are liberal in their giving because they realize they have been entrusted with God's creation--money, tim…

Vanity, vanity. All is vanity. Even good people die. When we do, nothing we've done in life matters. All of our knowledge, success, status, and pursuits die with us. What's the point? Is there really meaning at all?By christoa.com
It's time to fight back! It's time to take back what is ours! It's time to get our way! How the Christian fights against bullies, persecution, and government. Vengeance is the Lord's. His purpose for vengeance is redemption, not destruction.By christoa.com
Scripture does not explicitly address the racism of our day because the racism of our day is fairly new. It does, though, address systemic oppression. God condemns those who oppress others. He instructs His people to practice humility, contentment, and servanthood whether or not they are oppressed or persecuted.…

David sought God's will. Saul sought confirmation and justified his own beliefs, thoughts, and actions. Both men believed they were serving God, but there is a very real difference between seeking God's kingdom and righteousness and seeking our own kingdoms and righteousness.By christoa.com
When we cast blame on others, we force ourselves to make assumptions, judge unjustly, and act unjustly toward others. Jesus taught His disciples to remove the plank from their own eyes before helping a brother or sister remove a speck. In this sermon, we see the doctrine of imputation and the Great Exchange.…

God's favor is relentless. His love is unconditional. He does all the work. His burden is light. Two questions: (1) Must we cooperate with God? (2) How can God favor His people if He is supposedly impartial?By christoa.com
There are many who have run the race before us. Just as God disciplined His children then, He does now. May we treasure God's discipline, which is meant for the good of His people.By christoa.com

We can’t have the Gospel without the Law. Neither can we come to obey God’s Law without the Gospel. So, we reject any worldview that preaches anything like only Law (Mormonism, Jehovah’s Witness, Islam, Traditional Roman Catholicism, Fundamentalism, some reformed churches, some evangelical churches, etc…) or anything like only Gospel (Popular Prote…
Jesus taught about the cross when He dined with His disciples. The bread represents Christ's broken body. The wine represents His blood and the new covenant. That Passover meal pictorialized the substitutionary atonement and our continuing sanctification through Christ's shed blood. During Passover Jesus told us why He had to suffer and die on our …
There are many people who harden their hearts when they hear God’s word or see God’s work. I have known many of them in the church and have considered them to be my brothers and sisters. Then one day, they are gone because things are not the way they are supposed to be. If God provides all things according to His will, we cannot rightly say things …

When I say I love you, what I mean is I am loyal to you no matter what and I'm sincerely interested in your good because I consider you to be more important than me. There are so many people teaching so many different things about what love is. Here, we compare those definitions to Biblical, Christian love. We get to address some false teaching fro…

If you haven't watched any other sermon that we've put out this year, watch this one. Three takeaways: 1. We can only be cleansed by the power of Christ's word.2. A true Christian bears real, godly fruit. Those who play religion but don't bear fruit are being prepared to be burned.3. If we abide in Christ and His word abides in us, we will bear muc…
