In this message on Psalm 23:4, Eric Gentry draws us into the heart of the psalm’s most famous promise: “You are with me.” When life brings its darkest valleys, the gospel doesn’t merely offer abstract comfort — it gives us the concrete reality of Christ’s presence walking beside us. Eric shows how the psalm moves from general provision to an intimate, personal with-ness that changes everything: we’re not left alone to suffer, but held, guided, and comforted. This sermon will help you recognize the Shepherd’s voice in your darkest moments and carry the assurance of His presence into everyday life. If you need to be reminded that you are not alone in the valley, don’t miss this one.

Lacking Nothing: Witness the Withness (Psalm 23 Part 3) Eric Gentry

This Sunday, Eric shared a powerful message from our sixth Memory Verse of 2025 — Isaiah 43:1 — reminding us of the incredible truth that God both defines and redeems His people. Through the words, “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine,” we see a God whose love is constant—even when we fail to keep our promises, He keeps His. Eric reminded us that our identity isn’t found in what we do or deserve, but in whose we are. God made us, saved us, and calls us by name, welcoming us into His covenant family with full rights and belonging. No matter how far we’ve wandered, there is always a “But now…” moment waiting for us—because He does not change. Listen to this message and be encouraged by the One who keeps His promises and calls you His own.

Episode 7: When You Mess Up and Then Own It
In week seven of What’s a Dad to Do?, Jim Martin reminds fathers that mistakes are inevitable—but how we respond to them matters most. This session encourages dads to model humility by admitting when they’re wrong and seeking forgiveness. When fathers own their failures, they teach their children the power of honesty, grace, and starting again.

In this message, guest preacher Jonathan Storment challenges us to face one of the hardest truths of all—we don’t like kings… unless we’re the ones wearing the crown. Jonathan shows us  how every generation has tried to reshape Jesus into something more comfortable and less demanding. But the Gospel calls us to surrender to King Jesus, not edit Him down to fit our preferences. With clarity and conviction, he reminds us that our King wears a crown of thorns—and His rule brings freedom, not fear. Don’t miss this timely and inspiring message, “The King Jesus Gospel.”

The King Jesus Gospel: Jonathan Storment

In this week’s message, “>Conquerors” (Romans 8:1–4), Eric reminds us that what the law could never do, God did by sending His Son. This passage holds the heart of the gospel—there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Eric explores how Romans 8 offers deep assurance to anyone who has ever wondered, “Am I really okay with God?” and shows how Jesus not only removes our guilt but fills us with His Spirit so that we can live with confidence and peace. If you’ve ever longed for assurance, hope, or a fresh reminder of what it means to live “more than conquerors,” this message will speak straight to your heart.

In this week’s message, “More Than Conquerors- Part 2” (Romans 8:5–11), Eric explores what it really means to live by the Spirit and how the way we think shapes who we become. Building on last week’s assurance that there is no condemnation in Christ, this sermon moves to the next step—learning to set our minds on what the Spirit desires. Eric reminds us that the Christian life isn’t about willpower but Spirit-power, a divine strength that renews our minds, transforms our hearts, and fills our lives with peace. If you’ve ever struggled to change your thoughts or wondered how to find real life and joy in your walk with God, this message will help you take that next step toward living more than a conqueror.

>Conquerors: Part 2 (Romans 8:5-11) Eric Gentry

This week’s message from Romans 8:12–17 invites us to see the Christian life through two powerful callings—aspiration and mortification. Eric reminds us that while God has made us more than conquerors through Christ, we still face a daily battle with the “kudzu” of sin that tries to reclaim the ground God has freed. But we do not fight alone: the Spirit empowers us to put sin to death and to become who God envisions us to be. And as adopted sons and daughters of God, we fight not out of fear but out of identity—heirs with Christ, led by the Spirit, crying “Abba, Father.” This sermon is a strong encouragement to step into your freedom and live as the child of God you truly are.

>Conquerors: Part 3 (Romans 8:12-17) Eric Gentry

In this week’s Outreach Contribution message, Eric takes us to 3 John 5–8 to remind us why supporting mission work matters—because we are partnering with the truth itself. Through a powerful look at the cultural moment we’re living in, he asks, “How is the Truth doing?” and shows how God is bringing a surprising comeback as people hunger again for something real, solid, and trustworthy. Eric shares why the Spirit of Truth will never be extinguished and how our support of missionaries allows us to join in what God is already doing in the world. This sermon is a call to invest in what the Spirit is investing in—and to rediscover the kind of truth that lets our hearts finally rest.

In this week’s message from Romans 8, Eric reminds us that while the world is groaning and far from what it should be, Scripture names that reality honestly—and then gives us a hope big enough to hold it. Paul shows that our own longing for things to be made right is tied to something deeper: as God’s adopted children and co-heirs with Christ, we are being pulled toward a future glory where suffering gives way to purpose, presence, and renewal. Eric unpacks how Christ’s path from suffering to glory becomes our path too, and how creation itself is waiting for God’s sons and daughters to receive their full inheritance. This message reframes struggle, restores hope, and reveals the surprising connection between our transformation and the healing of the world. If you need encouragement today, this sermon will lift your eyes and anchor your heart.
