  • Pt. 1 Built on the Gospel | 1 Timothy
    Sep 8 2025

    1 Timothy | Week 1 | September 7, 2025 Text: 1 Timothy 1:1–11 Speaker: Jonathan Beames What happens when the church builds on something other than the gospel? Why are man-made gospels so dangerous to our lives and to the church? Paul warns Timothy that speculation, pride, and misuse of the law will never produce faith or love. Instead, the true gospel exposes sin, humbles sinners, and leads to life in Christ. Only by building on the gospel can believers and churches stand firm. Key Points: - Build your life on the Gospel “The main things are the plain things and the plain things are the main things.” Alistair Begg - Reject Man-Made Gospels - Teach the Gospel to Yourself - Bring the Gospel to Church

  • Pt. 9 Do Not Lie | The Ten
    Aug 19 2025

    The Ten | Week 9 | August 17, 2025

    Text: Exodus 20:16 / 1 John 1:5–10

    Speaker: Jonathan BeamesThe ninth commandment is about more than lying in court. John reminds us that dishonesty, whether with our words, our actions, or even with ourselves, contradicts the very character of God, who is light and truth. Lies dishonor God by insulting His character, they dishonor others by breaking trust, and they dishonor us by convincing us we can find life apart from Christ. Key Points: - Dishonesty hurts God, Others and Us

    - We offend God by insulting his character

    - We hurt others by betraying a relational trust.

    - In Our Darkness, Jesus Offers Authentic Life

  • Pt. 8 Greed & Generosity | The Ten
    Aug 12 2025

    The Ten | Week 8 | August 11, 2025


    Text: Exodus 20:15 / Luke 19:1-10


    Speaker: Jonathan Beames


    Everybody steals. Greed lives in every human heart, whether through taking what isn’t ours or refusing to give what God calls us to. When Jesus called Zaccheus, the chief tax collector, He didn’t just save him from sin. He transformed him into a man of radical generosity. The gospel doesn’t only turn us from greed; it transforms us toward generosity.

    Key Points:

    - Jesus Calls Thieves

    - Jesus Calls Thieves to Generosity

    - Jesus Saves Us from Greed and to Generosity.

    - Kill Your Greed with Biblical Generosity.

    - Biblical Generosity Is a Discipline That Becomes a Mindset

    - Develop a Generous Heart

    • Love the Needy
    • Make a Missional Budget
    • Practice Hospitality

  • Pt. 7 Adultery & Lust | The Ten
    Aug 4 2025

    The Ten | Week 7 | August 4, 2025


    Text: Exodus 20:14 / Matthew 5:27-30


    Speaker: Jonathan Beames


    Lust isn't just a temptation. It kills us from the inside out. Jesus takes the seventh commandment and shows us that our lustful thoughts that we are all guilty of are just as deadly as physical adultery. We have to confront the shame that surrounds sexual sin with the hope that only grace can provide in Christ.


    Key Points:

    - The Problem: Lust Kills

    - Lust Denies the Personhood of Fellow Image Bearers.


    - Lust Rejects God’s Design for Marriage (thus it is an attack on God’s authority)


    - Lust Affirms Our Self Idolatry (breaks the first three commandments)


    - Kill Your Lust at All Cost (Matthew 5:29-30)


    Hebrews 12:4 ; Titus 2:11-14


    - Fight Your Lust through the Grace of Christ


    Shame says righteousness must be earned. Grace says righteousness is given.


    Shame says you can’t control your desires. Grace says all your desires are fulfilled in Christ.


    Shame says the only way to deal with your problem is to cover it up. Grace says God already knows your sin and he offers you freedom and hope in confession.

  • Pt. 6 Murder & Reconciliation | The Ten
    Jul 28 2025

    The Ten | Week 6 | July 27, 2025


    Text: Exodus 20:13 / Matthew 5:21-26


    Speaker: Jonathan Beames


    We tend to think we’re in the clear because we haven’t committed murder, but Jesus says the real issue begins much deeper. Jesus tells us that anger, contempt, and passive bitterness are just as dangerous, and He commands us to pursue reconciliation with urgency.


    Key Points: - Murder Starts with Hate

    Is your hate killing you?

    - Kill Your Anger with Gospel Reconciliation

    - Reconciliation Requires Us to Confess Sin

    Romans 12:18

    - Reconciliation Requires Us to Forgive

    Matthew 18:21-22

    - Reconciliation Requires Urgency

    Ephesians 4:26-27

  • Pt. 5 Parents & Authorities | The Ten
    Jul 20 2025

    The Ten | Week 5 | July 20, 2025

    Text: Exodus 20:12 / Ephesians 6:1-4

    Speaker: Jonathan Beames


    What do your parents have to do with your walk with God? What do they have to do with your relationship with others? God uses human authority, especially our parents, to shape us into the image of Christ to honor Him. It's not just about obedience in the home; it's about a heart that can submit to and trust God.


    Key Points:

    - Honor Authority by the Way You Live

    - Respect Every Authority with Your Actions and Words

    1 Peter 2:17

    - Exercise Authority Carefully

    - Submit Yourself to Other Believers

    - Submit Yourself to God and His Word

  • Pt. 4 Resting in God | The Ten
    Jul 20 2025

    The Ten | Week 4 | July 6, 2025

    Text: Exodus 20:8-11

    Speaker: Jonathan Beames

    Why does God command a day of rest and why does it have to be the seventh day? Sabbath rest was always meant to point beyond physical renewal to a deeper, eternal rest found only in Christ. More than just a break from work, the Sabbath invites us to remember God’s rhythm of creation, redemption, and restoration.


    Key Points:

    - The Sabbath Reminds Us that God Promises Perfect Rest

    John 5:17

    - Jesus has Perfect Rest at the Right Hand of the Father

    - Practice the Sabbath but Find Rest in Christ

    - Find the Things that Fill Your Tank

    - Resting In Christ is an Everyday Reality
