El Plan de Dios - God's Plan

What happens if you don’t follow the plan?

In this powerful bilingual sermon, Álvaro Moreno (translated by Ezequiel Moreno) explains God’s plan of salvation using a vivid construction analogy: if a builder ignores the blueprint, the project fails inspection.

The same is true spiritually.

📖 Key scriptures include:

• 1 John 5:13 – Assurance of eternal life
• John 8:58 – Jesus declares, “I AM.”
• Exodus 3:14 – The name of God
• Isaiah 35:4–5 – Prophecy fulfilled in Christ

🔥 Learn why:

• God’s plan is perfect
• Jesus is God in the flesh
• Ignoring Scripture leads to spiritual failure
• Obedience must happen NOW, not later

Don’t wait until judgment day to get it right.

 

👉 Follow God’s plan today.

Baptism Rebuttals

On Sunday morning, March 22, 2026, Cole Tuck delivered a bold and timely sermon addressing the intense online reactions to his previous lesson on baptism. Rather than avoiding criticism, he leaned into it, examining some of the most common objections people raise and comparing them directly with Scripture.

With clarity and conviction, the lesson dismantled popular arguments such as the thief on the cross, “faith only” salvation, baptism as a work, and extreme hypothetical scenarios. Each was carefully evaluated in context, revealing that many objections stem from misunderstanding Scripture rather than engaging with it.

At its core, the message was simple yet powerful: when we let the Bible speak for itself, the role of baptism in salvation is clear, consistent, and essential, not as a human work, but as a faithful response to God’s grace. 

Bible Class - Romans Part 25

On Sunday morning, March 22, 2026, Cole Tuck led the class into Romans 13, shifting deeper into the practical application section of the book. After laying a theological foundation in chapters 1–11 and a rapid-fire call to Christian living in chapter 12, Paul now addresses a challenging and often uncomfortable topic: the Christian’s relationship to government authority.

The lesson emphasized that while human governments are imperfect and sometimes deeply flawed, they still serve a God-ordained role in maintaining order and restraining evil. Without authority, society would collapse into chaos. Christians are called to submit, respect, and honor governing authorities, not only out of fear of consequences but for the sake of conscience and obedience to God.

At the same time, the class explored an important balance: submission does not mean blind approval. Believers can lawfully exercise their rights, speak truth, and advocate for change, while still maintaining a posture of respect. Ultimately, the goal is to live in such a way that our conduct supports the gospel rather than discredits it, being model citizens unless obedience to God requires otherwise.

Suffering Like Jesus

Why does suffering exist? Why would a loving God allow pain and hardship in the world?

In this sermon titled “Suffering Like Jesus,” Cole Tuck explores what the Bible teaches about suffering and how Christians are called to respond when life becomes difficult.  Jesus Himself experienced suffering, not only to bring salvation to the world but also to show believers how to endure hardship with faith, patience, and trust in God. Scripture reveals that trials can strengthen our faith, develop endurance, and even influence others who are watching how we respond.

When Christians suffer faithfully, their lives become a powerful testimony to the truth of the gospel.

This sermon examines:

• Why Jesus suffered
• Why Christians experience trials
• How suffering strengthens faith
• How our response to pain can point others to God

Even in the hardest moments of life, God can use suffering for a greater purpose.

📖 Key Scriptures:

• Hebrews 4:15–16
• Hebrews 5:7–9
• Isaiah 53
• James 1:2–4
• 1 Peter 2

Bible Class - Romans Part 24

On Sunday, March 15, 2026, Cole Tuck continued our Bible class study through the book of Epistle to the Romans, focusing on Romans 12:14–21.

In this passage, the apostle Paul explains how Christians should respond to persecution, conflict, and hostility. Rather than seeking revenge, believers are called to bless those who persecute them, pursue peace with others, and overcome evil with good.

This class explores:

• What it really means to bless others
• How Christians should speak about and treat enemies
• Why humility is essential to Christian unity
• How believers can live peaceably in a divided world
• Why vengeance belongs to God, not us

These teachings reflect the example and commands of Jesus Christ, who showed love even toward those who opposed Him.

What Does the Bible Really Say About Baptism?

On Sunday, March 8, 2026, Cole Tuck presented a powerful sermon examining what Scripture teaches about baptism and why it matters so deeply for every believer. In a world where many different ideas exist about baptism, the lesson focused on going back to the Bible itself. Scripture teaches that baptism is more than a religious ceremony involving water—it is an appeal to God for a clean conscience through the resurrection of Jesus Christ (1 Peter 3:21).

Through baptism, believers are:
• Forgiven of their sins (Acts 2:38)
• United with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection (Romans 6:3–4)
• Given the gift of the Holy Spirit

Baptism represents leaving the old life behind and beginning a new life with Christ. It is a step of faith, obedience, and trust in the saving power of Jesus.

The message also addressed common questions about baptism and reminded us that God does not expect perfection before we come to Him. Instead, He invites us to come to Him and allow Him to transform our lives.

If you have ever wondered about the purpose and importance of baptism, this sermon is a wonderful study straight from Scripture.

Bible Class - Romans Part 23

On Sunday morning, March 8, 2026, Cole Tuck led our Bible class through Romans 12:9–13, where Paul shifts from the deep doctrinal teaching of Romans 1–11 to the practical way Christians are called to live every day.

Paul presents a rapid-fire list of virtues that describe a transformed life:

• Love sincerely—without hypocrisy
  • Hate what is evil and cling to what is good
  • Be devoted to one another in brotherly love
  • Outdo one another in showing honor
  • Serve the Lord with diligence and zeal
  • Rejoice in hope during trials
  • Be constant in prayer
  • Share generously with fellow believers
  • Practice hospitality

The class discussed how genuine Christian love is not just outward politeness or rule-keeping—it is a heart changed by God’s grace.

One key point was learning to hate sin the way God hates it, even the “small” sins we often excuse, things like gossip, pride, laziness, or impatience. When we remember the true cost of sin, the sacrifice of Jesus, it changes how we see it.

We also talked about practical ways to grow in this transformed life:

• Praying for God’s perspective
  • Saturating our minds with Scripture
  • Filling our lives with good works that crowd out evil
  • Viewing everyday life as service to God—not just what happens on Sunday

Christian devotion is not limited to a building or a schedule. It’s a life of joyful hope, constant prayer, and generous love toward others.

📖 Romans 12 reminds us that faith in Christ is meant to reshape every part of how we live.
