Knox Presbyterian Church Podcast

Do you ever feel as though you have to prove that you are good enough—or that you truly belong? Continuing our series No Other Gospel, we discover why rules can guide us but can never make us part of God’s family. Through faith in Christ, we are adopted as beloved children, welcomed to the family table, and given an inheritance no achievement could earn. You have nothing left to prove—so you are free to live by the law of love.
Galatians 3:19-4:7
Evan Young

What do you really believe—not only with your mind and heart, but with the way you live? Continuing our series No Other Gospel, we examine the things we trust to give us worth, security, and control—and why none of these “functional saviors” can take the place of Jesus. Discover how faith in Christ crucified gives us a new identity, a new community, and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit.
Galatians 3:1-14
Rev. Becca Bruner

What if the gospel is not simply meant to improve your life, but to transform it completely? Continuing our series *No Other Gospel*, we explore Paul’s declaration, “I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.” Discover what it means to die to the parts of ourselves that hold us back—and to find new life as the love and light of Christ shine through us.
Galatians 2:15-21
Rev. Dr. David Bruner

You have a story to tell—and your story matters. Continuing our series No Other Gospel, we turn to Paul’s remarkable testimony and discover that his journey is also, in many ways, the story of every Christian. We are claimed by God, called through grace, confirmed in God’s plan, and commissioned to serve. Where does your story fit within the greater story God is writing?
Galatians 1:10-24
Rev. Becca Bruner

Is Jesus enough—or do we keep trying to add something to the gospel? We begin our new series, No Other Gospel, with Paul’s passionate opening to Galatians and a warning rooted in love: adding to the good news can change it into something else entirely. Discover why Christ’s saving work needs no improvement—and why holding fast to that truth still matters today.
Galatians 1:1-9
Rev. Dr. David Bruner

The Bible can offer wisdom, understanding, and light for the path ahead—but it was never meant merely to sit unopened on a shelf or be studied as a collection of interesting ideas. In the final message of our Better Together series, we explore why reading Scripture is central to the Christian faith, how we can learn to listen for God’s voice through its pages, and why the Bible becomes especially powerful when we read and apply it together. Because Scripture doesn’t simply teach us about Jesus—it draws us toward him, until the living Word finds us, speaks to us, and takes hold of our lives.
Psalm 119, John 14:26
Rev. Becca Bruner & Debbie Sanders

When life hurts, one of the first things suffering can take from us is the sense that we’re not alone. But God never intended his people to face life’s hardest moments by themselves. In the second message of our Better Together series, we explore what it means to be a church that truly cares for one another—a church that shows up, reminds hurting people that God is present, and watches for the ways he is already at work. Because sometimes the clearest sign of God’s love is a prayer, a card, a visit, or a faithful friend who simply refuses to let us suffer alone.
James 5:13-16

We were never meant to do life—or faith—alone. But in a culture where isolation is increasingly common, genuine community can be difficult to find and even harder to prioritize. In the first message of our three-week series, Better Together, we explore what it really means to gather in Jesus’ name, why life-changing faith often grows when we move out of rows and into circles, and what becomes possible when we share life, Scripture, prayer, service, forgiveness, and sacrifice with one another. Because when two or three gather in his name, Jesus promises to show up—and when Jesus shows up, he can do what only he can do.

Think about the people who helped shape your faith.
Maybe it was a parent or grandparent.
A Sunday school teacher.
A pastor.
A friend who sat beside you during a difficult season.
Or maybe it was someone whose name you've nearly forgotten, but whose kindness showed you something about the character of God.
Faith was never meant to be something we figure out entirely on our own.
Psalm 145 describes one generation telling another about who God is and what God has done. Stories are shared. Wisdom is passed down. Burdens are carried together. And somewhere along the way, the people teaching us about faith discover that they're still learning too.
Today, as we continue our Yes & Amen series, we'll explore God's promise to form us through a community where young and old belong to one another—and where every generation has something to give and something to receive.
Because sometimes the most important story of faith you share may become part of someone else's story too.
Scripture: Psalm 145:1-7
Guest Preacher: Leslie Hanscom

How do you know if you're growing in your faith?
Maybe you know more Scripture than you used to.
Maybe you pray more often.
Maybe you serve, give generously, attend church, or understand things about God that once seemed completely foreign.
Those are all good things.
But the Apostle Paul gives us a much more uncomfortable test.
Are you becoming more loving?
Not more sentimental.
Not simply nicer to people you already like.
More patient. More gracious. Less interested in keeping score. More willing to seek someone else's good—even when it's inconvenient, even when you disagree, and even when you don't particularly feel like it.
In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul reminds us that we can possess extraordinary gifts, remarkable faith, and incredible knowledge and still miss something absolutely essential.
Today, as we continue our Yes & Amen series, we'll explore God's promise to form us into people who love—and why the greatest evidence of a life being transformed by Christ might not be what we know or what we accomplish.
It might be how we love.
1 Corinthians 13:1-13
