Thank You (Philippians 1:1-11)

In his last sermon at First Baptist Church of Cape Girardeau, Tyler says good bye.

Work Together For Good (Romans 8:28-30)

In this sermon, Tyler explores the struggle of understanding just how to tackle "what comes next".  Perhaps we feel lost in life, unsure of our place or what good we can do.  The model of good--we continue to discover--has already been laid out for us in Christ.  Work together in His name, and see what blessings we can bring to the world.

Sideline Voices (2 Kings 5.1-17)

In this sermon, Tyler discusses the role of a nameless slave girl in a powerful general's life.  Though this general had power and prestige, he was also trapped in a situation he had no knowledge of how to navigate out of.  It was by listening to the sideline voice in his life that he was able to find healing and restoration.

What voices are we not hearing in our own life?  What is God trying to tell us through them?

Crossing Over (2 Kings 2:1-14)

In this sermon, Tyler continues through the Revised Common Lectionary.

As we observe the ascent of Elijah we must also come to terms with change in our own lives.  There are times in our life where we are separated from the people close to us.  Though it can be difficult--sometimes even painful--we must also look to God's guidance and see the new direction we are headed.

There is always room for hope amidst the change.

Strong and Courageous (Joshua 1:1-9)

In this special sermon brought to us by Dr. Jeff Long, we examine the ways God uses events in our lives to shape the church and it's people.  Though things may seem distressing, our shepherd watches over us, guiding us to where we are called to be.

Have strength.  Have courage.

A Spirit-Filled Resurrection Church (Acts 2:1-21)

In this Pentecost sermon, Pastor Tyler explores the coming of the Holy Spirit to the apostles. He points out how the Spirit got them outside of what was comfortable to them and put them in the midst of their community. That same Spirit is available to us and is the only hope for the future of the church.

Practicing Resurrection (1 Corinthians 15.50-58)

A short message from the editor.

Transforming Resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:35-49)

As Pastor Tyler continues the "Resurrection" series, we explore the beautiful, transformative power of Resurrection.  At the very core of the Resurrection is hope.  It is within this hope that we are asked to become a changed people, a people with the knowledge of what is and what will be.  We too, are promised transformation: both in this life and the next.

Living Resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:29-34)

In this sermon, Pastor Tyler explores how Paul wants the Corinthian church to understand that the resurrection serves as the reason for both ministry and missions. Tyler is then joined by Becky Gentry, Laura Meece, and Ron Winstead as they share about how the resurrection fuels them for the kingdom-work they are doing.

Victorious Resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:20-28)

As we continue to explore the bizarre beauty of the resurrection, we are challenged to recognize just what exactly our identity as Christians truly is. We are a people who stand totally exposed before evil and death. We declare them powerless against love and hope. We have a message to share with the world; the unending love and power of Christ has defeated all evil that stands against us. Even death, the final enemy, has no say any longer.
