Is God "Morally Sane"? If God is all-loving and all-powerful, why does suffering exist? It's one of the oldest objections to faith, and atheist voices like Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, and Christopher Hitchens have built careers on it. But what if the very illustrations these thinkers use to argue against God actually point straight back to him? In this message, Pastor Major walks through Romans 8 and three unexpected images — a miracle drug, a dangerous road, and a dentist's chair — to show why suffering may not be evidence against a loving God, but proof of one. Whether you've wrestled with this question yourself or know someone who has, this episode offers a way through.

As Sebastian read it on camera last week, he couldn't get through it without crying, undone by one line in particular:

“I'm proud of you because of who you are, not because of what you accomplished.”

That same kind of declaration echoes from centuries earlier, spoken over another Son at the very start of His ministry. Before a single miracle, before a single sermon, before the cross, the Father said: "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

When we read that phrase, we might be tempted to think that the Father’s feeling towards the Son was based on what he had accomplished. But his identity was settled before His earthly résumé even began.

The Father’s pleasure in us is rooted in who we are, not what we produce. And for those of us who are fathers, it's more than something to receive; it's something to pass on, speaking pride and delight over our children long before they've proven anything to us.

Join us this Sunday as we open Matthew 3 and discover what it means to be loved by the Father — and what it looks like to love like Him.

While we celebrate the birth of our nation on July 4th, if you remember your history, you know the founding was anything but swift or certain. In the early months of 1776, the delegates gathered in Philadelphia were deeply divided. Some colonies feared the consequences of a full break with England and preferred to pursue what many called "the middle way.” They wanted to resist the Crown's overreach, but stop short of separation and remain Englishmen. Others, like the Virginia delegation, were convinced that separation was not only necessary but already, in every practical sense, inevitable.

For months, the Continental Congress limped on the matter, debating, delaying, unable to reach a resolution. Until June 7, 1776, a delegate from Virginia rose and forced the issue by making a formal motion.

"Resolved, That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved."

Richard Henry Lee's formal motion could not be tabled or talked around. It demanded a vote. It forced a choice. And ultimately, it required a Declaration.

Nearly three thousand years earlier, the prophet Elijah stood before the people of Israel on Mount Carmel and forced the very same question. "How long will you go limping between two opinions?" he asked. They had refused to declare what, in their hearts, they already knew to be true. Elijah did not debate them, and he did not allow room for additional delay. He dismantled the pretense that silence was a neutral position.

Like the delegates in Philadelphia, and like the people of Israel on Carmel, many of us are limping. This Sunday, we will open 1 Kings 18:17–40 and be challenged to choose!

Sometime in the fourth century, a monk sat in the Egyptian desert and made a list of every way the human soul could go wrong. That list became the seven deadly sins, and for 1,500 years, through the fall of Rome, the Reformation, and two World Wars, theologians, poets, and pastors looked at those seven and said: that’s the whole map. That covers it.

Until now. 

A recent article by James Parker in The Atlantic suggests our age may have produced an eighth.

Have you ever noticed that when Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness, none of the offers were viciously evil? Bread for a hungry man. A miraculous sign. The kingdoms of a world Jesus himself had made. That’s what makes it so unsettling — sin is just that subtle.

Join us tomorrow morning as we open Matthew 4 and examine what may be the eighth deadly sin.

Ella Langley recently made history as the first woman to hold the top two spots on the Hot Country Songs chart for multiple weeks — surpassing Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, who each did it for one. The song at number one was "Choosin' Texas." The song at number two was "Be Her."

In the song, Langley paints a picture of the woman she wants to become — someone who isn't stuck on the past, isn't worried about tomorrow, and stays talking to Jesus. In an interview, she said the song came straight from her own honest desire for growth. "I just literally sat there and said things I wanted to work on."

Maybe it's resonating because most of us know exactly what she means. We all carry some version of that image — who we want to be, how we want to live, the person we can picture clearly but haven't quite become yet. The gap between who we are and who we know we should be is one of the most universal feelings there is.

We aren't the first to face that chasm between what we are and what we want to become. Paul faced it too. This Sunday we're going to look at what he shared — and what it means for every one of us still trying to close that gap. We'll see you at 10:30

Bobby Cox—Hall of Famer, fourteen consecutive division titles, one World Series ring, and. . . 162 ejections—died Saturday at the age of eighty-four. Tributes poured in from players, coaches, and fans across the sport. But it was a single line from one ESPN commentator that caught my attention. 

"I can absolutely see Bobby Cox kicking dirt on St. Peter, arguing his way through those pearly gates." 

It's the kind of line that makes you laugh and then makes you think.

Because most of us are more like Bobby Cox than we want to admit. We argue the calls. We contest the rulings. We go back to the plate, kick the dirt, get in someone's face, and dare them to toss us. We do it with bosses, with doctors, with circumstances, with fate, and if we are honest, we do it with God. 

In the Bible, we read how Job did the same thing. For thirty-seven chapters, he built his case against heaven. He was not wrong to grieve. He was not wrong to cry out. But somewhere along the way, the grief became a lawsuit. And Job wanted his day in court. 

What Would Jesus Post? is a new series launching this week. These will be summer sermons that take the week's headlines and ask what the eternal Word has to say about them. We begin where Bobby Cox's story ends: at the place where every argument runs out of breath, where every human being finally stands before the One who makes the calls that will not be overturned.

We will see you there!

What will my child be in the future, and how do I prepare them for whatever is waiting on the other side of our home?

Any mother who loves their child has wrestled with the fear that they would somehow get in the way of their child achieving their full potential. If only we knew what that potential was, we would be better prepared.

We search for signs. We watch for clues. What are their talents? Where do their passions lie? We pray for clarity. And more often than not, God is quiet in exactly the ways we wish He would speak.

That is where the parents of Samson found themselves in Judges 13. They stood before an angel of the Lord with one burning question: what are we supposed to do with him? The angel's answer is instructive, and a little unsettling. He does not tell them how the story ends. He does not describe the victories or warn them about the failures. He simply repeats what he already told the boy's mother.

This Sunday at Christiansburg Baptist Church, we are going to examine that question for Mother's Day. There is a word for you in this ancient text. God rarely answers the question you are asking about your child's future, but the answer He does provide could change the way you parent for the rest of your life.

Every church has felt the tension that flows from the blessing of diversity. How do we honor the diversity of gifts, perspectives, and callings God has placed among us while still moving forward together with unity and purpose? This axiom gives us a biblical framework for how that actually works.

As we close out this series, we're also going to look back across everything we've covered and see how all of these axioms fit together. None of them were meant to stand alone. Each one is a thread, and this Sunday we get to step back and see the tapestry. The diversity of how God has wired this church isn't a problem to manage. It's the design that makes us stronger.

If you've been with us for the whole series, this is the payoff. If you've missed a few weeks, this is the perfect Sunday to jump back in.

We'll see you Sunday. Bring someone with you.

This is moving weekend for Kim and I. After two years of being in the area, we are finally able to put  down lasting roots. There’s something different about a permanent home. It’s not just a place you sleep, it’s a place you belong, a place being finished. Paul uses that same language about the church. We are being built up together, into Christ himself, until every member reaches full maturity. Not one person left behind. Not one stone left unplaced.

This Sunday, we’ll ask the question: what does it look like to be a church that is actually building people — and what happens when we settle for anything less?

Everybody wants to know that their life means something.

The church often offers little help in this search. We're good at telling people what to be saved from. We preach sin, we preach grace, we preach the cross. And praise God for that. But then somebody gets saved, gets baptized, maybe joins a small group and then we kind of just... leave them there.

The question is—whose?

Most of us have never stopped long enough to ask where our deepest convictions actually came from. We inherited them. Absorbed them. And somewhere along the way, we stopped questioning whether they were actually true.

Philosophers call these beliefs axioms. Self-evident truths. Propositions so foundational they need no proof, because everything else is already being proven by them.

You have them. So do I.

Here’s the problem. Most of us, even those of us who have been in church our entire lives, are living from axioms we inherited from a world that does not know God. We’ve simply baptized them. Dressed them up in religious language. And called it faithfulness.

Paul sees this. And rather than leaving us there, he offers something better. He offers a different set of foundations altogether. Truths not founded on human wisdom or cultural assumption, but on the promise, the power, and the presence of God himself.

In Ephesians 4, he issues one of the most disruptive invitations in all of Scripture. He says, in light of everything Jesus has done, in light of the cross, the resurrection, the new life you’ve been given, walk worthy of it. Live in a way that actually corresponds to what is true.

That's essentially what two heartbroken travelers asked Jesus as they walked the dusty road to Emmaus together. 

Of course, they had no idea it was him. As far as they were concerned, their hopes had been buried in a borrowed tomb three days earlier. The stranger walking beside them couldn't possibly understand what they'd been through — or so they thought.

But Jesus wasn't just listening. He was leading. And before that walk was over, he asked three questions that shattered their despair and set their hearts on fire.

Tomorrow we close out our series in Luke 24 by sitting with those same three questions — questions the risen Christ still asks every one of us. If your hope has grown cold, if your faith feels like it's running on fumes, if you've been walking away from the place where God is working — this Christ asks you to walk with him just a little further.

These two men at the cross were close. As close as anyone could be. They heard His voice. They witnessed His grace under agony. They were near enough to look Him in the eye. And yet one of them left that hill with the most stunning promise Jesus ever made to a single individual. While the other left with nothing.

Same cross. Same Christ. Same gospel. Two completely different outcomes.

These inscriptions were typically brief, serving as a title that declared the crime committed. Above the two men crucified on either side of Jesus, the placards likely read something to the effect of, “This man was a thief.

And over the head of Jesus was also a placard, declaring why he was being crucified. John 19:19 says, “And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was Jesus of Nazareth, the King Of The Jews.” 

Unbeknownst to Pilate, the title he wrote and the way he wrote tell us several things about Jesus on the cross.

For most of us, the answer is obvious. Quietly. Quickly. Painlessly. At a ripe old age. And in our own home, in our own bed. 

But the truth is, unfortunately, we don't get to choose.

But Jesus could. And he chose the cross.

Not a quiet death. Not a peaceful exit. The most torturous, humiliating, public form of execution the ancient world ever devised. The word we still use today when describing the worst pain imaginable, excruciating, comes directly from the word for cross.

So the question isn't just theological. It's deeply personal.

Why would God choose this manner of death?

What was he trying to show us that could only be shown through suffering that extreme? What does that choice reveal about your heart and mine? And what does it mean for the way you and I get to live right now?

Join us tomorrow as we examine the choice he made, sovereignly and lovingly at Calvary.

He owns it all. He created every mountain range, every coastline, every hilltop on earth. And yet, when you trace the major moments of his redemptive plan from Genesis to Golgotha, they all converge on one small plot of ground in the ancient Middle East. The same hill. The same threshing floor. Just yards away from the same rock face that looks like a skull. When we examine the Old Testament, it’s clear to see that Scripture has been building on that hillside for thousands of years.

And when we see how deliberately God chose that location, and why, worship is the only honest response!

Why? Because you know the people who are present tells you everything about what’s taking place.

This Sunday, we’re asking that same question about the most important moment in all of human history.

Luke 23:33 gives us one of the most focused and dense sentences in Scripture: “And when they came to the place called the Skull, there they crucified him.”

We know that whoever “they” were, God sovereignly selected them to be there. And when we discover who they were, it will challenge what we often believe about religion, relationships, and what God actually wants for his creation.

The golden arches. The swoosh. The plain bitten apple. The face of a simple mermaid on a green circle. You don't need words to know what those symbols mean. They carry a story, all compressed into a single image.

Logos are powerful because they communicate instantly. A well-designed logo tells you who a company is, what they stand for, and what you can expect from them. Brands spend millions of dollars to get that image exactly right, because they know: people will remember a symbol long after they forget a slogan.

So when God decided to put His message into a single image—when He chose the one symbol that would represent everything He is and everything He came to do—what did He pick?

He chose a cross.

That must have surprised everyone.

Not a throne, which would have communicated His power. Not a scepter or a crown, which would have made sense for a King. Not even an empty tomb, which at least ends on a triumphant note.

A cross. An instrument of humiliation and death. The ancient world's equivalent of an electric chair.

And yet, that is God's logo.

We are spending the weeks leading up to Easter examining that choice. Because the cross isn't just the means of our salvation. It's a message. There is something in how God chose to save us that tells us who He is, how He loves, and what He intends for our lives.

Join us Sunday as we begin a new series, At the Cross.
