Tallowood Baptist ChurchShaped By The Cross: Unleavened WorshipIn this message, Pastor Brooks explores 1 Corinthians 5, challenging the church to confront sin within its own walls with honesty, humility, and love. He reminds us that while it's easy to judge the world, true transformation happens when we hold ourselves and our community accountable, always anchored in the grace, forgiveness, and mercy found in Jesus.

2026-02-0924 minTallowood Baptist ChurchShaped By The Cross: CongruenceThis message challenges us to go beyond just talking about faith—to actually living it out, with a consistency (“congruence”) between our beliefs and our everyday actions. Pastors and church leaders are entrusted with the mysteries of the Gospel and are called to faithfully serve rather than seeking recognition or power. With gratitude, Pastor Brooks also honors Carlos Ichter and his family for their years of faith-filled leadership.

2026-02-0131 minTallowood Baptist ChurchRed Letter Life: Burning HeartsHave you heard of anybody deconstructing their faith? This has been a hot topic in recent years. It is not as new as some would have us believe. After Jesus' crucifixion, two of his disciples decided to defect. They were heading home to Emmaus. Incognito, Jesus joined them and asked about their sorrow. Then he taught them about himself from the scriptures. He saw them, spoke to them, and stayed with them when they arrived. When he revealed himself to them, they remembered how his teaching about himself ignited their hearts. It could happen to us! Message based on L...

What frightens us most these days? How do we overcome our fears? After Jesus rose from death, his words empowered his disciples to live fearlessly. What if we lived by the red letters?

2025-04-2733 minTallowood Baptist ChurchRed Letter Life: For Dear LifeHave you ever experienced tenacious, relentless love? Mary Magdalene loved Jesus a lot. People who are forgiven much love greatly. The first to see Jesus after the resurrection, she held on to Jesus like her life depended on him. Imagine being loved that much. Ponder a love that will never let us go. What if Someone loves you like that? Message based on John 20:1-2, 11-18.Quotes: Duane Brooks: There is something about Mary Magdalene; When you lose something you go back to the place you last saw it. Duane Brooks: Mary loved a lo...

Jesus was hailed that day as the conquering King. When did Jesus win? Do you ever wonder? Was it on Sunday or Friday? What does Jesus’ sixth word from the cross mean to us? “It is finished!” Message based on John 19:30.Quotes:Kenneth Bell: I was thinking how you do so little around here, how do you know when you are done?

2025-04-1336 minTallowood Baptist ChurchWords From the Cross: I ThirstJesus knew he had work to do and a time to complete it. This purpose guided him. At the cross, his hour had finally come, his work was coming to completion, and he cried out, “I thirst.” This was the fifth of his seven sayings from the cross. What does it mean that Jesus, fully human and fully divine felt his thirst. Once again, he is fulfilling Psalm 22. How could the God who created the oceans, lakes, rivers and streams thirst? What had happened to him? What does it mean for us? Message based on John 19:28-29.Quote...
2025-04-0639 minTallowood Baptist ChurchWords from the Cross: Feeling ForsakenDo you ever feel forsaken? Perhaps you have heard the expression “God-forsaken” used to describe a place or a person. Is anybody really God-forsaken? In our fourth study of Jesus’ words from the cross we see that he chose to use the words of Psalm 22 to express his prayer to his Father. It is sometimes called the “cry of dereliction.” The verse gives us a lens into Jesus’ thoughts on the cross. A song from years ago illumines our thoughts today: “I’m forgiven because You were forsaken.” Message based on Matthew 27:45-47. Quotes: Duane Brooks: I know we are not su...
2025-03-3027 minTallowood Baptist ChurchWords from the Cross: Cruciform CommunitySeven words of love. What did Jesus say when he was on the cross? First, he prayed for forgiveness for those who crucified him. Second, he offered a promise of paradise to a thief. Then he saw his mom and his best friend. As he saved the world, Jesus took time to take care of his family. This is the way. Walk in it! Message based on John 19:25-27.Quotes: Duane Brooks: In some ways, the church begins with one act of obedience to God's work in the world.Fleming Rutledge: The saying is n...
2025-03-2330 minTallowood Baptist ChurchWords From the Cross: A Prayer and a PromiseWhat do we want from God? One thief wanted Jesus to get him off the cross. The other one wanted Jesus to remember him when he came in his kingdom. Jesus made a promise to the second one. This informs our prayers. We can receive his promise. Today? Today! Message based on Luke 23:38-43.Quotes:Philip Yancey: Only one person in the Bible receives a direct promise of heaven; a thief. J. C. Ryle: One thief on the cross was saved, that none should despair; and only one, that none should presume. What d...

After experiencing great spiritual victories, he succumbed to temptation. Trying to cover up his sin, he caused people to die, and told Joab not to worry about it. But God knew what David had done and was not pleased. King David was not the ruler who could save Israel, because he could not save himself. But a thousand years later, a ruler would be born in his line who faced temptation, never sinned, and saved the world. His kindness leads us to...

He chose to enter the battle for God's sake with God's power. Behind the conflicts in our lives lies a cosmic conflict. Although we can never force God to take our side, we may decide to be on his side! Message based on 1 Samuel 17:33-37, 45-47.

His kindness leads us to repentance. The best time to face our sin is before we commit it. When we sin, we set in motion circumstances which we will not be able to control. Today if we seek God’s forgiveness we can find it. God can redeem us and restore us.

How do we answer? Pilate was not the only one who asked. The crowds of disciples shouted and sang as he entered the city. Religious leaders grumbled about the parade. All of Jerusalem was perplexed by his coming. Pilate was right to ask. We have to do something with Jesus? What will we do?Message based on Luke 19:28-48.Quotes:What makes a...

Cyprian said, “No one has God for their Father who does not have the church for their mother.” My mom took me to church and taught me the scriptures. The children we dedicate today will be nourished with food so that they can grow up. Just so, all of us need to be fed the truth from God’s message to us. The same risen Lord who gave us new birth through his word feeds us so that we grow up in Christ. For what...

We are either moving closer to Christ and becoming like him, or farther away and losing our resemblance. Peter, the Rock, knew rocks. The One who rolled the stone from the empty tomb was still turning Peter into the Rock he would become. Peter wrote to first century believers to remind them that they, too, were living stones, coming to the Living Stone, Jesus and being built into a spiritual house to make sacrifices for Christ. Christians find our...

As we commit ourselves to “this one thing,” how do we know if we are authentic followers of Jesus? Transformation. Like the Apostle Paul, when we enter relationship with Jesus Christ, he begins to change us. None of us has arrived, but we have been changed. After stories from the gospels of Mark and Luke, Sunday we come to the gospel of John. Here, the blind man, an ideal disciple, experiences transformation physically and spiritually as he comes to know Jesus. It could happen to us!Quotes:Chry...

My parents decided to stay with the theme of “D,” naming my brothers and me David, Dan, Duane, and Darin. Duane is also my dad’s middle name. My dad told me my first name came from an actor in a movie he had just seen. 740 years before Jesus was born, the prophet Isaiah envisioned a child with the titles, “Planner of Wonders, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace.” In what ways is our Messiah, Jesus, the Father of eternity?

Agabus was a prophet in the tradition of Elijah and Jeremiah who heard a message from God and spoke it to his people.
