I don’t know if we give the cross enough thought and appreciation as Christians. What happened there was truly the greatest plot twist in human history. God sent His Son to shield us from His wrath, which we rightly deserved. At the cross, He dealt the decisive blow to sin, death, and Satan and drew the line in the sand that would define eternity f…

We ought to care about the people around us and the culture we live in, boldly relaying God’s revealed wisdom to them, knowing his indomitable plans will surely be carried out.Di Compass Bible Church

Have you ever heard Dave Ramsey tell say: “Live like no one else now so you can live like no one else later”? Well, there may be something to that, just with a bit of a twist. In John 12:20-26, Jesus calls us to follow Him into a life spent living for the world to come so we can live in the world to come. Join us this weekend for week 2 of our Hosa…

As we jump back into our study of John’s gospel this week, we find ourselves at the Triumphal Entry. As Jesus enters into Jerusalem to the shouts of praise and the acclaim of the crowds, let’s take a minute to stop and consider what made them so excited and how it should impact us even more.Di Compass Bible Church North Texas

This week, our church turns 1. On August 6, 2023, we opened our doors officially for the first time as Compass Bible Church North Texas. Over the last year, God has been so incredibly faithful, and we have much to be thankful for. But we also understand He’s not done. As we begin year two for this lampstand, we do so with great excitement and antic…

Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. That’s Psalm 127:1, and it encapsulates what we’re going to be studying together this weekend. As we look forward to seeing the Lord continue to build his church at Compass, it is imperative that we continue to express our dependence on him in everything we do through prayer.…

Have you ever been in a dark room when someone turns on a light? If you’re not expecting it, it takes a second for your eyes to adjust to the sharp contrast. No matter what, whether you’re expecting it or not, it’s impossible to ignore the impact that light makes. In our passage this weekend, Jesus uses light as a metaphor to describe the effect Ch…

As the dust settles from the resurrection of Lazarus, we find Jesus at a dinner with his friends in a scene that reminds us of the cost and devotion of true discipleship. John 12:1-11 will provide a foil of faithful and fraudulent discipleship while reminding us that faithful discipleship means a willingness to sacrifice everything to follow Jesus.…
