The Spirituals, part 2

In Part 2 of The Spirituals, we step back and examine the historical and cultural background of the church in Corinth to better understand why Paul devoted three chapters to the subject of spiritual gifts. This message explores the pagan influences that surrounded the Corinthian church, the confusion that resulted when worldly ideas entered the church, and the importance of distinguishing between the work of the Holy Spirit and counterfeit spirituality. Paul's concern was not simply that believers possess spiritual gifts, but that they understand the purpose of those gifts and use them in a way that produces unity, clarity, and spiritual maturity. As modern Christians face many of the same pressures from culture, this message serves as a reminder that true spirituality is always rooted in Scripture, centered on Christ, and empowered by the Holy Spirit.

The Spirituals, part 1

In part one of our series The Spirituals, we begin laying the biblical foundation for understanding the spiritual gifts by first examining what it truly means to be a servant within the body of Christ. Starting in 1 Timothy chapter 3 and moving into 1 Corinthians chapter 12, this message explores the connection between spiritual maturity, sanctification, church membership, and faithful service in the local church. Before discussing spiritual gifts themselves, Scripture calls believers to holiness, self-government, spiritual growth, and biblical service as faithful diakonos — servants of the body of Christ. This opening message also introduces the central theme that carries throughout the series: we are many members, but one body. Spiritual gifts were never designed for self-glory or spiritual hierarchy, but for the building up of the church and the glory of Christ. This foundational sermon prepares the way for a deeper study of the Holy Spirit, spiritual gifts, and biblical church life.

The Spirituals, part 4

In Part 4 of The Spirituals, we examine the relationship between justification, sanctification, spiritual maturity, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Using the biblical picture of a transplanted tree planted beside streams of living water, this message explains how spiritual growth occurs and why the fruit of the Spirit must precede the faithful exercise of spiritual gifts. Pastor Cole walks through the process of sanctification, showing how believers are nourished through the Word of God, strengthened through spiritual maturity, and transformed into the image of Christ. Rather than viewing spiritual gifts as a shortcut to usefulness, Scripture presents them as the natural overflow of a life that is growing in holiness. This message provides a critical foundation for understanding how spiritual gifts function within the local church and why spiritual maturity is essential for biblical service.

2026: Rethinking Athletics #3

In this episode of the “Rethinking Athletics” series, we begin asking a foundational question: What was athletics actually designed to be? Modern sports culture often treats athletics as a pathway to identity, status, recognition and personal value. But according to Scripture, athletics was never meant to sit at the center of life or carry the emotional and spiritual weight that today’s culture places upon it. Instead, sports should function underneath the Lordship of Christ as a tool for stewardship, discipline, perseverance and character development. In this episode, we discuss: -The biblical purpose of work and stewardship -Athletics as a training ground for life and vocation -How sports reveal character under pressure -The dangers of identity being tied to performance -Emotional instability within modern youth athletics -The role of failure, discipline and perseverance -And how Christian families can think biblically about competition and development Athletics can be a tremendous gift from God, but when sports become ultimate, disorder inevitably follows. This episode challenges parents, coaches and athletes to rethink sports from the perspective of Scripture and to ask not merely, “Is my child improving?” but rather, “What is this system forming my child into?”

2026: Episode 21

In this episode of the Ambassadors Baseball podcast, we continue our study through John 3 by examining verse 17 and the purpose of Christ’s coming into the world. Jesus tells Nicodemus that God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. This episode explores the difference between Christ’s first coming as Savior and the reality that the world was already under condemnation because of sin. We discuss why the gospel is not about self-improvement, religion, or moral effort, but about rescue through Jesus Christ alone. Players and parents are challenged to understand that salvation is found in a person, not a system, and that Christ came to do what sinners could never do for themselves. This passage reminds us that God’s love moved Him to send His Son so that guilty sinners might receive forgiveness, reconciliation, and eternal life through faith in Christ.

Biblical Distinctive #9: Team Before Self In this episode of the Ambassadors Baseball podcast, we explore the biblical distinctive of Team Before Self. In a sports culture that constantly promotes personal recognition, stats, and self-promotion, Scripture calls believers to humility, sacrifice, and unity. Drawing from Philippians 2 and the example of Christ Himself, this episode challenges players and parents to reject selfish ambition and pursue a team-first mentality that reflects the gospel. We discuss how pride and self-centeredness can damage both teams and relationships, while humility strengthens culture, leadership, and trust. Players are encouraged to serve teammates, accept roles, celebrate others, and compete with selflessness, while parents are challenged to cultivate humility rather than performance-driven selfishness. Our goal in Ambassadors Baseball is not just to build talented athletes, but young men who reflect Christ in the way they love, serve, and value others above themselves.

Biblical Distinctive #6: The Role of the Family In this episode of the Ambassadors Baseball podcast, we focus on a critical biblical distinctive: the role of the family in discipleship. While Ambassadors exists to support and reinforce spiritual growth, Scripture makes it clear that the home is the primary place where discipleship happens. Drawing from Deuteronomy 6, we discuss how parents are called to intentionally teach and model God’s Word in everyday life. This episode challenges families to guard against allowing sports and busy schedules to replace what should be happening in the home. Players are encouraged to recognize and respect the role their parents have in shaping their lives, while parents are reminded that faithful, consistent presence matters more than perfection. Our goal is to strengthen families so that discipleship is not just something that happens at practice, but something that flows from the home into every area of life.

2026: Episode 13

In this episode of the Ambassadors Baseball podcast, we examine John 3:7–8 and the powerful truth of the new birth. Jesus makes it clear that being born again is not optional—it is necessary for salvation. He also teaches that this new life is not something we can produce ourselves, but a sovereign work of the Holy Spirit. Like the wind, the Spirit moves according to God’s will, bringing life where there was once spiritual death. This episode challenges players and parents to think beyond external religion, effort, and behavior, and to consider the deeper reality of true transformation. Salvation is not a human achievement but a divine work of grace. Our prayer is that this truth brings clarity, humility, and a deeper dependence on God as we trust Him to do what only He can do—give new life.

Biblical Distinctive #8: Coachability & Humility In this episode of the Ambassadors Baseball podcast, we explore the biblical importance of coachability and humility. Drawing from Scripture and the realities of sports culture, we discuss how pride can stop growth faster than lack of talent ever will. True growth—both spiritually and athletically—requires humility, teachability, and a willingness to receive correction. Players are challenged to examine how they respond when flaws are exposed, while parents are encouraged to help cultivate humility rather than defensiveness in their children. This episode reminds us that correction is not the enemy; it is often one of God’s greatest tools for growth. Ultimately, the gospel itself requires humility, because no one comes to Christ while clinging to pride. Our prayer is that players and families would become more teachable, more grounded in truth, and more willing to receive instruction for the glory of God.

2026: Episode 11

In this episode of the Ambassadors Baseball podcast, we walk through John 3:6 and Jesus’ clear distinction between the flesh and the Spirit. This passage teaches that spiritual life cannot be produced through human effort, discipline, or outward behavior—what is born of the flesh remains flesh. True transformation only comes through the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit. Players and parents are challenged to think beyond surface-level change and consider the deeper question: what is producing our lives? While effort and discipline matter, they cannot create new life. Only God can take a spiritually dead heart and make it alive. This episode calls listeners to examine the difference between external improvement and internal transformation, reminding us that lasting change begins with being born again.
