    One Man, One Sin: Adam, the Law & the Grace That Reconciles Us (Romans 5)

    Pastor Thomas Kulp walks through Paul's argument in Romans: how sin entered the world through one man, Adam, and reached all of humanity. He traces God's one program from the perfection of Eden, to the Ten Commandments, to the 600-plus laws stacked up by Jesus' day, showing how the Law multiplies our awareness of sin while the blood of Christ stays the constant thread of atonement from Leviticus all the way to the cross. Along the way he gets honest about coveting, the modern "I deserve, I want, I need" mindset that quietly replaces God's Word, and what it actually takes to put in the work of knowing Scripture. A grounding reminder that even in a broken world, we can walk in restored union with God.

    The Ugly Box Lined With Gold | Your Worth in God's Eyes

    What if the dirty, dark box you've written off as worthless is actually lined with gold? In this episode of Glorify & Grow, Pastor Thomas Kulp of Horizon Church in Bosque Farms, NM walks through the story of a king, a wise man, and an old beaten-up chest that looked like nothing but darkness inside. It turns out to be a picture of how God sees you. The world measures your worth by what you achieve, what you earn, and how you stack up against the people around you. God measures it differently. When He brings the light of Jesus into the darkness, the true value He placed in you is revealed, and once that light is lit, it stays lit. Pastor Thomas also shares why the wisdom of those who came before us matters more than we realize, why no amount of money or earthly glory can separate you from the love of God, and why the invitation into His throne room is open to every single person, no exceptions. In this episode: - Why we are called to be remodeled, not conformed to this world - The hard truth about being a "good person" apart from Christ - The king and the wise man's box: finding your true worth - Nothing can separate you from God's love (Romans 8) - The open invitation into the throne room Scripture referenced: Romans 5:8, Romans 8, Ephesians 6, Daniel 5:27, John 3:16 If something here spoke to you, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

    Stop Asking "Why God?" — Start Asking "What, God?"

    Most of us hit hard seasons and ask God the wrong question. In this episode, Pastor Thomas Kulp of Horizon Church (Bosque Farms, NM) shares a powerful shift that changes everything — from "God, why is this happening to me?" to "God, what do you want me to do with this?" Drawing from Romans 5:3-5, Tom opens up about growing up with a painful skin disease for 16 years, quitting football and discovering running, and training for an Ironman — all to show how suffering isn't random. It's a training formula. Endurance builds character. Character builds hope. And hope doesn't disappoint. In this episode: Why "why God?" keeps you stuck — and what to ask insteadHow God uses pain, setbacks, and failure to refine youThe difference between signing up for faith and actually running the raceA story from a Christian Entrepreneurs group that will stick with youRomans 5:3-5 unpacked in a way that actually makes senseIf you've ever felt like your faith and your suffering don't add up — this one's for you.

    Why Do You Cut the End Off the Ham? | Justification by Faith

    Are you living out your faith — or just following traditions you've never questioned? In this episode, Pastor Thomas Kulp of Horizon Church shares a powerful story about a family cutting the end off a ham for generations… without ever knowing why. It's a simple picture of something many Christians do every day: going through the motions of religion without understanding the grace at the heart of the gospel. Pastor Thomas digs into Romans and the life-changing truth of justification by faith — not by works, rituals, or keeping the law. You'll discover why the law brought pressure but Christ brought peace, how reconciliation with God changes your identity, and why suffering isn't a sign God has abandoned you — it's part of how He grows you. In this episode: Why so many Christians still think "being good" is what saves themThe difference between religious pressure and living under graceWhat it means to be reconciled with God — and why the temple is now inside you"We have more in Jesus than we ever lost in Adam"Why suffering leads to spiritual maturityWhether you're new to faith or years into your walk with Christ, this episode will challenge you to stop doing things just because "that's how grandma did it" — and start living in the freedom of the gospel.

    Romans 5: Justified by Faith, Peace with God, and Misquoting Scripture (Romans 8:28)

    In this episode of the Glorify and Grow Podcast, Pastor Thomas Kulp of Horizon Church (Bosque Farms, NM) dives into Romans 5:1-2 — unpacking what it really means to be justified by faith and to have peace with God. Pastor Tom shares why the word "therefore" is one of the most important words in Bible study, how to read Scripture without your "American glasses," and what Paul was really addressing when he wrote to the Jewish believers in Rome. Plus — a vulnerable confession: Pastor Tom admits he's been misquoting Romans 8:28 for years. Does it say God works all things for the good of "those who love God" or "those God loves"? The difference is bigger than you think. You'll also hear a wild real-life story involving check fraud, the FBI, and why Pastor Tom is very glad to be on the right side of that conversation. In this episode: How to study the Bible more effectively (what "therefore" really signals)Romans 5:1-2 — justification, peace with God, and access to graceWhy connecting John and Romans transforms your understandingCorrecting a common Romans 8:28 misquotationTrusting God through seasons of fraud, stress, and hardshipHorizon Church | Bosque Farms, New Mexico Connect with us at horizonchurch.com Glorify and Grow is a weekly podcast where faith deepens and life grows.

    Crazy Faith: What Abraham Teaches Us About Trusting God When It Doesn't Make Sense

    Do you dig in, or do you doubt? In this episode of the Glorify & Grow Podcast, Pastor Thomas Kulp of Horizon Church in Bosque Farms, New Mexico, dives into the powerful story of Abraham — a man whose obedience was counted as righteousness — and challenges every believer to examine what "crazy faith" really looks like in everyday life. Drawing from Genesis, Romans 8:28, and the "Hall of Faith" in Hebrews 11, Pastor Thomas walks through Abraham's most jaw-dropping moments: leaving his homeland without a destination, being promised a son at 100 years old, and ultimately being asked to sacrifice that same son on an altar. Pastor Thomas also shares a personal story about a recent invitation to do missionary work in Greece — and the uncomfortable silence that followed his "yes" — reminding us that faith and obedience go hand in hand, and that God's timing rarely matches ours. In this episode you'll hear why Abraham's obedience was counted as righteousness, how to read Romans 8:28 correctly ("all things for the good," not just the good things), what Hebrews 11 reveals about the people God calls faithful, and why faith without focus isn't really faith at all.
