Guerrilla Christianity

Paul declares that God has not rejected Israel, reminding us that “God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew” and that “the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.” Though both Jews and Gentiles have been disobedient, God uses that disobedience to reveal his mercy to all. As Paul writes, “For God has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all.” This sermon explores prevenient grace—God’s mercy extended before we seek Him—and affirms that salvation is offered equally to every person through Christ alone.

Pastor R. Bret Walker explores Romans 10:5–15, emphasizing that salvation is not earned through law‑keeping but received by faith in Christ. He contrasts head knowledge with true heart belief, noting that “the word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” and that “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” He urges believers to boldly confess Christ, trust the Spirit’s work, and proclaim the gospel so others may hear, believe, and call upon Jesus. “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”

In this episode of Guerrilla Christianity, Pastor R. Bret Walker explores Psalm 17, a heartfelt prayer of David crying out for God’s protection and justice. David appeals to God not on the basis of his own goodness, but on God’s steadfast love—His hesed. Despite danger, enemies, and injustice, David trusts fully in the Lord’s past faithfulness and present care. Pastor Bret reminds us that in our own trials, we too can cry out, “Lord, save me,” knowing God hears, protects, and keeps us as the apple of His eye, sheltered beneath His wings.

In this message, Pastor R. Bret Walker explores Romans 8:26–39, highlighting the unshakeable promise that nothing can separate believers from the love of God in Christ. He reflects on human weakness, the Spirit’s intercession, God’s sovereign purpose, and the assurance of salvation grounded not in our goodness but in God’s grace. Through examples from Scripture and personal testimony, Pastor Bret reminds listeners that even in suffering, God is working for good. The ultimate comfort: Christ died, rose, intercedes for us, and secures a love that cannot be broken.

Pastor R. Bret Walker walks through Psalm 139 to show how prayer begins with knowing the God who sees, knows, and loves us completely. David’s psalm reveals God’s omniscience, omnipresence, omnipotence, and eternal care—even before we were formed in the womb. Bret explores the “warts and all” honesty of Scripture, including the imprecatory verses, and shows how they reflect human emotion while God remains perfectly just and merciful. The sermon concludes with a call to pray like David: beginning with adoration, moving through confession and thanksgiving, and finally offering our supplications to the God who never leaves us.

Pastor R. Bret Walker unpacks Romans 8:1–11 to reveal the radical transformation that comes from living under the “law of the Spirit of life” instead of the “law of sin and death.” Using vivid illustrations—from border crossings to spiritual rebirth—he shows how Christ removes condemnation, imparts righteousness, and fills believers with the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead. This sermon proclaims the freedom, peace, and new identity found only in Christ, who relocates us from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of God, making us true citizens of life in the Spirit.

Pastor R. Bret Walker reflects on Matthew 11 and the true meaning of freedom—not political liberty, but the liberation Christ gives to those burdened by sin. Using personal testimony and imagery from Pilgrim’s Progress, he shows how sin accumulates like stones in a backpack until Christ removes the weight entirely. Jesus exposes the blindness of “this generation,” reveals the Father to the humble, and invites the weary to take His easy yoke. True independence is found not in national history but in surrender to Christ, who alone gives rest, rebirth, and lasting freedom.

Pastor R. Bret Walker reflects on Genesis 22 and Abraham’s testing on Mount Moriah, showing how God both calls His people to difficult obedience and graciously provides what they need. Abraham’s willingness to offer Isaac foreshadows the Father offering His only Son, Jesus, as the true Lamb of God. The parallels—Moriah, the wood, the thorns, the three‑day motif—reveal God’s sovereign plan pointing to Christ’s sacrifice and resurrection. This sermon reminds listeners that even after the fall, God remains faithful, providing salvation, strength, and hope for all who trust Him.

Pastor R. Bret Walker explores Genesis 21 and the story of Hagar and Ishmael to reveal the contrast between the son of the slave and the son of the free. On Father’s Day, he reflects on earthly fathers—good, absent, or broken—and points listeners to the perfect Father who never abandons His children. God hears Ishmael’s cry, provides for him in the wilderness, and promises to make him a great nation. The message reminds us that while human families may fail, God adopts us through Christ and calls us His own, offering hope, identity, and unfailing love.

(On this day, Pastor Bret had sprained his ankle and was delivering the sermon sitting down at the altar rail.)

In this third message of the After the Fall series, Pastor R. Bret Walker explores God’s astonishing promise to Abraham and Sarah—an elderly couple who laugh at the idea of bearing a child. Yet God responds, “Is anything too hard for the LORD?” Through this encounter at the oaks of Mamre, Pastor Walker highlights God’s faithfulness, His perfect timing, and His power to accomplish what seems impossible. This sermon invites listeners to confront their doubts, remember God’s past faithfulness, and trust that His promises—like Isaac, the son of promise—come by His power, not human effort.
