Sunday preaching, one passage at a time.
Sermons recorded from Sunday services at Christ Church Cincy, working closely through passages like Luke 19, Luke 24, Psalm 112, and 2 Corinthians 9. The preaching is plain and text-driven, pausing to define a word like Hosanna or to explain why the congregation gathers on Sunday at all.

Christ Church Cincy is a sermon feed, and it makes no effort to be anything else. The recordings come from Sunday worship, complete with the instruction to stand for the reading and to be seated afterward. Scripture comes first. A passage is read in full, then worked through phrase by phrase, with the preacher explaining not just what the text says but why the wording matters. Luke supplies much of the material in these episodes. One message on Luke 19 argues that the crowd's shouting is the real subject, not the donkey or the road, and stops to point out that Hosanna is a prayer rather than a title. It means save now, we beseech you. Another sermon, on Luke 24, sets the resurrection against everything that preceded it: the betrayal by one of the twelve, the abandonment by the rest, the crowds turning, the use of Roman power, and an execution designed to be torturous rather than civilized. The preaching does not rush past that. It also pauses to answer a question a child might ask, explaining that the church meets on Sunday because Sunday is the day Christ was raised. Teaching aimed at kids and adults sits in the same breath here. A message drawing on Psalm 112 and 2 Corinthians 9 shows the same instincts working on different ground. It notices that Paul quotes the psalm, follows the thread back, and lands on a portrait of the righteous man who may or may not have much, who does not wear himself out chasing wealth, and who is not shaken when riches fade. The reward it identifies is other people thanking God. Then there is a sermon on fathers that opens with the preacher admitting he did not expect to get weepy, thanking the church, and naming Joseph, Alex, and Paul as men he could not do without. It moves quickly into sports with his kids, a joke about which sports are real, a bit about his spiritual gift being offensive, and then a genuinely tender turn: the dad shouting throw strikes, the voice still in your head at thirty-eight when you miss a shot in the driveway, and the harder case of the father who was never in the stands at all. That range, from close textual work to open pastoral feeling, is what holds the feed together. Sentences are short when the point is sharp and long when the argument needs room. Congregational sound is part of it, including children singing and hands going up. With 453 episodes, the archive rewards anyone who wants to hear a single church teach through the Bible over years rather than sample one polished talk. It suits patient listeners more than skimmers.
Made for: Christians who want expositional preaching that stays close to the text, and anyone curious how a local congregation teaches through Luke, the Psalms, and Paul's letters week after week. Also a fit for listeners who prefer real Sunday recordings over studio-produced religious programming.
What sets it apart: The preaching pairs careful word-level attention, such as recovering Hosanna as a plea rather than a name, with unguarded pastoral moments and humor about sports and demanding dads. It is a live congregational record rather than a polished broadcast, with children, show-of-hands questions, and the liturgy left in.
