My Father’s Pulpit

"The Blessedness of Fatness"
In this memorable and thought-provoking sermon, Pastor Jeff Cox explores a biblical truth that often runs contrary to modern thinking. “The Blessedness of Fatness” is not about physical excess, but about spiritual fullness—being richly supplied, satisfied, and strengthened by the Lord. Pastor Cox challenges believers to desire more than survival Christianity and instead pursue a life that is full of God’s presence, blessing, and provision. 

"A Tale of Two Wives" – Leviticus 10:10; Exodus 11:7
In this thought-provoking sermon, Pastor Jeff Cox compares two women from Scripture who both experienced devastating loss and had knowledge of God: the wife of Lot and the wife of Job. Though their circumstances shared similarities, their endings could not have been more different. Lot’s wife looked back and was lost, while Job’s wife, though pushed to the brink by witnessing her husband’s intense affliction, remained.
Pastor Cox exposes the twin goals of Satan—to destroy the soul and to provoke denial of God—and shows how suffering becomes a battlefield for faith. The defining difference between these two women was not their trials, but their husbands and the spiritual leadership present in their homes.
In the end, Job’s story concludes with restoration—his wife by his side and a renewed family—while Lot’s tragic account ends in loss and brokenness. This sermon challenges listeners to discern between the holy and the profane, to remain steadfast in trial, and to recognize the vital influence of godly leadership in the home and in the midst of suffering.

"The Blessedness of Brokenness" – Job 2:7-8
In this tender and deeply moving sermon from Job 2, Pastor Jeff Cox reflects on one of Scripture’s most difficult themes: the blessing God brings through brokenness. Drawing from Job’s suffering—where even a piece of broken pottery brought a measure of comfort—Pastor Cox reminds us that God often uses what is shattered to accomplish His greatest work.
He points to the broken bread Jesus used to feed the multitudes, showing that God does not discard the fragments of our lives; He multiplies them. 
This sermon reminds us that Jesus Himself was broken for us—and that God uses our brokenness to bless others, deepen our dependence on Him, and reveal His sufficiency.

"The Judgment Seat of Christ" – Romans 14
In this sobering and motivating sermon from Romans 14, Pastor Jeff Cox turns our attention to the reality that every believer will one day stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ. With clarity and urgency, he reminds us that this judgment is not about salvation, but about accountability—giving an answer for how we lived, served, and stewarded the opportunities God gave us. Pastor Cox challenges Christians to live with eternity in view, to pursue holiness, and to make their lives count for Christ. This message calls us to faithful living now in light of the day when we will stand before our Lord and give account.

"Count the Cost" – Mark 2:1–12
Preached the Sunday before Vacation Bible School, “Count the Cost” from Mark 2:1–12 captures Pastor Jeff Cox’s heart for reaching people with the gospel. Drawing from the story of the friends who carried the paralytic to Jesus, Pastor Cox challenges the church to work together, overcome obstacles, and make personal sacrifices so others can meet the Savior.
