John 2:1-12 – The Power of Jesus

In John 2, Jesus is further revealed to the disciples and to us. In verses 1-12, Jesus takes his disciples to a wedding and something goes very wrong. The wedding runs out of wine. But why is that a big deal? And why did Jesus think it was important enough to perform a miracle to make more wine? Pastor Kyle addresses this and more. “When you are told to believe in him, believe in him up to the brim! When…

John 15:1-11 – A Disciple Bears Fruit

In this sermon, Pastor Kyle gives the fifth characteristic of being a disciple of Jesus Christ, which is: A disciple of Jesus Christ bears fruit. In John 15:1-11, Jesus gives an analogy about vines and vineyards. He says that he is the vine, God the father is the gardener, and we are the branches.

John 13:34-35 – A Disciple Loves

In this sermon, Pastor Kyle gives the third characteristic of being a disciple of Jesus Christ, which is: A disciple of Jesus Christ loves. In John 13:34-35, Jesus is giving some farewell instructions to the disciples as he prepares to to finish his ministry on earth. Jesus talks about the importance of loving one another. But this raises a question: how do we love one another? What is biblical love? Pastor Kyle answers these questions and more. A new commandment…

John 21 – New

In this last sermon in the series, Pastor Kyle looks at John 21. This chapter takes place after The Week but was only possible because of what happened from the death and resurrection of Jesus. Peter had messed up big time. But in this chapter, Jesus helps Peter see that he is forgiven and now has a mission. It is out of this chapter that Peter finally understands that he is a new creation in Christ. If you are a…

John 20 – Alive

Happy Easter! In this sermon, Pastor Kyle looks at John 20. From the moment Mary sees the empty tomb in verse 1 to a week later when Thomas is told Jesus is alive, Jesus’ followers doubt. They don’t believe until they actually see Jesus. Is it ok to doubt? What does Jesus do about our doubt? Pastor Kyle explores these subjects and more. At its core, being a Christian means having a personal relationship with God. Sermon Clip   Island…

John 19 – Crucified

What’s the big deal with the crucifixion? Why do Christians have the cross — a method of capital punishment in the first century Roman Empire — as a symbol of the religion? In this sermon, Pastor Kyle looks at John’s account of the crucifixion in chapter 19. A closer look at the passage shows some of the reasons why the crucifixion is so important to Christians and how Jesus dying on the cross impacts all of us. In that one…

Betrayed – John 18:1-11, 15-18, 25-27

In this sermon, Pastor Kyle looks at parts of John 18 where Jesus is arrested and then Peter denies him three times. Through these verses, we see how man is at his worst by betraying, denying, or abandoning Jesus. However, even while man is at his worst, Jesus is at his best by showing love for those that follow him and then shortly after going to the cross. We should never let past victories be a predictor of future results.…

John 13:1-19 – Served

In this new series, Pastor Kyle looks at the last week of Jesus’ life. It was a week that changed everything. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle focuses on Jesus’ time with his disciples at the Last Supper. During the supper, while the disciples are fighting with each other over who is the greatest, Jesus shows his love for them and washes their feet. In love, he served them. We should do the same to others. Before Jesus died, he served. …

John 1:35-49 – One Life Changing Many

In John 1:35-49, we see the story of people meeting Jesus and then inviting others to meet Jesus. One life makes a big difference because that one can reach others.
