1 Peter 1:3-9 – Living Hope
Jesus is our living hope!

Daniel 12 – How Long, O Lord?
Daniel 12 is the final chapter of the book of Daniel. This chapter ends with some final words from the angel telling Daniel to continue to wait. Daniel wants to know when God will fix things but the angel does not tell him. Instead, he tells him to, “go your way till the end. And you shall rest and shall stand in your allotted place at the end of the days.” In other words, “keep pressing on.” In this sermon,…
Daniel 11 – Learning From The Future
In Daniel 11 an angel tells Daniel what is to happen in the future. It is not a happy future for Israel. At least, not for a long time. But eventually, God will make all things right.

In this sermon, Pastor Kyle expands on this idea and shows us how we can live in difficult times based on future events. A big picture perspective…
Daniel 9:20-27 – Going Through Dark Times
In the second part of chapter 9, the angel Gabriel describes a vision about 70 weeks. While this is a difficult passage to interpret, the takeaway is that there will be bumps along the road but Jesus is ultimately going to win. Things do not happen in our time frame, but in God’s. However, we can have confidence to know that God will carry it to completion. A “no” or “wait” from God always results in something better later on.…

Job 4-7 – Sin and Suffering
In Job 4-7, Job’s friend Eliphaz speaks up and tells Job that he is suffering because he is sinning. Job doesn’t know what he did, but by the end of chapter 7, he is asking God why he won’t forgive him for whatever he did. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle answers the question that Job and Eliphaz discuss. Does God punish us because we sin? There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus!
