Genesis 17 – A Heavenly Rebrand
In this sermon on Genesis 17, we examine how God reaffirms His covenant with Abraham, giving him a new name, identity, and purpose. This “heavenly rebrand” signifies deeper intimacy with God, a promise to be a blessing to others, and the assurance of a heavenly homeland. Pastor Kyle highlights the transition from circumcision as the old covenant sign to baptism as the new covenant sign, symbolizing spiritual transformation in Christ. Christians are encouraged to embrace their new identity in Jesus…

Porn Causes Sexual Problems
Warning: This blog covers some mature themes of a sexual nature. What if I told you that your sexual problems were caused by pornography? In his book, Your Brain on Porn, Gary Wilson discusses how porn causes sexual problems in the brain. Mind you, this is not some conservative Christian saying this. This is coming from a secular (non-Christian) scientist. Too often people think that porn either 1) enhances sexual experiences, or, at the very least, 2) won’t have any…
Why Should The Government Be Involved In A Christian Marriage?
Why even talk about this issue? I am on a number of Facebook groups for pastors and a question comes up on a regular basis pertaining to this issue. It usually goes something like this: “Betty and Arnold are living together and want to be married ‘in the eyes of God’ but not by the state. Betty is a widow who is receiving her former husband’s pension and if she get’s married she will lose that financial help. Therefore, she…
