Philippians 3:20-21 – Christmas Hope
Life is filled with hardship, physical decline, and emotional pain. It leaves us longing for something better. Drawing from Philippians 3:20-21, Pastor Kyle reminds Christians that their citizenship is in heaven, and while they face challenges now, they are waiting for Christ’s return, when he will transform broken bodies and make all things right. In the midst of hardships, there is hope through Jesus Christ. Sermon Clip The message notes for the sermon can be downloaded by clicking on…
Psalm 98 – Christmas Joy
This sermon emphasizes joy in the face of difficulties, using Psalm 98 as the main text, which is the psalm that Isaac Watts based his hymn, “Joy To The World” off of. Pastor Kyle explains that true joy stems from understanding Jesus’ work—His salvation offered to all through His death and resurrection. Even thought we all have struggles in life, they don’t need to diminish the joy we can have when we keep the eternal perspective of salvation and heaven…

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…
Pictures of Trunk or Treat 2024
Last week, we had about 450 people attend our Trunk or Treat outreach in the parking lot of our church. The weather was on the cool side, with some occasional strong winds, but it was such a fun time. We handed out a lot of candy and hopefully the kids left with a big smile on their faces. Mike’s trunk presented the gospel in a very easy to understand way. May we do all we can to make Jesus shine…
Who are the Nephilim and sons of God in Genesis 6?
Who are the Nephilim and sons of God in Genesis 6? Genesis 6 contains one of the most well-known stories in all of the Bible. That is, of course, the story of Noah in the ark. But before Noah gets going there is a really strange passage that Bible nerds love to debate over. In fact, when I preached on Genesis 6 earlier this month a 10 year old kid came up to me after the sermon and wanted to…
