Genesis 27 – A Tricky Family
Have you ever been tricked into thinking something was better than it actually was? In Genesis 27, we see an entire family—Isaac, Rebekah, Esau, and Jacob—all trying to manipulate their way to what they want. But in the end, God’s plan still stands. This passage reminds us that God’s blessings don’t depend on our goodness, and His will cannot be outsmarted. Instead of resisting Him, we’re better off trusting and submitting to what He’s already planned. If God can bless…
2 Corinthians 4:4-7 – From Blindness To Seeing
As we step into the new year, many of us have already broken our resolutions, including spiritual ones. This sermon addresses the challenge of spiritual stagnation and how to reignite faith by surrendering to Jesus Christ. We look at 2 Corinthians 4:4-7, which highlights how true spiritual growth begins with giving our lives to Christ and continues by allowing him to lead us daily. If you’re feeling spiritually dry or seeking direction, this sermon will guide you toward renewing your…
Genesis 22:1-19 – The Lord Will Provide
What happens when God gives you a test you never saw coming? In this sermon on Genesis 22, Pastor Kyle explores Abraham’s greatest test—being asked to sacrifice his beloved son, Isaac. Why would God command this? How does it fit with his character? And ultimately, how does this story foreshadow Jesus Christ and the gospel? Join us as we uncover how God provides, why obedience matters, and how Abraham’s journey points us to the ultimate sacrifice—Jesus, the Lamb of God.…

As a Southern Baptist pastor, I do not believe that infant baptism is biblical. However, there are some wonderful pastors from other denominations that do believe in infant baptism. Just this week, I was reading one of my favorite commentaries, while preparing for my sermon on…

Dear Island Pond Family, If you never give online, then you can ignore this email. If you do give online, please continue reading! With the start of the new year we are transitioning to a new online giving platform called Planning Center. Please read the following information, particularly if you use recurring giving. The giving page on our website has been updated, so if you normally give by clicking on that link, then you can continue doing what you normally do. You…
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…
