Psalm 23:2-3 – The Shepherd Restores Me
In Psalm 23:2-3, David talks about God restoring him. Pastor Kyle looks at these words and explains what it means for God to restore us and WHY we needed to be restored in the first place. Apart from God, we all have an emptiness inside of us that we try to fill with different things. Only God will fill it. Will you turn to him today to restore you? Green pastures may not seem probable to a normal shepherd in…
Psalm 23:1 – I Am Content In My Shepherd
Psalm 23 is perhaps one of the most well-known passages in all of Scripture. But do we truly understand what it means? In this first sermon in the series, Pastor Kyle shows us how it is important to make Jesus your shepherd. When he is our shepherd, we can go through life without wanting everything. Since Jesus is the Good Shepherd, he will care for us in a way that we can be content. David does not say, “The Lord…
Acts 6:1-7 – Spirit-Empowered Growing Pains
As the church grew, things got more complicated. This caused one group to feel neglected and begin to grumble. How would they respond to these issues? In this sermon, Pastor Kyle examines how the early church dealt with these “growing pains” in Acts 6:1-7 and what we can learn from them. If a church grows, then growing pains are to be expected, and we must be ready to deal with them in the proper way. Are you going to be…
John 1:17 – One Truth
Guest speaker: Jackson Bailey
Acts 5:17-42 – A Spirit-Empowered Prison Escape
We all love a good prison escape story, but the one in Acts 5 is unique. Not only does an angel break them out, but they are told to go and keep doing the very thing that got them put into prison! In this sermon, Pastor Kyle examines the motivations behind going back out into public after “escaping.” Do we have the same passion as the apostles, even at the risk of persecution? They knew, that they knew, that they…
Acts 5:1-16 – A Spirit-Empowered Fear of God
In Acts 5:1-16, Ananias and Sapphira lie to the church and end up being put to death by God. Why did this happen? Why would God do that? In this sermon, Pastor Kyle examines this scary passage and shows that God is not one to be messed with. Do you fear God? If not, listen closely. God is love, but he is not a pushover. He must also be feared. Sermon Clip (The teaching sheet can be downloaded by clicking…

Acts 4:10-12 – No Other Name

Acts 4:32-37 – A Spirit-Empowered Church
No church is perfect, but are there certain characteristics that show God is working in a church? In this sermon, Pastor Kyle looks at Acts 4:32-37 and examines the early church. In this passage, we see four ways that God was working in the church. These four traits are things that we can prayerfully seek for our church as well. NOTE: Due to a camera problem, the video and audio quality are not as good as normal. We all look…
Acts 4:23-31 – A Spirit-Empowered Prayer
We pay attention to things that get results. Here in Acts 4:23-31, a group of Christians stop and pray and the passage ends with some major results! Pastor Kyle walks us through the passage and shares who we can pray a spirit-empowered prayer as well. Do you want God to work mightily in your prayers? Then let’s pay attention to what the Christians pray in this prayer! Sermon Clip (The teaching sheet can be downloaded by clicking on the above…
Acts 4:1-22 – A Spirit-Empowered Defense Against Persecution
Persecution of Christians is happening all around the world. While it is not as prevalent here in the United States, there is still a lot we can learn from this passage on persecution. Pastor Kyle gives four “rules” from Acts 4:1-22 that will help us stand up against persecution and live out the Christian life. A person with a correct understanding of who Jesus is will have far less fear about what man can do to him. Sermon Clip (The…
Acts 3:1-26 – The Purpose of Miracles
What do we make of all those healings in the Bible? What do we make of healings today? In this sermon, Pastor Kyle looks at Acts 3:1-26, which is about a lame man being healed. He then shows how Peter’s explanation of the miracle sheds light on how we should understand them. The purpose of miracles are to point people to Jesus Christ. Not to make you famous. Not to use as a way to get donations. They are to…
