Psalms 42-43 – God and Depression
Depression impacts a large amount of Americans. Rich people get depressed. Poor people get depressed. Famous people and less known people. Many presidents have struggled with it. In Psalm 42-43, we see that even people that follow God experience depression. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle shows us what the psalmist did in the midst of depression and what we can do the same in our own lives as well. Even when our minds are telling us there is no hope,…
Psalm 30 – Let’s Praise God
In Psalm 30, we see how David praised God in the good times. He was saved from a difficult situation so David praised God. However, in the second part of the Psalm, we see that David went through a difficult time. Yet even in the difficult time, David still praised God! Therefore, we can learn that it is important to praise God in the good AND in the bad. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle shows us why this is so…
Psalm 23 – God Is Your Shepherd
Psalm 23 is perhaps one of the most well known passages in the entire Bible. Not only is it loved by Christians, but many people who do not follow God know this psalm. Clearly, it has struck a nerve with people around the world. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle examines the beloved “23rd Psalm” and shows the implications of God being our shepherd. Knowing this should help us understand just how much God loves us and have confidence that we…
Psalm 19 – God Speaks To Us
In Psalm 19, David gives two ways that God speaks to us. He speaks to us through creation, telling us about his handiwork and glory. He also speaks to us through Scripture, in which we learn more about who he is and what he has done for us. We should be listening to what he says in both ways. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle explains how we can better listen to him through the ways that he is speaking to…
Psalm 1:1-6 – The Blessed Life
Do you want to live a blessed life? Do you want to have deep joy and happiness that only comes from knowing you have a relationship with God and that your sins are forgiven? In this first chapter in Psalms, we are told how we can have a blessed life. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle explains what it means to be blessed (and what it does NOT mean) and what we are called to do in order to be blessed.…
Psalm 98 – Joy To The World
How is it possible that someone with poor health could write about joy in the world? Isaac Watts struggled with health issues throughout much of his life, yet he is the one who wrote the words to this amazing carol, “Joy To The World.” In this sermon, Pastor Kyle explains how we can have joy in the midst of difficulties and how we are called to express joy. Jesus has done a marvelous thing, so let’s celebrate what he has…

Psalm 1:1-6 – The Path To A Happy Life
We are constantly shown on television and other places that the path to a happy life is success or money. But in Psalm 1, we are given an alternative. In this psalm, we are told that happiness does not come from money, fame, or a well-paying job. Instead, it comes through delighting in God’s Word. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle examines what it means to delight in God’s Word and what the consequences are for not delighting. Christianity is about…
Psalm 23:6 – Blessings and Responsibilities in the Shepherd
In this last sermon in the Psalm 23 series, Pastor Kyle talks about how we have amazing benefits in the shepherd. We are truly blessed being part of the shepherd’s family! But with these blessings come some responsibilities as well. God wants us to spread the blessings around to other people! May we not just keep them for ourselves, but use them to touch the lives of those around us. God wants you to use the blessings he has given…
Psalm 23:5 – Don’t Get Distracted From The Shepherd
There are so many distractions out there: kids, social media, work, shopping, and so on. Because of this, it is easy to get distracted and take your eyes off the shepherd. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle examines Psalm 23:5 and discusses the solution to distractions and ways that we can keep our eyes on the shepherd. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus! He is the answer to our distractions! Bonus Clip While this didn’t make “the cut” on Sunday morning…
Psalm 23:4 – The Shepherd Keeps Me Safe
This world is filled with a lot of scary things. Therefore, it seems strange for someone to declare that he can walk through “the valley of the shadow of death” and “fear no evil.” How can someone not fear in the midst of scary times? In this sermon, Pastor Kyle examines Psalm 23:4 and shows how the shepherd keeps us safe in the midst of scary times. However, we are not immune from every pain and suffering. Why is that?…
Psalm 23:3 – The Shepherd Leads Me
What does it mean when David says, “He leads me in paths of righteousness…”? In this sermon, Pastor Kyle examines this verse and then shows what it means for us today. Are you being led by the shepherd? Do you know HOW to be led by the shepherd? Too many of us want to be led by the shepherd, but we make no steps to learn what he is saying. The primary way that God will lead us is through…
