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…
Genesis 15 – The Abrahamic Covenant, Jesus, and You
In this sermon, we look at how God’s promise to Abram—sealed with a powerful and unique ceremony—points directly to Jesus Christ. God alone takes responsibility for fulfilling the covenant, foreshadowing Jesus bearing the punishment for humanity’s sins. Through this lens, we explore the marks of spiritual maturity, such as living with contentment and faith that God is our shield and reward. The sermon challenges us to believe, live out our faith, and give thanks to the God who fulfills His…
Genesis 12-14 – Uh-Oh, Hmmm, Yee-Haw, and Oh My!
In Genesis 12-14, Abram goes through a range of experiences, both good and bad. We see an “uh-oh” moment, some adventurous “yee-haw” moments, and an amazing experience with a priest and king (“oh my”!). In this sermon, Pastor Kyle looks at what we can learn from these experiences and talks about how Christ can be seen in this passage. Melchizedek is greater than Abram and Israel’s priests.

In Genesis 12 we are introduced to a man named Abram (later changed to Abraham). Abraham is one of the most important characters in the Old Testament. In this first chapter on his life, we learn about his calling and the promises that God makes to him. What the Israelites (as a whole) could not do, the one Israelite, Jesus Christ, DID do!

Genesis 6-7 – Judgment Day
Earlier this week, I was on Facebook, and I came across a picture that said, “Not a cell phone in sight. Just people living in the moment.” And apparently, this has become a popular catch-phrase when posting about the “good ole days” before there were cell phones.
Genesis 4-5 – God’s Promises Always Triumph
In Genesis 4-5, we see the fall of mankind into sinfulness and decay. Just one generation after walking with God, the first person commits murder. After the murder, Cain and his family grow in their depravity. As this is taking place, Adam and Eve were likely wondering if God’s promise of a savior would ever happen. But just when it seemed like nothing would happen, God steps in and sends them a new son, Seth. What we need to always…
