Judges 6:1-32 – Wimps Who Win
Let’s face it: Gideon was a wimp. Yet despite the fact that he was fearful every step of the way, God greeted him by saying, “Hello mighty man of valor!” Why is that? The answer to that is something we all need to hear. You see, God did not declare Gideon mighty because of Gideon’s might. He declared Gideon mighty because of God’s might in him. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle shows why this is so important for us to…
Judges 4-5 – Calling Men And Women!
In Judges 4, we see our first and only female Judge. God speaks through her and leads her to deliver Israel from their enemy. This story shows us just how important women are in kingdom work. However, in chapter five, we also see how important men are as well. In fact, for us to effectively reach the world, both men and women are needed for kingdom work! In this sermon, Pastor Kyle challenges men and women to get involved in…
Judges 2:16-3:30 – God Saves Through Weakness
Chapters 2 and 3 show how God works through weakness. Ehud had a physical disability that likely caused him to be perceived as weak and unthreatening. However, God took his weakness and turned it into a strength. Do you realize that God can use your perceived weaknesses as strengths as well? Your weakness uniquely suits you to be used by God.

Judges 1:1-2:5 – How To Fail Spiritually – Part 2 – Don’t Teach The Next Generation
Verse 10 shows that an entire nation did not even know God. What can we learn from this passage to ensure that the same does not happen to our children? In this sermon, Pastor Kyle gives some things that we can do to help our kids know and love Jesus more. Will this ensure that they will grow up to love Jesus? No. But NOT doing these things will increase the odds of them not know God. May what is…
Judges 1:1-2:5 – How To Fail Spiritually – Part 1
The book of Judges shows the downward spiral of the nation of Israel. In the previous book of the Bible, Joshua, the nation showed so much promise. However, by the end of Judges, they were spiritually in shambles. So what happened? What went wrong? In this first chapter, the author of Judges lays a foundation for their spiritual failure. Let’s learn from the Israelites so we can know what NOT to do. Failure comes when you only follow God half-heartedly.…
James 5:13-20 – The Importance of Prayer
Parting last words. There is an element of weight and importance to them. In these parting last words of James, the author has a very simple message: never stop praying. Not only is prayer important because it keeps our thoughts focused on God, but it also connects us with him. It is when we are connected that he is most likely to do mighty things through us. God does not ask us to be amazing. He simply asks us to…
James 5:7-12 – Patience In Suffering
None of us like to be patient, but it is even harder when we have to be patient during difficult times. In this passage, Pastor Kyle preaches in James and talks about the importance of being patient during suffering and waiting for the return of Jesus. While you are suffering, James tells us to be kind and honest so that we will not lose our witness. Sermon Clip MESSAGE Notes James 5:7-12 – Patience During Suffering Pastor Kyle Lewis …
James 5:1-6 – The Danger of Wealth
Money is not something most pastors like to talk about. However, James is addressing something that is very practical in the lives of believers. Money is something we all desire, but it can also be so dangerous. So James gives some very strong warnings about the dangers. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle examines these dangers and then shows what we should do instead. You cannot serve both God and money, so you must choose which one will take priority. Sermon…
James 4:13-17 – The Danger of Pride
In James 4:13-17, James warns us about the dangers of pride and how it can lead to our spiritual downfall. Therefore we must be very intentional about getting it out of our life. In this passage, James gives two examples about how pride leads us astray and how we can get it out of our life. Even when times are crazy, God does not give us permission to act pridefully.

James 4:1-12 – Who Is Your Friend?
After a short break we continue through our series in James. In this passage, James will talk about two types of friendships: with the world and with God. One will lead to a life of chaos. The other will lead to a life of spiritual fruitfulness. Which one will you choose? The key word is ONE because you can only be friends with one. So if you choose to be friends with the world, you will become an enemy of…

John 20:19-20 – The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Easter
This is a terrible Easter! People are dying, a virus is spreading around, and people have to remain socially distant. But did you know that the disciples had a pretty terrible first Easter two-thousand years ago. But something dramatically changed that turned their Easter from terrible to amazing. We can learn from them as we go through our own challenges. The resurrection of Jesus changes everything! It proves he really is God. Sermon Clip Full Service MESSAGE Notes John 20:19-20…
