Matthew 28:16-20 – We Are Called To Make Disciples
“If we don’t know where we are headed, then any direction will get us there.” In this sermon, Pastor Kyle talks about where the church is headed in the next few years. Preaching from Matthew 28, he shows that Jesus has given all Christians the mission of making disciples. That should be our focus as a church and that is what we will be working toward improving in the years to come. If Jesus wants Christians to make disciples, then…
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…
Philippians 3:20-21 – O Come O Come Emmanuel
O Come, O Come Emmanuel is a Christmas carol that conveys a longing for Jesus Christ to return. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle examines the carol, along with Philippians 3:20-21, to show why we are longing for Christ and not someone else. Why we need Christ and not someone else!

Luke 2:8-20 – Little Drummer Boy
The Little Drummer Boy is one of the most popular Christmas carols of our modern time. But in the midst of the simple words about a boy who has not gifts to offer the baby Jesus, there is a powerful message that all of us need to here. In this message, Pastor Kyle shows how the story of the drummer boy is closely tied to the story of the shepherds, and explains what we can learn from these two stories.…
Hebrews 12:4-11 – Godly Discipline Makes Your Life Better
“Do you want to have a better life? Then embrace discipline!” This is not a statement that will get a lot of popularity votes. If it was an infomercial, it would not get a lot of calls. But Hebrews 12 makes it clear: Discipline will make us better. In fact, this is one of the primary ways in which God helps us grow. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle explains why discipline is necessary, what it is, and how it will…
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…
Ephesians 4:31-32 – Get Rid Of Bitterness
Bitterness is one of those things that will eat you alive from the inside out if you are not careful to get rid of it quickly. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle shows why we need to forgive and what we should do instead. Not only is beneficial to forgive, but it is also modeled to us by Jesus. Let’s learn from his example and get rid of all bitterness! Yes, getting rid of bitterness will dramatically improve your life, but…
Romans 1:15-17 – Embrace The Gospel
In this new series, Pastor Kyle talks about what it means to live the good life. Many people see “the good life” as success, money, or vacation. While there is nothing wrong with these things, we should not depend upon them for ultimate happiness. Instead, we should live a gospel-centered life and let happiness flow out of our relationship with Jesus Christ. Through the gospel we can still enjoy material things, but we will never depend upon them. A gospel-centered…
Luke 15:1-10 – A Heart For The Lost
After Jesus is criticized for spending time with the sinners, he gives three powerful parables to show that lost people matter to him. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle looks at the first two parables. Since lost people matter to Jesus, they should matter to us too. And if they matter, are they leading us to action? Caring for the lost should lead to action to reach the lost!

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…
