Daniel 2:24-49 – Dreams of the Future

Daniel 2:1-19 – When Life Gets Out of Control
What do you do when life gets out of control? In this sermon, Pastor Kyle looks at the first part of Daniel 2.

John 21 – New
In this last sermon in the series, Pastor Kyle looks at John 21. This chapter takes place after The Week but was only possible because of what happened from the death and resurrection of Jesus.

It is out of this chapter that Peter finally understands that he is a new creation in Christ. If you are a…
John 20 – Alive
Happy Easter! In this sermon, Pastor Kyle looks at John 20. From the moment Mary sees the empty tomb in verse 1 to a week later when Thomas is told Jesus is alive, Jesus’ followers doubt.

At its core, being a Christian means having a personal relationship with God. Sermon Clip Island…
John 19 – Crucified

A closer look at the passage shows some of the reasons why the crucifixion is so important to Christians and how Jesus dying on the cross impacts all of us. In that one…
Betrayed – John 18:1-11, 15-18, 25-27
In this sermon, Pastor Kyle looks at parts of John 18 where Jesus is arrested and then Peter denies him three times. Through these verses, we see how man is at his worst by betraying, denying, or abandoning Jesus. However, even while man is at his worst, Jesus is at his best by showing love for those that follow him and then shortly after going to the cross. We should never let past victories be a predictor of future results.…
John 13:1-19 – Served

During the supper, while the disciples are fighting with each other over who is the greatest, Jesus shows his love for them and washes their feet. In love, he served them. We should do the same to others. Before Jesus died, he served. …
