Matthew 28:18-20 – Our 2026 Vision
In this message, we pause to look ahead and clarify where Island Pond Baptist Church is going in 2026. Rooted in Jesus’ command in Matthew 28, the sermon reminds us that our mission never changes: we exist to make disciples. From that unchanging mission flows a practical, flexible vision for the year ahead, centered on three priorities—Gather, Grow, and Go. Together, these guide how we worship, mature spiritually, and engage our community so that more lives are changed by the…
1 Timothy 2:1-7 – Have You Prayed Today?
When the news feels dark and divided, Paul gives Christians a clear first priority: pray. In 1 Timothy 2:1–7 we’re urged to offer all kinds of prayers for all kinds of people — including leaders we dislike — because such prayer pleases God. God desires people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth, and there is only one way to Him: one God and one Mediator, Jesus Christ. The stakes are eternal, so the church…

Acts 1:6-11 – A Disciple Testifies
In this sermon, Pastor Kyle gives the sixth characteristic of being a disciple of Jesus Christ, which is: A disciple of Jesus Christ testifies. In Acts 1:6-11, Jesus is about to ascend into heaven when his disciples ask him if he is going to save Israel from the Romans.

Romans 9:30-10:21 – Our Responsibility
After spending most of chapter 9 talking about God’s sovereignty and his election of people, Paul transitions into something that seems to be contrary to what he just talked about: man’s responsibility. Paul says that salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ. With that in mind, we as Christians are called to proclaim the message of Jesus to people around us. Paul was willing to step outside of his comfort zone, traditions, and customs in order to reach people. So…
