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…

Romans 4:1-15 – A Case Study On Faith
In Romans 4, Paul moves from telling us what the good news is to giving us an example of how it was practiced. Abraham was not a perfect man.

In this sermon, Pastor Kyle explains this idea and what it means for us today. Faith…

Ephesians 2:8-9 – How Can I Be Sure I Am Saved?

Galatians 3:26-4:7 – What Does It Mean To Be A Son Of God?

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…
