Daniel 3 – The Fiery Furnace
Daniel 3 tells one of the popular stories found in a children’s Bible about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and the fiery furnace. While many know the basic story there is so much more than what a few pictures can convey. In this passage, Pastor Kyle explains the story and also talks about what we, as modern readers, can learn from it. In the midst of this passage is a story about not bowing down to idols. Even more, we find…
Daniel 2:24-49 – Dreams of the Future
Starting in Daniel 2:24, Daniel meets with the king and gives him the dream and its interpretation. The dream comes off as strange to 21st century readers, but the basic idea has powerful implications that extend to today. With all the craziness going on in life, God is still in control. Even more, God is stronger than any other kingdom out there. Pastor Kyle talks about the implications of this and how we can live in light of the dream.…
Daniel 1 – Living Far From Home

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. They don’t believe until they actually see Jesus. Is it ok to doubt? What does Jesus do about our doubt? Pastor Kyle explores these subjects and more. At its core, being a Christian means having a personal relationship with God. Sermon Clip Island…
John 19 – Crucified
What’s the big deal with the crucifixion? Why do Christians have the cross — a method of capital punishment in the first century Roman Empire — as a symbol of the religion? In this sermon, Pastor Kyle looks at John’s account of the crucifixion in chapter 19. 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…

Luke 2:8-12 – The Heart of Christmas Brings Joy
Luke 2 is the amazing story of Jesus coming to this earth as a baby. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle looks at the proclamation of joy for all people.

It just comes from a different situation… Jesus. Sermon Clip The message notes for the sermon can be downloaded by clicking…
Luke 2:8-14 – Peace Is At The Heart Of Christmas
Luke 2 is perhaps one of the most well-known passages related to the Christmas story. An angel proclaims the good news of Jesus to the shepherds. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle focuses on the message that is proclaimed and how it brings peace to us. But what exactly does it mean to have the “peace” that is proclaimed by the angels? How do we get it? Listen on to find out. The peace of God is an internal reality in…
Job 4-7 – Sin and Suffering
In Job 4-7, Job’s friend Eliphaz speaks up and tells Job that he is suffering because he is sinning. Job doesn’t know what he did, but by the end of chapter 7, he is asking God why he won’t forgive him for whatever he did. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle answers the question that Job and Eliphaz discuss. Does God punish us because we sin? There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus!

Jesus cleans the unclean! Sermon Clip The message…
