Genesis 50 – The Faith of Joseph
Joseph’s final chapter (Genesis 50) showcases a faith that obeys, trusts, and hopes. He honors his father’s wishes despite inconvenience, forgives his brothers because he trusts God’s providence. “You meant evil… but God meant it for good.” Then he dies with confident hope that God will bring Israel home. The message calls us to choose obedience over convenience, to trust God to work good from real evil, and to anchor our hope in Christ and our true home with him.…
Genesis 49 – The Final Words of Jacob (part 2)
In this second-to-last sermon through Genesis, we explore the powerful prophetic blessings Jacob gives to his sons, with a special focus on Judah. Through Judah’s prophecy in Genesis 49, we see four vivid images that point to Jesus: the Lion, the Scepter, the Colt and Vine, and the Wine and Blood. Each image reveals a different aspect of Christ’s character, including His victory, rule, abundance, and sacrifice. This passage calls us to trust in Jesus, live in His victory, and…
Genesis 46-47 – Following God In A Foreign Land
In Genesis 46–47, Jacob faces a foreign land when God tells him to leave everything familiar and go to Egypt. Through Jacob’s journey, we learn how to follow God when life feels uncertain: by sticking close to Him in prayer and obedience, trusting Him to provide, and choosing to be a blessing wherever we are. As believers, we are all sojourners in this world, and citizens of heaven who are called to walk with our Savior who is always with…
Genesis 32:9-12 – A Desperate Prayer
When Jacob found himself caught between an angry uncle and a furious brother, he turned to God in prayer. Though he wasn’t known for being deeply devout, Jacob gave us a powerful example of how to pray when life feels overwhelming. He approached God humbly, reminded Him of His promises, and trusted in the covenant God had made. In the same way, we can come boldly to God—not because we’ve earned it, but because Jesus made a way. When trouble…
Genesis 22:1-19 – The Lord Will Provide
What happens when God gives you a test you never saw coming? In this sermon on Genesis 22, Pastor Kyle explores Abraham’s greatest test—being asked to sacrifice his beloved son, Isaac. Why would God command this? How does it fit with his character? And ultimately, how does this story foreshadow Jesus Christ and the gospel? Join us as we uncover how God provides, why obedience matters, and how Abraham’s journey points us to the ultimate sacrifice—Jesus, the Lamb of God.…
1 Peter 2:9-10 – Called To Proclaim
In this series, Pastor Kyle focuses on five steps to take to grow spiritually. In this sermon, which is the fifth step, Pastor Kyle talks about the importance of proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ. Looking at 1 Peter 2:9-10, we are told who we are, what we should do (in light of who we are), and why we should do it. Because we are God’s chosen people, we are called to proclaim God’s love to others. When you…
Romans 6:15-23 – Finding True Life In Obedience
In Romans 6:15-23, Paul writes the church to tell them about the difference between being a slave to sin and a slave to righteousness. While a person’s identity is made through faith in Jesus Christ, a person’s identity is SHOWN through obedience to your master. So your actions play a very important role in showing who you belong to. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle explains what this means and how this applies to us today. As the text shows, true…
Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 – Take God Seriously
We cannot live a meaningful life unless we take God seriously. In this passage, Solomon talks about ways that we should do exactly that. He talks about the importance of obedience, listening, and integrity. If you go throughout life and do not take him seriously, then you will end up saying what Solomon has said, “Meaningless, meaningless!” Let’s live meaningful lives and take him seriously. We worship God through listening and obeying. Sermon Clip The message notes for the…
James 1:19-25 – The Importance of Obedience
In this passage, James gives three different ways that Christians do not obey God. Some do not listen, others do not remember, and others do not act. Each of these three are full of problems, and James gives us suggestions on how we can get better at obeying. If we get better at obeying the Word of God, we will thrive spiritually and, as James says, “be blessed.” One of the keys to thriving as a Christian is obeying the…
