Romans 8:14-17 – In Christ I Am Adopted Into His Family

In this next section of Romans 8, Paul talks about how those who are in Christ are adopted into his spiritual family. We all love to listen to a good adoption story, but in this passage Paul says that WE are part of an adoption story from God. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle explains what that means for us and how we should live out this idea. If you have been saved by Jesus, then you are part of an…

Romans 3:21-31 – The Righteousness of God

Verses 21-26 are viewed my some scholars and pastors as the most important part of Romans. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle says that if we truly understand the righteousness of God and how Jesus Christ has made a way for us to be made righteous, then it will impact how we live out our life. We should aim to be more humble, focus on faith instead of works (in terms of salvation), and pursue unity in the church. The reason…

Romans 2:1-11 – Good People Need The Good News

In chapter 2, Paul addresses people who act well. They are moral, do good things, but do not follow God. Paul wants these people to know that they are bound for trouble if they continue like this. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle gives three descriptions of moral people from the passage and then shares one encouragement and two warnings for people who struggle with living a moral life apart from Jesus. Jesus didn’t die on the cross so that you…

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

We’ve all seen those people: They prayer a prayer or walk down the aisle, but then later on when something happens, they stray from their their faith. Were these people truly saved? Other people spend way too much time fearing that they are not saved. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle talks about some of the ways a person can know they are saved and why it is so important. It is not your power that keeps you saved. You stay…

Galatians 1:1-9 – No Other Gospel

This is the first sermon in our new series through the Letter to the Galatians! In this first part, we see Paul explain how important the gospel message is and that some folks were trying to add to the message. Pastor Kyle shows that to add to the gospel message is to essentially cancel the gospel message. This letter was given 2000 years ago but is still very applicable to us as well. We often gravitate toward adding or subtracting…

Judges 13 – Samson (part 1) – The God of the Impossible

Do you have an “impossible” situation in your life? A sin you can’t conquer? A health problem that is beyond your control? A relationship struggle that won’t get better?

Psalm 23:2-3 – The Shepherd Restores Me

In Psalm 23:2-3, David talks about God restoring him. Pastor Kyle looks at these words and explains what it means for God to restore us and WHY we needed to be restored in the first place. Apart from God, we all have an emptiness inside of us that we try to fill with different things. Only God will fill it. Will you turn to him today to restore you? Green pastures may not seem probable to a normal shepherd in…

Acts 4:10-12 – No Other Name

Acts 2:37-41 – Repentance and Baptism

Pastor Kyle focuses in on verses 37 to 41, which talk about the response of the people to Peter’s sermon. In these verses, we see two actions: they repent and they are baptized. These are two actions that every Christian must carry out. Pastor Kyle explains what these two things are and why they are so important today. Christians are identified by their actions. And these two actions are key in the life of every Christian. Sermon Clip (The teaching…

Exodus 12:21-23 – What’s The Big Deal With Easter?

In this Easter Sunday sermon, Pastor Kyle answers the question, “What’s The Big Deal With Easter?” Why is Easter usually the most attended day at church? Why not Cinco De Mayo or Valentine’s Day? It all comes down to the significance of Easter, which Pastor Kyle explains by looking at the story of Passover in Exodus 12. Just as the blood of a lamb was required for the angel of death to “pass over” a house, the blood of Jesus…
