2 Timothy 1:1-7 – When It’s Out Of Your Control

When life feels out of control, it’s easy to freeze, despair, or try to fix everything ourselves. In this sermon from 2 Timothy 1:1–7, we look at how Paul responds to overwhelming circumstances while imprisoned and facing death. Rather than giving in to fear or helplessness, Paul models a better way: trusting God’s promises, doing what he can, practicing gratitude, relying on the Spirit, and praying constantly. This message reminds us that even when situations are beyond our control, we…

Luke 1:46-55 – The Song Of A Praising Heart

In Luke 1, Mary shows us that real praise is bigger than singing songs. Praise begins with faith in what God has said, not just feelings in the moment. Mary trusts God’s word when it upends her life, rejoices in “God my Savior,” celebrates God’s mercy, strength, justice, and care, and remembers that God keeps his promises all the way back to Abraham. This sermon calls us to respond to Christmas with more than seasonal sentiment, by living a life…

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 37 – God At Work In The Dark

Genesis 37 kicks off the story of Joseph, a narrative filled with betrayal, hardship, and divine purpose. Though Joseph is betrayed by his own brothers, thrown into a pit, and sold into slavery, we see that God never abandons him. This chapter highlights a dysfunctional family, unjust suffering, and God’s sovereign hand working through it all. Joseph’s story also serves as a powerful foreshadowing of Jesus—loved by the Father, hated by his own, betrayed, and yet ultimately raised up to…

Genesis 35-36 – Two Roads To A King

We often gravitate toward the flashiest option, but the story of Jesus’ triumphal entry challenges us to think differently. In Genesis 35–36, we see two lines: one from Jacob, whose kings would come slowly but endure, and one from Esau, whose kings came quickly but faded. Jesus, the true King, comes from Jacob’s line. Not with military might, but humbly riding on a donkey. Will we follow the fast and flashy kingdom, or the humble King who brings lasting peace?…

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.…

Genesis 16 – God Doesn’t Need Our Help

This sermon explores the story of Abram, Sarai, and Hagar in Genesis 16, emphasizing the consequences of trying to “help” God fulfill His promises through human means rather than trusting His plan. Sarai, unable to conceive, persuades Abram to have a child with her servant Hagar, leading to conflict and tension. Hagar flees but is met by an angel of the Lord, who prophesies about her son, Ishmael, and offers comfort to her. This passage parallels Jesus’ encounter with the…

Daniel 2:1-19 – When Life Gets Out of Control

What do you do when life gets out of control? In this sermon, Pastor Kyle looks at the first part of Daniel 2. Daniel had gone through a lot during chapter one faces an even worse trial in chapter 2 where he is almost executed. Daniels responds in a way that is worth us looking at more in depth. However, the only reason Daniel is able to do what he does is because he knew God was in control. Daniel…

Ecclesiastes 3:1-15 – The Problem of Time

In this famous part of Ecclesiastes that was put into pop culture by the 1965 Byrds song, “Turn, Turn, Turn,” the author lays out a big problem that every human has: time. It is not on our side. We cannot control it. Since it is out of our control, how do we live in a way that makes an impact with our life? The answer is to put your trust and hope in the one who is in control of…

Galatians 4:21-31 – Living In Trust

In this passage, Paul looks at the two different ways that Abraham’s children were born. One through Hagar, a servant, and the other through Sarah, his wife. Hagar conceived and gave birth when Abraham became impulsive and did not trust God. Sarah later conceived and gave birth through God’s power. Paul shows us that we need keep our trust in God’s promises. When we do not, we put ourselves back into slavery. Will you live a life of trust or…
