Sermons on Attributes of God
Genesis 12-14 – Uh-Oh, Hmmm, Yee-Haw, and Oh My!
In Genesis 12-14, Abram goes through a range of experiences, both good and bad. We see an “uh-oh” moment, some adventurous “yee-haw” moments, and an amazing experience with a priest and king (“oh my”!). In this sermon, Pastor Kyle looks at what we can learn from these experiences and talks about how Christ can be seen in this passage. Melchizedek is greater than Abram and Israel’s priests.

Genesis 12 – Promises and Faith
In Genesis 12 we are introduced to a man named Abram (later changed to Abraham). Abraham is one of the most important characters in the Old Testament. In this first chapter on his life, we learn about his calling and the promises that God makes to him. What the Israelites (as a whole) could not do, the one Israelite, Jesus Christ, DID do!

Genesis 8-9 – The God of Noah
In Genesis 8-9, the story of Noah and the ark wraps up and they all make it safely out of the boat.

Genesis 4-5 – God’s Promises Always Triumph
In Genesis 4-5, we see the fall of mankind into sinfulness and decay. Just one generation after walking with God, the first person commits murder. After the murder, Cain and his family grow in their depravity. As this is taking place, Adam and Eve were likely wondering if God’s promise of a savior would ever happen. But just when it seemed like nothing would happen, God steps in and sends them a new son, Seth. What we need to always…
Matthew 1:3, Genesis 38 – Tamar: God Will Accomplish His Plan
Jesus had a bunch of crazy people and stories in his lineage. In this sermon series, Pastor Kyle looks at several of the stories from Matthew 1, which is the genealogy of Jesus. For the first sermon, we look at the story of Tamar in Genesis 38. It’s a crazy story and it is even crazier by the fact that Matthew points it out in Matthew 1. Why did Matthew do that? What can we learn from this crazy story?…

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
This is a new series through the book of Daniel (focusing mostly on chapters 1-6). In chapter 1, Daniel and several of his teenage friends are ripped out of Judah and taken to a foreign land as servants of King Nebuchadnezzar. Through this chapter, Pastor Kyle shows us what we can learn from a chapter like this, focusing on how we as Christians are also living in a foreign world since we are from the heavenly kingdom. This is not…

Job 38-42 – God On Trial
In this final sermon on the book of Job, Pastor Kyle looks at chapters 38-42 where God finally speaks. After almost an entire book of other people speaking about God, God speaks to Job. However, he doesn’t explain why Job went through all the suffering. Instead, God makes it clear that he is in charge and Job is not. Pastor Kyle explains what we can learn from this and how this impacts our life on a regular basis. God has…
Job 4-37 – Is God Fair?
Pastor Kyle looks at the entire group of conversations between Job and his three friends. The main theme throughout the discussion is on the topic of God’s fairness. By the end, a new person appears and reprimands Job and the three friends for not trusting in God the way they should. In this sermon, we will look at the idea of God’s fairness. Is he fair? And if so, how does that impact our lives? Knowing that God is fair…
Romans 15:1-13 – For The Glory of God
Last week’s sermon, looking at the end of chapter 14, dealt with letting our conscience guide us on disputable matters. Paul looks at things from a different perspective at the beginning of chapter 15 and emphasizes the importance of putting the needs of the weak over the strong. Paul, who called himself strong, said that he should look past his own desires and seek to live in a way to build others up. As we do that we will glorify…
