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…
Betrayed – John 18:1-11, 15-18, 25-27
In this sermon, Pastor Kyle looks at parts of John 18 where Jesus is arrested and then Peter denies him three times. Through these verses, we see how man is at his worst by betraying, denying, or abandoning Jesus. However, even while man is at his worst, Jesus is at his best by showing love for those that follow him and then shortly after going to the cross. We should never let past victories be a predictor of future results.…
John 13:1-19 – Served
In this new series, Pastor Kyle looks at the last week of Jesus’ life. It was a week that changed everything. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle focuses on Jesus’ time with his disciples at the Last Supper. During the supper, while the disciples are fighting with each other over who is the greatest, Jesus shows his love for them and washes their feet. In love, he served them. We should do the same to others. Before Jesus died, he served. …
1 Corinthians 15:17-19 – The Resurrection
In this Easter 2022 message, Pastor Kyle talks about the importance of the resurrection of Jesus.

Then in the second half of the sermon, Pastor Kyle gives three evidences for the resurrection and talks about what it means for us. You may not agree with the implications of the empty tomb but you are ignoring strong…
John 11 – The Resurrection And The Life
This is the Easter sermon from Island Pond Baptist Church! In John 11, Jesus delays helping his friend Lazarus. The disciples wonder about this, and Jesus says it is because he wants to teach them a lesson. What lesson is that? Pastor Kyle walks through the chapter and shows what is so important that Jesus let a friend die. It is something that we all must learn. Jesus wants them to know that HE is the resurrection and the life.…
John 20:19-20 – The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Easter

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…
1 Corinthians 15:17-18 – Why The Resurrection Is So Important
Listen, you can say what you want about the implications of the empty tomb, but you are ignoring strong evidence if you say the tomb wasn’t empty.
