Sermons on Evangelism
Matthew 5:33-48 – Living As A Witness To The World
In Matthew 5:33-48, Jesus talks about how we should live around other people. In particular, how do we shine as Christians to people? Jesus gives the examples of being truthful, loving our enemies, and not retaliating. If we live these out we will be much better witnesses to those around us. We can’t tell people about the truth of Jesus if they don’t believe us. Sermon Clip (The teaching sheet with the main points of the message can be downloaded…

Acts 1:6-11 – A Disciple Testifies
In this sermon, Pastor Kyle gives the sixth characteristic of being a disciple of Jesus Christ, which is: A disciple of Jesus Christ testifies. In Acts 1:6-11, Jesus is about to ascend into heaven when his disciples ask him if he is going to save Israel from the Romans. Jesus flips the responsibility to what his disciples are not to do: go be a witness to the world! Pastor Kyle explains more about this and how it applies to us. Witnessing…

Romans 16:17-27 – Don’t Lose Focus (part 2)
In the last part of chapter 16, Paul gives two final statements. First, he talks about the importance of avoiding divisive people who try to deceive Christians from following the gospel message. Second, he describes who God is and ends the chapter by praising him. Pastor Kyle explains the importance of these two things and shows how we can do these in our own lives as well. Avoid the ones who will negatively influence you but engage the others. Sermon…
Romans 16:1-16 – Don’t Lose Focus (part 1)
In this final chapter of Romans, Paul has a number of last words for the churches in Rome. All of it can be summed up with this statement: don’t lose focus.

John 1:35-49 – One Life Changing Many
In John 1:35-49, we see the story of people meeting Jesus and then inviting others to meet Jesus. One life makes a big difference because that one can reach others.

Romans 9:30-10:21 – Our Responsibility
After spending most of chapter 9 talking about God’s sovereignty and his election of people, Paul transitions into something that seems to be contrary to what he just talked about: man’s responsibility. Paul says that salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ. With that in mind, we as Christians are called to proclaim the message of Jesus to people around us. Paul was willing to step outside of his comfort zone, traditions, and customs in order to reach people. So…
2 Timothy 4:1-8 – Paul’s Retirement Message
Can Christians glorify God during retirement? If so, how do they do it? In this message, Pastor Kyle looks at some of Paul’s last words he wrote before he was martyred.
