Psalm 67 – Blessed to be a Blessing
In this very short psalm, we see one very important truth: God blesses us in order to be a blessing to other people. Pastor Kyle shows us that we should use the many blessings God has given us, both physical and spiritual, to be a blessing to the world. Don’t let the blessings you have receive stop with you. Instead, use them to reach the world with the message of Jesus Christ. As Pastor Kyle mentions at the beginning of…
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. The words, in essence, compose his retirement message. In the message, Paul encourages us to keep fighting until the end, stay focused on the mission God has given us, and always preach the word. It is not a bad thing to stop your vocation job, but it is a…

Luke 15:1-10 – A Heart For The Lost
After Jesus is criticized for spending time with the sinners, he gives three powerful parables to show that lost people matter to him. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle looks at the first two parables. Since lost people matter to Jesus, they should matter to us too. And if they matter, are they leading us to action? Caring for the lost should lead to action to reach the lost!

Psalm 23:6 – Blessings and Responsibilities in the Shepherd
In this last sermon in the Psalm 23 series, Pastor Kyle talks about how we have amazing benefits in the shepherd. We are truly blessed being part of the shepherd’s family! But with these blessings come some responsibilities as well. God wants us to spread the blessings around to other people! May we not just keep them for ourselves, but use them to touch the lives of those around us. God wants you to use the blessings he has given…
Acts 5:17-42 – A Spirit-Empowered Prison Escape
We all love a good prison escape story, but the one in Acts 5 is unique. Not only does an angel break them out, but they are told to go and keep doing the very thing that got them put into prison! In this sermon, Pastor Kyle examines the motivations behind going back out into public after “escaping.” Do we have the same passion as the apostles, even at the risk of persecution? They knew, that they knew, that they…
Acts 4:23-31 – A Spirit-Empowered Prayer
We pay attention to things that get results. Here in Acts 4:23-31, a group of Christians stop and pray and the passage ends with some major results! Pastor Kyle walks us through the passage and shares who we can pray a spirit-empowered prayer as well. Do you want God to work mightily in your prayers? Then let’s pay attention to what the Christians pray in this prayer! Sermon Clip (The teaching sheet can be downloaded by clicking on the above…
Acts 2:13-41 – Peter’s First Sermon
After the events at Pentecost, all the bystanders stood around, wondering, “What in the world just happened?” So weak Peter get’s up and preaches a bold, powerful sermon. What made the difference? Just 50 days prior he denies Christ three times, but now he is boldly proclaiming him. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle gives two things that made all the difference in Peter and can make all the difference in us as well. Peter was totally changed after he witnessed…
Acts 1:1-11 – Jesus Ascends… Now What?
The disciples had spent three years with Jesus, but by the end of this passage he would no longer be with them physically. What were they to do once Jesus left? Sit back and wait? Hide from the world? Verse 8 gives us the answer: “Be my witnesses!” In this sermon, Pastor Kyle talks about the importance of being a witness for Christ and how we go about being a witness. We are not called to live a life of…
Luke 5:17-26 – Are You A Fan or Contributor?
In Luke 5, several friends work hard for the sake of one. Pastor Kyle points out several things that we can learn from them as we reach out to our “one” as well. This is the second of two sermons in the “Who’s Your One?” series. The friends of the paralytic encountered an obstacle when trying to help him. The door to Jesus was completely blocked so they went through the roof instead. When we encounter obstacles in getting our…
John 1:35-49 – Come and See
Pastor Kyle begins a new series titled, “Who’s Your One.” In this sermon, he looks at John 1:35-49 and shows us how God can move by changing one life at a time. We often get overwhelmed trying to reach out to many people at one time, when often in the New Testament it starts with one person and then grows from there. “We are not called to convert people. We are simply called to share. Are you pointing people to…
