In this passage, Pastor Kyle explains that there are two teams or representatives. We all begin in the first one (Adam), and we all have the choice to move to the other one (Jesus).

Judges 19-21 – Don’t Do This On Your Own
In this last sermon in the book of Judges, we see people living their own way. They have their own morality and their own “right” and “wrong”. Obviously, this leads to all sorts of problems.

Judges ends in a very sour way and the same will happen to us if we live apart from God and his direction…

The primary way that God will lead us is through…
Psalm 23:1 – I Am Content In My Shepherd
Psalm 23 is perhaps one of the most well-known passages in all of Scripture. But do we truly understand what it means? In this first sermon in the series, Pastor Kyle shows us how it is important to make Jesus your shepherd. When he is our shepherd, we can go through life without wanting everything. Since Jesus is the Good Shepherd, he will care for us in a way that we can be content. David does not say, “The Lord…
