Resource: Should We Pray To Mary?
Mary should be honored and highly respected, but should we pray to her? In this resource, Pastor Kyle addresses the issue of whether people should pray to Mary. This resource came out of the sermon: Acts 1:12-26 – Discerning the Will of God.
Acts 1:12-26 – Discerning The Will Of God
We have so many decisions to make, how do know which one is correct? Even more, how do we know which one God wants us to do? In this message, Pastor Kyle looks at the second half of Acts 1, which is about the apostles needing to make an important decision. Seeing what they did will give us some ideas about how we can discern the will of God for our life. If we are not obeying the directions that…
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…

Matthew 6:25-34 – Christian, Don’t Worry!
Worry seems to be a normal part of the human experience. But as we read Matthew 6:25-34, Jesus tells us that there are certain things we should not worry about. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle explains Jesus’ words to show that instead of worrying we should pursue the things of God. “Since God values you, you can trust that he will take care of your needs. Therefore you do not need to worry!” Sermon Clip (The teaching sheet can be…
Psalm 23:4 – I Will Fear No Evil
Psalm 23 is perhaps one of the most well known chapters in all of the Bible. In the second sermon of our Peace Within series, Pastor Kyle explains what David meant when he said he did not need to fear evil. There is a lot we can take away from what David said! “My challenge to you is not to become less fearful. My challenge to you is to stay close to the shepherd who can give you peace in…
Matthew 11:28-30 – Finding Spiritual Peace
We live in a busy, anxious world. And with all the craziness around us, how do we have peace? In the first of a three week series, Pastor Kyle preaches from Matthew 11:28-30 and talks about how we can find spiritual peace. “Jesus calls us to ‘Come to him!’ Not religion, not good works, not even church. First and foremost, we must first come to him! Only then will our lives be changed and only then will we find true…
Ruth 4:1-22 – Kinsman Redeemer
It’s the “moment of truth.” Boaz goes off in search of the other kinsman redeemer to find out if he will redeemer Ruth. In this last chapter of Ruth, we learn more about what a kinsman redeemer does it is a picture of what Jesus Christ has done for us. We will also see that, just how Boaz and Naomi were encouraged and held accountable by their community, we should be as well. “Boaz gives us a picture of what…
Ruth 3:1-18 – A Strange Proposal
In Ruth 3, Naomi and Ruth are running out of time. The harvest is just about over and Boaz will be returning home. He obviously is not making a move, so Naomi comes up with a plan of her own to get Ruth and Boaz married. It turns out to not be the greatest advice, but it works because Ruth and Boaz have a great amount of integrity. There is a lot we can learn from the two of them…
Ruth 2:1-23 – Coincidence, Testimony, Kindness
In Ruth 2, Pastor Kyle shares the story of what Ruth and Naomi do once they arrive back in Bethlehem. Desperate to survive, Ruth goes out and picks up grains along with the other poor. Little does she know that God is at work behind the scenes and he is about to lead someone to her that will show her extraordinary kindness. “Just as Boaz was kind to Ruth, and Christ was kind to us, we are called to be…

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 – Our Hope Is In Heaven
Christians talk about heaven all the time, but how does the future idea of heaven benefit us who are still alive? What good is heaven for the busy mom or dad, a retired person, or a student? In this sermon, Pastor Kyle looks at 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and shows us that heaven can give us hope on this earth, even in the present. The reality is that life does not always go our way. Bad things happen. People die. And…
