Psalm 119:9-16 – The Path To Purity
At the beginning of Psalm 119:9, the psalmist asks a very important question: “How can a young man keep his way pure?” Thankfully, he doesn’t leave us hanging! In the very next line his answer is: “by living according to your Word.” In this sermon, Pastor Kyle explores what it means to live by the Word of God so that we can remain on the path to purity. We need to learn the Word, share the Word, meditate on the…
Psalm 102 – Praying When Life Is A Mess
Let’s be honest, life can feel like a mess sometimes. And when that happens, the WORST thing you can do is run from God. Instead, you should run to God. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle looks at Psalm 102 and shows how we can come to God in prayer when life is a mess. Through the Psalm we see that we should come to God desperately, honestly, and confidently. So when life is tough, let’s go to God! Our God…
Psalm 84 – There’s No Place Like Home
In the Wizard of Oz, Dorothy decided at the end that “there’s no place like home.” She realized that she would be most happy back with her family on her farm. In Psalm 84, the Sons of Korah give a similar sentiment, but about being near God. As ones how worked in the temple, they wanted to inspire others to come and be near God. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle explores this idea and shows that there is truly no…
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…
Psalm 51 – How To Repent
In the last sermon, we looked at repentance and forgiveness from a spiritual perspective. This time we look at repentance from the human side of things. Psalm 51 gives us an “inside look” at David’s thinking when he repented of his sins. As we examine how David repented, we can learn from it and know how to do it more effectively ourselves. Look to God to restore your life! Sermon Clip The message notes for the sermon can be…
Psalm 30 – Let’s Praise God
In Psalm 30, we see how David praised God in the good times. He was saved from a difficult situation so David praised God. However, in the second part of the Psalm, we see that David went through a difficult time. Yet even in the difficult time, David still praised God! Therefore, we can learn that it is important to praise God in the good AND in the bad. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle shows us why this is so…
Psalm 23 – God Is Your Shepherd
Psalm 23 is perhaps one of the most well known passages in the entire Bible. Not only is it loved by Christians, but many people who do not follow God know this psalm. Clearly, it has struck a nerve with people around the world. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle examines the beloved “23rd Psalm” and shows the implications of God being our shepherd. Knowing this should help us understand just how much God loves us and have confidence that we…
Psalm 19 – God Speaks To Us
In Psalm 19, David gives two ways that God speaks to us. He speaks to us through creation, telling us about his handiwork and glory. He also speaks to us through Scripture, in which we learn more about who he is and what he has done for us. We should be listening to what he says in both ways. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle explains how we can better listen to him through the ways that he is speaking to…
Psalm 1:1-6 – The Blessed Life
Do you want to live a blessed life? Do you want to have deep joy and happiness that only comes from knowing you have a relationship with God and that your sins are forgiven? In this first chapter in Psalms, we are told how we can have a blessed life. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle explains what it means to be blessed (and what it does NOT mean) and what we are called to do in order to be blessed.…
Ephesians 4:1-3 – Calling, Not Vocation
This is the first sermon in a three part series on glorifying God at work. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle looks at Ephesians 4:1-3, in which we learn that no matter the job we have, we can still glorify God. As Paul was writing the letter he was in a very non-ideal position in prison. But even then he encouraged people to live out the calling God gave them. You may not be in a great job right now. No…
Ecclesiastes 11:7 – 12:14 – Don’t Waste Your Life
In this last passage in Ecclesiastes, Solomon has some important warnings: enjoy your youthful days, watch out because aging is coming, remember that your actions still matter. Then, in the final verses of the book, he sums up his entire message by telling us to fear God. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle examines the final words of Solomon and shows us how we can avoid the warning of not wasting our life. When you are almost dead, what is going…
Ecclesiastes 7-11 – Wisdom in a Crazy World
In chapters 7-11 of Ecclesiastes, Solomon gives words of wisdom on a wide array of subjects. Pastor Kyle backs up to look at the big picture of the passage and explains the role that wisdom plays in this world. While it is something we should pursue, it is not something that we should put our hope in. The best wisdom will direct us to God and put our trust in him. Wisdom is good, but sin has made it unreliable,…
