Matthew 1:16 – Joseph: An Adoption Story
The entire genealogy goes down to Jesus’ father Joseph. But if you know the story of Jesus, Joseph is not the biological father. So why is there a genealogy of someone who is not the biological father of Jesus? The answer is: adoption. Pastor Kyle shows how the story of Joseph being the father of Jesus is an adoption story. Even more, the good news of Jesus (known as the “Gospel”) is also an adoption story because when we put…

John 2:1-12 – The Power of Jesus
In John 2, Jesus is further revealed to the disciples and to us. In verses 1-12, Jesus takes his disciples to a wedding and something goes very wrong. The wedding runs out of wine. But why is that a big deal? And why did Jesus think it was important enough to perform a miracle to make more wine? Pastor Kyle addresses this and more. “When you are told to believe in him, believe in him up to the brim! When…
Matthew 4:18-22 – A Disciple is Called

He then shows how this goes beyond the first disciples to all people who are followers of Jesus Christ. If you have…
Daniel 11 – Learning From The Future
In Daniel 11 an angel tells Daniel what is to happen in the future. It is not a happy future for Israel. At least, not for a long time. But eventually, God will make all things right. How do we live in the meantime? While difficult things still happen. Suffering still takes place. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle expands on this idea and shows us how we can live in difficult times based on future events. A big picture perspective…
