Sermons on Jesus Christ
Luke 2:8-14 – Glory In The Highest
Christmas often comes with stress, exhaustion, and a sense of spiritual breathlessness, but Luke 2 reminds us that God meets us right in the middle of the mess. Instead of announcing the birth of Jesus to the powerful or impressive, God reveals his glory to lowly shepherds, showing that the gospel is for the weary, the overlooked, and the unworthy. Jesus enters the world humbly in a manger, proving we do not have to clean ourselves up before coming to…
Revelation 5:1-14 – Christmas: Endgame
Christmas is not just about a baby in a manger, it is the opening move in God’s ultimate endgame. In Revelation 5 we see Jesus as both the Lion of Judah and the slain Lamb who alone is worthy to take the scroll, carry out God’s final plan, judge evil, and redeem His people. This message calls us to see Christmas through the lens of heaven’s worship scene and to respond with deeper repentance, faith, and wholehearted praise. The baby…
Isaiah 9:2-7 – Light Piercing The Darkness
Isaiah 9 shows a people living in deep spiritual darkness, blind, enslaved, and hopeless, until God shines a great light into their world.

As the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace, he breaks the chains we cannot break ourselves. This sermon calls us to step out of darkness, embrace the Savior who has come,…

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…
Daniel 7 – Signs of the Future Times
Starting in this chapter, Daniel 7, the book takes a dramatic shift from stories about God working through Daniel and his friends to Daniel’s visions. These visions are considered apocalyptic literature, which is a unique style of writing that uses a lot of symbolism to talk about the future. While this chapter is full of beasts and fear, it is also clear that Jesus will be victorious in the end. It may hurt now but it will be worth it…
Daniel 3 – The Fiery Furnace
Daniel 3 tells one of the popular stories found in a children’s Bible about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and the fiery furnace.

In this passage, Pastor Kyle explains the story and also talks about what we, as modern readers, can learn from it. In the midst of this passage is a story about not bowing down to idols. Even more, we find…
