Ecclesiastes 1:1-18, 12:8-14 – Are You Chasing The Wind?
We begin a new series through the book of Ecclesiastes. In today’s passage, Solomon warns that life can be like “chasing after the wind.” The depressing thing is that he seems to say that EVERYTHING we do in life is like chasing after the wind. Is this true? In this sermon, Pastor Kyle explains what he is saying and how we can avoid living a life that is chasing after the wind. Jesus is the “lens” through which the rest…
Hebrews 10:5-18 – The Mission and Sufficiency of Christ the Messiah

We also have many people at our church from surrounding cities such as Chester, Sandown, Danville, Kingston, Fremont, Plaistow, Atkinson, Derry, Londonderry, Salem, and Haverhill.

Philippians 3:20-21 – O Come O Come Emmanuel
O Come, O Come Emmanuel is a Christmas carol that conveys a longing for Jesus Christ to return. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle examines the carol, along with Philippians 3:20-21, to show why we are longing for Christ and not someone else. Why we need Christ and not someone else! Have you ever thought, “There has got to be something better out there.” Well, you are correct. Do you know where to look? Christ is mightier than anything we will…
Hebrews 10:1-4 – The Weakness of the Old Testament Sacrificial System

Luke 15:1-10 – A Heart For The Lost
After Jesus is criticized for spending time with the sinners, he gives three powerful parables to show that lost people matter to him. In this sermon, Pastor Kyle looks at the first two parables. Since lost people matter to Jesus, they should matter to us too. And if they matter, are they leading us to action? Caring for the lost should lead to action to reach the lost!

Acts 5:17-42 – A Spirit-Empowered Prison Escape
We all love a good prison escape story, but the one in Acts 5 is unique. Not only does an angel break them out, but they are told to go and keep doing the very thing that got them put into prison! In this sermon, Pastor Kyle examines the motivations behind going back out into public after “escaping.” Do we have the same passion as the apostles, even at the risk of persecution? They knew, that they knew, that they…
Acts 4:10-12 – No Other Name
Associate Pastor Gary Rowe talks about how salvation is only found in Jesus Christ. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.
Acts 4:1-22 – A Spirit-Empowered Defense Against Persecution
Persecution of Christians is happening all around the world. While it is not as prevalent here in the United States, there is still a lot we can learn from this passage on persecution. Pastor Kyle gives four “rules” from Acts 4:1-22 that will help us stand up against persecution and live out the Christian life. A person with a correct understanding of who Jesus is will have far less fear about what man can do to him. Sermon Clip (The…
Acts 3:1-26 – The Purpose of Miracles
What do we make of all those healings in the Bible? What do we make of healings today? In this sermon, Pastor Kyle looks at Acts 3:1-26, which is about a lame man being healed. He then shows how Peter’s explanation of the miracle sheds light on how we should understand them. The purpose of miracles are to point people to Jesus Christ. Not to make you famous. Not to use as a way to get donations. They are to…
Acts 1:1-11 – Jesus Ascends… Now What?
The disciples had spent three years with Jesus, but by the end of this passage he would no longer be with them physically. What were they to do once Jesus left? Sit back and wait? Hide from the world? Verse 8 gives us the answer: “Be my witnesses!” In this sermon, Pastor Kyle talks about the importance of being a witness for Christ and how we go about being a witness. We are not called to live a life of…
Exodus 12:21-23 – What’s The Big Deal With Easter?
In this Easter Sunday sermon, Pastor Kyle answers the question, “What’s The Big Deal With Easter?” Why is Easter usually the most attended day at church? Why not Cinco De Mayo or Valentine’s Day? It all comes down to the significance of Easter, which Pastor Kyle explains by looking at the story of Passover in Exodus 12. Just as the blood of a lamb was required for the angel of death to “pass over” a house, the blood of Jesus…
