John 20 – Alive
Happy Easter! In this sermon, Pastor Kyle looks at John 20. From the moment Mary sees the empty tomb in verse 1 to a week later when Thomas is told Jesus is alive, Jesus’ followers doubt.

At its core, being a Christian means having a personal relationship with God. Sermon Clip Island…

We should do the same to others. Before Jesus died, he served. …
Philemon 8-25 – Remember The “Gospel Principle”

Romans 8:14-17 – In Christ I Am Adopted Into His Family

Romans 8:1-13 – In Christ I Am Declared Not Guilty
Romans 8 is a very important chapter in Romans. In this first sermon through the chapter, Pastor Kyle looks at Paul’s words in verses 1-13. Paul says that in Christ we are not condemned. That is a legal phrase that points to a judge looking at the facts and then declaring, “not guilty!” How amazing is it to see that he declares us not guilty through Jesus Christ! We are set free in Christ to walk “according to the spirit,”…
