Hebrews 12:4-11 – Godly Discipline Makes Your Life Better

In this sermon, Pastor Kyle explains why discipline is necessary, what it is, and how it will…
Psalm 1:1-6 – The Path To A Happy Life
We are constantly shown on television and other places that the path to a happy life is success or money. But in Psalm 1, we are given an alternative. In this psalm, we are told that happiness does not come from money, fame, or a well-paying job. Instead, it comes through delighting in God’s Word.

Romans 1:15-17 – Embrace The Gospel
In this new series, Pastor Kyle talks about what it means to live the good life. Many people see “the good life” as success, money, or vacation. While there is nothing wrong with these things, we should not depend upon them for ultimate happiness. Instead, we should live a gospel-centered life and let happiness flow out of our relationship with Jesus Christ. Through the gospel we can still enjoy material things, but we will never depend upon them. A gospel-centered…
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!
