Christmas doesn’t end when the lights come down and the decorations get packed away. In this message, Keep Following the Light, Kyle looks at the story of the wise men and asks an important question: What do we do with Christmas after Christmas?
If you’re living a godly life, what should you expect? Many of us assume following Jesus leads to smooth sailing, but Jesus ends the Beatitudes with a surprising truth: persecution is inevitable for those who follow Him.
From 1 Peter 4, we discover five powerful truths about responding to the fire of persecution:
✦ Don’t be surprised by it
✦ Rejoice in it
✦ Don’t confuse it
✦ Be refined by it
✦ Never face it alone
Conflict is a reality for all of us. In this message on Matthew 5:9, Kyle talks honestly about what it means to follow Jesus into those places and bring peace instead of avoiding the tension.
Using the story of Abigail from 1 Samuel 25, we look at how one person with courage, humility, and faith can change the entire direction of a situation.
If you’ve got strained relationships, unresolved conflict, or places in life where peace has been missing for far too long, this message will speak to you. And it just might give you the first step you need to take.
Jesus teaches that the pure in heart are the ones who truly see God. In this message, we explore what purity of heart actually means, why our inner life shapes everything we do, and how small compromises grow into major spiritual problems. Drawing from Mark 7 and Matthew 5:8, he walks through the difference between managing the gap and closing the gap and offers three practical steps to cultivate a single-hearted devotion to Jesus.
In this message, we continue our journey through the Beatitudes by looking at Jesus’ call to live a life marked by mercy. In a world quick to condemn, cancel, and keep score, Jesus invites us into something radically different-a life shaped by the mercy we ourselves have received from God.
We are all hungry for something.
Purpose. Peace. Acceptance. Achievement. Security.
But the things we chase have a way of leaving us emptier than before.
Jesus speaks directly to that deep inner hunger when He says:
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” (Matthew 5:6)
Most of us want to be in control. We try to manage every detail, fix every problem, and keep every plate spinning. But Jesus teaches a better way. “Blessed are the humble, for they will inherit the earth.”
We’ll learn that we learn to trust, delight, commit, and rest in God, we find the peace we’ve been chasing.
We usually think of mourning as something to avoid. But Jesus said, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”
This message looks at what Jesus meant by mourning, and how it goes beyond grief or sadness. It is about grieving over sin—what it has done to us, in us, and around us. You will learn how mourning over sin leads to the comfort of God’s grace and the transformation of your heart.
We spend so much of life chasing happiness. The next raise, the next vacation, the next relationship, because we believing that if we could just get there, we’d finally feel complete. But Jesus opens His most famous sermon with a statement that turns our view of happiness upside down:
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
In this message, we unpack what it really means to be “poor in spirit,” why true joy can only be found when we come to God empty-handed, and how material abundance and moral excellence can actually keep us from the life God wants for us.
It’s possible to believe in God but live like you don’t need Him. In this message, we look at Jesus’ words to the church in Laodicea. They were wealthy, capable, and confident, but had become spiritually lukewarm. Jesus isn’t condemning their comfort. He is calling them closer. The cure for complacency isn’t more effort. It is intimacy.
