Hope After Church Hurt | Pastor Kyle Jackson | Week Four by Generations Church

Pastor Kyle challenges us to be doers of God's Word, not just hearers. When we store God's Word in our hearts, we build spiritual reflexes that help us respond with truth instead of reacting with emotion. It's not about retaining information, but being prepared for every circumstance you'll face!

You're trying your best to seek God but day in and day out, it feels like the same, mind-numbing routines over and over and over again. It can feel like nothing matters. When life starts to feel like a loop, you start wondering, “Is this it?” Ecclesiastes 1 is one of the most shocking chapters in Scripture because it echoes this thought that NOTHING MATTERS... at least at first. Open your Bible and follow along with Pastor Kyle.

Pastor Kyle returns to looking at Abraham's life and the choices that he makes. Today, we dive into a “repeat” event in his life and what it tells us about trusting God and how God still takes care of Abraham despite his moral failings. There is much we can learn from this, so listen in.

Sunday Morning Message - "Fellowship & Discipleship"In this message from February 22, Pastor Kyle concludes our Made to Pray series with a powerful message from Luke 11 titled, "Fellowship & Discipleship". Over the past several weeks, we've been learning the approaches Jesus gave us in the Lord's Prayer—and this week we'll finish strong by discovering how prayer draws us deeper into fellowship with the Father and shapes us into true disciples. This meaningful conclusion will help us lean in together, grow in our understanding of prayer, and step forward committed to living out what Jesus taught us.

What does it really mean to be “saved by the blood of Jesus”?In this episode of the Sound Words Podcast, Pastors Aaron Nicholson and Jesse Randolph sit down with Pastor Kyle Swanson of Redeemer Bible Church in Gilbert, Arizona to examine one of the most central — and often misunderstood — themes of the gospel.Together they explore what the New Testament means by “the blood of Christ,” why blood is essential to atonement, and how Jesus' death secures our justification before God. Drawing on the Old Testament sacrificial system, they show how Christ fulfills and surpasses every sacrifice, revealing both the seriousness of sin and the greatness of God's grace.This conversation clarifies what redemption actually delivers us from, why the cross is the heart of the gospel, and how Christ's shed blood should shape our worship, our assurance of salvation, and our daily fight against sin.00:00 Welcome to the Sound Words Podcast02:51 Christ's Blood and the Gospel 05:12 Christ's Blood and Justification 09:37 Seriousness of Sin and Greatness of God's Grace14:27 Old Testament Sacrificial System and Jesus' Blood17:43 Doctrine of Redemption22:00 The Christian's ResponseSound Words is a ministry of Indian Hills Community Church, a Bible teaching church in Lincoln, NE.

Sunday Morning Message - "Stewardship"In this message from February 8, Pastor Kyle continues our series Made to Pray exploring the fourth approach to prayer found in Luke 11:2-3, where Jesus teaches us to pray "Give us each day our daily bread." This isn't just about physical provision—it's about declaring our complete dependence on God for everything in our lives. Prayerful stewardship acknowledges that God has given us everything we have, invites His wisdom in managing what we've received, and presents our needs to Him every day. This approach helps us move from kingdom-focused prayer into the personal areas where we desperately need God's provision and guidance.

Why does sexuality feel so confusing, painful, and loaded for so many people today? In Romans 1:24-27, Scripture confronts one of the most difficult and misunderstood topics of our time, not to shame us, but to tell us the truth about what's gone wrong and where real hope is found. In this message, Pastor Kyle walks through this passage, showing that sexual brokenness is not selective, it's universal. The Bible doesn't single out certain people. It exposes a deeper human problem, disordered desires that flow from exchanging the truth about God for a lie. Romans 1 helps us understand how desire, idolatry, and identity are connected, and how the Bible speaks to questions of sexuality, including same-sex attraction, with clarity and hope. Rather than fueling self-righteousness or condemnation, this passage calls us to humility and compassion. It reminds us that every person needs grace, and no one is beyond the reach of the gospel. This message is part of our ongoing series through the book of Romans at Two Cities Church. If you're wrestling with questions about sex, desire, identity, or faith, or walking with someone who is, this teaching is for you.

Sunday Morning Message - "Partnership"In this message from February 1, Pastor Kyle focuses on the third approach to prayer found in the Lord's Prayer: PARTNERSHIP. We learn that our prayers actually play a part in the advancing of God's kingdom here on earth. The kingdom of God is the rule, reign, and authority of God, which is true over all things right now but not yet fully revealed. When Jesus walked the earth, He demonstrated what the kingdom coming looks like—the blind received sight, the lame walked, the oppressed were set free, and the lost were saved. Now, Jesus invites us to pray for that same kingdom reality to break into our world today. This isn't about overcoming God's reluctance but laying hold of His willingness to move powerfully in response to our faithful prayers.

Pastor Kyle, Pastor Nick, and Sarah sit down to discuss what "Love goes first" really means.

We're joined today by Pastor Kyle with a sermon on how fear actually is the starting point in your walk with Christ. Open a Bible to Proverbs and follow along with us!

Why is our world in chaos? The breakdown we see in society is a direct result of a deeper spiritual problem: the depravity of the human mind. In this message from Romans 1:28–2:11, Pastor Kyle shows how total depravity explains the breakdown of a society, and why the problem is not just “out there” in the obviously rebellious, but also “in here” among the religious and moral. Paul says God “gave them up to a debased mind” (Romans 1:28), and from there sin spreads outward, breaking down the self, the family, the economy, and society. Then, in Romans 2, he turns the spotlight on those who judge others while practicing the same things, exposing our self-righteousness and reminding us that God “shows no partiality.” This sermon will help you: - Understand what a debased / depraved mind really is - See how sin infects and affects every part of life - Recognize four forms of self-righteousness (moralism, legalism, elitism, victimism) - Marvel at God's kindness and patience that lead us to repentance - Run not to your own goodness, but to Christ as your only righteousness

This week on Table Talk, Pastors Nick Shepherd and Bobbi Lassiter follow up on Pastor Kyle's sermon series, "More Than a Feeling," by exploring the intersection of faith and love in 1 John 3. They argue that belief and love are inseparable, and that faith is not merely intellectual information but an intimate, lived experience rooted in the recognition of God's abiding love for us.The conversation also highlights the importance of spiritual discernment in navigating the many "voices" that vie for our attention. Using an analogy of students trying to navigate a room while being shouted at by a crowd, they illustrate how difficult it is to hear God's voice amidst the noise of the world. The hosts suggest that hearing and trusting God's voice requires intentional proximity and relationship, much like being able to recognize the voice of a close family member in a lineup of strangers.

In this past Sunday's message, "Radical," Pastor Kyle Doan unpacks what it really means to live a life rooted and grounded in Jesus. Drawing from Ephesians 3, he reminds us that God is calling us back to our roots, to be anchored in His love, and to trust His voice when He speaks.If you're longing to be more grounded, more aware, more secure in His love…this message is for you.

Today, Pastor Kyle starts a mini-series that looks at Lot (Abraham's nephew), his association with the other residents of the city of Sodom, his interaction with his 2 visitors, and how he ended up in the situation he was facing. Given these things, what can we learn that we can apply to our lives today? It's not obvious, but coveting is a part of it. Listen to find out.

Sunday Morning Message - "Worship and Partnership"In this message from Janaury 18, Pastor Kyle focuses on how the Lord's Prayer teaches us to approach God in worship, declaring "hallowed be your name." We learn that prayer and praise are deeply connected, and that worshipping God in our daily prayer time transforms both us and our circumstances. This approach reminds us of who God is, what He has done, and prepares us to partner with Him in seeing His kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.

If our hearts aren't beating for God and His interests, we'll end up running from one dry well to the next, wondering why it never satisfies. GOOD NEWS! When God gives us a new heart it comes with a new HEARTBEAT! Open a Bible to Acts 11 and follow along with Pastor Kyle.

In this past Sunday's message, "Radical," Pastor Kyle Doan unpacks what it really means to live a life rooted and grounded in Jesus. Drawing from Ephesians 3, he reminds us that God isn't calling us to hype or hustle — He's calling us back to our roots, to be anchored in His love, and to trust His voice when He speaks.If you've ever questioned whether God is really speaking… If you're longing to be more grounded, more aware, more secure in His love…this message is for you.

Sunday Morning Message - "Relationship"In this message from January 11, Pastor Kyle explores the profound truth that Jesus teaches us to approach God in prayer by first establishing our relationship with Him as Father. When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to pray, His first word was "Father" - not as a mere formality, but as the foundation for everything that follows. This approach flies in the face of religion and walks us back into relationship with God. Just as Adam and Eve once walked face to face with God in the garden, Jesus is restoring our ability to enter confidently into the presence of our Abba Father through prayer.

Pastor Kyle introduces the 2026 vision for Two Cities Church: Centered on God's Word, Sent into God's world. Grounded in Romans 1:1–6, this message shows how vision begins with God and His Word, centers on the gospel of Jesus Christ, and leads to faith that becomes obedience. Pastor Kyle also unpacks why Romans is a uniquely formative book for the church, and why being “sent” starts with everyday faithfulness—living with purpose in your relationships, your neighborhood, and the nations. This sermon calls the church to be formed before being sent—anchored in Scripture, empowered by grace, and moved to respond through worship, prayer, and mission for the sake of Jesus' name.

Sunday Morning Message - "Place and Promise"In this message from January 4, Pastor Kyle launches a new series, Made to Pray, with a message that sets the foundation for why prayer is not optional—but essential to the life of every believer. Teaching from Luke 11, we'll see the consistent pattern of Jesus intentionally withdrawing to specific places to pray and how that rhythm shaped His life, leadership, and decisions. This message invites us into a new year with a fresh posture toward God—establishing intentional patterns of prayer, coming as students asking, “Lord, teach us to pray,” and trusting the powerful promise that when we ask, seek, and knock, our Heavenly Father responds by giving us His very presence through the Holy Spirit. This message will challenge, encourage, and prepare our hearts for a transformative season of prayer together as a church family.

December 28th, 2025 | Standalone | Acts 6In this powerful and challenging message, Pastor Kyle Riley teaches that forgiveness isn't weakness—it's spiritual strength. Opening with a lighthearted story and moving into the life of Stephen in Acts 6–7, Pastor Kyle shows how a Spirit-filled life is marked by faith without compromise, perseverance without fear, compassion without resentment, and forgiveness without regret.Drawing from Scriptures like 2 Corinthians 12, Ephesians 4, Romans 12, and James 1, this message confronts bitterness as one of the enemy's greatest tools and invites believers to exchange wounded identities for lives shaped by grace. Stephen wasn't a pastor, apostle, or influencer—yet his obedience, courage, and radical forgiveness planted seeds that led to revival and the transformation of Saul into Paul.If you've been carrying pain, struggling with resentment, or wondering how to forgive when it feels impossible, this message will remind you that grace fuels forgiveness, forgiveness ignites faith, and prayer—not revenge—is where revival begins.Do you know JESUS?: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER?: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT through giving: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠⁠

Pastor Kyle walks through Luke 2:1-20, showing how God announces the birth of Jesus in an unexpected way to ordinary, overlooked shepherds in the middle of the night. Set against the power of Caesar and the noise of a busy world, this passage reveals that God's good news doesn't arrive through strength, status, or spectacle, but through humility, grace, and divine initiative. This message invites us to slow down and reconsider what we are beholding this Christmas. In a world marked by fear, distraction, and broken peace, we are reminded that true joy flows from good news, real peace comes from giving God glory, and salvation is found not in what we do but in what Christ has done. The Savior has come not to impress the powerful, but to rescue the lost. Jesus enters our darkness with light, our fear with joy, and our striving with grace, inviting us to behold Him, believe the good news, and live transformed lives marked by worship, peace, and praise. In this message, we see: - How God uses ordinary people and unexpected moments to reveal His greatest work - Why the announcement of Jesus' birth is good news—not good advice - The difference between temporary happiness and lasting joy rooted in the gospel - How beholding Christ shapes who we are becoming - Why Jesus enters the mess of our world rather than avoiding it - How God's upside-down kingdom welcomes outsiders and the forgotten - Why glory to God and peace for humanity are inseparably connected

Pastor Brendon continues Pastor Kyle's series on the purpose of Jesus' birth into humanity. Although today's Scripture reference is usually associated with Easter, Jesus makes a clear statement of why He came into the world. Pastor Brendon looks at this and dives into the ramifications of this reason.

Sunday Morning Message: Family Christmas Service - God With UsThis service is designed for the entire family to worship together and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas.

Pastor Kyle walks through Matthew 1:18-25, looking at the moment the angel appears to Joseph in a dream. In the middle of fear, confusion, and what felt like betrayal, God meets Joseph with reassurance, direction, and a deeper purpose than he could see. This message invites us to consider how God often works through unexpected circumstances—not just for us, but in us and with us—forming our character, shaping our faith, and reminding us that He is near. In this message, we see: - Why suffering and confusion often tempt us to isolate—and why God designed us to walk through them in community - How Joseph chose character over reputation, trusting God even when the cost was personal and public - The angel's words, “Do not fear,” and what they reveal about trusting God with an uncertain future - The meaning behind the two names given to Jesus: Jesus — “The Lord saves,” reminding us we cannot rescue ourselves. Immanuel — “God with us,” pointing to the miracle of the Incarnation - How Joseph's simple, obedient response shows us what surrender looks like when life doesn't go as planned - This sermon reminds us that God is not distant from our pain or confusion. He steps into it—present, purposeful, and faithful to keep His promises.

This past Sunday, Pastor Kyle Doan shared a powerful, faith-stretching message called “Keep It Moving.” Waiting on the Lord doesn't mean standing still—it means serving expectantly and moving forward in faith. Through a wild, God-orchestrated testimony and Scripture, we were reminded that God often guides us one step at a time, not all at once.If you're feeling stuck…If fear or doubt has parked your faith…If you're wondering which way to go next…This message is for you.

As we enter the Christmas season, we see a lot of Nativity scenes/sets and hear a lot about Jesus Christ's birth. Have you ever wondered WHY Jesus was born; what makes His birth so special; or what should it mean to us, today? Listen as Pastor Kyle addresses these issues as he begins a mini-series for Christmas.

What if you were actually blessed and walking in the favor of God right now and you didn't even realize it? Open a Bible to the Book of Luke and follow along with Pastor Kyle.

Pastor Kyle preaches from Luke 1:26–49, examining the first messengers of Christmas and the angel Gabriel's announcement to Mary. This message highlights her fear, doubt, faith, and surrender—and the profound reality that Christmas begins with God coming to us. In this sermon, you'll learn: God is a sending God. Christmas starts with God—He initiates creation, revelation, and salvation. The gospel is about God coming to us because we cannot go to Him. God comes to unexpected places. Jesus enters the world through Nazareth, a small, overlooked town, reminding us that God identifies with the poor, the least, and the last. God speaks to ordinary people. The first recipients of the Christmas message were two teenagers, Mary and Joseph—showing that Christianity is for every generation. Mary becomes the first Christian and a godly model for women. Mary's unique role in redemptive history. As the mother of God, she displays God's humility in becoming a helpless baby. Her virginity underscores the miraculous and divine nature of Christ's birth. God's favor confronts our fear. Mary was “greatly troubled,” but Gabriel's words—“Do not be afraid… you have found favor with God”—reveal that God's grace is the antidote to fear. Faith grows through community and surrender. Mary brings her doubts (“How will this be?”) to God, finds encouragement with Elizabeth, and ultimately responds with surrender: “Let it be to me according to your word.”

This week's message from Pastor Kyle Doan, “Living in the Middle,” dives deeper into what we've been walking through in our Home Churches — learning to live at the beautiful intersection of grace and faith.❤️‍

Have you ever felt the tension between what God has promised and what you currently experience in life? Do you struggle to obey God after receiving a blessing, or wonder how to trust Him when life is painful or hard? In this message, Pastor Kyle unpacks Genesis 21:1-8 and 22:1-14, exploring the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham and the radical test of his faith. Discover the lessons on true faith that continues to trust, obey, and celebrate, even when faced with the most challenging sacrifices. In this sermon, you'll learn: - How God's delays are not denials, and that He fulfills His promises at the time He has spoken. - Why true faith requires continued obedience and celebration, even after receiving what you want. - That God tests us so that we may know what is inside us, helping us grow and develop. - The difference between God's testing (which aims for us to pass) and the devil's temptation (which aims for us to fail). - The importance of immediate obedience, responding to God's call with "Here I am". - The necessity of sacrificing what we love and trusting God with our future, as He ultimately provides the sacrifice. - How the story of Isaac's near-sacrifice foreshadows Jesus Christ's ultimate substitutionary sacrifice. Key Topics Covered: - The 25-year wait between God's promise to Abraham and the birth of Isaac. - Living in the tension between what is seen in God's Word and what is experienced in the world. - The connection between Abraham's sacrifice of his past, present, and future, and the sacrifices God asks of us. - God's motivation methods: the love of God, the rewards of God, and the fear of God. - The significance of the phrase "The Lord will provide" (Jehovah Jireh). - The parallels between Isaac (the son of promise) and Jesus (the ultimate Son of promise). If you're seeking to understand the faithfulness of God in your seasons of waiting, or if you need encouragement to embrace sacrifice and obedience, this message will inspire and challenge you.
