Pastor Kyle teaches from Psalm 51, showing that repentance is a hopeful word, not about behavior modification but about heart transformation initiated by the Holy Spirit. He reminds us that all sin is ultimately against God and that true cleansing and restoration are found in Christ alone.

In today's discussion on Abram's journey of faith, we see that God makes a covenant with Abram. Whereas covenants at that time required both parties to agree to something (thereby binding both to the terms of the covenant), God does something different. He unilaterally makes the covenant and takes it upon Himself to pay the price if Abram doesn't fulfill his part. At first this may sound confusing, but listen in as Pastor Kyle explains how this all plays out and what it means for us today.

Pastor Kyle teaches from Colossians 3:22–4:6, showing how our work and our witness go hand in hand.

We make decisions to do things all the time. Some of them conscious and some unconscious. Some of them have good results and some of them yield “not-so-good” results. Making good decisions is a learned process and often hinges on our priorities at that time. Today, Pastor Kyle explores some decisions Abram and his nephew, Lot, have made and the results thereof. One key thought from this is: “Will the decision I'm about to make enhance my relationship with God?” This is a question that Christians should consider in their decision making. Do you?

We can get really good at making our Christianity look genuine when we're actually just faking it. When it comes to faith, a knockoff is dangerous. Open a Bible to Galatians 6:11-18 and follow along with Pastor Kyle.

Sunday Morning Message - "But God..."In this message from September 7, Pastor Kyle continues our Ephesians series with a message titled, "But God..." Two simple words that change everything. We were dead in our sins, following the world, the devil, and our own desires. BUT GOD, rich in mercy and overflowing with love, made us alive in Christ!Remember...we can't earn salvation - it's a gift of God's grace. Our biggest life change is moving from spiritually dead to alive in Christ. We're more flawed than we dare believe, yet more loved than we ever hoped - "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God." - Ephesians 2:8

A church's vision is often based upon what it values. What do we value as a church? What do we long for? Or what do we want to be like? Hear what Pastor Kyle has to say about the “what” and “why” Grace Point Church's vision.

Emphasizing the importance of baptism as a significant step in our spiritual journey, he draws parallels between this sacred act and the historical movements of God, such as Israel's exodus through the Red Sea and the early church's rapid growth. He highlights the necessity of prayer as modeled by Jesus, illustrating how prayer cultivates a relationship with God and invites His presence into our lives. By examining Jesus' prayerful life and the open heavens experienced at His baptism, the sermon encourages believers to seek the empowering work of the Holy Spirit, positioning themselves for divine encounters and revival.

Sunday Morning Message - "Belong to His Family: Finding Your Place in God's House"In this message from August 10, Pastor Kyle talks about the importance of being an active part of our church community focusing on our church's vision of "Helping People Find Hope" and our mission to Know His Presence, Belong to His Family, and Live Your Purpose.

The key focus of the message is the significance of joining small groups to foster a sense of family within our larger church body.

It is often good to plan ahead, but we must realize that there are things that are beyond our control, or planning. When things go wrong (not the way we hoped) how do we respond? Our human tendency is to worry/fret. However, when we have a God saturated view of life, we can know that He cares for us, even when He allows trials into our lives. Listen as Pastor Kyle digs into this topic and how we can apply it to our lives.

In this sermon, Don't Be Fooled Again, Paul's heartfelt plea in Galatians 4:8–22 calls believers to guard against trading the freedom found in Christ for the slavery of man-made religion. Drawing from the cosmic backdrop of Scripture—from Babel to the cross—Pastor Kyle shows how false teaching often comes cloaked in religious respectability, yet leads away from grace. Like a spiritual father, Paul warns, weeps, and labors until “Christ is formed” in his hearers.

Pastor Kyle teaches on Colossians 1, sharing that Jesus Christ is supreme over all creation and the church. In this passage, Paul urges believers to recognize Jesus not as a side figure but as the main character of history, worthy of first place in every area of life. This truth reshapes how we see our purpose, our worship, and our mission. Christ is not just the means of our salvation, but he is the reason and goal of it all.
