Today we're going to see how the Israelites had an unholy, downward shift. One BIG THING changed for the Israelites along with a few smaller things that led to this “unholy shift.” They had just dominated Jericho and all the Pagan Nations were terrified of them. Yet, in a matter of days, EVERYTHING CHANGED. Open a Bible to the Book of Joshua and follow along with Pastor Kyle.

Sunday Morning Message - "Spirit-Filled Parenting"In this message from November 2, Pastor Kyle explores God's design for the parent-child relationship and how biblical parenting reflects our relationship with Him. We learn that parenting isn't just about raising better kids—it's about displaying Christ to the next generation. Paul's household codes in Ephesians show us that when parents display obedience to God, it disciples their children toward obedience. Our marriages and our walk with Christ become our loudest witness to our children. This passage calls children to obey and honor their parents "in the Lord," while challenging fathers (and all parents) not to provoke their children but to bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.There's something profoundly beautiful about the way God designed families to work. Not just as biological units sharing the same last name, but as spiritual incubators where faith is caught as much as it's taught. The relationships between parents and children aren't merely about keeping order in the home—they're about displaying something far greater: the very nature of God's kingdom.

This message launches a new series on the life of Abraham, where Pastor Kyle highlights Abraham as an example of faith and multiplication. In Genesis 12, we see a contrast between God's promises and human failure, showing that faith is an active response to God's Word, a willingness to go without knowing. Even in Abraham's moments of foolishness and doubt, God's faithfulness and grace shine through, and we see how God uses imperfect people to fulfill His global plan of blessing through one man, Jesus.

How should Christians handle Halloween? This is a question often asked by believers at this time of year. Listen in as Pastor Kyle describes the origins of Halloween and looks at how Christians throughout history dealt with it as well. In addition, is there a way we can use this event to reach others for Christ?

Sunday Morning Message - "Spirit-Filled Marriage"In this message from October 26, Pastor Kyle is in Ephesians 5:21–33, focusing on God's design for marriage and relationships. Marriage is meant to reflect Christ's relationship with the Church—marked by love, respect, and mutual submission. Husbands are called to love their wives sacrificially, just as Christ loved the Church and gave Himself up for her, while wives are called to honor and respect their husbands as unto the Lord. Through this passage, Pastor Kyle challenges us to see marriage not as a contract but as a covenant that displays the gospel, encouraging every couple to model Christ's love and humility in their homes and relationships.

A big and bold Christian faith is more subtle, nuanced, and emotionally intelligent than we would think. Boldness in God's kingdom isn't always loud and showy. Sometimes it looks like stopping, aligning with God, and following His lead. Open a Bible to Joshua 5 and follow along with Pastor Kyle!

Sunday Morning Message - "Walk This Way!"In this message from October 19, Pastor Kyle focuses on Paul's call for believers to imitate God as beloved children. The message emphasized the importance of walking in love and light, making wise choices in our relationships and daily conduct. Pastor Kyle highlights the need for sexual purity, wise speech, and being filled with the Holy Spirit as essential aspects of our Christian walk.

Paul warns that deceiving doctrines will try to pull believers away from Jesus, so the church must cling to the truth, be trained by Scripture, and persist in godliness. Pastor Kyle shows that truth isn't protected by accident. We block lies, saturate our lives with the Word, and put it into practice. As we pursue daily obedience with hope in the living God, our lives become a model for others and a safeguard for the church.

Sunday Morning Message - "Maturity Matters"In this message from October 12, Pastor Kyle's focus is in Ephesians 4:11-32, emphasizing the importance of spiritual maturation and our role in the body of Christ. Every member of our church is a minister with a unique part to play. The message stresses the critical nature of our spiritual growth, not just for our own benefit, but for the health and effectiveness of the entire church body. We are all challenged to move beyond spiritual infancy, to resist drifting, and to actively pursue Christ-likeness in all aspects of our lives.

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.

Sunday Morning Message - "Believe and Experience"In this message from October 5, Pastor Kyle highlights Paul's powerful prayer for the Ephesian church, emphasizing the importance of not just knowing the truths of the gospel intellectually, but experiencing them deeply in our hearts. We explored how Paul prayed for believers to be strengthened by the Holy Spirit, to comprehend the vast love of Christ, and to live in a manner worthy of our calling. This message challenges us to move beyond mere head knowledge to a transformative heart experience of God's love and power in our lives.

In this message, Pastor Kyle teaches through Psalm 1:1-6 and shows how true blessing begins with responding rightly to God's Word. We see that the life God blesses is rooted in His truth, delights in His Word, and bears fruit in every season.

As Americans, we cherish our independence. Unfortunately, this tends to also apply to our attitude towards God. Today, Pastor Kyle highlights the test of Dependence that God puts Abram through. This is part of how God is developing Abram's faith in Him. What can we learn from this? Listen to find out.

Pastor Kyle teaches from Colossians 3:22–4:6, showing how our work and our witness go hand in hand. As Christians, we're called to work wholeheartedly as if serving the Lord, knowing our efforts, whether physical or intellectual, can ease human suffering and promote human flourishing. He challenges us to be intentional about our witness by praying for open doors to share the gospel.

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.

Pastor Kyle teaches from Colossians 3:18-21, sharing how the home should be a place of affection and authority. God desires an environment of love and leadership in the home, so how does that actually play out within the roles of husbands and wives?

Sunday Morning Message - "Saved for Something"In this message from September 14, Pastor Kyle explores Ephesians 2:10-22 to see our transformation from spiritual death to becoming God's masterpiece through Christ.

September 7th, 2025 | Fortify | Ephesians 5:15-17In this urgent and hope-filled message, Pastor Kyle Riley brings a passionate call to parents, leaders, and believers to wake up to the spiritual battle raging for the hearts of the next generation.Drawing from Ephesians 5 and 6, Pastor Kyle unpacks the real problem—not just what's happening in the world, but what's happening in our homes.

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

What does it mean to seek the things above? Pastor Kyle teaches from Colossians 3:1-11, encouraging us to prioritize Christ in our thinking. A relationship with Christ should transform the way we think, act, and live.

We were never meant to walk this journey of faith alone-- fellowship and discipleship are the framework God uses to grow us, stretch our faith, and teach us to hear His voice! Don't miss Pastor Kyle Doan's latest message, "Our Fellowship!"
