How will people believe in Jesus if no one ever tells them about him? In Romans 10:5-15, Paul shows us God's plan for taking the good news of Jesus to the world: He sends his people, the gospel is shared, people hear, they believe, and they call on Jesus. But billions of people around the world still live without access to the gospel. And for those of us who have heard, it can be easy to assume that reaching them is someone else's responsibility. In this message, Pastor Kyle unpacks why telling others about Jesus matters and what it looks like for every Christian and every local church to take part in God's mission. In this message, you'll discover: - Why we cannot save ourselves through good works or religious activity - What it means to believe in Jesus and confess him as Lord - Why anyone can be saved through faith in Jesus - What the Bible says about people who have never heard about Jesus - Why people need to hear the gospel in order to believe - How God uses ordinary people to bring the gospel to others - What it means to pray, give, go, and send so others can hear Whether across the street or across the world, God has chosen to use his people to carry the good news of Jesus to those who need to hear.

Some sins are easy to recognize. Self-righteousness usually isn't. Romans 9 shows how people who were passionately pursuing righteousness actually missed it because they were relying on what they could do rather than what God had done for them. Pastor Kyle explains how self-righteousness shows up inside and outside the church, why it leads us to comparison instead of worship, and why the gospel calls us to stop defending our goodness and depend completely on Christ.

Does God choose who is saved? Is that fair? And if God is sovereign over salvation, are people still responsible for how they respond to Him? In Romans 9:14-24, Pastor Kyle walks through one of the most debated passages in the Bible, exploring election, God's justice, the hardening of Pharaoh's heart, and the mystery of God's sovereignty. At the center of the passage is a truth that changes the way we think about salvation: "no one is owed God's mercy." If God gave us only what we deserved, none of us would be saved. The surprising thing is not that God doesn't show mercy to everyone, but that He shows mercy to anyone. In this message, you'll discover: - Why God's sovereignty in salvation does not make Him unjust - What the Bible means when it says God hardened Pharaoh's heart - How human responsibility and God's sovereignty fit together - Why mercy cannot be demanded or deserved - What the potter and clay illustration teaches us about God - Why the doctrine of election should produce humility, worship, assurance, and evangelism rather than pride or passivity - How to respond when Scripture leaves us with mystery we cannot completely explain Romans 9 does not answer every question we may have about predestination and election. Instead, it confronts our tendency to put God on trial and invites us to trust that He is both completely sovereign and completely just.

What if the wilderness isn't where God has abandoned you—but where He wants to speak to you, restore you, and put things back into order?In his message “In the Wilderness,” Pastor Kyle Doan challenges us to rethink the dry, difficult, and uncertain seasons of our lives. The wilderness can expose what's in our hearts, but it can also become a place of preparation—a place where we learn obedience, build trust, receive God's Word, and allow Him to transform us.

Sunday Morning Message - "Broken Heart and Bold Prayers"In this message from August 16, Pastor Kyle kicks off a brand-new series through the book of Nehemiah with a powerful message titled “Broken Heart and Bold Prayers.” In Nehemiah 1, we see Nehemiah receive heartbreaking news about the condition of Jerusalem and God's people—the walls were broken down and the people were living in disgrace. His response was not to ignore the problem, but to weep, fast, mourn, and turn to God in prayer. Nehemiah's broken heart led him to bold prayers, confessing sin, remembering God's promises, and asking God to give him favor and an opportunity to make a difference. Come discover how God can use a heart that is broken over what breaks His heart—and a believer who is willing to pray boldly and trust Him to act.

We cannot just have the Paul's theology, we need to have his tears and his burden for the lost. In Romans 9, unbelief isn't approached as a theological problem to solve. Rather, Paul is heartbroken over people he loves who are far from Christ. But their unbelief also raises some difficult questions. Israel had every spiritual advantage, yet many still rejected Jesus. Had God's promises failed? And what does that reveal about how salvation actually works? In Romans 9:1-13, Pastor Kyle explores God's faithfulness, human unbelief, and the sovereignty of God in salvation. In this message, you'll discover: - Why Christians should be brokenhearted over people who don't know Jesus - Why you can be surrounded by spiritual privileges and still not have spiritual life - What it means to be “religiously lost” - Why human unbelief does not mean God's promises have failed - How Romans 9 begins to challenge the way we think about God's sovereignty and salvation - Why difficult truths about God should lead us to humility, worship, and a willingness to let Scripture change us Romans 9 may raise questions we can't answer easily, but Paul shows us how to enter those questions with both conviction and compassion: trusting God's Word while asking him to give us a heart for those who don't yet know Christ.

Every relationship you've ever had has had conditions. People leave. Friendships end. Marriages fail. Families disappoint. We learn from experience that love always has a limit. So, what about God's love? In this message, Pastor Kyle walks through the five questions the Apostle Paul asks in Romans 8:31-39 to show why followers of Jesus can have unshakable confidence in God's love. This message answers these questions: - If God is for us, who can really be against us? - Will God really give us everything we need? - Who can accuse those God has justified? - Who can condemn those Christ has saved? - Can anything separate us from the love of God? Whether you're carrying shame, walking through suffering, or wondering if you've gone too far, this message will remind you that if you belong to Christ, nothing can separate you from the love of God.

Pastor Kyle is doing a short series on spiritual gifts over the next three weeks. This Sunday, he’ll walk through what it means to be spiritual and what is a spiritual gift.

Sunday Morning Message - "Final Charge: Standing Firm in Faith & Strength"In this message from August 2, Pastor Kyle walks through Paul's final charge to the Corinthian church — five commands packed into two verses that serve as a blueprint for Christian living. The charge calls believers to be watchful, stand firm, act with courage and maturity, be strong, and do everything in love. This guide will help your group dig deeper into each of those commands and consider what it looks like to live them out daily.Key Takeaways:Watchfulness is not passive — it requires attentiveness to your own life, doctrine, and the spiritual condition of those around you.Standing firm in the faith is most tested not in comfortable moments but in moments of challenge and controversy.Biblical manhood can be defined and, therefore, pursued. You cannot become what you cannot define.True strength is not self-generated — it is found in the Lord and in the strength of His might (Ephesians 6:10).Every command in this passage is ultimately to be carried out in love. Strength without love becomes harshness. Watchfulness without love becomes judgment.

It's time to wake up-- no more living asleep to the things of God! Let's rise, walk in freedom, and live fully awake in Christ.In his newest teaching, "Awaken,” Pastor Kyle Doan reminds us that Jesus is the Light—and when we step out of darkness and into His presence, He restores what the enemy has tried to steal: our relationships, resources, time, and joy.

Sunday Morning Message - "Spiritual Gifts - Part 3"In this message from July 26, Pastor Kyle continues our 1 Corinthians series in chapter 14 addressing the proper understanding and operation of spiritual gifts—specifically tongues and prophecy—within the gathered church. It clarifies that while the gift of tongues serves as a personal, supernatural prayer language intended to build up the individual believer, genuine prophecy holds greater significance in corporate worship because it actively edifies, encourages, and consoles the broader church body. The message emphasizes that congregations should expect supernatural encounters with God during gatherings, where His active presence can convict unbelievers and transform lives. To prevent confusion and ensure peace, the message highlights the necessity of spiritual authorities to oversee and maintain order in the exercise of these spiritual gifts. We are challenged to earnestly desire and pray for these gifts, utilizing them maturely for the specific purpose of building up the body of Christ.

As we continue with our series on Navigating Life, Pastor Kyle takes a deeper look into how to make wise decisions and how doing so meshes with God's will.

Pastor Kyle HowardPastor Kyle Howard continues our Revelation series by exploring Jesus' message to the church in Laodicea and what it reveals about our own hearts today. What does it mean to be "lukewarm"? Was Jesus simply calling for more passion, or was He pointing to something much deeper? Pastor Kyle examines the historical setting of Laodicea and how a culture of self-sufficiency had slowly led the church away from daily dependence on Christ.

Last week, Pastor Kyle spoke of the aspect of God's will as a “target” to hit. Today he delves into the aspect that is more of a “path” to choose. The key to choosing the right path is Love. How is that so? Join Pastor Kyle as he unpacks this.

This week on Stay True Podcast, Madi sits down with pastor and bestselling author Kyle Idleman! Together, they unpack one of the most important questions every Christian has to answer: Are we following the real Jesus… or the version of Jesus we've created? In a culture that constantly reshapes Jesus into someone who fits our preferences, politics, emotions, and lifestyle, this conversation challenges us to return to the Jesus of Scripture. Madi and Pastor Kyle talk about why so many people want Jesus as Savior but not as Lord, how we've unintentionally turned Christianity into something we consume instead of a life we surrender, and what it actually costs to follow Christ. If you've ever wondered whether your faith has been shaped more by culture than by God's Word, this episode will leave you asking some hard, but life-changing questions. Be sure to stay you and stay true!   Questions we answer in this episode: -Have we created a version of Jesus that looks more like us than Scripture? -Has culture quietly shaped the way you see Jesus? -Are you following Christ, or just consuming Christianity? -How can you tell if your faith is built on God's Word or personal preference? -Why did Jesus talk so much about surrender and sacrifice? -What does it actually cost to follow Jesus?

When it comes to knowing God's will for our lives, some see it as a target to hit, and some see it as a path to choose. Today, Pastor Kyle will discuss the Target principle. Next week, he plans to discuss the Path principle. Both are relevant, but under different circumstances. Listen to find out.

Sunday Morning Message - "Spiritual Gifts - Part 1"In this message from July 12, Pastor Kyle continues our walk through 1 Corinthians exploring chapters 12–14, where Paul reminds us that every believer has been uniquely gifted by God to serve the body of Christ. He teaches that while our gifts may be different, they all work together to strengthen the church, and that love must always be the foundation for everything we do. These chapters also challenge us to pursue worship that is both Spirit-filled and orderly, building up the entire church and pointing people to Christ.

Are you letting God's Word shape your life... or simply inform it?This week, Pastor Kyle Doan reminded us that Scripture doesn't just give us information—it transforms us. It teaches us what we need to know, lovingly convicts us of what needs to stop, corrects what needs to change, and trains us in the way we should go.If you're ready to grow deeper in your faith and allow God's Word to transform your life, don't miss this powerful message.

Sunday Morning Message - "Win! Running the Race and Fighting the Fight"In this message from June 21, Pastor Kyle is in 1 Corinthians chapter 9 drawing focus on how life was intended to have a bigger mission than personal success or earthly accomplishments. Through Paul's example, we discovered that true fulfillment comes when we embrace our part in God's story - living to see others won into the family of God. This radical reorienting of life calls us to view everywhere God has sent us as our mission field: our families, workplaces, and communities. Paul's passion wasn't just for personal comfort but for the sake of the gospel, demonstrating that the good news of Jesus is too important to stop with us.

Pastor Kyle and student intern Alex sit down in the studio to catch up on a few of our past sermons. 

In this sermon, Pastor Kyle challenges believers to measure their lives by a different scoreboard—one of surrender, spiritual growth, and lasting fruit. He reminds us that discipleship is not about activity, attendance, or outward success, but about abiding deeply in Christ, allowing God to shape our hearts, and producing fruit that impacts others for eternity. Even life's hardships can become fertile ground for growth when surrendered to God.

Sunday Morning Worship - "Don't Become a Stumbling Block!"In this message from June 14, Pastor Kyle focuses on the tension between Christian liberty and Christian love, using Paul's teaching about food sacrificed to idols as a framework. While the Corinthian believers were technically correct that idols have no real power, their knowledge was causing them to overlook something far more important—the spiritual wellbeing of fellow believers. This passage calls us to evaluate our decisions not merely by what we have the "right" to do, but by what best serves others and glorifies Christ. The implications for our spiritual life are profound: our maturity isn't measured by how much freedom we can exercise, but by how willingly we lay down our rights out of love for God and others.

Breakthrough isn't random — there are principles that lead to it! In his latest message, “Breakthrough Principles,” Pastor Kyle Doan unpacks what it looks like to position your life for God to move — through obedience, faith, and staying aligned with His Word.If you've been believing for breakthrough, this message will challenge you and help give you direction for what's next.

Christianity and Mormonism often share similar language, but do they teach the same message?

In this sermon, Pastor Kyle teaches that the greatest legacy we can leave is not success, possessions, or opportunities, but a genuine faith in Jesus that is passed to the next generation. He challenges parents, grandparents, and the church to stop outsourcing spiritual responsibility and instead model a real relationship with God in everyday life. As faith is pressed into our own hearts first, we can intentionally invest in the next generation so they know God's faithfulness, walk in His ways, and carry His kingdom further than we ever could.
