Pastor Kyle walks through 1 Kings 18:1-40, challenging us to confront the idols in our lives just as Elijah confronted Baal on Mount Carmel, calling God's people to have wholehearted devotion instead of divided loyalties.

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” -Matthew 5:8This past weekend's message from Pastor Kyle Doan, "Get Clean," was a powerful reminder that purity isn't about perfect behavior—it's about a heart that believes God is with you. Temptation doesn't define you-- the presence of God does! Check it out today!

Sunday Morning Message - "Battling Idolatry: Lessons from the Golden Calf"In this Father's Day message from June 15, Pastor Kyle reflects on Exodus 32, focusing on the episode of the golden calf. He emphasizes the critical role fathers play, likening it to leadership, where rejecting passivity and leading courageously aligns with God's call. Pastor Kyle discusses the Israelites' impatience that led to idolatry, comparing it to modern forms of idolatry that divert worship from God to other aspects of life. He highlights the consequences of idol worship, the importance of prayer in seeking God's mercy, and the necessity of actively dismantling idols in one's life. The narrative showcases Moses' righteous indignation and intercession for the people, contrasting with Aaron's passivity, and ends with a call for repentance and restoration.Key Takeaways:We are all vulnerable to idolatry, especially during slow seasons or times of waiting.Idolatry often leads to further immorality and sin.Prayer is a powerful tool for intercession and experiencing God's mercy.There is an ongoing war for our worship.The only right response to idols is destruction and repentance.Discussion Questions:The sermon states, "WE'RE ALL ONE SLOW SEASON AWAY FROM MAKING A BUNCH OF BAD DECISIONS." Can you relate to this? Share a time when you were tempted to make poor choices during a period of waiting or uncertainty.How would you define idolatry in today's context? What are some common idols people struggle with in our culture?The pastor quotes Tim Keller: "An idol is anything more important to you than God, anything that absorbs your heart and imagination more than God, anything you seek to give you what only God can give." Reflect on this. Are there any areas in your life where something may be competing with God for your devotion?"IDOLATRY ANYWHERE OPENS THE DOOR TO IMMORALITY EVERYWHERE." How have you seen this play out in your own life or in society?How does Moses' intercessory prayer for the Israelites inspire you? In what ways can we cultivate a more passionate prayer life for others?The message emphasizes that "THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AND WILL ALWAYS BE A WAR FOR OUR WORSHIP!" How can we be more intentional about directing our worship towards God in our daily lives?Practical Applications:Take time this week to prayerfully examine your heart for any potential idols. Use the "REPENT/REMOVE/RESTORE" approach mentioned in the sermon to address any issues you identify.Choose one person or situation to intercede for in prayer this week, following Moses' example of passionate intercession.Identify one area of your life where you can be more intentional about worshipping God (e.g., in your work, relationships, or leisure time).For men: Reflect on the call to "REJECT PASSIVITY AND LEAD COURAGEOUSLY." What's one way you can step up and lead with courage in your family, workplace, or community this week?

Pastor Kyle shares from John 15:1-17 that discipleship is demonstrated by a life that bears spiritual fruit, which comes from abiding in Jesus, the true vine, and living in obedience to His commands. True growth as a disciple involves not just knowledge, but transformation that impacts both the individual and others, marked especially by love and visible change. Followers of Jesus are called to pursue a fruitful life that glorifies God and brings lasting significance

Sunday Morning Message - "The Proverbs 31 Woman"In this special Mother's Day message titled, "The Proverbs 31 Woman", from Sunday, May 11, Pastor Kyle shares the key to understanding Proverbs 31 is recognizing that it's not about being perfect in every area at all times. Instead, it's about the entire impact of a woman's life as she walks with God through different seasons. Women don't have to do it all, all the time. Instead, focus on cooperating with God's grace in each season of life, knowing that over time, these efforts will add up to create a beautiful legacy.Digging Deeper into the Message: The Proverbs 31 Woman - A Life of ImpactKey Takeaways:1. The Proverbs 31 woman represents attributes developed over a lifetime, not all at once.2. Women should never underestimate the cumulative impact of their whole life.3. A Proverbs 31 woman is characterized by strong character, diligence, adaptability, family love, God-sized vision, and deserves honor.Discussion Questions:1. Pastor Kyle mentioned that Proverbs 31 describes a woman's life as a whole, not all at once. How does this perspective change your view of the "ideal" woman described in this passage?2. The sermon emphasized the importance of character. How can we cultivate trustworthiness and integrity in our daily lives?3. Discuss the concept of "embracing the season." How can we be fully present and make the most of our current life stage?4. The Proverbs 31 woman is described as having a God-sized vision for her life. What does this mean to you, and how can we develop this kind of perspective?5. How can we better honor and appreciate the women in our lives, not just on Mother's Day but throughout the year?6. Pastor Kyle mentioned that the Proverbs 31 woman "fears the Lord." How does a strong relationship with God impact other areas of life?Practical Applications:1. This week, identify one area of character you'd like to strengthen. Make a plan to work on it daily.2. Write a note of appreciation to a woman who has positively impacted your life. Be specific about how her actions have made a difference.3. Reflect on your current life season. List three ways you can fully embrace and make the most of it.4.

This Sunday we begin a new series called Walking With the Spirit. Pastor Kyle will discuss the Holy Spirit's role in our every day discipleship.

Pastor Kyle leads us through Mark 3 showing how Jesus redefines all human relationships and calls his followers to move beyond casual admiration to committed discipleship in the context of community.

Whether we wrestle with anxiety or mental spirals that hold us back from spiritual growth and healthy relationships, many of us wish we could control our thoughts rather than let them control us. Pastor Kyle Idleman joins me to share from his book, “Every Thought Captive: Calm the Mental Chaos That Keeps You Stuck, Drains Your Hope, and Holds You Back.” Faith Radio podcasts are made possible by your support.

We want to paint a vision for you of what it would look like for you to begin to live a Cross-shaped life. Sadly, the longer we've been Christians, the less we think we need the Cross. The more we begin to live for ourselves and call it “Christianity.” If we don't continually move towards the Cross, we naturally drift towards “self.” Open a Bible and follow along with Pastor Kyle.

Pastor Kyle and Pastor Holly are back as they talk about and give some insight into the most recent Easter Season at CrossView Church.

Jesus calls his first disciples to leave everything and follow him, emphasizing that true discipleship means actively following Jesus and helping others do the same. Pastor Kyle's message challenges the watered-down definition of "Christian," urging believers to embrace their identity as disciples committed to multiplying followers of Jesus.

Each message over the past few Sundays has been different yet carries the same profound message: If it's on God's Heart, it should be on our hearts as well. This week, tune in to Pastor Kyle Doan's powerful teaching, “God's Heart for the World.” We are embracing the mission of God for His global goal – to bring the Gospel to places that have not yet received it or to places where the Truth is not accessible! As a church, we play a tremendous part in this, so let's respond with our lives!

Sunday Morning Message - "The Bible"In this message from Sunday, April 27, Pastor Kyle continues this mini-series called, "Why We Believe", with a message title, "The Bible". We will focus on the six main reasons we can trust the Bible.

All of Christianity hinges on the fact of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Either it happened, or it didn't. There is NO middle ground. Today, Pastor Kyle discusses this issue and presents 4 key evidences for the Resurrection and why they are more than reasonable.

Easter Sunday Morning Message - "Why We Believe in the Resurrection…"In this special message from Easter Sunday, April 20, Pastor Kyle walks us beyond the Easter attire, Easter Eggs and hopefully a killer meal to come. There is a bigger reason for us to celebrate together. The crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ really happened. It's an indisputable historical fact. Let us look together in scripture…

Easter is the ultimate victory story of Jesus defeating sin, death, and fear so that we can walk in freedom and hope. Pastor Kyle preaches on the resurrection story reading through Matthew 28:1-10 and 16-17.

In this powerful Palm Sunday message, Pastor Kyle explores Jesus' triumphal entry and what it means to truly follow Him. Through Matthew 21, discover how to move from being a fan to a true follower by examining your own palms—laying them down in surrender, extending them in service, inspecting His scars, and raising them in worship.

Sinai: Meeting with God on the Mountain". IT TAKES WORK TO BE POSITIONED TO GET A WORD FROM GOD...IF WE'LL KEEP FOLLOWING, GOD WILL KEEP SHOWING HIMSELF FAITHFUL!

Today we are going to take an in-depth look at “The Doctrine of Man.” It's not just important to know who WE think we are, we also need to understand who God says we are. Otherwise, we will spend our lives trying to put a bunch of disjointed pieces together. Open a Bible and follow along with Pastor Kyle.

Pastor Kyle wraps up our NEXT series by challenging believers to rethink what it means to be rich, emphasizing that true wealth is found not in material abundance but in being generous and willing to share. 1 Timothy 6:17-21 teaches that God blesses us not just for our enjoyment, but so we can do good, be rich in good deeds, and lay up eternal treasure.

Last week, Pastor Kyle spoke on the concepts of delight, joy, praise, glory, & worship of God as it is emphasized in the Psalms. Today, Pastor Kyle focuses on the aspect of worship – how we can avoid “vain worship” and enter into authentic worship of Him. Hint: it's all about your heart attitude.

Pastor Kyle leads us through 1 Timothy 6, teaching us the value of looking to Christ, knowing that he is in control, and fighting the good fight.

Sunday Morning Message - "Worship is Right Response!"In this message from March 30, Pastor Kyle continues a series walking through the book of Exodus in Chapter 15 with a message titled, "Worship is Right Response!". Worship is something that we were made to do. It's not a personality type; it's not something you have to work up. Worship is merely rightly responding to who God is, what God has done, is doing, will do.

For this special Student Sunday message, Pastor Kyle highlights how friendships are vital during adolescence for identity, emotional support, and spiritual growth, with Jesus as the ultimate model of true friendship. 

Pastor Kyle leads us through 1 Timothy 5, showing that while the world offers friends, the church offers a family. The passage encourages believers to embrace the church as a family by fostering a culture of care, honor, and responsibility.
