Sunday Morning Message - "Open the Heavens: Positioned for God's Presence"In this message from August 17, Pastor Kyle begins at the powerful moment of Jesus' baptism in Luke 3:21-22, explaining how it symbolizes our call to obedience and an intimate relationship with God. 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.

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

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.
