The grave and devastating consequences an iceberg poses to a passing ship is not what is visible to the ship’s crew but rather what lurks beneath the surface. Often below the ocean’s surface an immovable and destructive mountain of ice threatens to destroy the unsuspecting vessel. Likewise, underneath the surface of today’s orchestrated cultural chaos is a poisonous and demonic agenda that threate...

The price of our freedom as Americans was great—the costs were devastating. Today, those freedoms are being fiercely attacked and the liberty we have enjoyed seems frail. The attack on freedom extends beyond the earthly realm and today there is a target placed on the liberty we have in Christ that comes only through faith in Christ. False teachers have spread heretical doctrine that seeks to under...

As we continue the series from 1 Peter and further explore what it looks like to live and serve in a world to which we don’t belong, this text calls us to consider not only our actions but the way we think. Our culture in inundated by a worldview that, though at times seems compassionate and sensible, is at its core in opposition to biblical truth. Pastor Kevin shares part one of this three-part s...

One of the great leaders of the first Great Awakening, the great revival that swept across our nation, Jonathan Edwards once said, “Prayer doesn’t bring the awakening; prayer is the awakening.“ Today our nation is in need of a second great awakening. We have an enemy that is seeking to destroy our culture, our young people, and nation! We don’t need a bystander just minding their own business. We...

The renowned and recently passed apologist Ravi Zacharias said this, "In an attempt to be reasonable, man has become irrational. In an attempt to deify himself, he has defaced himself. In an attempt to be free, he has made himself a slave. And like Alexander the Great, he has conquered the world around him but has not yet conquered himself." Irrationality sadly describes much of the societal wisdo...

Pastor Kevin continues the series from 1 Peter this weekend with a message titled, "The Critical Engagements of the Exile’s Journey." In just two verses, Peter lays out what is to be the pattern of Christian living as exiles in a world to which we do not belong. Living with a keen awareness of the eternal battle for the soul of humanity and and an unwavering commitment to the glory of God are the...

In weeks one and two of “Exiles – A Letter to the Lost Who Have Been Found,” Apostle Peter established the Christian’s nature as an exile, and set the stage for the challenging topics that he will address in the latter part of the chapter. This week, Pastor Josh will uncover the climate, the cravings, and the clarity of an exile, and will share that how we live and what we pursue truly matter...

In part two of Pastor Kevin's series, "Exiles - A Letter To The Lost Who Have Been Found," Pastor Kevin will further look at the life of an exile and discuss the need for true Christ followers, committed to the pursuit of theIr eternal inheritance, to have what 20th century Scottish preacher Murdo Ewen Macdonald called "adequate internal resources." These include an appropriate spiritual posture,...

In this first message of this new series, Pastor Kevin will explain the context of Peter’s letter sent to believers who were seeking to learn how to live in a land that was not their home. Today we find ourselves navigating the same issue-Heaven is our home and we are pilgrims and exiles in this world.

Pastor Kevin will tag-team with Pastor Josh and Pastor Kyle in sharing a timely message from Deuteronomy 6 about what makes a truly blessed family, the priorities of that blessed family, and what lessons we can take away from this season of shutdown that will make for stronger and more blessed families.

In the final week of his three-part series, "When We All Pull Together," Pastor Kevin will explain the biblical notion of fellowship (koinonia in the Greek) and discuss how necessary it is in the life of the church. Koinonia is far more than a Sunday potluck dinner or a dessert afterglow. It has to do with shared responsibility and our role in cheering each other on to finish the spiritual race. T...

In week one of the three-part series, "When We All Pull Together," we learned the importance of shared responsibility and encouraging one another to “hold on without wavering” and endure, even through the most difficult of days. In part two, Pastor Kevin will unpack the beauty of the position we are privileged to enjoy as worshipers in God’s presence, and reminds us of how even in this honored con...

Much is said about believers bearing their cross but in reality the bearing of crosses is a responsibility of the Body of Christ collectively as well. Paul said to the Galatians, we are to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2). In part one of Pastor Kevin’s new three-part series "When We All Pull Together", he will address the encouragement of the writer of Hebrews to his readers to hold on w...

The resurrection of Christ was the quintessential victory and a devastating blow to the kingdom of Satan and his design to destroy humanity. If death is the final enemy to be defeated then all other enemies are trampled by Christ’s resurrection. 

Nothing could be so devastating as watching the One in Whom you had placed all of your trust and upon Whom your hopes and future rested, be brutally tortured and executed right before your eyes. That was precisely the experience for the disciples of Jesus and others who had encountered and followed the Lord when He was crucified. Their hopes were devastatingly shattered. They had no idea that the...

Disappointment and shattered expectations are the reality for many today and often that reality can lead to a sense of disillusionment and bitterness. The expectations of many Jewish nationalists were shattered when they realized Jesus had not come to set them free from Rome’s tyranny but rather the greater evil—sin. Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem on a mule was the beginning of those shattered expect...

One of the most destructive forces challenging the effectiveness of the church is the ungodly tendency of God’s people to judge and criticize one another. In the final message of his three-part series, "First Things First," Pastor Kevin will bring clarity to the words and parable of Jesus about the inappropriateness and impracticality of trying to remove a speck from the eye of another while totin...

As we find ourselves living in challenging and somewhat uncertain times, the words of Jesus have never been so important. In tomorrow’s message, "First Things First-Kingdom First" from Matthew 6, Pastor Kevin will unpack the call of Jesus to set aside worry and instead pursue kingdom values wherein we find the comfort and assurance of our Heavenly Father.
