In the sermon, Pastor Kenny begins by discussing the recent assassination of conservative political activist and apologist Charlie Kirk. Kenny also briefly mentions a few other recent tragic events in American society. When we think about these tragic horrific events, we often wonder, “What is it that God wants to do? How are we to respond?” When hardship hits and senseless tragedies o...

  Introduction: Summer in the Psalms We have come to the beginning of our journey in the book of Psalms. We will probably be in and out of Psalms for the next several summers. The Psalms are unique in scripture, and when I first became a Christian, I didn’t understand the Psalms. I didn’t have a category for them. I remember being in high school in 1998, and there was a song that...

  Introduction: We Have All We Need We have come now to the end of the book of Hebrews. There’s a particular sentiment on display in the last few verses in the benediction. It reminds me of something. Have you ever been working on a task and in the middle of it you realize you don’t have everything you need for the task? Like you’re working on some home project and you decid...

  Introduction: Why Trust the Bible? It is a delight to be with you this morning. I am always delighted to be with the Lord’s people on the Lord’s day. I am here with most of my family, my wife, Bridget, and our seven youngest children are with me. We bring you greetings from Grace Baptist Church in Cape Coral, Florida, where we have recently relocated and become members. We spent...

https://youtu.be/iOS6kby7rP4?si=Hz00yhGJMvgSEy2Q   Introduction: Importance of Doctrine We’ve come to a section in the Book of Hebrews where the writer is primarily focusing on application. In the New Testament letters, the writer will typically start with significant doctrine. Up front, there’s doctrine and theology. Then, after they’ve given us a doctrine of theology, they...

Introduction: Overview of Hebrews 11 Those who are regularly with us know we’ve been traveling through the Book of Hebrews over the last several months. Just a few more Sundays and then we’ll be in the Psalms for the summer. We are excited for the summer. My wife is pregnant, and we’re expecting our third child in July. Very excited about that. I’ve lined up a few guest pre...

https://youtu.be/wspauPqXrVY Introduction: 4 Minute Mile Well, last week I unintentionally lied to you. It was unintentional, I promise it was. As you were here, I told you we were going to just do two sermons from Hebrews 11. But as I was preparing and studying this week, I just thought to myself, we have got to have a third. There’s too much here. So, next week, Lord willing, we’ll b...

https://youtu.be/S0KGQNv00CA?si=uhGnvIiI-gugE9s2   Introduction: Hebrews, Augustine, and The City My name is Kenny. I have the privilege of serving as pastor at Horizon City. Those of you who’ve been with us for a while, you know we’ve been traveling through the book of Hebrews, which is structurally a transcribed sermon. In essence, the writer preached a sermon at some point, tra...

https://youtu.be/zrskQkvlSXI?si=n9flo9-ph5kUfzxc Introduction: Higher Expectations It is a very unpleasant experience to be called into the teacher’s office after you hand in an assignment that you know wasn’t your best work. The teacher sits you down and looks at you, and says, This work isn’t like you. This isn’t the normal quality you usually submit. You normally do work...

https://youtu.be/mx-NMpAcFoA?si=BWkyMztF3NeUC4CM   Introduction: Expository Preaching This morning, we have come to the middle section of Hebrews chapter 10. Similar to what we saw last week in Hebrews 9 is jam-packed with all sorts of doctrinal lessons and implications. Lots of theology is being taught. Like I said last week, Hebrews chapter 9 and into chapter 10, this section of Scripture i...

Introduction: The Old Covenant vs. The New Covenant Well, good morning again. We have come to Hebrews Chapter nine, which is one of the most theologically dense passages in the entire Bible. Some scholars would say it’s the most theologically dense. The amount of theology and doctrine on display, being asserted, being taught, and being defended is frankly mind-boggling. There are hundreds of...

Introduction: Florida Man Well, many of you in the room know me. If you do not, my name is Kenny, and I have the privilege of serving as pastor here at Horizon City Church. It’s our first Easter Sunday. We’ve existed now for approximately six months. God’s kindness. So, thank you for worshiping with us this morning. My wife and I moved from Minnesota to Orlando in the summer of 2...
