Are we truly following Jesus—or just using His name? In Acts 19, the story of the seven sons of Sceva exposes the danger of trying to access God’s power without a real relationship with Him. Their attempt to name-drop Jesus ends in humiliation and leaves us with a sobering question for today’s church: do we know Jesus, or do we just know about Him? This message challenges cultural Christianity, re...

In Acts 18, we find Paul weary, opposed, and tempted to quit—but God meets him with encouragement and promise. This message speaks to seasons of discouragement, reminding us that God is with us, His grace is sufficient, and His work in us is not finished. When we’ve had enough to quit, God gives us enough to keep going. To learn more or give to our church visit keystonenorth.church

In Acts 17, we see Paul stirred by a city full of idols and compelled to make the known God known. This message challenges us to examine what stirs our spirit, how we engage the culture around us, and how we faithfully proclaim Jesus and the resurrection in everyday spaces. As followers of Christ, we are reminded that God is near, He calls all people to repentance, and He invites us to join Him in...

In a world overflowing with opinions but short on truth, this message challenges us to go deeper than surface-level faith. From Acts 17, we follow Paul’s journey to Thessalonica and Berea and discover why the Bereans were called “noble” for examining the Scriptures daily. Their example confronts a crucial question: do we actually know what we believe—and why? If we don’t define our beliefs, cultur...

Christmas isn’t just about cozy vibes and nostalgia—it’s about real, transforming love. From 1 John 4:7–10, this message reminds us that God doesn’t just show love—He is love. We unpack five lies our culture tells us about love and contrast them with agape love: selfless, sacrificial, and supernatural. You’ll see how love shapes our foundation, our community, our faith, and our forgiveness—and why...

You can’t step into God’s future while dragging yesterday behind you. 🔥From Philippians 3, this message challenges us to stop letting past pain, guilt, shame—or even past success—define us. Paul hadn’t “arrived,” but he refused to replay old chapters while God was calling him forward. Forget what’s behind, fix your eyes on Jesus, and run toward what’s next—by the power of the Holy Spirit, not you...

Listen in as Micah and Estee talk through the process of facing our feelings and how GOD guides our path!

Lamentations 3 takes us into one of Israel’s darkest moments, where Jeremiah is brutally honest about how overwhelmed and empty he feels. But everything shifts in verse 21 when he says, “But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope.” The message reminds us that our feelings are real, but they don’t get to run the show. Instead of stuffing them down or letting them take over, we’re called to...

This week we talked about cravings—not just food cravings, but the ones we all deal with: pleasure, praise, and power. We looked at Jesus in Matthew 4, facing temptation in the wilderness after 40 days of fasting. What’s wild is that Satan hits Him at His weakest moment with the same stuff we wrestle with today: the quick fix, the need to be noticed, and the temptation to take control instead of t...

Join us as Este and Micah discuss balancing a relationship and a religion in Christ!

This week we talked about what real gentleness looks like—not weakness, but strength under control. Galatians 5 reminds us that gentleness is a fruit the Holy Spirit grows in us, not something we force. We looked at Paul’s story: a guy who went from violent persecutor to grace-filled apostle. His life shows that rules and self-help can’t fix what’s broken inside us—only Jesus can. Most of us have...

This week’s message takes a real look at what our faith is actually built on. Using Jesus’ parable of the sower in Luke 8—and a real-life building that literally sank because its foundation was trash—we unpack what it means to have faith that lasts. This isn’t about looking perfect or acting hyper-spiritual. It’s about building rhythms that keep us grounded—Scripture, community, accountability, an...

This week we talked about goodness—not as something we earn, but as the natural overflow of walking closely with God. Looking at Daniel 6, we saw how an 82-year-old man chose faithfulness over compromise, even when it landed him in a lions’ den. What stood out is that his enemies couldn’t find a single flaw in him except his devotion to God. Daniel had what Scripture calls “an excellent spirit”—no...

This week we unpacked the difference between cultural niceness and biblical kindness through the Parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10. Our culture often equates kindness with simply agreeing with or affirming everyone’s feelings and choices—but Scripture paints a deeper picture. True kindness begins with genuine compassion and is willing to tell the truth, make sacrifices, and sometimes even c...

God doesn't need time to change your circumstances—He needs time to change you. In seasons of waiting, don't give up. The trials you face today are preparing you for tomorrow. Trust His timing. Let patience have its full effect. He's still working. To learn more about our church or support our ministry visit keystonenorth.church .

In John 14, Jesus reminds His disciples that real peace isn’t the absence of trouble but the presence of the Holy Spirit. True peace begins with obedience. When we walk in obedience and trust, we make room for the peace that only God can give—peace that flows continually, just as Isaiah 48:18 declares: “Oh that you had paid attention to my commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river...

The Bible describes joy not as a fleeting emotion but as a fruit of the Spirit — something that flows naturally from a life connected to Him. It’s more than a feeling — it’s a steady confidence that God is good, even when life isn’t. Psalm 42 shows us raw emotion, longing, and the deep hunger of a soul crying out for the living God. Have you been letting things steal your joy? Have you filled your...

What is love? In a world that keeps redefining it, Scripture reminds us: “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God” (1 John 4:7). God doesn’t just show love— He is love. The Bible describes Agape love—steadfast, unconditional, and sacrificial. It’s not based on feelings but on a decision to love like Jesus. In John 4, Jesus shows this love at the well, crossing boundaries to meet a w...

Sin is real and costly. In a world that looks a lot like ancient Ephesus, it’s easy to brush off or minimize what God calls sin. But the Bible is clear: “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23). Yet here's the greatest news: “But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead...

Whatever you’re facing today, you are not stuck—you are steady in the hands of God. Paul and Silas show us this truth in Acts 16 when they fixed their eyes not on their circumstances but on their Savior. Worry is the enemy’s tactic, but worship is our weapon. God is faithful and able. Conflict doesn’t always mean you’re off course—He can be refining you and using your trial for His glory. What the...

In Acts 16 we see the gospel moving with unstoppable force. God opens hearts in ways we never could, yet He calls us to bring what we have and boldly proclaim the good news. Acts 16:14 says of Lydia, “The Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul.” Revival happens where God’s power and our obedience meet. What are you most afraid to surrender? That’s the place God wants to wo...

Pastor John walks us through biblical and practical steps to reverse unbelief and step into freedom—revealing and replacing lies with truth, repenting and receiving forgiveness, and revoking the enemy’s footholds. Peace is learned, freedom is possible, and shalom can crush chaos in your life. Let’s learn together how to reverse it! To learn more about our ministry or to give, visit keystonenorth.c...

Listen in as Esteban & Priscilla recap this past Sunday!

The book of Acts shows us that even in the middle of revival, there was no shortage of conflict and opposition. Paul and Barnabas faced sharp disagreement (Acts 15–16), showing us that when passion rises, conflict is never far behind. Conflict isn’t conquered by persuasion but by humility. The gospel is the center we must settle our lives around. Following Jesus means sacrifice, not convenience. J...
