King's Park Sermons

The gospel urges us to honor God by submitting to governing authorities and by loving and respecting our neighbors. Good and evil are not defined by society; they are defined by God. We don’t just obey outwardly, we honor God inwardly. Sermon Discussion Guide: https://kingspark.org/guide/jul0526

Join us as we break down the true meaning of spiritual metamorphosis. Discover what it means to present your life as a "living sacrifice," and learn the three practical ways a transformed mind alters your daily habits: your mission, your commun...

The disciples, viewing God’s kingdom from their earthly perspective, wanted prestige. Jesus answered by instructing them to become like little children, who represent the opposite of what earthly prestige looks like. In order to become like little children in his kingdom, Jesus calls us to live a life of humility, dependence and innocence. Sermon Discussion Guide: https://kingspark.org/guide/jun21...

What happens when God's favor feels exclusive? When we look at the state of our world, it is incredibly easy to fall into the traps of political tribalism, ethnocentrism, and the exhausting mentality of "Us vs. Them." In Romans 11, we look at the identity-level tension between Jew and Gentile believers in the early Roman church, and how it mirrors our modern world. If you have ever f...

Israel had zeal for God but not according to knowledge. Passion for God without correct information about God still leads to separation from God. Proximity to God doesn't necessarily mean proper knowledge of God. Sermon Discussion Guide: https://kingspark.org/guide/jun0726

Have you ever felt completely helpless, powerless, or ineffective when trying to make a real impact in a broken world? It’s a frustrating feeling, like trying to fix a complex piece of furniture with the entirely wrong tool. In this Pentecost Sunday message, Pastor Reggie shines a light on the ultimate "tool" God has handed the Church: the raw power of the Holy Spirit. We uncover why Pen...

Humility is the position that allows us to fully receive and walk in God's grace. Pride is healed by dependence on God; insecurity is healed by identity in Christ. Sermon Discussion Guide: https://kingspark.org/guide/may1726

There are four types of faith that change the world: faith for God to be more active in your life, faith that you will receive what he has promised even when you can’t see it, faith that God will redeem your suffering, and faith that you can have joy even when you are experiencing difficult circumstances.

All authority in heaven and on earth was given to Jesus by the Father. We are authorized to tell and live the truth. The Holy Spirit empowers us to be effective witnesses of his truth through our actions, words, and/or deeds. Sermon Discussion Guide: https://kingspark.org/guide/may0326

There is a massive difference between guilt ("I did something wrong") and shame ("I am something wrong"). Shame makes us hide, dodge, and pull away from God right when we need him most. In part four of "Days After," we join Peter at a charcoal fire on a beach. Just as Peter thought his denial of Jesus had ended his journey, Jesus meets him to provide more than just br...

Fear has a way of paralyzing us, distorting reality, and trapping us in "survival mode." Whether it is the fear of death, the sting of rejection, or the weight of past disappointments, we all have "locked rooms" in our hearts where we hide. In Part 3 of our series "Days After," we see the Risen Jesus walk through those locked doors to speak a definitive word: Peace. I...

When our expectations don't match our reality, we often walk away in confusion. Have you ever said the words, "I had hoped..."? Maybe it was a house that fell through, a relationship that ended, or a career path that hit a dead end. In Part 2 of our "Days After" series, we follow two disciples on the road to Emmaus. We’ll discover why Jesus sometimes conceals His presence,...

The central theme surrounding Easter is Jesus’ resurrection and the hope we have when we place our faith in Him and fix our eyes on Him rather than our circumstances. The life challenges and/or circumstances we encounter are lack of purpose, lack of power, pride and security issues, guilt, fear, confusion, and despair. We do not have to fear or despair because God’s presence is with us. The death,...

Is there a sin in your past that feels too big for God to forgive? Whether you’re struggling with "minor" mistakes or deep-seated shame, the message of Leviticus 16 offers a radical promise: God has made a way to remove the barrier of your sin forever. In the series finale of "Into His Presence," we explore the "Day of Atonement" and the literal heart of the Bible’s m...

Why does God have so many rules about what we eat, what we do with our bodies, and how we treat our neighbors? In Part 4 of our Leviticus series, "Into His Presence," we break down the difference between Ritual and Moral Purity. We discover that God’s standard isn't about keeping us out—it's about protecting the relationship. Learn how animal sacrifices were only a temporary fix,...

Have you ever found a place where you felt so safe and happy that you never wanted to leave? That place exists in the glorious presence of God. But how can a people who fall short enter the presence of a God who is perfectly Holy? In Part three of "Into His Presence," we look at the ordination of Aaron and the tragedy of Nadab and Abihu to see why human priests always fall short. Discove...

Does your faith feel more like a chore than a relationship? In Part Two of our Leviticus series, "Into His Presence," we discover that beyond the sacrifices lies God's true heart: He just wants to spend time with you. Using the 7 Ancient Feasts and the Sabbath, we explore how "Holy Times" are actually "Date Nights" designed to help us honor, appreciate, and deligh...

Does the book of Leviticus feel like a confusing list of rules? You’re not alone. But what if those rules were actually a map to the most important relationship in your life?

Whether you feel like you've "shattered a window" in your relationship...

What do you do when you’ve prayed three times (or 300 times) for the pain to leave, and it’s still there? In the conclusion of our series "The Struggle is Real," we look at the life of the Apostle Paul and his "thorn in the flesh" to discover why God's grace is most powerful when we are at our weakest. If you are tired of pretending to be "okay," this message is your permission to be honest about...

Do you feel fragile? Like a "jar of clay" that’s one hit away from breaking? You’re not alone. In this week's message of our series, "The Struggle is Real," we explore how our suffering doesn't disqualify us—it actually authenticates God's power in our lives. From the streets of Fayetteville in the 1700s to modern-day trials in Durham, learn how God uses our "c...

If you are in a season of pain, loss, or slandered character, you might be wondering if God has abandoned you. Today, we look at 2 Corinthians 1 to discover a powerful truth: Suffering isn't a sign of God's absence; it’s the training ground for His comfort. In this message, we explore why the "Victorious Life" isn't the absence of struggle, but the presence of a God who stren...
