In part 2 of our series "The Gift", Pastor Kyle highlights the meaning and significance behind the second gift presented to Jesus after his birth: frankincense. Also, we get the answer to the question "What is God's will for my life?". You may find that the answer has been right in front of us all along. "ReGroup" episodes are coming to the RenovateTheCity podcas...

The first Sunday of December brought the opening sermon in our Christmas series "The Gift". We all love giving and receiving gifts during the Christmas season, but there was one gift from God that would change the world forever: His son Jesus. Although we could never repay the Father for this gift, the first message in our series highlights the 3 gifts given to baby Jesus by the Magi soo...

"Most people have a desire to be kept accountable until they have a reason to be kept accountable." This week, Pastor Kyle wrapped up our Relatable series by focusing on the importance of accountability. There is a big difference between judging someone hypocritically and holding someone accountable. As Christ-followers, we should hold each other accountable, but more importantly we have...

Just as all of us have relationships, we all have conflict within those relationships at times. As we experience conflict, we each deal with it differently based on our own unique personality - which can complicate those relationships all the more. In Part 3 of our series, ‘Relatable’, we discuss the cause of all conflict and how we can find solutions to preserve and strengthen our most treasured...

Reality rarely meets our expectations. We tend to have unrealistic expectations of what we expect others to do for us and even what we expect God to do for us. In part two of our series ‘Relatable’, Pastor Kyle talks about the danger of having unrealistic (and unexpressed) expectations of those around us, and how they can put unfair pressure on our relationships. Join us again next week for part 3...

God designed us to live in community with other people, and the people we choose to surround ourselves with matters. It’s not enough to have relationships, we need the right relationships. This week we learned how we can avoid some relationship pitfalls that tend to damage the relationships we have with other people, but also can really impact the relationship we have with God.  To hear more sermo...

 This week we conclude our series with Jesus asking the disciples after thousands of self-proclaimed followers abandoned Him, “Do you also want to leave?”. Even today, many people make declarations of faith in Jesus, but soon abandon it. As we look at Peter’s response to the Lord, we will see a belief that propels us to persevere in a relationship with God. Follow us on Facebook!

We have all experienced “storms” in our lifetime that have made us feel helpless. In part two of our series, “Searching”, we examine a time when the disciples felt helpless against a storm that threatened their lives until Jesus intervened. At times, each of us will experience circumstances that are beyond our control, but we can have peace knowing God is willing and able to see us through it all....

This week, we began our new series called "Searching". Unfortunately, we had some audio issues during the recording of the sermon, so we have a throwback message for you on the podcast. In this throwback episode, we go back to February 9th, 2020, when Pastor Scott Hawkins brought an inspiring message that should help you answer the question "Why should I read the Bible?". No ma...

This week, Pastor Jason Davis concludes our two-week "Essentials" series with an inspiring message about what God wants for us.

We recommend you go back and listen to part one of the Essentials series before listening to this week's message! We pray that after this two-part s...

This week, Renovation Church was blessed to have Pastor Jason Davis from Hope Church KC begin a new series called "Essentials". We begin this two-part series by focusing on John 4 and the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well. We learn about how Jesus is the "living water", and is able to fill a void in our lives that no other person or thing can. What in your life...

In the fourth and final message in our "Toxic" series, Pastor Scott delivers a convicting sermon regarding the toxicity of lying. Not only do we struggle at times with lying to others, but lying to ourselves and lying to God are also very prevalent sins that we should try to avoid.  Pastor Scott touches on common reasons why we lie, and why it's so toxic regardless of the situation....

Thanks for joining us this week, as Pastor Kyle delivers the third of four messages in our "Toxic" series. This sermon touches on the sin of Gossip and how it negatively impacts everyone involved.

Unfortunately, we had some audio issues with week 2 of our Toxic series. But we still have an incredible message in store for you! Like our last Throwback episode, we'll go back to fall of 2019 and our "Holy Spirit" series. In this message (the 4th of the series), Pastor Scott brings the Word and talks about how the Holy Spirit convicts us and conforms us into the image of Christ. T...

Take a listen to Week 1 of a brand new sermon series at Renovation Church called "Toxic". Throughout the series, we'll touch on some unhealthy habits that we all fall victim to at times.

The fourth and final message in our "Easy Like a Sunday Morning" series was a celebration of Renovation Church's 6th anniversary!

We are reminded how challenging the cost of following Jesus is, and how that decision is one we have to make day after day. But that decision leads us to a free...

Part 3 of "Easy Like a Sunday Morning" was delivered in a unique format, with a heavy focus on WORSHIP. The incredible Renovation Worship team set the tone throughout and Pastor Kyle delivered a thought-provoking message on why we worship, what it means to do so, and how we can worship with our hearts in the proper place. One of our favorite quotes from this message: "We don't...

Give a listen to part 2 of our "Easy Like a Sunday Morning" series! This week, Pastor Kyle preaches on "investing" and how important our time, tithes, and offerings are to the kingdom of God. When we give, we aren't investing in a church; we're investing in people . It's just not an investment in others, but an investment in ourselves as well: "When you rece...

Unfortunately, we had some audio issues with our August 9th, 2020 sermon, which was the first in our "Easy Like a Sunday Morning" series. Instead, listen to this "throwback" episode of the first message in our Holy Spirit series from back in September, 2019.  As far as the Holy Trinity goes (Father, Son, & Holy Spirit), the Spirit tends to get the least  attention from many...
