Skyline Church Messages Podcast

Deuteronomy 6:4-9. Kids pick up so many things from their parents. Some of those affinities and attitudes are good… and some of them are not so good. But what are YOU passing down to your kids? In today’s message we take a look at a biblical model for parenting to see what is the most important truth we can pass on to our kids and how we can do it. For upcoming events and important announcements a...

Ephesians 5:21-33. What makes a marriage work? We could come up with a million answers as to what contributes to a happy marriage, but nothing is more valuable to a healthy marriage than two individuals committed to fulfilling their God-given roles in marriage. While culture may have hijacked God’s definition and plan for marriage, Christians still have an opportunity to reclaim marriage for God’s...

Genesis 2:20-24. Marriage wasn’t created by culture or simply for convenience. Marriage was created by God and therefore serves a great purpose. But how do we enter into marriage? What are some mindsets that we need to have as we enter into this holy union? In Genesis 2, Matthew 19, and Ephesians 5 we see a simple plan for marriage reiterated in Scripture. In this message, we look at how we can im...

Matthew 7:24-27. Every home has a foundation. More specifically, every house has a physical foundation and every family has a spiritual or philosophical foundation. To the house and to the family, the foundation determines the longevity and stability of everything that is built upon it. An unstable foundation will lead to an unstable house or family. In Matthew 7 Jesus gives us some important word...

Matthew 5:17-19. As time goes on computers tend to accumulate junk. Eventually this junk that has been accumulating impacts the performance of said computer. Would you believe that principle is not unique to computers but also true with our life? If we aren’t purposeful we accumulate thought patterns, habits, and routines that impact how we live out our purpose. The best way to fix a computer is a...

Luke 2:22-38. Waiting for anything you are excited about can be difficult. Just ask any kid and they will give you the exact number of sleeps until Christmas. Why do they know that? Because they can’t wait for Christmas to arrive. For those who were waiting for Jesus first coming, the waiting was difficult. For us today as we wait for Jesus second coming, the wait is difficult. But in Luke 2 we fi...

As we continue our advent series, we come to maybe the most famous part of the Christmas story, the shepherds and the angels. The angel delivers “good news of great joy for all people”.  This morning, we take a look at what that good news means, and why it is for our joy.

People often think of the Bible as a collection of individual stories about good moral people and their relationship with God. However, this thinking is incomplete. As we continue our advent series, we focus on Matthew 1 where we see that all of these stories are connected and ultimately point to Jesus as the fulfillment of the promises of God. For upcoming events and important announcements at Sk...

Luke 1:26-38. A promise is an assurance that a certain thing will occur. We’ve all made promises, broken promises, had promises made to us and had promises broken that were made to us. In Luke 1 we see a promise made to a young girl that is perhaps one of the biggest promises ever made. In this message, we talk about that promise, her response to that promise, and how we can respond to the promise...

1 Peter 1:3-9. What is hope but an expected reality. Hope especially matters when life is not going as you expect. So how can we be hopeful in a world that is full of such turbulence and uncertainty? It is the object of our hope that matters most. In today’s message we look at how we can and should live as hopeful people in a hurting world. For upcoming events and important announcements at Skylin...

It seems like such a simple concept. But so often it seems like we struggle with thankfulness in our lives. And so this week we are focusing specifically on the most important thing for us to be thankful for, the steadfast love of God.

Acts 5:1-11. From time to time everyone faces a temptation for deception. A temptation to deceive people into believing that you are something that you are not. As followers of Christ we should be beacons of honesty and integrity leaving no room for deceiving others in our personal life. In this message we look at the dangers of deception as well as a few healthy practices to help keep us from fal...

Acts 4:32-37. While every person may grow up with a different family experience, it’s commonly understood what family should be. Family should be a group of people who care deeply, share willingly, and love unconditionally. During trials in our life, family should be walking beside us. In today’s message we look at how the early church lived and loved by creating a spiritual family. For upcoming e...

Acts 4:23-31. What is our first response to problems and difficulties? When the early church was pressed and persecuted their initial reaction was to pray together. In this message we see not only that they prayed, but more than that, we see how they prayed. Looking at their formula for praying amidst problems we can learn to pray through our problems too. For upcoming events and important announc...

Acts 4:1-21. How will society view you as you follow Christ? That’s a question we all wrestle with. However, what matters most is the question: Am I faithfully following Christ? In this message we look at an interaction between the followers of Christ and the elite in society to see how we can, like Peter and John, obey God rather than man. For upcoming events and important announcements at Skylin...

Acts 3:1-26. How do we see people who are in need? Whether the need is physical, emotional, educational, financial, or spiritual… do we see them as a hopeless mess or do we hope to see God demonstrate His power through them? In today’s message we look at what it takes to really help others when they are in need and why we should always look for opportunities to do so. For upcoming events and impor...

Acts 2:42–47. If you only had the Bible to learn what the church should look like, would you be surprised by what you saw with the American church today? Most people would probably answer yes. In today’s message we look at five principles that the early church was devoted to, and ask ourselves if we have wandered from those principles. For upcoming events and important announcements at Skyline, vi...

As we continue our study of Acts, we see the first Christian sermon, and we understand the truth, that the primary role and responsibility of the Church is to seek sinners and call them to repentance.

Acts 2:1-13. You’ve been following the Son of God in the flesh for three years and now He has returned to heaven. What do you do if you’re the early church? They did exactly what Jesus instructed them to. They waited for the promise of the Holy Spirit. Surely they didn’t fully understand what that would mean and how that would help, but in Acts 2 we begin to get a glimpse of what a gift the Holy S...

Acts 1:12-26. Where do you start after Jesus tells you to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth? We see the example of the early church was to start with a constant devotion to prayer. In today’s message we ask the question, “why should we be devoted to prayer?”, but also discover what God does in us when we are devoted to prayer. For upcoming events and important announcements at Skyline, visi...

Acts 1:1-11. In Acts we get a picture of a critical 30-40 years in history (starting in AD 33) in which we see the Way of Christ, Christianity, became the largest religion in the world. Any person, organization or business can potentially drift from their original mission if they aren’t careful. The church is no different. We tend to shift from that which was core to the early church and it’s best...

1 Corinthians 1:10. Our world is full of division. Social media has amplified our division. Politics are fueled by it. But in the church, it should not be so. We should not be like the rest of the world, in fact, we should set a better, more united example. One way we can do that is with the words we use. In today’s message Pastor Jeff shares three things to not do with our words if we want to pur...

1 Thessalonians 5:18. The average person complains 30 times a day. We complain about food, traffic, people, slow wifi, bosses, coaches, teachers, homework, overtime, and weather just to name a few. The problem is that complaining isn’t good for us or the people around us. So what do we do? How do we break this horrible habit of complaining? In this message we look to scripture to see that the answ...

Ephesians 4:29. Everyday we have a choice with the words we vocalize: we can build people up or we can tear people down. It almost seems natural to use our words to elevate ourselves above others and that usually happens by putting them down. But have we considered that our words might have a larger impact that just a “feeling in a moment?” In this message we explore how our words can help people...

Colossians 3:9-10. Are you known as a truth teller? It’s so common in our society to hear, partake in, or share lies. We tell them small and we make them big but whether they are big or small, they still aren’t the truth. Does that really matter? In this message we talk about how important it is for the follower of Christ to be known as a teller of truth.  For upcoming events and important announc...
