Skyline Church Messages Podcast

2 Peter 1: 5-8. When we think of the word love, what comes to mind? Marriage? Love of things? Jesus' love? In this episode, we wrap up our series Supplementing Your Faith by examining a type of love the Greek called "Agape". This love is one that is benevolent and keeps us focused on others first and ourselves second. This is a crucial type of love to demonstrate when talking to the...

2 Peter 1:5-8. What does it mean to demonstrate brotherly affection in your daily life? How can you live a life like Christ when it comes to your brother’s and sisters in the world. In today’s message we talk through some examples that Peter gives on what brotherly affection is and isn’t to help us understand how we can show more brotherly affection. For upcoming events and important announcements...

2 Peter 1:3-8. Romans 8:3-4. Can I be a good person and not be “godly?” Is morality and godliness the same thing? God desires more than good behavior, He wants a heart that seeks Him. The biggest difference between morality and godliness is the “why” behind it. It’s great to know that even though being “godly” seems difficult, God has made it possible for us to live godly lives when He is in His p...

2 Peter 1:5-8. 1 Corinthians 15:56-58. What good is faith if it doesn’t last until the end? In Scripture it’s pretty clear that if it doesn’t last, it doesn’t count. Trials, temptations, and even trophies will attempt to distract you from standing firm in Christ until the end. As followers of Christ we must stay focussed so that we aren’t swayed from our purpose. In today’s message we talk about t...

2 Peter 1:5-8. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27. God’s Word says that He has given us a “spirit of power and love and self-control.” It’s easy to read that but it’s a lot harder to live it out. The ability to control our impulses and desires is easier said than done. We live in a world in which many people have given up pursuing self-control. In today’s message we answer important questions about why self-co...

2 Peter 1:5-8. Colossians 1:9-10. When it comes to our relationship with God, knowledge is more than just a good GPA or esteemed degree. Knowledge is knowing spiritual truths in a way that you not only understand them, but know how to apply them to your life. In today’s message we dive into how we can understand spiritual truths and how understanding those truths will impact the way that you live....

2 Peter 1:5-8. Acts 4. To ensure that our faith is effective and fruitful it takes intentionality. As followers of Christ we must supplement our faith with other Godly qualities. Growing our faith doesn’t always come easy and oftentimes it’s difficult and takes our maximum effort to persevere. In today’s message we talk about what it means and why it matters to supplement our faith with virtue. Fo...

2 Peter 1. Will my faith stand firm until the end? If we aren’t intentional about strengthening our faith, it probably won’t. In our morally corrupt world we must take the time to grow our faith if we expect it to survive. In this message we look at what Peter says about why we should supplement our faith but also what benefits we will see if we do. For upcoming events and important announcements...

Romans 10:9-15.  What is the first thing you do when you get good news?  You tell somebody about it!  People who have received good news have a hard time keeping it to themselves.  This morning we are talking about the best news that anyone has ever received, That Jesus with his death on the cross has paid the debt of our sin and made us right with God.  And just like anyone else who gets good new...

Daniel 6. Perhaps the most popular story in the book of Daniel is the story of the Lion’s Den. It’s a story that reveals to us the type of character and faith that Daniel possesses. The term “lion’s den” is often used to describe a situation in which you are faced with antagonism or hostility. In many ways, that’s the world we live in. In this message we look at what type of faith we should have s...

Daniel 5. The scene in this chapter is one you can imagine watching on a movie screen. It’s a big moment in which the prideful king sees the writing on the wall… quite literally. The writing on the wall signifies that his downfall is approaching. But why? What can we learn from the mistakes of this prideful king? What can we take from this incredible story to help us glorify God with our lives? Th...

Daniel 4. Who rules? It’s so easy for us to convince ourselves that we are the kings of our own kingdoms. We falsely believe that everything rises and falls with us. Whether our circumstances rise or fall, it’s our pride that fools us into thinking that we rule over all circumstances. While it’s good to learn from our own mistakes, it’s better to learn from the mistakes of others. In today’s messa...

Daniel 3. We may not have 90 feet tall statues that we are commanded to bow down to but we live in a land of idols that we must worship or face consequences. How can the follower of Christ be faithful to God when facing threats and consequences from society? Our faithfulness is dependent on our belief in God’s power and our trust in His promises. In this message we discuss how we can be bold and u...

Daniel 2. What do you do when you are faced with problems? The way we respond to the problems we face are an opportunity to stand out from the crowd who chose to respond in panic. In fact, sometimes we will find that there is great purpose in those problems. In this message we learn from Daniel the proper way to respond to the problems we face and honor God as we do. For upcoming events and import...

Daniel 1. The morals of society seem to be deteriorating at record speed. Things that were once viewed as shameful, are now celebrated. Sins thought to be unimaginable are now commonly embraced in our world. A Bible-believing Christian used to be respected for their “heartfelt beliefs” and are now condemned for “hateful opinions.” In today’s message we explore the question: will we do what is soci...

Luke 24:1-8. Life is full of questions. At every stage of life we have what we feel are extremely important questions to be answered. The older we get, the more difficult the questions seem to get. There is one question that supercedes the rest: Do I believe in the resurrection of Jesus? The answer to this question changes everything. In today’s Easter message we will look at some biblical and ext...

Hebrews 11:32-38. We read many stories throughout Scripture about the faithfulness that leads to success. But what happens when faithfulness doesn’t lead to success? Were we not faithful? Did God not come through? Being faithful to God has two faces. Sometimes it leads to doing great things, however, sometimes it leads to suffering great things. In this message we look at both sides of faithfulnes...

Hebrews 11:32 & Judges 6-7. Faith isn’t faith if you got it all figured out. What about trusting God when you are uncertain? It takes faith. What about trusting God to do the unexplainable? It takes faith. That’s what makes faith, faith. When you trust God even when you don’t fully understand. In this message we look at the story of Gideon to see how each little step of faith led to a big vict...

Hebrews 11:29-30. It's one thing to have faith in our lives, but putting action behind it unlocks a whole new level!! Join us as our Youth Leader Andy walks through Hebrews, Exodus 14 and Joshua 6 to help us understand the ways in which we can put our faith into action on a daily basis. For upcoming events and important announcements at Skyline, visit our Facebook page for the latest details!...

Hebrews 11:8-19. Faith is like a muscle; it grows when you use it. That seems simple, but using faith is often not easy. Faith isn’t easy when it takes us into the unknown but it’s in the unknown that we see God make Himself known. It’s when we make a decision to trust God when He leads us into the unknown or when He leads us to do the unimaginable that our faith muscle grows as we witness His fai...

Hebrews 11:7. When does faith become hard? When it is put to the test. When we are going through something we’ve never experienced before, it can be difficult to keep the faith. When we are doing something we’ve never done before, it can be hard to stand firm in our faith. However, it’s in these unprecedented times that we find out how much faith we really have. In this message we look at the exam...

Hebrews 11 & Matthew 17:14-20. Faith is to have complete trust in something or someone. We have faith that the chair will hold us when we sit down. We have faith that the car will stop when we push the brakes. We can say we believe in the chair or in our brakes, but until we sit down or try to stop we aren’t exercising our faith. We will take a deep dive into faith throughout this message seri...

Deuteronomy 6:4-9. So much has come and gone over the past 2,000 years. So many things have changed during that time. How is it that the church has managed to stay relevant and grow throughout the generations? It doesn’t happen on accident. It only happens when followers of Jesus stay future focused. In this message we talk about how we can be intentional about investing the most important news (g...

Luke 10:30-37. As followers of Jesus we follow the example of Jesus. In Mark 10 Jesus is pretty clear that if you want to be great, you must be a servant. He continues to say that even He came to be a servant, not to be served. Therein lies that mindset for the follower of Christ. We must be servant minded. In today’s message we will look at questions that help us understand who we should serve, w...

Titus 2:1-8. A disciple is a learner or student of someone. To be a church that makes a lasting impact, we must be driven to make disciples of Jesus. We need to be a people who spend time with Him, learn from Him, and live for Him. In today's message we look at one way that we can make that happen in our church so that we become difference makers for God in our world. For upcoming events and...
