Another entry in our occasional series about the Christian faith--this time it's about who God is. What's he like? What is his character? His nature? His personality? What you think about all this is the unconscious foundation for what you think about everything.

We look at the miracle of Christmas using the analogy of a kidnap and ransom plot.

Jesus wins, and Christmas is when his victorious campaign began. This look at his victory over Satan from the Book of Revelation tells us how it happens. Pastor Tyler preaches from various passages from the Book of Revelation.

After the angel Gabriel tells Mary that she will bear the Son of God who will save God's people from their sins, Mary heads off to visit her cousin Elizabeth. Once her cousin greets her with joy, Mary bursts into song that the historian Luke memorialized for us in his gospel account. This is one of the most beautiful passages in holy scripture. Pastor Tyler preaches from Luke 1:46-55.Gospel: h...

We continue our Advent series by looking at Isaiah's beautiful prophecy of a king who will come to fix this world and to fix ourselves. John the Baptist helps us a bit to understand what this all means for us today. Pastor Tyler preaches from Matthew 3:1-12 and Isaiah 11:1-10.Gospel: https://twowaystolive.com/the Real Story of Jesus video: https://youtu.be/pWM_nAQhGok?si=-byzvR_ZOc0r1vozSermon...

Advent is the season when Christians celebrate God fulfilling his promise to send a Rescuer and Savior to save us. So, Christians have traditionally used the four weeks before Christmas to look at Old Covenant prophesies about Christ's first advent. Today, we see the beautiful prophecy about the shepherd who will come from Bethlehem. Pastor Tyler preaches from Micah 3:1 to 5:4.Gospel: https://...

Jesus wraps up his instructions to his disciples about their mission, and what they can expect as he sends them off to make it happen. These words are for us, too. What does Jesus teach us as our church tries its best to fulfill the Great Commission today? Pastor Tyler preaches from Matthew 10:40 to 11:15.Gospel: https://twowaystolive.com/the Real Story of Jesus video: https://youtu.be/pWM_nAQhGok...

Today, we think about what the topic of "deacons." What do they do? Who are they? What do they have to do with you? Gospel: https://twowaystolive.com/the Real Story of Jesus video: https://youtu.be/pWM_nAQhGok?si=-byzvR_ZOc0r1vozSermons on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3FqmJglYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFt6yGeH8mWvuOSEMOUWkqQWebsite: https://skrbc.org/Facebook: https://bit.ly/...

Jesus tells about what it means to follow him as a disciple.

Today, we begin an occasional series (a sermon about every four to six weeks) about the doctrines of the Christian faith. We start with the concrete revelation that tells us about everything else to come---the bible. How did we get it? How does it work? Do Protestants worship it? Why do Roman Catholic bibles have different books than ours? How does it rank in the hierarchy of religious authorities...

Today we celebrate Reformation Sunday. What is the Protestant Reformation? Why was it necessary? Who even cares? What is the Reformation all about? How has it shaped your experience of Christianity? Pastor Tyler preaches from Romans 3:21 - 5:1.Gospel: https://twowaystolive.com/Sermons on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3FqmJglYouTube: https://bit.ly/3f3PeDAWebsite: https://skrbc.org/Facebook: https://bi...

For the first time, Jesus sends out his disciples into the local area to preach that the kingdom of heaven had come. He gives them warnings. Do these still matter for us today? Pastor Tyler preaches from Matthew 9:36 - 10:23.See the full Gospel of Matthew playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFpbOBuhbjEILprZxvcA0gZdShD4zuPE_Gospel: https://twowaystolive.com/Sermons on Spotify: htt...

Today, Matthew shows a slew of miracles Jesus performs, along with mounting tension between him and the Pharisees. What does Jesus' work in our passage have to do with the bible's big story? Pastor Tyler preaches from Matthew 9:18-35.See the full Gospel of Matthew playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFpbOBuhbjEILprZxvcA0gZdShD4zuPE_Gospel: https://twowaystolive.com/Sermon...

Today, Matthew shows us one controversial miracle, and one tense dinner---and the hostile reactions from some folks at both events. His big point is Jesus' homey analogies of the old clothes and the old wineskins. What does Jesus mean by these? What is he saying to us? How does this help us understand why the new covenant is better than the old? Pastor Tyler preaches from Matthew 9:1-17.Gospel...

Matthew wrote his account of the good news so people would know who Jesus is. So, now that the Sermon on the Mount is over, Matthew spotlights for us Jesus' startling power over even the most powerful forces on earth---nature and demons. What does this tell us about the depth and passion with which we ought to follow Jesus? Pastor Tyler preaches from Matthew 8:18-34.Gospel: https://twowaystoli...

God does more than just save us from Satan. He also renovates our lives in the here and now, and gives us spiritual guidance to solve the everyday problems that come up in our lives. Montie Young has a local biblical counseling ministry and spends her time helping people, couples, and families navigate the issues of life from a biblical and Christian perspective. Our church has supported her for m...

Political assassinations happen because someone is so enraged that he feels he is justified in ending a human life. This betrays a deep and evil sickness in the human soul. Sometimes, even Christians take grim and silent satisfaction---even rejoice---in the deaths of those with whose politics they despise. We see this in the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk. We also see it from the other side...

Sometimes so-called "outsiders" understand much more about real faith than the folks who are supposedly "on the inside." Today, Jesus speaks to two people who show us this very thing. Do you have true, genuine, real faith in Jesus as your Lord and Savior? Pastor Tyler preaches from Matthew 8:1-13Gospel: https://twowaystolive.com/Sermons on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3FqmJglYouTu...

Today we celebrate the 47 years Ralph and Charlene Griffith spent serving our congregation. So, it's appropriate that we think about what it means to be a faithful member of a local church. This is not a criticism or a coded message to anybody who regularly attends here but isn't yet a member! Instead, it's a plea from me to consider what the bible says about the matter. Above all, whe...

Jesus came to rescue us, but we're normally not interested. This is why the biblical writers use the metaphors of "washing" and "cleansing" to explain the supernatural change that happens when we become Christians. This metaphor is pictured most vividly in the testimony of believer's baptism. Pastor Tyler preaches from Galatians 1:3-4.Gospel: https://twowaystolive.com/S...

Jesus challenges people who claim to be believers to prove their faith by their life. Pastor Tyler preaches from Matthew 7:13-28.Gospel: https://twowaystolive.com/Sermons on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3FqmJglYouTube: https://bit.ly/3f3PeDAWebsite: https://skrbc.org/Facebook: https://bit.ly/33o2yQH​​Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skrbc_media/channel/#Matthew6 #LordsPrayer #OurFather #BibleVers...

After explaining the basic way a Christian ought to live to make the Christian counter-culture real (Matthew 6:19-34), Jesus gives us four core rules to help us live the Christian life. Pastor Tyler preaches from Matthew 7:1-12.Gospel: https://twowaystolive.com/Sermons on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3FqmJglYouTube: https://bit.ly/3f3PeDAWebsite: https://skrbc.org/Facebook: https://bit.ly/33o2yQH​​In...

Jobs are important. Family is important. Fun is important. God gives us blessings we enjoy--especially in a prosperous country like America. But, what really is the point of life? How should a Christian answer that question. This morning, as he continues the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus explains. Pastor Tyler preaches from Matthew 6:15-34.Gospel: https://twowaystolive.com/Sermons on Spotify: https:/...

What should our prayer look like, and what should we pray for? Jesus has some answers on this. Pastor Tyler preaches from Matthew 6:9-14.Gospel: https://twowaystolive.com/Sermons on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3FqmJglYouTube: https://bit.ly/3f3PeDAWebsite: https://skrbc.org/Facebook: https://bit.ly/33o2yQH​​Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skrbc_media/channel/#Matthew6 #LordsPrayer #OurFather #B...

The Sermon on the Mount doesn't tell you how to BECOME a Christian. Instead, it tells Christians what it looks like TO BE a Christian. It tells us how to be counter-cultural Jesus people. In this section, Jesus tackles true and false faith. What does honest love for God look like? Pastor Tyler preaches from Matthew 6:1-8.Gospel: https://twowaystolive.com/Sermons on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3F...
