Do you struggle to obey God after receiving a blessing, or wonder how to trust Him when life is painful or hard? In this message, Pastor Kyle unpacks Genesis 21:1-8 and 22:1-14, exploring the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham and the radical test of his faith. Discover the lessons on true faith that continues to trust, obey, and celebrate, even when faced with the most challenging sacrifices. In this sermon, you'll learn: - How God's delays are not denials, and that He fulfills His promises at the time He has spoken. - Why true faith requires continued obedience and celebration, even after receiving what you want. - That God tests us so that we may know what is inside us, helping us grow and develop. - The difference between God's testing (which aims for us to pass) and the devil's temptation (which aims for us to fail). - The importance of immediate obedience, responding to God's call with "Here I a

Have you ever felt stuck waiting for God's promises, wrestling with doubt, or wanting answers in a season of silence? In this message, Pastor Kyle unpacks Genesis 17, exploring the covenant God establishes with Abraham, including the unexpected command of circumcision. The message highlights the theme of faith that is tested, marked, and leads to worship and change. In this sermon, you'll learn: - How faith starts with God revealing Himself ("I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be blameless") before calling us to action. - The difference between "walking with God" (fellowship) and being called to "walk before me" (knowing God is watching). - That God desires progress, not perfection, which is captured in the word "blameless" meaning "single-hearted" and wholly devoted to the Lord. - The importance of thinking generationally, as God promises Abraham lineage and a legacy of nations, contrasting with modern short-term, instant thinking. - That faith changes you, as seen in the name change from Abram to Abrah

What do you do when God seems silent, when His promises feel distant, or when waiting turns into wanting? In this message from Genesis 15-16, discover how Abraham’s story shows us what it means to wrestle with God in seasons of fear, doubt, and delay, and how faith grows deepest in the tension between what we hope for and what we see. In this sermon, you’ll learn: How to fight fear by focusing on God’s character instead of your circumstances Why honest doubt can lead to deeper faith when brought to God What it really means to believe God’s promises when they seem impossible How to trust God in the tension between His power and His timing

This message from Genesis 13-14 explores how Abraham models faith through wise choices, generosity, and dependence on God rather than what he can see in front of him, while Lot’s self-centered decisions lead to spiritual compromise and captivity. Through Abraham’s example, we learn that faith involves trusting God’s promises, pursuing peace, taking the “lesser land,” and living with integrity in every circumstance.

This message launches a new series on the life of Abraham, where Pastor Kyle highlights Abraham as an example of faith and multiplication. In Genesis 12, we see a contrast between God’s promises and human failure, showing that faith is an active response to God’s Word, a willingness to go without knowing. Even in Abraham’s moments of foolishness and doubt, God’s faithfulness and grace shine through, and we see how God uses imperfect people to fulfill His global plan of blessing through one man, Jesus.

What if God's blessing was never meant to stop with you? Psalm 67 reminds us that every good gift from God comes with a purpose: that His way would be known on earth and His saving power among all nations.

Pastor Kyle teaches from Psalm 51, showing that repentance is a hopeful word, not about behavior modification but about heart transformation initiated by the Holy Spirit. He reminds us that all sin is ultimately against God and that true cleansing and restoration are found in Christ alone.

Pastor Kyle teaches from Colossians 3:22–4:6, showing how our work and our witness go hand in hand. As Christians, we’re called to work wholeheartedly as if serving the Lord, knowing our efforts, whether physical or intellectual, can ease human suffering and promote human flourishing. He challenges us to be intentional about our witness by praying for open doors to share the gospel.

Pastor Kyle teaches from Colossians 3:18-21, sharing how the home should be a place of affection and authority. God desires an environment of love and leadership in the home, so how does that actually play out within the roles of husbands and wives?

Pastor Kyle teaches from Ephesians 5:1-18, sharing how Christ calls people to wake up from spiritual apathy and darkness, to live fully awake in His light by imitating God, walking in love, pursuing holiness, and making the most of the time for His glory.

Pastor Clayton King reminded us that being a Christian isn't about good works, family background, or church attendance, but about confessing with your mouth, believing with your heart, and asking Jesus to save you.

Pastor Dave Stone painted a powerful picture of what heaven is like: a place that feels like a home, far better than we can imagine, and where we will see Jesus face to face. He reminded us that Jesus extends an open invitation: to come to Him in repentance, receive His forgiveness, and experience the ultimate reward that is eternal relationship with Him. And he challenged us to carry that very invitation to others, so they too might know the hope and life only Jesus offers. . . . The Heights Conference 2025

Pastor Jon Tyson opens our Heights Conference by preaching on what it looks like when God brings revival to a city.

True maturity is being rooted in Him, built up in faith, and living as spiritual adults who walk in obedience, service, and gratitude.

Pastor Kyle walks through Colossians 1:24–2:5, showing how Paul rejoiced in his suffering for the sake of the gospel. He encourages believers to do the same, knowing that suffering produces hope, deepens our relationship with God, strengthens our faith, and will be rewarded in heaven.

Mark Clark teaches from Matthew 16:13–19, emphasizing the difference between merely believing in Jesus and truly treasuring Him above all else. He reminds us that God doesn’t use us because of who we are, but in spite of who we are.
