The Prodigal God: The People Around Jesus – Sermon I of VI

September 24, 2023

Hello Kingdom Family,

Welcome to our Jesus-centered community. We are glad you are listening to today’s message.

“We are People Helping People Experience a Jesus-centered Life.”

Today, we start a new message series, “The Prodigal God: Recovering the Heart of the Christian Faith.” Our message is titled “The People Around Jesus.” This sermon is I of VI and sets the stage for the rest of the series. We unpack Luke 15:1-10 (NIV) and decipher two of the three parables in this section of scripture. The Parable of the Lost Sheep and The Parable of the Lost Coin. This message should shock and move every person engaging in the scripture and teaching.

How to Live and How to Die

September 10, 2023

Today’s message is titled “How to Live and How to Die.” Today, Pastor Harold unpacks Psalm 90 and helps us understand how to live a Jesus-centered life with a sense of excitement and urgency. Next, we’ll look at how to die from the experience, strength, and hope of the late Dr. Tim Keller and by putting our faith in a Jesus-looking God.

Christians Are Like Tea Bags; You Don’t Know What They Are Made of Until You Put Them in Hot Water

September 3, 2023

Today’s message is titled “Christians Are Like Tea Bags; You Don’t Know What They Are Made Of Until You Put Them In Hot Water.” Today, Pastor Harold unpacks Ecclesiastes 3:1-15 and helps us understand the philosophy of fatalism and how it deludes our relationship with God. We look at the Four Big Pillars of Life and how, depending on our faith, we will deal with them when we are put into hot water, and all human beings will experience hot water; there is no avoiding it. If you are alive, you experience #1; we all will experience #4; and if we live long enough, we will experience #2 & #3, and not just for ourselves, but others we love: 1. Birth (Fate Determines) 2. Illness/accidents 3. Aging 4. Death

How To Share Your Faith In The World

August 20, 2023

Today’s message is titled “How To Share Your Faith In The World.” Today we unpack 1 Peter 3:13-22 and are reminded of our primary purpose as disciples. When we look at the decline of the “BIG C” Church, we have to be honest with ourselves and take ownership of the decline. We must quit blaming the devil, Satan, demons, principalities, and powers for everything that doesn’t go our way. Secularists have done a better job of evangelizing than believers have. If the trend continues, by 2070, 50% of the population in the United States will be secular, e.g., atheist, agnostic, and irreligious. If we believe the “good news” is the “best news ever,” we must start acting like it. We must share our faith and Jesus regularly and be invitational to the world’s countless lost souls suffering, wounded, and excluded.

When The Student Is Ready, The Teacher Will Appear

August 13, 2023

Today we unpack James 4:4-10 and learn from the teacher James. James shows us what it means to live a Jesus-centered life. We explore the quote’s origin, “When The Student Is Ready, The Teacher Will Appear.” What does it mean to be double-minded and outside the will of God? We look at a deeper understanding of the reference to the devil and how extreme self-centeredness robs us of the best life possible. We lean on our bumper video and lesson on Mr. Jenkins and how we can be the teachers in the right place at the right time when the student appears. 

God is _________________________________!

July 30, 2023

Our message today is titled “God is _______________________!” We unpack Romans 1:16-25 and incorporate the curriculum from this past weekend’s vacation bible school. We discuss the major theological arguments for God: 1. Cosmological Argument 2. Telelogocial Argument The Apostle Paul affirms that all humans already know the truth about God; they have chosen to suppress it. He reminds us that humans are without excuse when believing in God. We look at five spiritual truths about God that came from our VBS curriculum, and we added a 6th that comes from scripture: 1. God is real 2. God is with us 3. God is strong 4. God is awesome 5. God is in charge 6. (bonus) God is love

Where Are You, God?

July 16, 2023

Our message today is titled “Where Are You, God?” We unpack John 8:12-36 and what it means to say, “God is everything, or He is nothing.” We learn why Jesus demands that we either crown him King or crucify him.

Sympathy For the Devil?: Part Two

June 18, 2023

Today we start a two-part series titled “Sympathy For The Devil?” We unpack 1 John 3:1-10 (The Message) in today’s message. The subject of Satan, the Devil, demons, Lower Power, Darkside, the Enemy, Lucifer, Evil, and Spiritual Warfare are highly confusing, hard to understand, and often misconstrued. In this new messages series, we will tackle these subjects and uncover, discover, and discard any twisted perceptions about “The Devil.”
