The Wrestlings Of Kingdom Men

June 19, 2022 • Jeff Lyle • Jeremiah 12:1–5

The modern Christian man often finds himself wrestling. He wrestles with questions about identity, faith and God. He wrestles in his singleness, his role as a husband, his effectiveness as a father and his limitations when he is pulled between family, faith and career. The modern Christian man wrestles with his flesh at times. And then there remains the reality that faithful sons of God always carry a bullseye on their backs from the enemy of their souls. These realities, coupled with a world full of pressures, deception, and danger leave many Christian men feeling as if they are running out of air. God once spoke to an ancient prophet of His who was wrestling with some of these same issues. You may be surprised at how God responded to His servant’s complaints. Men today need to heed the immeasurably wise counsel of God to sons who are tempted to tap-out on the wrestling match. It is time for Christian men to reclaim their confidence and motivation for the fight.

Jesus: Christmas Revelation

December 19, 2021 • Jeff Lyle • Isaiah 9:7–9

We all know that the glorious event known as The Incarnation of Christ has been somewhat overshadowed in our generation by the cultural presentation of Christmas. While we should be grateful that, for one day each year on December 25th, the entire lost world at least gives a token nod to the birth of Jesus, we who actually follow Him cannot stop at merely viewing Christmas as a sentimental holiday season centered around decor, food and gifts. The birth of God’s Son was the most monumental event to ever take place up to that time. When Isaiah prophesied about the Son of God being given to humanity, his message was to shake all of history. A child was to be born, Isaiah declared, and a Son was to be given. In this message we explore the prophetic majesty of the birth of God’s Son. We unpack what it means for Him to be called Wonderful, Counselor, Everlasting Father, Mighty God and Prince of Peace. So, let’s take a moment to step away from the tinsel on the tree, the lights and the wrapping paper, the cider and the http://sleighs...and let’s retrace our steps to that moment when eternity came into time and the Savior of the world was born.
