Is it an athlete? A musician? An actor or actress? We use that label to indicate someone who excels and is, arguably, the best at what they do. A man came to Jesus one day with a GOAT question. And Jesus gave him THE answer. Not an answer, but THE answer. This Sunday, we are going to take a look at the GOAT command. Join us. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=35046089 Sun, 27 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -1000 00:43:23 Pastor Rocky Spear Sunday is Resurrection Sunday. We typically call this day "Easter." On this day nearly 2,000 years ago, a life-changing, life-transforming event took place. It's one segment of the Greatest Story Ever Told. Jesus, who had given His life three days earlier, now makes His way out of the tomb ... alive, fully alive! As we consider this familiar historical record once again, we will take a look at 5 words which are vitally important to Easter. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=35042366 Mon, 21 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -1000 00:36:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Join Rocky Spear as he leads us through a powerful and reflective Good Friday service at Kilpatrick Church. Through Scripture, prayer, and heartfelt worship, this service invites us to pause, reflect, and honor the incredible love displayed on the cross. Tune in for a meaningful experience of devotion and reverence as we walk together through the story of Jesus' final hours. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=35042375 Fri, 18 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -1000 00:53:02 Pastor Rocky Spear Praise ... we kind of like it when we are praised. When someone says something nice about us, it really feels good. In all transparency, we probably don't deserve the praise we get. But there is One who IS worthy of praise. On this Palm Sunday, our focus will be on praising the One who is worthy of ALL praise! http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=35042410 Sun, 13 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -1000 00:38:54 Pastor Rocky Spear Have you ever faced a dilemma, a problem involving a difficult choice? Maybe you would call it being between a rock and a hard place. The religious leaders of Jesus' day were always trying to put Him in a dilemma. In this passage, Jesus faced a political dilemma and a theological dilemma. You and I may face these same types of dilemmas. What do we do when faced with these difficult situations? Perhaps we can discover an answer from the Scripture. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=35042390 Sun, 06 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -1000 00:45:31 Neil Estep Sermon Topic: Mission Sunday-Hear from those that have been on Mission trips. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=35031597 Mon, 31 Mar 2025 00:00:00 -1000 00:52:51 Rocky Spear In Jesus' last week before crucifixion, He stirred the pot quite a bit. As we consider this portion of the Gospel of Mark, we have the opportunity to examine our lives and take inventory of the fruit we are bearing. We also get to ask ourselves, "What might God want to correct in my life and who do I need to forgive?" Join us Sunday as we dive into the Scripture. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=35023162 Sun, 16 Mar 2025 00:00:00 -1000 00:42:29 Laurie Patrick http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=35021754 Sun, 09 Mar 2025 00:00:00 -1000 00:22:53 Matt Kingshott When it comes to our faith it is the foundation of our relationship with God and the key to our salvation. Faith sustains us through trials, brings peace in uncertainty, and gives purpose to our lives. A couple weeks ago we studied the rich man and his sorrow that came from his unwillingness to leave his wealth and follow Christ. This week we will study the opposite. Bartimaeus, who had nothing, put his faith in Christ, and received everything! There are many lessons about faith that we can learn from Bartimaeus and implement them into our daily lives. Join us Sunday as we dig deeper and look to strengthen our faith in Christ. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=35016270 Sun, 02 Mar 2025 00:00:00 -1000 00:38:38 Reuben Nevo LECTURES BY REUBEN NEVO Who are the Essenes, Pharisees & Sadducees Israel-after October 7th http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=35012651 Mon, 24 Feb 2025 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Neil Estep Have you ever wanted to be "the big boss" or at least "one of the big bosses?" There is nothing wrong with it, unless our ambitions are wrong. When we want it for the power, the title, the notoriety, or anything that points to "love of self" it's a very worldly pursuit. God wants you and I to be "GREAT" in His Kingdom? What does THAT look like? Join us Sunday as we look at what it takes to be an MVS in God's Kingdom. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=35012649 Sun, 23 Feb 2025 00:00:00 -1000 00:39:10 Pastor Victor Collins http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=35009154 Sun, 16 Feb 2025 00:00:00 -1000 00:37:15 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=35009159 Sun, 09 Feb 2025 00:00:00 -1000 00:46:39 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=35008446 Sun, 02 Feb 2025 00:00:00 -1000 00:42:04 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=35008444 Sun, 26 Jan 2025 00:00:00 -1000 00:46:35 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34993232 Sun, 19 Jan 2025 00:00:00 -1000 00:43:38 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34993234 Sun, 12 Jan 2025 00:00:00 -1000 00:42:45 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34993235 Sun, 05 Jan 2025 00:00:00 -1000 00:48:05 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34990553 Sun, 29 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -1000 00:38:59 Pastor Rocky Spear Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Christmas Eve Service at Kilpatrick Church! It was a beautiful evening filled with carols, candlelight, and a message of hope as we celebrated the birth of Christ together. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34990548 Tue, 24 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -1000 00:28:21 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34990544 Sun, 22 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -1000 00:39:18 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34968933 Tue, 03 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -1000 00:49:30 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34968887 Sun, 01 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -1000 00:36:54 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34990555 Sun, 17 Nov 2024 00:00:00 -1000 00:43:10 Neil Estep http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34990558 Sun, 10 Nov 2024 00:00:00 -1000 00:41:48 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34990560 Sun, 03 Nov 2024 00:00:00 -1000 00:50:46 Pastor Rocky Spear Nobody really wants to talk about sin and nobody REALLY wants to talk about Hell. But, the Scripture addresses each of these topics. In fact, In Mark 9, Jesus, Himself, addresses sin and Hell. If He thought it was important enough to teach about, it's probably important enough for you and me to pay attention to. This may not be the "pickme- up" sermon of the year, I promise it will be an important message for each of us to hear. Come expecting to be challenged. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34934080 Sun, 29 Sep 2024 00:00:00 -1000 00:45:56 Pastor Rocky Spear As Christians, we are called to be the very best followers of Christ that we can be. How are you doing? Are you striving to be the "greatest" follower you can be? In this passage we see that the disciples are thinking of this very thing, but in the wrong way. Jesus sets them straight with words and actions. Come see what they learned about what it takes to be a great follower of Christ and more. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34934068 Sun, 22 Sep 2024 00:00:00 -1000 00:51:38 Pastor Rocky Spear Sometimes it's easy to let things slide in our lives. Maybe we don't think of them as being all that significant...at least at the moment. But there are attitudes and feelings or emotions, which if not cleansed by God which will behave like yeast and will begin to grow. First, almost imperceptibly, then more and more obvious, until there are wrong attitudes, sinful behavior, which bubble to the surface. We are in danger then of embracing that which is false and deceptive. Jesus' admonition to "watch out for the yeast" is still good for us today. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34915614 Mon, 02 Sep 2024 00:00:00 -1000 00:44:53 Pastor Rocky Spear Do you like "attaboys?" I think all of us enjoy hearing that we've done a good job. It kind of feels nice, doesn't it? Sadly, because we are limited human beings, we don't always do all things well. However, when it comes to Jesus, we can rest assured that whatever He does, it will be done well. He heard words of affirmation from His father, as well as from a crowd of people. In our passage Sunday, we will be reminded once again that Jesus does all things well. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34915629 Sun, 25 Aug 2024 00:00:00 -1000 00:44:07 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34934064 Sun, 11 Aug 2024 00:00:00 -1000 00:46:00 Pastor Rocky Spear There are many religions in this world. Virtually all of them are based upon "works" or "good deeds." The Christian faith is not based on these things. It is first and foremost a relationship. A relationship with Jesus Christ. This relationship will be followed by good works. We must be careful not to get works ahead of relationship. It seems the Pharisees in Jesus' day were more interested in religion (rule keeping). Are you following Jesus from the heart (relationship) or are you just keeping the rules (religion)? http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34845845 Sun, 19 May 2024 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Within Christianity, there are two extremes which are dangerous to our walk...legalism and liberty. Either extreme will find us living in bondage or excusing wrongdoing on our part. Jesus had several run-ins with legalists during His earthly ministry. What can we learn from His encounters? http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34839725 Sun, 12 May 2024 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear "Faith" is a common word in the Christian Church world. Do we know what it means? Is faith necessary in our walk with Christ? What role does it play when it comes to prayer and God answering our prayers? My guess is that most, if not all, of us have prayed and didn't get the answer we hoped or expected. Maybe we prayed with faith, but still, it seems that nothing happened. Why not? Join us Sunday as we touch the tip of the iceberg on faith. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34834870 Sun, 05 May 2024 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pasto Rocky Spear Would you touch a leper? Fear of contracting leprosy? I wonder, are there people in your circle of influence who you might think are "untouchable?" Maybe you avoid them for some reason. What if Jesus wants you to follow His example and touch the untouchable? Wold you do it? Will you do it? http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34828276 Sun, 28 Apr 2024 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear The people in the town of Capernaum had the wrong idea of who Jesus was. The crowds of people in that region seemed to come to Him for what He could do for them. What could they get out of Him? What about you? What is your answer to the question, "Who is Jesus?" Who is He to you? http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34824425 Sun, 21 Apr 2024 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear As we continue our journey through the Gospel of Mark, we will take a look at the calling of Jesus' first disciples. His call was simple: "Follow Me!" Not many details. Just "Follow Me!" Is Jesus still calling people to follow Him today? What does following Jesus look like for us? See you Sunday for the answer. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34819128 Sun, 14 Apr 2024 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Today we begin a journey through the Gospel of Mark. His account is the briefest of the four Gospels and it begins, in perhaps, the most unusual of ways. He never mentions the birth of Jesus. Mark's account of Jesus' life begins with His baptism. There is a lesson here for all of us. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34814428 Sun, 07 Apr 2024 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Have you ever considered that there were several tragedies associated with Easter? As we gather to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ this Sunday, we will consider together five tragedies directly connected to Easter and then celebrate the TRIUMPH of Easter. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34810095 Sun, 31 Mar 2024 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Neil Estep Come explore the significance of Palm Sunday/The Triumphal Entry in a different way. How much does God love us? What is He capable of (what length's will He go)? When Jesus entered Jerusalem on the Donkey that day, He was not only fulfilling prophecy, He was showing Himself to a nation as the perfect sacrificial Lamb. Why didn't they get it? What does that tell us about God and what can we learn from what unfolded that day? http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34805617 Sun, 24 Mar 2024 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Matthew Kingshott Throughout the years men have actively pursued women in search of their significant other. If you look closely you will find that men try to be chivalrous with different acts. They may open the door, pull a chair out so they can sit, or hand the lady their jacket if it is chilly. The Bible has different examples of how a man can love his wife and we see them on full display as Jesus loves His Church. Join us on Sunday as we will be studying Ephesians 5:25-33, and looking to emulate how Jesus loved His Church in our relationships. I promise, this is a message for anyone and everyone. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34801974 Sun, 17 Mar 2024 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Whether we realize it or not, you an I are passing something on to the next generation. Mom & Dad, you are teaching your children something which they will take with them. The question is: Are you passing the faith along to your children? Will they follow in your footsteps? Most likely they will follow your footsteps. Are you walking with Jesus? The Scripture reveals we are to pass the faith along to our children. And there are tragic consequences if we fail to do so. There is hope for the family if we pass the faith along. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34797540 Sun, 10 Mar 2024 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Vic Collins We will cover seven ways Jesus defeated death before His ultimate victorious resurrection. We will investigate some of the Biblical stories giving evidence that Jesus clearly showed He could defeat death, so in Him, we need not fear death. However, as we imitate Jesus, and live Christ-like lives, we too should be actively defeating death on a regular basis. Come join us Sunday as we travel this road of discovery and see where we can work with Jesus in defeating these seven avenues leading to death. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34793421 Sun, 03 Mar 2024 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear A look around us reveals that the family unit has many struggles. Families are being torn apart. Marriages are struggling and/or failing. Children are hurting. One might be tempted to wonder if there is any hope for the family? Thankfully, the answer is, "Yes! There is hope for the family." If we get back to the foundation of family and build our family on that solid foundation, there is hope. This Sunday we take a look at the foundation for family. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34781735 Sun, 18 Feb 2024 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Today we conclude our series focusing on our mission or purpose. Our time will be spent looking at what practices of discipleship are. While the list is not going to be exhaustive, it will give us a good starting point. Our commitment is to instruct believers in the practices of discipleship. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34777160 Sun, 11 Feb 2024 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear As we continue to be reminded of our mission or purpose for existing, we will examine the second "I" of our purpose statement. We are committed to ILLUSTRATE the Christian life by living out our faith daily. What does that look like? If you join us Sunday, we will attempt to answer this question. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34771013 Sun, 04 Feb 2024 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear As we begin 2024, it's time for us to be reminded of God's purpose for Kilpatrick Church. He did not place us in this location, in this community, by accident. He has a purpose for us. I invite you to join me for a three week series entitled: "I" Remember, where we will take a look at the mission statement of Kilpatrick Church. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34766811 Sun, 28 Jan 2024 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Matt Kingshott The word amazing can be overused to describe things that we see or experience throughout our lives. Also, what we deem to be amazing changes throughout the various stages of life too. In the Bible people were consistently amazed at what Jesus was doing from His teachings to His miracles that were performed. However, there were two instances where Jesus was amazed. Once it was because of a lack of faith and the second time was amazing faith. I encourage you to join us as we study both passages and see what we can apply to our lives to have amazing faith. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34762439 Sun, 21 Jan 2024 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Staff As we enter a new year, there is opportunity for us to take a quick look back at the previous year and reflect on the events and happenings. It is also a perfect opportunity for us to look forward, with anticipation, to what we hope to accomplish in a new year. Join us Sunday as we take time to reflect and anticipate. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34752926 Sun, 07 Jan 2024 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Vic Collins There is a common theme in Scripture. When people are placed in positions of power they typically fail. This is true in all kinds of human led systems, agencies, and organizations throughout history. People often look to humans and human systems to do what only God can do. Is there an answer? John the Baptist both suffered under oppression and tyranny. Sure, Jesus is the answer when we die, but is there an answer to the failure of human systems in this life? As Frodo learned in "Lord of the Rings," it is more enjoyable to remain in the Shire, but that will not address the advancing problem. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34750437 Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear As we conclude our Advent series, we will take a look at the "same old story" found in Luke 2. Luke gives us the most complete account of Jesus' birth. One of many high lights we find is the rejoicing and praising which is done by the shepherds. Could it be we might learn from them? How should we respond to the "Good News" that a Savior has been born? Luke 2 reminds us of our duty. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34745699 Sun, 24 Dec 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Continuing in our "The Same Old Story" series, we will explore Joseph's perspective and actions as the man who was engaged to Mary. How will e respond or react to the news that Mary is pregnant...and he's not the dad? Will he listen? To Mary? To the angel? Will Joseph walk in obedience to God? Scripture reveals the answer. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34741856 Sun, 17 Dec 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Surrender. Not necessarily a popular term. It carries with it the idea of giving up one's rights in favor of another. No one wants to do that...at least not very often. In Mary's story we see a young lady who was surrendered to God. She yielded herself to God for an unknown future. His plan may have greatly affected her plans. But she was willing to surrender, in faith. Her example is a great pattern for us to follow. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34736365 Sun, 10 Dec 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Have you ever questioned whether or not God keeps His promises? Not long after Creation, a promise began to unfold, which took a few thousand years to come to reality. There was the promise of a Messiah. This Sunday, we will trace the promise through the Scriptures and discover once again, God keeps His promises! http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34730760 Sun, 03 Dec 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Neil Estep Thanksgiving is a great reminder for us to give thanks to God for everything we are blessed with. How often should we "give thanks" though? For what types of blessings? Are you good at remembering to live your life "thankfully?" Let's look at the example Paul gives us on being thankful. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34725859 Sun, 26 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear As we understand what the Church is, we come to recognize that there are things the Church does. For the next two weeks, we will take some time to look at the actions of the Church. And it's important to remember that as we are actively doing what God says the Church is to be doing, there is joy. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34714810 Sun, 12 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear How would you define "church?" Is it a place? A people? Something you do or a place you go? Or is it more than that? The Scriptures give us details about the Church which are necessary to be reminded of. Who does the Church belong to? And, what is the Church, after all? Answers coming Sunday. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34711357 Sun, 05 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Dr. Matt Friedeman Session 2 of 3 Parents and grandparents are invited to learn how to disciple the whole family right in your own home. Learn the best ways to help your family grow in Christ. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34712658 Sat, 04 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Dr. Matt Friedeman Session 3 of 3 Parents and grandparents are invited to learn how to disciple the whole family right in your own home. Learn the best ways to help your family grow in Christ. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34712662 Sat, 04 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Dr. Matt Friedeman Session 1 of 3 Parents and grandparents are invited to learn how to disciple the whole family right in your own home. Learn the best ways to help your family grow in Christ. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34712607 Fri, 03 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear As we conclude our Revelation series, we will see Jesus interrupting John three times saying, "I am coming soon!" Seems like Jesus wants us to understand that He is coming. And, without question, His point is clear: Be ready! Join us in the finale of "After This." http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34705382 Sun, 29 Oct 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Revelation 22 begins with a continued description of what the New Jerusalem will be like. This section focuses on the River of Life and the Tree of Life. Once again, we see emphasized that the curse will no longer exist. And, to think, we will see God face-to-face. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34699824 Sun, 22 Oct 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear The New Jerusalem! This massive city, coming down out of heaven onto the new earth, will be something that we cannot comprehend today. The size and beauty will be astounding. In the words of a popular song, "I can only imagine." http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34694006 Sun, 15 Oct 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear As beautiful as our earth is, can you even come close to imagining what the new heaven and the new earth will be like? And what about the New Jerusalem? In Sunday's message, we will be introduced to the New Jerusalem, called the Holy City. The Scripture reveals who will and who will not be in the new heaven and the new earth. The list of those who miss out is quite sobering. But YOU can be a part of the new heaven and the new earth. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34688573 Sun, 08 Oct 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear In this section, a number of topics are raised, not the least of which is the Great White Throne Judgement. We will see that the great deceiver, the devil, will meet his demise and will be tormented forever. The most sober portion of this passage deals with the reality of hell, the lake of fire. Come with ears to hear from the Lord. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34683577 Sun, 01 Oct 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Is Jesus coming back? Yes! Revelation 19 gives details on that. But then what? Revelation 20 speaks of a 1,000 year reign of Christ on the earth. Is this a literal 1,000 years? Does everybody agree on the topic? Come Sunday to find some answers. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34674435 Sun, 24 Sep 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear We've heard it all of our lives, especially if we grew up in the church...Jesus is coming again. Do we believe it? We know for certain that Jesus is Faithful and True. As such, we can rest assured He will keep His word and His words are true. A study of Revelation 19 points to His Second Coming, which will then lead into a 1,000 year period of time when Jesus reigns on earth. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34668357 Sun, 17 Sep 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Laurie Patrick Join us as we look at God's blessings upon two women in scripture, Sarah & Hagar, the wives of Abram. As we unpack their story, we learn more about these blessings and more importantly, what they teach us about God. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34659789 Sun, 10 Sep 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear The first part of Revelation 19 is centered around praise to the Lord and a wedding banquet. We will look at the word "hallelujah" and consider the meaning of the wedding supper of the Lamb. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34653380 Sun, 03 Sep 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Babylon the Great is fallen! The peoples of the earth are going to weep and morn because of her destruction, but maybe not for the reason you would think. Treasures and wealth will be depleted. The ability to earn will be gone. Despair will set in when treasures are destroyed. This gives us the opportunity to think about our treasures and how we should think about our treasures. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34646883 Sun, 27 Aug 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Babylon the Great is front and center. It seems that chapter 17 reveals Babylon the Great as a religious system that is opposition to God. There appears to be a connection between this system and the Antichrist, but it will one day be broken apart. In Revelation 17, we get a good picture of the beast/Antichrist. Come tackle a tough portion of Scripture on Sunday. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34640551 Sun, 20 Aug 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear The Bowl Judgements have been awful, terrifying and devastating. But God is not finished yet. The worst is yet to come as He finishes His just wrath on the sinful earth. But the best is yet to come! http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34633085 Sun, 13 Aug 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear The end is near, and God's final judgement on the earth is about to commence. The earth He created, saying, "it is good," is now being torn apart and systematically destroyed. The response of those living on the earth is a refusal to repent and a direct cursing of God. The final days are going to be awful. What can we find that applies to our lives today? Find out Sunday. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34623712 Sun, 06 Aug 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Matt Kingshott As we study the Bible there are many people we get to learn from. Some of the most influential and discussed people are the twelve disciples. One that has always been intriguing and debated is Peter. He is bold, impulsive, outspoken at times, but truly loves the Lord with all his heart. This Sunday we will study Peter as he actively listened to Jesus when he stepped out of the boat and walked to his Savior. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34613278 Sun, 30 Jul 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Vic Collins Dramatic irony is used by writers hundreds of years before Jesus was born. Mark uses dramatic irony in his Gospel, telling the story of Jesus' execution. When we understand this, as the original readers would have, it gives us a new perspective on what has become known as the old, old story. It calls us to a renewed response and responsibility toward Jesus' ironic trial and crucifixion. However, it also calls for transformation in our daily perspective. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34605028 Sun, 23 Jul 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear John sees more visions. These visions are relaying information which leads up to the final judgement of God on the earth and ultimately the Second Coming of Christ. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34598833 Sun, 16 Jul 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear This section is one of many in Revelation which are challenging to understand. In this portion, we will observe two reapings from the earth. Are they both judgements? Is one of them the Rapture? Our study will provide us opportunity to take a little closer look at the Rapture. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34592058 Sun, 09 Jul 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear After much troubling information about the end times (The Dragon, The Antichrist & The False Prophet), John's letter takes a victorious turn. And then three angels bring solemn messages to those living on earth. Ultimately, warning against taking the mark of the beast. The consequences are eternal. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34586763 Sun, 02 Jul 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Last Sunday we took a look at the Antichrist, one of two major players in the end times events. This morning, our focus will turn to the one called the "False Prophet." This beast will serve the Antichrist and will have great power. He will introduce what we call "the mark of the beast." http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34577264 Sun, 25 Jun 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear As the end of times draws close, Satan is going to be furiously active. A world leader is going to emerge who will appeal to the whole world and will, for a period of time, rule. First of all, peacefully, then with a strong and cruel fury. Who is this leader? The Beast or the Antichrist. Revelation 13 gives us information to this one. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34587143 Sun, 18 Jun 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Enemies: Most of us have never had a true enemy in this life. But the truth of the matter is, there is one enemy of all of us. This adversary is real and powerful. He has our eternal demise at heart. Who is he? You've heard about him. Revelation 12 gives us great insight into who our mortal enemy is. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34563729 Sun, 11 Jun 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Revelation 12 introduces us to more symbolic images with literal meaning. John describes a "woman" and a "dragon." Who are they? What is the significance of what John is seeing? One thing we will learn is that we are overcomers. Satan loses. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34557970 Sun, 04 Jun 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear The 7th Trumpet of God's judgement is sounded. It appears there is a transfer of power which will take place. God's kingdom is about ready to come into full power with Jesus reigning forever! John is privileged to see the original temple in heaven. And the ark of the covenant. Does this have significance for us today? We will attempt to answer this Sunday. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34552513 Sun, 28 May 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear The end is getting near. The rise of the Antichrist is happening. In His mercy, God sends two witnesses to testify about Him. These witnesses will be a thorn in the side of the world. Then comes the beast. Who is the beast? We will attempt to answer that question. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34539954 Sun, 21 May 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Laurie Patrick As mothers, fathers and believers in Christ we have a responsibility to model Christ-like lives for our children and grandchildren. The good thing is, the Bible has given us examples of Christ centered parents. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34535477 Sun, 14 May 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear There are moments when one reads the Scripture and something stands out which may not be the primary focus of the passage. For me, tough we are working our way through End Times activities, there is something very important which stands out to me and it's not directly connected with End Times. What is it? the trustworthiness of the Scripture. It is believable and can be trusted. That's a truth I gain from Revelation 10. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34527802 Sun, 07 May 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear God's wrath on the ungodly earth is continuing to increase. The "Woes" are just beginning with the sounding of the 5th Trumpet. Terrible torment and even catastrophic death is coming to the earth. Yet, tragically, people will refuse to repent. You and I are called to repentance. Have we answered the call? http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34525671 Sun, 30 Apr 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Neil Estep As followers of Christ, we have all the information we need, to do what we have been told to do. So the question is: "are we being obedient?" Romans 1:16, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile." http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34525670 Sun, 23 Apr 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear As the events of the End Times unfold, God's judgement seems to become more and more severe. In Revelation 8, we will observe the 7th seal being opened and the trumpet judgements which flow out of it. To be certain, no one can withstand the judgement of Almighty God. But we can also be certain of this: God hears our prayers. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34514626 Sun, 16 Apr 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Can you explain the "why" of the Easter story? You know the "what." No doubt you can recite with great detail the Biblical narrative surrounding the crucifixion and resurrection. But do you know the "why?" Join us Resurrection Sunday as we look at why Jesus did what He did. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34507076 Sun, 09 Apr 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear An old song says this, "Christ is not a disappointment." Has He ever disappointed YOU? Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey on a Sunday centuries ago. His entrance raised the expectations of many. "Could this be the Messiah?" Their expectations were dashed when less than a week later, He was crucified. Oh, He was the Messiah, but they expected something different. Who do you expect Jesus to be? I would suggest that a wrong expectation of Jesus will result in disappointment and disillusionment. But a proper perspective of Jesus will bring hope. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34501259 Sun, 02 Apr 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Neil Estep How much ministry do you do? Do you help others by giving your money, or your time or your abilities regularly? Why, or why not? What would make you start? What would make you do more? What if God asked YOU to start a ministry? Come be challenged to think about building His Kingdom all over the world, and here in the Lakewood area. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34495732 Sun, 26 Mar 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear It's pretty easy to see God's wrath as one reads and studies the book of Revelation. But is there mercy in the midst of His wrath? We know God has a track record of mercy in wrath. Revelation 7 reveals this truth once again. Thank God for mercy! http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34490855 Sun, 19 Mar 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear We are curious people and want answers. Especially when it comes to details of the Last Days or End Times. What's going to happen? When will it happen? What are the specific details? What does it all mean? Revelation 6 gives us just enough information to make us more curious. But it does give some information. If Revelation 6 is an overview of what will take place in the time of the Biblical Tribulation, we will note that it will not be pleasant. It's vital that we always stay ready, whether we miss or face the Tribulation. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34485456 Sun, 12 Mar 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear John, in the Spirit, is taken to heaven. In Revelation 4, his attention was focused, primarily, on the Throne of God. In Revelation 5, he sees a Lamb standing before the throne. The Lamb is Jesus. The Lamb is found to be worthy to take God's scroll from His hand. His taking of the scroll began an ever-widening circle of praise to the Lamb and the One who sits on the throne. Join us as we explore Revelation 5. We might even bring up the Rapture. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34480249 Sun, 05 Mar 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear The Apostle John gets a glimpse as to what is going on in heaven; specifically what is taking place around the throne of God. He sees worship. Is God worthy of your worship? Is He receiving your worship? Will you take intentional steps to worship Him? Join us as we begin a further study into the Book of Revelation. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34322710 Sun, 26 Feb 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear For one more week, we are exploring and unpacking Romans 12:9-21 to discover practices which are helpful in our growth in Christ, as well as indicators of our growth in Christ. As we wrap this "Growing in Christ" series up, my prayer is that we will not forget these truths from Scripture, and that more and more they will become a part of our daily lives. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34252002 Sun, 19 Feb 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear How are you doing in your walk with Christ? Are you growing? This Sunday, we are continuing in our series "Growing in Christ" where we are examining the practices of one who is growing in Christ. Our goal this week is to take a look at Practices 12-17. They are NOT easy. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34237190 Sun, 12 Feb 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear This Sunday, we will continue our look at Romans 12:9-21 where Paul reveals to the Roman believers (and to us) practices of the follower of Christ which will help us grow in Christ. Last Sunday, we observed 5 practices. Today we will look at practices 6-11. Join us as we examine more indicators we are growing in Christ. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34230784 Sun, 05 Feb 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear The Scripture is not silent on practices and behaviors which mark the true follower of Christ. The Apostle Paul is quite specific in Romans 12 when it comes to practices which a follower of Christ is to have in place in their lives. Do they come naturally? Probably not! Thus, we must practice them. Join us as we look at more helpful practices which are indicators that we re followers of Christ. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34225702 Sun, 29 Jan 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Did you know you need other people? As followers of Jesus Christ, we need one another. We were not created to be alone. The Scripture speaks of fellowship as a practice of those who follow Christ. It is more important than perhaps we recognize. Fellowship is a key part in our growth in Christ. It's a practice which needs to be brought to our attention, and a practice that must not be neglected. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34218312 Sun, 22 Jan 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Do you pray? Why do you pray? Both believers and non-believers (to some extent) have the thought that prayer works. Prayer is us (humans) in contact with and communicating with the God of this Universe. What an incredible privilege! Prayer is a discipline or practice that is beneficial to our growth in Christ. Thankfully, we are not left to figure it out on our own. Jesus gave us a pattern to follow. We will focus our attention on prayer through the lens of Jesus' teaching about prayer. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34213064 Sun, 15 Jan 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear We begin a new series looking at the practices of the follower of Christ. In week one, our focus will be on the Bible, the Word of God. Do you read the Scripture? Do y study it? Is the Scripture a priority in your life? In order to grow in our faith, it is vial that we take the time to red and know God's Word. And just as importantly, we must put His Word into practice in our lives. Join us a we look at the basics of God's Word. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34207535 Sun, 08 Jan 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Matt Kingshott As a new year begins it is a good time to remember all that God has done in our lies while also looking ahead to the future. Was this past year filled with disappointment or was it the best year to date? When we look back at this past year it's important to not dwell on changes for too long because God is actively at work in our lives now. Are there opportunities that God has presented to us that we need to listen and wholeheartedly follow? This Sunday Isaiah will remind us about what the Israelies went through and why it is important for us to keep seeking the new things God has planned for us. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34202246 Sun, 01 Jan 2023 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear The Magi, wise men from the East, began a search for the "King of the Jews" which led them to Bethlehem. There, they found the King (the Messiah), and worshiped Him. We too are to worship Jesus the Messiah. Our worship should flow from our love for Him. Do you love Him? We know He loves us. Join us as we observe God's love for us, the action which flowed from His love, and then see what our response should be to Him http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34188051 Sun, 18 Dec 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear "O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie..." We sing this carol probably every year. But was it a still night just outside of Bethlehem? The shepherds watching over their flocks that night would probably say, "No!" Their night was disturbed with good news of great joy - and a whole lot of fear - when an angel, then host of angels, appeared to them. The news? The Messiah, the Savior, had been born in Bethlehem. After their visit to the newborn baby, they spread the news of great joy to whomever would listen. The reason for their joy? Their Savior had been born. Today, the news is still good news of great joy for us. Our Savior has been born. Do you know the joy of sins forgiven? There is a Savior! He wants to be yours. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=34180363 Sun, 11 Dec 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Peace! We like peace, don't we? How many times have parents, maybe especially moms, said "If I could only have a moment of peace and quiet?" There are times in life when our circumstances disturb our peace. Where do you turn when your peace is disturbed? Mary had some pretty challenging circumstances which, no doubt, disturbed her peace, at least for a moment. How did she regain peace? We will explore that this Sunday. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=33638749 Sun, 04 Dec 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Do you have hope? Who or what do you have your hope in? Where is your hope when life's circumstances do not seem to make any sense? Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, had some pretty unusual circumstances in his life. And they certainly did not make much sense. But as he turned to God, hope was the result. Join us this first Sunday of Advent as we look at the life of Joseph. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=32932077 Sun, 27 Nov 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Are you grateful or entitled? We hear a lot about entitlement mentality today. Everybody seems to believe they are "owed" something. Entitlement decreases thanksgiving. As we prepare for the Thanksgiving holiday, join us as we take a look at why we should give God thanks. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=32859228 Sun, 20 Nov 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear How easy is it to deceive yourself? If we want to believe something about ourselves, we tend to do so. The Laodicean church believed something about themselves that was completely opposite of what Jesus KNEW was true about them. So, Jesus confronts them. Out of anger? No! Because He loved them. He was willing to restore them to Himself. He is willing today to restore those who are willing to turn back to Him. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=32790348 Sun, 13 Nov 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear The Church in Philadelphia did not receive any negative statements from Jesus. Though they were weak, He encouraged them to overcome. And if they did, there would be security...eternal security. He also reminded the that He was coming soon. There are lessons which we can glean from this message. You need to be here to discover them. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=32781039 Sun, 06 Nov 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Contentment. Complacency. Status Quo. These can be a dangerous place to be. It's easy to get comfortable and content with how things are or how they have been. It seems that the church in Sardis had become content or complacent and was surviving on past successes. They believed they were alive. At least, that's what everyone else thought. But Jesus had a completely different assessment. "You are dead." Wow! Is there any lesson for us from the message in the church in Sardis? http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=32772414 Sun, 30 Oct 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Idols and idol worship was a common practice in the city of Thyatira. Images of the gods and goddesses were everywhere. And sadly, idol worship had crept into the church in Thyatira. Jesus was coming in judgement! I doubt if any of us have images or statues in our homes to which we bow and worship. But, is it possible that we have other gods or idols which have become part of our lives? God is very clear, we are to have no other gods before Him. The message to Thyatira gives up opportunity to examine our lives to see if we have idols. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=32762202 Mon, 24 Oct 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Compromise! Is it a good or bad thing? It can be bad when we lower our morals, ethics or principles in order to gain something or please someone. In fact, it can be outright sin! Jesus sends a letter to Pergamum to rebuke them for compromise. Judgement was coming if things were not corrected. Have you compromised? Has the church compromised? If so, what must we do? http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=32756403 Sun, 16 Oct 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Suffering...not a popular subject. Suffering...nothing you or I want to deal with. Suffering...something we don't fully understand the "why" of it. But what if there is something beneficial to suffering? In Jesus' letter to the church in Smyrna, He indicates that their suffering would INCREASE, but that they are to be faithful, because there was a reward coming. Maybe, just maybe, suffering is good for us. We must remember to be faithful, regardless of the suffering. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=32750122 Sun, 09 Oct 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Ephesus was a very active and busy church, focused on doing all the "right" things. They were complimented for this. But then they were reprimanded from Jesus. What was their problem? Why did Jesus need to confront them? Revelation 22:1-7 reveals their problem. Is it possible that we have a similar issue? Find out Sunday. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=32742960 Sun, 02 Oct 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear What is your view of Jesus? Are you in awe of Him? The Apostle John had one view of Jesus while Jesus was ministering on earth, but a very different view of Jesus in the book of Revelation. His new revelation brought a great sense of awe. Join us as we get a new view of Jesus. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=32735543 Sun, 25 Sep 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear The book of Revelation is just that...a revelation or revealing. It reveals Jesus and it is a revealing BY Jesus. This Sunday begins a 9 week study over a portion of the book of Revelation. Our focus this week will be on an introduction to the book, but we will also begin seeing Jesus as He is revealed. I encourage you to read Revelation 1:1-8 in prepartion for the upcoming message. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=32727386 Sun, 18 Sep 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Jamie Krenz Have you ever feared an uncertain future? Been beaten down by life? You're not alone. Come be encouraged by the truths of Psalm 93 - a powerful Psalm that has provided hope and courage to God's people for centuries. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=32723771 Sun, 11 Sep 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=32718359 Sun, 04 Sep 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Why do you pray? Is it because you believe prayer works or is prayer simply some duty that we feel obligated to participate in? Scripture indicates that we are to pray. Jesus gave us a model prayer. Join us as we take time to review what the Scripture reveals to us about praying. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=32718216 Sun, 28 Aug 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Have you ever ever been the recipient of generosity? Feels kind of nice, doesn't it? It's humbling and refreshing. Have you ever been generous? How does that feel? The Scripture has much to say about giving and it urges us to be generous. What kind of a giver are you? Join us as we explore what it means to be a generous church. (REMEMBER: You are the church, so we will be talking about your generosity.) http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=31891353 Sun, 21 Aug 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Church. What comes to mind when you hear the word "church?" How would you define church to someone else? The Bible contains many references to "church," along with indications of who the church is and what its responsibilities are. Are you being the church? http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=31883924 Sun, 14 Aug 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Neil Estep There are so many things we can learn from the glimpses we get of Jesus in the Gospels. Each account is a treasure-trove of invaluable lessons and information meant for our benefit. This Sunday we will spend a tiny amount of time looking at one of these accounts, the death and resurrection of a man named Lazarus, from the town of Bethany. What lessons does God want you to get from this account? What do you need to work on? Have you ever heard the words "the deader, the better" in a sermon before? Come join us Sunday morning for a time of fellowship and worship! http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=31872807 Sun, 07 Aug 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear I doubt there is any argument with this statement: All of us have needs from time to time. The question is: Who do you turn to when you have a need? Do you turn to yourself? To others? Do you look to someone who has the ability to provide whatever it is you need? In times of need, we want help. We want provision. Throughout Abraham's life, he experienced the provision of God in many ways. As we examine his life story, we can learn this lesson: God provides. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=31712888 Sun, 31 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear God has given us the characters in the Scripture to teach us about WHO He is and what He wants from us. One of the most prominent biblical characters is a man named Abram (Abraham). For the next two weeks, we want to take a quick overview of his life and discover any lessons God may want to teach us from the life of this giant of faith. I would encourage you to take the time to read Genesis 12-16 in preparation for Sunday's message. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=31692548 Sun, 24 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Vic Collins Did you ever wonder what happened to the Tabernacle? Where is Solomon's Temple or Herod's Temple? What if Jesus didn't go into the Temple to cleanse it but to curse it? Would the Messiah enter God's house and write its obituary? Bring your Bibles this Sunday as we journey through the repeated failures of God's people and understand why the Temple is no longer there. Does it have anything to do with us? http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=31668984 Sun, 17 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Jamie Krenz King Solomon was known as the wisest man in the ancient world. He wrote thousands of proverbs and poems and collected and recorded knowledge about plants and animals. The book of Proverbs makes that wisdom available to us today. In this Sunday's passage we will consider four instructions from Solomon that we would be wise to put into practice as we walk the path of the righteous. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=31669025 Sun, 10 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear We are somewhat familiar with the basic Biblical account of Babel. But have we taken the time to see what foundational truths are there? Does God overlook pride and sin? Does He punish or correct in the way or timing that we expect? The Babel story gives us insight into this. We know God has something to teach us from this historical account. And He has something for us to do. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=31459234 Sun, 03 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Matt Kingshott In today's world there is so much going on around us. In the Bible there was also a great deal of conflict, even within families. The brothers Jacob and Esau are prime examples of conflict in the book of Genesis. The conflict was so great that Jacob fled Esau, but they did meet again. Jacob was worried, and for good reason feared the worst. On the other hand, Esau had different intentions for the meeting between the two brothers. Join us on Sunday as we study Esau's intentions for Jacob and how the Lord changed his heart. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=31074920 Sun, 26 Jun 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear How seriously does God view sin? It's certainly not a small thing in His eyes. At a point in the history of mankind, people became so evil God was ready to "wipe mankind...from the face of the earth." Clearly, God hates sin, and will punish sin. There are foundational truths we can discover in one of the most familiar Bible stories of all time. Join us to discover them. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=30787437 Sun, 19 Jun 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Have you ever run across a portion of Scripture which caused you to wonder, "Why is this in here?" There are a few of those places, aren't there? Genesis 5 may be one of those chapters which causes you to scratch your head in wonderment. Lots of names and ages...and a repeated statement, "then he died." Encouraging, right? There may be more there than you know. See you Sunday to find out. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=28282498 Sun, 12 Jun 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Sin was introduced to us in Genesis 3. In Genesis 4, we begin seeing the tragic results of sin. We also discover more about the nature of sin and its plan. It's important that we never take sin lightly and that we never let it master us. But is it possible? God told Cain, in reference to sin, "You must master it." So, is it possible? http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=20521653 Sun, 05 Jun 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Why is there so much evil and wickedness in this world? Why do bad things happen to good people? Is there any explanation? Genesis 3 opens the door of our sight to see a humanity-wide problem. The Bible simply calls it sin. This account is founataional to our faith, as well as to the balance of Scripture. Here, we find the reason for a Savior. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=20516154 Sun, 29 May 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear The current culture has wide-ranging views on mankind/humanity. Is it valuable? Are certain people or ethnicities less valuable or important than others? What about sexuality and gender? How should we view earth's resources? Marriage? Many opinions have been given. But what does the Bible say? Join us as we explore Genesis 1 & 2 to see what Scripture teaches. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=20339390 Sun, 22 May 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear What do you believe? Do you have a foundation for the things you believe? Do you know where you came from? As followers of Christ, we believe there is a foundation upon which we can build our lives. We believe there are truths which are vitally important to our faith. Where we came from is a foundational subject we need to have a good grasp on. Read Genesis 1, and be prepared to be strengthened in your faith. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=19203918 Sun, 15 May 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Jamie Krenz Nicodemus thought he knew how God worked, and he had their relationship all wrapped up into a set of rules and under control. But living a good and moral life wasn't enough for Nicodemus, and it's not enough for you either. What was then, is true now - to enter the kingdom of God you must be born again. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=18299209 Sun, 08 May 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Neil Estep Have you ever been on a Mission Trip? Do you want to go on one? Do you NOT want to go on one? No matter your opinion, we are called to go tell others about Jesus, in our own backyard and around the world. Come find out about opportunities to go on a mission trip in 2023, or how to tell others about Jesus in your own community. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=18285836 Sun, 01 May 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear How content are you? Contentment is not something that is natural to any of us. In fact, discontent is probably what comes natural to each of us. Paul talks about "learning" to be content. Is there a secret to contentment? We will try to answer that question Sunday. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=18278127 Sun, 24 Apr 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear During the Easter season, we remember and celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. On Easter Sunday morning, the focal point is the resurrection. Here's a question for you: Is the resurrection important? Here's another question: What if the resurrection had not taken place? Have you ever thought about that? There are major implications if the resurrection did not occur. Join us as we consider a few "what if's?" http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=18270882 Sun, 17 Apr 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Many in the crowd on Palm Sunday were hailing Jesus as King and Messiah. But, how many of them had really made Him King of their lives? No doubt it was easy to join in with the crowd saying "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!" However, it's likely that just a few days later, many who had called Jesus "King" were yelling out "Crucify Him!" Is Jesus your King? That's a question each of us must answer. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=18263798 Sun, 10 Apr 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear The Scripture is not silent about our mind or our thoughts. We are called to love God "with all our mind." So, does your thought life matter? Evidently, Paul believed so, as we see him instructing the believers in Philippi concerning the things they were to think about. The things we think about and how we think plays a major role in how we live. My thoughts about myself, others and God, impacts my response to each. What kinds of things do you think about? True? Noble? Right? Pure? Lovely? Admirable? http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=18255405 Sun, 03 Apr 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Have you ever known someone who doesn't "beat around the bush," but goes directly to the point? The Apostle Paul can be that way. As he is approaching the end of his letter to the Philippian believers, he gives a handful of commands which are short and to the point. Rejoice. Be gentle. Don't worry. Pray! Sometimes we are best served when the information we receive is very direct. Philippians 4:4-7, is one of those instances where we are very clearly instructed on how kingdom citizens are to live. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=18248145 Sun, 27 Mar 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear My guess is that everyone who reads this has disagreed with someone somewhere along the way. Maybe it was just a minor differing of opinion, or maybe it was a pretty serious disagreement. How do you handle times of disagreement? What happens if there is a major disagreement within the church? The Apostle Paul speaks to this issue, which the Philippian church was dealing with. There is something we can learn from how he handled it. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=18183170 Sun, 20 Mar 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Paul taught a transformational message...the Gospel of Jesus Christ message. He also taught that one day, our physcial bodies will be transformed into a "glorious body." This will take place at the return of Christ. But in the meantie, we are to live godly lives. And God gives us examples to follow to help us know what that looks like. Paul said to these believers, "Follow me." Would you be comfortable in saying that? We can and should! http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=18167564 Sun, 13 Mar 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Have you ever been tempted to quit? Quit a job? Quit a hobby? Quit a relationship? Quit following Jesus? The Apostle Paul seems like the kind of guy that had no "quit" in him. He had been through a lot in his journey of faith, but quitting was not something that was in his vocabulary. In this section of Scripture, we will see that Paul was "pressing on." Let's be people like Paul: people who press on! http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=18145740 Sun, 06 Mar 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear What do you rejoice in? It's not difficult to rejoice when life is going up roses. But what about when life stinks? Do you...can you rejoice then? Paul instructs the Philippians believers to "Rejoice in the Lord!" There are many reasons we can rejoice in the Lord. Even in the midst of hardship. A key to being able to rejoice in the Lord is to know Christ. Join us as we dig into Paul's letter to the Philippians. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=18095138 Sun, 27 Feb 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Vic Collins How important are friends on the journey toward Christlikeness? This week we will look at two fellow workers with Paul in advancing the Gospel; Timothy and Epaphroditus. We will look at who they were and how Paul was comforted by these two agents of the Kingdom. The hope is that you too will add a few comforting agents to your life, as you advance the Kingdom. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=17996537 Sun, 20 Feb 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Matt Kingshott When we enter into disagreements or arguments with others, what is our main goal we want to accomplish? Are we aware of the positive and negative consequences that can result from our discussion with others? The Apostle Paul is writing to the Philippians and he begins by offering encouragement and praise of their work while he is away. He implores the Philippians to be blameless and to also be like the stars and shine. In Sunday's message we will study how to handle arguments with all people, walk blamelessly and shine for Him, and finally encourage and celebrate the work of fellow believers. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=17883536 Sun, 13 Feb 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear When you see pride or arrogance in others, how does that hit you? What do people think when they see pride or arrogance in you? Pride tends to be a major factor in disagreements and division. Could it be the Bible gives us insight into how to remedy or solve division? The Apostle Paul addresses this in Philippians 2. Join us Sunday to discover the remedy for division. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=17843625 Sun, 06 Feb 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Paul addresses a couple of issues in this portion of his letter. 1. The believer's conduct. 2. Consistent living. 3. Common struggles. Each of these are vital components in the walk of every believer. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=17491467 Sun, 30 Jan 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear What or who do you life for? What is it that your energies are consumed by? It's highly likely that there is something or someone in our lives which is of a very high priority to us. It is Jesus? Paul's life was wrapped up in Christ. In this section of Paul's letter, he also brings up death. Do you have a proper perspective on death? I believe a biblical perspective on life and death will lead us to say with Paul, "To me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=16586413 Sun, 23 Jan 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear The call of God for every believer is to advance the Gospel. For centuries, the Gospel has moved forward. I'm reminded of the old hymn we sang growing up, "Onward Christian Soldiers." My life is to promote Jesus and advance the Gospel. The Apostle Paul understood that and shared this with the believers at Philippi. The result of his circumstances promoted the Gospel and it encouraged others to advance the Gospel. Is your life advancing the Gospel of Christ? http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=15248870 Sun, 09 Jan 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear God has a history of doing good. The Scripture teaches that He does good work in us. One thing we know about God is that He does nothing with mediocrity. And He always finishes what He starts. Has He begun a good work in YOU? Join us as we are reminded of the work God does in us. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=14515149 Sun, 02 Jan 2022 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Do you pray? What is your prayer life like? Is it a priority? The Apostle Paul revealed quite often that he prayed for those believers in various cities where he had ministered. Quite often, these believers were in difficult situations. We discover that Paul's prayers for them are different than we might expect. I believe we can learn from Paul the priority of our prayers. And it may surprise us. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=14421628 Sun, 26 Dec 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Christmas Eve Service http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=14421521 Fri, 24 Dec 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Everybody likes good news. I've never met anyone who wants bad news. Sometimes good news for one person isn't necessarily good news for someone else. The Bible tells us of good news that is for all the people. This is what the angel said to the shepherds in Bethlehem. The good news is for you. And, as the carol says, "O tidings of comfort and joy." There is comfort and joy in the good news contained in the Nativity story. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=14408655 Sun, 19 Dec 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear We love the Christmas story. Christmas carols bring back memories this time of year. We may miss the message of the carols if we don't slow down and pay attention to the words. In the familiar carol "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing!" there are many theological truths. Our focus this Sunday will be on two main thoughts. 1. What was Jesus' purpose for coming to earth? 2. What qualifies Him to fulfill His purpose? http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=14395297 Sun, 12 Dec 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Are you curious? I believe we must all answer "YES" to this question. We like to know things. We want to be in the "know." And if we can know something before someone else does, then that's even better. In the story of Christmas, we find shepherds being told about some exciting news. Do you think there was some curiosity, some questions they may have had about the news about the Christ, the Messiah? The writer of the carol "What Child Is This?" had some questions...or maybe a question: What Child Is This? We will attempt to answer this question, based on what the angel said to the shepherds. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=14387218 Sun, 05 Dec 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Expectations can be disappointing. People make promises and we expect follow through, but nothing happens. What if God promised something and hundreds of years passed and it still had not come to pass? Would you stop expecting? The people of Israel had an expectation based on God's words. A Messiah, a King. But generation after generation looked for the Messiah, but never saw Him. He did come! And many missed Him. Believers are expecting Jesus to come again. Are you ready? Are you anticipating His return? Join us Sunday as we begin the Advent season by considering the Long Expected Jesus. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=14376899 Sun, 28 Nov 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Most everyone likes benefits, those things which are over and above what is generally expected. Did you know there are benefits to being God's child? King David believed there were benefits and he wrote about them. As we approach Thanksgiving, now is a fantastic time to slow down and tell God "Thank You!" for all the benefits He brings into our lives. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=14370074 Sun, 21 Nov 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Everyone of us likes peace and quiet. But how many of us like to be still? It is full of things to do, places to go and people to see. We fill our calendars with stuff and the end result is that we rarely are still. King David came to understand the benefits of being still. And in a Psalm, it seems he writes an admonition to himself and to whomever would read his Psalm that is vital to be still. As we enter an especially busy time of the year, it's important that we are still before the Lord. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=14002059 Sun, 14 Nov 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Have you ever disagreed with someone? A spouse, child, neighbor, co-worker, brother or sister in Christ? How did you handle it? Disagreements are common in life. And the church is not exempt from differing opinions and disagreements. Often, disagreements within the church are over matters which are opinions or preferences, rather than Biblical principles. And these differences can result in disunity. Scripture calls followers of Jesus Christ to be unified. Does the Scripture give us practical ways to remain unified in the midst of disagreement? See you Sunday to find out. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=13990457 Sun, 07 Nov 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Neil Estep Do you see yourself as a disciple, or a disciple maker? Do you currently feel like you are being discipled by others? This week we will talk about our role in the disciple maker/disciple relationship and how it impacts our walk while following Christ. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=13553404 Sun, 24 Oct 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Jamie Krenz How do you think about your home? Surveying the whole of Scripture, we find the people of God are consistently encouraged and commanded to practice hospitality by inviting people into their homes. Hospitality is central to lifestyle discipleship. Join us Sunday as we talk about why. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=13545728 Sun, 17 Oct 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Matt Kingshott In our first sermon of the Lifestyle Discipleship series, we studied The Great Mission from Jesus. He commanded us to go out and make disciples. Before we can take up this commission there are a few basics that we should have in place. This week we will dig deeper into their basic Biblical truths and set a plan in place to ready ourselves for what He has in store for us. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=13537144 Sun, 10 Oct 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Our Lord Jesus left His disciples (then and now) with a critical mission. It's possible that some take His mission as a suggestion rather than a command. The reality is, we HAVE been given a command, and the Master intends for us to fulfill His command. We've got a mission to accomplish. Will you obey the Commander's command? http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=13527217 Sun, 03 Oct 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear We recently looked at the truth about knowing Jesus. Have you ever thought about the fact that God knows you? When you stop to consider this, it's a pretty amazing fact. God, the Creator of the universe, knows you. And, even more, He loves you. Join us as we work our way through Psalm 139. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=13518659 Sun, 26 Sep 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear & Jamie Krenz Heritage Day Celebration! Service begins at 10:45 am, lunch to follow! http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=13513571 Sun, 19 Sep 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Jamie Krenz We are very familiar with the limits of human authority. We have jurisdictions, districts, chains of command, defined roles and responsibilities. All of these set limits on a person's authority. However, there is one person who has unlimited authority. The authority Jesus has over all things is the heart of Paul's message in the passage we're going to look at Sunday morning. Join us Sunday as we exalt Jesus Christ as Lord over all things. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=13503630 Sun, 12 Sep 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Do you know Christ or do you just know ABOUT Christ? I believe the answer to that question has eternal implications. It is not an uncommon reality for people to know ABOUT Christ, thinking they actually know Christ. However, when one looks at their life, no life change is obvious. To know Christ is to be transformed. Join us Sunday as we explore the topic of knowing Christ. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=13495858 Sun, 05 Sep 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Did you know you are not the only one who has to walk through wilderness moments? Your neighbor does too. When you discover your neighbor is walking through wilderness, how do you treat them? Do you view them as valuable? Do they need you? Jesus gives us an illustration of how to respond when our neighbor is in wilderness. Our lesson is this: We need wilderness connections. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=13488701 Sun, 29 Aug 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear When we walk through the wilderness experiences of life, it seems we NEED a lot. Perhaps too often our wants slip over into needs. And when we don't get what we want it's easy to become angry or frustrated. But what if the truth is we have everything we need in the wilderness...if the Shepherd is with us? I believe David discovered this to be a reality. This Sunday, we will look at Psalm 23 and find that with the Shepherd, we can have wilderness without wanting. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=13474483 Sun, 22 Aug 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear What do people see in you as you are walking through the wilderness? Anger? Bitterness? Gentleness? Sweetness? Can you, do you, trust God when you are in the wilderness? The wilderness truly reveals who we are. Is it possible that the wilderness is a faith witness to those around us? We will look at the life of David and one of his wilderness experiences to learn about wilderness and faith witness. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=13465330 Sun, 15 Aug 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Have you ever been to the desert...a real desert? It's pretty impressive! Dry, barren, rugged and HOT! Have you ever had a desert experience in your life, where challenges and difficulties seemed to be the "new normal?" Maybe it was a spiritually dry time where God seemed to be distant. Whatever the case, we all have gone through personal desert experiences. The Bible has many stories which are directly connected to the desert. There are lessons we can learn from desert experiences. God can use our wilderness experiences to teach us and shape us. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=13459118 Sun, 08 Aug 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Do you realize that to become a follower of Christ means you are entering a battle? Everyone who is "in Christ" has a mortal enemy who is determined to defeat us. His name is Satan. But God, in His grace and mercy, has not left us unequipped for battle. He has provided us with armor so that we can stand when the enemy wages war. Our responsibility is to Armor Up! http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=13452873 Sun, 01 Aug 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Work. Maybe not your favorite word. But all of us are to do it. Work is a biblical ethic. Paul addresses the slaves and masters in Ephesus and, in essence, tells them that as Spirit-filled believers, the workplace should be positively impacted. No longer were they to behave in the workplace as they did before knowing Christ. The application for us today is Employers and Employees. We will discover that being "in Christ" will impact the workplace, whether one is an employer or employee. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=13445372 Sun, 25 Jul 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:00:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Everyone has their own ideas about family and raising children. Our own upbringing ha no doubt influenced the way we, as parents, parent. It's likely that at some point, every parent wishes there was a detailed manual on raising children and on how to be a good parent. There is no set formula. However, the Bible does have basic principles which can be put into practice so that we raise our Children for Christ. Join us as we study Ephesians 6:1-4. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=13435596 Sun, 18 Jul 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:41:24 Pastor Rocky Spear In the context of being "in Christ" and living under the control of the Holy Spirit, the Apostle Paul shares his Spirit-inspired words on marriage. How does a Spirit-filled husband and wife live within the covenant of marriage? What Paul teaches may surprise you. He likes the word "submit." It may not be what you think it is. In this letter from Paul, we will see the connection between marriage and the Church. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=12231424 Sun, 11 Jul 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:38:53 Pastor Rocky Spear "Who's in charge?" This is a question that is often asked when there is chaos happening in a particular situation. We like to know the answer to this question so we can either (a) Know who to complain to, or (b) Get an answer. When it comes to our lives, God wants to e in control of them. Not necessarily so we can complain, but so we can have the right answers for life. When His Holy Spirit is the controller of our lives, we will be able to live in alignment with God's plan for us. I ask you, "Who's in charge?" http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=12231402 Sun, 04 Jul 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:36:35 Pastor Vic Collins Saying "Yes" to Jesus' call to "Go therefore and make disciples..."opens up a whole new world for the follower of Christ. Unexpected blessings and joy come with disciple making. This Sunday, we will discuss what most Christians in America are missing...the joy that comes with making disciples. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=12198278 Sun, 27 Jun 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:35:31 Pastor Rocky Spear Do you remember this Sunday School song "This Little Light Of Mine?" Are you letting your light shine? Paul teaches that we are the children of light and we are to live that way. The world around us needs the light, so we must "leave the light on" if we are going to make a difference. I invite you to read Ephesians 5:1-14, in preparation for Sunday's message. As you read it, ask yourself these two questions: Am I imitating God? Is my light shining? http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=12188739 Sun, 20 Jun 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:40:47 Neil Estep PAY ATTENTION!! :) The last section of Ephesians is full of instructions from Paul about how to live our lives, following Christ. There is a difference between how we used to live, how the world lives, and how a Christian lives. We are to give up our old ways and the things that hold us back, and instead live like Christ. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=12181398 Sun, 13 Jun 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:34:58 Jamie Krenz In Chapter 4 Paul moves from discussing all that God has already done, and moves on to instructing the Ephesians on the appropriate response to God's work. He addresses the church as a whole, urging them to live worthy of their call by remaining one unified body of believers. We too need to live worthy of our call and in order to do that, Paul says each supporting ligament needs to do their part. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=12174618 Sun, 06 Jun 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:29:52 Pastor Rocky Spear It is not possible to live the Christ life in our own strength. Paul had a great understanding of this. In his letter to the Ephesian believers, he points them to the One who enables us to live it. And he tells them he is praying for them. His prayer is for power in their lives to bring glory to God. That power is found as the Holy Spirit has control. As the Spirit enables us, Christ then dwells in, comes to be at home in, our hearts. You and I need the Spirit's power each and every day. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=12166791 Sun, 30 May 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:43:11 Pastor Rocky Spear Generally speaking, we are curious people. We like to get the scoop and be the first to know. Paul had been given information which was life-changing, especially for the Gentiles. It would have been life-altering to the Jews, too. Could Jews and Gentiles actually come together in unity? Could the Gentiles have the same privileges as the Jews? What would a unified church look like? All of this is part of the Mystery Revealed. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=12159856 Sun, 23 May 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:49:13 Pastor Rocky Spear There has been much news and debate over illegal aliens in the United States the last few years. And there are varied opinions on the subject. But did you know the Bible speaks of aliens? It reveals that each of us, by birth are aliens. Not aliens of a particular country, but aliens when it comes to citizenship in God's Kingdom. As such, we have no access to God. But God has done something to change our status from "alien" to "citizen." No longer do we need to be an alien. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=12152277 Sun, 16 May 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:36:40 Pastor Rocky Spear Have you ever stopped to reflect on the past? It may bring a wide range of feelings and emotions. You may be proud or embarrassed by the past. It's not wise to live in the past. However, from time to time, it may be good for us to remember where we came from. (I don't mean our family heritage.). Paul is calling the Ephesian believers to remember their past. He calls them "dead." That's how they were. But something had changed. They were now alive in Christ. Are you dead or alive? Join us as we explore this portion of Scripture. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=12143385 Sun, 09 May 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:37:55 Steve Fish Outreach Sunday Present yourself before God and every person is the same. Sinners, yes, but more so blessed. We will look together at God's original call to Abram and find that Christ followers stand in an unbroken line of God's blessing. We have yet to fully embrace the blessing we have become to others. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=11303066 Sun, 18 Apr 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:16:56 Pastor Rocky Spear The Apostle Paul had great affection for these believers in Ephesus, some of which he knew, and others, not so much. In this section of his letter, Paul tells them he regularly remembers them in prayer, and then he shares with them three specific requests he prays for them. Each of his requests are intended to be encouragement for these believers living in pagan culture. You will see that Paul's prayer is also a prayer that is beneficial for us to pray, as we are also living in a pagan culture. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=10870457 Sun, 11 Apr 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:40:49 Pastor Rocky Spear Sunday marks the beginning of Passion Week or Holy Week. This week brings with joy and excitement and ends with surprise and rejoicing. But in between two Sundays is a week of teaching, confrontation, betrayal, denial, agony and death. On Sunday, we will take the time to walk along with Jesus at various stops during the week leading to Crucifixion. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=10238713 Sun, 28 Mar 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:42:50 Pastor Rocky Spear This Sunday we will continue looking at the spiritual blessings we have if we are "in Christ." If you recall, Paul lists 7 spiritual blessings which are realities for every person who has placed their faith in Christ. Last Sunday we look at at the first one, "God chose you." You won't want to miss the other six. See you Sunday! http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=10169420 Sun, 21 Mar 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:37:30 Pastor Rocky Spear Isn't it amazing that God would choose to bless us? This reality motivated Paul to praise God. In this section of his letter to the Ephesians, Paul lists several spiritual blessings that are ours as a result of us being "in Christ." In this message, we will spend time looking at what it means to be "in Christ," and then conclude by looking at the first blessing Paul lists; that is: God chose us! http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=9896938 Sun, 14 Mar 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:35:47 Pastor Rocky Spear What is the metal image which comes to mind when you her the word "saint?" Do you consider yourself a saint? Would you fit that category? The Apostle Paul labels certain people in Ephesus as "saints." You might be surprised to learn that "saint" is a good description of you. Join us this Sunday as we begin a study through the letter to the Ephesians. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=9096366 Sun, 07 Mar 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:37:21 Pastor Rocky Spear Grief and loss are very closely connected. The loss which seems to impact us most is loss connected with family. The death of a family member. The break up of the family. Loss of health, finances, etc. These losses all affect the family in some manner. The question is, how do we deal with loss? The Scripture includes various narratives where individuals face loss of some kind and how they dealt with it. Join us as we tackle a sensitive, and potentially emotional subject. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=7010732 Sun, 28 Feb 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:43:04 Pastor Rocky Spear It has been wrongly said that "Money is the root of all evil." Scripture does't say that. See 1 Timothy 6:10, to verify. Money can cause struggles and problems in marriage. Money can be a source of conflict. Debt gets heavy. The Scripture gives us basic principles to apply in our lives when it comes to the finances we are given. The primary truth we must understand about money and possessions comes from the answer to this question: "Who is the owner of everything?" That question will be answered Sunday. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=6573954 Sun, 21 Feb 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:37:27 Pastor Rocky Spear Marriage...a foundational element to family. For those of us who are married, we want a happy, successful marriage. The Bible does not give us a step-by-step formula, but it does give us principles for the marriage relationship. Sunday, we will share a Word to Husbands, a Word to Wives and a Word to Husbands and Wives. In each segment, we will take a look at basic principles for marriage. WARNING: This message will be PG, at least. We plan on discussing what the Bible has to say about sexual intimacy between a husband and wife. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=6215911 Sun, 14 Feb 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:48:55 Jamie Krenz If we are honest with ourselves, I think most of us want a parenting formula. To know with certainty that if we do XYZ our kids will grow up to love Jesus. But that is not what we find in the Bible. Most of what we can glean about parenting is found in the book of Proverbs. A book dedicated to teaching the young and foolish the way of wisdom. We want a formula. Instead, God gives us wisdom. This Sunday we will look at two parenting principles from Proverbs that can guide us as we raise our kids. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=6088193 Sun, 07 Feb 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:36:12 Pastor Rocky Spear When you think "family," what comes to mind? The family is an entity created by God Himself. It is also the object of Satan's attack, making every attempt to destroy it. With no argument, the family is under siege today, and is in trouble. How have we gotten to this point? Failure to build our lives, our families, on God's foundation. Join us as we begin a brand new family series called "A Focus On The Family." This Sunday, our attention will be on God's foundation for the family. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=5205389 Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:39:37 Pastor Rocky Spear Have you ever been deceived? Doesn't feel great, does it? What was the cause of deception? You didn't know the truth. It's not a good thing to lose money because of deception, but what if eternal life was impacted because you believed a false teacher? John warns about false teachers. The admonition for us today is still the same: Watch Out! http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=3754989 Sun, 24 Jan 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:45:41 Matt Kingshott In the yer 2020, there were many topics up for debate. On a daily basis we could find ourselves discussing the day's events, politics, masks, vaccines and so much more. The question is how do we handle these discussions when someone else has a very different perspective than us? The Bible provides guidance on how to handle debates on non-Biblical issues, disagreements with other brothers ad sisters in Christ, and responding to ourselves when we have been forgiven but struggle to move on. This Sunday we invite you to join us as we study how to respond to others and ourselves. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=3098235 Sun, 17 Jan 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:34:48 Pastor Rocky Spear John presses in on the matter of "walking" in these verses. Understanding that "walking" has to do with the conduct of my life, helps give insight into how I should live. He teaches that we are to walk in truth, obedience and love. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=3086555 Sun, 10 Jan 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:38:32 Pastor Rocky Spear We hear a lot today about "fake news." We are bombarded by all kinds of social media proclaiming to be truth. But many statements on social media are contradictory to each other. And we can be left wondering, "What is truth?" Sadly, there seems to be a cultural movement suggesting that there is no absolute truth. But is there? The Apostle John believed there was absolute truth. So do I. Join us in this 3-part series addressing the importance of truth, absolute truth. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2843150 Sun, 03 Jan 2021 00:00:00 -1000 00:37:47 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2832905 Sun, 27 Dec 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:33:27 Pastor Rocky Spear Love...a word which has come to have multiple meanings. True love is something we each want to experience. We want a personal encounter with love. A question for us in this Advent season is, "Can we find love in the Christmas story?" Join us as we trace the path of love throughout the Bible which leads us to the Christmas story. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2821432 Sun, 20 Dec 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:33:11 Neil Estep What is joy? Is it different from happiness? Is there a difference between "worldly" joy and "Biblical" joy? What gives us joy, and have you experienced the joy of Christmas? Week three of Advent will focus on "Joy" and how we can have it, no matter the circumstance, as followers of Christ! http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2812435 Sun, 13 Dec 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:35:50 Pastor Rocky Spear Peace. How do you describe it? Is there some place special where you experience peace? Many of us...most of us...all of us need peace. Peace from the chaos of life. Peace from the physical and emotional challenges we face. Peace with God. Week two of Advent focuses on the word "peace." The wonderful reality is this: You and I CAN experience the Peace of Christmas. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2803376 Sun, 06 Dec 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:36:42 Pastor Rocky Spear Have you ever felt hopeless? A variety of circumstances can cause these feelings. In moments of hopelessness, where do you turn? Who do you look to for hope? There is ONE we can turn to and find hope, even in the most challenging moments of life. Join us this first Sunday of Advent to discover how you can experience the Hope of Christmas. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2793248 Sun, 29 Nov 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:33:39 Pastor Rocky Spear Why should I give thanks? We teach our children that "thank you" is a matter of courtesy. There are many reasons you and I should give God thanks. The fact is, we are commanded to give thanks. Did you know there is a Psalm titled "For giving thanks?" Let's explore that together Sunday. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2778503 Sun, 15 Nov 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:40:16 Pastor Rocky Spear The Holy Spirit has always been active in the lives of people, empowering and enabling them. In the Old Testament He empowered and enabled specific people for specific times for specific tasks. When the Holy Spirit was given on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2), there was a change in His role. Now, He lives within every believer. What does He do? Join us this Sunday as we explore the work of the Holy Spirit. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2769330 Sun, 08 Nov 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:39:46 Pastor Rocky Spear What comes to mind when you hear the words "Holy Spirit?" If the pastor said he would be teaching about the Holy Spirit, would it intrigue you or cause you to avoid THAT message? There are misconceptions with the Church about the Holy Spirit. Strange behaviors have been attributed to the Spirit. But what if those things are not biblical? Join us as we explore what the Scriptures teach about the Holy Spirit. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2760985 Sun, 01 Nov 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:33:41 Pastor Rocky Spear After looking at a synopsis of Jesus' life last week, join me in diving deeper into who others said Jesus was. Our focus will be on what the Angel of the Lord said, along with John the Baptist Apostle John, Letter to the Hebrews and the book of Revelation. Each of these individuals has something incredibly important to say about Jesus. Don't miss it! http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2754474 Sun, 25 Oct 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:35:51 Pastor Rocky Spear Who is Jesus? You probably have an answer to that question if you've grown up in the church. Something like, "He's God's Son. Mary was His mom. He grew up and lived in Israel. He did miracles. Died on a cross and rose from the dead Easter Sunday." All of which is true. Today, we will begin our look at Jesus with very familiar details. At the end of the day, we will be reminded that He is God and that He did something very wonderful so we could have eternal life. To know Him is to love Him. Could you love a God like this? http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2746393 Sun, 18 Oct 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:40:09 Pastor Rocky Spear Where is the Father? God the Father is very active. He is not simply sitting on His heaveny throne keeping an eye on things. He is active. Each Person of the Trinity is involved in the salvation of humanity. Our aim this week is to gain insight into the Father's activity on our behalf. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2740250 Sun, 11 Oct 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:34:42 Pastor Rocky Spear After taking a closer look at Who God is, we want to focus our attention on each Person of the Trinity. First of all, Who is the Father? Is He God? What does He do? What is He like? Join us Sunday as we explore the Scripture and gain insight into the Father. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2732100 Sun, 04 Oct 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:38:13 Pastor Rocky Spear Is it possible that we have come to view God too casually? Perhaps we've lost a proper sense of awe. As we take a look at the Person behind "the name of the Lord," I believe we can and should gain or regain a fresh sense of awe. And as we get to know Him better, it is reasonable to believe we will love Him more. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2722614 Sun, 27 Sep 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:40:17 Pastor Rocky Spear Do you know Who God is? How would you describe Him? Many say they "know" God or "believe" in God, but do they REALLY know Him? Join us this Sunday as we begin a series of messages in which we will take time to capture a fresh glimpse of Who God is. Let our prayer be to know Him better and to love Him more. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2714726 Sun, 20 Sep 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:37:09 Jamie Krenz Psalm 1 tells us the path to blessing is to not walk in the counsel of the wicked, but to delight in the law of the Lord. But what happens when we fall short and find ourselves in sin? Is there another path to blessing? King David would answer with a resounding YES! Join us Sunday as we walk through Psalm 32-David's personal testimony of the joy and blessing that comes when we experience God's forgiveness. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2707159 Sun, 13 Sep 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:37:00 Pastor Rocky Spear How is your passion for God? Has the pandemic had an effect on your love for God? Perhaps it has cooled off your once-strong desire. As Paul admonished Timothy to "fan into flame the gift of God," join me Sunday as I encourage each of us to fan into flame God's gift that is in us. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2699522 Sun, 06 Sep 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:37:58 Pastor Vic Collins Our final reminder this Sunday focuses on who Jesus cares about. How wide-sweeping was Jesus' atonement? Most of the world (5.4 billion people) does not believe nor care about Jesus. Does He care about them? Did He die for them? If He did, what is the sense of going to the cross for people who will never believe? But wait, maybe Jesus' atonement was limited. Maybe it was only limited to those who receive Him by faith? Which is it? Did He die for everyone or not? This Sunday come and be reminded who Jesus cares about. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2689347 Sun, 30 Aug 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:26:00 Pastor Vic Collins Our final reminder this Sunday focuses on Who Jesus Cares about. How wide-sweeping was Jesus' atonement? Most of the world (5.4 billion people) does not believe nor care about Jesus. Does He care about them? Did He die for them? If He did, what is the sense of going to the cross for people who will ever believe? But wait, maybe Jesus' atonement was limited. Maybe it was only limited to those who receive Him by faith? Which is it? Did He did for everyone or not? This Sunday come and be reminded who Jesus cares about. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2689366 Sun, 30 Aug 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:26:00 Neil Estep As followers of Christ, God expects us to do one thing...Follow His Son. Do you do this perfectly? Have you ever failed? Yes? Good news, we have examples of people just like you, who were reminded, after failing, to keep following Jesus! So come be reminded of what you are to do, by the real life example of Peter. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2680528 Sun, 23 Aug 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:45:26 Jamie Krenz We talk a lot about the command to love God and love your neighbor. Jesus said His disciples would be known by their love for one another. We're even called to radically love our enemies. The Bible is clear, love is one of the highest values of the Christian life. Come be reminded of what love is as we look at one of the most beautiful descriptions of love ever written. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2672174 Sun, 16 Aug 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:45:00 Matt Kingshott What actually is the American Dream, and is it guiding our daily lives? When we sit back and evaluate our life's desires, is it based on the American Dream? Or, are we guided by the Realities embedded in the Bible? When we choose to live a life modeled after Christ we find that it is not what some Americans or people around the world desire. It's hard work and choice of dying to one's self every day to live for Him. Our reminders this week are about how we should live a life led by Biblical Realities as stated in the Great Commission, wisdom from Paul and so much more. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2660109 Sun, 09 Aug 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:45:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Reminders...sometimes the things we are reminded of are not that pleasant. Other times, the reminders are refreshing, pleasant and comforting. Reminders do not reveal new things to us, but rather bring to mind something we already know, but maybe have forgotten. It's good for us to have our memory jogged once in a while. This Sunday, we begin a 5-part series entitled "Reminders." http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2656098 Sun, 02 Aug 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:45:00 Pastor Rocky Spear Do you know where you fit within the local congregation of believers? What are your gifts and abilities? We are called the "Body of Christ" and the Body is comprised of multiple parts which must work together. Knowing where you fit and functioning as you were designed to function is vital to the effectiveness of the local church (Body of Christ). The Apostle Paul gives us a lot to think about in 1 Corinthians 12, as he talks about the Body and its various parts. What part of the Body are you? http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2414327 Sun, 15 Mar 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:39:02 Pastor Rocky Spear Have you ever wondered who is in charge of the church? We all may have ideas or opinions about who is in charge. Is it the pastor, the board or the congregation? What if the answer is "none of the above?" As we continue in our "We Are The Church" series, let's explore together what the Bible has to say about Who is in charge of the church. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2398085 Sun, 08 Mar 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:39:02 Pastor Rocky Spear Have you ever stopped to ask yourself, "Who or What is the church?" If someone were to ask you that question, do you have a good, biblical answer? The answer to the question may surprise some. This Sunday, we begin a 5-part series examining the topic of the church. Make plans to be present at "the church" each Sunday. You don't want to miss something important. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2390218 Sun, 01 Mar 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:40:05 Pastor Rocky Spear You and I have been given the responsibility, as followers of Christ, to share the Message of the Gospel. Not everyone who hears the Message will believe. However, it is incredibly important that we are sharing the RIGHT Message. The right Message is the truth about Jesus Christ (The Gospel). Those who hear and believe are in a great position to place their faith in Jesus, call upon Him and be saved. We MUST have the right Message! http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2382030 Sun, 23 Feb 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:33:41 Pastor Rocky Spear The Jewish religious leaders had complicated what it meant to be righteous. They had added to the Law given to Moses by God and made their own laws. Paul seems to be correcting this error. He lets us know in this letter that salvation is for all who believes and God did not make it complicated. Join us as we explore this incredible truth. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2370137 Sun, 16 Feb 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:41:54 Pastor Rocky Spear Disappointment: Something each and every one of us are familiar with. If you've not experienced it, just wait a short time and you will. Is there One who might never disappoint us? The Apostle Paul seems to think so. Join us as we take a look at the truth that Jesus will never disappoint us, even though we may have disappointments in this life. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2360975 Sun, 09 Feb 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:44:06 Neil Estep Death is all around us, all the time. Jesus tells Martha (and us) that "whoever believes in Me shall never die" and then asks her if she "believes this?" Do we do a good job of showing others this in our day to day lives? As followers of Christ we should live life confidently; pointing others towards the love of God and the truth of Christ! http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2350293 Sun, 02 Feb 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:44:06 Matthew Kingshott Throughout the course of our lives there will be times when we feel offended or we may offend someone else. Offenses are much more difficult to handle when they are from someone close to us. We work and process our way through petty offenses and situations that can create a spiritual anger. In Mark 6:1-6, Jesus shares an example of how we can handle offenses with Christians, and honestly, everyone! We will also study several ways to resolve an offense from various pieces of scripture in the Bible. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2339520 Sun, 26 Jan 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:34:33 Pastor Rocky Spear As parents, it's kind of nice to say, "Because I said so" or "Because I can." We kind of like being the "final authority." But we don't necessaarily like it when we see God making choices that we don't like, and He didn't ask our opinion about it. In this next section of Paul's letter he addresses a couple of issues. First, the seriousness of not knowing Jesus, and second, God's sovereign choices. Here's a question for you: Are you okay with God's choices? http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2327050 Sun, 19 Jan 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:32:16 Pastor Rocky Speaqr Everyone likes someone to be for them, to be on their side. Can you believe God is on your side? We are entering a brand new year. If you knew God was for you and not against you, what difference would it make as you faced this year? Paul is very clear in his teaching that God is for us. His love is unfailing. Nothing will stop God from loving us. He is on our side! http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2296127 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 00:00:00 -1000 00:34:30 Pastor Rocky Spear We are coming to the end of a year and the end of a decade. Year end is always a good time to reflect over the past 12 months. What has happened in my life? What lessons have I learned? What would I do differently? These and many more questions may come to mind. Join us as we countdown to 2020 with 5 things to remember. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2276022 Sun, 29 Dec 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:38:04 Pastor Rocky Spear Christmas time allows us a great opportunity to take a closer look at Jesus. When we see Him for Who He is, we realize He is not just another... Scripture reveals that Jesus is a King. But is He just another king or is there something that makes Him stand apart from all others? Join us as we journey through the Scriptures again to see that Jesus is not just another...king. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2270921 Sun, 22 Dec 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:32:14 Pastor Rocky Spear We can easily get caught up in admiration and intrigue of certain powerful or influential individuals. Maybe we slip into thinking that they are super human or bigger than life. What about Jesus? Who is He? Is He just another man? We will discover the answer to this question. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2247314 Sun, 15 Dec 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:33:38 Pastor Rocky Spear Savior and Lord, both terms are thrown around quite often in church circles. Do we know what they mean? When one looks at the story of Jesus, we see something common in the months leading up to His birth and in the immediate time after His birth. What we discover is that He is Not Just Another...Baby. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2236496 Sun, 08 Dec 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:34:50 Pastor Rocky Spear Who can God use to accomplish His plans? In perhaps the biggest plan for the human race, God chose who we might consider highly unlikely individuals to play a significant role in the master plan. A craftsman and a virgin girl from a tiny little burg in a small Middle East country. You and I probably would not have chosen to use who God did. As we look at the opening scenes of the birth of Jesus, we will learn a very important lesson: God can use you! http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2222365 Sun, 01 Dec 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:34:33 Pastor Rocky Spear Thanksgiving. It's a specific time set aside to remember to give thanks for the blessings of life given to us by God. Just how thankful are you? Sadly, I find it easy to take those closest to me for granted and sometimes fail to say "thanks." Sunday, we will give you an opportunity to express your "thanks" to those who make Sunday miistry and all other ministries happen at Kilpatrick Church. We don't want to ever take our incredible volunteers for granted. Be prepared to share publicly something you are thankful to God for that took place in 2019. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2209528 Sun, 24 Nov 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:32:07 Pastor Rocky Spear As we wrap up the YAFI series, we want to address the issue of taking another's life. Doe the Bible have anything to say about this? What about war time killing? Law enforcement? The Bible is not silent. Our final question will have to do with salvation. Can grudges or unforgiveness impact our salvation? That is the question. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2196857 Sun, 17 Nov 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:44:24 Pastor Rocky Spear In John 20, Jesus said to His disciples, "Receive the Holy Spirit." Was this different from the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost? Is there an explanation for this? The Apostle's Creed states that Jesus "descended into hell." Did Jesus actually go to hell following His death? We will see. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2178705 Sun, 10 Nov 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:36:11 Pastor Rocky Spear Life brings with it both sorrow and loneliness. Because of brokenness due to sin, these things will impact us. Does the Bible address these issues? If so, what does the Bible say? We will look at some practical ways to deal with these two troubling issues of life. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2167246 Sun, 03 Nov 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:35:32 Pastor Rocky Spear As we journey through the Christian life, there are basic truths which are beneficial to know. These basic truths are not necessarily simple, nor easy to understand, but they are helpful as we grow in our faith. The answers to the questions asked for this message fall into the category of "basic." Come, let's learn or be reminded of basic truth of Scripture. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2153574 Sun, 27 Oct 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:41:02 Neil Estep Do you like to wait? What if it's God asking you to wait? Do you know what God wants for your life and how He wants you to live? Do you forgive as He forgave you? This message will cover questions asked regarding these things and we will look to the Bible to see what God wats for each and every one of us. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2139538 Sun, 20 Oct 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:35:50 Pastor Rocky Spear The Bible speaks to us in a very straightforward way about sexuality. We can learn from the Scripture what is appropriate sexual behavior God says is sin. In a culture that seems to be enamored with sexuality, it is vital that we, as believers, know and have Biblical sexual practices. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2124250 Sun, 13 Oct 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:39:11 Pastor Rocky Spear Perception is often reality to the person perceiving, even though the perception may be incorrect. What does the non-believing world think about us, as believers? Do they have a perception that is accurate? This message will look at how we interact with fellow-believers, as well as taking a closer view of what the world may think of us and what we can do to change that view...if it's inaccurate. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2101689 Sun, 06 Oct 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:31:09 Pastor Rocky Spear In life, there are a few uncomfortable topics to discuss. One of which is death. As we move along in our YAFI series, we will attempt to look into the Scriptures to see what we can learn about death. One thing we can know for certain is that none of us will get out of here alive (unless Jesus returns first). In this message we will discover what the Bible has to say about the human soul and learn whether or not original sin has impacted the soul of humans. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2091241 Sun, 29 Sep 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:35:25 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2075375 Sun, 22 Sep 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:35:28 Pastor Rocky Spear The study of the End Times is very intriguing to many people. Curiosity raises questions like, "When will the end of times occur?" "Is there going to be a Rapture?" "If there is a Rapture, when will it occur?" Then there are questions about the Great Tribulation, the antichrist, the Battle of Armageddon and many other details. What, if anything, does the Bible have to say about the End Times? That's the basic question we want to address this Sunday. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2057527 Sun, 15 Sep 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:31:46 Jamie Krenz In 1 Timothy 4, Paul encourages Timothy to focus on what matters - training himself in godliness. By making the comparison between physical training and spiritual training, Paul is making this point; training in godliness should not only be a pursuit of knowledge, but a process that results in the practice of godly living. This is an evergreen instruction for every Believer. Regardless of age or where you are in your relationship with Jesus, you can become more godly. Join us this Sunday as we breakdown three training requirements that must be met if we want to grow in godliness. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2045783 Sun, 08 Sep 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:35:20 Pastor Rocky Spear The disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to pray. Wouldn't it be an honor to have Jesus teach you to pray? Consider yourself honored...because Jesus has given us a pattern for prayer . Would you like to learn to pray in a fresh way, moving you beyond the "same-o" prayers you've been praying? What if Jesus has a pattern of prayer that is focused more on seeking God than it is on presenting requests? Join us as we study a refreshing pattern of prayer. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2031322 Sun, 01 Sep 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:44:51 Neil Estep This week we will explore the miracle of "Jesus feeds the five thousand" in John, and look at what had happened up to that point and what happens the day after. Do we ever find ourselves acting like the people who followed Jesus across a sea, so desperate for Him, just to ask for more bread? What was His response? What does it mean? How do we live our lives when He truly is our "Bread of Life?" http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2024071 Sun, 25 Aug 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:38:36 Pastor Vic Collins Has God ever supplied beyond your expectation? Probably so, but a Shepherd King that produces healing, teaching, changing weather patterns, casting out thousands of demons, raising the dead and feeding over 5,000 people went way beyond the Messianic expectations of the captivated crowd and dumbfounded disciples. The Gospel of Mark drives home the essential principle of multiplication at the core of the Kingdom of God and invites us to be a part of this life perpetuating theme Jesus reveals to His disciples. This Messiah is a multiplier beyond expectation. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2011138 Sun, 18 Aug 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:35:59 Matt Kingshott Throughout our daily lives there are times when we experience doubts. These can range from small and insignificant to serious and life changing. When Jesus fed the 5,000, can you imagine the disciples response as He told them they would feed all who had gathered? Do you think they had their doubts? What began as doubts quickly turned into faith in what Christ can do with us, and through us. Join us as we study what's in the basket God has provided each and everyone of us! http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=2001250 Sun, 11 Aug 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:36:39 Jamie Krenz Jesus' miracles seem to always have two layers. There's the obvious first physical layer and a second layer meant to teach and shape the faith of His disciples. When we look at the Feeding of the 5,000, we see Jesus brilliantly take an opportunity to meet a felt physical need while simultaneously pointing to an even deeper spiritual truth: He is the Bread of LIfe sent from heaven. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1990770 Sun, 04 Aug 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:37:55 Pastor Rocky Spear Is God good? Does He have a plan? God's plan doesn't always align with our plan. His goodness may look a bit different than what we think it should. Could it be that God has a plan for our lives which extends beyond our earthly experience? This passage of Scripture may help us accept and desire God's plan more than ever, once we understand His purpose for our lives. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1979694 Sun, 28 Jul 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:31:51 Pastor Rocky Spear Hope. What is it? Biblical hope is somewhat different than the hope we often talk about. "I hope this or that happens." Biblical hope is assurance or confidence. What hope do we have as believers? Romans 8:18-27 gives us an idea of what we hope for. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1969026 Sun, 21 Jul 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:35:04 Pastor Rocky Spear Do you realize who you are as a believer? Your standing with God is amazing! One of the incredible benefits of living under the control of the Spirit is that you are a child of God. Great blessings are ours because we are His children. We can have confidence of our eternal destiny, as children of God. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1956059 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:36:36 Pastor Rocky Spear Much has been said about the mind. How we think impacts our actions. More importantly, who is in control of our mind impacts the way we think. Paul addresses the mind and the controller of the mind. The controller is extremely vital to our eternal destiny. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1949327 Sun, 07 Jul 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:33:42 Pastor Rocky Spear What does it mean to be "in Christ?" Are there benefits which come to us if we are "in Christ?" The Apostle Paul switches gears in Romans 8 from doctrine to practice. It is in chapter 8 we begin seeing more and more about the Holy Spirit's role in our lives. The Holy Spirit's authority in our lives goes hand-in-hand with us being "in Christ." http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1946320 Sun, 30 Jun 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:31:24 Pastor Rocky Spear Have you ever tried to do something and no matter how you tried, you failed? Perhaps you've tried to live the Christian life and it seemed like the things you wanted to do, you didn't, and the things you didn't want to do you did. Is that normal? Is the Christian life just a series of one defeat after another? What if there is a better way? Are you trying to live the Christian life, pleasing God, in your own strength? You can't do that! http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1928658 Sun, 23 Jun 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:31:24 Pastor Michael Caley John 17 http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1920537 Sun, 16 Jun 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:38:32 Pastor Victor Collins This is Pentecost Sunday! But what is Pentecost and why is it important? We will throw a little birthday party for the Church and look at what Pentecost is, how God fulfilled His promise, what the Holy Spirit does, the proof of Pentecost and the radical change in the life of Jesus' disciples after they receive the Holy Spirit. So, join us for the celebration. Happy Birthday Church! http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1906346 Sun, 09 Jun 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:37:40 Pastor Rocky Spear In our daily lives, we often "put out the old" and "bring in the new." It's a basic practice of life. It's interesting that God does the same thing. In the Old Testament, He established His law as the way for the people to understand what He wanted for them. His law had many details, and could not be satisfactorily kept. It was simply an illustration of what was coming in Jesus. Jesus provided a "new way" for us to be in relationship with God. Now, Paul is pushing that we must be "out with the old" in order to come "in with the new." And the new way of life is spectacular! We can please God. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1896136 Sun, 02 Jun 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:39:24 Pastor Rocky Spear Everyone wants to be their own boss. But the reality is, everyone will serve someone. None of us are our own master. Paul makes that very clear in this passage, as he speaks to the Roman church and us about slavery and freedom. Our eternal destination and ultimate happiness depends on who our master is. "Paul, what kind of slave should I be?" I think he would answer, "Be a free slave." Who are you serving? http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1887580 Sun, 26 May 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:32:38 Pastor Rocky Spear Death is probably one of the least favorite topics to be discussed. Yet, when it comes to our relationship with God, the Scripture has quite a bit of "death" language. In this portion of Scripture, Paul very clearly makes statements about us being dead or crucified. But, he also talks about life. He says we can live a "new life." Could it be that in order to be a follower of Jesus Christ, forgiven of all our sins, that God wants us both dead and alive? http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1878735 Sun, 19 May 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:33:41 Pastor Rocky Spear God in His grace has given us the ability to make choices. What we may fail to recognize, at least in the moment, is that our choices impact more than just us. The truth is, one choice on my part has the likelihood of having an effect on many people. There is power in a choice. The Apostle Paul shows his readers how one choice by one man negatively impacted the whole world. And then he goes on to explain how the choice of one Man has the power to reverse the choice of the first man. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1871070 Sun, 12 May 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:39:36 Pastor Rocky Spear Does love have anything to do with our relationship with God? Paul clearly believed so and shared his belief with the Roman believers. His letter reveals things like, when God loves, who He loves, how He loves and the benefits of God's love. The simple truth is this: You and I have a choice to make when it comes to God's love. And the choice has eternal consequences. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1860038 Sun, 05 May 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:37:37 Pastor Rocky Spear There's a popular technology today called "virtual reality." Which is really unreal reality. It's all simulated. There are some who seem to enjoy living in their own fantasy world, rather than the here and now or "present reality." The Apostle Paul has been giving the Roman church quite a bit of practice or theology. Now, beginning in chapter 5, he begins to get practical. His point of emphasis is "What is true about you, Christian? Know what your present reality is." The truth is filling for us today. Do you know your identity in Christ and your present reality? http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1849874 Sun, 28 Apr 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:37:04 Pastor Rocky Spear The Passover Lamb had to die. But the Lamb was also the King. Do you believe Jesus is King? Not everyone does. Some reject Him. Others view Him with derision. But millions and millions have embraced Jesus as the King. Join us as we explore the Resurrection story looking at Jesus as King. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1841716 Sun, 21 Apr 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:36:17 Pastor Rocky Spear Jesus gave some very unusual instructions to His disciples. "Go get the donkey." Have you ever considered what might have gone through the minds of the two disciples sent into town to untie a donkey and bring it to Jesus? "This is out of my comfort zone." "This doesn't make sense." "This is not natural for me to do this." What if Jesus asked you to go get a donkey? Will you trust Him and get the donkey? It's highly likely that God will ask us to do some things in this life that we won't understand. When He does, our response should be to go get the donkey. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1833335 Sun, 14 Apr 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:59:01 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1824286 Sun, 07 Apr 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:59:01 Multiple Speakers http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1815344 Sun, 31 Mar 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:59:01 Pastor Rocky Spear Deuteronomy 5:15a & 8:2 There are so many things we need to and should remember, yet somehow, we often forget things. Some are important and other things we forget really aren't that big fo a deal. From time to time for the church, it's vital that we be called to remember who we are and why we exist, what our mission is and what steps we will take to accomplish our mission. Moses called the nation of Israel to remember where they had come from and what God had done for them. I want to share with you some things that are good for us to remember and then talk about a few ways we will attempt to accomplish the mission. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1799633 Sun, 24 Mar 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:41:24 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1787231 Sun, 17 Mar 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:31:27 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1778983 Sun, 10 Mar 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:37:56 Jamie Krenz http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1770396 Sun, 03 Mar 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:39:05 Pastor Victor Collins http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1761507 Sun, 24 Feb 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:39:05 Neil Estep http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1750352 Sun, 17 Feb 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:39:54 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1740497 Sun, 10 Feb 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:41:17 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1732369 Sun, 03 Feb 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:35:01 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1722160 Sun, 27 Jan 2019 00:00:00 -1000 03:22:04 Matt Kingshott http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1709963 Sun, 20 Jan 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:38:30 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1698202 Sun, 13 Jan 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:37:56 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1685788 Sun, 06 Jan 2019 00:00:00 -1000 00:44:52 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1676988 Sun, 30 Dec 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:47:39 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1668231 Sun, 23 Dec 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:30:07 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1658540 Sun, 16 Dec 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:37:16 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1644757 Sun, 09 Dec 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:37:06 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1637098 Sun, 02 Dec 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:35:25 Bishop Todd Fetters http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1625923 Sun, 25 Nov 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:37:15 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1619688 Sun, 18 Nov 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:43:22 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1600578 Sun, 11 Nov 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:35:32 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1593988 Sun, 04 Nov 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:41:44 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1580581 Sun, 28 Oct 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:37:21 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1580549 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:43:31 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1563235 Sun, 14 Oct 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:34:49 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1552546 Sun, 07 Oct 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:41:29 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1539482 Sun, 30 Sep 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:30:10 Pastor Rocky Spear Transparency, a word that may make us a bit uncomfortable. Especially when someone tells us something we would rather not know. Maybe a sin or wrong they have done. But at other times, transparency can be an encouragement to us. It allows us to realize that other people deal with the same types of issues we deal with. Paul was an open book to the Roman believers. He was very transparent. This week we examine Paul's "open book" life and see how we can live the same kind of life, one that reflects the real us. http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1528841 Sun, 23 Sep 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:39:24 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1523327 Sun, 16 Sep 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:41:30 Jamie Krenz http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1510435 Sun, 09 Sep 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:34:49 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1500078 Sun, 02 Sep 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:49:38 Jerry Coleman http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1488195 Sun, 26 Aug 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:47:39 Jerry Coleman http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1488106 Sat, 25 Aug 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:47:39 Pastor Vic Collins http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1477510 Sun, 19 Aug 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:36:36 Matthew Kingshott http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1467297 Sun, 12 Aug 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:33:27 Neil Estep http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1457314 Sun, 05 Aug 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:33:27 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1448936 Sun, 29 Jul 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:31:34 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1434338 Sun, 22 Jul 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:36:33 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1423371 Sun, 15 Jul 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:42:58 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1410105 Sun, 08 Jul 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:37:55 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1400274 Sun, 01 Jul 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:39:17 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1388923 Sun, 24 Jun 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:41:42 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1377634 Sun, 17 Jun 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:42:24 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1377602 Sun, 10 Jun 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:42:24 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1377570 Sun, 03 Jun 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:39:00 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1345163 Sun, 27 May 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:33:04 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1329615 Sun, 20 May 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:42:03 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1329933 Sun, 13 May 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:44:48 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1331921 Sun, 06 May 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:40:29 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1331931 Sun, 29 Apr 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:43:28 Matthew Kingshott http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1331942 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:42:46 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1332279 Sun, 08 Apr 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:44:30 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1333256 Sun, 01 Apr 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:36:40 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1333290 Sun, 25 Mar 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:40:23 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1377699 Sun, 18 Feb 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:41:29 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1377663 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:41:29 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1333319 Sun, 28 Jan 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:40:59 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1333355 Sun, 21 Jan 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:44:12 Pastor Rocky Spear http://kilpatrickchurch.com/media/audio-messages?id=1333388 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 00:00:00 -1000 00:44:12
