In Genesis 15, Abram wrestles with fear, unanswered questions, and waiting on God’s promises. This message reminds us that even in moments of uncertainty, God is still faithful to what He has spoken. As we trust Him, protect what He’s placed in us, and hold onto His promises, we discover that God’s plans are always greater than what we can see.

In Genesis 14, we see that the real test isn’t just how we handle the battle, but how we handle the victory. Abram chose to give God the glory, not himself. This message challenges us to recognize that everything we have belongs to God, calling us to live with gratitude, surrender, and trust. When we remember His faithfulness and refuse to take control, we position ourselves to live like God can do it again. To learn more or give to our church visit keystonenorth.church

In Genesis 14, we see how small decisions shape big outcomes—Lot drifted toward Sodom little by little, and it led him into captivity. This message reminds us that sin doesn’t happen all at once; it steals little by little. But the good news is that God’s grace restores lot by lot. Through Abraham’s rescue, we see a picture of Jesus—the One who comes after us, redeems what was lost, and gives us more than we ever had before.

In Genesis 13, we see two different ways of seeing—Lot chose by sight, but Abram trusted God’s perspective. This message challenges us to examine what we’re looking for, reminding us that if we only follow what we see, we’ll miss what God is doing. But when we trust Him and see through His promises, we step into something greater than what’s right in front of us. To learn more or give to our church visit keystonenorth.church

In Genesis 12, Abram is called to leave what’s familiar and step into the unknown. This message reminds us that when God says go, staying is not an option. Even when the journey is uncertain or difficult, we can trust that God’s plans are good—and our obedience may impact more people than we realize.

In this Easter message, we see the contrast between Babel and the gospel—humanity striving to reach heaven, and God coming down to us through Jesus. What we say and who we follow matters. Through Christ’s life, death, and resurrection, God is calling a people to Himself from every nation. Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

This message calls us to remember the holiness of God, examine the patterns in our lives, and recognize that like Noah, it’s faith and obedience that set us apart. When the storm comes, we don’t survive by our own strength—God is the One who shuts us in, seals us, and saves. To learn more or give to our church visit keystonenorth.church

In Genesis 4, we’re confronted with a deeper question—what’s really behind your door? This message explores how Cain’s offering revealed the condition of his heart, reminding us that true worship is more than outward actions. As we reflect on our time, talents, and treasures, we’re invited to deal with what’s beneath the surface, respond rightly to who God is, and allow His mercy and loving correction to shape our hearts.

Listen in as Esteban and Pastor Chris walk us through Genesis 1-3!

In Genesis 3, we see the moment everything changed. The enemy first attacks trust—planting doubt about God’s goodness and His Word. This message explores how broken trust leads to broken actions, why guarding our hearts matters, and how deception begins when we believe the lie that God is withholding something from us. To learn more or give to our church visit keystonenorth.church

In this message, we continue our study through Genesis and look at God’s intentional design in creation. Genesis 1 reveals that humanity is uniquely created in the image of God, and that God intentionally created male and female as part of His good design. As culture increasingly redefines identity, this message points us back to Scripture and reminds us that our identity and value come from the Creator who designed us with purpose.

As we begin our study of Genesis, we start where the Bible starts — with God. In Genesis 1, we see the power and authority of His Word: when He speaks, things change. Creation is intentional, we are not accidents, and our trust belongs in the One whose ways are higher than ours. His Word has weight, and it still speaks life today.To learn more or give to our church visit keystonenorth.church

In Acts 27, Paul faces a violent storm—but the greater danger isn’t just the wind, it’s apathy. This message reveals how storms expose what we’ve been leaning on, strip away false comfort, and teach us God’s steadfastness. When everything feels uncertain, we anchor ourselves in the truth that the outcome belongs to God. To learn more or give to our church visit keystonenorth.church

In Acts 21, Paul chooses obedience even when it leads toward suffering. This message challenges us to listen when it’s hard, trust when we don’t understand, and follow Jesus when it costs us something. True discipleship means surrendering our will and saying, “Lord, Your will be done.” To learn more or give to our church visit keystonenorth.church

listen in as Esteban and Pastor Chris talk through how we can strive for unity as the world is not.

In Acts 20, Paul gives a sobering charge to the elders to protect the house of God. This message reminds us that the foundation of the church is the gospel, the leader of the house is God, and the enemy is real. As believers, we are called to stay alert, hold fast to the whole counsel of God, and faithfully guard what Christ purchased with His own blood.

Listen in as Estee and Pastor Chris talk everything HOLY SPIRIT!

In Acts 1 and Acts 19, we see that life with Jesus was never meant to be lived without the power of the Holy Spirit. This message invites believers to examine their openness to the Spirit, to ask for more of God, and to fully surrender themselves to His work. As followers of Christ, we are called to be continually filled, empowered, and sent as His witnesses.To learn more or give to our church visit keystonenorth.church

Are we truly following Jesus—or just using His name? In Acts 19, the story of the seven sons of Sceva exposes the danger of trying to access God’s power without a real relationship with Him. Their attempt to name-drop Jesus ends in humiliation and leaves us with a sobering question for today’s church: do we know Jesus, or do we just know about Him? This message challenges cultural Christianity, reminding us that God’s power flows through surrendered lives—not religious performance. Like an inflatable tube man, we don’t move because of who we are, but because of the wind filling us. The question we’re left with is simple but important: has the gospel truly changed us, or are we just wearing the name without living the relationship?

In Acts 18, we find Paul weary, opposed, and tempted to quit—but God meets him with encouragement and promise. This message speaks to seasons of discouragement, reminding us that God is with us, His grace is sufficient, and His work in us is not finished. When we’ve had enough to quit, God gives us enough to keep going. To learn more or give to our church visit keystonenorth.church

In Acts 17, we see Paul stirred by a city full of idols and compelled to make the known God known. This message challenges us to examine what stirs our spirit, how we engage the culture around us, and how we faithfully proclaim Jesus and the resurrection in everyday spaces. As followers of Christ, we are reminded that God is near, He calls all people to repentance, and He invites us to join Him in making His truth known.

In a world overflowing with opinions but short on truth, this message challenges us to go deeper than surface-level faith. From Acts 17, we follow Paul’s journey to Thessalonica and Berea and discover why the Bereans were called “noble” for examining the Scriptures daily. Their example confronts a crucial question: do we actually know what we believe—and why? If we don’t define our beliefs, culture will gladly do it for us. This message isn’t about winning arguments or posting hot takes; it’s about building a faith strong enough to withstand real-life pressure.

Christmas isn’t just about cozy vibes and nostalgia—it’s about real, transforming love.From 1 John 4:7–10, this message reminds us that God doesn’t just show love—He is love. We unpack five lies our culture tells us about love and contrast them with agape love: selfless, sacrificial, and supernatural. You’ll see how love shapes our foundation, our community, our faith, and our forgiveness—and why Christmas is proof that God pursued us first. The challenge is simple but powerful: love deeper, forgive freely, and reach someone who doesn’t know Jesus yet. The question is… will we settle for the fun side of Christmas, or embrace the kind that changes everything? 🎄

You can’t step into God’s future while dragging yesterday behind you. 🔥From Philippians 3, this message challenges us to stop letting past pain, guilt, shame—or even past success—define us. Paul hadn’t “arrived,” but he refused to replay old chapters while God was calling him forward. Forget what’s behind, fix your eyes on Jesus, and run toward what’s next—by the power of the Holy Spirit, not your own strength.

Listen in as Micah and Estee talk through the process of facing our feelings and how GOD guides our path!

Lamentations 3 takes us into one of Israel’s darkest moments, where Jeremiah is brutally honest about how overwhelmed and empty he feels. But everything shifts in verse 21 when he says, “But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope.” The message reminds us that our feelings are real, but they don’t get to run the show. Instead of stuffing them down or letting them take over, we’re called to face them honestly and then redirect our minds toward God’s faithfulness… His steady love, His new mercies, His unchanging character.

This week we talked about cravings—not just food cravings, but the ones we all deal with: pleasure, praise, and power. We looked at Jesus in Matthew 4, facing temptation in the wilderness after 40 days of fasting. What’s wild is that Satan hits Him at His weakest moment with the same stuff we wrestle with today: the quick fix, the need to be noticed, and the temptation to take control instead of trust.But Jesus doesn’t fight back with willpower; He leans on God’s Word. That’s the big takeaway for us: self-control isn’t about muscling through—it’s about staying rooted in God’s presence. When we walk with the Spirit, our cravings don’t disappear, but they lose their power because we’ve found something better. It’s not a complicated formula—just a daily choice to soak in God’s truth until the lies stop sounding so convincing.

Join us as Este and Micah discuss balancing a relationship and a religion in Christ!

This week we talked about what real gentleness looks like—not weakness, but strength under control. Galatians 5 reminds us that gentleness is a fruit the Holy Spirit grows in us, not something we force. We looked at Paul’s story: a guy who went from violent persecutor to grace-filled apostle. His life shows that rules and self-help can’t fix what’s broken inside us—only Jesus can.Most of us have that hidden 1%—the anger, shame, or pain we bury until it eventually blows up. The good news? God isn’t asking us to “try harder.” He wants to transform us from the inside out. When we admit we’re weak, that’s where His power shows up. Gentleness becomes something in us that makes people ask, “Where did that come from?”

This week’s message takes a real look at what our faith is actually built on. Using Jesus’ parable of the sower in Luke 8—and a real-life building that literally sank because its foundation was trash—we unpack what it means to have faith that lasts. This isn’t about looking perfect or acting hyper-spiritual. It’s about building rhythms that keep us grounded—Scripture, community, accountability, and long-haul faithfulness. Bottom line: God’s not calling us to a moment of intensity… but a lifetime of steady, rooted, dirty faith. To learn more or to give to our ministry visit keystonenorth.church

This week we talked about goodness—not as something we earn, but as the natural overflow of walking closely with God. Looking at Daniel 6, we saw how an 82-year-old man chose faithfulness over compromise, even when it landed him in a lions’ den. What stood out is that his enemies couldn’t find a single flaw in him except his devotion to God. Daniel had what Scripture calls “an excellent spirit”—not perfection, but integrity. He was the same person in public and in private. Here’s the best part: real goodness doesn’t come from trying harder; it comes from walking closer. It’s not about striving—it’s about surrender.

This week we unpacked the difference between cultural niceness and biblical kindness through the Parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10. Our culture often equates kindness with simply agreeing with or affirming everyone’s feelings and choices—but Scripture paints a deeper picture. True kindness begins with genuine compassion and is willing to tell the truth, make sacrifices, and sometimes even confront what’s wrong. Biblical kindness means doing what’s good for others, even when it costs you something—not just keeping people comfortable. Jesus modeled this perfectly. He wasn’t always “nice,” but He was always kind. His kindness leads us to repentance, heals what’s broken, and transforms us to look more like Him. As we walk with the Holy Spirit, kindness should naturally overflow from our lives—not as forced politeness, but as genuine love in action.

God doesn't need time to change your circumstances—He needs time to change you. In seasons of waiting, don't give up. The trials you face today are preparing you for tomorrow. Trust His timing. Let patience have its full effect. He's still working.To learn more about our church or support our ministry visit keystonenorth.church.

In John 14, Jesus reminds His disciples that real peace isn’t the absence of trouble but the presence of the Holy Spirit. True peace begins with obedience. When we walk in obedience and trust, we make room for the peace that only God can give—peace that flows continually, just as Isaiah 48:18 declares: “Oh that you had paid attention to my commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river.” Through the Holy Spirit—our Advocate and Counselor—we are empowered to live with divine contentment, joy, and peace. These are the good gifts of the Father, freely given to His children. You can have peace today for the problems of tomorrow when your heart is anchored in Him.

The Bible describes joy not as a fleeting emotion but as a fruit of the Spirit — something that flows naturally from a life connected to Him. It’s more than a feeling — it’s a steady confidence that God is good, even when life isn’t. Psalm 42 shows us raw emotion, longing, and the deep hunger of a soul crying out for the living God. Have you been letting things steal your joy? Have you filled your heart with lesser gods that cannot satisfy? God created us with emotion — not to suppress it, but to experience it through His Spirit. Romans 15:13 (ESV) says, “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” To learn more about our ministry or to give, visit keystonenorth.church.

What is love? In a world that keeps redefining it, Scripture reminds us: “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God” (1 John 4:7). God doesn’t just show love— He is love. The Bible describes Agape love—steadfast, unconditional, and sacrificial. It’s not based on feelings but on a decision to love like Jesus. In John 4, Jesus shows this love at the well, crossing boundaries to meet a woman’s deeper need, saying, “Whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again” (John 4:14). True love both confronts and connects. It meets needs but always points to the need-meeter. Godly love looks like the cross - the greatest display of Agape love the world has ever known.

Sin is real and costly. In a world that looks a lot like ancient Ephesus, it’s easy to brush off or minimize what God calls sin. But the Bible is clear: “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23). Yet here's the greatest news: “But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved” (Ephesians 2:4-5). Grace is not small; it’s an infinite well that never runs dry. There is one way and one King—Jesus. His grace is sufficient and greater than your sin.

Whatever you’re facing today, you are not stuck—you are steady in the hands of God. Paul and Silas show us this truth in Acts 16 when they fixed their eyes not on their circumstances but on their Savior.Worry is the enemy’s tactic, but worship is our weapon. God is faithful and able. Conflict doesn’t always mean you’re off course—He can be refining you and using your trial for His glory.What the enemy meant for evil, the Lord will use for good. You’re not stuck. You’re stable, sent, and standing.To learn more about our ministry or to give, visit keystonenorth.church.

In Acts 16 we see the gospel moving with unstoppable force. God opens hearts in ways we never could, yet He calls us to bring what we have and boldly proclaim the good news. Acts 16:14 says of Lydia, “The Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul.” Revival happens where God’s power and our obedience meet. What are you most afraid to surrender? That’s the place God wants to work. When we step out in boldness and the Spirit moves in power, hearts open, lives change, and true freedom is found. Bold obedience plus the Spirit’s work is a beautiful combination.To learn more about our ministry or to give, visit keystonenorth.church.

Pastor John walks us through biblical and practical steps to reverse unbelief and step into freedom—revealing and replacing lies with truth, repenting and receiving forgiveness, and revoking the enemy’s footholds. Peace is learned, freedom is possible, and shalom can crush chaos in your life. Let’s learn together how to reverse it! To learn more about our ministry or to give, visit keystonenorth.church.

The book of Acts shows us that even in the middle of revival, there was no shortage of conflict and opposition. Paul and Barnabas faced sharp disagreement (Acts 15–16), showing us that when passion rises, conflict is never far behind. Conflict isn’t conquered by persuasion but by humility. The gospel is the center we must settle our lives around. Following Jesus means sacrifice, not convenience. Jesus said in Luke 9:23, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” Every “yes” to the mission means saying “no” to self. God’s way is always better. To learn more about our ministry or to give, visit keystonenorth.church.

Not everything is worth fighting for, but the truth of the gospel is. Acts 15 shows us that salvation is by grace alone, not by works, and that peace is possible when we stand for truth with humility. The gospel frees us, but holiness is still worth fighting for. Are you in the fight for the truth? To learn more about our ministry or to give, visit keystonenorth.church.

The gospel always produces a wide response: some receive, some reject, and some redirect the glory meant for God onto people.Acts 14:8-18 reminds us to not take what belongs to God. Our worship must not be misplaced on leaders, idols, or empty things. As Paul would later write, “they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.” (Romans 1:25).We are not promised easy lives, but we are promised purpose and meaning as we honor—not worship—the One true living God. The weight of His glory is greater than anything we can imagine, and our praise must always point back to Him.To learn more about our ministry or to give, visit keystonenorth.church.

In this message titled Good News, we explore the heart of the Gospel—what it is, why we need it, and how we respond to it. Centered around Paul’s bold proclamation in Acts 13, we see that although many hear the message, not all truly hear. The Gospel is not just advice or encouragement; it is news—the announcement of salvation through Jesus Christ. If you’ve ever wrestled with questions like: Why do we need salvation? Where does it come from? How do we receive it? Can we lose it? —we invite you to listen as Pastor Chris unpacks what Scripture says about each one.To learn more about our ministry or to give, visit keystonenorth.church.

In this message, Pastor Chris uncovers the reality of spiritual battles—some we face, and others we bury. There are three levels to every fight: 1. The fight before the fight You’ll never stand strong in the heat of battle if you haven’t first knelt in preparation. Before the fight, we submit ourselves to the Lord, putting our lives in order under His authority. As James 4:7 says: “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” 2. The Fight During the battle, we remember this: we have an enemy—but we also have an Advocate. The call to be sober-minded and watchful (1 Peter 5:8) isn’t a call to fear, but to awareness. We follow the Lion of Judah, not a weak or distant God. 3. The Victory And in Christ, the victory is already ours. The key to walking in that victory is not avoiding the fight but choosing wisdom, obedience, and submission to Jesus as Lord.

Listen in as Micah & Esteban recap this past Sunday!

In Proverbs 16:18, we’re warned, “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.”This message explores three sides of pride: arrogance, insecurity, and selfishness. Through Acts 12:18–25, we see how arrogance declares, “I don’t need God.”Insecurity, though subtle, also reflects pride by doubting God’s love and elevating our own understanding—challenged in Romans 8:15. Lastly, selfishness puts us in God’s place, making everything about us. God shows us the way to prevent our lives from falling apart. He invites us to acknowledge, repent, and take on a posture that seeks His glory—not our own.To learn more about our ministry or to give, visit keystonenorth.church.

In Acts 12, we see King Herod strike the early church with violence—James is killed, and Peter is thrown into prison. But the story doesn’t end there. BUT God… BUT earnest prayer… Just like Peter, asleep in his chains, and Paul, writing words of hope from a prison cell (Philippians 4:12–13), we’re reminded that true strength isn’t the absence of trials—it’s trusting God through them. Romans 12:12 calls us to "Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer." Peter didn’t force his way out—he listened for the knock and walked through the door God opened. Let’s pray together for the Lord to reframe our thinking, trust in the One who bore our shame and grief, and find strength not in escape, but in God’s faithful deliverance.
