In this all-church series, God Cares About Me, our kids, students, and adults will be exploring the life of David to discover a foundational truth: God is deeply personal and intimately involved in every part of our lives. He sees us, knows us, and values us—not for outward appearance, but for what’s in our hearts. Through key moments in David’s story, this series highlights how God cares about who we are, what we think, what we say, and how we live. From being overlooked and chosen to learning trust, humility, and obedience, David’s journey reminds us that God’s care is constant—even in the unseen and uncertain moments. This series invites us to understand more fully what it means to be known by God and to live in response to His care each day.

Be Bold

Matt Nickoson

This week, Pastor Matt teaches from Jonah 3, where God again calls Jonah to preach to the violent, idol-worshiping city of Nineveh. When Jonah finally obeys, the entire city repents—fasting, wearing sackcloth, and turning from their evil ways. Their response shows that real repentance leads to real transformation. Pastor Matt challenges us to identify the idols in our own lives, boldly share our faith stories, and invite others to experience God’s mercy this Easter.

When God Gets Your Attention

Matt Nickoson

While Jonah hardens his heart and tries to escape, the pagan sailors respond with humility and ultimately cry out to the Lord. The story highlights how God often uses pain as a megaphone to get our attention and draw us back to Him. Pastor Matt challenges the Church to soften our hearts, align with God’s mercy, and invite others to experience His grace—especially as we approach Easter.

Running From God

Matt Nickoson

Pastor Matt opens our new series in the Book of Jonah, helping our church prepare for Easter by looking at God’s mercy for all people. Jonah ran from God’s call to go to Nineveh because he knew God would offer compassion if the Assyrians repented.

Real Treasure

Matt Nickoson

The message calls believers to trust God with their resources, reminding us that genuine generosity is contagious and reflects God’s own generous heart toward us.

February 15, 2026

Bold Love

Matt Nickoson

Pastor Matt teaches that our identity begins with knowing we are loved by Jesus. Because God is love (1 John 4:16) and gave His Son (John 3:16), believers are called to reflect that generous love. Acts 4:32–35 shows the early church sharing freely so no one lacked anything. Pastor Matt challenges Kingsway to embody that same radical generosity through open-handed giving and caring for one another.

Generous Like God

Matt Nickoson

Devoted

Pastor Matt challenges us to trust God’s Word over worldly wisdom and to live as disciples who obey and teach what Jesus has commanded.

A New Identity

Matt Nickoson

Pastor Matt continued the series through Acts by exploring Peter’s transformation in Acts 2, from a fearful denier to a bold preacher at Pentecost. Empowered by the presence of the Holy Spirit, Peter proclaimed the gospel with authority, demonstrating that God’s power demolishes spiritual strongholds—lies and fears the enemy uses to take hold in our hearts and minds. An encounter with the resurrected Jesus removed Peter’s fear of death and ignited courageous faith, resulting in thousands responding to the message and being baptized. This message challenges believers to live boldly in the power of God’s presence and truth.

The Purpose of My Life

Matt Nickoson

In Acts 2:4–21, Pastor Matt continued the Be the Church series by teaching on the day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit empowered the disciples to speak in many languages so everyone could hear about Jesus. This moment reveals that the Church is not a building, but God’s people filled with His presence and sent on mission. Pastor Matt emphasized that God removes every barrier—cultural, linguistic, or personal—to ensure the gospel is heard. The message challenged the Church to pray first, identify “our one,” and intentionally share God’s grace and truth with those He is drawing to Himself.

Filled with God

Matt Nickoson

In this message, Pastor Matt unpacks the true meaning of the Church, explaining that while the word “church” is often associated with a building, Jesus used the word ekklesia—a gathering of called-out people. Teaching from Scripture, he reminds us that the Church is not a place, but a people where God dwells through the Holy Spirit. As believers, we are now living temples, called to live out our faith together as the Church on mission.

We Three Kings

Lindon Faull

Lindon Faull teaches from Isaiah 49:25, reminding us that no circumstance is too dark and no bondage too strong for God’s deliverance. Through the story of the Magi and powerful testimonies of transformed lives, Faull shows that Jesus came as the heart of God sent to earth to rescue captives, break the chains of sin, and bring hope to the hopeless. The message calls us to respond by surrendering our burdens, sins, and pride to Jesus—offering our lives as a gift to Him this Christmas.

Underneath the Tree

Matt Nickoson

In this message from Isaiah 11:1, Pastor Matt unpacks the prophecy that a “shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse,” showing how a promise spoken 700 years earlier is fulfilled in Jesus through King David’s lineage. What looked dead and cut off was not the end—God was still at work. Pastor Matt explains how Jesus brings new life, not only by fulfilling the old covenant but by restoring what feels broken, hopeless, or lost in our own lives today. The message challenges us to trust Jesus as Savior who gave His life for our sins and as Lord who leads us with perfect righteousness.

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas

Matt Nickoson

Pastor Matt teaches from Isaiah 1:18, showing how God’s plan to deal with sin runs consistently from Genesis to Revelation. Using the image of a campfire’s lingering smell, he explains how sin clings to us and cannot be removed by hiding or effort alone.

All I Want For Christmas Is You

Matt Nickoson

That's What Christmas Means To Me

Matt Nickoson

Chosen To Pray

Matt Nickoson

In this week’s message, Pastor Matt teaches from Acts 1:4–11, reminding us that Jesus promised the Holy Spirit as a gift to empower every believer.

November 9, 2025

Chosen To Worship

Matt Nickoson

Pastor Matt is back as he continues through the book of Acts, teaching how believers live in the tension of “the already and the not yet.” Though we’ve been raised with Jesus, have victory over death, and power over sin, we still face the struggles of this world. Like the apostles who worshiped Jesus after His ascension, we’re invited to fully surrender and speak blessing to God—because worship is our right response as we wait for His return.

Chosen

Matt Nickoson

In the opening message of our new series, Pastor Matt explores the tension between God’s sovereignty and human free will through Ephesians 1.

Hard Fought Hallelujah

Matt Nickoson

In the final message of this series, Pastor Matt reveals how Satan’s original deception in the Garden of Eden began the ongoing cycle of shame, fear, and sin in our lives today.

R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

Matt Nickoson

In this message, Pastor Matt teaches on Ephesians 5:33, teaching that a wife’s respect for her husband is the counterpart to a husband’s love.

When A Man Loves A Woman

Matt Nickoson

Is It Too Late To Say I'm Sorry?

Matt Nickoson

In this sermon, Pastor Matt teaches how to break cycles of sin by replacing fear with faith and shame with grieving. He highlights two key practices—confession of sins and forgiveness of others—reminding us that both are grounded in the hope of Jesus’ return.

Is It Always In The Blood?

Matt Nickoson

Pastor Matt teaches how sin and unhealthy behaviors can pass through family lines, as with Abraham and Isaac. While Exodus and Numbers warn of generational iniquity, Ezekiel 18:20 reminds us we aren’t bound to repeat our parents’ mistakes.

August 24, 2025

Fix You

Matt Nickoson

Pastor Matt discusses how our lives are like trees bearing fruit that others experience, but fear often drives the unhealthy behaviors and sins that produce bitter fruit. Looking at Genesis 2–3, he examines how Adam and Eve’s fear-driven choices led to shame and broken relationships. The solution isn’t trying to fix ourselves or others—it’s allowing Jesus to transform our root system. When fear is replaced with faith, new fruit begins to grow, but this requires surrendering daily and dying to old ways as we follow Him.

August 17, 2025

Weak

Matt Nickoson

Pastor Matt launched our new 9-week series by asking why we keep doing the things we know we shouldn’t. Using the picture of a tree, he showed how fear often fuels the unhealthy patterns and sinful behaviors in our lives. Just like a tree produces fruit from its roots, lasting change only comes when we surrender to Jesus and allow the Holy Spirit to transform us from within. As Ezekiel 11 reminds us, God promises to replace our hearts of stone with hearts of flesh.

Safe In My Father's House

Matt Nickoson

In the final message of this series, Pastor Matt unpacks verse 6 of Psalm 23, showing that God's goodness and love actively pursue us all our days.

Like a shepherd leaving the 99 for one lost sheep, God chases after us, inviting us to live confidently between His guidance and His relentless goodness.

August 3, 2025

You Will Never Go Through It Alone

Matt Nickoson

In this message on Psalm 23:5, Pastor Matt explains that our true enemy is not other people but Satan, who uses lies to make us question God's goodness and our identity. By replacing “but I” thoughts with “but God” truths, spending time in God’s presence, renewing our minds, and staying connected with other believers, we can take every thought captive (2 Corinthians 10:5) and refuse to give the enemy a seat at our table.

God Protects and Corrects His Own

Jesus is a Good Shepherd

Shawn Green

Pastor Shawn Green opens our new series in Psalm 23 by exploring what it means to follow the Good Shepherd.

June 29, 2025

Lead Different

Brett Cadwell

Follow The King's Way

John Whittaker

Heart of the Father
