“Should I JUDGE People?” (REAL Confrontation)
by Kyle Wendel on August 17th, 2025
It seems that there is no greater buzz phrase out there that’s misunderstood in the church and beyond than: “judge not, or you will be judged!” It’s spoken all the time and in so many different scenarios. What if it doesn’t mean what you think it means? One phrase that you are going to hear often in this mini-series is CONTEXT IS KING! When Jesus spoke the polarizing phrase in Matthew, it was not ...

1 Timothy 6:6-10What a wonderful four months this has been JOYRIDING together through Philippians. This beautiful, joy-filled letter written by Paul has taught us some essential and much-needed truths. My takeaway was: finding joy and contentment in Christ, no matter the circumstances. And here we are, with a final lesson, a final devotion in this series. And this one is certainly beneficial. Che... Read More
What I’m Known For

2 Corinthians 8:1-5We all want to leave a legacy; something that we’ll be remembered for. Leaving a legacy hit me hardest in 2023, when both of my parents passed away within seven weeks of each other. My dad passed first. His illness was mercifully short. My mother, fighting both grief and cancer, passed a few short weeks later. To their great credit, several years prior, they had gone to great le... Read More

Luke 12:13-21Let’s be honest, we all know there is something out there we are dreaming of, a bigger house, a better car, a better job. You get it, the list goes on for miles and miles. Maybe you even find yourself thinking, if I had a better car I could do _____. If I had a bigger house, I could do _____. Don’t feel guilty! We are all like this in some way or another, but here is when wishful th... Read More

Philippians 4:22 & Romans 1-:13-15The gospel is for all people of every tribe, tongue, and nation. For every ethnicity and social status. In Paul's letter to the churches at Rome, he said he was obligated to share the gospel with Greeks and jews, to the wise and to the foolish. The good news of Jesus is not limited to America. It’s for the whole world to know! If we are being honest, I think most ... Read More
Thankful for Your Sacrifice
by • Kyle Wendel, Connections Pastor on August 12th, 2025
Philippians 4:14-19 I love that as Paul wraps up his letter to the church in Philippi, he thanks them for everything. Early on, they had given to Paul to support his ministry. By doing so, they partook in what he was doing. They were sharing in his sufferings and the gospel going forward. They gave to him as a sacrifice. They wanted to serve Paul in his needs and by doing so, they served God with ... Read More
