2020-05-2434 minKingwood Bible ChurchShine: Eager - Part 5This message concludes the series titled “Shine.”
Talking about shining doesn’t move one into practice. It must be acted on. Scripture states that believers shine like stars in the universe (Philippians 2:15). How eager are you to shine? This message closes with practical ways to put into practice the truth of this series.
2020-05-1744 minKingwood Bible ChurchShine: Nurtured - Part 4Believers are to shine. What motivates them to do so? Is it strict adherence to a set of rules? Growing in self-discipline? Or is there something else? This Sunday's message addresses this.

2020-04-1940 minKingwood Bible ChurchEphesians: Vibrant Love for Jesus – Part 14This Easter celebration examines the final verses of Ephesians – the armor of God. While it may seem unusual to look at this passage for Easter, the reason believers are able to stand their ground against the enemy is fully because of the resurrection of Jesus. When Jesus rose from the grave He defeated not only death, but sin and it’s power!

2020-03-2950 minKingwood Bible ChurchEphesians: Vibrant Love for Jesus - Part 11While you may be tempted to wonder if it is okay to continue our study from the book of Ephesians, consider that believers of Paul's day fully understood economic hardship, disease, and the pain of living in a fallen world...yet Paul shares these words with them. May these words be used to draw you nearer to the very heart of God!
2020-03-2237 minKingwood Bible ChurchEphesians: Vibrant Love for Jesus - Part 10This message contains a response to COVID-19 followed by brief introduction to Ephesians 5. Paul reminds believers in this section of Ephesians that imitating God calls for a life lived differently. Love for Jesus is best evidenced by turning away from tendencies which reveal sinful humanity.
2020-03-1519 minKingwood Bible ChurchEphesians: Vibrant Love for Jesus - Part 9In Ephesians 4:17-32, Paul instructs believers to “put off” certain traits which describe life outside of a relationship with Jesus, followed by a directive regarding what to “put on.” Listen and consider what areas you need to bring under the Lord’s control – whether that be “putting off” or “putting on.”
2020-03-0841 minKingwood Bible ChurchEphesians: Vibrant Love for Jesus - Part 8Enjoy this shorter message on unity, looking specifically at Ephesians 4:1-16 where Paul tells believers to “make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit” (vv. 3).

2020-03-0115 minKingwood Bible ChurchEphesians: Vibrant Love for Jesus - Part 7Ephesians 3:14-21 closes the first half of this letter to the Ephesians.

The same love is poured out on us today!
2020-02-2327 minKingwood Bible ChurchEphesians: Vibrant Love for Jesus - Part 6Perhaps you enjoy reading mystery books or watching mystery movies/plays.

2020-02-1629 minKingwood Bible ChurchEphesians: Vibrant Love for Jesus - Part 5There is much which can divide believers, yet the blood of Jesus brings unity. When the book of Ephesians was originally penned, thick animosity existed between Jews and Gentiles. Jesus brought peace to both of these groups! His desire for unity within the body today is the same.
2020-02-0940 minKingwood Bible ChurchEphesians: Vibrant Love for Jesus - Part 4Grace and mercy make sense when human nature is understood. Can people be both objects of God’s wrath and objects of His love? This message looks at Ephesians 2:1-10 and addresses this very thing. Listen in!

2020-01-1933 minKingwood Bible ChurchEphesians: Vibrant Love for Jesus - Part 1This message is the introduction to the book of Ephesians, a study over the next 11-12 weeks. Culture slides towards moral and spiritual depravity as you have likely noticed. Faith in Jesus often leads to living countercultural. This calling is true in the present age as it was true for believers living in Ephesus at the time of Ephesians original writing.

2019-12-2425 minKingwood Bible ChurchWisdom from on High - Part 4This fourth week of advent focuses on the state of being awestruck. In wisdom, God chose to announce the birth of a Savior first to a group of shepherds. Shepherds, who were often seen as societal outcasts, were filled with awe at the coming of Jesus! We too are invited to experience the awe of Jesus’ coming to our world.
2019-12-2236 minKingwood Bible ChurchWisdom from On High - Part 3Have you made plans only to find the plans change? Joseph had plans regarding his marriage to Mary. Those plans suddenly changed when he discovered she was pregnant. Likewise, his plans of divorcing her quickly changed when an angel appeared in a dream. Joseph responded with openness. His openness lead him to apply what he knew he was to do.
2019-12-1536 minKingwood Bible ChurchWisdom from On High - Part 2This second week of advent focuses on Being Ready.

2019-12-0836 minKingwood Bible ChurchWisdom from On High - Part 1This first week of advent focuses on the word Faithful. The narrative of Zechariah and Elizabeth (parents to John the Baptist) is one of faithfulness. This account follows 400 years of God’s silence – no prophet spoke His behalf. Still Zechariah and Elizabeth remained faithful to the Lord, and the Lord remained faithful to His promise. John the Baptist became the first prophet in centuries who prepared the way for Jesus.
2019-12-0137 minKingwood Bible ChurchNew Disciples Praise Him – Part 3Dave Jongeward, Dean of Spiritual Formation at Colorado Christian University speaks about the command of Jesus to make disciples.

2019-11-2435 minKingwood Bible ChurchNew Disciples Praise Him - Part 2If Jesus calls believers to be His witnesses (Acts 1:8), why do many feel as though they are the attorney? Being a witness means providing the evidence as the attorney directs. Who is the attorney and what is the evidence provided? Listen in!
2019-11-1737 minKingwood Bible ChurchNew Disciples Praise Him - Part 1Do you get uncomfortable when the Great Commission is read? Do you feel as though you are somehow not doing your part to obey the words of Jesus by “going”? This message examines what Jesus had in mind when He gave these words (Matthew 28:16-20). It’s a message for everyone, missionary or not!
2019-11-1036 minKingwood Bible ChurchThe Source of My Strength (Part 3)When you encounter difficulty, do you run away from or towards God? The Sons of Korah remind us that God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. (Psalm 46:1). Rather than running away from God when hardship comes, learn to hide in God. He is our refuge!
2019-11-0335 minKingwood Bible ChurchThe Source of My Strength (Part 2)It likely seems un-American…it certainly is not natural…but the words conveyed in 2 Corinthians 12:1-10 is the truth just the same. Recognizing weakness is a sign of strength and something Paul went so far as to boast in! Listen in!
2019-10-2724 minKingwood Bible ChurchThe Source of My Strength (Part 1)Who or what do you turn to find strength? This message suggests five possibilities, but then examines God’s word to Israel through the prophet Isaiah regarding strength. These words ring true for believes today!

2019-09-2941 minKingwood Bible ChurchEsther: A Reversal Story (Part 3)Do you recognize you are here, right now, for a particular purpose? If you do, it does not mean God will never direct you elsewhere, but it does bring a greater sense of intention to your existence. This is true even when you feel you are surrounded by many who oppose your value system. Mordecai reminded Esther that God is intentional, placing her right where she needed to be.
2019-09-2243 minKingwood Bible ChurchEsther: A Reversal Story (Part 2)Sometimes in life you may feel as though things go from bad to worse. This certainly was the case for Esther and Mordecai. Due to an unwillingness on the part of Mordecai to bow down to Haman, King Xerxes was influenced to annihilate the entire race of Mordecai’s people. This account serves as a reminder that the provident hand of God is not always obvious, yet He is working nonetheless. Listen in!
2019-09-1535 minKingwood Bible ChurchEsther: A Reversal Story (Part 1)This message the introduction to the book of Esther. It sets the stage for the events that take place, looking at some of the major characters involved. The overarching theme of God's providence in the book of Esther is shared, although not evident within the first chapter and a half. When we don't see God's providence, can we trust He is setting the stage for a mighty display of His power?
2019-09-0842 minKingwood Bible ChurchJesus-Centered TeachingThis is a stand-alone message examining forgiveness. Prior to the message, Kingwood gathered to observe communion. In light of the forgiveness we have received from the cross of Christ, does it not make sense that we would be the very ones who extend forgiveness to others?
2019-09-0142 minKingwood Bible ChurchOne Word: ChurchWhat word comes to mind when you hear the word church? For most, the first (and perhaps only) thing that comes to mind is a building. However, church is people – all those who have placed their faith in Jesus. This puts people in relationship to church and being part of church is a privilege we ought not take for granted!

2019-08-0443 minKingwood Bible ChurchOne Word: AnxietyThere is much in life that can lead a person to anxiety. Yet Scripture instructs, “Do not be anxious about anything…” (Phil. 4:6). Wow! What a tall order. Anxiety is real, yet the verses around this instruction give attention to what a mind is to focus on instead. Listen in!
2019-07-2840 minKingwood Bible ChurchOne Word: LonelinessPeople today have grown significantly more connected via the internet. Social media encourages connectivity; yet while connectivity through this means has increased, so has the sense of loneliness and despair. How does Scripture guide someone who is feeling the sting of loneliness? This message takes a look at answering that question.
2019-07-2131 minKingwood Bible ChurchOne Word: BaptismToday is a day of celebration for the Kingwood family! Baptism symbolizes that new life has been found through faith in Jesus.

2019-06-0234 minKingwood Bible ChurchTeach These Things (Part 1)The books 1 & 2 Timothy were written to a young pastor overseeing a church in Ephesus.

2019-05-1926 minKingwood Bible ChurchHow to Honor Our MotherScripture instructs believers to honor their mother. It shares no “loop holes” giving an out on this one. Honor is expected. But what does honoring a mother look like? This message provides four examples of what it means to honor mom!
2019-05-1229 minKingwood Bible ChurchJesus-Centered TeachingTo think of others more highly than oneself goes against human nature and against societal norms. Yet Scripture instructs believers to live in such a way. Matthew 20:20-28 is an account of Jesus’ interaction with a mother and two boys desiring greatness. Jesus addresses greatness head on by declaring greatness to be linked to servant-hood.
2019-05-0522 minKingwood Bible ChurchJesus-Centered TeachingThis is a standalone message designed to examine the life of Jesus, learning from Him in every way possible. It looks at the encounter He had with a Roman centurion as recorded by the gospel writer Matthew (8:5-13). Jesus was far more concerned about the heart of His Father than societal norms. The passage records three ways societal norms of the day were broken and in the end healing brought to a sick and dying servant.
2019-04-2836 minKingwood Bible ChurchMade Relational (Part 3)The desire for relationship is natural and normal. However, if we don’t find our identity in a personal relationship with God through Jesus, our pursuit of having others validate us will persist. The resurrection is evidence that God desires relationship with people. This is the greatest relationship of all. This is the relationship we were made for!
2019-04-2127 minKingwood Bible ChurchMade Relational (Part 2)Healthy relationships give heed to what God has instructed in Scripture. Relationships that stray from this are left with consequences. How true this is in the home. This message is given in light of families who wish to dedicate their children to the Lord, vowing to model and teach their children in the ways of the Lord.
2019-04-1422 minKingwood Bible ChurchMade Relational (Part 1)Whether introverted or extroverted, all are made and designed for relationship. This should not be a surprise since God is relational and people are made in His image. This message outlines five principles key to developing and maintaining healthy relationships.
2019-04-0733 minKingwood Bible ChurchJesus-Centered TeachingThis stand alone message focuses on the encounter Jesus had with two blind men just days prior to His arrival in Jerusalem for Passover in which He would be arrested and crucified. In a time Jesus could have been more focused on what was about to take place or on making sure His disciples knew all they needed to know, we see Jesus moved with compassion for the needs of others – a trait which was true for all of Jesus’ public ministry.
2019-03-3136 minKingwood Bible ChurchGalatians: Jesus+Nothing=EverythingThis message is the conclusion to the book of Galatians. In the final chapter Paul addresses restoration of believers entrapped by sin, the principle of reaping what is sown, and shares concluding remarks. Some of Paul’s main points from this book of shared at the conclusion of this message.
2019-03-2437 minKingwood Bible ChurchGalatians: Jesus+Nothing=EverythingIf a believer is not under law but under grace, called upon to serve others in love, and cautioned to not give way to the sinful nature – how does this happen? Galatians 5:16-26 is the answer which indicates it is all about life in the Spirit. Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection brings freedom to fallen humanity. The Spirit indwells a believer to bring transformation. Keep walking day by day in step with the Spirit!
2019-03-1736 minKingwood Bible ChurchGalatians: Jesus+Nothing=EverythingIn a few short verses Paul describes two approaches which determine the health of a church. The approaches are polar opposite. One leads to destruction. Does that give you a clue where the other one leads?
Scripture: Galatians 5:13-15
2019-03-1028 minKingwood Bible ChurchGalatians: Jesus + Nothing = EverythingLegalism: treating that which is good as though it were essential. The Galatian believers took circumcision and made it essential in the life of a believer. Paul told them if they did this (i.e. look to circumcision as something that enhances their relationship with God), Christ will be of no value to them (5:2). This messages challenge: keep the main thing the main thing. Keep that which is essential (salvation through Jesus by faith alone) as the main thing.
2019-03-0329 minKingwood Bible ChurchGalatians: Jesus + Nothing = Everything!Do you know who you are? Has your identity been identified? Paul says you are a son/daughter of God – not a slave. Your freedom is found in Christ. A figurative illustration is given using Hagar and Sarah, driving home the point all the more: you are not under the Mosaic law; you are a son/daughter of promise.
2019-02-2430 minKingwood Bible ChurchGalatians: Jesus + Nothing = Everything!Galatians 4 continues to draw attention to “sonship.” Paul tells the Galatian believers they are sons (daughters), not slaves forming a very intimate relationship with God the Father. As children who have been freed from bondage, the challenge is heard: don’t go back! What might this bondage be? Listen in!
2019-02-1725 minKingwood Bible ChurchGalatians: Jesus + Nothing = Everything (Part 5)Part This message focuses on the second half of Galatians 3, continuing to remind the reader that salvation is by faith. To drive this point home further Paul says that Abraham was declared righteous years before the Mosaic law was even given. So Paul asks an excellent question: what is the purpose of the law if salvation is by faith? Paul answers that question in this passage.
2019-02-0336 minKingwood Bible ChurchGalatians: Jesus + Nothing = Everything (Part 4)The apostle Paul had some sharp words for the Galatian believers recorded in the third chapter of Galatians. He presented them with a question, an illustration, and closes this section (3:1-14) by reminding these believers that relying on the Mosaic Law puts them under a curse. But this is the very reason why Jesus came! Paul says that “He redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us.” (vv. 13)
2019-01-2722 minKingwood Bible ChurchGalatians – Jesus + Nothing = Everything (Part 2)The apostle Paul addresses churches in Galatia, believers who were both Jew and non-Jew. Because the church was in its infant stage, one can imagine some of the conflicts they dealt with – especially considering many had come to faith in Jesus out of Judaism. Paul says the words He has for these believers are not his own, but given to him by revelation of Jesus Christ. One of the biggest convincers of this according to these verses is his own personal testimony! Listen in to hear it.
2019-01-1339 minKingwood Bible ChurchIntroduction to GalatiansThis message is the introduction to the book of Galatians, looking specifically at the first 10 verses. The apostle Paul, human author of this book, writes of his astonishment to churches in Galatia who were so quickly deserting the One who had called them. Who is the One who called them? And what happens when people desert the One who called them? Listen in!
2019-01-0640 minKingwood Bible ChurchAre We There Yet?Have you taken a road trip with family or friends and heard these words echo through the vehicle?

2018-12-3039 minKingwood Bible ChurchChristmas Eve MessageGod’s plans prevail! God used ordinary people to accomplish His purposes. The simple message is heard: God’s plans prevail…despite who we are or what we believe we have to offer. If we are willing to bow our knee to Jesus, God uses us in carrying out His plans. Even if we refuse to bow our knee, God still carries out His plans. His plans prevail!
2018-12-2423 minKingwood Bible ChurchHis Name Is (Part 4)Today concludes the fourth Sunday studying the titles given to Jesus based on Isaiah 9:6. The final title found in the Scripture passage is “Prince of Peace.” Jesus came to bring peace and even declared it is His to give. To know Jesus is to know peace! This is also the fourth Sunday of advent focusing on love.
2018-12-2337 minKingwood Bible ChurchHis Name Is (Part 3)This message emphasizes Jesus as Everlasting Father, the description given Him by Isaiah the prophet (9:6). We look at John 14:1-11 which describes Jesus equal with the Father, a fundamental truth taught in the pages of Scripture. What is the significance of this doctrine? Listen in to find out!
2018-12-1628 minKingwood Bible ChurchHis Name Is (Part 2)This second week of advent focuses on the peace available to those who trust in Jesus, the Mighty God.

The foundational truth wrestled with in this message is this: I am not my own. Once we recognize that we have been purchased by the blood of Jesus and are not our own, we begin to listen to the voice of God the Holy Spirit who leads us in serving Him. Have we come to grips with this foundational truth?

This message looks at the interaction of 11 brothers with Joseph as well as well as Joseph revealing his true identity to them. Joseph recognized God’s ultimate purpose in spite of evil intentions. Through it all, God was present with Joseph, using harm to bring about something beautiful. God works the same way in our life bringing beauty from that which is difficult.

Perhaps with the passing of time you really struggle to forgive and find that bitterness has taken root and growing. As we continue to study the life of Joseph we learn at least 20 years have gone by when his brothers come searching for grain in Egypt. Joseph’s response is worth noting: he didn’t excuse their evil actions, yet he was moved by a heart of compassion for those who had wronged him.

In the matter of hours, he went from “pit” to palace. That which God promised to Joseph years prior through two dreams was beginning to become a reality. All the pain he endured was now turning to the fulfillment of promise. Regardless of how Joseph was treated, he remained faithful to God and chose to trust Him.

As this study continues from the life of Joseph, we realize Joseph did a lot of waiting. Eleven years passed from the time he was sent from his home to the time he interpreted the dream of the cupbearer and the baker (Genesis 40). While the interpretation Joseph gave concerning their dreams was true; he was forgotten in prison for another two years. This is a message on waiting.

While the past should be recognized and learned from, we need to embrace the present. If our focus is only on what things used to be like, we will miss out on what God has in store for us today. In this message, Pastor Nathan shares three things our church family should be ready to embrace or let go of. See if you can pray for these things as we embrace change together!
