What does it actually mean to be saved?
In our series Loved, Saved, Planted & Spirit-Filled, Pastor Frank unpacks the second pillar of who we are at Kings Circle.
There's a big difference between believing Jesus exists and truly trusting Him with your life. Drawing from John 3, Romans 3, 6, and 10, Ephesians 2, and the dramatic story of the Philippian jailer in Acts 16, Pastor Frank makes the case that salvation isn't something you earn or maintain — it's a gift received, a transformation that begins the moment you put your full trust and belief in Jesus.
Born again. Forgiven. Completely set free. A new identity in Christ.
Kings Circle exists so all people can be loved, saved, planted, and Spirit-filled.

God has chosen us to be His ambassadors. This is such a great honor, but also a great responsibility! How can we embrace this? How can we partner with God to fulfill His mission?
The Bible encourages every believer to declare their faith in Jesus Christ publicly through water baptism. But why? What is the meaning and purpose of water baptism? Listen as Pastor Frank explains how water baptism is a physical metaphor of how we, as believers, died with Christ and were raised to new life when Jesus Christ rose from the dead. As Ambassadors of Jesus we now carry His life in us! Get up! What are you waiting for? Be baptized!
It's resurrection day! That means we get to celebrate an empty grave. Jesus died so that the punishment of our sins could be paid for, but He rose to life so that we could experience His life now. The Bible tells us that we died with Christ, but that we were also raised to new life with Him! We don't just celebrate a day in history that took place thousands of years ago, we celebrate an event that can change our lives now and today! Jesus is alive, and not just in heaven, but in you! His new life is restoring every area of your life! What good news this is!
Jesus' pain on the cross was all for you. Every bad thing He had to endure then was so that you could experience the opposite blessing in your life now. His death was for your life. His pain was for your healing. His sorrow was for your joy. His rejection was for your acceptance. The hate he received was so that you could be loved! On the Friday before Easter we remember what Christ did on the cross so that we could experience the abundant life God the Father wanted to give!
Join us in part 7 of Ambassadors as Pastor Frank reminds us just how great God's love is for us. We are all called to be Ambassadors and messengers of His love. Have you fully accepted God's love? What are the obstacles that cause us to doubt His love for us?
In part 6 of Ambassadors, Pastor Chris will show you that God is a God who is on mission in the World. You will discover that God's mission is to reconcile the world back to himself, and He wants to use you and our church to help. God has been leading the way for thousands of years by sending His Son and the Holy Spirit to carry out His mission. How can you partner with the Holy Spirit to be apart of this important mission?
In part 5 of "Ambassadors," Pastor Frank gives the remaining personal benefits of the search and rescue lifestyle. When you commit to giving your life to sharing the love of God with others, you will be a better person and follower of Jesus for it. You will also discover the different ways you may need to personally invest in this ambassador lifestyle as you give of your time, money, and energy, BUT IT'S WORTH IT!
In part 4 of this Kings Circle movement, Pastor Frank gives the second benefit to dedicating our lives to the "search and rescue" lifestyle of being representatives of Jesus. We can learn a lot about purpose and destiny when we examine the Biblical story of Jesus' interaction with the woman at the well in Samaria. Although Jesus was tired, hungry, and thirsty, He couldn't ignore His undeniable purpose to share love and hope with those who need it most!
In Part 3 of "Ambassadors," Pastor Frank begins to share some of the benefits of committing ourselves to this lifestyle of being a representative of Jesus in our day-to-day life. There are many Christians today that want to just live the "safe life." Jesus didn't call us to pursue safe, He called us to pursue Him and take Him to all of those around us. This calling isn't easy, but there are great rewards for following after God's plan and design to redeem the world. The first of those benefits is that our lives take on an excitement and challenge it otherwise may miss out on. It may not be safe, but at least it's an adventure!
In part 2 of "Ambassadors," Pastor Frank emphasizes that we are beginning more than a teaching series, but a movement of believers who understand and live to represent Jesus to our world. In order to represent Jesus well, we must first understand God's love and heart for all people. Jesus said the most important commandment in the law is to love God and to love people. People matter to God and people need to matter to us. Listen as Pastor Frank shares three stories told by Jesus that gives us a picture of how much God loves the missing!
In part 1 of "Ambassadors," Pastor Frank introduces more than a new series, but a new chapter at Kings Circle. God's economy doesn't work like the worlds. If God can get His love, mercy, and gifting through you, then He will get it to you. Jesus promised His Holy Spirit to His Church so that they could be His representatives to the rest of the world pleading that all people turn to God. Get ready, God is about to do something powerful in your life and in our church!
In the final teaching of "Love and War," Pastor Frank gives specific and practical ways to ask for forgiveness and work towards restoration so that healing can take place in your relationship conflicts. In this teaching you'll learn the importance and how to repent, you'll discover how to self-examine and the common areas that often need your examination, you'll learn the ABC's of confession and admission, and, finally, the four P's of transformation. If you want some practical steps towards resolving conflicts, this teaching will help!
In part 3 of "Love and War - Overcoming Relationship Conflicts," Pastor Frank reminds us that Peace has an enemy. As believers, we have an adversary who is out to destroy our relationships, but God's Spirit enables to overcome and have victory. In this teaching, you'll also be encouraged to truly value peace as well as learn three key skills in how to live life as a peacemaker.
In Part 2 of "Love and War - Overcoming Relationship Conflicts," Pastor Frank talks about four potential causes of conflict that sometimes leads to relationship struggles. Once we've identified the different causes of conflict, we can begin to focus on the Biblical values that help us to live peaceably with one another. The apostle Paul explains some of these values in Romans chapter 14 as he describes the importance of not allowing differences in personality, convictions, or lifestyles to keep brothers and sisters in Christ from getting along and living at peace with one another.
In part 1 of "Love and War - Overcoming Relationship Conflicts," you will discover that as followers of Jesus we are called to work hard at living peaceably with everyone. This isn't a call to avoid conflicts, but to work through relational conflict in a way that brings God glory. Pastor Frank shares that to do this we must first become aware of the conflict reaction zones and where we tend to gravitate when conflict arises in our life. As we become healthier is relationship conflict, we will learn to stay within the "peace making zone."
In this very practical and inspiring teaching, Pastor Frank models and trains us on how to use scripture to pray the perfect will of God. Many people struggle in their prayer life because they just don't know what to say. If you simply pray the Word, you will begin to see your prayer life grow and flourish like never before. Listen and begin to use this teaching as a framework for growing in your daily prayer life in five important areas of your life.
In Part 3 of this practical and inspirational series on prayer, Pastor Frank talks about four important elements that should be present in every believers prayer life. Psalm 37:4 tells us that God wants to give us the desires of our heart if we would just delight ourselves in Him. What do you desire? What are you passionate about? What do you need boldness for? What are you faithfully and persistently praying for? God's listening. Something great is about to happen!
In part 2 of the series, "Hey God," Pastor Frank breaks down some of the different types of prayers we can pursue in our life and the purposes of those prayers. One of the various types of prayer is "prayer of intercession." In this type of prayer, one stands in the gap or prays on behalf of another person. Pastor Frank explains that we all must grow in praying prayers of intercession for others, because Jesus is our great intercessor.
Do you truly believe that God is listening to your prayers? The Bible tells us over and over again that He is!! Once we truly believe that God is listening, and not only that, but that he is ready to answer our prayers, our prayer life will grow drastically. Discover that if you to pray God's will, then all you have to do is pray God's Word. "Prayer doesn't cause our faith to work, our faith causes prayer to work!"
In this teaching, Pastor Frank continues his teaching on the Hope of Jesus Christ and how our Past, Present, and future effect our ability to accomplish God's plans and purposes for our life. Now that you've left your past behind you, and become aware of your future, it's time to look ahead and get a vision for your future. The Bible tells us "where there is no prophetic vision, the people cast of restraint..." As you run into 2019, get a vision from God and take positive steps towards growing in your walk with Jesus.
As we begin a new year, Pastor Frank leads us to examine our lives and to pay attention to our past, present, and future and their positive and negative effects our hope in Jesus Christ. In this first part of this teaching, Pastor frank encourages us to leave our negative past behind us, and not to allow negative memories and wounds hold us back from being able to fulfill God's will for our life. You will also discover how important it is to be aware of your present situation and circumstances. "It's in the present where the power to change resides."
In part two of "Home for the Holidays at Kings Circle," Pastor Frank speaks on Christmas Eve about the very special "Gift" that God gave the world; His son, Jesus Christ. John 3:16 tells us that God loved the world so much that He "gave" His one and only son. Not only did He give us His son, but He gave us "life." God is the essence of life, and He is what sustains our lives now here on earth, and eventually the eternal life we will receive after death. This Christmas let's celebrate the life that we have through Jesus.
Merry Christmas! In part one of our "Home for the Holidays at Kings Circle" series, Pastor Frank talks about Jesus' birth and that His coming to earth is the greatest act of love that the World has ever seen. This single act brought great news of great joy to all people. This act of love from God the father shows us that He desires to be with us. One of Jesus' names in scripture is "Immanuel," which means God with us! Did you know that the creator of the Universe wants to be with you? Discover more in this powerful Christmas teaching!
In the final teaching of "Privileged - God's Favor is for Everyone," Pastor Frank shares 4 ways to receive more of God's grace and grow in God's grace. When we grow in our faith, knowledge of God, humility, and boldness, we will be able to receive the free gift of grace that God has offered to us. We must position ourselves to receive it. Pastor Frank concludes the teaching with very specific and practical ways that you can receive God's grace in your life no matter where you're at in your walk of grace.
In part 9 of "Privileged - God's Favor is for Everyone," Pastor Frank shares how God's grace should lead us to good works. Scripture is very clear that our "works" are never what earn us our salvation, but that they should be the expression or the "fruit" of our salvation. Discover that God's grace is a catalyst to change and action. Once you encounter the indescribable, never-ending love and grace of God, your life will begin to produce beautiful works that bring glory to God and point others to Him.
In part eight of this inspirational series on God's grace and favor, Pastor Frank Montgomery explains that God's grace is so much more than what we can even comprehend, think, or imagine. Just as a diamond has many angles and sides, so does God's love and favor have many parts. Many of us can only relate to the part of God's grace that we are most impacted by, but God's grace can meet all of our needs! God's favor is more than just something we receive from Him, it's a part of who He is. Be in awe of God's uncomprehending love and grace!
In part 7 of "Privileged - God's Favor is for Everyone" Pastor Chris talks about God's life-giving grace that all began when He breathed life into mankind. In this teaching, you'll get an in-depth look at how sin separated us from the life-giver which brought death; but how God carried out a plan to demonstrate his "life-giving grace to all people through the death of His son Jesus Christ. Not only did this plan restore eternal life to all of us, but it also gave us freedom from the guilt, shame, and condemnation that sin brings.

In part 6 of this series titled, "Privileged - God's Favor is for Everyone," Pastor frank expands his teaching on the 5 areas where God's Grace transforms and empowers our lives. You will also learn eight statements of what God's Grace is not. His grace isn't just a prayer we pray, or an excuse to do wrong, or just some old theological concept. It is a father's limitless love and favor poured out on all his sons and daughters.
In part 5 of this important series on God's grace and favor, Pastor Frank teaches on how God's grace transforms our lives. Many people often focus and work so hard at trying to change and live a Godly lifestyle on their own strength, but often we will never experience deep spiritual change until we realize and understand God's incredible grace. In this podcast you will be reminded of this truth and hear 5 areas where God's grace transforms and empowers our lives.
In this episode of the Kings Circle Podcast, Pastor Bill Lagerquist breaks down how God's Grace, through Jesus, gives us a right relationship with Him. Many people think that if they would just be better in their attitudes, behaviors, and spiritual disciplines, that they would finally be able to earn God's love, favor, and relationship. However, the Bible tells us that we can't earn God's acceptance and approval, but that it's given to us when we put our faith in Jesus and receive this undeserved gift. In this teaching, Pastor Bill will challenge your thoughts about God in three areas, and give you three privileges we live in each day as His sons and daughters.
In Part 3 of "Privileged - God's favor is for everyone" Pastor Frank reveals what the Bible has to say about what Grace is. Such as descriptions of Grace, how we should respond to His Grace, other words associated with God's Grace, how Grace empowers and impacts our lives, and even warnings of how we might misuse God's Grace. God's Grace and Favor are so very important to experiencing the fullness of God's love. "His grace is the empowering force behind who we become & all we’re enabled to do for Him."
In part 2 of "Privieged - God's Favor is for Everyone," Pastor Frank shares that God's favor and Grace is more than just His salvation, but every blessing that comes from Him. We must choose to walk in God's favor everyday. We don't earn His favor, but we can position ourselves to live in it. God's Grace is for everyone, but unfortunately many people live with fear that their behavior or mindset will separate them from God; this is opposite to the Gospel of Grace! Rediscover God's endless love and favor today!
Me....? Privileged?? What does it mean to be Privileged in the Kingdom of God? Romans 5:1-2 says, "Since we’ve been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. 2 Because of our faith; Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory. Discover how God desires to pour out His love and favor on all those who would humble themselves before Him. His Grace isn't just for the select few, it's for everyone!
In this one-week teaching, Pastor Frank talks about the importance of having a clear vision from Jesus for your life. Proverbs tells us that "if we don't see what God is doing, we will stumble all over ourselves." (MSG Paraphrase). But we do have vision. You do have direction. God is ready to lead you. The Bible tells us to "look up" to "see" get the vision for what God is about to do! Pastor Frank will also give you four practical ways to get and know God's vision for your life.
In the epic conclusion of "Playlist of the Decades," Pastor Frank teaches on the differences between happiness and Joy. There are very few scriptures on being happy, but many scriptures on having joy. In this podcast you will discover that our flesh will naturally want to pursue happiness, but our Spirit longs for the Joy that can only come from Jesus. "You can take my happy, but you can't take my joy."
We hope you enjoyed this series. We encourage you to share this podcast with some of your friends, and share your story at kingscircle.church of how these teachings are helping you in your walk with Jesus!
In Part 4 Pastor Frank takes the theme of the iconic 90s love song, "Everything I do, I Do It For You" and gets you to imagine the song from Jesus' perspective. Many people have been told that God is unhappy with them, that He's just waiting for them to make a mistake so that He can unleash his wrath. However, when we read the scriptures, we see that everything that God did, from the beginning of time, and all that He's still doing is for you! Why? Because He loves you, He's thinking of you, fighting for you, He likes you, He was willing to die for you. The greatest act of love you can ever experience is the love of Christ for you!
In Part 3 of "Playlist of the Decades," Pastor Frank speaks on the topic inspired by the 80s hit song, "Don't Stop Believin'." John 10:10 tells us that we have an enemy who is out to steal, kill, and destroy our lives. How do you respond when life gets tough? God's Word tells us to be alert, and to put on the armor of God so that we will be able to stand firm and overcome the attacks of the evil one. Are you wounded? Are you discouraged? Are you hurting? Can you still fight? Then get back in the fight!
In week two of this unique series, "Playlist of the Decades," Pastor Frank teaches on how to stay alive in Christ. The Bible tells us that every single person in the world is dead because of sin; but God, through Jesus, offers eternal life to everyone! Many people are trying to prove themselves in this world, or earn God's approval through good deeds; however, the only way to truly live the abundant life Jesus came to offer is to live a life led by the Holy Spirit.
In week one of this unique series, Pastor Frank teaches a powerful and practical lesson based on the iconic 60s single, "Respect" by Aretha Franklin. Sometimes all it takes is a "little respect" to make a powerful and meaningful impact in the lives of others. Pastor Frank gives seven practical ways that you can live your life in such a way to respect and honor those around you. Listen to week one of "Playlist of the Decades" and find out what R.E.S.P.E.C.T is all about!
In the concluding teaching of "Unlikely Heroes", Pastor Chris teaches on the importance of answering the question, "Will you surrender everything to Jesus?" If you want to truly live out God's extraordinary purpose for your life, you must be willing to surrender every aspect of your daily living. You'll hear Biblical stories of how individuals were faced with this important question, and how they responded. Surrender everything to Jesus and find your true self and begin the extraordinary adventure that God has set before you!
In Part 10 of the series, "Unlikely Heroes", Pastor Frank continues his talk on how we can live our lives in such a way that brings pleasure to God. Pastor Frank gives us four characteristics of purposed worship that will help you grow in your daily walk with Him. Thanks for listening!

You were made to bring God pleasure. When we are bringing pleasure to God, we will find great joy in our lives and fulfillment in our purpose. Thanks for listening!
In part 8 of "Unlikely Heroes", Pastor Frank describes a life that brings pleasure to God. God takes pleasure in His people. You were created to bring God pleasure. One of the greatest ways that we can please our creator is to live a life of worship to Him. Worship is so much more than singing a song, but it's a lifestyle of Love, Trust, and Obedience!

In part two of "Overflow" Pastor Frank tries to explain the incomprehensible love of God. The Bible tells us that once we decide to follow Jesus, nothing can separate us from His love.

You are a child of God!

In part 11 of our series on the ten commandments you will learn about the importance of seeking after our giver and provider.

Thanks for listening!
Our world and society is not teaching you the importance of faithfulness in your marriage; but God values marriage greatly.

Listen as Pastor Frank gives you practical steps to make faithfulness a top priority in your marriage so that you begin to live the abundant life He's promised for you in your relationship with your spouse and with others.
Commandment number 6 tells us "thou shalt not murder".

God created the heavens and the earth in six days. On the seventh day he rested. In Exodus chapter 20, God told the people of Israel that they should follow His example and take one day each week to set aside and dedicate to God as a Holy day of rest. This principle is applicable to our lives today thousands of years later. Listen as Pastor Frank explains the importance of "setting aside our work for one day so that God can do His work in us".
There is no greater name in Heaven or on Earth than the name of Jesus. This is why God commanded His people to honor His name and to avoid using it in ways that are unproductive and meaningless. All throughout scripture we see that God's name has power, and it's upon His name that we are saved. In this teaching, Pastor Bill will also give you 5 benefits you receive when you come to the Father in the name of Jesus.
In part 5 of the series "ten", you will discover the importance of evaluating all that you give your attention and affection to. God has a jealous heart towards you, not out of insecurity, but out of a love for His children. This is why he gave us the 2nd commandment, do not make or worship any idols (or things that take the place of God). We believe that this teaching will help you identify the things that may have taken the place of God in your life and give you the encouragement to make God your one and only once again.

God has come down, carried us as on Eagles' wings, and brought us to Himself. His commandments give us guidance and safety, they are not heavy or burdensome.

Man tried to please God with rules and religion, but quickly found out that the law just showed how imperfect and dependent man was compared to God's greatness and holiness. But God had a plan, a plan to send His only Son to earth to take upon Himself what needed to be done in order to restore man's relationship with God.

After His death and resurrection, Jesus told Peter and the other disciples that He would be going away, but that a gift would be coming that would give them power to be witnesses to the rest of the world.

We believe that this teaching will encourage and inspire you to pursue Jesus and His will for your life!

We sometimes fail Jesus and make mistakes, but Jesus is ready to embrace us and cover us in forgiveness. Experience love and forgiveness today as you encounter the love and grace of Jesus.
Jesus looked at Peter and said, "your spirit is willing, but your flesh is weak." Have you ever felt like that?
