The final word over creation is not death. The final word belongs to the One who walked out of the grave.
The dragon is defeated.
The blood of Jesus has answered accusation.
The church does not overcome through fear, force, domination, or control.
We overcome by remaining faithful to Jesus.
Revelation 11:15
“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.”
The world may feel chaotic, but the throne is not empty. God is present, God is faithful, and God is worthy.
"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."
Notice it doesn't say: "What the Spirit said."
It says: "What the Spirit says."
Present tense.
The Spirit is still speaking.
These letters weren't just for ancient churches.
They continue to reveal the heart of Jesus today.
Christianity was never meant to be primarily about doing things for God.
It's about living in union with Him.
The solution wasn't more work.
The solution was returning to the One they loved. And the “first love” is referring to the love that God has toward them!
What you believe about Jesus determines how you live.
If you see Him as distant, you'll keep your distance.
If you see Him as angry, you'll live in fear.
If you see Him as disappointed, you'll constantly strive for approval.
But if you see Him as He truly is:
The faithful witness.
The firstborn from the dead.
The ruler of kings.
The One who loves you.
The One who freed you.
The One who reigns.
Everything changes.
When we love people the way Jesus loves people, we become part of how God nurtures the world.
Before we become the hands that nurture others, we need to become the hearts that are healed by Him.
So today, let the Father comfort you.
Let Him quiet your soul.
Let Him gather you under His wings.
Let Him remind you that you are not forgotten.
Fifty years of God’s faithfulness.
Fifty years of people saying yes.
Fifty years of prayers, sacrifices, obedience, and moments where God showed up in ways only He could.
Everything Jubilee promised freedom, restoration, and belonging finds its full expression in Jesus!
1 Corinthians 13: Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything without weakening. Love never fails
Jubilee introduces a different way of living:
Not striving… but trusting.
Not controlling… but surrendering.
Our identity is rooted in Christ, and our home is in Him.
This is our Jubilee.
He didn’t just ride into Jerusalem
He rode in to bring you home.
Jesus doesn’t say: “You’re fine, stay the same.”
He says: “You’re loved, come follow Me.”
I don’t earn grace. I receive grace. I don’t trust my works. I trust Jesus. I come empty-handed. And I leave full of life.
Correction does not issue a sentence. It offers a path.
Condemnation closes doors.
Correction opens them.
Jesus never said that.
And not only did He not say it, but actually much of Scripture actually points in the opposite direction.
Because if that phrase were true, then Jesus wouldn’t be necessary.
Jesus doesn’t say, “Deny yourself and figure it out alone.”
He says, “Follow Me.”
He doesn’t take life away—He gives real life.
This year isn’t random.
It’s intentional.
It’s formative.
And it’s designed to shape how we think, how we live, and how we follow Jesus.
The Spirit of the Lord has got an invitation for you to model and master, so that you can be people who - literally by your countenance, by your testimony, by the authority of your presence - find people coming up to you and saying, "What have you got that I don't have?"
He still brings hope, peace, joy, and love into ordinary lives.
So hold the light.
Receive it.
And carry it with you into the world.
When the peace of Christ rules our hearts, we become:
Gentle
Present
Compassionate
Slow to anger
Quick to listen
We don’t generate hope. We receive it.
God fills us with it. Holy Spirit multiplies it. And Jesus anchors it.
The Kingdom doesn’t grow by accident.
It grows through open doors, open hands, and open tables.
You are hosting heaven everywhere you go.
The world needs people who refuse to lose what makes them different.
People who speak with grace, live with conviction, and love with courage.
People who are willing to stand out— even when it costs something.
You can be that person again.
Keep shining.
Keep loving God with all your heart.
Keep loving people when it’s inconvenient.
Keep serving even when no one notices.
You are a living image of Pentecost—
a tree rooted deep in God’s love,
and burning bright with His power.
When the Spirit’s fire burns in you:
You love differently.
You live differently.
You serve differently.
You expect differently.
Pentecost isn’t a memory — it’s a mandate.
Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” — Ephesians 4:32
Pastor Don Wolabaugh shares a powerful word in this Table Sunday Service at Kingdom Life!
Choose one costly, inconvenient, interruptive act of love to do this week.
Write it down. Pray over it. Invite the Holy Spirit to guide it.
Don’t settle for a casual Christianity.
Don’t settle for belief without surrender.
Jesus is calling. And He’s calling you to come and die.
2 Corinthians 3:18 (ESV) “And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.”
Your faith is generational, because the Kingdom of God never stops at you—it flows through you.
A heavenly home reflects God’s heart—set apart and welcoming.
We’re not called to choose between holiness and hospitality. We’re called to merge them.
"22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
23 they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness."
Lamentations 3:22-23
Forgiveness is not a feeling. It’s a decision to stop replaying the offense and start releasing the person.
You can’t speak like heaven until your heart is yielded to heaven.
Would you let the Holy Spirit sanctify your speech today?
Practical ways to Center Christ :
1. Invite Jesus into Every Room
2. Pray Together as a Family
3. Establish Christ-Honoring Rhythms
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
Declaring the Word of God shifts everything. When we declare Scripture, we aren’t just quoting words—we are releasing the creative force of heaven.
Prayer is not a performance to get God’s attention. It’s communion from the awareness that He never left.
How do we live a life of prayer?
Stay connected—like a branch to the vine. (John 15:5)
Stay thankful—like someone who already knows the outcome. (Phil. 4:6)
Stay expectant—like a child asking a good Father. (Matt. 7:11)
Philippians 4:6-7 (ESV)
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
You were never meant to carry the weight of your family on your own.
You’re not the Savior of your home—Jesus is.
So when the enemy tries to torment you with fear or guilt or regret—you fight back with the Word, not with worry.
You can come boldly because Jesus gave you access.
You can pray according to God’s will—and His will is in His Word.
And you can trust in His timing, because He’s good, and He’s faithful.
Practical Application for Prayer:
1. Start small and simple — Pick a consistent time and place to meet with God daily. Even 10–15 minutes of sincere prayer is powerful.
-
Use the Lord’s Prayer as a framework — Begin with praise, align with God’s will, bring your needs, deal with your heart, and trust His protection.
-
Listen as much as you speak — Prayer is a two-way street. Make room for silence and let the Lord speak to your heart.
-
Keep a prayer journal — Record what God is showing you, what you're praying for, and how He's answering.
If Jesus can rise from the grave, then there is no situation in your life He cannot resurrect.
The things that really matter happen over time, like your spiritual walk with the lord and relationships. The future is shaped by what you consistently do
Assess your finances and ask, “Am I building a foundation for future generations?”
Teach financial wisdom to your children and others.
Pray and seek God’s wisdom on how to steward resources well.
Remember: giving is not about money—it’s about the heart.
God doesn't need our money—He wants our trust. When we give, we partner with Him in advancing His Kingdom.
When you live in the realm of abundance, you realize who and what you have access to. The essence of a covenant is “I will be your God and you will be My people. I will be in your midst. All of Me for all of you.”
We need to recognize that God is the Source and you are the steward of those blessings He has given you.
Youth Are Not the Future of the Church—They Are the Church Now. The Church’s Role is to See Them, Support Them, and Serve With Them.
Our SOURCE of provision never changes, but our RESOURCE for provision can change frequently. Remember, Abba takes care of us.
If God did not spare HIS OWN SON for us, then surely he will take care of us and our needs as well! This is what we get to filter our “doubts, worries, and anxieties” through!
There will be times when we are weak—when our faith feels shaky, when temptation seems too strong, or when life’s pressures feel overwhelming.
In those moments, a strong group of believers can lift us up, pray for us, and remind us of God’s promises.
God is patient (he doesn’t give up on you)
God is kind (he’s the kindest in the universe)
God never gives up, never loses faith, and is always hopeful
God endures every circumstance (even when you’re at your worst)
God never ends
What has God given you to steward?
What do you feel called to?
What is the dream God put inside you?
What price are you willing to pay to see God’s dream for you come to pass?
Prosperity yields influence - What would the world look like if the most influential people were the ones who lived by Kingdom principles and loved the Prince?
As we are celebrating the birth of Christ, his life, ministry, and even his death and resurrection responsive living to what God says should be our focus also! It’s why Jesus taught and was an example for us - it's a way of living responsively toward God!
From Common Union with Christ, we can discern what He’s breathing on - then we partner with it and release it - into the atmosphere, into another person, into ourselves…this is prophetic communion - partnering with His breath and releasing it as he would!
God hasn’t been angry at who you are…he’s been angry at the stuff that makes you less than who you are.
Through the broken bread, he reminds us of his body that was broken to meet our hunger for salvation and wholeness.
In his brokenness, Jesus received our sin. Through the poured wine, he reminds of his blood that was spilled out to meet our thirst for life.
Jesus led by example. He showed us how to serve and how love needs to be the motivation for everything we do for the Lord!
Why should I choose to be the good server over the bad server? So that God may be glorified. Because I’m not looking for a seat at the table, I’m looking to serve the table.
"God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord."
1 Corinthians 1:9
Here’s how We align with Him:
1. Knowing God’s Will
How can we know His Will? By knowing Him, and knowing His Word
2. Abiding in him
3. There are many verses that show us the character of God.
We know that God is love, and if something doesn’t look like love, it’s not Him.
4. When we get into the Word of God, and learn through the Living Word (Jesus), then we can’t help but know His Will.
Matthew Eckart shares a life changing message that will help you in your walk with the Lord!
Instead of chasing after the desires in our hearts, we should do as the psalmist wrote, “Delight yourself in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart.”
LET’S KEEP HIM AS THE ONE THING. Not even I get to be #1 in my own life.
When a good thing becomes a priority over God in our lives, people are going to get hurt and relationships are going to be damaged. The Lord needs to be first in our lives!
2 Corinthians 3:18 : And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.
When we press into greater relationship and intimacy with Him that is the place that we find true Peace. When we do this we get to know the Prince of Peace and we have His Sacred Breath - so we breathe in and out his peace!
The Holy Spirit is given as a helper to empower, to teach, and to lead us into truth! In order for us to live out the instruction and command of the Divine Utterance, we must catch the Sacred Breath!
Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit."
John 20:21-23
Pastor Kaleb shares about the great power of our God and how we are dependent upon him!
Our mission/vision at Kingdom Life is to reach people with Jesus’ love and to cultivate relationships that build up people!
You have received favor from the Divine because you have received the grace and mercy and love of Jesus!
Generously and joyfully giving yourself to Jesus and therefore, to others is what you are called to do!
We are a house of uncontainable miracles! We are people of great faith who see the miraculous because we are looking for it!
By washing feet, Jesus gives us an example of humility, connection, and love! He has invited us to live faithfully from this position as sons and daughters!
Bill Vanderbush shares a life changing word in this sermon and people are healed by the power of God!
We are a house of peacemaking sons and daughters. It is our nature to look like our Father. We don’t just HAVE peace, we MAKE peace.
God is interested in every detail of your life and because he cares you do not have to live a life in worry!
In this new covenant, our lives have been made the house of prayer for all the nations!
We are a house of Courageous Love - this means we are willing to go beyond our comfort zones, patterns, and familiarity into where love calls us. And we go boldly and unafraid.
This is a house of the One True God - There is no other than Him on the throne in our lives. This is the declaration we make to our own souls. A reminder of who is King.
George Calico shares about the importance that your life can have on other people to increase the Kingdom of God!
Pastor Kaleb Lay & Evangelist Kym Montgomery share in this powerful Sunday morning service!
The Gospel is not about a place, it's about a person! We live for Christ. We live righteously, we choose love, we choose grace. Our lives are testimonies of our Great God.
What can I do while I'm waiting for God to reveal His plan:
1. Draw closer to Him (worship, prayer, study)
2. Share your faith with others (commission and laying on of hands)
3. Be involved in the Body of Christ (serve and encourage)
Is there a place of disgrace in your life that is paralyzing you and keeping you from walking forward in life? Shame causes you to cast down your gaze but Jesus says look at me. You are not invalid - you are not a disgrace!
The definition of faithful is dependable, trustworthy, and reliable. Our Father is all of these and he is always the same!
In this service our leadership team answers questions that we know will help you in your daily walk with the Lord and with people!
Only Jesus can meet our deepest needs…and God is the only one who can empower us to relate successfully with others long-term. He heals our hurts and fills us with His love, if we let him.
In this episode, pastor Kaleb shares three different levels of relationships. Government, Influence, and Blessing.
Be intentional about your culture. Your culture is developed by your VISION and your VALUES. What do you see and what do you do…Let us be families on fire that set the world ablaze for Christ!
Jonathan Gibson shares a powerful word at Kingdom Life! Be sure to share this message with someone else to help them grow in their walk with the Lord!

Jesus is standing in front of you and wants to hand you a gift. And it’s just for you from his heart.
Thankfulness is the invitation to the house party of joy!
Thankfulness brings your heart to rest
Thankfulness precedes the miraculous
Our heart becomes sick when we allow disappointment to live with us. We fail to function at a level that we should because we are carrying the pain of disappointment! The Holy Spirit is saying, “I want to talk to you about some things but I can’t because your head is plugged up. I want to show you what it’s like to believe again, to dream again, to hope again!”
Kym Montgomery shares about all the great things the Lord did during her time in Florida and Africa!
Receive His love so that you can Be full of joy so others can See His goodness!
John 15
Forgiveness is not an optional part of the Christian life. We will forgive to the extent we appreciate AND understand how much we have been forgiven.
Matthew 5:44
God wants your WHOLE life. Not just part of it. This is why it is a choice for us to say I DO to Jesus everyday.
God doesn’t just want to save you from hell, he wants to have an intimate relationship with you - one of Inseparable Unity!
Romans 8
When I perceive myself as unqualified, I walk in insecurity. When I’m insecure, I don’t believe. When I don’t believe, I disqualify myself.
Don’t disqualify yourself from the inheritance your Father has given you!
We can know who we are. We don't have to walk around aimlessly but we can walk with a purpose/ intention loving our brothers and sisters.
The Lord wants relationship with you so badly. Not just a Sunday morning drive by. Not a “oh the weather’s nice” conversation…but an actual relationship!
1 John 5
Pastor Kaleb speaks about how in our family in Christ we love, we encourage, we build up, and we stand beside each other.

Pastor Kaleb speaks about how when our obedience comes from our love of God and not our fear of His punishment then it is a demonstration of our faith.

Because Jesus Loves Me, This I Know…God didn’t turn his back on Jesus, and He’s not turning his back on you either.
Psalm 22
As we live in relationship with him and from relationship with him, things within us begin to change. It may not all happen at once, for some it takes years to move beyond addictions, habits, patterns of thinking, but if you continue to live from relationship with Him, you WILL change.
Our God is magnificent, and it’s because of his awesomeness we can place our faith in the Faithful One.
Ephesians 3:20
Pastor Aaron shares about the value that we have because of the blood of Jesus and about who we are in Christ!
2 Corinthians 5:21
What’s your next step? Ask this: What makes me tense during church? Because the answer to this question is likely an area of your life that isn’t fully ALL IN or surrendered to Jesus…
Is it worship? Money? Sin? Pride? Forgiveness? Surrender? Serving? Volunteering?
Don’t ignore it, face it. Listen to Jesus. Take the next step, follow me. Push your chips ALL IN.
Seed Ministries shares with us what the Lord is doing in Ghana during Mission Sunday at Kingdom Life!
Our hearts are the King of loves domain! And the Holy Spirit within us is his habitation! This is power for today
Maybe the Holy Spirit has led you to a place that seems like a wilderness…maybe you’re in a season of testing…maybe you feel like you’re battling on every level - spirit, soul, and body.
Stand firm in your faith, draw near to God, and let the Holy Spirit of God produce great power in your life!
You’ve been made to live with Power for Today - over every circumstance and in every trial and temptation. Let the gifts of the Holy Spirit be on display in your life so all can see the beauty and splendor of our amazing God.
Guest speaker Don Wolabaugh shares a powerful message about what Jesus has already done for us!
Allow the Spirit of God to build you up, to pray through you the perfect will of God, and even in some cases, to build up the corporate body of Christ through praying in tongues!
To walk in the Spirit and its fruits takes two things: the leading of the Holy Spirit and a Believer who is willing to be led.
The first step to living a life of Power for Today – being filled with the Holy Spirit - this life of power is one of hope, and it is not for us to have to OVERpower others, but rather to EMpower us to be witnesses of Jesus!
These are prayers for your life and future based on the truths and promises we find in scripture. When we prayerfully decree and declare the Word of God, power is released from heaven in order to manifest biblical promises and blessings in our lives. The Bible says that even the angels harken to the voice of the Word.
Heaven responds to God’s Word and when we speak His will for our lives, then we prophetically begin to activate the heavenly realm.
So as I pray today, feel free to join me. You may speak it out loud if you’d like. Let us pray from the King's authority and in His will.
Pastor Kaleb leads us in some declarations and speaks about how when your circumstances look contrary to your declarations, hold fast to the Word of God. Hold fast to the Truth of Jesus name!
What great love our God is, and has, and has given to us, so that we can learn to be LOVED and to love like Him..
Let us learn to be LOVED so that we can show others they are LOVED.
Our hearts are the King’s domain.
Jerry Bryant tells of what KLC is helping to support not only across our country but across the world!

The next time sickness, frustration, or disappointment stares you in the face, meet it with joy…because it lives in you!

Reset your heart and release your past
Reset your mind and release your burdens
Reset your walk and release forgiveness
Pastor Kaleb speaks about how my relationship with God is like paint - if it sits in a can in the corner it separates, dries up. Let it be stirred up, accessed, poured out and on display.
Pastor Kaleb speaks about how we need to fall in love with Jesus again - as HE consumes your thoughts then discipline follows, and the healthy appetite of thankfulness begins again…
In the gospel of me, Jesus is transformed into what I want Him to be.
But in the gospel of the Kingdom, I'm transformed into what he wants me to be!
When you widen your heart, it will widen your world and you will have even greater opportunity to share presents you have (grace and reconciliation)
Will you receive his grace today? Not just the grace for salvation but the grace to get up and walk, to go and sin no more, to go walking and leaping and praising God.
A powerful sermon about overcoming the voice of the enemy when he brings condemnation against us.
Pastor Kaleb shares about how Jesus has set you free so you are free to set yourself like Jesus
Pastor Kaleb shares from Revelation 12:11 and focuses on the latter part of the verse : for they loved not their lives even unto death.
You could be the Ananias to a Paul that is out there. And God is waiting for you to say ‘YES!”
Is there something that God has told you to do but you’re hesitating for whatever reason?
Pastor Kaleb continues in the What About Me Series and speaks about using our hands for the Lord!
Pastor Kaleb shares a powerful message by speaking about the ABC's of hearing which are awareness, balance, and communication!
Pastor Kaleb continues in the What About Me series and speaks about how the eyes are the gatekeepers of your body - they control the access into the brain and the heart - in order for the Kingdom (rule and reign of Christ) to come, my gatekeepers need to be healthy.
Man looks on the outside but God looks at the heart.
Have you ever wondered what God’s heart is toward you? Or what He thinks of YOUR heart?
We continue in our new series, What About Me? by taking a walk down a road many will travel - we invite you to walk with us.
Everyone has a culture. The question is: What's My Culture? This week, Pastor Kaleb begins a new series that gets personal. You're not made for mediocrity.
NOTE: In the middle section of this sermon, we experienced some technical difficulties. The audio does get better after about 10 minutes.
Pastor Kaleb speaks about some ways to activate ourselves to be used by the Lord: crucify your old life and embrace your new life in Christ, obey the truth, allow God to override your desires, be the light, and put your money where your mouth is!
