Dr. Kincl begins a series of the “Hard Sayings of Jesus” with this difficult passage from Matthew chapter 5. What was Jesus REALLY saying when he told us to “turn the other cheek,” or “go the extra mile?” Listen closely as Dr. Kincl explains this hard saying of Jesus.

While we typically do not podcast our Wednesday night sermons, this series on Financial Fundamentals is a “can’t miss” series for ALL Christian Americans. With the economy at the forefront of most everyone’s mind, how can we as believers better manage our money? Follow the extended sermon outline below and be prepared to take control of your financial situation with Biblical advice from Dr. Kincl.

One of the hardest sayings of Jesus, and one that He said often is found in four different contexts in the gospels. The first shall be last, and the last shall be first. What does Jesus mean by this?

As Christians, we have full access to the power of God through prayer.  Dr. Kincl reminds that God is predisposed to say yes to the prayers of his children, but He is not a "genie in a bottle."  We are more inclined to remember the times he has said "no" to us than the times he has answered our prayers with yes.  If you are looking for God to move a mountain in your life, this sermon is for you.  Follow along in Mat. 21:21 and Mark 11:23.

The beginning message in a series about the church, Dr. Kincl shares about the vitality of LEARNING for a growing church.  Based on the main passage of scripture that will be dissected all month, Acts 2:42-47, the Pastor shares from his heart about learning from the Bible and gives insight into its supernatural nature and sufficiency.  You'll want to listen closely to the nuance in some of Dr. Kincl's opening remarks as he points out with clarity the NECESSITY for each person to make it their goal to LEARN from whoever is teaching from the scriptures.

Continuing in his series on Immanuel: A 21st Century New Testament Church, Dr. Kincl reveals how Immanuel can be a church devoted to worship.  We must acknowledge God in everything and have the right attitude for worship.  Follow along in Acts 2:42-47 and Psalm 27.

Based on the passage of scripture from Paul's famous sermon on Mars Hill, Dr. Kincl gives some practical advice on how to witness to the world.  Follow along in Acts 17:16-34.

We celebrate the greatest day in history every Easter Sunday!  Dr. Kincl shared from his heart that Easter is all about living forever.  Jesus is the focus of this message.  Follow along in John 11:25-26.

Dr. Kincl shares the secret of living a Spirit-filled life.  Reasearch has shown that Southern Baptists know least about God-the Holy Spirit in comparison to their knowledge of God-the Father and God-the Son.  You'll want to follow along in John 14:15-17.

In this first-ever sermon by Dr. Kincl on "the poor," he shares God's heart for the poor. With a practical challenge for the church body at the end of this sermon, you will definitely want to listen and be challenged. Follow along in Matthew 25:31-46.
