Joshua - Faithful to His Word // The God Who Saves

Kyle Kauffman | Sept 20 2026 How often do you consider the fact that God has saved you? Does it still amaze you when you consider the fact that God has saved you? In Joshua 2 we encounter the incredible story of Rahab hiding the Israelite spies to spare their lives and then asking for them to spare her life when God gives them the city of Jericho. It’s a story that displays God’s power to save and His plan to save people from all nations. We see God saving the Israelite spies from the threat of the king of Jericho even as he simultaneously saves Rahab from the threat of his impending judgment on Jericho. In this story we get a glimpse into who God saves, why God saves, how God saves. This story invites us to marvel over God’s salvation even as it also invites us to be a continued part of His plan to save others.

Joshua - Faithful to His Word // Be Strong and Courageous

Kyle Kauffman | Sept 6 2026 Joshua begins with the greatest change that the young nation of Israel has experienced so far. Their trusted and faithful leader who God used to bring them out of slavery and guide them through the wilderness is dead just as they are about to begin their greatest challenge so far: taking possession of the land God has promised to give them. A new leader whom God has chosen steps into the giant shoes Moses has left behind. Can he continue the legacy of Moses? Will he be successful in leading this people into the promised land? Or will this nation fall apart before it even has a chance to be established? As everything seems to be changing for Joshua and Israel, they are invited to place their confidence not in their leader or in themselves, but in God. Although Moses is dead, the same God who was with Moses and the people, who led them through the wilderness, who provided for their every need, and who promised to bring them into this land, is the God who is still with them in this moment. And He is the same God who is with us today amid all the changing circumstances of our lives. He invites us to place our confidence in Him and to find strength and courage for whatever we are facing today.

Songs of Faith for All of Life // Praising God in Every Season

Kyle Kauffman | Aug 30 2026 Life in this world can be very chaotic, hard, and painful as we have seen in looking at different Psalms. But life in this world can also be very good, pleasant, and delightful. The Psalms don’t shy away from dealing with the difficulty of life and neither do they shy away from celebrating the goodness of life. Psalm 103 is an anthem to the goodness of God. It reminds us that in the midst of the goodness of this life we are invited to turn to the one who stands behind all that goodness and who is always perfectly good. We are invited to praise Him and give thanks to Him so that he might receive the glory he deserves and we might experience the joy we so deeply long for.

Songs of Faith for All of Life // When Life is Weighed with Guilt

Kyle Kauffman | Aug 23 2026 You likely know the feeling. We say something, do something, or think something that is sinful. You weight it and know it wasn’t loving to God or to other people. A guilt pierces your conscience and immediately you wish you could take it back. What do you do in that moment? Seek to quickly move on and act like it’s no big deal? Wallow in the guilt and shame of what an awful person you are? God invites us down a much better path when we sin and need forgiveness. We neither have to avoid our sin or dwell in our sin. We can take it to God, confess it to God, and freely receive the forgives Jesus has secured for us. This leads us not to despair and distance in our sin, but to renewed joy and communion with God which gives us strength to continue to live for Him.

Songs of Faith for All of Life // When Life Feels Out of Control

Josh Stalnaker | Aug 16 2026 Life is, ultimately, out of our control. So, how do we react to this reality? Do we panic and anxiously wait for the next bad thing to happen? Do we react with cynicism towards the world and its troubles? Or do we rest in the power of God as outlined in Psalm 46? The 46th Psalm is a reminder that God is present in the troubles of life and the world. It reminds us that He is our refuge and He is our strength. This Psalm also reveals that God’s power is so great that neither natural disaster nor war should cause us fear. As we look to this Psalm, let us live its truth out, that we may be bold in knowing “The Lord of hosts is with us!”

Songs of Faith for All of Life // When Life Feels Dark

Kyle Kauffman | Aug 9 2026 There are times in life when darkness seems to settle over our hearts and minds like a thundercloud over a playground. Where there used to be laughter, joy, and life, there now only seems to be silence, sadness, and loneliness. This darkness may come because of some specific situation we are facing. It may come because of some spiritual reality. Or it may come because of some physical and biological reality. Often, there’s probably intermixed pieces of all three. The darkness may come in waves, breaking at times, or it may come as a massive flood that doesn’t seem to let up. It may last of r just a short time or it may be a season that lingers on without an end in sight. What do we do when life feels dark and hopeless? How can we respond when the weight of life seems too great to bear? How do we turn to God in the moments when God can so easily feel distant or even absent? Psalm 77 gives us a faithful companion to help us walk through the darkness in relationship to God as we continue to seek Him and trust in in the midst of the darkness.

Songs of Faith for All of Life // When Life is Fearful

Kyle Kauffman | Aug 2 2026 There are all sorts of things that can make us fearful and anxious. There are internal struggles that make us feel anxious as we wrestle with sin and weakness. There are external struggles that make us anxious as we face all sorts of difficulties and challenges in a world broken by sin. There are real threats that make us anxious – illness, wayward children, financial struggles, wars, things on the news, etc. And then there are also possible threats that make us anxious – fearing rejection, loss of job, the worst-case scenarios, etc. There is no lack of things in this life that may lead us to be fearful and anxious. And those fears and anxieties have been compounded in our internet and social media age where worst case scenarios or our failure to measure up is always simply a swipe away. In the midst of all our fears and anxieties, God invites us to turn to Him. He wants us to come to Him, to trust Him, and to cast our anxieties upon Him. We may be tempted to think that God does not care (especially if the thing that’s causing us anxiety seems small or insignificant). But He does care and He wants us to come to Him with all our cares! When life feels fearful it’s an opportunity to turn to God in trust and experience the peace He can give us.

A Featured Message // Make Your Life Matter

Keith Rohrer | Jul 26 2026 If you’re 14-22, you’re probably thinking about what you want to do with your life and who you want to become. Many people and experiences will influence what you decide. Does God get a say? Would you consider His plans for you if they differed from yours?

Gospel Clarity in a Confusing Culture // Closing Time

Kyle Kauffman | Jul 19 2026 We do not live in 1st century Corinth like the people Paul was writing to in this letter. We live in 21st century America where there are both surprising similarities and significant differences to the church and culture in 1st century Corinth. We have seen both of those as we’ve walked through this letter. Perhaps one of the greatest and most wonderful similarities is that the church continues today, 2,000 years later, to be an enduring testimony to the grace of God. Whether it is Keystone Church or millions of other biblical churches across the globe, the continued existence and witness of the church is a testimony to the grace of God in the gospel. The gospel gives birth to the church and church exists to display and proclaim the gospel. This is what we find in Paul’s concluding chapter of his letter to the Corinthians and it’s what we continue to be called to live out today as a church.
