Two Cities Church

Are you following Jesus, or just "agreeing" with what he says?

It’s possible to know the right things, attend church, and still hold parts of your life back from God. Romans 12:1-8 challenges us to consider what happens when the mercy we’ve received becomes a reality we respond to.

In this message, we explore what following Jesus looks like beyond Sunday. From our everyday choices to the thoughts shaping us and the gifts we’ve been given, God calls us to a faith that changes how we live. Discover why that change goes deeper than trying harder, and what it looks like to take your next step.

In this message, we explore:

- What it means to surrender your whole life to God

- How ordinary places become places of worship

- Why changing your behavior isn’t enough

- How to recognize the lies shaping your choices

- How to discover and use your spiritual gifts

- Why God’s mercy is the motivation for lasting change

What do you do when obeying the government conflicts with following Jesus?

Romans 13 calls Christians to submit to governing authorities. But that authority has limits, and our highest allegiance belongs to Christ.

In this message, Pastor Kyle explores God’s design for government and what it means to be a good citizen without compromising your faith. From public life to everyday decisions at work and home, following Jesus calls us to honor authority, stand firm in our convictions, and love the people God puts in front of us.

In this message, we explore:

- God’s purpose for government

- The distinct roles of family, church, and government

- When Christians must obey God over earthly authorities

- Why courage can’t wait until standing up feels easier

- How to love your neighbors through words and actions

What do you do when you have questions about God that you can’t answer?

We often want to understand why God does what he does and how everything fits together. But Romans 11 reminds us that we can know God truly without knowing him fully.

In Romans 11:25-36, Pastor Kyle shows us that mystery isn’t meant to push us away from God. It should humble us, deepen our trust, and ultimately lead us to worship.

In this message, you’ll learn:

- Why it’s okay to admit there are things about God you don’t understand

- How unanswered questions can produce humility instead of doubt

- Why God’s mercy should change the way we see and treat others

- How what we know about God should lead us to worship

- Why you can worship God even while you’re still waiting for answers

You don’t have to understand everything about God to trust him. You can bring your questions with you and worship him in the middle of them.

We all have people in our lives that we want to believe and follow Jesus. But when someone continues to reject God, it can be easy to assume their unbelief is the end of the story.

In Romans 11, Paul reminds us that God does not give up on his people. Through Paul’s own story, Israel’s unbelief, and the picture of branches being grafted back into an olive tree, we see that God has the power to save all types of sinners and to graft people in again.

In this message, Pastor Kyle shows us why we should be humble, hopeful, and hold on, trusting God even when we can’t see everything he is doing.

In this message, you’ll learn:

- Why you shouldn’t write off someone God may still be working in

- How Paul’s story shows that God can save all types of sinners

- Why you’re never as alone as you think you are

- How God can use rejection as redirection

- What it looks like to live a life that makes others want what you have in Christ

- Why Christians should respond to unbelief with humility, hope, and perseverance

- What it means that God has the power to “graft them in again”

How do you trust God with what's next when you can't see what he's going to do?

In 1 Samuel 7, Israel looks back after years of waiting, struggle, and uncertainty and declares, “Till now the LORD has helped us.” The stone Samuel raises isn't a finish line. It's a reminder that the God who was faithful in the past can be trusted with the future.

As Pastor Kyle closes out The Heights Conference and celebrates 10 years of God's faithfulness at Two Cities Church, he challenges us not to simply remember what God has done, but to let his past faithfulness change how we live today and how we face tomorrow.

In this message, you'll discover:

- Why God's slowness doesn't mean God has said no

- How remembering God's faithfulness builds faith for the future

- Why repentance requires more than simply feeling convicted

- How to identify what may be competing with God for your heart

- Why the moments when God moves should lead to everyday obedience

- How to move forward when anxiety makes you wonder, “What if?”

What if Jesus doesn't pull away from your brokenness but moves straight toward it?

When life feels messy, heavy, or complicated, the natural instinct is to hide or assume God wants nothing to do with us. But throughout scripture and the life of Jesus, we see the exact opposite: Jesus is drawn to broken people.

Night three of The Heights Conference, Pastor Vance Pitman unpacks the raw simplicity of the gospel, what it looks like to encounter Jesus right in the middle of your mess, and how ordinary believers are called to live sent in everyday culture.

How far are you willing to go to get your friends to Jesus?

In Mark 2, four friends faced an impossible crowd, tore off the roof of a house, and lowered a paralyzed man straight to the feet of Christ.

In this message from The Heights Conference, Pastor Joby Martin challenges us to examine our faith and ask the hard question: Are we willing to break through comfort, pride, and inconvenience to see our friends saved and healed?

What does it take to sustain real spiritual fire in your everyday life?

In this opening message, from The Heights Conference, Pastor Kevin Myers (founding pastor of 12Stone Church) shares a powerful message on how deep, daily dependence on God keeps your passion from burning out and transforms you into a "walking revival."

You can hear about Jesus and even be familiar with Christianity without ever truly surrendering your life to him.

In Romans 10:16-21, Paul shows us that genuine faith is more than simply hearing the truth. Real belief leads to a response. It produces obedience and begins to reorient the way we live under the lordship of Jesus.

In this message, Pastor Spencer unpacks what it means to truly believe in Jesus, why hearing and understanding the gospel aren't the same as responding to it, and how we can distinguish familiarity with Christianity from genuine faith.

You'll learn:

- Why genuine faith leads to obedience

- The difference between hearing the gospel and responding to it

- Four essential truths at the heart of the gospel

- Why knowing about Jesus isn't the same as knowing him

- How God's patience gives us hope for those who haven't yet believed

This message reminds us that faith isn't about living a perfect life. It's about a life increasingly surrendered to Jesus. And even when people resist him, God remains patient and persistent, holding out his hands with an ongoing offer of forgiveness.

How will people believe in Jesus if no one ever tells them about him?

In Romans 10:5-15, Paul shows us God’s plan for taking the good news of Jesus to the world: He sends his people, the gospel is shared, people hear, they believe, and they call on Jesus.

But billions of people around the world still live without access to the gospel. And for those of us who have heard, it can be easy to assume that reaching them is someone else’s responsibility.

In this message, Pastor Kyle unpacks why telling others about Jesus matters and what it looks like for every Christian and every local church to take part in God’s mission.

In this message, you'll discover:

- Why we cannot save ourselves through good works or religious activity

- What it means to believe in Jesus and confess him as Lord

- Why anyone can be saved through faith in Jesus

- What the Bible says about people who have never heard about Jesus

- Why people need to hear the gospel in order to believe

- How God uses ordinary people to bring the gospel to others

- What it means to pray, give, go, and send so others can hear

Whether across the street or across the world, God has chosen to use his people to carry the good news of Jesus to those who need to hear.
