06/28/26 Sermon: "Jesus & His Disciples" (Small But Mighty, Part 3)

Small But Mighty Part 3: Jesus and His Disciples.  1 Corinthians 1:26-29 Pastor Doug Allen June 28th, 2026   We wrap up our Small But Mighty series this Sunday with what may be the most powerful installment yet. Over the past two weeks we have seen how God used Gideon and his tiny army of 300, and David and his band of unlikely mighty men, to accomplish extraordinary things. This week we bring that same theme right into the New Testament and discover that God's pattern of choosing the small and overlooked reaches its ultimate expression in Jesus Christ Himself. Born in Bethlehem, a small, easy-to-overlook town.    Jesus would grow up and hand His world-changing mission to a small band of ordinary, unschooled fishermen. Men like Peter, who failed spectacularly, yet was graciously restored and went on to build the church of Jesus Christ. And a little boy whose small lunch, freely offered, fed thousands. The message is simple and powerful:  God doesn’t call the equipped, He equips the called. What He is looking for is not your ability, it is your availability. Join us this Sunday as we close the series with a challenge to stop waiting until you feel ready, and instead take a step of faith and say — Yes, Lord. Use me.    I love y’all doug

06/21/26 Sermon: "Fire from Heaven or Love?"

"Fire From Heaven or Love?" Luke 9:51-56       In this story - James and John are ready to call fire down from Heaven and Zapp an entire village. Jesus had other plans. If we are honest, we can often relate with the feelings of James and John. Jesus has other plans for us as well. Love is our calling. Special guest: Rev. David Shivers

06/14/26 Sermon: "David & His Mighty Men" (Small But Mighty - part two)

Small But Mighty Part 2: David and His Mighty Men   What do a ragtag band of World War II fighter pilots, 300 Israelite warriors, and a group of distressed and discontented men hiding in a cave all have in common? They were all written off by the world, but used mightily by God. This Sunday we continue our Small but Mighty series with one of the most overlooked stories in all of Scripture: David and his Mighty Men.    From the cave of Adullam in 1 Samuel 22 to the legendary exploits of warriors like Eleazar and Benaiah in 2 Samuel 23, we'll discover that God has never recruited from the top of the depth chart or from popularity circles. He takes the broken, the overlooked, and the disqualified and transforms them into kingdom champions. God doesn't call the equipped, He equips the called. If you've ever felt too broken, too far gone, or too ordinary to be used by God, this message is for you. Come ready to be encouraged, challenged, and sent out with purpose, kingdom purpose.   I hope to see you Sunday I love y’all doug

06/07/26 Sermon: Small But Mighty, Part 1: "Gideon and the 300"

Small But Mighty, Part 1: "Gideon and the 300" Judges 7:2-7   Have you ever noticed that God rarely works the way we expect Him to? This Sunday, we’ll kick off a brand-new series: Small but Mighty. We’ll look at one of the most surprising military victories in the entire Bible: Gideon and the 300. When God called Gideon, he was hiding in a winepress, convinced he was the least qualified person around. Yet God chose him anyway. And when Gideon finally rallied an army of 32,000 men to face an enemy of 135,000 — God said,  You have too many.  Too many? Only God would say that.    Join us this Sunday as we dig into Judges 6 & 7 and discover why God is far less interested in the size of your group than the condition of your heart. He doesn't need a crowd. He wants committed people — fully surrendered, nothing held back, ready to be used for something only He can get the credit for.    This message will challenge you to ask a simple but powerful question: Am I dry wood or wet wood? Am I on fire for God or am I a lukewarm follower of Jesus?
