03/01/26 Sermon: "The Spirit of Lawlessness" (Be Bold in Your Faith, pt.4)

Be Bold in Your Faith Part 4: The Spirit of Lawlessness 2 Timothy 3:1-5   Whether you're watching the news, scrolling through social media, or just observing what's happening in society, there's a growing trend that's impossible to ignore. It's a blatant disregard for authority that seems to be spreading like wildfire throughout our culture. As Christians, we should feel this disturbance in our Spirit. Do you feel it? We see students openly defying teachers in classrooms. We see employees showing contempt for their supervisors. We see road rage and people filled with anger all around us. We see outright anarchy in the streets, angry mobs mocking and attacking law enforcement and government officials.  Abortion has been normalized, gender confusion abounds and school shootings have become the status quo. We even see children rebelling against their parents in ways that would have seemed unthinkable just a generation ago.  And perhaps most troubling of all, we see people within the church questioning biblical authority and redefining God's standards to fit their own preferences, and many more are walking away from the Lord and their faith altogether.     This isn't just a social problem or a political issue. What we're witnessing is something the Bible warned us about thousands of years ago. It's what Scripture calls "the spirit of lawlessness" and it's been working and active in the world since the very beginning. This Sunday, we’ll examine the origins of lawlessness, what the Bible has to say about it and practical ways that we can stand firm against it.  I hope to see you there! Pastor doug

02/15/26 Sermon: "Be Bold in Your Faith Part 3: You Are the Light of the World"

Be Bold in Your Faith Part 3: You Are the Light of the World   Matthew 5:14-16  “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.   What Jesus is saying to his followers here is a declaration of truth: You are the light of the world. Not "you should try to be" or "you might become." Jesus declares that if you belong to Him, you ARE light. But here's the tension we all feel, we live in a world that constantly pressures us to dim that light, to blend in, and not to stand out.  But that’s not what Jesus did. He preached the good news everywhere he went and with boldness and authority. And if we want to be his disciples, he calls us to do the same.  Our prayer... Jesus, fill us with courage and strength to shine our lights for Your glory and for Your kingdom. May our light shine in such a way that others see our good deeds and glorify You. Jesus, to Your great name be great glory! I love y’all! Pastor Doug

02/08/26 Sermon: "Your Name is Holy"

Your Name is Holy   Exodus 3:4-6, 13-15   The Book of Exodus outlines Moses’ encounter with God Almighty. God reveals that His name is I AM THAT I AM. He is a holy God. So holy in fact, that the Jewish people were afraid to even speak the name Yahweh, instead they called Him: Yod, Heh, Vav, Heh.    But fast forward about 3,500 years.   I believe one of the greatest challenges facing the church today is society’s casual and cavalier attitude towards God. We've become so familiar with God that we've lost our fear of God. And I don't mean terror—I mean that healthy, reverent awe that recognizes who He is and who we are.  We treat prayer like a quick text message to heaven. We approach worship like we're attending a performance. We read Scripture like we're scrolling through social media. And we wonder why our faith feels flat, why our worship feels empty, and why we're not experiencing the power and presence of God.  The problem isn't that God has changed. The problem is that we've lost our sense of reverence.   Please join us this Sunday as we learn how to consecrate ourselves before a Holy God and to give Him the reverence and honor that He deserves.  I love y’all Pastor Doug
