Senior Pastor
Sermon Summary Today, Pastor Doug talked about how God is always right on time, and discussed how the Lord’s actions are always perfectly timed to accomplish His sovereign purposes. In Galatians, we read these words: “But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, to redeem…
Sermon Summary This week, Pastor Doug continued with Part 2 of his series “The Wonder of Christmas—God at Work in History,” which explores the story of Jesus’ birth and what it means for believers. In Matthew Chapter 1, verses 18-25, we read the account of an angel of the Lord visiting Joseph in a dream,…
Sermon Summary Today, Pastor Doug spoke about how God has been at work throughout history, from the creation of Adam through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Looking at Matthew 1:1-17, we see Matthew’s version of the Christmas story. But Matthew is not just writing the Christmas story, he is writing a biography of the life…
Sermon Summary Today, Pastor Doug concluded our study of the Old Testament book of Judges. He reminded us that this is not an inspirational book, but rather a very instructive book, as it records one of the darkest periods in Israel’s history. As we discussed last week, during the period of the judges, “there was…
Sermon Summary Today, Pastor Doug spoke about the markers of a deteriorating society, comparing the state of current American society with that of Israel in the book of Judges. The similarities are unmistakable, and God’s truth for the ancient Israelites is the same for us today in modern-day America. Pastor Doug outlined three indicators that…
Sermon Summary What kind of a person does God use to accomplish his eternal purposes in this world? Jacob, the father of the Israelite nation, was a liar. Joseph, who saved Israel from starvation, was a slave. Moses, who led Israel out of slavery, was a fugitive, a shepherd, and a murderer. God uses ordinary…
Sermon Summary God has always tested the faith and commitment of his people. For example, he tested Adam and Eve’s obedience to his one command. As you know, they failed miserably (Genesis 3:6). God tested Abraham when he asked him to offer his only son Isaac as a sacrifice. Abraham passed his test (Genesis 22:12).…
Sermon Summary There are churches on every corner—why are we having so little impact in our culture? Over the past fifty years America has experienced a rapid, moral and spiritual decline. It has affected all of us. Consider the Clinton-Lewinski fiasco. The number of Americans who thought adultery was no big deal, as long as…
Sermon Summary It has long been noted that no country in the west, resembling the United States, is mentioned in end time prophecy. Russia, China, Iran and some ten European nations are there, but not us. How can that be? Perhaps it is because as history reaches its God-appointed conclusion, the U.S. will either have…
Sermon Summary Suffering comes to all of us; it doesn’t discriminate. In the midst of pain we cry out to God, “Why me? What have I done to deserve this?” When you need him most, he seems most remote. Today we are going to examine the problem of pain and the dilemma of maintaining faith…
