"Re-Vision: Jesus Loves the Nations... and You!"
September 7, 2014 - Why do we continue to value doing whatever it takes to get the Gospel to other nations? Why do we value the personal and relational touch so much that we keep going back to the Philippines, despite the high cost?

""Serve Our City! It's Time to Wash the Feet of Our Neighbors"
July 27, 2014 - In John 13, Jesus specifically states that he's given us an example to follow when he washes the disciples' feet. What does that look like in our day and age?

"Father's Day, 2014 - The Life-Transforming Love of Father God!"
June 15, 2014 - The term "father" can carry a lot of negative baggage for many people, skewing their view of God as a father. However, God is a Father, and his character and nature is nothing but love, or, as Tullian Tchividian puts it, "one way love."

From there, Pastor Doug puts the verse in context, and challenges us to not just trust God, but to partner with His church with finances, time, and resources to impact Moses Lake for His Kingdom. He closes with a clear need for the month of June.

"The Church as a Family: Dads and Moms in God's House!"
May 18, 2014 - We need men and women who will be spiritual mothers and father in our church family. In this message, Pastor Doug looks at both sides of this relationship. As mature Christians, how can we honor those younger than us - in the faith, or biologically - by intentionally seeking them out and being a mother or father to them. As younger Christians, how can we honor those who have gone before us in our actions and words by allowing them to speak into our lives. This is an important, but sometimes overlooked, practice in the Western Church culture.

"He Nailed It! Shocked and Suprised By The Cross"
April 6, 2014 - How in the world could a device used for the most tortuous death ever invented by man be a symbol of hope?! Some religions goes so far as to say the cross has no meaning or power, or that Jesus didn't actually die on it. Yet the Apostle Paul says, "... to us who are being saved it is the power of God." (1 Corinthians 1:18) Pastor Doug explains how this can be true as we continue our journey towards Easter.
