Preach the Word.

Pastor Doug preaches on the Power of the Tongue; though not about what we say to ourselves, but about how our words can affect the physical. In that, what we say and how we say it carry's power. And if we only speak death, the atmosphere and people around us are impacted. But if we were to speak life and about Jesus Christ, life would flourish in our realm of influence and in the people we can reach.

God is calling us to a deeper place, a deeper place in our relationship with Him. And though we may not see it all the time, the work that God has started in us He will finish it. But as Pastor Doug talks about in his message, it's important to know the Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How so we as Christians can walk with the certainty and the authority that Christ has given us.

With the solar eclipse at hand, there are many people speculating about what's to come. Even outside of this event, there are stories and narratives of the world that are vying for our attention. But as Pastor Doug talks on today, it times to tune in and listen to God's Narrative and not the worlds. For His narrative and His Truth will never lead us astray, unlike the world and Satan.

Praise God Jesus has resurrected and is alive today! Pastor Doug Jentes teaches on Jesus in how he came not only to fulfill the prophecy's and "requirements" of old, but too also complete the mission of paying the price for our sins, and giving us a way to new life.

Pastor Doug Jentes pulls from the scriptures of Proverbs, preaching about how without prophetic vision, or a Vision in general, it will lead to death. Furthermore, if we focus on the incomplete vision of the physical, we lose sight of the spiritual vision that God is trying to show us. But when we focus on the spiritual vision that Jesus provides, real change will come.

Guest Speaker Matt Eckhart preaches on the subject of Multiplication. That, when we apply the principles of Discipleship that the Bible teaches, we as the Body and the Holy Spirit can multiply Disciples of Christ astronomically. But only if we are open and listening for God to lead us, and for us to be obedient to the commission that Jesus Christ Himself gave us.

Pulling from the book of Joshua, Pastor Doug Jentes preaches on the spiritual battle that we as Christians fight. That the Bible teaches us how to fight, and if we cannot fight, to flee from evil and resist the Devil. But if we are to freeze up, do nothing, or give into temptation and the desires of the world, we will hide our sin in our hearts and mind. But now is not the time to give in, it is time to stop hiding the sin in our hearts, but to confess to God and stand with Him in victory.

Focusing on Matthew chapter 7, Pastor Doug Jentes shares the importance of what Jesus was saying in the Sermon on the Mount. That being, if anything else, you must adhere to the Word of God (and Jesus) as your foundation. For your faith, for your walk, for everything in your life. For if you do not stand firm on the foundation of God, your will sink in the shifting sands.

Guest Speaker Pete Frank takes about Gospelink, a ministry with a global focus on native missionaries to carry the Gospel to the unknown and unreached groups of the world. And in his explanation, he not only testifies of the good that God is doing in the world; but also, how it was tasked to us as well to take the Gospel to those who are lost and need Christ.

Throughout the Bible, it tells account after account of trials and hardships. From the Old Testament to the New, wherever people are hardship follows. But as Pastor Doug preaches on today, it is from those stories and scars that we can testify of God's might. Not just from the Bible, but from our own lives. That, it's no longer necessary to live in our past and mistakes, but to live in the life that God has called us to, testifying and living for His Glory.

Unfortunately, people within the church often think that worship is simple. That the only way to do it is to play instruments and have a good voice. But as Pastor Doug preaches on in this message, there are more ways (in fact, 7 ways) to worship our God. And though they are different, they are each powerful in their own right, and are able to change the atmosphere of a room and our circumstances.

There are many stories in the Bible (new and old testament) that have a message and a meaning. But as we read through them, it isn't uncommon to read them and miss the point. To miss the point of what God is trying to tell us. And as Pastor Doug preaches about and touches on, these are not simple stories with a moral lesson; they are instead the testimonies of God, breathing life and meaning into our lives through the Living Word of God.

With a multi-baptism service, Pastor Doug preaches on the importance of baptism; in how its not the act itself thats saves you, but by the belief and declaration of Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Additionally, while the baptism is very symbolic in many ways, it is a declaration to the world that you are a new creation and are pursuing a new life!

Guest Speaker Matt Eckhart speaks about the mission that Jesus has called us to and given us permission in main parts: Permission for the mission, Commissioned for the mission, and what the Engine is for the mission. Moreover, since He has given us the Holy Spirit, commission, and permission, we can go! Not because of a speaker or what someone else says, but because Christ Himself has given us the signal to go.

As we head into the New Year, it isn't uncommon for people to have or make "New Year's Resolutions". But as we have often experienced, we fall short and stop soon after the new year begins. However, as Pastor Doug explains and believes, that this year is the year we shall see God's Faithfulness.

And if we trust Him in his Faithfulness, whether its in our resolutions or other parts of our lives, we will see Him come through according to His will. Happy New Years!

Merry Christmas to all! In Todays message, Pastor Doug speaks on Christmas, the true reason to celebrate it, and how the Bible (from the beginning until the New Testament) was foretelling the coming of the greatest gift of all: Jesus Christ.

One of the hardest things for people to say is "I need help". It is hard to admit that we don't have control over a situation in our life, especially when it comes to our spiritual walk. But when we begin to admit our helplessness, and huble ourselves before God, he can work in wonderous ways.

It is not uncommon to go through our day to day feeling disconnected to God. That, on Sundays we can perceive God's presence, but on any other day of the week He seems to be gone. But as Pastor Doug talks about in his message, we have to question if we are allowing God to move in our lives. We have to question if we are being intentional with God, having a willing heart, mind, and spirit to commune with Him and pray.

Prayer is a powerful thing that god has given us, both for our relationship with Him and talking with him about our lives and our needs. However, more often than not, we underestimate the power of prayer. In doing so, we half-heartedly pray, not truly believing in what we pray.

But as Pastor Doug talks about in his message, our prayers do have power. There are times where all it takes one more prayer. One more prayer for that breakthrough, one more prayer for a revelation, just one more if we push forward and hold on to His promises. For all of His promises are yes and amen.

When we come with unrealistic expectations that are not in line with God, and he "disappoints" us, what did we expect? As Pastor Doug talks about in todays message with the two accounts of Peter fishing; it is time to lay down our expectations and let God be God. For as we see in todays message, it did not matter how much Peter had failed, what mattered was that His Grace covered him, and that he loved Jesus regardless of what happened.

Pastor Doug Jentes dives in to the story of Noah's Ark, and the door that God shut before the flood came. For in that time, the door was the only way to access the boat, and to be spared the destruction of the flood. But as Doug mentions in todays sermon, the same goes for Jesus. Jesus is the only way to saved, just as it was in the days of Noah.

In todays message, Pastor Doug teaches on 2nd Samuel chapter five on King David fighting the Philistines. That at times, we rush to fight the enemy, when the Lord is saying to stop and let Him go first, claiming the victory. And in waiting, when we hear the rustling of the trees over head, God has given us the signal to go and claim the victory that God has given us.

Guest Speaker Jared Smith talks about the Prodigal Son story, and how for him personally and for the church, it is time to remember and return. It's time to remember who our Father in Heaven is, who we are in Christ, and that He has called us to so much more than we ask for.

As Pastor Doug describes in the beginning, this message is a spaghetti bowl: for while it may seem disconnected, there is a word for everyone in this message.

From being a new creation because of the blood of Christ, shaking off the graveclothes, to realizing and remembering that we are a Child of God. Tune in to hear more about all of this and more from Pastor Doug Jentes.

With the world increasingly becoming hostile to church, trying to convince us the Word of God is false, it can be hard to remain faithful to God and His truth. But as Pastor Doug teaches from the book of Jude, now is the time to not falter, but to contend for our Faith!

To stand by the truth that is the Bible and content for what is righteous and holy. Not by our strength alone, but by the revelation and testimony of Jesus Christ, and the Blood of Christ that was shed for us.

Whether we realize it or not, our words can have a massive effect on people's life, even if we only speak to them once. And in those one off encounters, or with people close to us, are we lifting them up or weighing them down.

In other words, if the people we meet are drowning in life, are we casting them a life preserver to uplift, or are we handing them bricks to sink? Tune in today as Pastor Doug preaches about this and more!

Tune in today as Guest Speaker Jeremy Moore talks about our hope in Christ. In that, despite the times we live in, and the hardships we face, we must keep our eyes on the Lord, for He is our only hope.

What is worship? Is it simply coming to church on a Sunday morning with a band, a few songs, and prayer? Or is it something more? Tune it today as guest speaker Lucas Binkerd talks about Biblical worship, and what it really means.

When reading through the Bible, it may seem like there are details and passages that are "useless". That, even within the context of the scripture makes no sense at first glance.

But, as we see in todays message, that our God is a God of detail. That, even if we think that a scripture (or ourselves at times) has no purpose; God will use the smallest of details and people for His glory, His plans, and for the benefit of His people.

In the book of Exodus 11-12, we see that God has sent the plague of the first born to Egypt, taking away the lives of the first born in all of Egypt. But God told His people that if they are to be protected, they need only cover the doorposts of their house with the blood of a sacrificial lamb. And that when they did, and the plague came, He told his people that he would pass over.

If we Christians are covered by the Blood of Christ, then what do we have to fear? Not the plagues that will come, not the Pharaohs in our life that oppresses us, nor the world that would condemn us. Nothing can pluck us from the hands of the Father. Tune in to hear more of the Passover and the Blood that protects and covers.

Whenever we take our eyes of the Savior, we lose sight of who we are in Christ. We start to think we are not worthy and focus on our mistakes, and believe that what God has in store for us is a mistake.

But as we learned today, that is a lie from the enemy. Because in Christ, we are worthy, we are Children of God, and God believes in us and the work He is doing in us! Tune in today to learn more.
