We often measure our spiritual maturity by our knowledge of the Bible, our ability to follow rules, and our giftedness, but Jesus said there is something more important than all of that - Love.In part 1 of our new series, Doug challenges us to love everyone we come into contact with in the same way that Jesus loves us.

In this one part message, Pastor Pavone talks about God's incredible faithfulness!

Sometimes we're great at worshipping God with our lips but not with our lives. This isn't the response God is looking for.In Response Part 2, Doug talks about why it's so important that we don't just tell Jesus we love Him, but that we show Him with our lifestyle.

The way that we worship God is an indicator of our love for God. If our worship is cold and half hearted then there's a good chance that our love for Him is as well. In Response Part 1, Doug talks about how to ignite our passion for God and our passion for worship.

We live in a culture that celebrates strength. This means we tend to either cover up our weaknesses or attempt to make ourselves stronger. The problem is, neither of these strategies work! So what do we do?In The Art Of Being Strong Part 2, Doug talks about what God does in our lives when we celebrate our weakness and look to Him for strength.

In Part 1 of, The Art of Being Strong, Pastor Pavone talks about what to do when we feel discouraged and defeated!

Do you plan on spending the next year in prison? Of course not! But what if something that you and I tend to struggle with will lead us to a prison of sorts?!In Part 4 of This Year, Doug talks about how to avoid being trapped in a prison of our own making this year.

Many of us have big expectations for this year. We think this will be a year of change and progress in our lives. The problem is, if we do things exactly like we did last year, we'll likely get the same results.In Part 3 of This Year, Doug challenges us to learn from our mistakes and ask the question "What does God need to change in me this year?"

We all plan on pursuing many things in 2015. Some of them are good things. They are gifts from God and they will benefit us. Some of them may not be good at all. They will drive a wedge between us and God.In This Year Part 2, rather than try to convince us to pursue good things instead of bad things, Doug challenges us to pursue the greatest and most satisfying thing.

At the end of a year we're often relieved to leave behind the loss, dissapointment and failures we faced. The truth is though, if we don't process what we've been through, we'll probably drag all those things with us into the coming year. So how do we do deal with the hardship of this past year so we can enter the new year in a healthy way? Doug gives us the answer in part 1 of our new series, This Year.
