We've all heard the phrase "desperate times call for desperate measures." In "HELP! I'm Desperate!", Pastor Mike O'Connell teaches through two stories of healing in Matthew 9. These miracles reveal the character of God and how by humbling ourselves we can experience His power in our lives. When you are feeling desperate, choose to turn towards Jesus and away from depression.

"Crash Course" is a thoughtful sermon by Pastor Todd Doxzon where he examines the themes of wisdom and foolishness, using personal anecdotes and biblical teachings. He underscores the significance of understanding the Bible as a life guidebook given by God, and the critical need for applying its teachings to daily life, rather than merely reading or listening. Drawing from a powerful metaphor in Matthew 7:24-27, Doxzon showcases the importance of residing one's life on the sturdy foundation of Jesus' teachings, stressing that only those who act upon Jesus' teachings will withstand life's metaphorical storms, while those who don't will be swept away. Moving forward, Pastor Todd draws attention to additional subjects, such as judgment and the golden rule, provoking the congregation to replace judgment and condemnation with understanding, forgiveness, and love. Furthermore, he juxtaposes the 'narrow gate' representing the challenging road to life against the 'broad gate' denoting the straightforward path to destruction, instilling the importance of selecting the narrow gate by unfalteringly loving God and committing ourselves to His teachings. By combining rich metaphors and accessible language, Doxzon humorously and effectively guides his congregation in recognizing the implications of their choices, encouraging them to actively seek wisdom and adhere to the Bible's teachings, thus assuring them of a life filled with God’s glory.

Do you pray more in public or in private? It comes down to this question: Why are you seeking God? In this teaching, Pastor Mike O'Connell invites some of his friends to join him in diving deep into Matthew 6. As you consider your relationship with the Lord, remember the goal is not to be seen by man but to be known by God!

In the sermon titled "A Rebel with a Cause," Pastor Todd Doxzon explores the life and message of John the Baptist, emphasizing his role as the forerunner of Christ. John is portrayed as a revolutionary, comfortable in his own skin, and unafraid to go against societal norms. The main message of John the Baptist is repentance and turning to God, with a focus on changing one's mind and behavior. The sermon also touches on the themes of baptism and burning, highlighting the importance of aligning one's actions with their faith and finding identity in God's love.

Do you ever feel like you are walking through life in darkness? In The Light Has Come, Pastor Todd Doxzon shares a Christmas message from Matthew 4. Jesus came to Earth to bring light to darkness, hope to the hopeless. The Light has come and He is ready to bring you life!

It doesn't take much to convince ourselves that God isn't speaking to us. In Divine Dialogue, Pastor Mike O'Connell shares the story of Habakkuk's response from God. When you feel like you aren't hearing from God, be encouraged by His command to write the vision clearly so that it can be shared clearly!

Do you ever feel like you are running from God and the plans that He has for your life? In "Running From God", Pastor Todd Doxzon teaches through the story of Jonah. When storms come up in your life, remember that it's not too late to repent and turn to God -- even if you have been running!

Sometimes it can seem like our lives have been consumed by problems and plagues of locusts. In his teaching, “He’s Not Done With You Yet,” Pastor Todd Doxzon teaches from Joel 1-2 and shows that sometimes the Lord sends the plagues to get our attention so that He can reveal His promise. He is calling us back to Himself, if we repent and return, He can’t wait to relent and restore.

In this message, "When Love Wins", Pastor Ben Norvig teaches from the book of Hosea. He reminded that we all have tendencies to be like Gomer and choose to be unfaithful to the Lord. But through the prophet Hosea, the Lord shows how His love is unrelenting and his pursuit unending for the bride that He paid for.

Deuteronomy calls us to be strong and courageous and there is no better example of that than the life of Daniel. In The Call For Courage, Pastor Mike O'Connell shares how we can experience the courage cycle by following the example that Daniel set. The next time you need courage, remember to call on the Lord!
