In this message, we take a look at Luke 5:1-11, and learn the blessing that is in the phrase "Nevertheless."
At the start of the story we find empty boats - no Savior, no fishermen, no fish. What a dramatic turn around when we let Jesus get into "our business" and direct things!

This message encourages us to not just be inspired by the Godly example we see in others, but more importantly, be inspired to action and do our part.
King David as a young boy took care of Goliath, and then years later, some of those who saw what he had done took care of Goliath's brothers.
We are to follow other's Godly examples and be moved to action to fulfill our part in God's will!

A short message in appreciation to moms who love us with a Christ-like love!

This is a song that has ministered to me over the last couple of years - I recently sang it in church and was asked to post it - praying the Lord uses it to bless you as well!
It was written by Chris Llewellyn and Gareth Gilkeson and recorded by Rend Collective.

A short song and testimony about coming to find that there is no one and nothing like Jesus!

An insightful teaching with many questions to personally ponder by looking at the story of Balak, Balaam, a donkey and Israel. Ultimately a teaching that shows that very often we are the cause of the things that frustrate and annoy us and can also be our own worst enemy.

In this teaching, Doug helps you consider if your following of Jesus is conditional - asking questions like: Are you following Jesus' examples or just relating for the benefits? Do you expect more obedience from Jesus than you're giving to Him? How are you giving your life?

Continuing in chapter 1:12-16, the Apostle James switches focus from trial we fall into from outside sources to inner moral struggles and gives us an understanding of the strategy the devil uses to defeat us. Starting with ungodly desires he steps us through moral deception, being disobedient, and spiritual death.

In Session 3 of the James Series we cover verses 9 through 11 in chapter 1, discussing God's view on a specific struggle common to all of us: wealth or money.

In Session 2 of the James Study we will cover verses 1-8 of the letter's first chapter. As we do, we start to understand trials from God's perspective, helping us stay calm and cheerful, seek wisdom, and expect God's help while waiting.
