Divine Savior Church-Doral

A message by Pastor Caleb Schmiege.  Most of us feel completely wiped out. Endless demands on our time crush us. Even our “vacations” are manic. If we only had more time! We have forgotten the ancient wisdom of Sabbath, rooted in God’s own rhythm of work and rest. Sabbath means rest. The gift of Sabbath (rest) is essential to our full humanity and faith. Since God knows how much we need Sabbath an...

A message by Pastor Ben Keurth.  No one’s perfect. How many times have we regretted making a rude comment that hurt someone’s feelings? How many times did we think of our own selfish wants while trampling on someone else’s needs? Break a promise to our kid? Get caught doing something we shouldn’t do? Wouldn’t it be nice to get a second chance? We don’t live in a world where second chances or “do-o...

A message on 1 Thessalonians 4:1-12, 5:23-24 by Pastor Caleb Schmiege. The Roman world was full of many temptations just like ours is today. Casual sex was a way of life for many. Finding a Christian spouse was difficult. Being lazy and freeloading off of others was commonplace. It wasn’t easy to live a sanctified life pleasing to the Lord. But that didn’t stop the Thessalonians from trying. More...

A message on  1 Thessalonians 3:6-13, 5:10-11 by Pastor Ben Keurth.  To be a Christian in Thessalonica was not easy. They faced persecution and many trials. But they endured because life was different now. They knew they didn’t face these challenges alone. They had the encouragement of their church family. This made them want to stand firm in the Lord as they looked for ways to love and support ea...

A message by Pastor Ben Keurth.  When the Thessalonians first heard the gospel, they realized it was wonderfully different than any message they’d ever heard before. That’s why they received it as they did—not as the words of mere human beings, but as God’s Word—life changing and worth holding onto for dear life. We also want to take all of God’s truth seriously because even in our modern world it...

A message by Pastor Ben Keurth.  The Thessalonians turned away from the idols they used to serve. Why? The power of the gospel! Idols are demanding. But Jesus is different! Unlike idols, Jesus is the only living God who, even when you fail him, will not punish you and doesn’t demand more from you. He is the only Lord who even when you fall short, forgives you freely by his grace. Live for him and...

A message on John 6:26-31 by Pastor Caleb Schmiege. There are false gods battling for the place of honor in our lives. We can’t live the life God wants us to live when we are pursuing something else. Behind the sins we struggle with, the discouragement we deal with, and the lack of purpose we live with, are false gods that are winning the battle for our hearts. They are vying for our attention. Bu...

A message on Jonah by Pastor Ben Keurth. The last couple of years showed us more than ever how divided we are as a people. We are divided along racial lines, political lines, gender lines, religious lines, and economic lines. It is too easy for us to think in terms of “us and them.” We judge others on this basis, and we feel superior. We tend to emphasize the weaknesses of those on “their” side an...

A message on Mark 9:33-37  by Pastor Ben Keurth.  “They must be doing something right!” Have you ever thought or muttered that when someone roared past you in their sports car or fancy boat? Or while you were watching a professional sports contest or singing contest? Or browsing the blog or YouTube channel of a successful influencer? We spend lots of time at the “altar of influence” worshiping god...

A message on Genesis 29:31-35  by Pastor Ben Keurth. Would you do anything for love? “Falling in love” with another person often keeps us from thinking straight. It takes a high place of importance. It isn’t hard for that kind of infatuation to take a place higher in our hearts than it should. We spend lots of time at the “altar of love” worshiping gods of romance, family, and our own ego. These t...

A message on John 10:10  by Pastor Caleb Schmiege. It is easy in this world to think that the “best life” or “life to the full” means binging on all the things that bring us temporary pleasure. Didn’t the year of shut-down show us how powerfully addicting binging on Netflix, snack foods, and alcohol can be? We were made to worship God, but we often end up spending lots of time at the “altar of ple...

A message on Mark 10:17-27  by Pastor Ben Keurth.  We live in a world where everyone wants to be “King of the hill,” right? Climb the ladder. Be on top. Be the highest-paid whatever we are. We were made to worship God, but we often end up spending lots of time at the “altar of power” worshiping gods of success, money, and achievement. These false gods, which are so attractive to our world, keep us...

A message on Exodus 20:2-6 by Pastor Ben Keurth.  There are false gods battling for the place of honor in our lives. We can’t live the life God wants us to live when we are pursuing something else. Behind the sins we struggle with, the discouragement we deal with, and the lack of purpose we live with, are false gods that are winning the battle for our hearts. We were made to worship God, but we of...

A message on Matthew 25:31-46 by Pastor Ben Keurth. We believe Jesus will return and judge the sin of each person. Believers should prepare for and eagerly await this second coming. While our confession is of truth, it is belief in the truth God has revealed. We don't insist on all the details, but rely on the wisdom of God in his plan.  If you would like to learn more about us or join us liv...

A message on Acts 1 and John 14 by Pastor Ben Keurth.  We believe Jesus went to heaven after His resurrection. He rules and reigns over all things with the Father and the Holy Spirit. Are we there yet? As Christians, we certainly have a longing for heaven. We long for the complete removal of sin from our lives and the lives of those around us - its consequences and its nature. Perhaps because we l...

A message on Matthew 27-28  by Pastor Ben Keurth.  We believe Christ experienced death with us and for us. He descended into the grave but He defeated death and was resurrected. The creed reminds us that the war is over. Victory is complete. Let's remember to live in such victory, and carry ourselves with the triumph of Christ - his triumph over sin, death, hell, and Satan. If you would like...

A message on John 18-19 by Pastor Carlos Leyrer.  We believe Jesus died as the sacrificial substitute to pay the penalty for sin. He truly suffered and died on the cross for us and was buried in a tomb. The historical, spiritual, and biblical truths of the cross assault our intellect and reason. Through our confession of faith, we reject the intellectualism that has become the god of our age. If y...

A message on   Luke 1 by Pastor Ben Keurth. We believe Jesus was born of a virgin, Mary, and His birth came about through the workings of the Holy Spirit. We have the opportunity to look at a familiar narrative, but apart from all the trappings of modern, worldly Christmas. While those celebrations and embellishments of the season are enjoyable and serve a good purpose, as we look at the miracle o...

A message on Matthew 16:13-18  by Pastor Steve Mueller.  We believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, and He is both fully God and fully human. This confession of the person of Jesus Christ is so important because it wages war on hell itself. It is the assault against Satan, his temptations, the accusations he hurls at us, and the very prison to which he would enslave us. All because Jesus i...

A message on Matthew 6:9-13 by Pastor Steve Mueller.  We believe there is only one God, who has been and will always be. He exists in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and He created everything. This truth gives us incredible comfort and promises on which we can rely. It also calls us to worship and honor him alone as the God of all creation. God is both infinitely powerful and intensely...

A message on Romans 10:9-10  by Pastor Caleb Schmiege.  "I believe" may seem to carry a connotation of personal truth in a very relative world. Yet, when we say, "I believe" as Christians there is a far stronger, far deeper connotation. We profess our confidence of the truths of the Bible. We take our stand on these words from our lips, because of the conviction of our very hea...

A message on  2 Corinthians 8:1-15 by Pastor Ben Keurth. When you realize how Jesus has saved you, you can't help but want to serve. When God fills you up, you can't help but overflow. It's no wonder that Christians love to be encouraged to live like no one else. We truly believe it is more blessed to give than to receive. If you would like to learn more about us or join us live for...

A message on 2 Corinthians 7:2-16 by Pastor Ben Keurth. Do you love someone enough to hurt them? Sometimes the truth hurts, and yet the people we love need to hear that truth.
