Happy New Year DOXA Family! As we look back on all that God accomplished this past year in and through our church family, I hope your hearts are encouraged by God's faithfulness to us. And now as we turn our attention to the horizon of 2026, it is essential that we embark on the year with prayer. Over the next four weeks, we are going to press more into the power of collectively praying as a churc...

In our Wrapped series, we’ve been seeing what God has graciously wrapped us in through the birth of Jesus. Maybe you’ve experienced a life filled with love—or maybe you’ve felt the absence of it. This Sunday, in Wrapped in love from Romans 8:31–39, we’ll see that God has wrapped us in a love that is unshakable and proven through His Son. A love that does not spare what is most costly, and a love t...

This Sunday we are going to take a look at the famous scene of the angel announcing good news of great joy to shepherds watching their sheep in the night. But the question I want to raise is, "Can this good news really bring great joy in every season of life?" What about the painful seasons of sorrow, loss, or even rejection? 

This week we are starting our Christmas series at DOXA called, "Wrapped". As we begin our series we are going to discuss how the Christmas story encourages us to embrace and experience God's perfect peace as we navigate life's disappointments and uncertainties. 

As we come out of Thanksgiving and head into the Christmas season, it is easy for our hearts to get crowded with so many other things: busyness, expectations, and distractions. But this season is not just a time for food and family. It is a time for our hearts to be reminded again of who God is, what He has done, and who we are because of Him. Psalm 100 calls us to remember the Lord and to respond...

Coming out of last week's passage in our study through Hebrews, if you are concerned about the security of your salvation, let me encourage you - this week's passage will provide an anchor for your soul. Join us as our hearts grow ever warmer as we revel in the gospel that secures our eternal destiny.

"Are you sure you know what you are doing?" I feel like I get asked this question a lot when I'm trying to do some sort of project around the house. To be fair, I've given my family plenty of reasons to cast doubt on my abilities to fix things. But what about you? I'm not talking about your ability to fix things, but rather your confidence in whether or not you are sure of your salvation. The good...

"Grow up!" I hear my kids tell each other that often. Usually when one of them is irritating the other. This week, as we jump back into Hebrews together, this is essentially what God is going to challenge us with. He is going to help us see if we are actually maturing in our spiritual lives or if we have stopped but haven't yet realized it. 

When we have to make difficult decisions we are often encouraged to jot down a list of "Pro's and Con's". This helps us compare the options side by side so we can make the best decision possible. This week, God provides us with a list of His own list where He reveals why Jesus is the better, greater, and perfect High Priest that we all desperately need.

Do you know that feeling you get when you've been planning a great vacation and there are only a few more days before you go? Your heart begins to fill with excitement at the thought of what it will be like. The rest, the comfort, the joy, the peace. In much the same way, the author of Hebrews wants us to anticipate and experience three incredible benefits Jesus makes possible for us because he is...

Sacred Rest (Part 2) - Join us this week as we discover how to actually live in and with the Sacred Rest God has promised for His beloved. 

What is your top vacation destination? Some might say the beaches of Florida. Others might say the mountains of Tennessee or Colorado. Regardless, we all desire vacations simply because of the rest and relaxation they offer us. It's interesting to note that inside of every human heart there is a deep seated longing for rest. This Sunday the author is going to show us that the rest we long to enjoy...

"Can you hear me now?" - In the mid 2000, Verizon Wireless built an entire advertisement campaign around this simple question. The implication was that Verizon ensures that your phone calls would not be dropped on their service unlike their competitors. As we continue in our series, God is essentially asking us this same simple question, "Can you hear me now?"  - However, the implications are far...

This week we are going to look at the last two pictures of Jesus in chapter two that reveal why His incarnation is so significant. Get ready!

A few weeks ago, my wife's parents came to Indy for a quick visit. To my surprise they brought with them a photo album of Bekah when she was a little girl, beginning on the day she was born. As I flipped through the pages, my father-in-law was very careful to not leave out any of the details around each of the events that were pictured. In much the same way, as the author of Hebrews continues to f...

BETTER: A Study in the Book of Hebrews Hebrews 2:1-4 Big Idea: We either pay closer attention to Jesus or we drift away from Him.

Growing up my parents would tell me that I was far too easily impressed as a kid. I would be mesmerized by skate tricks, sports cards, and the TGIF lineup on ABC. The truth is I still find myself far too easily distracted by lesser things today. As we continue on in our study through Hebrews, the author is going to help us recognize how far superior and impressive Jesus is to everything and everyo...

Do you recognize this phrase, "Anything you can do, I can do better."? It's the famous song from the Broadway musical, Annie Get Your Gun. (Some of you will have the tune in your head now for the rest of the day - sorry about that.) As we begin this week in Hebrews, we are going to worshipfully reflect on the reality that Jesus truly is and will always be "Better". Join us as we embark on this adv...

This week we are embarking on a new series through the book of Hebrews. Although Hebrews is a book in our Bibles, many bible scholars believe this was actually a sermon that was preached to the church gathered in Rome during the first century. The author of this sermon is unknown, however his message is most certainly made clear - namely, Jesus is Better. 

Birthmarks - some people have them some people don’t. But every single Christ follower bears five “spiritual birthmarks”. This Sunday as we wrap up our summer series through 1 John we are going to learn more about the beauty and power of our family resemblance. 

What does your “to do” list look like? How many times do we need to be reminded to do something? With all of the everyday distractions that come our way, we can sometimes lose sight of what is really important. As we look at the 4th chapter of 1 John this Sunday, we will see some practical reminders as we seek to stay focused in our Christian walk.
