Doxa Bible Church : Messages

"May I have your blessing?" I can remember asking my wife's father this question when I was first interested in dating his daughter. Bekah and I took a trip to spend time with her family where I had the opportunity to meet her dad for the first time. We were not even at her parents house for 15 minutes when her dad took me to his basement to show me his gun collection. Talk about intimidating. But...

As we end our series in Galatians, Pastor Mitch Green reads through the rest of chapter 6 in studying how apart from God, we can't do anything. Instead of bending to our own will and glory, let's break down how a faith filled family gives God the glory.

When we are walking in the Spirit, we will be led to serve lovingly and sacrificially. This week, Pastor Tony Carter will break down what exactly we are called to be.

Over the past few weeks we have been learning about Spiritual Freedom. What is it? And where does it come from? Now this week Paul is going to show us once and for all how you and I can live every single day of our lives in true spiritual freedom.

**Due to our consistency of the series, we decided to post the audio, but apologize for the audio quality that is due to technical difficulties** A few years ago I had the opportunity to visit a car museum with a friend of mine. I was particularly impressed by a Lamborghini that was on display. I leaned over to my friend and said, "I bet this is the fastest car in here." To which he quickly replie...

As we jump back in to the Galatians series, we read about a comparison of our spiritual lives to the story of Hagar and Sarah, and the difference between attempting merit with God by the flesh vs relying on the Lord and His promises.

As the new year starts, we wonder to ourselves, what's next? Either way, we need to focus on the truth that God’s glory leads God’s people to God’s Mission. To grow that mindset, and kick off the new year, we study through a bit of Isaiah to understand this deeper.

As Christmas Eve is here, we study and finish our series "Behold The Son" by recognizing that Jesus is truly the Savior of the World.

As we behold the Son this Christmas season, we discover that He is a lot like a diamond that sparkles under the light, refracting different aspects of His glory and beauty. As we continue to Behold the Son this week we will discover that He is also the promised Son of David - The Eternal King.

We show up every day at work with the promise that every two weeks, we will get a direct deposit for the agreed-upon amount. Have you ever missed a paycheck? Or have you had one shorted? What a sinking feeling. Am I going to get that money? Was it a mistake? Was I deceived? Should I start looking for a new job? Do I bring it up? What should I do? Each day we live in the tension of promises made an...

It's that time of the year where we pull out our Christmas decorations and string the lights. Of course, no Christmas decor is complete without a porcelain nativity scene, right? The wisemen need to be glued back together again for the third year in a row. We carefully set in place baby Jesus, while the stable animals and shepherds are huddled around Mary and Joseph as they all behold the new born...

When Peter asked Jesus to have him come out of the boat and onto the water, he walked until he lost sight of Jesus. Similarly as believers, we need to continually focus on Christ instead of ourselves.

If you look for them, you can find gaps in just about every area of life. We find gaps in our finances. "Where did the money go?" Gaps in science. "What causes the Morning Glory Clouds in Australia?" We have gap insurance, Gap stores, Gap theories. But did you realize that the largest gap for many people is actually only 18 inches? 18 inches is the distance between your head and your heart. And fo...

Inside of every human heart is an innate desire for belonging. We "long to belong" to something bigger than ourselves. We even identify ourselves by what we belong to. We belong to sports teams, political parties, fitness centers, grocery stores (Costco, anyone?) But the Bible explains that because of our faith in Christ, we belong to the family of God. God's family is a bigger family. It's a stro...

Have you ever wrestled with knowing for sure if you are truly saved? Is there a way to have complete assurance to know that I am really right with God? The answer is YES! And it's all based on the reality that God is a promise keeping God. Paul is going to show us that our assurance can rest entirely upon a promise that God made to broken humanity.

The leaves are changing. The wind is blowing. The temperature is beginning to drop. When this happens you instinctively know that _____________ is coming. What would you put in the blank? "Winter", "Snow", "Time Change". What if when we began to notice these changes the first thing we thought of was THANKSGIVING. And what if we didn't just do this with a holiday but we also did this in life. This...

This week we had Trent Griffith come to bring out wisdom from the life of a Eunuch, and his interactions with Philip in the book of Acts. What's brought out is that personal evangelism produces personal conversion through personal conversations.

We, as Christ followers, are called to pray sincerely and authentically. This week, Pastor Tony Carter breaks down Matthew 6:5-8 on Jesus' points of hypocritical prayer, and how to avoid it.

Counterfeits are everywhere. Unfortunately, if you are making any sort of significant purchase, you have to be on guard against deception. Depending on the purchase, if the deal is too good to be true, well... it often is. But when it comes to spiritual matters, is this same principle true? Is this righteousness by faith too good to be true? How do we know if we really are made right with God?

Last week, as we dove into God's Word, we began to see that living with faith in the Son of God helps us overcome spiritual disappointment. This week as we finish part two of this message, we will discover what these spiritually disappointing moments actually become when we choose to live with faith in Jesus.

Have you ever felt spiritually disappointed before? Maybe you imagined or expected God to do something specific in your life, but what actually happened was quite different. It is normal for us to struggle with feelings of disappointment when this sort of thing happens. However, as we continue in our study through Galatians, Paul first of all reminds us that God is NOT the God of disappointment an...

In this week's passage, we learn why some people seem to flourish and accelerate in their Christian life more than others. In writing to the Galatians, Paul shared that the difference maker is rooted in a worshipful reflection of two powerful gospel promises.

This week, on Doxa's 2 year anniversary, we take a break from our Galatians series. Pastor Brock Graham from Redeemer Bible Church brings out the characteristics Jesus commends at the church of Pergamum, and how we should practice those same qualities.

Who doesn't want unity in their family, right? We all know that where there is unity there is usually flourishment and a sense of fulfilment. Galatians chapter 2 shows us how to experience unity as a church in such a way that changes our families, our neighborhoods, and our city. This week we tackle part two of the sermon "Threats To Gospel Unity". I pray the LORD graciously continues to blossom u...

"Where were you when...?" There are certain events that occur in our lives that make such an impression on us that we can remember exactly where we were when they happened. For instance, Where were you when you first heard about 9/11? Or where were you during the infamous OJ Simpson chase? Better yet, do you remember where you were when Florida State University won their last National Championship...
