Doxa Church: Sermons

The enemy seeks to blur the genders that he might blind us to the gospel.  But God created them male and female that we might spread his glory throughout creation and proclaim the beauty of the gospel.

Ephesians 2 shows how God takes us from spiritual death to life in Christ, not by our works but by His grace. Through Jesus, enemies become family and strangers become His dwelling place. This is the miracle of the good news of Jesus Christ that changes everything.

In Psalm 119:121–128, the blessed saint models a soul that longs—not merely for relief, but for God’s righteous action, merciful instruction, and enduring truth. He cries out from a place of integrity, pleads to be taught even in affliction, and resolves to love God’s Word in a world that rejects it. This is what it looks like to wait faithfully: longing for God while being shaped by His Word.

This sermon from 2 Kings 2:23–25 teaches that God cares deeply about how we live and speak—especially toward His people and His work. Through the story of Elisha, the mocking boys, and the bears, we learn that God sees everything, defends what He loves, and teaches us to treat Him with reverence. It’s a call for children and adults alike to honor God with their words and actions.

In a world filled with compromise, deception, and rebellion, the soul of the blessed saint stands firm—not by strength of will, but by the support of God and His Word. Psalm 119:113–120 reveals that such a soul seeks shelter in God’s truth, separates from evil influences, and stands in awe of God’s holiness. This holy fear is not terror, but reverent worship—the mark of a soul upheld by grace and...

In Psalm 119:105–112 , we behold the example of a soul determined—not by willpower or self-made strength, but by faith in the flickering, yet faithful lamp of God’s Word. The blessed saint walks with resolve, awareness, and glad surrender—swearing allegiance to obey, watching carefully for spiritual snares, and bending his heart joyfully toward God’s will. This is the life of one determined to wal...

Psalm 119:97–104 shows us a soul rescued by immersion in God’s Word. In a world of noise and chaos, the blessed saint becomes affectionate, wise, obedient, satisfied, and discerning. From “Oh how I love your law” to “I hate every false way,” this is the portrait of a life steady and sweetened by truth—a soul formed by meditation, not distraction.

This sermon from Psalm 119:89–96 calls believers to lean upon the Word of God as their steady refuge in a world of affliction, uncertainty, and danger. The blessed saint is shown to stand firm because God’s Word provides stability, preserves the soul, fills it with joy, gives life and identity, directs amid danger, and outlasts everything else. In every season, the soul that leans upon the eternal...

“Draw & Release” calls both children and parents to embrace their God-given roles in building a lasting spiritual legacy. From Ephesians 6:1–4, Paul exhorts children to obey and honor their parents, and he charges fathers—especially—to restrain harshness and actively raise their children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Faithfulness in these everyday roles is the means by which G...

This sermon, “Igniting the Arrow’s Tip,” reminds us that we are arrows in the hands of the Divine Archer—and some of us have been entrusted with arrows of our own. From Paul’s charge to Timothy in 2 Timothy 3:14–15, we are called to stay the course, remember the source, and aim for the target—not merely shaping the soul of a child, but igniting it with the flame of faith through the sacred writing...

This sermon continued our Arrows & Quivers campaign by calling parents to the formative work of shaping their children’s souls through the steady means of God’s Word. From Deuteronomy 6:4–9, we saw that the warrior-parent is called to carve the shaft by teaching their children to confess truth, love God with whole-hearted affection, and live under the rhythms of faithful, everyday obedience—so...

A Fit & Formed Warrior explores the essential formation of a parent’s soul before they can faithfully shape the lives of their children. From 1 Thessalonians 2:7–12, the apostle Paul exemplifies the kind of character every warrior-parent must pursue: a heart that is tender, hands that are steady, and feet that are directed by the call of God. Biblical parenting begins not with strategies, but...

“Arrows in the Quiver,” drawn from Psalm 127:3–5, reminds us that children are not interruptions to our lives, but gifts placed by the gracious hand of God into the quiver of the warrior-parent. We are called not merely to hold these arrows, but to shape, steward, and ultimately send them into the world to stand firm for the truth and fill the earth with the glory of God. Biblical parenting is a s...

On this Resurrection Sunday, Romans 4:24–25 reveals the heart of the gospel in just two verses: Jesus was given for our guilt, raised for our justification, and is received by faith alone. This Easter message calls us to lay down our self-righteous striving and rest in the finished work of Christ. In raising Jesus from the dead, God declared the payment for sin complete—and now, by faith, sinners...

In Psalm 119:81–88, we peer into the soul of the blessed saint and find a paradox—hands open in the dark. Though fainting, he still hopes; though afflicted, he still clings; though pleading, he still lives. This is not contradiction, but the real and rugged shape of faith for every saint who walks with God through the valley.

In Psalm 119:73–80, the blessed saint acknowledges that his life is formed by the sovereign hand of God—refined through affliction, supplied as an encouragement to others, and shaped for greater sincerity of heart. Like clay in the potter’s hand, the saint is not formed aimlessly, but with holy intention—so that his life might bear witness to the steadfast love of the Lord and bring glory to His N...

In this special Family Worship Gathering, children were invited to lean in and listen closely to the sweet and precious truth of Proverbs 8:17: “I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me.” Through the image of a hidden treasure, they were encouraged to love and seek the Lord Jesus early, with the promise that He will be found by those who truly seek Him.

In The Blessed Saint’s Tutor from Psalm 119:65–72, Jon Wood unpacks how God uses affliction as a gracious means of instruction, cultivating greater devotion to His Word and deeper affection for Him. The sermon shows that for the blessed saint, suffering is not a setback but a sanctifying teacher.

Psalm 119:57-64 reveals an unwavering zeal in the life of the blessed saint—a zeal to obey God and a steadfast commitment to His glory. Just as John Bunyan remained unshaken in his devotion while imprisoned for Christ, the blessed saint in this passage lives bound and determined to honor Yahweh. This zeal is not self-generated but fueled by the all-sufficient covenant love of God, which sustains H...

In Psalm 119:49-56, the blessed saint remains faithful in affliction by holding fast to God’s promises—remembering, praying, and singing His Word. As sojourners in a dark and hostile world, we too must cling to His promises, for they are our foundation of hope, our comfort in suffering, and our song in the night.

Where does true confidence come from? In this sermon on Psalm 119:41-48, we explore how the Blessed Saint finds his confidence—not in himself, but according to the God's Word of Promise. Anchored in Yahweh’s steadfast love and faithfulness, his assurance empowers him to stand firm in opposition, walk in courageous obedience, and delight in God’s commands.

The prayer life of the blessed saint is a window into the soul, revealing a heart that longs for obedience and fullness in God. In Psalm 119:33-40, the Psalmist pleads not for ease, but for transformation—praying for a heart inclined to walk in God’s ways and a life shaped by His Word.

Sorrow is a reality for every saint, but where does the blessed saint reach out in faith and cling to hope? Psalm 119:25-32 shows us that steadfastness in sorrow is not found in self-sufficiency but in the sustaining power of the Word of God’s grace. From the Psalmist to Spurgeon, we see that when sorrow lays us low, the Word of God’s grace lifts us up—our source of understanding, strength, and st...

In this episode, we continue exploring The Journey of the Blessed Saint, focusing on how The Word in the Heart naturally culminates in The Word on the Lips, as seen in Psalm 119:13-16. We’ll discuss how the Word flows from a heart saturated with Scripture, stirs joy in its riches, rises from meditating on its truth, and inspires devotion to living by it. As the Word overflows with divine purpose,...

This is part I of II of “The Journey of the Blessed Saint,” where we take up Psalm 119:9-12 and see how the Word of God, hidden in the heart, serves as the rule and instrument for purity, the desire and guide for the way, and the source and restraint of power in the life of the believer. We’ll reflect on the grace of God’s Word, which not only shapes our journey but strengthens us to walk in purit...
