Doxology Church

Psalm 131:1–3 speaks powerfully to a world filled with constant noise and distraction, where silence often feels uncomfortable and even something to avoid. David shows us how inner peace is possible in the midst of chaos by embracing humility and recognizing our limits. He teaches us to place our hope outside ourselves in God, acknowledging both our dependence on Him and our lack of control over t...

In the Magnificat (Luke 1:46–55), Mary responds to God’s gracious gifts with a song that declares who He is and what He has done. After visiting Elizabeth, the full weight of God’s work settles on her, and she rejoices in a blessing she did nothing to earn—being chosen by God to bear Jesus—acknowledging that all generations will call her blessed. Her song also proclaims God’s justice, confidently...

In a tiny town called Nazareth, an angel appeared to a virgin betrothed to an heir of the House of David: the Messiah is about to arrive! Guest Pastor Danny Wegerbaur preaches on Luke 1:26-38, which tells the beginning of the Christmas Story. Mary is a main subject of this passage, and centerstage is her graceful, faithful obedience to God’s calling upon her life: “Behold, I am the Servant of the...

In this first sermon of Doxology’s Advent 2025 sermon series, Elder Kyle preaches about our common human longing for hope as expressed by Isaiah 9:1-7. This passage promises hope amidst suffering and darkness: “Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress.” Israel’s and the nations’ salvation comes by God’s fulfillment of our hope in the form of a child who is our Wonde...

Trapped under water, desperate, drowned by iniquity - this is how the Psalmist felt when he wrote Psalm 130. Guest Pastor Danny Wegerbauer preaches through Psalm 130, which is a cry from the depths but also a way back up out of the depths: pleas for mercy to God rather than self-help, forgiveness rather than forgetfulness, and fearful hope in God rather than despair. We wait on God’s assurance and...

In Ephesians 6:10–24, Paul concludes his letter by reminding believers of the reality of spiritual warfare. He explains that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against unseen spiritual forces, a truth we often overlook to our own harm when we fail to prepare or rely too much on ourselves. Because we are active participants in this battle, Paul urges us to put on the full armor of God—sp...

In the first five chapters of Ephesians, Paul has argued that union with Christ is the foundation of loving one another. Visiting Pastor Vince Hinders preaches on the next step of Paul’s argument in Ephesians 5:22-33 and 6:1-9: that Christ is LORD of every relationship. These verses take the theory of Christian love and apply it practically to the contemporary household codes that governed Greco-R...

In Ephesians 5:1–21, Paul describes what a life transformed by Christ looks like. He calls believers to imitate God by modeling their love after Christ, whose selfless sacrifice on the cross gave us new life. Our obedience to God should flow not from fear or shame, but from gratitude for His love that reached us even while we were sinners. Paul shows that we love well by first being content with G...

Nate Wagner (10.19.25) | Ephesians: Brought Together in Christ | Ephesians 4:17-32

Kyle Green (10.12.25) | Ephesians 4:1-16 | Ephesians: Brought Together In Christ

In this sermon, we see how the Apostle Paul’s central message of his letter to the Ephesians is for them to know and participate in The Mystery of Christ, which is, gentiles now being brought into The Family of God through The Gospel. We also see how the church must response in both the purpose and the practice of living out this mystery through a pursuit of humility, believing in Jesus’ Church, a...

Minor differences can turn into irrational - and horrifying - conflict, even within the same family. But brought together in Christ, the church offers the world a different example of unity across difference. Elder Kyle Green preaches through Ephesians 2:11-22 to demonstrate that example: that Jesus has brought down the dividing wall of hostility and built us into a holy household. In response, we...

In this sermon, we see how the amazing grace of Jesus brings us from being spiritually to dead to alive for the purpose of new life with Jesus and good works to all in this world. Vince Hinders | Ephesians 2:1-10 | Ephesians: Brought Together In Christ

In this commencement sermon of a new Doxology series on Ephesians, “Brought Together in Christ,” John Campbell teaches through the structure and purpose of the letter through Ephesians 1:1-14. Ephesians is written in two parts: the story of the Gospel in Chapters 1-3 and the story of God’s people in Chapters 4-6, and this first chapter sets the focus on the meaning of blessing. Paul’s ultimate mes...

Psalm 122, one of the Songs of Ascent, was written by David to celebrate the joy of God’s people arriving in Jerusalem, God’s holy city. Just as Israel sang on their journey to worship, this psalm reminds us that when life wears us down and worship feels routine, God calls us to rejoice in gathering with His people. It points us to the blessing of unity in the family of God and urges us to pray fo...

Have you ever asked the question: how much longer can I go on? God’s people will experience helplessness, and we cannot find its resolution by human means. That is where the Psalmist finds himself in Psalm 121. Visiting Pastor Kristo Voda of Redeeming Grace preaches on Psalm 121, which gives an emphatic answer to our individual and corporate helplessness: the Lord will help and keep us now and for...

In John 15:1-5, 12-13, Jesus calls us to abide—remain deeply attached—to Him, warning against false attachments that give the appearance of closeness to Him without true attachment. A secure attachment to Christ is not about mere religious activity or cultural identity but about an intimate, life-giving relationship with Him. False attachments, such as cultural Christianity, social causes, or infl...

At the heart of the church’s priorities is this core tenet: Jesus is the point. But we can host Jesus and make Him the point of our worship without understanding that a part of the whole point is beholding Jesus in relationship. To demonstrate the power of both hosting and beholding Jesus, Steve preaches through the verses of Luke 10:38-42 wherein Jesus encourages Martha to sit at his feet – like...

In John 11:17–44, we see that God cares deeply about our emotions and meets us in them, as shown through Martha, Mary, and Jesus at Lazarus’ death. Martha, frustrated that Jesus had not been there, openly expressed her disappointment, reminding us that our proximity to God is not determined by constant positivity, but by honest faith. Even in frustration over life’s injustices, God invites us to b...

Our tendency is to judge a church by how much we like its aesthetics, its worship style, or its community vibe. But by focusing on the self-referential elements of a church we miss the point: the point is Jesus, and the church community is the only place where your inclusion is not built on human eference but entirely built on reference to Christ. In this third sermon of Doxology’s mini-series Jes...

When we go to church, we often mistake the preacher, songs, or community as the main focus, missing the true point: Jesus. Corporate worship corrects our tendency to diminish Him, bringing us face to face with His full power and love. This understanding should change how we approach worship: arrive on time to honor its significance, focus on Jesus rather than the “vibe”, come ready both to receive...

What is the primary point of the church? Hopefully, we make it Jesus. In this first sermon of Doxology’s new series “Jesus is the Point,” Steve teaches through John 12:20-26 where a group of Greeks request to see Jesus. These Greeks have caught a glimpse of the truth that Jesus alone is worthy of our highest love, that He alone gives grace, and that He alone sees us fully. May we, like the Greeks...

In Revelation 19, John writes to encourage the church during a time of hardship, painting a vivid picture of Jesus’ victorious return. The chapter begins with the image of a marriage supper, but in verses 11–16, the scene shifts as the groom—Jesus—arrives not in wedding garments, but as a warrior king riding a white horse. He is called Faithful and True, the embodiment of God’s unwavering faithful...

“Guest Pastor Vince Hinders 2 preaches about hope in the passage of Corinthians 3:12-18, which instructs that the hope of the Gospel ought to make the believer bold. It also makes the believer able to see, curing us of our spiritual blindness. We must therefore constantly behold that hope because beholding is becoming, and we must become like Christ.” Vince Hinders (7.6.25) | Doxology Church | 2 C...

Daniel chapter 12 brings the book to a hopeful conclusion, reminding us that we are hope-based creatures. It encourages us to remain faithful, even when life is hard or when our beliefs seem strange to others. Our hope is in the promise of a new heaven and new earth—where we will experience renewed relationships, restored bodies, and the presence of God himself. The final question it leaves us wit...
