📖  Main Text: Matthew 2 Matthew’s account of the wise men introduces one of the most intriguing elements of the Christmas story—the star that led them to Christ. In this message, Pastor Doug explores why God used a star to draw men from the East, how it guided them so precisely, and what this narrative teaches us about God’s sovereign purpose and His call to worship Jesus. As we reflect on this t...

📖  Main Text: Luke 2 Luke’s account of the birth of Jesus records the most significant event in human history.

📖  Main Text: 1 Timothy 6:17–21 As Paul concludes his letter to Timothy, he offers a vital warning and a needed encouragement to believers who possess earthly wealth.

📖 Main Text: 1 Timothy 6:11–16 As Paul nears the end of his letter to Timothy, he gives a powerful charge to live as a  man of God —a title once used for men like Moses, David, Elijah, and Elisha.

📖  Main Text:  1 Timothy 6:3–10 Pastor Doug Is preaching from  1 Timothy 6:3–10 , where Paul warns against the dangers of greed and the pursuit of wealth. The love of money has led many away from the truth, but godliness with contentment is of far greater value.

This Sunday, Pastor Doug will be preaching from the beginning of 1 Timothy 6, where Paul teaches how believers are to live out their faith in the workplace.

We’ll see how our attitudes and actions at work can become a powerful testimony...
