Pastor Doug kicks off our series on the characteristics of God. In Genesis 1 and 2, The Bible presents God as both great and good.

Kicking off the semester, Pastor Doug helps us lock in on our mission to reach the 200k college students living in the greater Orlando metro area, who are part of UCF, Valencia, and Disney.

Pastor Doug asks, "Does it seem fair that you have to give money in order to be a member of a church community?" Malachi answers, "Giving is a critical component of being part of a community. We must learn to value those whom we value." Give then live.

Pastor Doug takes us into Malachi 2:17-3:5 to help us see what Malachi recommends as a response to the problem of evil and injustice.

Our Valencia Campus Director, Alec Brockell, helps us to see how opting out of ministry leads to the people opting out of God. Selfish ministry, it would seem, produces suffering people.

Pastor Doug begins our study of the book of Malachi. In the first five verses, he helps us to understand a complicated Hebrew Idiom, God's sovereignty over fairness, and the reality that fairness is a uniquely Christian concept.

Our Valencia Campus Director, Alec Brockell, helps us understand Jesus's message in Luke 12 about the best thing we can invest in.

Our College Pastor, Doug Hankins, uses Star Wars as a way to unpack cultural apologetics. In the end we see that Star Wars actually preaches the Gospel.

Doug starts a conversation in our fellowship about the importance of leadership and what we look for in leaders in our ministry.

In this message, Doug Helps us understand that God does not look at us as our guilt and shame. Instead, when God looks at Christians, He sees Jesus' blood and righteousness.

In this message, Doug talks about Joy and why it is a better alternative to our flaky pursuit of the emotion of happiness.

Is being afraid something that is permitted by Scripture? Pastor Doug weighs in and offers a gospel-centered approach to fear and fearfulness in The Bible.

Are there only a few emotions that The Bible recommends? Or does the Bible give Christians permission to experience a wide-range of emotions? Is it even okay to be angry? Pastor Doug weighs in and offers a gospel-centered approach to emotions that radically shakes up the popular views from cultural Christianity.

In week 4, Doug talks about Paul's vision for marriage in Ephesians 4.

The most normative vision for discipleship, according to Scripture, is the single life. Jesus was single. Paul was single. They wrote the majority of the New Testament. Pastor Doug offers a challenge to embrace singleness as the content way of discipleship.
