10/11/26 Sermon: Joshua Part 1: Be Strong and Courageous, Learning to Trust in God’s Classroom
Joshua Part 1: Be Strong and Courageous, Learning to Trust in God’s Classroom
Joshua 1:7-9
Hi Misty Creek family, This Sunday we begin a four-week series on the life of Joshua.
What kind of person does God use? It's not the most polished or the most self-assured. We'll start with a quick look at the famous poem Casey at the Bat then we’ll meet Joshua. His name Yehoshua or Joshua means "Yahweh is salvation." We'll follow him from the Red Sea to the battle at Rephidim in Exodus 17 to the golden calf in Exodus 32.
We'll see how each test in God’s classroom taught him that the Lord is dependable and faithful, especially when things look impossible. I'll also share my own story of the step of faith that led to Misty Creek. God didn't show me the outcome, but He provided every step of the way.
Your preparation for Sunday: Read Joshua 1:5-9, Exodus 14, Exodus 17, and Exodus 32. Your challenge for next week: Choose one uncertain situation in your life and pray over it every day. I'll give you a short prayer to use on Sunday. Bring a friend, and come ready to trust God with what's ahead.
Grace and peace,
Pastor doug

10/04/26 Sermon: "The Butterfly Effect"
"The Butterfly Effect"
Luke 10:30-31
Is life just a series of happenstances, have you wondered if there are coincidences? He will examine what Scripture has to say by looking at the story of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:30-31.

09/27/26 Sermon: "Fix Your Eyes on Jesus: He is Our True North"
Fix Your Eyes on Jesus: He is Our True North
Hebrews 12:1-3
Everything around us seems to be shifting — our feelings, our beliefs, our circumstances, our morals, even the culture we live in. In a world without a stable and true reference point, where do we turn for lasting direction? This Sunday, we’ll explore Hebrews 12:1-3 and the powerful truth that Jesus never changes (Hebrews 13:8). Like a compass pointing to true north, Jesus gives us a fixed point to navigate by — showing us who God truly is, correcting us when we drift off course, steadying us in uncertain times, and leading us to our ultimate destination: His presence.
Drawing on the picture of sailors navigating by the stars and a personal story from driving delivery trucks through 1980s Los Angeles with nothing but a paper map to guide him, Doug will challenge us to ask: What has really been functioning as our true north?
And to return, again and again, to fixing our eyes on Jesus alone.
Join us this Sunday as we discover that in a world of shifting sand, Jesus remains the same — yesterday, today, and forever.
I hope to see you Sunday!
