Living Word Church

What big decisions are you working through right now? Join us for this one part message as Doug shares how God helps us face the unknowns in our lives. ALSO! We have some big news to share about what’s next for Living Word!

We all know what it's like to battle guilt and shame. What do we do when it feels like our mistakes are all we can think about? In this one part message, Pastor Pavone provides some great wisdom as He points us to the freedom God offers us.

An idol can be anything we love more than God. It might be money, possessions, ourselves or even another person. Could it be that we have an idolatry problem? What does the Bible say about trying to serve both God and idols? Check out this one part message from one of our interns, Joe Levanti, to see how the Bible addresses idolatry.

What does it look like to have a relationship with God in our ever changing culture? How do we live for God in a world where it’s more and more difficult to live for Him. How do we make a difference in a world that doesn’t want much to do with Him. Doug tackles these questions in, Vision Part 5.

Don't be offended by this statement - your story is too small to live for! We all try to push our own story don't we? We all want to make our mark, blaze our trail, do what feels good and live for ourselves! What if your story is too small to live for? In Part 4 of, Vision, Doug talks about what it looks like to play your part in God's much bigger story.

As we go through life we all get hurt. How will we respond? Will we wear our pain the rest of our lives? Will we let that pain turn into anger, unforgiveness and hate? In Part 3 of, Vision, Doug helps us understand why we should choose kindness, love and forgiveness. Seem impossible? Doug also talks about how to do it!

In Vision Part 2, Doug talks about how God designed you to live for something bigger than yourself.

Doug kicks off our new series talking about something we all struggle with and all need to grow in!

Sometimes all we can think about is where we want to be down the road. We figure that when we finally arrive at the destination - a relationship, a certain college, marriage, a better job, a certain dollar amount - we'll finally be happy. In this one part message, Anthony helps us realize that it's not about the destination, but something so much better!

In this one part message, Pastor Pavone talks about our amazing Savior, Jesus!

One of the awesome things about a relationship with Jesus is that there is always a next step to take to get closer to Him. Whether you're young, old, new to this, or have been a Christian for a long time, there is always a next step! In this one part message, Doug helps us understand what our next step might be and encourages us to take it!

We all know what it's like to wait. Some of us are waiting for some very specific things right now - a relationship, provision, direction, healing. What we sometimes forget is that all of humanity was waiting - waiting for Christmas! We pray this message will help you discover, or re-discover, what a big deal it is that Jesus came for us.

This time of the year is supposed to be full of wonder isn't it? Why does it seem like sadness, stress, busyness, and hardship so often win the day? In Part 1 of our Christmas series, Doug talks about why things like joy, surrender, praise and awe can win this Christmas season instead!

In Part 2 of, One Big Happy Family, Doug and Kelly continue the conversation about singleness, dating, marriage and parenting.

In Part 1 of, One Big Happy Family, Doug and Kelly answer questions about singleness, dating, marriage and parenting.

We all have different battles in our lives. In this one-part message, our worship pastor Andrew Muller talks about one of life's biggest battles.

Sometimes as we try to pursue Jesus it feels like we meet some resistance. Maybe the journey wears us down. Perhaps some disappointments weigh on us. Sometimes the barriers that seem to stand in our way make us feel like giving up. In this one part message, Doug points us to a powerful story in the Bible that motivates us to keep on going! Don't give up!

It’s easy to forget what a huge deal it is that we can talk with God whenever we want. When we’re sad we can ask Him for joy. When we’re tempted we can ask Him for strength. It wasn’t always like this!!!⠀ ⠀ When sin entered the world, mankind was separated from God’s presence. We no longer had the access we once had. In fact for centuries, the only person allowed in the presence of God was the high priest - and he could only be there once a year to make peace with God temporarily. ⠀ ⠀ In this one part message, Doug reminds us what a huge deal it is that we have access to God and helps us see how much it cost to make that possible.

Sometimes we can see a storm forming over the ocean of our life. It's out there in the distance, but we're fearing the worst. Other times the storm isn't far away at all, it's crashing down over the side of our boat. And then there are the times in life when we are straight up swamped. The stress that comes during these times is very real and very debilitating. At times like this we are tempted to believe that the only way to avoid stress is to avoid the storm. We think that the only way to find peace is to get past the storm. In Stressed Out Part 2, Doug talks about how to find peace during the storm.

Have you ever noticed that stress feeds on uncertainty? Every one of us has a good bit of uncertainty in our life - How do I fit in? Is this the person for me? What school should I go to? Am I doing what I should be with my life? Are my kids on the right track? Are my grandkids going to be ok? Will the finances be enough? Will my loved one get better? What do we do with all of our uncertainty? What do we do with our stress? In Part 1 of, Stressed Out, Doug points us too a practical strategy in Scripture that will help us find freedom from out stress.
