Living Word Church

In this one part message, Pastor Pavone reminds that God is the absolute greatest - and there isn't even a competition!

In a media saturated world, Andrew talks about how entertainment and media can influence how we treat one another. In a society that emphasizes "self," we can easily lose sight of a culture of honor. Why is honor important and how does it affect our every day lives? Find out in this one part series, Honor Thy.

As we've been focusing on God moving in power this year, some of us may have this objection - "but I'm not really a move in power kind of person." Maybe you feel you're too busy for that. Or perhaps you see yourself as too average for God to do anything special with. In the last part of this series, Doug talks about a key that will help us see God move in power in our lives no matter how busy or average we might think we are.

Have you ever wondered if God is even interested in responding to us when we pray? Does He care? Does He still answer prayer or is that something He only did thousands of years ago? Is your need too small to bring to him? Is he mad at you and therefore won't respond to your request? In Part two of, 2018, Doug answers these questions and challenges us to ask God to move in power this year.

In Part 1 of 2018, Doug casts vision for our lives, our church and our community for the coming year.

We often think about Christmas through a specific lens. In this one part message, Doug helps us see Christmas from a different point of view.

If there's one thing we all learn at one point or another it's this - life is really hard sometimes. In these times it becomes very easy to focus on the things God hasn't done for us. We feel like He should have healed, protected or spoken - but He didn't. In this one part message, Doug helps us find a new perspective in an ancient Psalm, that just might help us navigate the difficult times.

On kickoff day in our new location, Doug talks about the most important thing we could focus on to reach our potential!

On our last day in our building in Nesconset, we celebrated all that God had done in almost 4 decades in that space.

Have you ever experienced God for yourself? There's nothing like it! It changes everything! In this one part message, Doug encourages us to push aside the barriers that stand in the way and challenges us to seek God for an up to date experience with Him.

In this one part message, Andrew challenges us to accept God's call to leave a legacy.

Check out this one part message by Pastor Pavone from our morning services on 11/12/17. He talked about the power of uncompromising courage.

Although following Jesus is by far the most amazing way to live life, sometimes it's a battle. It can be a battle to fight through doubt at times. At other times we have to battle our way through feelings of condemnation that God would never want us to give into. Some of us feel like we have no strength to keep battling things like doubt or condemnation. Others of us don't know how to battle! In the last part of, The Truth Is, Doug talks about the weapons God has given us to battle well.

Every single person who has oxygen running through their lungs struggles. We all do what we know we shouldn't do. Sometimes we feel like those wrong things flow right out of us. Some of us feel like sin owns us. At times we might feel like we don't know how to stop doing the wrong things. Sometimes we don't even WANT to stop doing the wrong things. In Part 7 of, The Truth Is, Doug talks about how it is not only right and possible to live a holy life, it's also best! We will never be perfect, but with God's help and the principles we'll look at in this message, we can live holy lives. Find out why we should and how it's possible in Part 7 of our series.

Before God asks us to do anything at all, He wants us to be rooted in His love. He wants us to know who He is and who we are because of who He is. Once all of that is in place, God asks us to lovingly respond to Him by honoring Him with our lives. In the Truth Is Part 6, Doug talks about one of the ways we do this. ALso! He gives an update on our building situation and talks about what's next!

Have you ever felt like all of your strength was taken from you? Do you sometimes wish your connection with God was deeper? Does it sound good to be more rooted in God's love for you? Do you long for that love to flow out of you to someone who is really difficult to love? If the answer to any of those questions is, "yes," than this message is for you! In part 5 of The Truth Is, Doug tackles these common struggles with answers from Scripture.

We all have two big problems. First, our souls are lost apart from God. Second, our nation is tearing itself apart. You may wonder what these two things have to do with each other. In The Truth Is Part 4, Doug talks about the answer that weaves tese two big problems together and challenges us to respond to the solution!

When things go wrong in our lives it can feel like God isn't doing His job. Isn't He supposed to protect us from the bad things and gives us the good things? After-all, we don't deserve for the bad things to happen to us, right? In Part 3 of, The Truth iIs, Doug reminds us who we were apart from God, what we deserved from Him and what He gave us instead of what we deserved.

Most of us would say that we would love to get to know God better. There are lots of things that try to get in the way of that happening though aren't there? Busy schedules can make this tricky. Difficult circumstances seem to try to drive a wedge between us and God. Some of us may not know exactly how to get know God better. In Part 2 of The Truth Is, Doug helps us get excited about knowing God better and helps us understand how to do it!

When we really want to express how we feel about something we pull out the phrase..."The Truth Is." When Paul wrote the book of Ephesians it's like he had this phrase in mind. He tells us all of these amazing truths about God and how these truths should impact our lives. In Week 1, Doug talks about all of the priceless truths that Paul brings up about our salvation. These are things we often forget, take for granted or just haven't realized are a ginormous deal! When we really grasp these truths and get excited about our salvation, everything changes!
