Walking with Jesus with Pastor Doug Anderson Podcast

26.09.24 “The Perfect Love of Jesus” (1 Cor. 13:4-7)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Wed, 23 Sep 2026 21:22:20 +0000

I doubt any of us get out of bed in the morning and say, “I think I’ll pick a fight with someone today.” And yet every day, almost everyone, everywhere in the world, finds themself disappointed with something or maybe even enticed into an argument, which could grow into a conflict.

A shocking statistic I found is that approximately 2300 divorces are finalized PER DAY in America, about 875,000 divorces per year! I wonder what conflict is awaiting you today and how you will handle it?

26.09.23 “Jesus style LOVE” (1 Cor. 13:4-7)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Tue, 22 Sep 2026 19:34:06 +0000

How important is the word LOVE, in all its significance, in your life? Can you even imagine if LOVE was drained OUT of every relationship you have? What if LOVE was removed from every conversation; eliminated from everything you read or hear? What would a LOVEless world be like? Oh my!

We’re in Paul’s first letter to the Christians in Corinth, chapter 13. Yesterday we looked at the first sentence, so let’s pick it up there today. “If I have the gift of prophecy and I can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have great faith that can move mountains, but I do not have LOVE, I am NOTHING!” (1 Cor. 13:2) What? Doesn’t the book of Proverbs elevate WISDOM above all else? Well, yes, King Solomon does elevate wisdom to a place of supremacy and Solomon declares God style wisdom begins with “the fear of the LORD.” (Proverbs 9:10)

26.09.22 “God’s Outrageous Love?” (1 Corinthians 13:1)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 20:40:41 +0000

What is the ONE, most significant word, in every language in the world? I think it’s LOVE! And if you are a Christian, would you agree that “LOVE” is the centerpiece word of the Christian faith? Have you ever tried to paraphrase the most famous verse in the Bible, John 3:16, as you understand it?

Here’s my attempt today: “Because Almighty, Creator, Holy God LOVED the human race so extravagantly, He sent His only Son Jesus Christ to live among us and teach us God’s truth. And because Holy God was unwilling to see all humanity perish for all eternity, because of our sinful rebellion against Him, including our rejection of His truth, God sent His Son Jesus to the CROSS, to pay our sin debt price by becoming our atoning sacrifice with His death. So that whoever would recognize God’s extravagant LOVE and repent of their sin, trusting Jesus’ death to be sufficient payment for their sin, would be delivered from their sin condemnation and drawn into an eternal life, love relationship with God!“ Wow! May I urge you to take a moment, with pencil in hand and write your own version of John 3:16 as you understand the outrageous LOVE of God?

26.09.21 “God’s Team” (1 Cor. 12:27-30)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Sun, 20 Sep 2026 20:16:12 +0000

Weekends, in most parts of the world include sporting events and especially in America the fall season of each year is sports on overload, would you agree? Several different College sports are in full swing while professional baseball is about to enter the World Series and the NFL football season is beginning. Most sports are team sports requiring teamwork and often it’s not the team with the super hero, it’s the team which works together really well which wins, right?

We’re with the apostle Paul these days as he’s writing his first letter to encourage and challenge the Christians in the big city of Corinth, Greece in the mid first century. As we’ve seen in the past few days, Paul in 1 Corinthians 12, Paul was describing the miraculous work of the Holy Spirit, distributing to each and all Christians ‘spiritual gifts’, which enable Christians, anywhere in the world, to accomplish God’s purposes where they live in every generation!

26.09.19 “A Diverse Global Church” (1 Cor. 12:12-17)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 21:04:07 +0000

Think back over your life journey. WHERE is the most ethnically diverse place you have ever lived? How many different languages were spoken in that place? Did you enjoy that or was it irritating to you?

You and I live in a big world filled with an amazing diversity of humanity, and while it can be frustrating, it can also be a wonderful adventure, as our differences provide us great opportunity to learn from each other and find remarkable synergy as we join together in common purpose, do you agree? No where is that more true than in the global Church which Jesus founded 2000 years ago! (Matt. 16:18)

26.09.18 “Spirit Distributed Gifts?” (1 Cor. 12:1-11)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Thu, 17 Sep 2026 22:34:56 +0000

Are you amazed at how different people are, one from another, even in the same family? That, is a beautiful work of God in the unique design and development of each human being, made in His image. And I hope, as you stand in front of the mirror, your uniqueness awakens thanksgiving and praise to God, from deep in your soul! It’s Psalm 139:13-16 isn’t it? Now imagine that uniqueness multiplied in our world of 8.4 billion people!!

Did you know that when a person, any person, anywhere in the world, enters into a life transforming relationship with God through Jesus Christ, then Almighty God goes to work in that person, accomplishing a long list of additional miraculous things? (2 Cor. 5:17) Did you know that ONLY God can accomplish each of those miracles? Do you know God does that wonderful work inside each of us uniquely, individually, personally and with careful precision?!

26.09.16 “Respecting The Lord’s Supper” (1 Cor. 11:23-29)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Wed, 16 Sep 2026 09:20:12 +0000

Have you ever been part of an organization accused of this: ‘your meetings do more harm than good‘? Oh my! What if someone accused your church of that problem? Would it surprise you if I told you the apostle Paul actually said THAT about the Christians who gathered in the big city of Corinth in the mid first century? Have you ever known a church that was actually told it would be better for their city if that church closed? If so, can you imagine how Jesus felt about that situation?

26.09.17 “Experience the Lord’s Supper?” (1 Cor. 11:23-29)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Tue, 15 Sep 2026 20:18:30 +0000

Would you agree that perhaps the most significant aspect of any Christian worship service, anywhere in the world, is the celebration of what many call ‘The Lord’s Supper”? As I’m sure you know that experience has dramatic differences depending on the part of the world where it is celebrated, or the denomination or particular branch of Christianity.We have a brief record of that experience when Jesus led His disciples through it, in the Gospels of Matthew 26:26-29; Mark 14:22-25 and Luke 22:14-22. Interestingly, John the beloved disciple, who we know was reclining right next to Jesus at the table, (John 13:23) does NOT include that portion of the evening in his 5 chapter account of what took place that night in the Jerusalem upper room!

26.09.14 “Chaos or God’s Order?” (1 Cor. 11:3)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Sun, 13 Sep 2026 21:22:39 +0000

Have you ever walked into a chaotic situation and asked, ‘who’s in charge here?’ Or maybe you’ve seen a sign on an office door which says, ‘the buck stops here’. Responsibility and authority are very important aspects of our human race and how we live and work together as families, or communities or nations, right? You’ll recall we are working our way through the apostle Paul’s first letter to the Christians in the wild and crazy city of Corinth, Greece, in the mid first century. With well armed Roman soldiers visible everywhere in cities like Corinth, the political and military authority of Rome was undeniable. But Corinth was a wild town and as people were trusting Jesus Christ to be their Savior and coming together to form a church of Christ followers, this issue of authority became contentious.

26.09.15 “Does Jesus submit to God?” (1 Corinthians 11:3)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Sun, 13 Sep 2026 20:58:38 +0000

Have you ever tried to explain God, to anyone, even to a child? Where do you begin?For centuries, in every society of the world, human beings have struggled trying to understand and explain God. Who is God? How do we know God? What are God’s attributes? How does God interface with our universe, our planet earth and us humans? Is there one God or many gods?The apostle Paul was trying to help the Christians know God in the big city of Corinth, Greece in the mid first century. We’re working our way through Paul’s first letter to them and today, let’s complete our close look at a very powerful statement Paul made about God: “I want you to realize that the head of every man is Jesus Christ; and the head of every wife is her husband; and the head of Jesus Christ is God.” (1 Cor. 11:3) Yesterday we looked closely at the first two phrases in this powerful statement, today let’s try to understand that last phrase: “the head of Jesus Christ is God.” What does that mean?

26.09.12 “Have it BOTH Ways?” (1 Corinthians 10:18-24)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 20:15:20 +0000

25 years ago, this weekend the world held its collective breath, do you remember WHY? Never before had the skies over America been emptied of all airplanes, but it happened on 9/11 as air traffic grounded every airplane in fear there were other terrorists. “Ground Zero”, as they named the burning pile of rubble in downtown NYC, was still smoldering and ash covered everything for many blocks in all directions. Thousands of friends and family members were desperately awaiting contact from their loved ones who had gone to work that morning of 9/11 but did not come home. Our world was in shock, and anger was boiling in the souls of many people.

The risks and dangers of America’s freedoms, for both its citizens and visitors, was horrifically evident in those terrible days. Remember?

Once again God’s Word is so very relevant. We’re navigating our way through the apostle Paul’s first letter to the Christians in Corinth, in the middle of that dangerous first century. Today we’re in 1 Corinthians 10 and I draw our attention to vs. 23,24: “I have the right to do anything, but not everything is constructive. No one should seek their own good, but the good of others…whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” (1 Cor. 10:23,24,31) Oh my!

26.09.11 “THE most Pivotal Event in History?” (1 Cor. 10:16,17)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Thu, 10 Sep 2026 21:45:10 +0000

I’m sure I don’t need to draw your attention to the significance of today’s date. Just the words “9/11” very likely recall horrific images in your memories and stir up deep emotions in your heart… at least if you are older than age 20 or so. Saying that causes my heart to skip a beat. Do you realize how many people are alive in our world today, for whom 9/11 is nothing more than a historical event they’ve read or heard about, or maybe seen pictures of? Yet that day changed our world in so many ways, didn’t it? Not unlike December 7, 1941, do you agree? For that reason may I call 9/11 a ‘pivotal’ moment in history?

Now, hold that thought, while you join me again with the apostle Paul as he is writing a very significant document, which has affected hundreds of millions of people since 55ad when Paul wrote the letter we know as 1 Corinthians, found in your Bible. Today let’s continue in 1 Corinthians 10, with these words Paul wrote, found in vs. 16: “Is not the cup of thanksgiving, for which we give thanks, a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?“ (1 Corinthians 10:16)

26.09.09 ‘Resisting Pressure?’ (1 Corinthians 10:1-13)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Tue, 08 Sep 2026 21:34:52 +0000

I wonder where in life you feel the most pressure? Is it pressure to succeed and achieve better results than the people you feel you are competing with in life, whether that’s schooling or job or sibling rivalry or even athletics or your hobbies? Is it pressure to fit in with the crowd or pressure to lead when you don’t want to lead? Is it moral pressure or financial pressure? Or maybe you feel the pressure of your heritage, to honor a legacy, or a family name?

26.09.08 “How Far is Too Far?” (1 Corinthians 9:19-22)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Mon, 07 Sep 2026 22:01:35 +0000

In almost every endeavor in life there are limitations, boundaries, for our own safety and survival, right? You and I have both pressed against those boundaries in our life journeys, haven’t we? Hopefully we learned important life lessons in those times. Yet in every generation there have been those people willing to push beyond the boundaries, to risk life and limb to accomplish what others have never been able to do, sometimes to their own detriment. Have you known anyone like that? Lately, we’ve been seeking to understand Paul’s remarkable first letter to his Christian friends in the first century city of Corinth, Greece. Paul’s words are so relevant to our day, aren’t they? In his 9th chapter Paul makes this remarkable, boundary stretching statement: ‘Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible…I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the Gospel…’ (1 Cor. 9:19,22) Yes, slavery, as we know, was prolific in the first century Roman empire. But Paul was a free Roman citizen! (Acts 16:38)

26.09.04 “Knowledge, Good or Bad?” (1 Cor. 8:1-9)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Thu, 03 Sep 2026 20:36:28 +0000

School is now back in session for almost all students of all ages, in most parts of the world. So here’s an important question: WHY school? WHY does every society in the world place a high value on educating their children? Why do many societies urge ALL their citizens to keep learning, at every age, for the rest of their lives? Is there a danger in too much learning? I’m sure we all agree that education is fundamental to human life. Probably all of us know at least one adult living the tragedy of illiteracy… they have simply never learned to read or write. People, families, communities and entire societies greatly benefit as the educational level, the amount of learning increases, right? But join me again as the apostle Paul cautions us about learning, in the 8th chapter of his first letter to his Christian friends in the great city of Corinth, Greece about 2000 years ago.

Pastor Doug Anderson — Sun, 30 Aug 2026 21:38:38 +0000

As we begin a new week together I have an important question for us: Is the Holy Spirit of God ready to lead us into understanding God’s truth even in such widespread confusion in our world? How does God teach us to think wisely, truthfully, and with purity in our decadent world, when so often public opinion is opposed to God’s ways and God’s truth?

26.08.29 “Holy Sexual Relations?” (1 Corinthians 7:1-7)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Fri, 28 Aug 2026 20:34:50 +0000

No matter where you live in the world, would you agree that one of the most frequently discussed topics, and one of the more volatile of all human relationships is… MARRIAGE!? And when considering marriage, do you find that the sexual relations aspect of marriage, if one of the most frequently thought about and maybe even discussed topics? Aren’t you glad the Bible does NOT shy away from such topics but always calls us to a reverent and holy conversation? After all, God is listening! And God has designed marriage, every aspect of marriage, including the physical intimacy aspect.

26.08.28 "Not Mastered by Anything" (1 Cor. 6:12-20)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Thu, 27 Aug 2026 22:44:01 +0000

Have you ever struggled to break a bad habit, or maybe control a harmful but powerful urge you have? Have you battled with a sweet tooth, and you struggle to control your sugar intake or maybe it’s an emotional thing like controlling your anger? Join me again, with the apostle Paul, in the sixth chapter of his first letter which he’s writing to the Christians in the wild city of Corinth, Greece in about 55ad. Yesterday we looked at this powerful statement Paul wrote: “I have the right to DO anything, you say – but not everything is beneficial.” (1 Cor. 6:12) And that’s why developing mature discernment and self control is so important, right? Now today, let’s add another statement from Paul, found in the very same verse: “I have the right to do anything’ – but I will not be mastered by anything.” Do you know anyone who struggles with habits or attitudes or temptations that they have a very, very hard time controlling?

26.08.27 “Not Beneficial?” (1 Cor. 6:12)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Wed, 26 Aug 2026 23:02:22 +0000

You and I live at a time in history when ‘demanding your rights’ is becoming an epidemic movement, at least in societies where that is tolerated. I’m sure you’ve seen, as I have, those demands leading to conflict. As Paul was writing to the Corinthian Christens, he evidently needed to address that very issue, even 2000 years ago. Join me again as we consider Paul’s sixth chapter of his first letter to the small group of Christians in Corinth, one of the most out of control cities in the first century. Paul wrote: “I have the right to do anything’, you say – ‘but not everything is beneficial.” (1 Cor. 6:12) Now that statement calls for wisdom, doesn’t it? In fact, King Solomon wrote much of the book of Proverbs wisdom to help humanity wrestle with that one statement. Do you spend much time searching for God’s wisdom?

26.08.26 “No Lawsuits!” (1 Cor. 6:1-11)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Tue, 25 Aug 2026 21:32:42 +0000

Have you discovered there are two places on earth which should be the SAFEST places, the most LOVING places, but sadly are too often ferocious battlegrounds? Do you know why? Those two places are FAMILY and CHURCH. And they have long been war zones because the dark kingdom, led by Satan who hates Jesus, is always opposed to God and His work in our world. Satan’s kingdom attacks most ferociously in the Family and the Church because if someone can be wounded there, the chances are very high they will disengage from both family and God! From the time you were born, your family, by God’s design, should be the place you are most accepted, most understood, most supported and encouraged, most loved. But do you know any families which are actually so dysfunctional the children don’t want to go home after school, or the spouses have divorced, or there is abuse and these families are actually dangerous, violent places which wound those who live there deeply?

29.08.25 “Unrepentant Sin” (1 Corinthians 5)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Mon, 24 Aug 2026 20:44:36 +0000

Here’s an important question: How do you think God views a person who claims to have been saved from their sin condemnation, by their trust in Jesus Christ, but is living in unrepentant adultery. or a similar sin? Notice important keys in my question. First, I’m asking what you believe would be GOD’s view of this person and upon what Scripture truth are you basing your belief? Second, notice this is a person who CLAIMS to be redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ and therefore is an authentic, Holy Spirit, indwelt Christian. Third, notice this person is living in UNrepentant adultery. It means they know adultery is wrong and abhorrent to God, but they are actively living in that sin with NO intention of repenting of their sin.

26.08.24 “No Tolerance!” (1 Corinthians 5)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Sun, 23 Aug 2026 21:18:11 +0000

Do you find the world seems to have two very different MORAL STANDARDS for people in your city? One high moral standard for Christians, and a different, lower moral standard for everyone else, or at least for those who claim no religious affiliation? And do you notice that when a Christian, especially a high-profile Christian, fails morally, the world goes crazy?

26.08.22 “Spiritual Legacy Evaluation?” (1 Cor. 3)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 21:42:40 +0000

Reward is an important word in every society, isn’t it? As children we sought rewards from our parents when we did chores they gave us, or as students we hoped for rewards with good grades, right? As employees we expect a paycheck and hopefully some words of encouragement from time to time? But, honestly now, do we expect some rewards from God for living what we believe to be ‘good Christian lives’? Yesterday you and I looked closely as the apostle Paul was writing something very specific about this matter of rewards. We’re in 1 Corinthians 3 and Paul was chastising his Christian Corinthian friends for their spiritual immaturity, remember? He felt their spiritual focus had turned away from Jesus. Disagreements and divided allegiances were causing them to live very much like the non-Christians in Corinth.

Are you not acting as mere humans?” (1 Cor. 3:1-3) Oh my, that’s a wakeup call for all of us, isn’t it? Do you see two very important truths here?

26.08.20 “Living with Two Minds” (Corinthians 2:6-16)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Wed, 19 Aug 2026 20:32:46 +0000

While you and I cannot be in two physical places at the same time, can we be in two places in our minds simultaneously? Of course! But can we see our world, understand our world and think in our world with TWO minds simultaneously? Can we think with our practical mind, based on the things we validate with our five practical senses, and at the same time think with a spiritual mind, with the Holy Spirit of God validating that type of spiritual thinking?

Do you understand what I’m asking? Has God given us human beings, made in His image, the ability to think both practically and spiritually at the same time, while living very practical lives here on earth? YES, that is God’s design for every person! But the truth is relatively few people achieve that God given potential. Why?

26.08.19 “Humble Paul” (1 Cor. 2:1-5)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Tue, 18 Aug 2026 20:50:51 +0000

How important is HUMILITY to you? Humility in leaders, humility in friendships, humility you see in yourself? 2700 years ago, God said something to the Jewish prophet Isaiah which has become very significant in my life. God said: “This is the person I look on with favor: those who are humble and contrite in heart and tremble at My word.” (Is. 66:2)

Oh my, that causes me to pause and do some serious introspection. What about you? How often could you and I be described as ‘humble, contrite in heart and trembling in awe at the significance of God’s Word’?

26.08.18 “The Ultimate Wisdom” (1 Corinthians 1:18-31)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Mon, 17 Aug 2026 21:55:21 +0000

What in our world causes you to feel inadequate, or foolish in your wisdom, or unprepared for the challenges you face in life? The amount of global information continues to grow at such a fast pace that even huge data centers, with thousands of computers collecting and tracking all information, cannot keep pace. Is it science or technology or AI or global business or social media pressure which causes you to feel so inadequate?

26.08.17 “The FOOLISH Cross?” (1 Cor. 1:18)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Sun, 16 Aug 2026 21:03:22 +0000

Did you know the Gospel of Jesus Christ seems like foolishness to many people? In fact, join me again today with the apostle Paul as he is writing his first letter to the Christians living in a very confused city, Corinth, in about 55ad. Paul knew the Christians then, as today, were ridiculed by people who really didn’t want to understand what Jesus had done to prove God’s love for them, and offer them rescue from their sin bondage. Why? Because for many of them, their sin was fun! Their sin was rewarding, as cheating often can be. For others their sin was enslaving, and they couldn’t imagine being set free.

Pastor Doug Anderson — Fri, 14 Aug 2026 21:29:42 +0000

When you hear news of distant family or friends embroiled in disagreements how do you respond? Join me again with the apostle Paul in the great city of Ephesus in 55ad. As we saw yesterday Paul was experiencing both a wonderful response to his proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus in Ephesus, as well as great opposition from many people who rejected what Paul presented and they wanted Paul silenced! I explained to you yesterday that Ephesus was experiencing a great spiritual war as both Satan and Jesus battled for the soul of that city, one person at a time.

26.08.14 “In Two Places Simultaneously?” (Acts 19:20,21)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Thu, 13 Aug 2026 21:26:23 +0000

What motivates you to take action? A need you want to meet? A personal agenda or dream you want to accomplish? Responding to a call for help from someone you care about? Or maybe the financial or accolades benefit you anticipate? I left you yesterday with the apostle Paul, in the great city of Ephesus, in about 55ad. Paul had been there several months (Acts 19:10) and was seeing remarkable results in response to his proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in various settings. (Acts 19:20) You may recall we looked briefly, yesterday, at an event which shook the city of Ephesus at its social, moral and spiritual core.

26.08.13 “Holy Spirit strategies” (Acts 19:1-20)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Wed, 12 Aug 2026 21:47:10 +0000

Have you given much thought to the many ways Jesus makes Himself known to such a wide diversity of people all around our world? Join me again in the great city of Ephesus in about 55ad with the apostle Paul, on his third missionary journey. This is his second visit to Ephesus and Acts 19:10 tells us Paul spent more than 2 years in this great city this time! By my calculation that is the longest time we have any record of Paul spending, in any one place, since Barnabas drew Paul from Tarsus to join him in Syrian Antioch, several years before. (Acts 11:25,26) I find it fascinating that the Holy Spirit led the apostle Paul to engage multiple strategies in bringing the truth and power of the Gospel of Jesus to the city of Ephesus, and it causes me to ask how effectively Christians in your city and mine are bringing Jesus to our towns?

26.08.12 “Holy Spirit Baptism” (Acts 19:1-7)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Tue, 11 Aug 2026 21:46:28 +0000

There are some words in our Christian vocabulary which stir up people and fairly quickly evidence their differences, would you agree? “Baptism” is one of those words, isn’t it? Yesterday I left you in a conversation the apostle Paul was having with some people in the great city of Ephesus who thought they were Christians, but they admitted they had never heard of the Holy Spirit! Furthermore, when Paul asked them if they had been baptized, they answered yes, with John the Baptist’s baptism. (Acts 19:1-5)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Mon, 10 Aug 2026 21:09:17 +0000

Today, as we travel with the apostle Paul on his third missionary journey, we’ll see some examples of why. I left you yesterday in Ephesus as Paul had arrived and was both challenging spiritual confusion and clarifying important truths about Jesus. We saw yesterday there were some in Ephesus who believed in Jesus but had never heard about the Holy Spirit of God and His role in their salvation, their sanctification and their daily lives as Christians. (Acts 19:1,2) In that conversation, Paul asked an important question: “What baptism did you receive?’ ‘John’s baptism’ they replied.” (Acts 19:3)

26.08.10 “Gospel clarity importance!” (Acts 18:24-19:2)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Sun, 09 Aug 2026 20:58:12 +0000

Yesterday we met a man named Apollos. He was an intelligent scholar, well-grounded in Old Testament Scriptures and a remarkably gifted communicator. He had come to Ephesus from Alexandria, Egypt. (Acts 18:24) It appears it didn’t take long for him to earn both a hearing and a following. The problem was Apollos was only PARTIALLY right in his teachings about the Bible and especially about Jesus. While Apollos was evidently convinced that Jesus is the Jewish Messiah, he did not understand the full Gospel of salvation by faith in Jesus, nor the work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of Christians.

26.08.07 “Concluding Paul’s 2nd Missionary Journey” (Acts 18:18-22)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Thu, 06 Aug 2026 22:06:37 +0000

Paul lived with open ears, open hands and heart, always ready to hear the Holy Spirit tell him it was time to move on, to another place, but always with a similar life purpose. That challenges me, how about you, my friends? We call this daily encounter “Walking with Jesus”. but to actually live that phrase requires being willing and able to FOLLOW Jesus when He points us to a new path. Pause. Willing… is your heart willing to receive a new invitation from God to something you can’t possibly even imagine?

26.08.06 “God given Encouragement?” (2 Thess. 3)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Wed, 05 Aug 2026 23:20:53 +0000

When was the last time you felt ENCOURAGED by God? What words did you hear / what sight did you see / what music or meditation drew your mind and heart to a place of celebration and great joy… that could only have come into your soul from God? You and I live at a time in history when a great deal of energy and resources are being spent to help people find happiness and joy, because we live in a world full of pain and suffering, right? Yet have you noticed the tremendous difference between God given encouragement or contentment and the world provided, momentary happiness? With the closing paragraphs of Paul’s second letter to his Christian friends living in very difficult times in Thessalonica, Paul urges them to grasp the magnitude of this: “May our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and God our Father, who loved us and by His grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you…” (2 Thess. 2:16,17)

As you look around your world, what are some evidences you see of great power? How about a nuclear power plant producing huge amounts of electricity? Or maybe a rocket launch? Or maybe military power or political power, or even the power of AI? Now here’s an important question: can you distinguish the difference between when power is being used for good, or when power is being used for evil? Over the past few days, we’ve been with the apostle Paul in early 51ad as he is writing his second letter to the Christians in the Macedonian city of Thessalonica. Paul has been trying to correct confusion about the future returns to earth of Jesus Christ, and what we should anticipate will happen each time Jesus returns here. In 2 Thessalonian 2, Paul describes the rise of a very evil man often called ‘the antichrist’ and his global evil influence.

26.08.04 “Holding Back the Lawless One?” (2 Thess. 2:3-8)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Mon, 03 Aug 2026 21:37:22 +0000

Let’s return to 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 and what Paul was explaining to Christians in 51ad about a future “day of the Lord.” As we saw yesterday, not only will this ‘antichrist’ person be very wicked and fully opposed to God, God’s Truth, God’s Purposes and God’s people, 2 Thess. 2:4 says: “He will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.“ So, in addition to being very wicked, this man will declare himself not only to be the political dictator of the world; and supreme leader of all militaries; this ‘antichrist’ will also declare himself to be the supreme GOD, above all the gods, of all religions!

Word has come to Paul that the Thessalonians were deeply troubled, and confused, regarding some future events Paul had informed them about. So, Paul wrote: “Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to Him, we ask you…not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teachings…asserting that the day of the Lord has already come.” (2 Thess. 2:1,2)

Therefore, among God’s churches we boast about your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and trials you are enduring.” (2 Thess. 1:3,4)

That is not a new phenomenon. Just as the apostle Paul was finishing his first letter to his Christian friends in Thessalonica, Paul found himself the focus of an out-of-control mob in Corinth!

26.07.30 “Sanctify us, Lord!” (1 Thess. 5:23,24)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Wed, 29 Jul 2026 22:43:14 +0000

What would be required for you and me to become the very best possible version of ourselves? Have you ever thought about that? No matter our age, our ethnicity or where we live in the world, does God have a best potential design for you and me at this point in our lives? Would you agree this famous 2 Cor. 5:17 statement from the apostle Paul is an important part of our becoming the best version of ourselves possible: “If anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation: the old has gone and the new has come. All this is from God who reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ…” Oh yes, my friends, our God given potential BEGINS with our soul transformation when God does His great life changing salvation work in us, as we repent of our sin and trust Jesus Christ to save us from our sin condemnation! But did you know God has MORE, much more, that He wants to accomplish in your life and mine, for achieving our God given potential, and for His glory? As Paul concludes his first letter, to the first generation of Christians in the Macedonian city of Thessalonica, Paul gets quite excited about helping them realize how they could become the very best version of who God designed them to be. Today let’s join Paul’s excitement as we consider how these words could become life changing for you and me, my friends: “May God Himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The One who calls you is faithful and He will do it.“ (1 Thess. 5:23,24)

If someone was to ask you for wisdom in how to daily face the dysfunction of our world, I wonder what brief wisdom you’d give? What dysfunction? How about these which are top concerns around the world. 1. Corruption in leadership is destroying organizations and even nations all around the world, right? Do you see corruption in leadership where you live? 2. How about widespread greed, even in very high places, which can result in schemes and scams; bribery, tax evasion, cartel gang activity and even nations warring against each other. Are people being harmed by greed where you live? 3. And what about moral collapse in people and even many segments of society leading to social implosion?

It’s actually the closing paragraph or two of his first letter to his Christian friends in the Greek city of Thessalonica. It’s powerful and let’s take it one memorable line at a time. If we’ll let it impact our lives, I’m confident it will challenge and change us, even though written 2000 years ago!

26.07.27 “Day of the Lord?” (1 Thess. 5:1-11)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Sun, 26 Jul 2026 22:21:44 +0000

MONDAYs have a reputation, would you agree? Most people see Monday as the most difficult day of the week. Why? Because Monday follows the weekend, which for most people has historically been more relaxed and enjoyable than the work week, right? But if Mondays are challenging, can you imagine what the NEXT day after the ‘Rapture’ will be for those who are ‘left behind’? While the word “rapture” was not used by Paul in his description of the phenomenon we looked at yesterday, outlined in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, it is a word meaning ‘taken up’ and has been used by many people to describe that remarkable event, why? Because in a moment every genuine, living Christian will be removed from planet earth! Of course, that means the only people left alive on earth a few minutes later will be those who had NOT trusted in Jesus Christ for their salvation from their sin condemnation, thus the phrase “left behind”. While Paul concluded 1 Thessalonians 4 with these words directed to the Thessalonian Christians: “Therefore encourage one another with these words” (1 Thess. 4:18) in truth what Paul described will be nothing short of terrifying to all those who contemplate being ‘left behind’.

Then as now, one of the troubling issues facing everyone was something that occurs thousands of times every day, all around the world and will impact EVERY human life at some point… DEATH. Paul was led by the Holy Spirit to write hope and life into their uncertainty about death. Paul began with these captivating words: “Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind who have no hope.” (1 Thess. 4:13)

We understand that each of us builds our personal reputation every day, right? So, when your name is mentioned, what reputation descriptive words come immediately into the minds of people? Will you be satisfied to leave your reputation as it is, or are there some changes you’d like to make in the remaining time you have to live? Of course, none of us knows when our time will run out and we’ve written the final words of our life story, right? That is why the apostle Paul was led by the Holy Spirit to write about this issue of personal reputation in the fourth chapter of his first letter to his Christian friends in the Macedonian city of Thessalonica.

26.07.22 “Good News!” (1 Thessalonians 3)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 21:58:27 +0000

Let’s join the apostle Paul again in late 50ad, as he’s writing a letter to his friends, the first Christians in the city of Thessalonica. I wonder if your impression of Paul is that he’s a hard driving, no nonsense, maybe zero tenderness kind of man, always pushing himself and others for more? In Paul’s third chapter of this letter, Paul gives us some insight into his true, tender heart. He loved bringing the Gospel of Jesus to places neither he nor any other apostle of Jesus had ever been. And in each place Paul not only shared theological truth, Paul shared himself. His tenderness, his compassion, his love for these Gentiles, most of whom had never heard of Jesus! (1 Thess. 2:8) For some reason Paul had connected at a deeply emotional level with these people in Thessalonica, even though he’d been run out of their town after only a few weeks! (Acts 17:1-10)

26.07.21 “Making a REAL Difference?” (1 Thessalonians 2)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Mon, 20 Jul 2026 21:42:28 +0000

One of the things all of us do, from time to time, is reflect on our past life experiences and wonder what the results of those experiences will be over the longer term, am I right? For someone like the apostle Paul I imagine not a day went by that he didn’t spend at least some time doing exactly that, for he had so many traumatic, significant experiences in his life in so many different places. Join me again in the great city of Corinth, in late 50ad, as Paul is writing a letter to the people in the city of Thessalonica who had trusted in Jesus during Paul’s few weeks there. Today let’s look at chapter two of 1 Thessalonians. Paul’s opening statement reflects his hope that his brief time in their town really had made a big difference. Paul writes: “You know, brothers and sisters, that our visit to you was NOT without results. We had previously suffered and been treated outrageously in Philippi, as you know, but with the help of our God we dared to tell you His gospel in the face of strong opposition.” (1 Thess. 2:1,2)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Sun, 19 Jul 2026 21:32:31 +0000

Once again God’s timing is perfect for us on this journey together. I left you yesterday in the great city of Corinth about the year 50ad. Remember? The apostle Paul and his companions, Silas, Timothy, Dr. Luke and his friends Aquila and Priscilla are settling down after having been on the move, from town to town, for such a long time. Luke recorded it this way: “So Paul stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God.” (Acts 18:11) Can you imagine having passionate, firebrand apostle Paul living in your town for 18 months? How might that impact you and your community? It should not be difficult to imagine that Paul tried to maximize EVERY day of those 18 months. How? By teaching the truths of Jesus Christ, as Jesus had explained them to Paul through the Holy Spirit, as we saw in his letter to the Galatian Christians.

Paul explained the one, true, living, Holy, Almighty God and the foolishness of idolatry. Paul also warned of an ultimate accounting before God for all humanity and Paul predicted that the judge in that accounting will be Jesus Christ. (Acts 17:19-31)

But my friends, do you understand the difference between a powerful orator and a message anointed and applied to your soul by the Holy Spirit of God? It is in those spiritual situations where real life change can happen. It’s far more than emotions or logic or manipulation; it’s God touching your soul!

Paul had actually been INVITED by these intellectuals to explain to them the new ideas he was proclaiming in Athens. So, without any notes in his hand Paul rose to his feet and started by complimenting the Athenians, because Paul had seen so many great sculptures in the city and even altars. But one in particular amazed him because it had the inscription: “To An Unknown God”.

Pastor Doug Anderson — Mon, 13 Jul 2026 21:51:48 +0000

I left you yesterday with Paul and Silas, traveling at night, having rushed out of Thessalonica, after a riot! (Acts 17:10) Dr. Luke reports they followed the well-traveled road south to the town of Berea, about 45 miles southwest. Historical records tell us this and other well-traveled Roman roads like it were patrolled by soldiers and had waystations about every 8-10 miles for travelers to pause and rest in safety, even at night. Considering the fact they rushed out of Thessalonica fleeing a riot, it’s not difficult for me to imagine they traveled all night, and by daylight could have reached Berea.

That question is fair, legitimate and has been faced by Billions of Christians since the days of Jesus. In fact, I left you yesterday watching Paul and Silas ‘rushed’ out of town, at night, by new believers in Jesus, because the opposition had grown so violent! (Acts 17:8-10)

26.07.11 “Thessalonica Tragedy?” (Acts 17:1-9)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Sat, 11 Jul 2026 03:16:26 +0000

Over the past few days, we’ve been traveling with the apostle Paul, Silas, Timothy and Dr. Luke on what we can call Paul’s SECOND missionary journey. This journey began in Syrian Antioch with only Paul and Silas. Their initial objective was revisiting the places Paul and Barnabas had first visited perhaps 5 years earlier. Those places included Derbe and then Lystra, where young Timothy joined them. (Acts 16:1-5) Then on to Iconium and Pisidian Antioch. But Paul was not satisfied with only familiar places, and you’ll recall that as Paul tried to push further west the record of this trip indicates “the Spirit of the Lord Jesus would not allow them to.” (Acts 16:6,7) Yes, it’s true! The Holy Spirit of God was leading Paul very carefully by both motivating him to keep traveling, but then blocking his path and diverting him, eventually to Troas, a coastal city which Paul had evidently not planned to visit!?

Do you like stories which have ‘happy endings’? Sadly, in both the artificial world of entertainment but also the world of reality, ‘happy ending’ stories are rare in our modern world, no matter where you live in the world. Do you agree? But today I’m happy to invite you into the happy ending of a story we’ve been experiencing the past several days. This remarkable event happened about 2000 years ago in the city of Philippi, Macedonia. It’s recorded for us in Acts 16 in the Bible. I left you yesterday with the apostle Paul and Silas, who were having their beating wounds cared for and being given a meal by the prison jailer, after a violent earthquake shook the city of Philippi.

“Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open and all the prisoner’s chains came loose.” (Acts 16:26) I presume that means the anchors in the dungeon walls, to which the prisoner chains were attached, broke free from the walls, as did leg stocks and other things. Suddenly the prisoners were loose and the door flung open!

Pastor Doug Anderson — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 20:27:31 +0000

What has been the most direct and forceful opposition YOU have ever faced to Christianity, especially YOUR relationship with Jesus and your conviction the Bible is God’s truth for our world? Pause and think about that for a few seconds. Let’s join the apostle Paul, Silas, Timothy and Dr. Luke as they are spending their first days in Philippi, Macedonia. For Dr. Luke this is fairly familiar territory since he was a Greek physician, perhaps from Macedonia!! But for the other three, we can presume this Roman city is quite different from what was familiar to them, especially Jerusalem. When’s the last time you traveled into a culture VERY different from what was familiar to you? How did you feel there?

Time after time they had encountered unexpected God created ‘roadblocks’ which forced them to take detours to other places, eventually ending up in Troas. Pause. How do you and I handle the frustration of ‘roadblocks’ and ‘detours’ as we rush through our busy days? How often do we consider it might actually be GOD steering our course and helping us avoid disaster? While there in Troas, Paul had a very significant dream, which changed history!

Pastor Doug Anderson — Sat, 04 Jul 2026 10:35:30 +0000

This is a very historic weekend for America and our world, isn’t it? July 4th has long been celebrated as America’s Independence Day and this weekend marks 250 years. Regardless of what actually took place on the 4th of July in 1776, anywhere in those Colonies or England, one overarching question demands a response: WHAT IF the fight for Independence, for those Colonies later called the United States of America…had failed? Our world would certainly be very different from what it has been and is today, I’m sure you agree. You and I, and people of all generations, have lived with the struggle of “what if”, haven’t we? We face that question every time we stand at the crossroads of decision.

26.07.01 “Drifting to re-enslavement?” (Galatians 5)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 21:39:09 +0000

As we rejoin the apostle Paul today, he has picked up his stylus and is writing his fifth chapter of his letter to the people he met, and helped them find FREEDOM in Jesus Christ, while on his first missionary journey. Paul is writing in about 48ad from Syrian Antioch. Listen to these powerful words: “It is for FREEDOM that Jesus Christ has set us free. Stand firm then and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.“ (Gal. 5:1) This is not a political statement but rather a profoundly spiritual and moral statement… which has the power to affect every person on our planet! Do you understand how important it is for people IN Freedom to stand strong and work to remain FREE? Why?

We all understand watching a TIME countdown to a specific EVENT, right? It happens every New Year’s Eve, in every time zone of the world. It happens as a rocket launch approaches, or a baby is about to be born, or almost anything that is scheduled to happen at a particular moment. So, here’s an important question: Does God sometimes work on a time schedule that includes a ‘countdown’?

Pastor Doug Anderson — Sun, 28 Jun 2026 22:53:36 +0000

Have you ever been in a job, or a relationship, or an organization which you felt restricted you to the point you almost felt in bondage? If you were delivered from that bondage, do you remember the exhilarating freedom you felt? That is the focus of the apostle Paul’s third chapter in his powerful letter to those he had met, as he and Barnabas traveled the region known today as southern Turkey. In the first century that region was the provinces of Pamphylia, Pisidia and Galatia. Paul’s letter, we call Galatians, is a letter which celebrates FREEDOM from bondage.

Have you ever felt fully energized because your purpose and direction was clear? Perhaps you’ve experienced the opposite, when you felt lethargic and struggling to discern what your next steps should be or if what you were doing had any value at all? I have found myself in both situations during my lifetime.

Join me again alongside the apostle Paul and Barnabas as they wrestle with disturbing news that came to them from some of the towns they had visited and brought to those people the Gospel of Jesus. Do you remember those towns? Perga / Pisidian Antioch / Iconium / Lystra and Derbe, all of which are in modern day southern Turkey. The story of that first missionary journey is told in Acts 13 & 14 and we spent several days traveling with Paul and Barnabas.

Have you ever had to write a letter to clear up some misunderstanding about something you said, or maybe clarify your actions or intentions that have been misinterpreted and twisted to the detriment of your personal reputation? Today, join me again in the city of Syrian Antioch, in about 48ad as the apostle Paul is sitting down to write such a letter at a precarious moment in history. Paul and Barnabas had been back in Antioch from their first missionary journey about a year, (Acts 14:26-28) and they had also recently returned from their trip to Jerusalem, for the ‘Jerusalem council’, which we looked at in Acts 15, the past two days. Acts 15:35 makes it clear Paul and Barnabas both were putting down some roots in Syrian Antioch focusing on teaching the rapidly growing, multi-ethnic group of Jesus followers there.

Yesterday I left you in Jerusalem as the famous “Jerusalem Council” concluded with agreement that God’s Salvation plan, accomplished by Jesus Christ’s teachings, His atonement death and resurrection, is intended by God to be made EQUALLY available to all people of the world, Jew and Gentile, in every generation. And furthermore, as Paul later wrote, God’s Salvation of any person is ONLY and TOTALLY a work of God. “For by GRACE you are saved, through faith, and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works so that no one can boast.” (Eph. 2:8,9)

26.06.24 “The Jerusalem Council” (Acts 15:5-21)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Tue, 23 Jun 2026 21:20:47 +0000

Have you ever been interrogated by someone really pressing you to explain something you did or said or even something you strongly believe? That can be a deeply troubling experience, especially if your interrogator is relentless in their pressure and arousing doubt in the minds of all who hear you. Let’s rejoin what is sometimes called “the Jerusalem Council” as recorded by Dr. Luke in Acts 15. Paul and Barnabas had come from Syrian Antioch, accompanied by some Gentiles from the Antioch church who were followers of Jesus in that great, multi-ethnic, multi-cultural city. You’ll recall it was there, in Syrian Antioch, not Jerusalem that the followers of Jesus were first called “Christians”, (Acts 11:27) In this historic meeting it didn’t take long for the gauntlet to be laid down by those disputing the Gospel as presented by the apostle Paul and Barnabas: “The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to keep the law of Moses.” They said. (Acts 15:5)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Mon, 22 Jun 2026 21:42:40 +0000

As you look around your part of our world today is CONFUSION a fair word to use in describing much of what you see in education, business, politics, health care, social media, entertainment and even religion? And when you consider my question through generational lenses, do you find the younger the person or group you are considering, the greater their confusion especially about what is true, or what is right, or what is even common sense? Come with me again back to the great city of Syrian Antioch, about 2000 years ago, and let’s join up with Paul and Barnabas. You’ll recall they had returned from their first ‘missionary journey’ which had taken them to Cyprus Island and then up into modern day Turkey, and back again to Antioch. Acts 14:28 reports: “They stayed there in Antioch a long time with the disciples.” We presume that means they both fully re-engaged with the amazing spiritual movement happening in Syrian Antioch, as thousands of people, from many different backgrounds and even ethnicities, were hearing the Gospel of Jesus; experiencing spiritual transformation as they trusted Jesus to be their Savior; and earnestly learning from Paul and Barnabas, about this new life in relationship with resurrected Jesus, empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Pastor Doug Anderson — Sun, 21 Jun 2026 21:48:20 +0000

I wonder if Mondays seem to be an uphill climb for you, as they are for many people around the world? If so, perhaps you’ll find encouragement today in the fifth and final chapter of the first letter to be written and sent to Christians, all across the Roman empire, in the early first century. For the past four days we’ve been walking through this little letter which bears the name of its author, James. You may recall this James was one of four sons of Mary and Joseph, raised in Nazareth, with Jesus as their 1/2 brother! (Matt. 13:53-58) James had become convinced of Jesus’ true identity AFTER His crucifixion and resurrection. When anointed by the Holy Spirit James became a passionate proclaimer of the Gospel of Jesus and one of the significant leaders of the Christ follower movement in Jerusalem.

Of all the muscles in your body, which do you suppose might be the strongest at least in terms of potential impact power? I think it’s TONGUE! It’s a relatively small muscle but oh my we use it for so much in our lives: eating, swallowing, drinking, tasting, and most powerful of all TALKING! Piles of books have been written about the influence, impact, potential and the need to control our tongues. Why? Why such a priority on tongue control? Because every living person has been wounded by the tongues of other people.

I assume most of us see a wide variety of people every day. Have you given yourself a ‘soul check’ recently? What do I mean? What wells up inside your heart when you see someone in a chauffeured limousine or driving an extremely expensive car? And what wells up in your soul when you see a homeless person on the street, or someone dressed in very ragged clothes? Join me again today in Jerusalem about 2000 years ago as James, the 1/2 brother of Jesus, is writing a letter to the first-generation Christians, especially the Messianic Jewish Christians. He’s calling them to give themselves a “soul check”!

Pastor Doug Anderson — Tue, 16 Jun 2026 21:24:17 +0000

We have probably all had the experience of taking some well-deserved time off after completion of a long and very demanding project or assignment, right? I mean the type of assignment which required everything we had to give… time, energy, emotions, finances, physical stamina etc. If you’ve had that experience, you may recall you finished that long assignment totally drained and it required more than days, probably weeks, or even months, for you to regain your energy and strength; to be restored emotionally and spiritually; and even to gain proper perspective on the long and demanding experience you had just completed. That is, I believe, what Paul and Barnabas were experiencing in the weeks and months after their return to Syrian Antioch, where I left you yesterday. (Acts 14:27,28)

Today, let’s join the apostle Paul and Barnabas in a tremendous homecoming reunion. It may have been one of the highlights of their entire lives! I left you with them yesterday in the town of Pisidian Antioch. They were re-tracing their journey during which they had brought the Gospel of Jesus Christ into modern day Turkey. In fact, Paul had summarized his often-difficult missionary journey by saying this to the ‘elders’ of the ‘churches’ which he had started in Derbe, Lystra, Iconium and Pisidian Antioch: “We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God.” (Acts 14:22)

26.06.15 “Paul nearly dead in Lystra!?” (Acts 14:11-23)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Sun, 14 Jun 2026 21:00:44 +0000

Have you ever been caught in an unruly crowd, perhaps you might even call them a mob? Did that mob suddenly become violent and were you frightened for your life? That happened once to me, and I was nearly trampled to death as a boy. My father saved my life by raising me up on his shoulders! I’ll never forget that experience and it was probably 65 years ago! I left you yesterday in a very similar mob scene recorded for us in Acts 14, do you remember? By the power of God, Paul had just healed a crippled man in the town of Lystra. The crowd rushed Paul and Barnabas declaring “the gods have come to us in human form” and they quickly gathered animals and wreaths of flowers about to have a pagan worship service in their honor, including sacrifices! Paul and Barnabas rushed into the crowd declaring “What are you doing? We too are only humans like you…” (Acts 14:11-15) Paul boldly and loudly proclaimed the powerful truth about Jesus. But this crowd had seen a miracle, and, in their delirium, agitators took advantage of the situation and stirred up the crowd turning it into an out-of-control mob.

26.06.13 “Empowered or Run?” (Acts 14:1-15)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 22:21:05 +0000

Despite your best efforts to do the right thing and be helpful to others, do you find there are those who doubt your motives or outright oppose you? How do you handle such opposition? Yesterday we watched as Paul and Barnabas, despite their best efforts to be helpful to the people of Pisidian Antioch, were actually opposed so strongly by some influential people that they had to leave town! Dr. Luke, the author of the book of Acts in the Bible tells us they went east about 100 miles to the city of Iconium.

26.06.12 “Inclusion, Influence and Opposition” (Acts 13:48-52)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 21:27:23 +0000

INCLUSION is a very powerful word in our world, isn’t it? Most people welcome the feeling of being INCLUDED and resist any group from whom they feel EXCLUDED. This time of year, many people are relocating to live in other places or changing jobs so the hunger to be INCLUDED or BELONG can sometimes be nearly desperate. Question: how long of a period of time and what is the process required for someone to feel INCLUDED in your church or social group?

Pastor Doug Anderson — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 22:31:51 +0000

Have you ever been at the ocean shoreline long enough to watch the tide go in or out? Or have you watched a major change in public opinion, in a very short period of time? Today, let’s join Paul and Barnabas as they experience a rapid tidal wave change of opinion among a group of people and it almost cost them their lives!

26.06.10 “Abandonment” (Acts 13:13)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 21:05:09 +0000

The word ABANDON is filled with emotion especially if that word is used with family or friends, right? Have you ever felt abandoned by someone who should have loved you? Yesterday we witnessed a very powerful spiritual victory as the apostle Paul had confronted Jewish sorcerer Elymas calling him a “child of the devil and enemy of everything that is right.”(Acts 13:10) God struck Elymas blind, but meanwhile the proconsul of Paphos, Sergius Paulus, had been convinced of the Gospel truth and power which Paul had proclaimed. Sergius became the first high ranking Cypriot official to become a follower of Jesus Christ. (Acts 13:12)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Mon, 08 Jun 2026 20:35:32 +0000

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you actually felt there was an unseen enemy battling against you? Yesterday I left you in the town of Paphos, on the Island of Cyprus, with Barnabas and Saul facing exactly that situation. These two men, both of whom had experienced the power of Jesus in their lives, had been invited to a meeting with the proconsul official in the town of Paphos. He had heard about them and wanted to hear their story.

Pastor Doug Anderson — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 20:44:52 +0000

Perhaps you’ve heard the phrase “Paul’s first missionary journey”? This event is the beginning of that historic, world impacting, adventure. Barnabas and Saul were sent by the church in Syrian Antioch to faraway places, taking the Gospel message of Jesus Christ, and the story of what God had been doing SINCE Jesus Christ was crucified, raised from the dead, ascended back to heaven and the Holy Spirit had come upon the apostles and other Jesus followers at Pentecost.

26.06.06 “D-Day and Barnabas & Saul” (Acts 13:1-5)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Sat, 06 Jun 2026 09:26:45 +0000

82 years ago this weekend things changed in our world! Do you know why and how? One of the greatest military campaigns of all time is called D-Day as Allied forces crossed the English Channel and stormed the highly fortified beaches and cliffs of France attempting to push back the Nazi German forces who were ravaging all of Europe. Though extremely costly in lives, the war turned this weekend 82 years ago. Commanders planned, soldiers trained, the order was given… and thousands of people put their lives on the line for the freedom of Europe and the entire world. Come with me, back to Syrian Antioch, about 2000 years ago, as we witness another event in which men responded obediently to orders given from their commander and the world is today dramatically different because of their courage. The account is recorded for us in Acts 13, in the Bible.

26.06.05 “Diversity in Leadership” (Acts 13:1, 2)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Thu, 04 Jun 2026 20:36:00 +0000

Come again with me back to Jerusalem and the story we’re following of significant events in the decades following the resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ. Yesterday we watched as Barnabas and Saul left Jerusalem with a young man, John Mark, who wanted to travel with them. They headed north to Syrian Antioch, a city much larger than Jerusalem. But size wasn’t the only distinguishing thing about Syrian Antioch. Its very name shows us that this Antioch was not in Israel but in Syria.

26.06.04 “Strategic Parenting and Grandparenting” (Acts 12:24, 25)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 21:35:35 +0000

When you hear the word ‘FLOURISH’ what images come into your mind? Perhaps a flower bed, or a thriving business, or maybe newborn babies growing well, or maybe a dating relationship moving toward marriage? But what does ‘flourish’ look like SPIRITUALLY in an a person of any age from teen to elderly? Yesterday I left you in Caesarea in the year 44ad. How do I know that? Because historical records tell us 44ad is the year King Herod Agrippa I died in Caesarea of a severe abdominal crisis. Yesterday we looked at the shocking Biblical account of that event in Acts 12:19-23.

Pastor Doug Anderson — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 20:34:59 +0000

When you think of the words “God’s Judgment” what comes to your mind? When you watch horrific events take place, do you sometimes think it might be God’s judgment on people or a place? What do you understand that Jesus and the Bible teach us about God’s Judgment? Why is it important today in a world where evil is so rampant and wickedness seems to run wild without accountability?

Do you like to be surprised? I mean the kind of surprise that leaves you almost breathless? Perhaps you like to plan such unexpected, shocking surprises for other people. Join me today in Jerusalem, in the first century, for one of those surprising moments with the apostle Peter. You may recall yesterday we watched as Peter was shocked by an angel’s visit while Peter was chained in a dungeon in Jerusalem.

26.06.01 “An inescapable prison?” (Acts 12:1-11)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Sun, 31 May 2026 22:40:26 +0000

Today we begin a new month, June, and as always, I invite us to pause for a few seconds to reflect on the month just concluded, May. What wonderful experiences did you have in May? What important life lessons did you learn in May? What significant decisions did you make which may affect the remainder of your life? Now… what do you think June might hold for you and me? Aren’t you glad God already sees every moment of the month ahead, and the Holy Spirit of God is ready to lead us through June? Yesterday I left you in Jerusalem with Barnabas and Saul. They had come with a substantial, and sacrificially given offering, to help those struggling under both the iron fist of Rome but also a tragic famine. (Acts 11:30)

26.05.30 “Christians first in Antioch” (Acts 11:25-30)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Fri, 29 May 2026 20:15:18 +0000

Did you know this weekend is one which will find MANY people relocating and starting the next new phase of their life? This is a prime wedding weekend. Also, many recent college grads will be starting their new jobs on Monday, thus they’ll move this weekend. And because Monday begins a new business quarter many businesses made changes in May which will take effect this weekend. Relocation is a big deal bringing with it a fresh start in a new place. You’ve probably experienced it many times as have I! Join me again in the city of Tarsus where Saul is packing, ready to relocate! His life is about to change forever!

26.05.29 “Barnabas Evaluates Antioch” (Acts 11:21-25)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Thu, 28 May 2026 22:34:30 +0000

Have you ever either received a call for help from far away, or sent word to someone far away that you needed their help? Yesterday I left you in the city of Syrian Antioch. The city was in spiritual chaos, similar to what had happened in Jerusalem, after the Holy Spirit came at Pentecost. Many people in Antioch, especially Gentiles, were turning to Jesus as their Savior and things were getting a little out of control! Word reached the apostles in Jerusalem, and of course they did, as they had done before when they heard about revival in Samaria, remember? (Acts 8:14) But this time, rather than sending Peter or John, the apostles sent their trusted friend Barnabas, to go 300 miles north to Syrian Antioch, to investigate what was happening there.

26.05.28 “Chaos in Antioch” (Acts 11:19-21)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Wed, 27 May 2026 20:43:13 +0000

In recent years one of the major global issues challenging Europe and America in particular has been MIGRATION. Wave after wave of human beings fleeing war or government corruption or religious persecution or famine or starvation or even slavery. They flee on foot or in little boats, or by whatever means possible. In many cases they are running for their lives and the future hopes of their children. We’ve all seen the news images and heard the reports of the chaos when millions of people migrate into unprepared cities and countries. But did you know something like that was happening only months after Jesus’ resurrection and ascension? WHAT caused it and WHO were they who fled? They were followers of Jesus, mostly Messianic Jews, and they fled Jerusalem after the execution of Stephen, when a great persecution broke out against them, led by Saul the angry Pharisee. (Acts 8:1-4)

26.05.27 “Holy Spirit anointed Gentiles?” (Acts 10:34-48)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Tue, 26 May 2026 21:51:17 +0000

I wonder what situation you’ve found yourself in when you felt the most out of place? Yesterday I left you in the port city of Caesarea about 2000 years ago, and the Jewish apostle Peter had just been escorted into the house of Roman centurion Cornelius. Peter had said: “You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with a Gentile. But God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean. So, when I was sent for, I came without raising any objection.” (Acts 10:28,29) Of all the places Peter had ever been in his lifetime, including being dragged before the Sanhedrin in Jerusalem, (Acts 4:5-22) I doubt Peter had ever felt more out of place than this day at Cornelius’ house, surrounded by Gentiles and Roman soldiers!

26.05.25 “Hearing and Obeying God?” (Acts 10:1-19)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Sun, 24 May 2026 20:40:54 +0000

We live at a time in human history when ethnic diversity is commonplace in big cities, large airports, universities, and large organizations of every kind. But it wasn’t always that way, was it? Did you know even the Jesus movement faced some major ethnic barriers not long after Jesus’ resurrection and ascension back to heaven? We’ve already seen that Philip, one of the ‘selected seven’, crossed a major ethnic barrier as the Holy Spirit led Philip to take the Gospel into Samaria in Acts 8:4-25. And then the Holy Spirit did it again, as Philip obediently approached a chariot with an African Ethiopian official, who after hearing Philip’s explanation, trusted Jesus to be his Messiah and Savior, and then was baptized!

26.05.23 “Miracles in Lydda & Joppa” (Acts 9:32-43)

Pastor Doug Anderson — Fri, 22 May 2026 22:11:37 +0000

When you watch the news summaries of what is happening around the world simultaneously are you amazed? What really astounds me when I watch global reports, is considering the fact that God is watching all of it happen in real-time and at the same time God knows the future of each of those newsworthy events, and every person involved in each! In the past few days in Acts 9 we’ve been looking closely at the radical transformation of angry Pharisee named Saul of Tarsus being transformed into a passionate follower of Jesus Christ! As I left you yesterday, we were watching Saul sail away from the coastal city of Caesarea heading to his hometown of Tarsus. Saul was in desperate need of some extended time in a safe place to think, pray and seek to understand from God what had happened to him in Damascus, Syria and Jerusalem!
