What is the one important thing in your life? In this message Joe talks about the necessity of doing what benefits our soul because our soul is the most important thing about us. God moved as Joe talked and we're certain you will be blessed by it also. Eyes on Jesus!

In this message, Pastor Doug makes the case for why God requires perfection from us. Yet, none of us actually is perfect, so we are faced with a dilemma. Religion tells us that if we follow a system of rules, we can possibly become good enough. Rebellion says that you cannot be good enough for God, so at least be good enough for yourself. But Jesus offers us an even better way. We can receive His gift and exchange our imperfection for His perfection.

God sees you, not in a Santa Claus "making-his-list-and-checking-it-twice" kind of way, but in a caring way. God does not spy on you, but He does keep His eye on you. How do you respond? In this message, Pastor Doug makes a clear invitation for each person to receive God's gift of salvation.

When life doesn't work out the way we thought it would, our souls become hurt. Everyone carries wounds. For some, these wounds cause a traffic jam in our souls that keep us from placing our faith in Jesus. In this message, Pastor Doug teaches us how to love others through their soul jams and into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Sometimes it is obvious when God is moving. Most of the time, God moves subtly and we need to "noodle". We must be faithful to test out the urges and promptings that we receive. This is how we position ourselves for experiencing Divine appointments. This is the third message in our summer series designed to equip you for maximum effectiveness in sharing your faith.

In this second installmant of the "Move the Ball" series, Pastor Doug teaches us how to seek after people who are interested to know more about Jesus and engage them in conversation.

"If God loves me, why won't my car start?" The answer may surprise you! In this message, Pastor Doug begins to prepare and train us for "New River Fest" which will be a month long, intensive effort to bring God's Kingdom to Manchester.

You're on the west side of the desert. It seems like you're stuck on the sidelines. What is God doing? This message from the life of Moses is sure to encourage you that God is not finished with you yet!

There is nothing more powerful in this world than a man who has stopped living for himself. Good men are powerful. The statistics prove this fact. But godly men? Their potential is unlimited! In this Father's Day message, our men are encouraged to embrace godly manhood as their calling in life.

Thankfully, there is no kids menu in the Kingdom of God! Children can be powerfully filled with the Holy Spirit and used mightily of God. In this message, we examine the lives of three children in the bible who were powerfully used by God to change their world.

A good church does good things. A godly church demonstrates the Presence of God and the Power of God. In this message, Pastor Doug ends with a powerful challenge to "cut the rope". This teaching is a game changer for New River Church!

Godly parents change the world by raising world changers. There is a difference between good parents and godly parents. In this message, Pastor Doug encourages us to see the infinite value of our families. We hope you are blessed by this teaching from God's Word.

In this message Doug continues to explore the incredible potential of godly people by looking at the power of godly youth. He begins by interviewing a new friend named Colin. Colin's testimony is a vivid reminder that our choices really do matter. If you want to see the video, find it on New River Community Church's Facebook page.

All women have God given power, but godly women use that power for great good. In this Mothers Day message, Pastor Doug tackles the difficult issue of women in leadership. In the Kingdom of God, men and women enjoy a co-equal relationship that is unmatched by anything that the world can experience. Jesus died to break the curse of sin and bring the genders together in a powerful way.

In this teaching, David takes us into a conversation that Jesus had with two of His disciples after His resurrection. Jesus, the risen Lord walked with them on the road and yet they did not recognize Him. They witnessed the greatest miracle ever, and they felt a burn in their hearts, but did not to respond. How will you respond when God begins to move in your life?

Naaman the Syrian had everything going for him, but he had leprosy. A Jewish slave girl in his household encouraged him to seek God for healing. Sometimes God's solution for our problems offends our pride. God works in ways we do not expect. Are you ready to rise up?!

There are two great proofs that Jesus lives. The first proof is that Jesus has changed your life. The second proof is how your life changes others. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is at work in and through you...that's a game changer!

From ashes to glory...You took a risk, you thought it was a great idea, and all of your hopes turned to ashes. If this has ever happened in your life and you have wondered what God might be doing, this message from our Easter celebration will encourage you. The resurrection of Jesus is a reminder that God can turn your ashes into glory!

In this message, Pastor Doug talks about the real spiritual battle that rages around us. Jesus taught us to pray, "deliver us from the evil one." This can only mean that the evil one is a potential problem for us. The good news is that we are not alone in this war. Jesus fights it with us. Be encouraged, you cannot lose!

Petition is more than asking God for stuff. The way we ask reveals much about the depth of our relationship with God. In this study of the Lord's Prayer, Pastor Doug talks about how we can approach God in prayer WITH Jesus and find the connection with Him that our souls really desire.
