Welcome to Divine Savior ChurchSeries: 1 Peter - The Living Hope of EasterMessage: Follow In His StepsPreacher: Pastor Ben KuerthService Schedule: Sunday at 9:30am1 Peter 2:13-25Acts 4:1-12, John 16:27-28,33We live in two different kingdoms – the kingdom of the world, and God’s kingdom. As citizens of this kingdom, we are called to submit to the governing authorities. It is part of how we honor God. But we do this remembering there is one true King, and He isn’t voted in. We honor our leaders, but we worship The King. Our submission shows worship to our heavenly King. The truth is, we are free. Free in Jesus – in the living hope of Easter. So let’s live as free people. But as servants honoring God. We aren’t the first to suffer. Jesus did for us. Let’s follow in his steps. We will never have to suffer what He did. And at moments of unjust suffering, we will discover whom we truly worship!Prayer Request: http://dschurch.link/praydoral Connect with us: http://dschurch.link/connectdoralMoved to give? http://dschurch.link/givedoralFor more info about our church please visit our website: https://divinesaviorchurch.com/dscdor/Support the Show.

It’s not easy being a Christian in our world. The living hope of Easter makes it easier, it makes it possible. We learn how to think with hope and how to live with hope. The way we live shows what we are hoping in. God made us “strangers” in this world with the new home He has promised us. Do we live as strangers? Or do we forget that there is more than this? We won’t enjoy living with the love of God until we have the right fear of God. What Jesus did for us at Easter gives us all the reason in the world for hope and for living differently!Series: The Living Hope of EasterTheme: How Shall We Now Live?Pastor: Steve MullerText: 1 Peter 1:13-25Content from Divine Savior Church in Doral, FL. Our mission: Changing Lives with Jesus As We Worship, Connect, and Servewww.divinesaviorchurch.comSupport the Show.

Pastor Ben Kuerth from Divine Savior Church Doral. Grief. Suffering. Hardship. Loss. These experiences can cause hopelessness. We need a deeper joy, a deeper hope to live for to make it through. Easter gives that to us. So does the fact that God was thinking about us since before creation! The God who chose us before time began isn’t going to let go of us now. The future we have to look forward to will make everything worth it. That gives us reason for joy. Our suffering isn’t meaningless – it focuses us ever more sharply on the inheritance waiting for us.Support the Show.

A message on Matthew 20:17-28 by Pastor Ben Keurth. The disciples wanted a Savior who was going to bring power and rule with authority. Since they were Jesus' loyal followers, they would of course have access to some special places next to Jesus where they would have some power as well. That's the Savior we want. A powerful one that will bring earthly power and influence. We want one that will be glorified here, rule here, and have power here on earth. The only problem? That's not the Savior we need. We need a Savior who would be a servant and give his life as a ransom for many.

A message on Matthew 4:1-11  by Pastor Caleb Schmiege. The woman at the well was lost. She was searching for something or someone to quench the thirst of her soul. She searched for so long that she was now lost. We know what its like to go searching for something to quench the desire of our hearts, but nothing ever does. Like this woman, we eventually get lost and we don't know where to look. The good news? We have a Savior who has been searching too. But he hasn't been seeking for someone or something to quench his thirst. Instead, he's been looking for me, the lost.

A message on Matthew 4:1-11by Pastor Ben Keurth. In any great story, there's always a villain, victims that he takes captive, and a hero. Every story depicts the hero physically conquering the villain in order to free the people. Sometimes that's what we think we need, isn't it? Wouldn't it be better if the devil wasn't around to tempt us and cause terror in our lives? Wouldn't it be great if Jesus destroyed the devil and put an end to the hurt and the fear? Surely that's what we need! Except when Jesus met the devil in the wilderness, that's not what happened. Instead, we see our Savior do something that we couldn't do: withstand temptation. We may want the devil dead, but what we need is perfection. That's exactly what we find in our Savior Jesus.

A message on  1 Timothy 6:6-19 by Pastor Ben Keurth. The love of money and what it can buy can be destructive, but the shrewd use of the resources God gives can bring immeasurable blessing. God wants us to be rich in good deeds and generous.If you would like to learn more about us or join us live for worship, find more here: Divine Savior Church Doral.Support the Show.

A message on Acts 2:42-47  by Pastor Caleb Schmiege. Motivated by Jesus’ life for them, the early believers naturally lived hospitable lives, sharing their possessions, meeting in their homes, showing what God looks like. And others took notice.If you would like to learn more about us or join us live for worship, find more here: Divine Savior Church Doral.Support the Show.

A message on Acts 9:36-42  by Pastor Steve Mueller. Dorcas demonstrates what a God-lived life looks like. She lived for others and the people saw God’s love in her. They showed the apostles the “robes and other clothing” she had made for them. What are your “robes and other clothing” —the ways that show you are living Jesus’ love?If you would like to learn more about us or join us live for worship, find more here: Divine Savior Church Doral.Support the Show.

A message by Pastor Ben Keurth. Support the Show.

We are always busy. We are always in a hurry. And since we are always in a hurry, we miss important things. We think our busyness and efficiency in getting to everything helps us experience more, but we actually experience less. We try to do it all and end up really doing nothing When we get too busy, we either dread things or rush to get done with them and check them off a list. We get bored with the familiar and threatened by the unfamiliar. Busyness makes us stop caring about the things we care about. But God wants us to “be still and know He is God.” To sit quietly at his feet. To taste and see what is really good. What would happen if we stopped and actually paid attention to God and to the world He created for us? The world is no richer for our passing through it. But we are far richer for not missing it.Support the Show.

A message by Pastor Caleb Schmiege. Most of us feel completely wiped out. Endless demands on our time crush us. Even our “vacations” are manic. If we only had more time! We have forgotten the ancient wisdom of Sabbath, rooted in God’s own rhythm of work and rest. Sabbath means rest. The gift of Sabbath (rest) is essential to our full humanity and faith. Since God knows how much we need Sabbath and how easily we might neglect it, He made it a command. We’ve neglected it anyhow. We’ve lost the rest of God. But nothing really changes until our minds do. God is more interested in changing your thinking than in changing your circumstances. Before we can keep the Sabbath, to be given rest, God has to change our minds. Our attitudes. Our hearts. The gift of God is to experience the sacred in the everyday.If you would like to learn more about us or join us live for worship, find more here: Divine Savior Church Doral.Support the Show.

A message by Pastor Ben Keurth. No one’s perfect. How many times have we regretted making a rude comment that hurt someone’s feelings? How many times did we think of our own selfish wants while trampling on someone else’s needs? Break a promise to our kid? Get caught doing something we shouldn’t do? Wouldn’t it be nice to get a second chance? We don’t live in a world where second chances or “do-overs” are too common. But we do have a God who offers us a “second chance.” His prophet Isaiah talked about the One coming who would give the whole world the ultimate second chance… a brand-new clean start! The perfect thing to ask for this Christmas!If you would like to learn more about us or join us live for worship, find more here: Divine Savior Church Doral.Support the Show.

A message on 1 Thessalonians 4:1-12, 5:23-24 by Pastor Caleb Schmiege. The Roman world was full of many temptations just like ours is today. Casual sex was a way of life for many. Finding a Christian spouse was difficult. Being lazy and freeloading off of others was commonplace. It wasn’t easy to live a sanctified life pleasing to the Lord. But that didn’t stop the Thessalonians from trying. More and more with God’s help, they learned what God’s will is and through the power of the Holy Spirit living in them, they found the strength to strive after holiness. With God’s help, we too strive to be more like Jesus in all that we do even when this sometimes looks so different from the rest of the world. But we know the Lord who calls us is faithful, and he will do it (1 Thess. 5:24).If you would like to learn more about us or join us live for worship, find more here: Divine Savior Church Doral.Support the Show.

A message on  1 Thessalonians 3:6-13, 5:10-11 by Pastor Ben Keurth. To be a Christian in Thessalonica was not easy. They faced persecution and many trials. But they endured because life was different now. They knew they didn’t face these challenges alone. They had the encouragement of their church family. This made them want to stand firm in the Lord as they looked for ways to love and support each other. So too in our world, it’s easy to feel isolated and alone. But when we support each other like family we know that God is at work strengthening us and causing our love for each other to overflow.If you would like to learn more about us or join us live for worship, find more here: Divine Savior Church Doral.Support the Show.

A message by Pastor Ben Keurth. When the Thessalonians first heard the gospel, they realized it was wonderfully different than any message they’d ever heard before. That’s why they received it as they did—not as the words of mere human beings, but as God’s Word—life changing and worth holding onto for dear life. We also want to take all of God’s truth seriously because even in our modern world it’s the Word of God that still makes all the difference.If you would like to learn more about us or join us live for worship, find more here: Divine Savior Church Doral.Support the Show.
