An Open Door by Pastor Steve Dow on Sunday, June 14, 2026

Stop Running from Your Divine Appointments Are you tired of trying to navigate life using your own intellect, power, and limited strength? It is easy to look backward at missed opportunities and assume God has passed you by. But the gifts and callings of God are without repentance. In this message, Pastor Steve Dow walks verse-by-verse through Jesus's letter to the church of Philadelphia in Revelation 3, proving that God specializes in using normal people who feel completely overwhelmed. Through the wild 10,000-mile journey of the Hoka Hay motorcycle race, the impossible military victory of Gideon, and the ultimate vindication of Joseph, this teaching will challenge you to retrace your steps, ditch your personal comfort zone, and boldly step through the doors God has set before you. Key Takeaways From the Message: -- Jesus holds the ultimate key of authority, and when He opens a path for your life, absolutely no one can close it. -- Operating under kingdom authority requires deep humility and complete submission, not loud-mouthed self-promotion. -- Having "little strength" is actually an asset, because it forces you to rely entirely on God's unlimited power rather than your own qualifications. -- What others intend for evil and destruction in your life, God actively turns around and uses for your ultimate good and His glory. -- Holding fast to your crown means refusing to throw away your confidence when you are on the brink of giving up.
