What happens when your family, your life, or your church gets out of alignment? In this message, Pastor Doug dives into 1 John 5 to explore how the Apostle John brought the early church back into agreement on who Jesus is and what it truly looks like to follow Him. Discover how to align your prayer life with God's heart, recognize the warning signs of spiritual drift, and hold onto the confident knowledge that you have eternal life in Jesus. Remember: any step you take towards Jesus is a step in the right direction.
This week, we step away from our normal sermon series for a special Summer Recap Sunday, celebrating the ways God has been at work through Temple Baptist Church throughout the summer. Pastor Doug invites members of the church to the stage to share stories and testimonies from this summer’s events, including Kids Camp, VBS, and other ministry experiences. From children demonstrating compassion in the middle of chaos, to generations of families serving and growing together, these stories point to God’s faithfulness at work in ordinary moments. But the heart of the morning is bigger than any individual event or testimony. It is an invitation to stop, celebrate, and give thanks for what God has done, what He is doing, and what He will continue to do. “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his faithful love endures forever.” — Psalm 107:1 As we look back on this summer, we are reminded that these aren't simply stories about events. They are stories of God at work in the lives of His people.

SUMMER Podcast 2026 // Episode 4: “Rooted for the Sake of the World” with Senior Pastor Rev. Dr. Doug Gilreath
“Put Out Into Deep Water”Luke 5:1-111 One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret,[a] the people were crowding around him and listening to the word of God. 2 He saw at the water's edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets. 3 He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat.4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.”5 Simon answered, “Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.”6 When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. 7 So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus' knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!” 9 For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, 10 and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon's partners.Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don't be afraid; from now on you will fish for people.” 11 So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him.CONNECT WITH USIf you have any questions or would like to get to know us further, head over to https://www.triumphlbc.org/connect and fill out our online connection card.ABOUT TRIUMPHTriumph wants to see the life and message of Jesus transform your heart, home, and city.
