Desert Oasis Chapel is open and affirming. We're a non-denominational Christian church that affirms the gay, lesbia, bisexual and transgendered community as we join together in worship, prayer, and searching for God's place in and purpose for your life. We proclaim the Lordship of Jesus Christ, the authority of Holy Scripture on all matters of faith and personal practice and the complete equality of all persons in the eyes of God. You are always welcome and if you have guests in from out of town, invite them to join you.

A lot of men and women are sharing that their return to church and to Christian worship is more uplifting and positive than they had imagined. "The Oasis" is a great place to meet good people and to get support and encouragement. The service, with Mark playing it sweet it at the piano, begins at 10:00 a.m. at Wiefel's Chapel, 690 South Vella Road in Palm Springs. Whether you're a long-time believer, new in your faith or still seeking, we welcome you. Visit our website, desertoasischapel.com for more information and a map. God's word says that God is calling out to you in love, asking but not forcing you to respond. If you've been hurt by the church in your past, come back and look again, the story of Jesus' life, death and resurrection is truly the greatest love story of all time.

Plan to stay after the service for a time to gather and talk, share, get acquainted right at the same location in the Hospitality Center. Set aside a few extra minutes for this Fellowship time, it really is a great way to meet good people in a town where that can be difficult.

This Week's Message

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.”

Matthew 7:1-5

"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."

Luke 6:37-38


You know, this relationship with Jesus is starting to cramp my style. First off, I’m told to deal with my own hurt and resentment and see if I’ve done anything to offend the other guy. Then I’m told to let go of anger and not hold on to it, particularly not act on it destructively. Then I’m told not to rage or let my emotions take control of me. Now this one is over the top, I’m not supposed to judge other people! Not judge? How can I not judge, seeing all the stuff people do and how they are?
