Each one of us started out as broken.  We were much like the axe head illustrated in Pastor Lawrence’s sermon through 2 Kings 6 this past Sunday, headed for the bottom of the river and lost forever.  But like the axe head in the passage, there is a cure for our brokenness.  But the freedom…

Pastor Harry pointed out how God cares for us while also highlighting several admonitions contained in 1 Peter 5 this past Sunday, one of which was from verse 5 (ESV), Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Here are some tips…

Spiritual growth can be stunted by living in a busy, worldly comfort zone.  In Pastor Lauren’s sermon this past Sunday, we were shown through Scripture how God had done great things through His servant Elijah.  But after all of the hullaballoo, Jezebel threatened to kill Elijah so he ran to the wilderness, hiding under a…

En el mensaje del pastor Alberto Alcacio el pasado domingo pudimos escuchar los retos para los cristianos de esa época y reflexionar sobre nuestros retos hoy. Lo primero que debemos considerar es cómo dieron su vida, hasta el punto de la muerte. Ante esto, el pastor Alberto nos pregunta “¿Usted daría la vida por una…

“Hosanna” was this week’s name in the ongoing series Above Every Name. Pastor Mark reminded us of the events of Palm Sunday as Jesus and his followers approached Jerusalem, he instructed his disciples to obtain a donkey and a colt. This act was to fulfill Messianic prophecy from over 900 years prior. (Zechariah 9:9) “Rejoice…

This past Sunday, Pastor Andriel challenged us to live in eternity, which for Christ-followers means in the present.  While we tend to focus on our aches, wants, and needs in this temporary body in which we live, our focus should be on being ready for Christ’s return.  We should be living in eternity in our…

On a recent Sunday, after service, one of our faithful members who happens to be a retired pastor, and I were chatting in the Town Hall. I told him that I was so glad to see him and I had missed seeing him the past couple of Sundays. He said, “man, I’m here every chance…

In last Sunday’s sermon, I explored the profound reality of God as the Holy One—a theme that echoes from the Old Testament to the New Testament. God repeatedly calls His people to holiness, reflecting His own nature. This call is not just an expectation but should define the lives of those who follow Him. God, the…
