Knowing Where to Walk
Knowing Where to Plant
Knowing What’s Ahead

Today's sermon explored the universal human pursuit of happiness and what God's Word reveals about where true happiness is actually found. Drawing from Psalm 1, we examined how the world searches for happiness in relationships, wealth, status, and circumstances, only to come up empty. God's Word makes clear that lasting happiness, described in the original language as a deep and multiplied blessing, is not found in our surroundings but in our relationship with God and our daily walk with His Word. The sermon challenged us to examine where we are walking, where we are planted, and what lies ahead for those who follow God's path versus those who reject it.

Takeaways:

Knowing where to Walk: The happy, blessed life begins with avoiding the influence of the wicked, the path of sinners, and the company of those who mock God. As believers, we are called to be transformed rather than conformed, pursuing integrity and Christlikeness in a world that often pulls us in the opposite direction.
Knowing where to Plant: Like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, the believer who meditates on God's Word day and night and puts it into practice will bear fruit, find strength in seasons of hardship, and experience a joy that is not dependent on circumstances. Our contentment is rooted not in what we have or do not have, but in our high calling as children of God.
Knowing what is Ahead: Psalm 1 ends with a sobering contrast. The righteous are known by God and sustained by Him, while those who reject His plan face judgment. This reminder calls us to share the hope we have with others and to live with eternity in view, grateful that God has made a way for every one of us to be the happy, happy man or woman He describes.

Be encouraged to open Psalm 1 again this week and read it slowly. Let it serve as a personal checklist for your walk with the Lord. Ask yourself where you are walking, who you are spending your time with, and how consistently you are feeding on God's Word. The road map to happiness is right there on the page, and it has been there for thousands of years.

A Blessed Nation
He Sees Us All
Fearing the Lord

Today's sermon explored Psalm 33 in light of America's founding and our current cultural moment. While America has never been a "Christian nation" in the strictest sense, our country was undeniably founded on Biblical principles by leaders who acknowledged God's providence and authority. From "In God We Trust" on our currency to the Declaration of Independence's recognition that we are "endowed by our Creator," God's influence on our foundation is undeniable. However, as we've drifted from these moorings—embracing moral relativism, political corruption, and rejecting God's standards—we face the same fate as empires before us. The sermon challenged us to remember that "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord" (Psalm 33:12) and that our only hope, both individually and collectively, is found in fearing the Lord and trusting in Jesus Christ.

Takeaways:

God sees everything and knows our hearts completely. We cannot hide our thoughts, motives, or actions from Him. He has given us both a conscience and His Word to guide us toward righteousness, and we will all stand before Him to give account.
Fearing the Lord is the foundation of blessing. True fear of God means both reverence and a healthy dread of standing before Him in our sin. When we genuinely fear God, we don't need to fear anything else because we are secure in His love and forgiveness through Christ.

America's hope—and ours—rests solely in Jesus Christ. No nation can survive when it rejects God's truth and embraces sin. Our only path forward, individually and as a country, is repentance and returning to the Lord who offers forgiveness as a free gift through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross.

As we reflect on our nation's history and future, let us commit to being people who honor God in every area of our lives, who fear Him appropriately, and who share the hope of the Gospel with those around us.

Watch and listen as Pastor Steve Wilburn gives a special message to encourage the body of Christ to hear and answer the call that God has placed on each our lives: to share the Gospel message! Be encouraged as we prepare for the upcoming Harvest Crusade at Anaheim Stadium on Saturday, July 11, at 7pm.

A Listening Ear
A Broken Heart
A Giving Spirit

Today's sermon explored the life of Mary, sister of Martha and Lazarus, through three encounters with Jesus found in Luke 10 and John 11-12. Her story reveals what it means to truly serve God—not through frantic activity, but through worship, surrender, and costly devotion. Mary teaches us that the best place to be is always at Jesus' feet, whether we're learning from Him, grieving with Him, or offering Him our most precious gifts. Her example challenges us to examine where we're placing our priorities and what we're willing to sacrifice for the One who gave everything for us.

Takeaways:

A Listening Ear: Like Mary, we need to choose the "good part" by sitting at Jesus' feet and listening to His Word, even when life's demands pull us in every direction. Martha was distracted and overwhelmed, but Mary chose presence over productivity. God promises us peace when we remain steadfast in Him (Isaiah 26:3).
A Broken Heart: Jesus doesn't delay because He doesn't care—He delays because He has a greater plan. When Lazarus died, Mary fell at Jesus' feet in her grief, and Jesus wept with her. God's love for us is "Agape"—unconditional and unwavering, even when we don't understand His timing or His ways.
A Giving Spirit: Mary's costly gift of perfume worth a year's wages demonstrated true worship. She gave what was most precious to her because she understood who Jesus was and what He came to do. That which truly counts is always that which costs us something.

As we move forward this week, let's ask ourselves: Are we sitting at Jesus' feet regularly? Are we trusting His plan even in our pain? And what are we willing to give Him that actually costs us something?

To all the mothers reading this—thank you for your unwavering service, your sacrificial love, and your willingness to never give up. You reflect the heart of Christ in powerful ways.

Sitting and Waiting
Asking for a Drink
Seeing a Change

Today's sermon explored how Jesus intentionally planned a meeting with a broken, rejected woman whom society had cast aside. Despite being weary from His journey, Jesus waited at Jacob's well at noon to meet someone who desperately needed His love and grace. This passage reminds us that no one is beyond God's reach, no heart is too broken for Him to mend, and no past is too damaged for Him to redeem. Jesus offers us "living water"—eternal satisfaction that the world cannot provide—and He seeks us out even when we feel unworthy of His attention.

Takeaways:

God orchestrates divine appointments in our lives. Just as Jesus "had to pass through Samaria," He intentionally pursues each of us, regardless of our past failures or current circumstances. Your brokenness doesn't disqualify you from His love.
Only Jesus can satisfy the deepest thirst of our souls. We often look for fulfillment in relationships, possessions, success, or popularity, but these leave us empty. Jesus is the fountain of living water who offers lasting satisfaction when we surrender to Him in spirit and truth.
Genuine transformation leads to testimony. The Samaritan woman immediately left her water pot and shared her encounter with Jesus. When we truly meet Christ, we can't help but tell others: "Come and see!" Our changed lives become powerful witnesses to His grace.

As you go through this week, let us be encouraged to reflect on our own "divine appointments." Where is Jesus meeting you? What areas of thirst in your life need His living water? And who in your circle needs to hear about the hope you've found in Christ?

May you experience afresh the joy of knowing that the God of the universe knows everything about you and loves you completely.

Shaken With Fear
Nothing to Fear
Go With Purpose

Today's sermon explored the resurrection of Jesus Christ as the greatest gift of all time, examining Matthew 28 and the events surrounding that first Easter morning. We discovered how God's plan of redemption, spoken from Genesis through the prophets, culminated in Jesus conquering sin and death. The empty tomb stands as the defining moment that separates Christianity from every other religion and fills our lives with purpose, hope, and freedom from fear. This gift has profound implications for our spiritual life—transforming us from fearful, purposeless people into forgiven disciples with a mission to share the Good News with a broken world.

Takeaways:

The resurrection is historically verified and undeniable. Jesus was publicly executed, buried in a guarded tomb with a Roman seal, yet His body vanished and He appeared to over 500 witnesses. His disciples, who initially fled in fear, were so transformed by seeing Him alive that they died for their faith in Him.
We no longer need to fear death or hide from our past. Because Jesus rose from the dead, He crushed the power of sin and death. The empty tomb proves that forgiveness is available to all who repent and believe, filling the void in our souls that only our Creator can satisfy.
Every believer is called to "Go with Purpose." Jesus gave us the Great Commission to make disciples of all nations. Our purpose is not just to pray, but to know God personally, worship Him, and serve as vessels of honor—sharing His truth with every person whose soul is empty.

As we move forward from this Easter celebration, let us remember that we serve a living Savior. The tomb is empty. Death has lost its sting. And we have been given the incredible privilege of sharing this life-changing message with a world desperate for hope.

May the reality of the resurrection fill your heart with great joy this week.

Good Friday service at Core Church Los Angeles. Watch and listen as Pastor Steve teaches through the word of God, as we remember the sacrifice of our Lord.

He Wept
He Was Passionate
He Gave a Warning

Today's sermon explored the events of Palm Sunday through Luke 19, examining how Jesus fulfilled ancient prophecy by riding into Jerusalem on a donkey. We witnessed three powerful aspects of Christ's character that day: His compassion as He wept over Jerusalem, His passion as He cleansed the temple, and His warning about the cost of rejecting Him. This memorable event calls us to examine our own response to Jesus—are we truly following Him wholeheartedly, or are we among those who praise Him one moment but turn away the next? The implications for our spiritual life are clear: Jesus went all in for us through His sacrifice, and He calls us to go all in for Him.

Takeaways:

Jesus offers love, hope, and liberty in a broken world. Even when circumstances around us are unstable and discouraging, Christ remains our source of peace and restoration, inviting all who feel lost to come to Him for forgiveness and renewal.
We must recognize the time of our visitation. Jerusalem missed their moment when the Messiah came. Today, we must not be blind to God's work in our lives or reject His truth because it conflicts with cultural preferences or personal comfort.
Halfhearted commitment is not an option. Jesus said, "He who is not with Me is against Me." We cannot remain neutral or uncommitted—either we are gathering with Christ and following His Word fully, or we are working against His purpose.

As we move toward Good Friday and Easter, let us not be fickle like the crowds who shouted "Hosanna" on Sunday and "Crucify Him" by Friday. Instead, may we respond to Christ's total commitment to us with our own wholehearted devotion to Him.

Let's join together this Friday from 12:00-1:00 PM for our Good Friday service, where we will take an in-depth look at Jesus' death on the cross and share communion together.

When Life Is Hard
Prepare to Be Used
Be Ready to Move

Today's sermon explored how the ancient struggles Joel faced with locust plagues mirror our modern battles with worldly distractions, personal sin, and spiritual warfare. Just as Joel called God's people to return wholeheartedly to the Lord, we are being called today to wake up, prepare ourselves to be used by God, and be ready to move in obedience. The message emphasized that we live in the most strategic time in history, positioned in a generation where multitudes stand in the valley of decision, and God desires to pour out His Spirit on all who will surrender to His purposes.

Takeaways:

When Life is Hard, Remember Your Purpose: The gnawing, creeping, and stripping locusts represent the cares of this world, unchecked personal sin, and the enemy's attempts to destroy us. Yet God promises to restore the years the locusts have eaten when we fully return to Him with our whole hearts.
Prepare to be Used by Rending Your Heart: True preparation for God's work begins with tearing open our hearts before Him, retreating back to our starting point with fasting, weeping, and genuine repentance. We cannot bore the Christian life with our lack of desire to fully serve the Lord—He calls us to be holy men and women proclaiming salvation to a dying world.
Be Ready to Move in the Power of the Holy Spirit: God hasn't called us to serve in the power of our own weakness but promises that His power is made perfect in our weakness. Whether through Palm Sunday, Good Friday, or Easter Sunday outreach, now is the time to invest in eternal souls, pointing others to Jesus who alone can bring hope in the midst of chaos.

As we approach this Easter season, let's ask ourselves: Will we pray? Will we be available to share the hope of Jesus with those around us? Our mission field is only 36 inches away. Let's not squander the greatest message of all humanity by keeping silent when multitudes stand in the valley of decision.

Change My Speech
Change My Wisdom
Change My Spirit

Today's sermon explored how true change happens not through external makeovers, but through allowing the Holy Spirit to transform our speech, wisdom, and spirit. Using 1 Corinthians 2 as our foundation, we examined the Apostle Paul's radical transformation from a prideful Pharisee named Saul to a humble servant who called himself "the little one." Paul's example shows us that lasting change comes when we surrender our own superiority and embrace God's power working through our weakness. The message called us to examine whether we're willing to let God change us at our core as we move into this new year.

Takeaways:

Change My Speech: Paul didn't come with superior words to impress people, but simply preached "Jesus Christ and Him crucified." This year, let's ask God to change how we speak—making our words point to Jesus rather than ourselves, and ensuring our faith rests on God's power, not human wisdom.
Change My Wisdom: The world's wisdom has led us away from God's truth. We must choose to embrace Biblical wisdom over cultural trends, social media influences, or popular opinions. God's Word is our unchanging source of truth in an ever-changing world.
Change My Spirit: As believers, we have received the Spirit of God who reveals spiritual truths we couldn't understand on our own. Let's ask God to awaken our spirits this year so we can truly know Him, hear His voice, and see what He wants us to see.

This new year is an invitation to allow God to work deeply in our lives. Whatever happened last year is done—we cannot change it. But we can change what this year looks like by surrendering to the Holy Spirit's transforming work today.

The Believer's Delight
The Believer's Steps
The Believer's Heart

Today's sermon explored the tension we all feel when we see the wicked prosper while we strive to live righteously. Through Psalm 37, written by David in his old age, we discovered that true satisfaction doesn't come from our hobbies, careers, or possessions, but from delighting ourselves in the Lord. When we find our joy in serving Him and put His will above our own desires, God promises to give us the desires of our hearts. This isn't about getting everything we want, but about our hearts becoming aligned with His will. The implications for our spiritual life are profound: as we mature in Christ and serve with pure hearts, our desires transform to match God's desires, and He faithfully provides for and sustains us through every season.

Takeaways:

Do not fret over evildoers who seem to prosper. God sees everything, keeps perfect accounts, and will judge righteously in His timing. Our focus should be on trusting Him rather than becoming angry or envious of those who live wickedly.
Delight yourself in the Lord by finding your satisfaction in serving Him and others. When we commit our ways to Him and trust fully in His plans, He establishes our steps and promises to never let go of our hand, even when we stumble.
Better is the little of the righteous than the abundance of the wicked. The Lord sustains, supports, and holds up those who follow Him. His inheritance for us is eternal, and He has never forsaken the righteous or left their children begging for bread.

Let us all be encouraged to reflect this week on where we truly find our delight. Are we serving the Lord with joy, or are we consumed by what others have? Remember, God's Word in our hearts keeps our steps from slipping, and His faithfulness endures forever.

A Savior Was Born
A Message of Good News
A Treasured Moment

May this message finds you blessed and filled with the joy of Christmas. Let us take a moment to reflect on the powerful truths we explored together on Christmas Eve.

Today's sermon explored the true meaning of Christmas in a world that Charles Dickens aptly described as "the best of times and the worst of times." While we live in an age of technological advancement and convenience, we also face increasing challenges—crime, fraud, and a culture consumed by busyness. Yet Christmas remains the greatest holiday in human history, not because of lights, decorations, or gifts from stores, but because of one Person: Jesus Christ. We cannot have Christmas without Christ. He is the reason for the season, the source of true peace, hope, and joy. Through examining Luke 2, we discovered that 2,000 years ago, a Savior was born—not just a baby, but Immanuel, God with us—who came to deliver humanity from sin and separation from God.

Takeaways:

A Savior Was Born for All People: Jesus wasn't just another baby born in Bethlehem. He was the fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy—the Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace wrapped in human flesh. The infinite, eternal God entered our world through natural birth to look at us with human eyes, touch us with human hands, and fully understand our pain.
Good News of Great Joy: The angels proclaimed a message that still echoes today—there is hope for ruined humanity. We cannot save ourselves through good works or personal effort. Jesus came as the only Savior, the Deliverer who is God, offering forgiveness and freedom from everything that weighs us down. True peace comes not from what we buy or achieve, but from glorifying God and receiving His gift.
Treasure This Moment: Like Mary, who pondered and treasured these things in her heart, we must not lose sight of the real Christmas. The manger and the cross are inseparable—Jesus was born to die for us. His birth at Bethlehem points directly to His sacrifice at Golgotha. This Christmas, let us embrace God's greatest gift and make room in our busy lives for Jesus.

As we celebrate this season, may we rediscover that Christmas truly means "a little bit more" than what comes from a store. The Creator became a baby in a stable so that thirty years later He could hang on a cross for you and me. That is the greatest gift ever given.

Merry Christmas and may God's peace fill your heart!

A Promise Fulfilled
A Promise With No End
A Promise With Power

Today's sermon explored God's faithfulness through the Christmas story, focusing on the promises surrounding Jesus' birth as recorded in Luke 1. We examined how God fulfilled His ancient promise of a Savior through Mary, a young virgin from Nazareth. The message reminded us that unlike human promises that are easily broken, God's Word is completely trustworthy. When God speaks a promise, it will surely come to pass. The angel Gabriel's announcement to Mary wasn't just about one miraculous birth—it was the fulfillment of a promise dating back to Genesis 3, and it points forward to an eternal kingdom that will never end.

Takeaways:

God keeps His promises: From the Garden of Eden to the manger in Bethlehem, God fulfilled His word to send a Savior. We can trust that His promises to us are equally certain.
Nothing is impossible with God: When Mary asked how the virgin birth could happen, the angel declared that nothing is impossible with God. Whatever overwhelming circumstances we face, God's power is sufficient.
Faith moves God's heart: Mary's response—"be it done to me according to Your word"—demonstrated the kind of faith that pleases God. We're called to believe God's promises even when we don't understand how they'll be fulfilled.

This Christmas, may we allow God's promises to shine on our problems and remember that Jesus is the ultimate gift—the reason for true peace, hope, and joy.

Pointing at Others
Looking Within
Looking Ahead

Today's sermon explored how America has largely become "the Grinch who stole Christmas" by reducing this sacred season to mere "happy holidays" or retail opportunities. While many struggle during this time—due to division, loss, broken relationships, or loneliness—the root cause of their emptiness is often the absence of Christ Himself. Through the prophet Isaiah's journey from pointing fingers at others to falling prostrate before God's holiness, we discovered that true Christmas joy comes only when we humble ourselves and recognize Jesus as the promised Messiah—Immanuel, God with us. Isaiah's prophecies, written 750 years before Christ's birth, remind us that this baby born in obscurity is actually the Mighty God, Wonderful Counselor, and Prince of Peace who came to heal our fractured hearts and give us lasting peace.

Takeaways:

Stop pointing, start looking within: Like Isaiah, we may be quick to judge the world's brokenness, but true transformation begins when we say "Woe is me" and acknowledge our own need for God's grace and forgiveness.
Jesus is the reason and the answer: No gift under a tree, no amount of spending, and no political solution can provide the sustained joy, lasting peace, and true meaning that only a relationship with Jesus Christ can offer.
Share the greatest gift: The best present anyone can receive this Christmas is the gift of salvation through Jesus—born in a manger, died on a cross, risen in victory—so that all who believe can have peace with God.

As you navigate these final days before Christmas, I encourage you to extend kindness to those you encounter, remember that a little compassion goes a long way, and most importantly, share the hope of Christ with someone who needs to hear that God is with us.

May you experience the true peace of Immanuel this season.

His Rebellion
His Affliction
His Mission

Today's sermon explored the life of Jonah and the consequences of running from God's calling. Through Jonah's journey—from his rebellion and flight to Tarshish, through his affliction in the belly of the fish, to his eventual mission in Nineveh—we saw how sin always costs us more than we want to pay and takes us farther than we want to go. Yet we also witnessed God's incredible mercy, not only toward the wicked people of Nineveh, but also toward His rebellious servant. This message challenges us to examine our own lives: Are we sleeping while storms rage around us? Are we running from God's clear calling? And do we care more about our own comfort than the eternal destiny of lost souls?

Takeaways:

God's call is clear and direct, but obedience is our choice. Just as God told Jonah to "Arise, go to Nineveh," He has called each of us with a higher purpose. We must ask ourselves: Who has chartered our course? Are we sailing toward God's priorities or our own?
Running from God always leads downward, and sin will cost us. Jonah paid the fare, went down into the ship, and descended into the belly of the fish. When we rebel against God's calling, we always go down—spiritually, emotionally, and relationally. The good news is that God's mercies are new every morning, and He is the God of second chances.
Our concern for souls should outweigh our concern for comfort. Jonah cared more about a plant that gave him shade than 120,000 people who escaped eternal judgment. We must examine our hearts: Do we have urgency to reach the lost and lonely with the message of hope, or are we more focused on our own convenience and comfort?

As we move forward this week, let's commit to listening to God's voice, responding to His calling with urgency, and extending His love and mercy to those around us who desperately need to hear the Gospel.

Crying for Mercy
Thanking the Lord
Jesus Wondered

Today's sermon explored the story of the ten lepers in Luke 17:11-19, where Jesus healed all ten men, but only one—a Samaritan—returned to give thanks. This account challenges us to examine our own prayer lives: Do we spend more time asking God for what we don't have, or thanking Him for what we do have? The message traced Thanksgiving's history from the Pilgrims in 1621 through presidential proclamations, reminding us that this holiday was established as a day to acknowledge "with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God." Just as the nine lepers forgot to return with thanksgiving, we too can easily forget to praise God for His daily blessings—our breath, our heartbeat, our food, our forgiveness, and most importantly, our salvation from the disease of sin.

Takeaways:

Cry out for mercy with faith: The lepers had to step out in faith before they saw their healing. God often asks us to move in obedience before we see the results. What has God been asking you to do that requires a step of faith?
Return with a thankful heart: Only one out of ten returned to thank Jesus. This Thanksgiving, let's not be among the nine who forgot. Take time to fall on your face before God—not with a laundry list of requests, but with genuine thanksgiving for His countless blessings we take for granted daily.
Remember what the holidays truly mean: Thanksgiving celebrates God's provision; Christmas celebrates the Savior who delivered us from sin. These aren't just days off work—they're reminders of the hope God has given humanity. Share this hope with others and invite them to our Christmas Eve service.

This week, I challenge you to spend more time thanking God than asking Him for things. Make a list of blessings you've overlooked. Remember that God can "make up for the years the locusts have eaten" (Joel 2:25)—He specializes in restoration and redemption.

Let the redeemed of the Lord say so! Rise up and go, sharing the greatest gift of all time: Hope in Jesus Christ.

Searching for Love
Judging Correctly
Finding Mercy

Today's sermon, "Longing for Love," explored Luke 7:36-49, contrasting the attitudes of Simon the Pharisee and the sinful woman who anointed Jesus' feet. This passage reminds us that we all have a God-shaped void in our hearts that only Jesus can fill. The sermon highlighted how true satisfaction comes not from worldly success or religious pride, but from humbly seeking God's forgiveness and love.

Takeaways:

God knows everything about us, including our hidden thoughts and past, yet He still offers us forgiveness and love.
We should be careful not to judge others harshly, as we all are in need of God's mercy and grace.
True repentance and humility before God lead to freedom, forgiveness, and a transformed life.

As we go through this week, let's remember that no matter our past or current struggles, Jesus invites us to come to Him. He offers forgiveness, love, and a new beginning to all who approach Him with sincere hearts.

May we be like the woman in the story - willing to humble ourselves before Jesus and receive His transforming love.

Called by God’s Will
Called for God’s Purpose
Called in God’s Grace

Today's sermon introduced us to the book of Ephesians, aptly called "The Believer's Bank" or "The Christian's Checkbook." We explored the concept of true riches in Christ, contrasting it with worldly wealth. Pastor Steve emphasized that as believers, we have access to unfathomable spiritual riches through our relationship with Jesus Christ. This truth has profound implications for how we view our identity, purpose, and daily walk with God.

Takeaways:

We are called by God's will: Just as Paul was called as an apostle, we too are called to be ambassadors for Christ in our everyday lives.
We are called for God's purpose: As saints in Christ, we are set apart to encourage others, bear one another's burdens, and minister the Gospel in our spheres of influence.
We are called in God's grace: Our standing before God is not based on our good deeds but on His unmerited favor, which gives us hope and peace in all circumstances.

As we continue this series, let's be encouraged to dive deep into the book of Ephesians. Let's challenge ourselves to fully grasp and live out the spiritual wealth we have in Christ. Remember, no matter what storms we face, if Jesus is in our boat, we will not sink!

May God's grace and peace be with you all.

Carrying Other's Burdens
Reaping What We Sow
Boasting in the Cross

Today's sermon explored Galatians 6, focusing on the Christian call to bear one another's burdens. Pastor Steve emphasized our responsibility as believers to support each other, especially when someone falls into sin. The message highlighted the importance of living out our faith actively, sowing good deeds, and boasting only in the cross of Christ. This sermon challenges us to examine our lives and consider how we can better serve our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Takeaways:

We are called to gently restore those who have fallen into sin, always remembering our own vulnerability to temptation.
Our actions have consequences - what we sow, we will reap. This applies to both positive and negative behaviors in our lives.
As Christians, our only boast should be in the cross of Christ, not in our own accomplishments or in following religious rituals.

As we move forward this week, let's prayerfully consider how we can put these teachings into practice. How can we better support those around us who are struggling? In what areas of our lives do we need to be more mindful of what we're sowing? And how can we ensure that Christ remains at the center of all we do?

May God's peace and mercy be upon you as you walk in faith this week.

Delivered From Fear
Desiring Long Life
Redeeming Our Souls

This week's sermon delved into Psalm 34, exploring the theme of "Being Delivered." Pastor Steve shared personal experiences and biblical insights on how God delivers us from fear, grants us long life, and redeems our souls. The message emphasized the transformative power of seeking God in times of trouble and the importance of living a life that honors Him.

Takeaways:

God delivers us from all our fears when we earnestly seek Him. Our only true fear should be a reverent fear of the Lord.
Desiring a long, good life comes from living with integrity, seeking peace, and pursuing righteousness as outlined in God's Word.
The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. He delivers the righteous from all their afflictions.

As we go through this week, let's remember that no matter what challenges we face, God is always ready to deliver us when we cry out to Him. Let's strive to live lives that reflect our trust in Him and His goodness.

May God's peace be with you all.

Those Who Deny God
Those Who Deny God Sees
Those Who Deny God's Judgement

Today's sermon, "When Times Are Difficult," based on Psalm 10, offered a powerful reminder of God's presence and sovereignty in our challenging world. As we navigate the complexities of modern life, it's crucial to ground ourselves in biblical truth and understanding.

Today's sermon explored the reality of evil in our world, the tendency of some to deny God's existence or involvement, and our response as believers. It emphasized that despite the difficulties we face, God is ever-present, all-seeing, and ultimately just. We are encouraged to stand firm in our faith, be voices of reason in a chaotic world, and trust in God's ultimate plan, even when we don't understand it.

Takeaways:

We live in a fallen world where evil is prevalent, but as believers, we're called to be light in the darkness, just as exemplified by the life of Charlie Kirk, and more importantly, by Jesus Christ.
Those who deny God's existence, presence, or judgment are described in Scripture as foolish. We must compassionately engage with our culture while standing firm in biblical truth.
God sees everything, even when it seems He's distant. We can trust in His justice and timing, even when we don't understand His ways.

As we reflect on this message, let's consider how we can be beacons of hope and truth in our daily lives. How can we engage with those around us, showing God's love while standing firm in His truth? Let's pray for wisdom and courage to be faithful witnesses in these challenging times.

May God bless you and keep you strong in faith this week.

The Test of Desires
The Fruit of the Spirit
The Christian's Walk

Today's sermon, "Walking Right," explored Galatians 5:16-24, emphasizing the importance of our spiritual walk as Christians. Pastor Steve highlighted the contrast between walking by the Spirit and fulfilling the desires of the flesh. The message underscored how our spiritual growth directly impacts our daily lives, encouraging us to align our conduct with Christ's teachings and to cultivate the fruit of the Spirit.

Takeaways:

We are called to "walk by the Spirit" (Gal. 5:16), which means living in a way that reflects God's desires for us rather than our fleshly impulses.
The fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control) should be evident in our lives as we grow in Christ.
Our choices in relationships and daily activities significantly impact our spiritual walk. We should seek to surround ourselves with influences that draw us closer to God.

As we reflect on this message, let's consider how we can more intentionally walk by the Spirit in our daily lives. Are there areas where we need to "crucify the flesh with its passions and desires" (Gal. 5:24)? How can we better cultivate the fruit of the Spirit in our interactions with others?

May God bless you and guide you as you continue to grow in your faith journey.

Walking in Freedom
Walking With Hope
Walking in Love

Today's sermon explored the concept of "walking" in our Christian life, focusing on three key aspects: walking in freedom, walking with hope, and walking in love. Pastor Steve emphasized the importance of living a life that's pleasing to God, especially in the midst of a secular world. He reminded us that true revival starts in the hearts of individual believers and that our daily walk with God can be part of something much bigger than ourselves.

Takeaways:

-Freedom in Christ is meant to liberate us from the bondage of sin and legalism. We're called to stand firm in this freedom and not return to a "yoke of slavery."

-Our hope as believers is grounded in God's grace, not in our own works or ability to keep the law. This gives us a confident expectation of eternal life.

-Love should be the driving force in our relationships with God and others. By loving our neighbors as ourselves, we fulfill the whole law.

As we go about our week, let's remember that our walk with God is not just about personal piety, but about being a light in our city and generation. We have the opportunity to be part of a revival that starts with our own renewed commitment to Christ.

May we all continue to walk in freedom, hope, and love, serving one another and reflecting Christ's light in Los Angeles and beyond.

Choosing the Right Son
Counting the Options
Embracing the Promise

Our sermon, "A Promise Kept," delved into Galatians 4:21-31, exploring the profound difference between living under the law and living by God's promise through faith. Pastor Steve highlighted how Abraham's story illustrates the contrast between human impatience (resulting in Ishmael) and trusting God's timing (resulting in Isaac). This message reminds us that our salvation and relationship with God are based on His promise and our faith, not on our works or attempts to earn His favor.

Takeaways:

-God's promises are trustworthy, even when circumstances seem impossible. Just as Abraham and Sarah received their promised son in old age, we too can trust God's timing in our lives.

-We are called to live by faith, not by trying to earn our salvation through works. Our justification comes through believing in Jesus Christ, not by following the law.

-As believers, we are "children of promise" like Isaac. This means we have been grafted into God's family through Christ, regardless of our background.

As we go through this week, let's reflect on areas where we might be trying to "earn" God's favor instead of resting in His promises. Are there "Ishmaels" in our lives - things born out of impatience or lack of trust - that we need to surrender to God?

May we all grow in our faith and trust in God's perfect timing and promises.
