Pastor Chris Mendez

Pastor Phil Mion
"How we wait in this season determines how we walk in the next." This week Pastor Phil dives into how waiting on God might be frustrating, but at the same time transforming. Are we waiting in faith, or are we giving up because we think God is silent? God is always on the move!
Pastor Alex Sagot
Much like a garden needs water, sun, shade, soil and working together for it to flourish, so do our lives. We are part of something much bigger than ourselves and it's only when we are connected that we can see the full potential of God's desires for us. Today Pastor Alex shares around John 15 when Jesus says "I am the true vine". A vineyard garden is intertwined and intricate and when working well together, it produces real good fruit and our lives will produce much good fruit when we understand we are stronger together.
Pastor Phil Mion
Has it ever felt like you are alone? No one is there for you? Even God himself seems distant? We've all been there. There have been days and seasons where loneliness comes in and we can't seem to hear from God, see God, or sense God. Today Pastor Phil encourages us around Psalm 13 as we see how David also felt this at times, but we will always see God is always present.
Pastor Alex Sagot
Have you ever had something disconnect? Immediately it loses it's power, signal, or strength. If we want a stronger life, then we have to realize it comes from the lives that are connected to us and around us. Today Ps Alex shares around Ephesians 4 and how we should strive to be one body. There will be differences, disagreements and more, but the more we strive to stay united, the stronger we will be. Stronger Together
Ps. Mike Gonzalez
Have you ever lost confidence? Maybe we've misplaced it, which means we have placed it on the wrong thing. Have you placed your confidence on things of this world? Today Ps Mike Gonzalez helps us understand where to put our confidence and as we do we realize we gain clarity and so much more.
Pastor Alex Sagot
Has life ever seemed bigger, scarier and more horrible than what it actually is? Fear and anxiety can cause us to feel like we can't handle whats before us or ahead of us. Pastor Alex shares around fear and anxiety and how these can become chronic and stop us from walking in all God has for us. That is we can adjust our view, we can receive the peace God has for us.
Pastor Alex Sagot
Have you ever failed? and then felt guilty? We all fail often and guilt can come and hold us captive. Being held captive in our thoughts and emotions for long periods of time can cause a change in our mental health. If you've ever felt like punishing yourself for a past mistake, failure, or unmet and unrealistic expectation then you need to understand, it's already settled.
Pastor Alex Sagot
Our world is constantly talking about physical health and nutrition but how often do we stop to invest in our mental health? The mind is a powerful tool and the healthier our mind, the healthier our life. Our thoughts play a big role in our mental health, especially insecurities. What are some of yours? We all have them and struggle. Pastor Alex shares how we can change our life, if we change our thinking.
Pastor Diana Sagot
Have you ever thought that perhaps you can't do it all on your own? Many times life can make us feel like we can, but sooner or later we will see that life is limited, and not everything is what it seems. Today Pastor Diana shares a message out the book of Daniel on Pride. Where we learn that our days are numbered, quality is better than quantity, and many times acting now is better than later.
Pastor Alex Sagot
Ever NOT wanted to stand? It happens often. Sometimes, it can be easier to sit down than to stand. Today, we learn from Daniel Chapter 3 that Standing can bring a test of fire in our lives, but when we do it is there that our faith get's stronger. Pastor Alex shares a message today encouraging us all to persevere even when we're in the fire.
Pastor Alex Sagot
The first Easter was celebrated in a house when Jesus showed up after Resurrection! In today's message, Pastor Alex shares around how Jesus was, and still is the Miracle worker.

Pastor Alex Sagot
The heart of the human problem, is the problem of the human heart. What can we do? This Good Friday, Pastor Alex shares with us that if we want a cure to the problem, we have to look at the cross full of promise. Watch this Good Friday's message as we pray it helps you!
Pastor Alex Sagot

Pastor Diana Sagot

Pastor Alex Sagot
So many times in life the things around can affect the faith inside us. These situations can rob our joy, peace, hope ultimately our faith.

In this story another miracle takes place and we learn how having a clear vision results in a strong faith.
Pastor Alex Sagot

Pastors Alex and Diana Sagot
Love and relationships seem complicated, but they don’t have to be! Pastors Alex and Diana answer your questions on dating, sex, divorce — we covered it all!

We kicked off our new series focusing on ourselves first! Pastors Alex and Diana encouraged us to work on ourselves, no matter our relationship status. We can't just WAIT for the "right" person, we need to "BE" the right person.
Pastor Phil Mion
We are sometimes faced with incredible tasks in life. Tasks that may require an immense change, or even having to leave our comfort zone. In this message, Pastor Phil encourages us to pursue the tasks God has led us to, no matter how great.
Pastor Diana Sagot
As we go through life, we all face the question of “who we are.” And oftentimes, we make our conclusions based on life’s experiences and the opinions of others. But in this message, Pastor Diana reminds us WHOSE we are and what our true identity is in Christ.
Pastor Alex Sagot
The relationships we surround ourselves by will direct the path we go on. They’ll build or break us. In this message, Pastor Alex reminds us the importance of surrounding ourselves with the right people and getting rid of those who bring toxicity to our lives.
Pastor Alex Sagot
What mentality do you take with you through your day to day? In the second installment of our Reset series, Pastor Alex reminds us of the importance of our mental state. Are we thinking positively or letting negative thoughts consume our minds?
Pastor Alex Sagot
Life can often leave our faith in decline and our feelings in disorder, so we end up going with the motions rather than building a relationship with God. But God wants to wake us up! It’s never too late. Watch this message and RESET your faith!
Pastor Phil Mion
What do you have planned for this upcoming year? No matter what this last year looked like, we’re stepping into a brand new year filled with possibilities! Pastor Phil brought an amazing message that encourages us towards all the new opportunities and how to get prepared.
Pastor Alex Sagot
As humanity longs for love, Pastor Alex reminds us in this message that real love is pure in motive, active in nature and chooses on purpose. Instead of placing our identity on counterfeit versions of love, we choose to follow the love of Christ.
Pastor Alex Sagot
So often we find ourselves looking over the fence at what others have. Or we are so distracted by things that are wrong for us, we miss out on what is right. In this message, Pastor Alex encourages us to pursue JOY rather than trivial things that lead to happiness, because they are finite.
Pastor Alex Sagot
Peace is often thought of as a moment of “zen.” We think it’s something that comes and goes, or as something we’ll finally have once we have more or less of something. In this message, Pastor Alex reminds us WHO brings true peace and how we can obtain it!
Pastor Alex Sagot
When life gets difficult and we face new trials, it’s easy to lose hope if our eyes aren’t set on God. We fall into comparison, and begin feeling like He isn’t moving fast enough in our lives. In this message, we are rallied to continue to put our hope in God. To trust that He is doing because He is FOR us!
Pastor Mike Gonzalez
“Comparison will either make you feel superior or inferior, and neither pleases God.” In the final installment of our I’m Thankful But series, Pastor Mike brings a powerful message about comparison and it’s effects in our lives, and our relationship with God.
Pastor Phil Mion
It is easy to let our emotions carry us away, but when we let God be in control of our lives, we find our freedom! God does not want us living a life enslaved by fear, anger or bitterness. In this message, we are encouraged to find our freedom in Jesus.
Pastor Alex Sagot
In the second installment of our I’m Thankful But... series, Pastor Alex Sagot shares and encouraging message that reminds us that we are not lost! We can sometimes feel like we will be lost forever, which in turn disconnects us from God! But when we put God FIRST in our lives, we find direction.
Pastor Alex Sagot
In the first installment of our new series, Pastor Alex challenges us to ask ourselves: “What is in the way of our thanksgiving?” The enemy wants to silence our gratitude, but when we rise above the contention and PRAISE GOD, we win!
Pastor Diana Sagot
God has a promise for each one of us, but in order to reap the promise, we have to endure the process! We have to step out of our comfort zone, plant ourselves, and let our roots dig deep. Pastor Diana encourages us in the fourth installment of our H4TH series to embrace The Planting Process. Listen to this message to understand key points on what planting yourself is all about!
Pastor Alex Sagot
We are all searching for something in life, trying to find the meaning of success in material things. We pursue goods and items we think will fulfill our lives, only to find it leaves us empty. In this message, Pastor Alex Sagot shares what "Real Life" is truly about and what it takes to advance the Kingdom of God!
Pastor Alex Sagot
Since we are young, we learn to live a life of exchange. We give only as long as we can take and expect things in return when we give something. Are we extending this ideal to our relationship with God? Are we generous in our time or finances, only to expect something in return from Him? Pastor Alex Sagot dives into what this means in our relationship with our Savior, and how we can break out of the box!
Pastor Alex Sagot
God does not need to feel far and distant. Our Father knows you and you can know Him too! In the first installment of our What’s Next series, Pastor Alex Sagot shares a message about
God’s love, staying on the right path and what it means to really know God
With God there is always movement. As we continue in this series on the Holy Spirit, Pastor Alex teaches on three gifts of the spirit that lead us to move according to God’s plans. Because His power is not based on our situation, rather He is working things out on our behalf. We can activate our faith and be filled with these spiritual gifts when we ask believing in God’s power.
You are the hands and feet of Jesus on this earth. In this message titled “A Helping Hand”, Pastor Phil speaks a message on who we are called to be. We are called to extend grace and truth in order to restore people that are burdened. As we read in Galatians 6:1-5, let us offer a hand to others and not our judgment.
Special guest Pastor Robert Barriger joins us for summer at Calvary with a message titled “Everything is Worship”. Something happens when we continually offer up worship to God. He will stir your heart towards your purpose. Have you given your life to Jesus? Turn to him and discover all that he has for you in a life of worship.
Fear can find a way to settle into your life. Are you going to allow it or will you put your trust on the God of the universe? On this Memorial Day weekend, Diana Sagot shares a word of hope from the book of Mark chapter 5. Are you ready to stretch your faith to believe before you see God come through in your life?
Plans are important, but nothing is more frustrating than changed plans. Yet here’s what we know, that in life we will have trouble. Jesus came to tell us that he is the way, the truth and the life. As we continue in the “I Am” series, we are reminded that belief in his presence is enough. Jesus has already prepared the way for us.
There is power in connection. In the continuation of the “I Am” series, Pastor Alex Sagot teaches from the book of John 15. We are encouraged to remain connected to the true life source—his name is Jesus. Can you bear fruit unless you remain in Jesus? Make sure you remain connected to the lifeline in Jesus so you can experience a full life abiding in him.
Growth happens in the struggle season. In this message titled, “In the Middle of It,” special guest, and lead pastor of Hillsong Kansas City, Kyle Turner unpacks several moments in the bible where God showed up big time in the middle of the fire. Lean in and prepare your heart to discover how God uses your adversity to fulfill His will for your life.
As we continue in the “I Am” series leading up to Easter Sunday, we learn what Jesus meant when he said, “I am the door.” Are there doors in your life that you wish you had never been exposed to? Pastor Mike reminds us that Jesus is the open door to a life of freedom and fulfillment. Let us redirect our focus to the door we are entering; the door to eternity with God.
Darkness can be overwhelming. In the second week of the “I Am” series, Pastor Alex reminds us that without light we have no direction. Jesus declared in John 8:12 that he is the light of the world. And if we follow him, we will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.
Jesus reveals his identity in the book of John with the seven “I Am” statements. Kicking off a seven-week series, Pastor Alex Sagot reads from John 6:35 where Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life.” We are encouraged to lean into Jesus, the one true source that can satisfy us eternally. He will demonstrate who he is in power and grace.
As human beings, we tend to be forgetful at times. As we live our daily lives, we forget about those who are less fortunate, the broken and the people in need. It’s so important that we follow the example of Jesus from Mark 15:1-7, which teaches us to always be aware of the one’s in need, take action for those who are lost and go above and beyond for humanity.
Pastor Alex Sagot
One of the most important decisions we make as Christians, is who we choose to surround us. We need the right people in our lives. The wrong friends can lead us to the wrong destiny. The right friends can propel us into the right destiny.
Pastor Diana Sagot
The reality is that if we want to have better relationships, we need to be better people, and in order to be better people, we need to be more like Jesus. What we wear reflects what we believe, so it’s important to clothe our minds with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience in order for us to love like Jesus.
Pastor Alex Sagot
The relationships, friendships, and community around us are important. Who you’re in relationship with matters and it impacts the quality of your life. As we kicked off this new series, Pastor Alex encouraged us out of Ecclesiastes 4:8-12 reminding us that two are better than one.
Pastor Alex Sagot
As we wrapped up our series through the book of Revelation, we were encouraged about the promise of the rapture. Jesus loves us so much that He’s coming back for us, the Church. God is inviting humanity into a relationship with Him.
Pastor Phil Mion
Often times people compromise who they are when no one is watching. It’s important to ask ourselves, how are we living knowing that Jesus is away? Are we still passionate about the Gospel? Is our serving full of joy? The good news is that the physical Jesus is not with us but he left us the Holy Spirit who is now working in us and around us. Jesus wants to make sure that the condition of the Church is still passionate and vibrant while he is away. Jesus isn’t looking for the perfect church he is longing for a church that will last.
Pastor Alex Sagot
It’s time that we as Christians begin to understand that we are living in a state of emergency. There are so many people in our cities and in this world that are desperately searching for answers in life and we have the answer- His name is Jesus! Our walk with God is not about staying within the four walls of the church, it’s about going into this lost and broken world to tell people about the one who saves and restores!
Pastors Alex Sagot, Diana Sagot, Nabile Rueda, Stephany Gonzalez, and Jorge Perez.
There have been so many questions submitted that are often not talked about within the church. This week, we answered some of those questions about relationships, money, mental health, and why do bad things happen to good people? Our hope is that you feel refreshed from hearing different perspectives regarding these topics.
Pastor Alex Sagot
Isn’t it frustrating when you are trying to talk to someone either via phone or in person and you can’t hear them? This happens to many of us in our relationship with Jesus; we question whether or not we can hear His voice. The good news is that God does speak! This week Pastor Alex taught on why we may struggle in hearing God’s voice and what we can do in order to listen.
Pastor Alex Sagot
Jacob is considered a hero of the faith, and if there is one thing we can learn from his life is to let God take full control of our lives. We all, to some degree, desire to control an aspect of our lives. But the truth is that the moment we lay down the burden of control, we can receive the blessing of freedom.
Pastor Alex Sagot
People typically throw things that are broken away, we stop using them because we think they are useless. It even happens in our own lives, we begin to think that we are so messed up that God can’t use us. But we are not God, He uses us in our brokenness. Moses was a flawed man who had some issues in his life, yet God used him. In today’s message we learned through the life of Moses that the level we allow God to do something in us, is the level that God will do something through us.
Pastor Diana Sagot
God has created each of us with strength and perseverance. God pours into us everything that we believe we don’t have. In the book of 1 Samuel we see that God always blessed Hannah with a double portion of His blessings although she was in the midst of sadness. In today’s message we learned the importance of showing up, counting our blessings, relying on prayer and waiting on God.
Pastor Alex Sagot
There are so many times that we get caught up in chasing the winds of tomorrow and we miss the gift of today. Today, we were reminded that we should never fail to realize what God has given us today. When we begin to trust God with our future, we can enjoy the gift of the present.
At some point in our lives, we all long to find the answer to the questions "What is life? What is my purpose? Where can I find true satisfaction?" As we begin to look through the book of Ecclesiastes, we learn that when we see God for who He is we see the world for what it is- empty, shallow, and unfulfilling. Today, Pastor Phil teaches us that we find true purpose when we learn to live life in the Son instead of living life under the sun.
Pastor Alex Sagot
Have your plans ever been ruined? Life will sometimes come with a change of plans. When things don’t go how we want and when we want, it’s easy to lose hope. This happens because sometimes we think that our plans are better than Gods plan for our lives. Let’s always remember when we don’t understand the plan, we need to trust His heart. Don’t let what you’re seeing control what you’re believing.
Many of us can be moving in the right direction, but never arriving in the right destination. The truth is that the direction we are in, will determine the destination we arrive at. We must have a vision of what we want life to look like, be disciplined start, and obedient to take small steps in the right direction.
Pastor Alex Sagot
There are so many people not progressing in life because they are fixated on the past. But the truth is that God’s direction for our lives is always forward. We must always remember to forget the past, believe that God wants to bless our lives, and decide to persevere.
Pastor Alex Sagot
There will be times that life will be full of chaos and impossibility. But Mighty God makes the impossible; possible, He brings order to chaos and give us victory over our failures.
Pastor Phil Mion
This week Pastor Phil encouraged us out of 1 Peter 2:11, reminding us that our position in Heaven affects our purpose here on Earth. We were not called to fit in, we were chosen to stand out! Our conduct on Earth, should always reflect our citizenship in Heaven. Let’s be people that attract others to Jesus because of the way we live our lives!
Pastor Alex Sagot
We can all relate to the fact that in life we will experience set backs. But the good news is that God doesn’t want us to live in the struggle, He wants us to live in the breakthrough. We need to make a determination that all day everyday we will draw near to God because perseverance results in the promise, and it is the process that builds our progress. Don’t stop, you are on the edge of breakthrough!
Pastor Alex Sagot
We are living in a world where there are so many people that are lost, feeling like they don’t belong. But the good news is that the church is a place where everyone has a home! We can never forget about the broken, lost and wandering people around us and as a Church people will always be our cause. The Church is a community that God is building where everyone belongs.
Pastor Alex Sagot
So many times we walk around life with the “me” mentality, and the truth is that God saved us so that we could rescue others! We should always live lives with eyes that see beyond ourselves and we should have hands that are always willing to carry. The four men in Mark 2:1-12 were examples of a Dream Team. They were examples of people who understood that it wasn’t about them and who were willing to carry someone to Christ no matter what it took; may we always be part of that Dream Team!
Pastor Alex Sagot
There are so many times that we wait for someone to do something when God is calling us. God is not looking past you, He is looking at you. There is an urgency in our city and God is looking at each of us to stand up. The truth is that we can do something alone, but we can do great things together! A powerful church represents a powerful help in our city.
Pastor Richard McCarthy
In life we will experience pain because of injuries, wether physical or emotional, it is inevitable. The truth is that the process of healing can sometimes be more painful than the initial injury. But in today’s message Pastor Richard McCarthy reminded us that the process God has in store for us may be painful, but it will get us to the promised healing. Your past wounds are now your battle scars that have produced strength in you.
Pastor Alex Sagot
There is hope for you today no matter where you are or where you come from because God loves your family. In this message, Pastor Alex reminded us that no matter what our family history may look like or what happened in our past, our position in Jesus is greater than our history in family. Although we can’t change our past, we can change our future because Jesus stepped in to restore everything that has been broken.
Pastor Alex Sagot
There are so many times in life that we feel like we are waiting for God and He's forgotten about us. But in today's message, Pastor Alex reminded us that the presence of trouble does not mean there's an absence of God. God is with us! Although His voice may be silent, His hand is always moving in our lives.
Pastor Alex Sagot
Family Matters Part 1
Great families take work because great families don’t happen by accident. Small changes in our families can make for big differences in them.
Pastor Alex Sagot
Today we were reminded that God has given each of us specific gifts which are supernatural abilities to do God's work. Ps. Alex reminded us that we all have a gift because we have a purpose. God wants to do incredible things with our lives so let's not underestimate what God has over-gifted us.
Pastor Alex Sagot
So many times we try to do things on our own forgetting that we have access to something more powerful than us- we have the power of the Holy Spirit within us. Today, Pastor Alex taught us that we weren't just saved to survive, we were saved to thrive. There is more that God has for you, your marriage, your future and your family!
Pastor Alex Sagot
As we begin our series on the Holy Spirit we are reminded that the Holy Spirit is a person, a helper, and God himself. The truth is that sometimes we are not experiencing all that God has for us because we are not acknowledging the Holy Spirit and all He has to offer. We can't live a life of power if we are not connected to the Source of power; the Holy Spirit.
Pastor Phil Mion
How many people walk around life not knowing that they have a purpose? The truth is that before we were all born Jesus created us on purpose for a purpose. Today, Pastor Phil encouraged us out of 1 Timothy 4:11-14 to teach people with the way we lead our lives, stay in the word of God, and focus on walking daily in the purpose that Jesus gave each of us.
Pastor Jorge Perez
It is very easy to get to a place in life that makes us question whether God is listening to us or not. But the reality is that prayer is a powerful tool that God has gifted us in order to get us through every season of life. Today, we were reminded to take advantage of the resource of prayer so that we can realize that God is in control, reach to Him when things get overwhelming, release our burdens to Jesus, and rest in His presence.
Pastor Alex Sagot
In today's message we were reminded that we have the power in Jesus to fight any giant that rises up in our lives. We need to know that the giants we don't slay, become the giants we obey.
Pastor Alex encouraged us to fight against the giant of fear by magnifying and trusting Jesus.
Pastor Nabile Rueda
More and more it is evident that there is a violent fight for our mind, a fight that is happening all around us and it is unrelenting. The enemy’s hope is that we would live lives discouraged, imprisoned by negative thoughts, and losing all hope. But in today’s message, Pastor Nabile encouraged and reminded us that Jesus overcame it all for us and it is time that we fight from a place of victory and not defeat.
On Father's Day, Pastor Alex shared a message reminding us of the love of our Heavenly Father. We no longer have to live as slaves or be known as orphans; now we are called children of God.
As we wrap up our Philippians series, Pastor Alex reminds us that the secret to contentment is found in Jesus and not in our circumstances because we "can do all things through He who gives us strength."
Many times conflict will show up in our lives and change our plans, but it doesn't have to take our joy. This week in our Philippians series, Pastor Alex encourages us to stand firm in God so that our joy isn't easily taken.
In today's message, Pastor Alex shared how we must fight for unity, stay humble, and be like Jesus who served all.
As we continue through our Philippians series, Pastor Alex encourages us that although we can be going through a difficult situation, God will always bring good from it. Out of our darkest moments come the brightest things.
As we wrap up our Values series, Pastor Alex talks about how legacy is our commitment to the next generation.
In the fourth part of our Values series, Pastor Alex talks about how excellence is the culture of our house; how it is not just what we do, but who we are.
