Pastor Maria Hovsepian's sermon emphasizes the call for a Spirit-filled church to reach the next generation by fulfilling the assignment given by Jesus. Empowered by the Holy Spirit and the authority of Jesus, believers are called to go beyond their cultural boundaries to make disciples. The sermon highlights that this mission requires reliance on God’s Spirit, who equips the church with wisdom, power, and boldness to continue spreading the gospel.
The method of church can change and should but the message of the church should always remain the same: Jesus focused, Spirit infused, and community driven.
Generosity has always been a necessary tool of advancing the church. God gives entrusts us with the resources of the tithe, time and talents for us to steward and use them wisely to advance the work of His Kingdom (which is the ministry of the local church we attend).
The book of Acts shows us a “roadmap” for what it looks like to be a church on a mission. There are 7 key factors to being missional.
This sermon emphasizes the importance of engaging in a church community as an integral part of the Christian faith. It challenges the notion that one can have a "me and Jesus" approach, arguing that Christians are called to be part of the body of Christ, which is diverse by design and essential for spiritual growth. Although there may be challenges when interacting with people who are different, these relationships can be vital for a healthy and thriving spiritual life.
Jesus shows of three ways to grow as believers; all have to do with a continuous connection to Him - be United with Christ, rest in His Father’s love, and let Christian community sharpen you versus dull you.
Any true believer in Jesus can thrive no matter what context they are in if they learn that it’s not the person, place or circumstance that defines or determines their outcome. There has always been hope and empowerment through multiplication, a victor’s mindset and the “secret sauce” of prayer.
It’s very easy for people to divert responsibility for others. Jesus shows us that we are responsible and how important it is to show compassion through acts of service and generosity. They actually make us spiritually vibrant!
Warning: Message does not apply to those dealing with abusive relationships or drug addicts.
In this sermon "The Tale of Two Brothers," Pastor Maria dives into the Prodigal Son parable. She looks at both the younger son’s reckless choices and the older son’s bitterness. While the younger brother’s mistakes are obvious, the older brother's resentment is just as problematic. Both brothers need their father's grace. The message encourages us to reflect on our own flaws and seek God’s forgiveness and compassion, whether we relate more to the younger or older brother.
The Parable of the Ten Bridesmaids talks about being ready for the Second Coming of Jesus, but it does not say how we do that. By bringing in information for the chapters before and after this parable, we better understand what it means to be ready for Jesus' return. Not fearful, but ready and full of anticipation!
The presence of God was once reserved and limited to the High Priest alone, but no more! Through Jesus, who has now become our Perfect Priest , each believer has full access to the presence of God and can come closer into relationship with Him!

In this sermon titled "Prove It!,” Pastor Maria discusses the reality of spiritual warfare, using the story of Jesus being tempted by the devil in the wilderness (Luke 4:1-13). The devil repeatedly tried to make Jesus prove His divinity, but Jesus, full of divine authority, refused and used Scripture to respond. Believers do not need to accept the lie that they need to prove themselves to the enemy. Instead they are to stand firm in their faith, trust in God's authority, and remember that the ultimate victory has already been won through Jesus Christ.
Forgiveness is often seen as the supreme action of the Christian attitude; however the Bible shows us forgiveness is the baseline for Christian conduct and living. We know forgiveness is not always easy yet Jesus shows us to forgive quickly because it not only frees the person we forgive - it frees the one forgiving too.
Humility is one of the key ingredients to building healthy, Biblically based relationships. Humility helps us decentralize our "me-culture" and learn to focus on seeing ourselves as part of a whole - "we-culture." Ultimately our goal is to express the command of Jesus to love one another as He has loved us.
Community and Belonging are important aspects of a growing church community. It requires loyalty to build such relationships. However, this Biblical loyalty is formed by friendships that are committed, encouraging, and just plain “anointed”!
God's grace is available to clean up areas in our lives that have been cluttered up by sin. When God reprimanded the Levites and the priests in Israel, He also made a way for them to be able to live up to His expectation. We can be holy, righteous, and clean by allowing the holiness of God into our lives.
Malachi describes habits that can make God tire of his people; especially spiritual leaders. Whether it’s in the area of honoring God, His Word, and your spouse. God does not play games with us nor does He want us playing games with Him.
Malachi deals with a half-hearted people thinking they can give God their leftovers. Yet because God believes in His people, He is asking them to truly believe in Him with their actions. All of this is part of the preparation for the coming of the Messiah the 1st time, but is also relevant for all those awaiting His Second Coming.
The resurrection of Jesus is the greatest miracle in human history. His resurrection is relevant for all - the believer, critic, skeptic, atheist, or the prostitute.
Happy as Lazarus is a British expression that properly explains what we can glean from the 7th wonder of Jesus - the resurrection of Lazarus. We see in this miracle Jesus' compassion, authority and ability to spiritually provoke people. There was no such thing as being neutral as Jesus.
Muddy Eyes enters into the issue of blindness. Jesus was able to show He was the promised Messiah because he healed a man born blind with mud. This award miracle turned a man from an outcast to a walking billboard for the glory of God. Jesus still does the miraculous and is looking for the church to regain the power needed to see the miraculous take place in our world today.
Dive into the biblical narrative of Jesus healing a paralyzed man as he demonstrates His compassion as the God who sees individuals in their struggles and His authority over religious legalism. He is indeed the One who not only offers transformative change but also freedom from religious rules, showcasing His divine power and ongoing work in the world.
Today, we're journeying through the Gospel of John, where Jesus's miracles aren't just acts of compassion but powerful statements of His divinity and the inauguration of a new era of grace. Starting with turning water into wine at Cana, Jesus sets the stage for a ministry that transcends traditional boundaries, inviting us into a relationship with God that is deeply personal and transformative.
In this sermon, we're diving into the story of fulfillment and the incredible journey of faith represented by Caleb's life. Starting with God's promise to Abraham, which was a long game involving patience, faith, and not a little bit of wandering in the wilderness, we see a clear message: God's timing and ways are beyond our understanding, yet perfectly orchestrated for His glory and our good.
Today, we're unpacking the journey of healing that often gets overlooked in our walk with God. Right after experiencing monumental moments like salvation and deliverance, it's easy to miss the deep healing work God wants to do in our hearts. Just like the Israelites, who quickly moved from freedom to facing the realities of the wilderness, we too can find ourselves struggling with the remnants of our past "Egypts."
Today, we're getting real about what it means to be delivered by God, diving deep into the story of the Exodus as our guide. It's all about realizing that deliverance isn't something we can dictate on our terms—it's a divine intervention marked by God's mighty hand pulling us out of our personal Egypts. But here's the thing, even when it feels like everything's falling apart, that's often when God's setting the stage for our greatest breakthroughs.
In today's sermon, we're diving into the powerful theme of salvation and freedom, drawing inspiration from the story of the Exodus. We're reminded that real freedom transcends any sense of bondage, as beautifully illustrated in Deuteronomy 7:8. It's a freedom that's not just about being released from physical slavery, but also about overcoming the psychological and spiritual chains that hold us back.
In today's sermon, we're unpacking the profound contrast between Babylon, representing humanity's flawed aspirations, and the New Jerusalem, a divine masterpiece. We're reminded that while humanity has always strived to reach the heavens with our own "towers," God's city is a gift, descending from above, adorned and perfect. It's like a bride beautifully prepared for her groom.
In today's sermon, we're diving deep into the significance of the Tree of Life, an enduring symbol from the book of Revelation and Genesis. It's fascinating how this tree plays a crucial role from the very beginning of Creation, and again in the New Creation. We're reminded that the fruits of this tree aren't just for the future; we can start picking them right now through our faith and actions.
In this sermon, we explore the significance of the Book of Life, as revealed in the Book of Revelation. Our actions and attitudes play a crucial role in maintaining our place in this book, with the possibility of names being blotted out due to sin, as mentioned in Exodus 32:32-33. This message encourages an attitude of confidence and assurance in our salvation, emphasizing the promise of Revelation 3:5 that those who overcome will remain in the Book of Life and be acknowledged before God and His angels.
In this sermon, we delve into the profound and often overlooked aspects of the Book of Revelation, emphasizing its message of victory, hope, and a glorious future for believers. We're reminded that as Christians, we represent more than just ourselves; we embody Christ's name in every aspect of our lives, a name that will be eternally stamped upon us. This concept is anchored in Revelation 14:1, where those with the Lamb's name are depicted standing with Him. We must recognize our distinct identity as Christians, "sealed" by the Lamb's blood, committing to a life set apart from worldly influences and aligned with the divine purpose of God's kingdom.
In this sermon, we explore the enduring message of Christmas, emphasizing how it transcends the bounds of a single season. Central to this message is the role of Jesus, bringing warmth and light to humanity's cold state, offering grace and salvation as described in various biblical passages like John 1:9-14 and 1 Peter 1:3-6. We all must recognize the true essence of Christmas amid the commercial glitz, focusing on the spiritual significance and transformative power of Jesus' love and sacrifice.
In this sermon, discover the profound Pentecostal connection in the story of Mary, the mother of Jesus.

Join us as we explore the Pentecostal mindset and Mary's bold faith, reminding us that she knew more than we might think.
In these sermon, Pastor Eric reminds us that Christmas is not about superstars but about the humble shepherds who witnessed the message of Jesus' birth and shared it with all. The mention of David, a simple shepherd, who became a great king, reinforces this theme. Pastor Eric also stresses the qualities of a true shepherd: leading, not just pointing the way, and God's promises never failing, as highlighted in Isaiah 9:7. God's plan is bigger than all of us and we should strive to be like the Great Shepherd: Jesus.
Pastor Eric Cappelli discusses the true meaning of Christmas and its connection to evangelism. He emphasizes that the message of Jesus' birth is a powerful and transformative one. The sermon series for the month is called "Go Tell It," inspired by the Negro spiritual, focusing on spreading the message that Jesus Christ is born. Pastor Cappelli delves into the concept of biblical peace and clarifies that it's not about creating a peaceful environment but about welcoming the presence of Christ in the midst of life's challenges. He also highlights that peace doesn't involve compromising one's biblical values, even in a society that may demand it.
In this sermon, Pastor Eric highlights the challenges and necessities of missionary work, and emphasizes the importance of support and encouragement in fulfilling such demanding roles. He also talks about the global nature of Christian mission and the need for a comprehensive understanding of both the successes and hardships faced in missionary work as found in the Bible.
In this message, Pastor Eric emphasizes the importance of intentional giving for Christian missions, contrasting it with the concept of giving as a guilt-ridden obligation.

In this sermon, Pastor Maria talks about the power of voice – how the tongue, small yet mighty, can both create and destroy, much like a wildfire. Through biblical references and modern anecdotes, the power of words is further explored, showing how they can lead to monumental positive change, like Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech, or spark negativity and destruction. The importance of mindfully using our words is discussed, emphasizing that our speech reflects our character and beliefs, leading to a call for self-awareness and true surrender to ensure the heart and tongue are aligned for good.
In this sermon to kick off our new series, Pastor Eric emphasizes the core Christian values of love, equality, and mercy. We are urged to avoid favoritism and discrimination, as seen in the ways churches falter, such as prioritizing the rich over the poor. We are called to love, and do so unconditionally.
In this sermon, Pastor Eric emphasizes the significance of anointing in the context of divine mission and ministry. We will explore three pivotal anointings: Adam as the first creation, Jesus symbolizing rebirth, and the church representing renewed humanity. Scripture passages and quotes emphasize that true spiritual impact stems from personal transformation and dedication, rather than mere methodologies or machinery, underscoring the transformative power of genuine spiritual experiences.
Being anointed doesn't mean building a large church. It means walking in the power of the Holy Spirit to bring healing and revival, but is being anointed a one time deal? Or is it something more?
Pastor Eric Cappelli discusses the concept of "the anointing" and its relevance for New Testament Christians. He emphasizes that believers are called to be prophets, kings, and priests, encouraging them to embrace their identity and speak prophetically in today's society. Cappelli also highlights the importance of recognizing one's role in the kingdom of God, regardless of societal labels or divisions.
It's time to stop tiptoeing around challenges and start taking charge of your journey. In life, we've been circling obstacles for far too long. It's time to make follow the path God has laid in front of us and move beyond that mountain we've been skirting around.

Join us for this talk in our series "Foundations" where Pastor Maria teaches us on how to maintain a healthy spiritual life and healthy faith in 2022.
Our faith wasn't founded so we can sit still and watch as the world burns. Our faith was founded on an action. A purpose. To evangelize and reach people for Christ. That is why when Jesus left He gave us a very clear directive: to go and make disciples. So, how do you fit into that?
Our faith has a long history that spans across the globe, but how was Christianity founded? It all started with Jesus, but when the day of Pentecost came, our faith was changed forever. In the books of Acts the Bible tells us of how the Holy Sprit was poured out on man, and how the words of Jesus still echo into today: "Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father."
Faith without obedience... well, it isn't faith. In order to fully follow God we must be obedient to what He asks of us. Thankfully, our God never asks too much. In this sermon, Pastor Eric talks to us about having obedience: especially when it is hard!
To be great, you must consider yourself less than. At least that's what Jesus said! What does it mean to be humble and how does having humility help us?

Being sanctified means becoming more and more like Christ as we walk closer to Him. The process of sanctification is not always easy, but it is a Holy work that comes from God.

In this sermon Pastor Eric teaches us about sanctification and how it plays a role in the life of the believer.
In Christianity and secular society we use the word salvation without understanding the depth of the Biblical meaning of what it truly means to be saved. We have equated salvation to an experience but it is so much more than just a moment at a church service. Salvation is a gift that we have been given directly from God. Join us in our new series, "Free." In this sermon Pastor Eric talks to us about what salvation is, why we need it, and how we can get salvation.
The Bible has a lot to say about the heart. From our heart flows our actions and the intents behind them, but we all know that sometimes we don't behave the way that we should. Why is that? In this sermon, Pastor Eric talks about the one of the most important gifts we can give: love. Without godly love, our hearts are not anchored to goodness, but when we build our lives on the foundation of God's love our hearts overflow with goodness, joy, and blessing. Join us as we answer the question today: what is true love, and how should we live once we have found it?
Why should Christians tithe? What is the benefit to the sacrificial giving of our finances? God tells us clearly what the benefits of tithing are, but sometimes we don't always like to give our hard earned money to something that seems intangible. In this sermon, Pastor Eric talks about why tithing is not optional to a healthy Christian walk and how when we do tithe, God pours blessings upon blessings over our lives.
God has given you unique gifts, talents, and abilities. These gifts, while great for our personal use, are meant to be given right back to God through serving Him, His people, and His church. In this next talk in our series, The Seventh Value, Pastor Eric shows us how God has given us special talents so that we can be generous with them.
When a church says generosity everyone thinks of one thing: money. Being generous with your finances is important, but there are other things the Lord calls us to be generous with. In this new sermon series Pastor Eric talks to us about all the different ways the Lord calls us to be generous. In this episode, we are learning about being generous with our time.

In conclusion to our series, "Rise" Pastor Noah is talking about our final core value: Worship. Worshipping does not only occur on a Sunday, it is a decision that we must make every day. We are a church that believes in worshipping God with all of our being, on Sunday and throughout the week.
