"When was the last time you prayed?"
Outside of the Sunday prayers that we do, when was the last time that you actually took yourself away from all distractions and got on your knees and prayed to God?
Was it in gratitude for all of the blessings that you have received, was it because of a recent trouble or heartache that you are going through?
Was it for someone else that you were made aware of?
Jesus said,
“If you love Me, obey My commandments." John 14:14

Barabas was released instead of Jesus---was it because of envy? Jesus was an innocent man that became the substitutionary atonement for all of our sins. 1John 2:2

More than two thousand years ago, God’s plan of redemption altered the world forever. The power of sin and death was broken through the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ that first Easter.

Sometimes we think there is a sign that we need to see before we can truly surrender to God.
But as we see there is no greater sign than God sending His one and only Son to be born on this earth to live and die for us. The Christmas season is much more than a happy holiday, but a day of remembrance. Don’t just do it as lip service but truly repent and believe.

'Tis the season and as we kick off this Christmas season we look at the reactions of different people in hearing about the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
We hear this message each year, but has our reaction changed? Have we tried to fit the world in with the church instead of the church going into the world? Listen in as we tackle this and much more!

We’ve all thought that, "It’s my way or the highway!" Sometimes we just think it’s best to do it my way, but there is far greater purpose when you let God guide your footsteps. The world tells you “my way” but God shows you “His way.”

Attending church can get us real acquainted with blindly keeping up with a certain set of rules. Why do we somehow equate this with a functioning relationship with God?
Pastor Joe muddies our cozy familiarity with mere law-abiding in this week’s continuation of our series. You cannot afford to mess up the order: It is by grace you receive, through faith in the living God, that produces a need inside you to inevitably abide in His ways.

Imagine how silly it would’ve been if we started accusing a widower adultery if they ever, however long after, choose to remarry? Yet seemingly, that‘s how we tend to portray our testimony before others—glorifying our past sins far more than what we have gained in Christ.

When we weaponize the Mosaic Law to gauge each other’s right standing with God, it becomes drastically problematic.
Pastor Joe’s continuation of our series lands on the irony: Religion we observe that doesn’t deliver us to an in-depth encounter with Christ merely render us even less righteous in God’s sight.

Isn’t it frustrating when God goes off-script and completely disregards the stage cues we’ve set up in our Little Production™? Worse, we hold Him hostage over the things that go awry in this heist we execute.
Pastor Joe resumes our series only to find disobedience as the fastest way to delay God’s plan for us. We’re all dancing in circles when we wrestle His will or our brothers in Christ—what’ll happen if we push our preparations aside and make way for His instead?

Relationships are hard work, especially with people who were picked for you—in advance and without your permission—and ones you get to keep for the rest of your life. If they say parents are a gift from God, how come some of us only feel like taking the gift receipt back to the store, not only to demand a full return, but also to be compensated for the inconvenience it caused us?
The church's very own youth lead, Michael Villanueva, makes his debut this week a dedication to everyone who struggles to preserve a harmonious relationship with their folks.

All your life, you’ve only been told to be nice, no matter what—bend over backwards, even, just to make everyone happy. We live in a world where getting along is the bedrock of a functioning society.

This week, Pastor Joe reinforces the imperative role of thoroughly examining oneself; whether our actions fundamentally embody Christ or we merely allow the enemy’s lies to disarm the Holy Spirit’s fruits—inadvertently disqualifying us from finishing the race strong. Think about it.

Have you ever been accused of being a fake fan before? It’s not a very fun experience for all parties involved. As we approach the end of our series, Pastor Joe asks that we conduct an honest examination of what motivates our every endeavor. Do we come from a place of authentic love that overflows from our flourishing walk with Christ or from an all-time faith-it-‘til-you-make-it kind of attitude?

Everyone knows of this exclusive realm you wound up on with a sibling or a friend where you both understand exactly how the other one operates at any given point in time without even uttering a single word. Pastor Joe envisions the church striving to breach this level of intimacy with Christ not only derivative of, but especially outside receiving the Lord's Supper.

Live in this broken world long enough, you will soon learn that having a weakness leaves you vulnerable to other people's exploitation. If Psalm 139 makes a magnanimous declaration of God's fearfully and wonderfully making of us, what purpose do our weak points serve then?
Closely following Christ entails a series of unprecedented events that take you to uncharted territories in your life you never even knew existed in the first place. If you want to test your life for even more weak spots, definitely follow Christ closely.
Continuing our series, Richard Fennimore reveals exactly what our Achilles heel converts to in God's kingdom.

Why is it essential to fellowship with other broken people who can potentially disappoint us more than anyone else in this world?

It goes without saying that it takes a village to raise your children. But miles beneath that perfectly curated hook is a nonstarter truth that gets lost in all the shuffle: Our fathers shape who we eventually become.
Child-rearing is no easy task by any measure. While our moms stress over shielding us from the world, it is up to our dads to launch us to higher vistas. And they must perform such duty with equivalent grace and wit—or else it doesn’t really make any impact. Even our Heavenly Father has set a standard bar specifically catered for them, just so no one misses out. Exactly how, though? Pastor Joe’s input on the matter starts after the jump.

Did you know that selective hearing is a legitimate psychological filtering our brain is physiologically capable of? Yes, our brain can't process all stimuli constantly bombarding us. But far from being an impairment, this voluntary choice of where we focus attention on ultimately falls on us.
The church of Corinth wasn't resistant to this type of malingering when it comes to Paul's warning of false prophets—described by Pastor Joe for the next chapter of our series. Oddly enough, their habitual vices leave Paul greatly insecure. Wouldn’t you want to know how it feels to have someone care for you so much they hurt to see you pine after something…fake?
THOU SHALL NOT PRACTICE ‘SELECTIVE HEARING’ 2 COR. 11:1-15

As imperfect people, we can be deceived by the appearance of a man, and we often measure how successful he is by what we see on the outside. This week's message tackles on how we can live a holy life by accepting one another instead of judging them first. This is the first step before we can start maturing in our walk with Jesus. Pastor Joe invites us to trust God and let His will be done in our lives. Press play for more

Have you seen this post lately?
'FEAR NOT' WAS MENTIONED 365 TIMES IN THE BIBLE
It serves as preface to a life lived impenetrable to fear. While it is an encouraging, well-meaning thought—it's also a false statement. At best, King James' translation only offers at least 100 verses or so of this glamorized Christian fearlessness narrative.
Nevertheless, hopefully our faith in Jesus can stand by itself without made-up stats on His true and unwavering identity and promise to us.
This week, Pastor Kevin White shares a message about Christ's authenticity, so tangible it almost jumps right out of the pages and takes you away with it. We all manifest doubts despite a greater need to step out in faith. Yet you can't afford to miss out on this great challenge posed upon all of us.
ONE GREAT NEED, ONE GREAT FEAR, ONE GREAT CHALLENGE Hebrews 12:1-2 ; 9-14

Don’t you just wish on some days following Christ is like the film Yes Man (2008)? The movie’s premise is hinged on this cult ideology that there’s zero need for a complex formula to better your conditions or an excruciating ordeal to go through to succeed in life—you only ever need to say ‘Yes’ to everything, no matter how ludicrous it may sound at first. Pastor Joe takes us further in with this next installment of our series as he breaks out a back-to-back message on obedience. It's terrifying not knowing what’s around the corner or difficult, even, waiting for the going to stop being so tough. Be that as it may, could it be possible that, by proactively deciding to put yourself in full submission, you place yourself in the most liberating position in this world? It’s not that hard. You can live your most rewarding life today if you engage in this week’s sermon.

Has this ever happened to you? Mother’s Day is fast approaching and somehow you just can’t come up with the perfect special gift to give your beloved mom. Unless you have an immaculate track record you maintain, you might have missed the mark on several years here and there. But what if we tell you the best Mother’s Day gift out there has zero calories, is gluten-free, and unbelievably dirt-cheap? Pastor Joe offers a scam-free, 100% money-back guaranteed present everyone can get today for absolutely $0 cost-shipping. Press that play button for more info.

Unbeknownst to many, the last book of the Harry Potter franchise befuddled critics and fans alike when it featured Matthew 6:21 in its plot line. Like the Bible verse: “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also,“ Pastor Joe urges us, this week, to ruminate on things we give value to. Do our offerings reflect whom we place our reliance on? Are we able to genuinely say “It’s my pleasure,” when God asks of our participation in matters of His Kingdom?
IT'S MY PLEASURE 2 CORINTHIANS 8:1-15 NLT, NKJV, NIV
INTRO: A) IF, WHAT, WHY, HOW: 1 JOHN 3:16-18 B) THE HEART OF THE PROBLEM: MATTHEW 6:21 / MATTHEW 19:21

III: GIVE AS YOU ARE BLESSED: 2 COR 8:11-13

Shortly after its launch in 1990, NASA discovered that the billion-dollar initiative Hubble Telescope had a lens problem when photos it took of the Milky Way came back blurry. Richard Fennimore pleads a case against our complacency when it comes to God’s call to holiness. How come our perception and awe of our God come back dull and blurry? How come it takes only searing pain for us to peer underneath our sinful habits? Is it possible that we have our own personal lens flaw…and not know it? This week's sermon is an eye-opener, don't miss it.

They say worship is a lifestyle, in such a large scale that it hijacks your weekend plans, sabotages the habitual decisions you used to make and interferes with your regularly scheduled program called Life. An insidious operant takes over a Christian’s life if a disconnect between what he does on weekdays and how he serves on the weekends exists. Pastor Joe takes a series break detour this week as he lifts the rug and exhibits the dirt we all sweep under it from time to time and, importantly—having that legitimate information—what next steps should we allow our God to do in us.
Title: BEING AND DOING EVERYTHING FOR GOD 2 SAMUEL 11:1-27 & MARK 4:35-40
INTRODUCTION: COLOSSIANS 1:10 JEREMIAH 17:9 PROV 4:20-23
*BEING WHERE GOD WANTS US TO BE: 2 SAMUEL 11:1
*NOT BEING WHERE GOD WANTS US CAN LEAD TO SIN: 2 SAMUEL 11:2-3
*GUARD YOUR EYES! MATTHEW 6:22-23
*COMPLACENCY = SIN= DEATH 2 SAMUEL 11:4-5
*DESIRE = SIN = DEATH JAMES 1:13-15
*CHANGE YOUR DESIRES! PSALM 37:4
*BEING WITH JESUS...
Jesus clearly said that He came that we may have life and enjoy it to the fullest. There were no hidden caveats—He was not talking about this seemingly far and ahead afterlife we all long to get to someday but, instead, this * right now* life that we live. But also, God expects us to live a life of purity and holiness in such an extreme way that we shine as beacons of hope to this sinister world. How do you find a happy medium, if in the midst of all the conflicting messages you hear in this day and age, all lines are blurred and any information can be polished, twisted and Christianized? WHY NOT press play and we’ll let Pastor Joe navigate you through the nitty gritty of this week’s continuation of our journey through the Book of 2nd Corinthians?
TITLE: WHY NOT? 2 CORINTHIANS 6:14,7:1 INTRODUCTION: THE BIG "IF'S" & "WHY'S" JOHN 14:15 LUKE 9:23 "IT" BEGINS IN THE MIND ROMANS 12:2
I: GOD'S COMMAND 2 CORINTHIANS 6:14 IA) THE FIRST COMMAND EVER GENESIS 2:17
II: SOME THINGS JUST DON'T..
Heavy is the head that wears the crown. The very first motion picture of Spider-Man has cemented what probably is the most tired quote of all time: “With great power comes great responsibility.” What it entails is this huge, unspoken obligation expected from anyone gifted with extraordinary capabilities. This week, we discover exactly what extraordinary bearing we receive when we come to know our Savior. Press that play button for more.
Title: MARKED FOR LIFE. 2 COR 6:3-10 NIV, NLT, & NKJV INTRODUCTION: DID YOU KNOW? DEUTERONOMY 7:9
I: DO NOT BE A STUMBLING BLOCK 2 COR 6:3
II: SHOW JESUS THROUGH OUR LIVES 2 COR 6:4-6, 8-10 FRUITS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT GALATIANS 5:22-26 PUT ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD EPHESIANS 6:14-17 PLUS PRAY EPHESIANS 6:18
III: NOT BY OUR POWER, BUT BY GOD'S POWER! 2 CORINTHIANS 6:7 QUESTION FOR YOU: NUMBERS 11:23 RELY ON GOD'S POWER! JEREMIAH 32:17
In this day and age, information is open-access. But imagine being alive during the first century, when mere mention of Christ’s Name comes with risk; when grieving for a death of a son, a brother or a friend is punishable by law. Can we sincerely pledge our allegiance to this self-proclaimed Messiah who, despite His magnanimous promises of eternal life, simply…died? Will we ever be ready to find out, three days later, that His tomb would have been empty?
TITLE: SPOILER ALERT; THE TOMB IS EMPTY! MAIN VERSE: LUKE 24:1-12 / 1 CORINTHIANS 15:3-8, 14-22
THE TOMB IS EMPTY: LUKE 24:1-6, 24:7-9, 24:10-12

How do you sail a ship and dock it successfully? You orient yourself in the right direction and you consistently sail forward, according to your measured bearings. This metaphor is analogous of Richard Fennimore's take on the perilous, legalistic stance even some vet Christians are not immune of taking. Avoid other various, common traps. Learn how to navigate #GodsPlan and policy in this week's Palm Sunday message.
