Pastor Bob’s message, “The Book of Acts: The Word & Power Church,” highlights the transformative role of preaching in the life of the early church and in our lives today. Drawing from Acts 2, he reminds us that preaching is God’s chosen means to awaken hearts and change lives, just as Peter’s sermon led to the salvation of 3,000 souls. Pastor Bob emphasizes that true power comes from Scripture itself, not from stories or opinions, and urges us to keep every message centered on Jesus—the source of our hope, redemption, and life.

In week two of our study of the Book of Acts, Pastor Bob shared a powerful message from Acts 2 titled The Jesus Revolution. He reflected on the transformative events of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit ignited a movement that continues to shape our lives today. Pastor Bob reminded us that Pentecost fulfilled God’s divine plan, marked the supernatural birth of the Church, and revealed God’s mercy and grace through the outpouring of His Spirit, calling us to carry that same fire forward in the ongoing Jesus Revolution.

This past Sunday, Pastor Bob delivered another sermon in his "Reasons I Believe" series, titled "The Resurrection of Jesus Christ." We explored the profound impact of Jesus' resurrection and its significance for us today. He guided us through Acts 1:1-9, emphasizing the Holy Spirit's pivotal role in the early church and our lives.

Pastor Bob shared how the resurrection of Jesus, confirmed by the empty tomb and eyewitnesses, stands as the foundation of our faith, transforming lives and empowering believers to share the Gospel. He reminded us that the Holy Spirit continues to guide and energize the church today, calling us to step out in faith and carry the message of hope to the world.

Pastor Bob Guaglione concluded his Family Matters series with a message titled “10 Things I Know About Family.” He reminded us that family is a divine institution designed by God as the foundation of both society and spiritual life. Strong, faith-centered families create strong communities, where God’s love and purpose can be experienced daily through our relationships. He emphasized that navigating the challenges of family life requires the guidance of the Holy Spirit, who empowers us to serve one another selflessly, offer grace, and grow together in faith. Pastor Bob also highlighted the transformative power of forgiveness, explaining that it restores unity, brings healing, and allows us to experience true peace. By releasing resentment and extending grace, we reflect Christ’s love within our homes and strengthen the spiritual bond that holds our families together. He finished the series by bringing his wife, Monica, on stage to talk about how they practiced certain family values in their home

This past Sunday, Pastor Bob Guaglione continued his Family Matters series with a message titled “Under Siege: The Attack on the Family.” Drawing from Ephesians 6:1–4, he reminded us that families are the cornerstone of spiritual growth, much like seminaries where faith is taught and lived out. Pastor Bob encouraged us to stand firm against modern challenges by holding to biblical principles, nurturing our households with love and respect, and broadening our view of family to include all who are united in Christ.

This past Sunday, we welcomed back author and speaker Michael Thompson for the second week of our Family Matters series. In his message, Raising Arrows, Michael reminded us that family is God’s idea and children are His gift (Psalm 127). He encouraged us to view parenting as an opportunity to guide and advocate for our children, speaking life into their identities. Above all, he stressed that we mirror the power of the unconditional love of God, our children should know they’re loved for who they are, not what they do.  

Pastor Bob's message Family Matters Part 1: God's Blueprint explored how families can thrive by following God's divine design, drawing from Psalm 127's reminder that "Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it." He emphasized three key principles: aligning our family life with God's blueprint to build strong, resilient households; establishing core values to guide families through life's challenges while raising children who know and love God; and creating homes that serve as nurturing centers of spiritual, emotional, and intellectual growth where open communication and support flourish.

This past Sunday Anna Walker-Roberts shared a teaching from the Book of James, weaving together her personal journey of faith, the call to embrace humility, and the challenge to live out faith through action. She shared how unexpected paths in her life led to deeper trust in Jesus, reminded us through James 4:10 that humility means relying on God and valuing others above ourselves, and urged us to be doers of the Word, actively putting our faith into practice with humility and purpose.

We were so inspired by the vibrant energy of our SENT Sunday service! Our speakers Rahonel Tejada, Chris Flores, and Austin Medley delivered powerful messages on the theme of youth empowerment and spiritual devotion.

God Works Through the Youth: Rahonel Tejada reminded us from 1 Timothy 4:12 that young people shouldn't let anyone look down on them because of their age, but instead set powerful examples in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity.

Devotion and Impact: Chris Flores shared how being fully devoted to God's word transformed his life, demonstrating that devoted youth can inspire all through his personal story of finding Jesus and community at ccdelco.

Living Faith and Mission: Austin Medley concluded with a call to live out our faith actively. He encouraged us to embrace our roles as peacemakers and to execute the Lord's will by making disciples and spreading peace and righteousness.

In his sermon "The Book of James: Living Faith" Pastor Adler Roberts challenged us to embrace spiritual maturity by cultivating a living faith that reflects our growth in Christ, much like an adolescent developing into adulthood. Drawing from James 1:19-20, he emphasized the transformative power of being "quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger," reminding us that our words carry immense power and that managing our emotions allows us to better reflect God's righteousness and His image. Adler also highlighted the importance of confessional living, encouraging us to embrace honesty and transparency in our spiritual journey, as confessing our sins and struggles opens the door to healing and deeper fellowship with both one another and with God.
