What He Told Me | Philippians 1:21 | The Funeral of +Steve Masters+
When death comes suddenly, grief is sharpened by the questions that linger: What would I have said? How would I have thanked him? What conversations will never happen now? But Scripture promises that even in the shock of loss, God's people are not left without comfort—or without a word. For the faithful who have gone before us speak louder in their lives than they could in any final goodbye.
In this funeral sermon, Pastor Rojas reflects on the life, faith, and final confession of Steve Masters, a man whose active devotion to Christ and His Word revealed a faith that was not merely known but *lived*. Steve's battle with cancer, his unwavering presence in worship, his daily prayers, his deep knowledge of Scripture—all of it pointed to a single conviction: that his real life, his real identity, his real worth was hidden with Christ. When asked how he endured, Steve spoke words that became his sermon to everyone who loved him: "For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." This is a message about sudden death, unfinished conversations, the Gospel at work in a human life, and the privilege of witnessing a Christian who truly understood what it meant to belong entirely to Jesus. It is a sermon about grief, faith, and the comfort that does not change—because the Christ Steve confessed is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
When's the Best Time To Praise God? | Christ For You
Psalm 138
When is it okay to pray out loud at work? When should you speak up about what's true? When can you confess Christ without being ashamed?
We've learned the answer: later. In church. In private. When it's safe. When everyone agrees. But what if you're waiting for a moment that never comes?
David didn't wait. Surrounded by false gods, he praised the true God anyway. In the midst of trouble, he gave thanks. Not because circumstances improved. Because he knew something about God's character.
So here's the question that haunts every Christian: Can you really praise God in every place and at every time? When you're surrounded by people who don't believe? When you're still suffering? When nothing has changed? When you're afraid?
And more deeply: Does God still regard you if you've been silent? If you've compromised? If you've hidden your faith? What does the cross of Christ actually make possible for sinners like us?
This sermon answers these questions. It shows why David's boldness wasn't arrogance—it was humility. Why Christ sang before His death. And why the right time to praise God is now. The right place is everywhere. Because in Christ, you belong to the Father. And He regards you.

What Does He Think of Me Now? | Christ For You
Luke 15:1–32 | Trinity 3
The Pharisees are offended because Jesus receives sinners and eats with them.
Not respectable sinners. Not cleaned-up sinners. Tax collectors, public sinners, unclean sinners, the kind of people religious men thought God should keep at a distance.
But Jesus does not apologize. He tells a story.
A son runs from his father, wastes everything, destroys himself, and comes home with nothing. What will the father do? Will he shame him? Reject him? Make him earn his way back? Or will he receive him?
What does this parable teach us about guilt, repentance, shame, and the heart of God? Why do we secretly imagine God keeping score? What happens when we treat forgiveness like a point system? And what does it mean that the father runs to embrace his lost son?
This Trinity 3 sermon proclaims the comfort of Christ for sinners who wonder whether they have gone too far, failed too often, or come home too late. In Christ, the Father receives sinners, forgives sinners, feeds sinners, raises sinners, and brings His children home.
