God's gift of salvation to us is an expression of both mercy and grace. We like it when that undeserved gift goes to those that we like, but what happens when it goes to people we don't like? Or those who don't look like us? Do we begrudge God's kindness to others who are in need as we are? Join us as we explore Matthew 20 and see how God chooses to give, and how we ought to respond.

In Matthew 19, God shows us the contrast between people who come to God in faith and humility (the children), and those who come in pride (the rich young ruler). The response that Jesus had for each group tells us something important about how we ought to come to Him. Join us as we explore the contrast between the Humble and the Proud.

In our annual Unity Service, Pastor Hector Rodriguez from our sister church Iglesia Evangelica Hispana Cristo Viene shared about who we are in Christ and why we must not draw back in the face of challenges.

This message was preached in Spanish and translated live.

Probably the most important question we will ever face is "Who is Jesus?" And not just generally, who is He, but who is He to you? The answers to those questions will shape the rest of our lives. Long ago, Jesus asked that question to His disciples. Join us to see what we can learn from their answers.

When faced with rules, how we respond to them says a lot about where we put our trust. Do we act as though our adherence to good rules is what makes us righteous? Do we fence around the rules so we don't get anywhere near them? Or do we seek to obey because of Who gives those rules and our desire to please Him? Join us as we look at Matthew 15 and Pharisaical Pitfalls.

When it comes to facing storms, the question isn't whether we'll face one in life, but when. Because of our upside-down world, difficulties and trials will come to us all. The issue isn't whether we encounter them, but how we respond to them. Do we run away? Do we rely on our own strength? Do we lose heart? Or do we go to God and see Him who who He truly is and what He purposes for this situation? Join us as we look to God's Word to help us prepare for the Sinking Syndrome.

One of the common devices Jesus used in His preaching was the parable. Many of us have heard parables, such as the 10 Minas or the Prodigal Son. As we see in Matthew 13, hearing a parable isn't the same as understanding it. Join us as we explore the idea of a parable in general and the specific meaning of the Parable of the Soil.
