Matthew 18:1-5

In this week's sermon, Pastor Dave challenges us from the passage of Matthew 18. We are called to be like children, having full devotion to Christ our Lord. This goes hand in hand as we are to protect and raise the children around us to be devoted and share in the Kingdom life here and now.

Mark 11:12-26

This week, Pastor Sid starts our new sermon series on the hard sayings of Jesus.

From the passage in the gospel of Mark, Pastor Sid guides us through what Jesus meant when he mentioned mountain moving faith. We are called to trust and focus on Jesus, not on the mountains. We trust that He will guide us through any mountain we may face.

In this episode, Pastor Dave sits down with Pastors Chris W. and Prince T.

They continue the discussion about Spiritual Giftings, specifically living it out as a church community.

Pastor Chris is the lead Pastor at Sonrise Church and Pastor Prince is the new lead Pastor at Pacific Community Church.
