I love Thanksgiving! It is such a sweet holiday where we get to come together as a family, share a tasty meal, and most importantly reflect on all that we have to be thankful for. But, what if Thanksgiving wasn't just a once a year kind of thing? What if it was instead a lifestyle we chose to live out every day of the week. Tune in as we unpack what Thanksgiving means to us as Christians and how we can adopt this way of life in every season. - Pastor Anne-Marie Matos

Is God calling you to say “yes” to something today? There are moments in our lives that our “yes” to God comes with a clear next step to take; however, most of the time our “yes” seems like it will lead us into obscurity. Listen in as we discuss how a food distributor intersects with a treasurer from another land during their respective travels - in Acts 8 - and how God uses this moment to rewrite their stories. - Pastor Craig Matos

Be, Grow, Thrive: Grow by House SF

As we continue our series called Be, Grow, Thrive this week, we focus in on what it means for us to “Be”. On his way to Galilee from Judea, Jesus makes an usual stop in his journey. On the surface of it all, it seems spontaneous, a bit random, maybe even controversial. But this moment in time was anything but that. At the well, Jesus not only had a message for this Samaritan woman, but he had a message for us all. - Pastor Craig Matos

As the year rounds out, we focus in on three words: Be, Grow, Thrive. We are all created to belong and be a part of something significant, but where are we turning when we want to learn out about this purpose and belonging? Join us as we begin the journey to Be, Grow, and Thrive. - Pastor Craig Matos

"Fan into a flame and rekindle the fire of the spiritual gift God imparted to you..."(2 Timothy 1:6), some of the final words written by the Apostle Paul as he encourages a young leader, Timothy. Paul uses these words to challenge Timothy to stay on fire for God by boldly using the gifts God has given him. I believe this encouragement and challenge is so relevant for all of us today! What are we doing with the fire inside of all of us? Are we growing that fire into an uncontainable flame? How do we even go about growing that fire? Well, you can start first by tuning in! - Pastor Anne-Marie Matos

Jesus said in Matthew 12 “...for a tree is recognized by its fruit.” Our lives can produce fruit based on what our focus and motivation is in life. What type of fruit are you producing today? Is it fruit that gives honor to God and points people to him? Whether it is or not, we actually still have a choice about what type of fruit we want our lives and legacies to produce. Listen in and be encouraged about how your life can reflect Jesus with the Fruit of the Spirit. - Pastor Craig Matos

God has gifted us with his Holy Spirit as well as spiritual gifts to use, but now what? The result is that we are all left with a choice of how to respond. Will we simply acquire and accumulate these gifts or will we decide to take action? Be encouraged today to step out into a life that can be an adventure with God. - Pastor Craig Matos

Out of all of the spiritual gifts that Paul mentions in scripture, why is it that he heavily encourages prophecy? How can that gift work now and who is it for? There had to be something quite significant about it for Paul to single it out multiple times in his writings. Listen in and be inspired by what this gift can do in your life today. - Pastor Craig Matos

Spiritual gifts are a grey area for so many people and for countless others they are simply a mystery. What exactly is the obstacle we face in identifying and using them? The answer may be a bit closer to you than you even realize. - Pastor Craig Matos
