God wants nothing more than to spend all day, every day speaking with you. He wants to hear about every single mundane detail of your life. He wants to share the moments of beauty with you, He wants to sit with you in the moments of heartbreak and defeat. He wants to share every single waking moment of every single day with you. Yes, you can have a conversation with God! You can hear the voice of the almighty creator speaking directly to you!

But sometimes it feels like a one way conversation instead. Maybe it was the prayer request that you prayed over and over and over again that went unanswered. Maybe it was the big life decision that you faced that you needed guidance for, but felt like you didn’t receive any. Maybe when you sit down to talk to God, you end up asking the question…is anyone even there?

The truth is, you’re not alone. God IS there and God still speaks today! But, we learn in Scripture that God doesn’t shout or show off. He whispers to us. Do you know why? Because you only need to whisper if you’re standing right next to someone. And that’s how close He is to you. He’s right beside you always, ready for a conversation, ready to speak to you. 

Watch this message from Pastor Zach Taylor, and be encouraged that God still speaks and you can hear from Him today!

What dreams do you have for your children? To do well in school? To fit in? To conquer their social anxiety? What happens when your dreams for your kids don’t come true? 

For instance, you want them to do well in school, but instead you find they’re not meeting milestones. Their reading is going slower than other kids. They’re not performing well in math. The tutoring you arranged isn’t helping them. On Mother’s Day, we look for an example in the Bible and we find Hannah - a woman wanting desperately to become a mother and her approach was this: She prayed, she believed, and she waited. 

And Hannah didn’t just pray quiet prayers, she unloaded on God! She didn’t hold anything back and told Him exactly what she felt: pain, hurt, anguish, and disappointment. Guess what, you can do the same! Our God would rather have you yell at Him in disappointment than stay silent in defeat. Take your pain to God, because He can handle it and he cares. Then, turn your child over to God. Release those expectations you have. Release those dreams and desires. And ask God to use your child for HIS purpose! Why? Because God’s dreams and His love for your child are GREATER than your dreams and your love for your child!

Watch this message from Pastor Kayra Montanez, and be encouraged on Mother’s Day that God loves you and your child more than you know!

We would all love it if God would multiply our money, our resources, and our impact. Good news: God can do it! Let’s talk about how God can work miracles with your money and bless your generosity. Many people have heard the story from the Bible when Jesus turned 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish into enough food to feed a crowd of at least 20,000 people (that’s a conservative estimate). And there were even leftovers! 

When you examine this story, we discover that the food didn’t multiply in Jesus’ hands when He blessed it. It happened when He put the food in the hands of his disciples to give away. But catch this principle – your resources must be blessed by God BEFORE they can multiply in your hands! You bring your FIRST resources to Jesus, He blesses it, and then He gives you more to help others. That’s another principle to pick up on here… only what is GIVEN AWAY can multiply. Jesus doesn’t want to bless you so you can have a fat bank account. He wants to bless you, so that you can make a difference by helping others: feed the hungry, support single moms, care for the homeless, etc. 

This is next level generosity. Starting to tithe, and giving God your first fruits is a wonderful way to follow God’s command and calling. The next step is multiplication… giving offerings above and beyond so that God can do miracles with your money.

I bet you would like God’s hand of blessing on your plans and your life, right? Good news: God wants to bless you! He wants to bless your family, your finances, and your faith, so you can be a blessing to others. But, guess what? You gotta learn to put God first. You gotta learn how to be generous with your finances. In our series, The Blessed Life, we’re learning about 2 principles guaranteed to attract the favor and blessing of God. 

This week we look at “The Principle of First.” When God is first in your life, everything else comes into order. Now, this doesn’t mean you won’t have problems. What this means is you can survive whatever situation you have, because God is in charge. He’s in control in your life, because you have put him first. And putting him first also applies to your finances. 

The Bible makes it clear that the people who put God first should give a tithe every week (tithe means a tenth, so that’s 10% of your income) to the local church. And it gives faith to give the first of your finances! Tithing means you’re giving to God BEFORE you know if you’re going to have enough. Ultimately, God doesn’t just want you to put Him first, he wants you to have a heart like His… He wants to bless you so you can bless others. Listen, all of us are born as “takers.” But when you’re born again in Jesus Christ, you should be a “giver!” If you want to see the supernatural blessings of God upon your life, start by giving generously.

Jesus is alive today! God is still moving and still changing lives. He can change yours too! So, if you’re asking yourself… Why should I get baptized? That’s the answer: Because it will change your life! Baptism isn’t something we created or conjured up. Jesus Himself was baptized and commands us to do the same.

In fact, Jesus' last words on earth include the following command: “Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.” When you are baptized, first you must repent. You first change your mind about God (admit sin will destroy you). Then, you change your heart (about God-- He’s not mad, He’s forgiving and wants to give you a fresh start). And, finally you let His love change your life!  Believe God will give you a second chance. If you confess your sin, He will wash them away and raise you to new life in Christ!

Easter isn’t some religious myth or legend. Easter marks a historical event - the resurrection of Jesus Christ, when Jesus rises from the dead, proving He is the Son of God. Jesus was arrested and crucified on a cross although He had committed no crime. Yet, Jesus wasn’t a victim. He was victorious! His death and resurrection defeated the power of sin and death. He is ALIVE today! 

Because of Jesus’ resurrection, eternal life is granted to everyone who believes in Him. Yes, we’re talking about heaven. Christ followers can look forward to a reunion with loved ones in heaven. And nothing in this world - not addiction, divorce, or death itself can separate you from the love of God. 

So, if you are heartbroken right now, if you are in a dark place, let us encourage you to let the light of Christ dispel that darkness. There is hope with Jesus! If you never made the decision to trust in Christ, the Holy Spirit is inviting you to do that right now! Go ahead and declare that Jesus is Lord and God raised him from the dead. If you believe and trust in God, you too can have eternal life!

We all have a choice. We can receive the truth of Jesus or we can reject it. What will you choose? On Good Friday, Jesus was crucified in the middle of two men - two thieves. Interestingly, they each had a very different response to Jesus. As they are hanging from crosses, side-by-side, one criminal mocks and insults Jesus. But, the other confesses his guilt, proclaims Jesus’ innocence, and asks Jesus to remember him when he ascends to Heaven. And you know what Jesus said? “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” 

This is incredible! This thief never read the Bible, never got baptized, never took Communion, never served on a Dream Team! Think about this… he was a criminal! Whatever crimes he committed were so bad that he was sentenced to crucifixion. But, what God shows us here is the GIFT OF GRACE! It’s truly radical. 

The gift of grace points to this truth: Good people don’t go to Heaven. Good deeds don’t get you to Heaven. It’s not about what YOU do, it’s about what Christ does FOR YOU! And what we should notice is how Jesus responds to the thief. It’s proof that there is more grace in God’s heart than there is sin in your past. So, this brings us back to the question: What will you choose? Will you receive the truth of Jesus or will you reject it?

Good Friday is the day Jesus was crucified and died for our sins. The truth is, it was good for us, but excruciating for Jesus. Good Friday is actually the darkest day in human history when men murdered God. Why did Jesus die? He was nailed to a Cross, suffered and died for us. He carried all our sins to the Cross and selflessly suffered so that you could be saved and have eternal life! That’s how much He loves you.

On Thursday night, just before His Crucifixion, Jesus wrestled with the reality of his coming Crucifixion. He knew He was going to die. So, he goes to the Garden of Gethsemane and He prays to God “take this cup from me.” He’s asking to be spared the suffering in front of Him. But, then He says “your will be done.” It was a prayer of surrender to God. He asks for what He wants (to be spared the suffering), but ultimately says you know what’s best. And the Holy Spirit then gives Jesus the strength He needs to face the Cross in front of Him. 

How do you apply this to your own life? If there's a situation you are dreading and you just want God to take it away. Take away the cancer, God– I don’t wanna go through chemo! I don’t want to sign these divorce papers– it’s too painful! It’s okay to pray for the pain to pass, but also, surrender and pray “your will be done.” God will anoint you with His power and His peace if you’ll open your hands and surrender.

The Last Supper is the final meal that Jesus shares with his 12 best friends, the disciples. And if we examine what Jesus did during this time together, it reveals to us that Jesus has a plan for your life. The key is that we need to walk alongside Him.

In our Passion Series, we are following in the footsteps of Jesus Christ during the last week of his life and one of the cornerstone events of this week is The Last Supper. Before Jesus shares a meal with his friends, he does something truly scandalous. He kneels down and washes their feet. The God of the Universe serves and honors his followers by washing their feet - a job usually saved for servants.

And this communicates something to us, that we too are guests of honor! When Jesus invites you to his table, he is saying 100% that you are accepted and loved absolutely exactly as you are. You do not have to change a thing to sit down with Jesus. Jesus doesn’t need anything from you, but he does have so much for you. So, how do you invite Jesus to transform your life? Accept His invitation to step into life together. Follow Him daily. Do the things that He does.

So, how will Jesus transform your life? Maybe Jesus wants to replace your angry heart with one filled with peace. Maybe Jesus wants to take doubts and your questions and help you explore a depth of faith you’ve never experienced before. Maybe Jesus wants to see you conquer your feelings of self-inadequacy so that you can embrace who God called you to be. Maybe Jesus has a plan and a future for your life that He can’t even wait for you to discover. What we know for sure is that Jesus has a vision for you and your life, which you can experience if you will walk along with Him.
