If God is not visible in the most familiar intimate relationship in our lives then we’re falling short of our potential to display His love. When we respect those around us and lay our lives down in our relationships it’s not about us, but about living and demonstrating God’s covenant love. Today we hear how we are called to show God’s love daily.

If "food and drink...festival or a new moon or a Sabbath" "are of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh," what can we do? In this week's passage, the Apostle Paul gets to the heart of the matter and teaches us what true spirituality looks like. It's a teaching that applies to us all and does so in every way imaginable.

In this Sunday's message, Pastor Ulysses preaches on how it is easy to regress into a habit of legalism. By believing we can earn our right standing with God through following certain rituals or practices, we give the enemy tools to be used against us. It is only by forming and continuing a relationship with Christ through grace and discipline can we maintain our salvation.

When we are willing to take up the cross, there may be suffering and trial. But we can find comfort knowing that suffering in Jesus name gives us purpose and helps us understand a fraction of the afflictions that Jesus experienced. Today we hear that if we want to follow Jesus there is no other road where we can find Him besides the road of the cross and that we can rejoice as we travel this road.

Few passages of Scripture compare to this week's in terms of the majestic picture of Christ that is painted. This grandeur, rightly ascribed, is also of utmost importance when it comes to understanding Jesus' true nature. The better we understand who God is, the more rightly can we follow him as well.

Resurrection is for the present, future, and each day in our lives. It gives us the ability to live through the power of Jesus Christ who rose from the dead. Today, we learn that resurrection is not just a thing of the past or a far off occurrence to come, but that the resurrection remind us each day that God is with us. That even in our pain, God is beside us bearing our suffering.

Before Jesus entered Jerusalem, he told the parable of the ten minas. In today's Palm Sunday sermon, Pastor Ulysses breaks down the meaning and significance of this story. Jesus warns those listening that all fall into one of the following categories: the faithful, the false or the foes. Perhaps it's time to take inventory of your life and think about where you are spending your time, money, and energy. Is it for God or for yourself? We are all given so much by God to steward in this life - what will you do with your "minas?"

In this week's message, Pastor Ulysses concludes our Weak Made Strong series with a discussion on biblical community. Too often in our world, do we have superficial relationships that we discard when things get rough. As Christians we need to realize this inherent brokenness in our relationships and strive towards treating each other with the love and forgiveness Moses demonstrates in Exodus. Instead of starting over, we need to start forgiving, start loving one another.

We’re called to live by the spirit, but our lack of faith leads us to distrust God’s plan and purpose for our lives. We fool ourselves into thinking that our actions are uplifting to Him, but this distorted view brings us further from God and instead we live by our flesh. This week, we're asked to evaluate if there are idols distorting our relationship with God and we learn how to live by the Spirit who is within us to trust more in God.

Glancing at world and domestic events, it's easy to be fraught with worry and fear. What can we do about it? Do we reach inward and rely on our own strength? In this week's continuing Lent series, Pastor Ulysses shows us that Christians have no need for anxiety. We can live our lives full of confidence with an all-powerful and caring God by our side.
