Tom Logue - February 8th 2026

The kingdom of heaven belongs to the needy, the unwanted, and the desperate who keep showing up.

This week, Tom continues our King and His Kingdom series in Matthew 20:1–16, where Jesus tells the parable of the workers in the vineyard. Through this story, Tom reveals both a window into the kingdom and a mirror for our hearts. The landowner represents a God who relentlessly goes out Himself, again and again, seeking people in need—not just the skilled or impressive, but the overlooked, unwanted, and desperate.

Tom shows how this parable confronts our instinct to hide need, perform strength, and compare ourselves to others. The workers who waited all day did so because they were desperate—and the landowner pays them a full day’s wage because God knows what we need and He is a generous provider. Grace, Tom reminds us, is never fair. God is never unfair except to Himself. The cross stands as the ultimate proof that heaven operates on a different scoreboard than earth—one that values hearts over resumes and humility over entitlement.

This message invites us to stop pretending everything is fine, to bring our needs honestly before God, and to trust the King whose generosity far exceeds what we could ever earn. The question Jesus leaves us with is simple and searching: Are we jealous or joyful when God is gracious?

Money reveals who’s really on the throne of your life—and Jesus invites us to trade control for something far better.

In this message from The King & His Kingdom series, we continue through Matthew 19:23–30, where Jesus confronts the deep spiritual power of money. Using vivid illustrations—from MRI scans to investment returns—Tom shows how wealth can quietly replace God as king, and why Jesus says it’s hard for the rich to enter the kingdom of heaven.

This sermon explores why money is not evil, but dangerous; how it exposes our true allegiances; and why shifting our trust from wealth to Jesus is humanly impossible—but fully possible with God. Most importantly, we’re invited to see the kingdom of heaven as the greatest investment imaginable: one that yields eternal life, true freedom, and a hundredfold return.

Jarek Berga - January 25th 2025

When fear gives people more weight than God, idolatry quietly takes root.

In this message, Jarek pauses our journey through Matthew to walk us through Exodus 32, the story of the golden calf. Rather than treating idolatry as an ancient or obvious sin, Jarek exposes how fear subtly reshapes our worship today—especially when the voices of people begin to carry more weight than the voice of God. When the vertical relationship with God fades, the horizontal pressures of approval, performance, and independence grow until people feel like giants and obedience feels impossible.

Through the contrast between Aaron and Moses, we see two very different responses to pressure. Aaron edits God’s word to calm the crowd, preserving peace at the cost of obedience. Moses, however, goes to God for the people, interceding rather than compromising. This distinction becomes the heart of the message: fear elevates people above God, but love brings people before God.

The sermon ultimately points us to Jesus, our greater High Priest, who succeeds where Aaron and Moses fail. While we often cave, stay silent, or resist authority, Jesus always lives to intercede for us. He pleads our case before the Father, restores proper perspective, and frees us from the exhausting burden of seeking approval or defending independence. As His voice becomes the loudest in our lives, people return to their proper size—and God returns to His rightful place.

Vincent Latteri - January 18th 2026

Agape love is not a feeling to fall into—it’s a gift to receive and a life to live.

This week, Vinnie teaches from 1 John 4:7–11, unpacking the most central theme in all of Scripture: love. Not the fragile, emotional version our culture often celebrates, but agape love—the selfless, sacrificial love that originates in God Himself. Vinnie carefully defines what love is (and what it isn’t), showing that true love is a choice of selfless, compassionate action, not merely an emotion that comes and goes.

Through personal stories, humor, and Scripture, he walks us through three essential questions: What is love? How do we get it? And how do we give it? The answer is both simple and confronting—agape love is a gift from God, freely given through Jesus, but one we must choose to fully accept, not merely acknowledge. Vinnie draws a powerful distinction between receiving the gift and accepting it, warning how easily we can know about God’s love without allowing it to transform every area of our lives.

The message crescendos with the gospel itself: while we were enemies, God chose us. The cross was not accidental—it was universe-altering love in action. And as we accept that love more deeply, it inevitably overflows into how we love one another. This sermon invites us to stop setting the gift on the shelf, to receive Jesus fully, and to become people marked by the same agape love the world is desperate to see.

Tom Logue - January 11th 2026

When we stop listening and obeying, we wander — but prayer shows us the way forward.

This week, Tom pauses our King and His Kingdom series to bring a prophetic and pastoral message rooted in Exodus 15 and Numbers 13–14, asking a piercing question the Lord placed on his heart: Why did God’s people wander in the wilderness? Though the journey from Egypt to the Promised Land should have taken days, Israel wandered for forty years because they chose complaint over trust and fear over obedience. Through the stories of Moses, Caleb, Joshua, and the people of Israel, Tom shows how forgetting what God is capable of leads to fear, rebellion, and spiritual drifting.

The message presses closer to home as Tom reminds us that this is not just Israel’s story — it’s ours. When we stop listening to God and obeying His voice, we wander relationally, spiritually, and communally. Drawing a powerful modern analogy and tying it to the life of prayer, Tom calls the church to build their lives around ongoing, relational prayer, not occasional moments. Prayer is not a religious task — it’s the way we stay close to God, avoid wandering, and walk faithfully toward the Promised Land.

As we step into a new year, this sermon invites every listener to examine their life honestly: Are we walking with God, or wandering without Him? The invitation is clear and hopeful — return to prayer, trust the Lord’s leadership, and walk forward together into the fullness of His kingdom.

Mike Harrelson - January 4th 2026

Confidence in the Lord comes from making your one thing the first thing.

In this New Year message, Mike leads us through Psalm 27, where David models a confidence that is not rooted in certainty of circumstances, but in clarity of desire. Surrounded by adversity, threat, and uncertainty, David anchors his life around a single request: to dwell in the house of the Lord and gaze upon His beauty. Mike shows how life’s uneasiness—fear, distraction, anxiety, coping mechanisms, and unanswered questions—often reveal what we’ve made our “one thing.”

This message explores how beauty calms the soul, why creation alone cannot satisfy our deepest longings, and how the beauty of redemption—fulfilled fully in Christ—transforms us as we behold Him. Drawing connections from the Garden of Eden to the tabernacle, from David to Mary and Martha, and ultimately to Jesus Himself, Mike calls us to reorder our lives around intentional presence with God, not transaction or multitasking.

As we step into a new year filled with uncertainty, this sermon invites us to stop striving for answers and instead pursue access to a Person. When we make Jesus our one thing, confidence rises—not because life is easy, but because He is with us, lifting our heads above every hardship.

Jarek Berga - December 28th 2025

Grace is a fire already burning—your role is not to earn it, but to draw near.

On the final Sunday of 2025, Jarek pauses our journey through Matthew to bring a timely word from Romans 4, helping us understand how anyone—respectable or suspicious—finds their place in God’s family. Using the image of a beach bonfire, Jarek shows how God’s grace is not something we start or sustain, but something we are invited to step toward. The warmth, visibility, and transformation all depend on proximity—not performance.

Walking through the lives of Abraham and David, this message reveals three gospel realities: God’s desire is to welcome the ungodly, God’s design is faith rather than self-reliance, and the Father’s delight is a family that makes room for one another. Abraham trusted a promise he could not see. David stopped hiding and told the truth. Both discovered that righteousness is credited as a gift, not a wage.

This sermon challenges both the openly broken and the quietly respectable to drop their coverings—achievement, morality, image management—and step into the light of grace. As God welcomes us freely, we are called to welcome others the same way, scooting closer to the fire and making space at the table. The gospel is not about earning a seat, but receiving one—and then inviting others to join us in the warmth of God’s love.

Tom Logue - December 14th 2025

What you value most will determine who your master is.

This week, Tom continues our King and His Kingdom series in Matthew 19:16–22 with Jesus’ encounter with the rich young ruler. Through a simple “this or that” exercise and a deeply personal exposition of the text, Tom shows how our everyday choices reveal what we truly value—and ultimately, what we worship. While the young man appears moral, successful, and spiritually sincere, Jesus exposes the deeper issue of his heart: eternal life cannot be earned, and his wealth has become a rival master.

Tom unpacks how Jesus intentionally lists only the commandments related to loving others, then lovingly confronts the man’s idolatry through a custom-tailored invitation. When we genuinely engage with God, He inevitably invites us to let go of lesser masters—money, control, approval, comfort—and follow Him instead. These invitations are not just tests; they are the keys to freedom.

In a powerful Advent connection, Tom shows how Jesus practices what He preaches: Christ Himself let go of the riches of heaven, gave His life to the spiritually poor, and now invites us to say yes to the only Master who leads to life. This message calls us to examine our ruling gods, receive the gift of grace, and joyfully say, “Yes, Master,” to Jesus alone.

Tom Logue - December 7th 2025

The blessing of God flows to the needy, the humble, and the childlike who come to Jesus.

This week, Tom continues our King and His Kingdom series in Matthew 19:13–15, where parents bring their children to Jesus for Him to lay His hands on them and pray. Drawing deeply from Scripture, Tom teaches on the biblical pattern of laying on of hands—how throughout the Bible God transfers wisdom, healing, empowerment, spiritual gifts, and the Holy Spirit through ordinary people who make themselves available. He challenges us not to decline the blessing God wants to give because we avoid the means through which He gives it.

Tom also unpacks the difference between childishness and childlikeness: childishness is impulsive, self-focused, prideful, and tantrum-prone—while childlikeness is marked by humility, dependence, awe, wonder, trust, and quick forgiveness. Jesus says the kingdom belongs to people like this.

We were made for the kingdom the way fish were made for water; when we exit it through pride or self-reliance, we spiritually suffocate under anxiety, fear, bitterness, or despair. But Jesus wants the needy to come to Him—He delights to bless, touch, heal, and restore His children. Tom calls every listener—parent, youth, child, and spiritually suffocating adult—to come back into God’s presence, receive blessing, and breathe again.

Mike Harrelson - November 30th 2025

Jesus still invites ordinary people to “come and see” who He truly is.

In this message, Mike invites us into the heart of evangelism—not as a pressured task for “professionals,” but as a simple, relational invitation to “come and see” Jesus. Through his own story of searching, doubt, near-death moments, and finally encountering Jesus in Scripture, Mike shows how God uses ordinary people and ordinary conversations to reveal Himself in extraordinary ways.

We looked at the story of Philip and Nathaniel in John 1 and how Jesus meets people personally, sees us fully, and knows us deeply. Mike cast vision for our church entering a season of prayer and invitation as we prepare to launch Alpha Temecula in February 2026—a safe place for exploring life, faith, and the person of Jesus.

This message calls our church to pray boldly, love people well, and trust Jesus with the work only He can do. There is no one like Him, and there is no greater gift we can give than an invitation to meet Him.
