Rev. Dr. Iosmar Alvarez finishes our sermon series, “Evangelism”. Today, we are called to reflect on what it means to live out the Gospel. Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:16 that we should let our light shine before others. Just as a city on a hill cannot be hidden, our lives, illuminated by God's love, should stand as beacons in the darkness.

Rev. Dr. Iosmar Alvarez continues our sermon series, “Evangelism”. Our testimonies hold significant influence and can powerfully impact those around us. In Revelation 12:11, the "word of their testimony" signifies the strength derived from individuals sharing their personal experiences with faith in Christ. These testimonies are a vital means of evangelism, allowing others to see the Gospel's transformative power in our lives.

Rev Dr. Iosmar Alvarez starts our new sermon series, “Evangelism”. Beloved, today we gather to on one of the most profound commands given to us by our Lord Jesus Christ in Matthew 28:19-20: "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." This is not merely a directive; it is the Great Commission, a call to action that reverberates through the ages, urging every believer to embrace the role of evangelism.

Rev Dr. Iosmar Alvarez finishes our sermon series, “Worship as a Lifestyle”. Today, as we gather in the presence of our loving and merciful God, we turn our hearts and minds to a powerful passage from the Apostle Paul's letter to the Romans: Romans 12:1-2. These verses provide a profound insight into what it means to live a life of true sacrificial worship.

Rev Dr. Iosmar Alvarez continues our sermon series, “Worship as a Lifestyle”. In John 4:23-24, Jesus provides a profound teaching on the nature of true worship: "But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people, the Father seeks to be His worshipers. God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." This passage defines the essence of worship, highlighting the necessity of worshiping God not just through external rituals but with our whole being, aligning with His Spirit and His truth.

Guest Pastor Ashlee Adkins continues our sermon series, “Worship as a Lifestyle”. As we actively seek, embrace, and allow God to restore His presence in our lives through repentance, obedience, and gratitude, we will experience transformation, joy, and victory in Him.

Our theme is "The Blessings of Hosting God's Presence," and our focus will be on understanding how Divine Favor, Spiritual Enrichment, and Personal Renewal manifest when we host God's presence in our lives.

Rev. Dr. Iosmar Alvarez calls to set aside dedicated time for personal worship and prayer in the presence of God. To engage in corporate worship with reverence, joy, and humility. And lastly, use music, art, or other creative expressions to worship God in spirit and truth.

Is the bible credible, Is the bible reliable, and is the bible relevant? These are questions that have been asked throughout history but are being asked by more people today, especially by Millennials, Gen Z, and Gen Alpha. We as Christ followers should be able to answer this question because, even though there is evidence that there is a God all around us, the claim of Christ as Messiah comes directly from the recorded scriptures of the bible.
