June 08 Hagar, Sarah, and Keturah: Three Seasons, One Covenant, Same God
Hagar, Sarah, and Keturah: three seasons, one covenant, same God.
In this powerful message, Pastor Sam unpacks the seasons represented in Abraham’s journey. Hagar reminds us of what happens when we get ahead of God. Sarah points us back to faith, promise, and divine timing. Keturah reveals the danger of confusing what God permits with what God promised.
No matter what season you have walked through, your mistakes do not cancel God’s miracle. Your Ishmael season does not disqualify you from your Isaac promise. God is still faithful, still present, and still working through the covenant He established.

May 04Can These Bones Live Again? Discern The Noise
What if the noise you hear in your life is not everything falling apart, but God putting everything together?
In this powerful message from the series God Has A Question For You?, Pastor Sam takes us into Ezekiel 37 and the valley of dry bones, where God asks, “Can these bones live again?” Through this prophetic word, we are reminded that the valley does not get the final word, Jesus Christ is the outcome, and what God forms, He fills with His Spirit.
When Ezekiel obeyed and spoke the word of the Lord, there was a rattling noise. Bones came together. Structure returned. Strength was restored. Covering was established. Then the breath of God entered, and what was dead stood up as a great army.
This message will stir your faith to discern the noise, speak what God says, and believe that dry places can live again. The sound you hear may be the beginning of alignment, restoration, revival, and resurrection power in your life.
Key Points:
The valley will not have the final word when you are saved by grace.
In order to change what you see, you have to speak what God says.
The noise you hear may not be the enemy breaking you. It may be God putting things together in your favor.
Every move of God begins with a sound.
When God connects it, God covers it.
God builds in layers: alignment, strength, covering, and then breath.
Form without the Spirit is still functionally dead.
What God forms must be filled by His Spirit in order to function in its intended purpose.
Your destiny is not based on what is in front of you. Your destiny is based on Who is inside of you.
God did not give you life so you could stay seated. He gave you life so you could stand up.
Episode Takeaway:
When God breathes into what looked dead, everything changes. What was scattered comes together. What was weak becomes strong. What was exposed becomes covered. What was lifeless stands up again.

Pastor Sam delivers a powerful Palm Sunday message from Luke 19 that reveals Jesus not just as Savior, but as King. All Hail King Jesus! is a call to see Him clearly, honor Him fully, and respond with the kind of praise that makes room for His presence. This message reminds us that praise is not just celebration. It is surrender, declaration, and preparation for what God is about to do.
• Praise declares the kingship of Christ
• Praise honors God by laying things down
• Praise prepares the way for His presence
• Palm Sunday reveals prophecy fulfilled in Jesus
• Real praise is rooted in surrender
• When Jesus is King, everything else must bow
Listen now and be reminded that when the King enters, everything changes.

March 23 What's In Your Hand?
What happens when God meets you in the middle of your wilderness and asks you to pay attention?
In this powerful message, Pastor Sam Rodriguez unpacks the moment Moses encountered God in the burning bush and reveals how God still speaks in unexpected places, unexpected seasons, and unexpected ways. Before God ever asks, “What’s in your hand?” He first deals with what’s on your feet. This message is a prophetic and practical reminder that God is not intimidated by your past, your pain, or your desert season. He will meet you there, speak to you there, and prepare you there.
If you have been walking through obscurity, struggle, distraction, or spiritual fatigue, this message will encourage you to turn aside, recognize the fire of God’s presence, and surrender every weight that has tried to define you. What did not destroy you may be the very thing God uses to reveal His glory. Your past does not disqualify you. Your wilderness is not wasted. And what you surrender to God will determine what He is able to place in your hands.
This is your moment to take it off so you can pick up everything God has for you.

March 16 What Will You Place In My Hands?
In this message from the series God Has A Question… For You!, Pastor Sam shares a powerful word from the life of Moses and the faith of his mother. Before Moses would ever hold a staff in his hand, his mother placed him in the hands of God.
This message is a reminder that what you surrender to God cannot be destroyed by the enemy. What you place in God’s hands today will determine what God will place in your hand tomorrow. If Pharaoh is after it, heaven has already marked it.
Be encouraged to trust God with your burden, your family, your future, and your calling. What comes back from God’s hands comes back protected, provided for, and promoted.
• Hell attacks what God is about to use
• Deliverance sometimes requires letting go
• What you surrender to God comes back greater
• God protects what you place in His hands
• Obedience always carries a reward

March 09 God Has a Question for You | “Where Are You?”
God Has a Question for You | “Where Are You?”
In Genesis 3, after the fall of humanity, God asks the first question ever directed toward mankind: “Where are you?”
God was not asking Adam for his location. He was calling Adam out of hiding.
In this powerful message, Pastor Sam Rodriguez explores the three questions God asked in the Garden of Eden and why they still echo through history today. These questions were never meant to inform God. They were meant to transform humanity.
Where are you?
Who told you you are naked?
Have you eaten from the forbidden tree?
These questions confront our condition, challenge the voices shaping our identity, and call us to take responsibility for the choices we make. But they also reveal something even greater: the relentless pursuit of a loving God who comes looking for us even when we hide.
Through Scripture and practical application, this message reminds us that God’s questions are not condemnation—they are invitations to restoration. Because of the finished work of Jesus Christ, we no longer have to live in shame, fear, or hiding. Our true identity and our true life are found in Him.
If you can still hear His voice, there is still hope.
Listen now and discover how answering God’s question can lead to healing, freedom, and a restored relationship with Him.

March 02 Where Are You?
In this powerful opening message of the new series God Has A Question… For You?, Pastor Samuel Rodriguez takes us back to the very first question God asked humanity: “Where are you?” (Genesis 3:9).
Before sin, there was no confusion. No shame. No hiding. The garden was filled with clarity, communion, and purpose. Then the serpent introduced doubt with a subtle but dangerous question: “Did God really say…?”
In this message, you will discover:
• Why the first question in Scripture came from the enemy
• How doubt becomes the doorway to disobedience and fractured identity
• The danger of editing what God has already declared
• The difference between being a spiritual consumer and a spiritual producer
• Why God’s question is not condemnation, but invitation
From Eden to Calvary, this sermon reveals a powerful truth: the serpent may have asked the first question, but God always has the final word.
If you’ve been hiding in shame, negotiating with doubt, or living with partial faith, this message is your call back to 100% trust, 100% obedience, and 100% surrender.
The question is not where you are physically.
The question is where you are spiritually.
Answer Him. Step out of hiding. Let grace relocate you back into His presence.
Listen now and share with someone who needs to hear this.

February 23 Focus, Focus, Focus!
In this message, Samuel Rodriguez teaches from Numbers 13–14 and calls the church to a singular command: Focus.
All twelve spies entered the promised land. All twelve saw the same fruit, the same fortified cities, and the same giants. Scripture is clear. The difference was not what they saw, but how they responded. Ten spread a discouraging report in Numbers 13:31–33. Joshua and Caleb declared, “Let’s go at once… we can certainly conquer it!” in Numbers 13:30 and affirmed in Numbers 14:6–9 that the Lord would bring them into the land.
This episode unpacks:
• Why what distinguishes you is not what you see, but what you focus on
• How God is the Promise Keeper who is faithful to fulfill His word 2 Peter 3:9, Hebrews 10:23
• Why every promise is Yes in Christ and belongs to you through Him 2 Corinthians 1:20, Galatians 3:29
• The call to live holy because of His promises 2 Corinthians 7:1
• The difference between a fear-filled majority and a faith-filled minority
• Why you must focus on the Giant inside of you 1 John 4:4, Romans 8:31, Isaiah 54:17
In a culture obsessed with giants, fear, instability, and disruption, this message calls you to become part of the prophetic minority that magnifies God’s presence, power, provision, promotion, protection, and promises.
You will occupy God’s promises when you focus on what others neglect.
This is not denial of the giants.
This is declaration of the Promise.

February 16 The Rubric for Righteous Relationships
Relationship Weekend at New Season Church was real, raw, and transformational.
In this powerful message, Samuel Rodriguez delivers a clear and biblical rubric for righteous relationships whether you are single, dating, or married. With humor, truth, and bold conviction, he unpacks what it truly means to pursue covenant over chemistry and alignment over attraction.
In this episode you will discover
• Why who you marry is the most important decision after salvation
• Why marriage magnifies what dating tolerated
• How your marriage preaches the Gospel without a microphone
• The difference between culture driven relationships and Christ centered covenant
• Why couples who pray together thrive spiritually and even neurologically
From discernment in dating to forgiveness in marriage, this message confronts the lies that sabotage relationships and declares God’s design over your future.
If you are single you will gain clarity.
If you are dating you will gain discernment.
If you are married you will gain alignment.
Your vertical relationship with Christ shapes your horizontal relationships. When two people walk in holiness healing humility and honor they do not just survive they thrive.
This is more than relationship advice. It is a covenant declaration.

February 09The Word Wins
In this powerful and faith-building episode, we unpack a simple football lesson that reveals a profound biblical truth: the game is won when you begin with the Word. Just like every game starts with a kickoff, victory in life begins when you start your day, your decisions, and every season of your life grounded in God’s Word.
Before the phone, before the emails, before social media — begin with the Word. Because when you begin with the Word, you end in victory. Rooted in John 1 and Luke 1:37, this message reminds us that the Word of God never fails — not in crisis, not in uncertainty, not in struggle, and not even in our weakest moments.
Through powerful football analogies, this episode reveals:
Why believers are called to play offense, not defense
How God sometimes places you in “shotgun” — separation for preparation, not punishment
The importance of spiritual protection, renewing your mind, and holding the Word close to your heart
How to overcome life’s tackles without losing possession of your purpose
Why your season of delay may actually be divine alignment
How to hear God clearly and move forward with confidence
The power of praise, faith, and obedience to outmaneuver the enemy
Why 2026 is a year of forward progress, recovery, and victory
You will be encouraged to go deeper in God’s Word, guard your mind, surround yourself with faith-filled believers, and trust that even when life tackles you, if you hold on to the Word, you will rise again.
This episode is a call to step onto the field, stop playing defense, and advance with bold faith — because when you begin with the Word, run with the Word, and live by the Word… the Word wins.
