Maybe you’ve heard someone say that “God called them to the job they are in” and it left you wondering if God has your number because you definitely don’t feel like he called you. What is a calling? And how does God’s calling in your life impact your career choices? In this message, Pastor Steve Garcia helps identify 5 key questions to ask as you are trying to determine God’s calling in your life.

/// God cares more about your OBEDIENCE than your OCCUPATION ///

In a world full of achievements, ladder climbing, 24-hour access to messages and emails, the idea of REST seems like an impossibility. But what if our inability to rest has less to do with our calendars and more to do with our inability to trust in a powerful, loving God? Check out this message by Pastor Anthony Riley about what the Bible has to say about rest. If God rested, maybe we should too!

Which is more important: who you are or what you do? Maybe you are an incredible designer but horrible to people. Maybe you are the nicest chef ever but the food you make is nasty. Pastor Steve encourages us from Colossians 3 to see our work as a balance of INTEGRITY and QUALITY. What if both WHAT WE DO and HOW WE DO IT could reflect Jesus to the people we work with every day.

“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth with a pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.” - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

We all love to read or watch a good story, but most of us don’t really want to live one. Good stories involve heartache and defeating the odds; but to be honest, many of us just want a quiet, predictable, easy life. But what if God is wanting to make your story a GREAT story. How is He using the tragedies, trouble, and transitions in your life to grow you into the person He wants you to be? Check out this message in part 3 of our series GROWN as Pastor Steve shares about how PIVOTAL CIRCUMSTANCES are essential to our spiritual growth.

Sometimes we feel stuck in our spiritual life because we know what God is telling us to do, but we don’t actually want to do it. But that’s where spiritual growth takes place: in that space when I decide that what God HAS for me is better than what I WANT for me. 

Check out this message where Pastor Steve unpacks Exodus 14 and what Personal Obedience looks like in our faith journey.

Have you been looking for your best life and keep coming up disappointed? Maybe you’re looking in all the wrong places. Our culture tells us that the highest form of growth is to learn to become our most authentic self. But in Mark 8, Jesus comes on the scene and totally flips the script. Check out part 1 of our current teaching series, GROWN, where Pastor Steve Garcia encourages us to find purposeful impact in our lives.

Why does it seem like the church is obsessed with the word Gospel? What does that word even mean? Is it even important?

In our final part of our teaching series, Church Talk, Pastor Josh Arana helps us to understand how the Gospel is the good news of Jesus saving us from our sins. This word is not only important for us to live out, but also to share throughout our community to bring people to a relationship with Jesus.
