Pastor Chris challenges us to break out of the "enclosures" we’ve built for ourselves, using the powerful story of a captive tiger that kept pacing in small circles even after it was released into the wild,. He argues that a "victim mentality" is the most dangerous trap for a Christian because it causes us to reject responsibility and surrender the authority God has given us. By looking at the lame man at the pool of Bethesda, he encourages us to stop making excuses for our past pain and start changing our agreement with what the enemy says about our future. It’s time to put on your spiritual "uniform" and take the steps of faith that seem impossible in your own strength.

"If your past pain has become your present identity and your future excuse, you probably have a victim mentality".

Excited to introduce our new series, Gratitude, beginning with the message "Grateful for Family!" Pastor Chris Lodriguss offers a challenging look at 1 Thessalonians 5:18, defining biblical gratitude (eukaristas) as the thankful recognition of God's grace (charis) in all circumstances. He reminds us that we have zero control over the family we are born into—it’s the sovereignty of God—and encourages us to look for His grace revealed even in the hardest parts of our family history. Every thought God wrote in the story of your life is precious because He wrote a way for Himself to be revealed in it. Stop fighting God’s sovereignty, look for His grace, and remember that our Kingdom family (the household of God) means we are all family, just like a biological brother or sister.

Are you truly seeing the people around you, or are you just Seeing Trees? In this prophetic message, Chris dives into Mark 8, where Jesus heals a blind man, to reveal why seeing people correctly is the central requirement for ministry. He highlights important lessons, including why Jesus led the blind man out of the village (sometimes God has to get you away from unbelievers) and why the healing required a second touch. Chris challenges us to examine if we are viewing people as the favored (people we like), the frustrating (people we want to dismiss because they disagree or annoy us), or the forgotten (people we drive past daily, oblivious to their need). If you aren't leading anyone to Jesus, you might be seeing trees. Learn the secret to regaining clear vision: allowing God to touch you again so you can shift from just receiving to serving others with true compassion.

What’s the point of church?

Today, we welcome guest speaker Pastor Rick Paladin of Bridge City Church in Pittsburg, PA, as he delivers his message, "Full of Love," at The Tabernacle Church.

Pastor Rick dives straight into the big question: Are you letting church become just a routine, or is it an intentional thing God uses in your life? He uses the hilarious and relatable analogy of an old car with a glowing "check engine light"—if you simply turn the light off without fixing the issue, your car is a ticking time bomb. In the same way, we can't just come to church to get the light off; we must be restored to the image of God.

The big idea for the church is to continue to be a place that is healthy, growing, and full of love. Discover what it truly means to live out this love—a love that is wide (relational), long (missional), deep (in God's word), and height (in worship).

If you are a seeker, a disciple, or feeling hopeless, this message is for you. The world is waiting for the church, so it’s time to move your feet and let God heal and activate your faith so you can get to work.
