What does a faithful Christian life look like when the world feels chaotic and rushed? In this message, Pastor Macho teaches from 1 Thessalonians and shows how Paul celebrates a church that had no platform, little influence, and constant pressure, yet carried a steady and credible witness. Their faith produced action, their love cost something, and their hope kept them steady. Paul reminds us that God often works in the quiet, in the ordinary, and in the slow work of consistency.

This teaching invites us to embrace three marks of everyday faithfulness. We learn to let our faith change how we live, to turn again toward the God who loves us, and to live grounded and focused lives that speak loudly through quiet integrity. When we choose love in ordinary moments, when we serve with humility, and when we let our daily work become a place of witness, the presence of Jesus becomes visible in our world. Quiet consistency is not small. It is the kind of faithfulness God sees, honors, and uses.

What holds the Church together when the world feels divided? In this message, Pastor Macho continues A Better Witness through Romans 15, where Paul invites believers to live as a community shaped by endurance, encouragement, and hope. Jesus’ prayer for unity in John 17 becomes the backdrop for this call—a reminder that our unity is not for comfort, but for credibility. When followers of Jesus bear with one another, endure together, and worship as one, the gospel becomes visible again in a fractured world.

This teaching calls us to let hope be the glue that binds us across difference and history. Hope is not wishful thinking; it is the fruit of God’s presence among His people. When we choose love over withdrawal, reconciliation over resentment, and worship over worry, we become the kind of community that shows the world what it means to live held together by Christ Himself.

What holds your life together when everything feels like it’s falling apart? In this message, Pastor Erica continues A Better Witness by turning to Colossians and reminding us that only Christ, not culture, can truly be the center that sustains us. Using the image of a Jenga tower, she invites us to consider what happens when the pieces of our lives begin to shift. When our identity is built on fragile foundations, anxiety and striving take over. But when Christ is at the center, He holds all things together and gives us peace that cannot be shaken.

This teaching calls us to resist the pressure to define ourselves by culture and instead anchor our lives in who Jesus is. We are chosen, loved, and invited to live differently—clothed in compassion, humility, and gratitude. When Christ is our foundation, our lives become steady reflections of His love in a world that is always shifting.

What if the places we see as weakness are actually where the power of Christ becomes visible? In this message, Pastor Macho continues our A Better Witness series through Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians. We discover that faith shaped by Jesus doesn’t hide its cracks—it lets the light shine through them.

When Paul writes that “we have this treasure in jars of clay,” he reminds us that God’s power is revealed not through polish or perfection, but through dependence. The gospel’s beauty shows up in ordinary, fragile lives sustained by grace.

This teaching invites us to stop striving to look strong and instead embrace the truth that our humanity is not a liability. It’s the place where Christ dwells. Because when weakness becomes witness, the world sees what real strength looks like.

Teaching: Pastor Erica LaraWhat does unity look like when it’s shaped by the Spirit of Christ? In this message, Pastor Erica continues our series A Better Witness by exploring Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians about a community learning to love across differences. We discover that unity in Christ is not about sameness or avoiding tension, but about choosing connection over correction.

Through small acts of reconciliation, we learn to listen, forgive, and build bridges that reflect the love of Jesus. And when we display Christlike love in public spaces, the world sees a better way to live together. This teaching calls us to be people marked by humility, gentleness, and love that holds us together as one body in Christ.

What does freedom look like when it’s shaped by love? In this message, Pastor Erica continues our series A Better Witness by exploring Paul’s words in Galatians about life in the Spirit. We discover that freedom in Christ is not a license for self-focus but an invitation to love and serve others.
Through the fruits of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, and gentleness—we see how true freedom is revealed not in control or moral superiority, but in sacrificial service and Spirit-shaped character. This teaching calls us to practice radical neighbor-love, choosing humility, generosity, and compassion in everyday life so that our witness reflects the heart of Jesus.

This teaching invites us to step into that calling... closing the gap between confession and conduct, practicing humility together, and reflecting Jesus in ways our neighbors can see.
