Who’s really in charge of your life?

In week four of our Brand New series, Mingo Palacios walks through Romans 6 and shows that following Jesus isn’t just about forgiveness—it’s about a transfer of allegiance. We all serve something or someone. The question is: who are you giving your life to?

Romans 6:14 reminds us of this powerful truth: sin is no longer your master… you are under grace.

This message unpacks what it looks like to live under a new allegiance:

• From Rules to Relationship

The law demands obedience through rules, but grace invites allegiance through relationship with Jesus.

• Everyone Serves Something

Whether we realize it or not, we all surrender to something—sin, success, approval, control, or Christ.

• What You Obey Gains Momentum

The habits and choices you say “yes” to will shape the direction of your life.

• Freedom Isn’t Neutral

Jesus didn’t just set you free from sin—He set you free for a new life of righteousness.

• Your Choices Have Outcomes

Sin leads to death. Obedience leads to life, growth, and ultimately eternal life in Christ.

Mingo challenges us with a clear picture:

You’re not drifting through life—you’re following something.

And the good news is this:

You don’t have to live under your old master anymore.

In Jesus, you’ve been set free to live a brand new life with a brand new allegiance.

During a powerful Mother’s Day celebration, Pastor Mingo Palacios invites us to experience the story of the woman with the issue of blood through a fresh and deeply personal perspective. For years, this woman endured pain, isolation, disappointment, and hopelessness, yet she refused to let her condition define her future. Instead, her relentless faith and determination to reach Jesus became the very key to her healing and transformation.

Her story is more than a moment of physical healing—it is a profound reminder of what happens when we pursue Christ with unwavering faith. In the midst of struggle, uncertainty, and brokenness, her encounter with Jesus reveals that miracles are still possible for those who refuse to give up. Through her testimony, we are encouraged to believe that our pursuit of God can lead to restoration, breakthrough, healing, and renewed hope in every area of life.

This message serves as a powerful encouragement that when we press through fear, pain, and obstacles to seek Christ wholeheartedly, His presence has the power to transform not only our personal lives, but also our families, relationships, and future.

Do you know what you really have in Christ?

In week three of our Brand New series, Pastor Mingo Palacios teaches from Romans 6 and reminds us that many followers of Jesus live unaware of the power, freedom, and identity they already have through Him. Like a family who used a gold nugget as a doorstop without realizing its value, we can know about Jesus—but miss the life-changing reality of being made brand new.

Romans 6 answers a big question: If God’s grace is so great, should we just keep sinning? Paul’s answer is clear—By no means. Why? Because grace doesn’t just forgive us. Grace transforms us.

This message unpacks what it means to have a new identity in Christ:

• We Died to Sin

Sin is no longer your master. It no longer has authority over your life.

• We Were Raised with Christ

When you put your faith in Jesus, your old life was buried and you were raised into something new.

• We Are Freed from Sin’s Power

The struggle may still be real, but sin does not have the final say.

• We Have New Life Now and Forever

Because Jesus defeated death, you can experience spiritual life today and eternal life forever.

Pastor Mingo also shares how to live out this new identity:

Stop treating grace casually

Stay in the fight against sin

Don’t let old patterns take over again

Dedicate every part of your life to God

Remember who you are in Christ

You are not who you used to be.

You are not defined by your old self.

You are not powerless.

What have you inherited—and what can Jesus make brand new?

In week two of our Brand New series, Noah Carlisle teaches from Romans 5 and reveals the contrast between two legacies: what we inherit in Adam, and what we receive in Jesus. Some patterns may have been passed down to us through family, culture, or pain—but they do not have to define our future.

This message explores the powerful truth that in Adam we inherit:

• Sin

Anything less than God’s best for our lives.

• Separation

Brokenness between us and God, and between us and others.

• Shame

The pressure to hide, pretend, or perform.

• Death

The spiritual and physical consequences of sin.

But in Jesus, we receive a brand new inheritance:

• Salvation from Sin

Grace is greater than our failures.

• Close Relationship with God

We are welcomed into the family of God.

• Freedom from Shame

We no longer have to hide—we can be healed.

• Brand New Life

The same power that raised Jesus can transform us today.

Noah also shares practical ways to break free from patterns that have held us back:

Bring shame into the light

Speak truth louder than lies

Let God transform your hurt so you don’t transfer it

Make peace where it is within your power

Keep praying bold prayers in the name of Jesus

No matter what has been handed down to you, the power of Jesus is greater.

You are not stuck.

You are not your past.

You are not limited to old patterns.

In Christ, you belong to a new family and a new future.

In week one of our Brand New series, Daniel Scotti walks through Romans 5 and shows how the death and resurrection of Jesus didn’t just inspire a movement—they made a whole new way of life possible. Because of Jesus, we are not just improved… we are made brand new.

This message unpacks powerful truths like:

• Justified Through Faith

We are made right with God not by performance, religion, or trying harder—but by trusting in Jesus.

• Peace With God

Because of Christ, we move from outsiders to family, from enemies to reconciliation, from guilt to peace.

• Standing in Grace

God’s love is not something we earn. In Jesus, we now live in His favor, acceptance, and unshakable grace.

• Hope for Today and Tomorrow

Biblical hope is more than wishful thinking. It is confident assurance that God is with us now and has a future for us.

• A New Perspective in Suffering

Pain doesn’t have to harden us. God can use even our hardest seasons to form perseverance, character, and deeper hope.

At the center of it all is this life-changing truth:

While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

This is the unconditional, proactive love of God. Jesus went first, and He went all the way so we could have new life.

It’s possible to say all the right things about Jesus… and still miss what it actually means to follow Him.

In Week 4 of our series Questions Jesus Asked, Mingo Palacios unpacks one of Jesus’ most direct and challenging questions from :

“Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things I say?” (Luke 6:46)

This isn’t a question about what we say we believe. It’s a question about how we live.

In this message, we explore:

The Gap Between Words and Actions

It’s easy to claim faith—but Jesus is after something deeper than outward expression.

What It Really Means for Jesus to Be Lord

If Jesus is truly Lord, it doesn’t just change what we say—it transforms how we live.

Why Obedience Is an Expression of Love

Jesus makes it clear: loving Him isn’t just about devotion—it’s about following His ways.

How to Recognize Real Faith by Its Fruit

Our lives produce something. The question is—does it reflect the character of Jesus?

Building a Life That Withstands Storms

A life rooted in hearing and doing Jesus’ words creates a foundation that holds when life gets hard.

This message is an invitation to move beyond surface-level faith into a real, lived-out relationship with Jesus—one that is visible, transformative, and rooted deep.

Because when Jesus is truly Lord…

it changes how you live, what your life produces, and how you stand when storms come.

Following Jesus isn’t always easy. In fact, sometimes His words are hard to hear.

In Week 3 of our series Questions Jesus Asked, Mingo Palacios unpacks a powerful and personal question from Jesus in :

“You do not want to leave too, do you?” (John 6:67)

After a crowd of followers walked away from Jesus because His teaching felt too difficult, too offensive, or too demanding, Jesus turns to His closest disciples and asks them to decide: Are you staying… or leaving too?

In this message, we explore:

Why People Walk Away from Jesus

Not because His teaching is confusing—but because it challenges our expectations, control, and comfort.

Four “Hard Truths” That Still Push People Away Today

Jesus won’t be used for our personal or political agendas

He offers more than temporary, physical solutions—He meets deeper spiritual needs

He is bigger than our limited understanding

He calls for full surrender, not partial commitment

The Danger of Shallow Faith

Like the parable of the seed, faith without roots can’t last when life gets hard.

The Invitation to Stay

When everything feels uncertain, Peter responds with clarity:

“Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.”

This message is a call to examine your faith—not just whether you believe in Jesus, but whether you’re truly following Him.

Because at some point, we all have to answer the question:

Will I keep walking with Jesus… even when it’s hard?

Everyone has opinions about Jesus. But at some point, the question becomes personal.

In Week 2 of our series Questions Jesus Asked, Maya Mendez explores one of the most important questions Jesus ever asked His disciples: “Who do you say I am?” (Matthew 16:15). Surrounded by competing voices, beliefs, and identities in Caesarea Philippi, Jesus challenged His followers to move beyond public opinion and answer for themselves.

That question still confronts us today.

In this message, we unpack:

Why Everyone Has an Opinion About Jesus

Culture often reduces Jesus to a teacher, philosopher, or moral example—but the Gospel claims something far greater.

When the Question Becomes Personal

Jesus moves the conversation from what others think to what you believe.

Peter’s Defining Moment of Faith

“You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Recognizing who Jesus is changes everything.

Why Surrender Is So Hard

Following Jesus means letting Him define truth, identity, and direction in our lives.

How Our Identity Is Found in Christ

When we settle the question of who Jesus is, we begin to discover who we are—loved, known, and created with purpose.

Faith isn’t just agreeing with facts about Jesus. It’s responding to His invitation to follow Him.

Because the way you answer Jesus’ question—“Who do you say I am?”—shapes your identity, your purpose, and your future.

What are you really looking for in life?

In Week 1 of our new series Questions Jesus Asked, Daniel Scotti explores one of the very first questions Jesus asked His followers: “What are you seeking?” (John 1:38). Throughout the Gospels, Jesus asked powerful questions—not because He didn’t know the answers, but because His questions reveal what’s happening in our hearts.

In this message, we discover how the questions Jesus asked help us reflect on our desires, identity, decisions, obedience, surrender, and hope. These questions invite us to move beyond surface-level faith and examine what we truly want and where we’re searching for it.

In this message, we explore:

The Different Types of Questions Jesus Asked

Factual questions, interpretive questions, and deeper evaluative questions that reveal the condition of our hearts.

The Question That Starts It All: “What Are You Seeking?”

Jesus invites us to identify the desires that are shaping our lives.

How to Recognize What You’re Really Pursuing

Your time, money, conversations, and attention often reveal what your heart is seeking.

Why What You’re Searching For Is Actually Searching For You

Jesus invites us not just to answers, but into relationship.

The Invitation of Jesus: “Come and See”

Jesus doesn’t just give explanations—He gives invitations to experience life with Him.

Like the treasure hidden in a field or a pearl of great value, the kingdom of God is worth everything. When we discover Jesus for who He truly is, it reshapes what we seek and what we value most.

Shame has a way of making us feel like we need to hide from God. But what if the very places we want to conceal are the places Jesus wants to meet us most?

In Week 3 of Uncomplicate It, Mingo Palacios walks through the powerful story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman in John 4 — a moment where Jesus steps directly into someone’s shame, not to condemn her, but to heal her and change her future.

This message reminds us that the barriers we believe disqualify us from God are often the very places where His grace is most at work.

In this message, we explore:

• The Roadblocks Shame Creates (Feeling like we’re the wrong person, in the wrong place, with too messy a past)

• Jesus’ Invitation to Living Water (A relationship with God that isn’t based on performance or perfection)

• Why We Don’t Have to Hide (Jesus meets us fully knowing our story and still offers grace)

• How Healing Happens in the Light (Confession, prayer, and community open the door to freedom)

Just like the Samaritan woman, when we allow Jesus to meet us in our shame, it not only changes us — it becomes a testimony that can change others too.
