What does God’s Word say about the role of a grandparent? On this Grandparents Day, Pastor David explores the biblical “job description” of a grandparent through three examples from Scripture.

Discover what Scripture teaches us about influencing the next generation, building meaningful relationships, and faithfully passing our faith on to those who come after us.

What if the problem isn’t how much we do for God, but why we do it?

In this message, Dr. David P. Espinoza, Jr. explores Matthew 26 and the difference between labor driven by love and labor driven by obligation. Through four different examples, we discover how our effort, motives, source, and results reveal what is really happening in our relationship with God.

What does it really mean to surrender to Jesus? Pastor Israel Velasco shares that surrender is more than changing our behavior. It’s recognizing Jesus as Lord and trusting Him enough to give Him the final say.

In this message, we look a the story of Abraham and Isaac and discover what God may be asking us to place in His hands. Sometimes surrender means letting go. Other times, it means simply giving something to God and trusting Him with the outcome. The goal isn’t just better behavior. It’s full surrender to Jesus as Lord.
