[Predicas | Sermons] de/of Carlos Concepcion Jr

What if what you’ve been asking God for is something He’s already placed in your hands? In this message from Romans 12:3–8 , I close out our Your Part Matters series by looking at the gifts God has entrusted to each of us. Our gifts aren’t about status, recognition, or proving our importance—they are expressions of God’s grace that we’ve been called to steward faithfully. Sometimes we’re waiting f...

What if one of the strongest things you could admit is, “I need other people”? In Part 2 of our Your Part Matters series, I preach from 1 Corinthians 12:12–27 about God’s design for His church as one body with many different parts. We weren’t created to compete, compare, or convince ourselves that we can do everything alone. Your difference doesn’t mean you don’t belong, and your importance doesn’...

Have you ever wondered where you fit or whether what you bring really matters? In Week 1 of our Your Part Matters series, I preach from Ephesians 2:8–10 about the purpose attached to the grace we’ve received. We are not saved by good works, but we are saved for good works. God has been working for us, He is working in us, and He desires to work through us. Your purpose doesn’t have to look like so...

Hay temporadas donde lo más difícil no es comenzar, sino volver a intentarlo después de una decepción. En este mensaje, “Hazlo Otra Vez,” basado en Lucas 5:1–11, comparto sobre Pedro después de una noche de mucho esfuerzo y ningún resultado. Jesús lo encuentra cansado, con las redes vacías, y le pide precisamente lo que probablemente menos quería hacer: volver a intentarlo. Quizás tú también has e...

What if the thing you've been waiting on was never meant to be the answer? In this message, we open John 5:1-9 and sit with a man who spent thirty-eight years beside a pool that never moved for him — until Jesus walked past it entirely. This message will challenge the way you've been framing your prayers and shifts how you see unanswered waiting. You'll walk away understanding why matu...

What are you doing with what Jesus has already said? In the final part of our Summer on the Mount series, we walk through Matthew 7:13–27 and Jesus’ closing challenge in the Sermon on the Mount. He puts two roads before us, two foundations beneath us, and reminds us that the choices we make today are taking us somewhere. The road you choose determines where you end up, and what you build on determ...

In Part 3 of our Summer on the Mount series, we walk through Matthew 6 and discover that what we seek, what we treasure, and what we trust reveal what is actually ruling our hearts. Jesus challenges us to examine the audience we're living for, the things we've allowed to own too much of us, and the worries that keep pulling tomorrow into today. Because whatever consistently holds our atten...

¿Qué tal si el verdadero problema no es la línea que cruzaste, sino lo que estaba sucediendo en tu corazón antes de llegar a ella? En este mensaje de Mateo 5:17–48, descubrimos que la justicia del Reino va más allá del comportamiento externo. Jesús confronta nuestro enojo, nuestros deseos, nuestra integridad y hasta la manera en que respondemos cuando nos hieren, porque Él no solo quiere cambiar l...

What if the real issue isn’t the line you crossed, but what was happening in your heart before you ever got there? In this message from Matthew 5:17–48, we discover that Kingdom righteousness goes beyond outward behavior. Jesus confronts our anger, desires, integrity, and even how we respond when we’ve been hurt — because He doesn’t just want to change what we do; He wants to transform who we are.

What if the life Jesus calls you to isn't something you have to manufacture — it's something you already carry? In this message, we open Matthew 5:1-16 and sit with Jesus on the mountainside as He reframes everything. Before He gives a single command, He speaks identity. The Beatitudes aren't a checklist for the spiritually elite — they're a portrait of people whose hearts have sur...

What do you do when you can't go back, can't stay, and can't yet see forward? In this message, we step into one of Scripture's most dramatic moments — Exodus 14:10-16 — where the Israelites stood between an impossible sea and an advancing army, and somehow forgot every miracle they had just witnessed. Sound familiar? You'll walk away with a clearer understanding of why fear dis...

What if the thing God is trying to show you is the very thing you're most convinced you already understand? In this message, we dig into Acts 9:1-9 and the moment a blinding light stopped Saul cold on the road to Damascus. Saul wasn't lazy or indifferent — he was passionate, educated, and completely wrong. That combination is more dangerous than most of us realize, and more common than any...

What if the path leading you backward is actually the path forward? In this message, we sit with one of Scripture's most stunning reversals — Joseph standing before the brothers who sold him into slavery, choosing grace over revenge after twenty years of suffering. Drawing from Genesis 45 and 46, this message unpacks why God sometimes leads us back before He leads us forward, and why the detou...

¿Y si lo que estás sintiendo no es la historia completa? En este mensaje, el Pastor Carlos nos lleva a Salmos 42:5 para recordarnos algo que muchos sabemos pero pocos practicamos: los sentimientos son buenos indicadores, pero pésimos directores. Vas a salir de este mensaje con tres ideas concretas — cómo evitar que una emoción se convierta en tu residencia, cómo dejarle a la fe la última palabra,...

What if God brought you to the promised land and someone else was already living there? That's exactly what Abram faced — and it's the tension millions of believers quietly carry today. In this episode drawn from Genesis 11:31 and 12:1–9, we explore what it looks like to live faithfully between the promise God has spoken and the process He's using to shape you for it. You'll walk a...

Over the last five weeks, we've walked through The Life You Didn't Expect. We've talked about disappointment, burdens, endurance, and becoming the person God is still building. But as we close this series, I believe there's one final lesson every one of us needs to hear: You don't have to carry it alone. In this message from 2 Corinthians 1:3–11, we discover that God is not onl...

Life may not have turned out the way you expected. The road may have been harder, longer, and more complicated than you imagined. And if we're honest, many of us spend too much time focusing on who we thought we'd be instead of recognizing who God is still shaping us to become. In Part 4 of The Life You Didn't Expect , we explore a powerful truth from Psalm 78: God is not looking for p...

What do you do when the road gets longer than expected? In Part 3 of The Life You Didn’t Expect , we explore one of the greatest challenges of faith: perseverance. Through Hebrews 11 and 12, we're reminded that faith isn't about having all the answers or seeing the entire picture. It's about trusting God enough to take the next step and keeping our eyes on Jesus when the race becomes d...

There are some burdens in life we never planned for. Some weights we never wanted to carry. Some seasons that lasted far longer than we expected. In this message, The Weight You Never Asked For , we talk about what it means to keep moving forward when God hasn't removed the burden yet. Looking at 2 Corinthians 4, we're reminded that our hope is not found in having a trouble-free life, but...

What do you do when life doesn't become the life you expected? In this message, we begin a brand-new series called The Life You Didn't Expect by exploring the story of Leah—a woman who knew disappointment, rejection, and unmet expectations all too well. Together, we'll discover how disappointment can affect our identity, why we often look to people for what only God can provide, and ho...

In this Pentecost Sunday message, “The Day Heaven Spoke Back,” we explore how Babel introduced confusion, division, and pride—but Pentecost became heaven’s response through the Holy Spirit. This message is about more than tongues and fire; it’s about the Spirit bringing clarity where there was confusion, connection where there was division, and power where there had been silence. If you’ve ever fe...

Pressure has a way of revealing what comfort never could. In this message from Judges 7, we look at how God used pressure, reduction, and uncertainty to form Gideon and the 300 for victory. Sometimes the season that feels like it’s breaking you is actually the season God is building you. If you’ve been carrying pressure mentally, emotionally, spiritually, or financially, this message will remind y...

Before Moses ever held a staff… somebody held him first. In this Mother’s Day message, Pastor Carlos walks through the story of Jochebed in Exodus 2 and reminds us that some of the greatest things God does publicly are shaped by hidden sacrifices privately. This message honors the hands that carried, protected, prayed, nurtured, and trusted God through difficult seasons. Whether you’re a mother, s...

There are things people have done to you… that you didn’t deserve. And if we’re honest, there are also things you’ve done to others… that you wish you could take back. In this message, Release The Debt , we continue The Forgiveness Cycle by stepping into one of the hardest parts of the Christian life—not receiving forgiveness, but giving it. Because unforgiveness doesn’t just affect them… it affec...

En este episodio comparto el mensaje “Vi Algo Diferente” basado en Números 13. No todos ven lo mismo cuando enfrentan la misma situación—unos ven gigantes, pero otros ven la promesa de Dios. A través de la historia de los espías, exploramos cómo la perspectiva correcta puede cambiar nuestro futuro. Este mensaje te retará a dejar de mirar desde el miedo y comenzar a ver desde la fe. Porque lo que v...
