Jorge Soto walks through the parables of Luke 15 to expose a uncomfortable truth: Christian culture has quietly made family an idol. Like the older brother who couldn't celebrate the return of the lost son, we reserve our love, time, and disciple-making almost exclusively for our own children — while treating those outside our household as optional. Jorge challenges us to stop building "little kin...

In this message, Jorge Soto explores the spiritual discipline of a daily quiet time by tracing the theme of “daily bread” from Exodus 16 through Jesus’ wilderness temptation in Matthew 4. Just as God taught Israel to depend on Him for manna gathered fresh each morning, Jesus models complete dependence on God’s word over physical provision — a lesson that echoes into the Lord’s Prayer and Jesus’ te...

Building on a four-week gospel series, Luke Savage shares “The Word Hand” — a simple five-finger illustration for growing skilled in Scripture. Opening with the image of Solomon’s sixty mighty men, each an expert with his sword, Luke draws the connection to Ephesians 6 and the sword of the Spirit, then walks through each finger: hearing (pinky), reading (ring finger), studying (middle finger), mem...

From Eden’s rest to Egypt’s slavery to the Pharisees’ heavy burdens — humanity has spent history searching for a rest it lost at the Fall. In this message, Jorge traces the theme of yokes and rulers through Scripture: Pharaoh’s yoke of slavery, the Law’s yoke exposed by Paul in Romans 7, and the religious yoke the Pharisees laid on the people. Then we arrive at Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 11 — “T...

What if the heart of humanity’s problem was never just sin, but who we let rule us? In this message, Jorge traces the story of failed leadership from Eden to Egypt to Israel’s demand for a king — and shows how each time, people traded God’s good rule for a counterfeit that promised freedom but delivered slavery. Matthew’s Gospel doesn’t just present Jesus as Savior; it presents him as the Son of D...
