Now, in chapter 17, Jesus does something remarkable. He takes the time to pray with his disciples. Why is this remarkable? We all pray, we know Jesus prayed a lot so what’s the big deal? Prayer is a familiar theme throughout the Gospels. Jesus talks about prayer, he gives lessons on prayer, but most of the time, when we see Jesus pray, he goes off alone, to a quiet place, away from everyone else t...

What does it mean to made in the Image of God? Does the Gospel truly transform lives? Many Christians feel like they have a good foundation for these questions but when applied to sexual identity and homosexuality we have questions and doubts. Drew Berryessa is a very unique voice in this conversation and challenges believers to believe in the gospels transforming in all areas of life including se...

Today, as Jesus is preparing to be crucified and brutally killed on a cross, he tells us how we can live lives that matter…lives that are meaningful and lives that produce maximum impact according to his design and will for us.

Friends, when you encounter the love of Christ you are changed. It is really easy for me to see who has encountered the love of Christ and who hasn’t. I can see it in the lives of people because that love begins to express itself through the way people live their life.

Unless Jesus returns in our lifetime death is waiting. Some of you may be pacing through life so fast that you lost sight of that fact. Or maybe you are so distracted that you forgot. I have a serious question, are you prepared for it?

Now, as we step into John 13 today, Jesus has withdrawn to the upper room with his closest, inner circle of followers. I need you to imagine how intimate and intense this scene is. His ministry to the masses is now over as he begins to prepare himself and his closest followers for his suffering, death, and resurrection. John opens Chapter 13 with some private insights on where Jesus’ head and hear...

This series is designed to open your heart to all that God has for you this Easter.

I want to talk about what it takes to make your marriage really shine. I want to highlight some of the little things that can make your marriage stand out. You know what I’m talking about. You’ve seen these couples. They look like enjoy being together even after 50 years. When they’re near each other they’re finding subtle ways to let the other know, “I’m glad you’re here.” It’s a glance. It’s a l...

Today, I want to talk about God’s call for a wife to submit to her husband and how doing so helps fulfill a husband’s deepest value. So follow along while I read Ephesians 5:22-24 and 33.

I want to continue exploring this theme of mutual submission by looking at a specific illustration that focuses on a husband and wife. I realize that not everyone here is married, but I believe the overarching themes in this text can help every relationship between a man and a woman.

What if we’ve completely missed the point of relationships? What if God gives us our relationships not just to make us happy but to make us holy? What if God doesn’t care about enhancing your self-image as much as conforming you into His image?

The Bible is our owner's manual for life. And the Bible tells you what you can and can't do with your life. If you ignore the owner's manual, you're going to run out of gas. And all over our nation, people are emotionally running out of gas, relationships are dying, careers are dying, dreams are dying because they're not paying attention to the owner's manual.

Today, I want to continue in our series on living with a margin by looking at the keys of a productive life. That's the goal for living with margin…we want to maintain or even increase effectiveness while lowering stress and pressure. Most people really want their lives to count; we want our lives to matter. We want to feel useful; we want to make a difference. We don't want to waste our lives; in...

The fast pace of our culture, especially here in California, is so pervasive that anthropologists are now studying how it is actually damaging the human race. They're actually studying its effect on the brain and other systems in our bodies. Obviously, studies can provide some important data, but the Bible is very clear about how hurried and busy lifestyles affect our lives. Let me share a few of...

Now in this series we're going to look at many of the benefits of living with a margin, but in this introductory message let me just mention a couple things. During the rest of this series, you're going to learn the biblical basis of living with margin.

Gratefully, at Christmastime, we have the opportunity—if we’ll take it—to remember that, because of Jesus, the One who came at Christmas, we can be free: Yes! Free from our past. Free in our present. Amen! AND free in the future. Your future is secure because of the One who came at Christmas. And that’s what I want to talk about with you today.

Not only did Jesus come in the flesh to forgive, heal, and free us from the consequences of our past. He came to journey with us through all the challenges and opportunities of our todays.

Today, I want to take a peek at Scrooge’s past and use that as a springboard to think about our lives. And then I want to see what God has to say about all that. What does Jesus, the Spirit of Christmas, have to say about your past? What does He think about it? What does He want to do with it?

Today and over the next 4 weeks we’re going to spring board off of the Christmas classic A Christmas Carol and review how the Spirit of Christmas—Jesus come in the flesh—came to free, restore, and transform you life and your eternity. When you embrace and journey with Jesus—the Spirit of Christmas—your life can be more meaningful and rewarding than you ever imagined it could be.

A humble posture is critical for connection with God.

Join us as we celebrate the men and women who have fought for our freedom.

The fact is, whatever we have in our lives, and all aspects of our lives—our energy, our time, our dreams, our relationships, our jobs, our church, our world and the environment—everything we have around us, God has given it to us! He says, “Here, I want you to enjoy this.” And each of us is given the opportunity to manage it, take care of it, nurture it, and develop it. As Christians, each of us...

The two saddest words in the English language have often been described as “if only.” Statements like “if only I graduated with a different degree…” or “if only I would have married later in life…” or “if only I would have listened…” have wreaked havoc over many of us. And “if we only” are honest (pun intended), these statements have turned into regrets—painful points of our past that have control...

Some may wonder; why is God so obsessed about how I manage my money? The reason God cares so much about how you manage your money, is because it is the leading indicator of where you are resting the weight of your trust in life. If you want to know where a person is placing the bulk of their trust in order to experience safety, security and maybe even meaning or purpose in life—just follow the mon...

Are you aware that one of the leading indicators of your spiritual condition is the way you care for your money? And are you aware that how you care for your money can both shut God out of your life, and restrict his activity, or it can work to unleash your spiritual growth?
