They also discuss biblical compassion and generosity, teaching that true compassion moves b...

This Compassion Sunday message teaches that Jesus is moved with deep, gut-level compassion for both crowds and individuals, and that God calls believers to share in His heart for the hurting and oppressed. A former Compassion International child, Dr. Jose Piña, shares how sponsorship, the local church, and Christ’s love lifted him from severe poverty to become a doctor and leader, urging the churc...

Pastor Maritza teaches that Paul’s description of himself as a “prisoner of Christ Jesus” calls believers to willingly suffer and die to self, choosing to be bound to Christ rather than to fear, comfort, or circumstances. She shares that the mystery of the gospel—Jesus making a way for all people, Jew and Gentile—to know God has been revealed to us, and we must steward it by living with purpose in...

Pastor Brandon's message explains that the great “mystery” revealed in Ephesians 3 is that, through Jesus, Gentiles are now united with Israel as one family in Christ, saved by grace as full heirs and not second‑class outsiders. Because of this, believers are called to live in freedom and confidence—defined not by their circumstances but by their identity and mission in Christ, trusting God’s...

Pastor Rodney teaches that the “mystery” Paul describes in Ephesians 3 is that, through Jesus, Gentiles are now fully included as God’s children—heirs with Israel, members of one body, and sharers in all His promises. He calls us to stop being defined or imprisoned by our past, pain, or sin, to receive God’s grace instead of trying to earn it, to trust Him amid unanswered “why” questions, and to s...

Pastor Scott's message, based on Ephesians 2:19–22, teaches that through Christ we are no longer outsiders but citizens of heaven, members of God’s household, and living temples being built and sanctified as a holy dwelling for the Holy Spirit.

Pastor Scott's message celebrates recent baptisms as evidence of God’s saving and transforming work, emphasizing that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus alone, not by good works or religious activity. He teaches that those who trust in Christ are God’s workmanship with a unique purpose, brought near to God by the blood of Jesus to have peace and direct access to the Father.

Pastor Maritza's sermon walks through Ephesians 2:11–18, explaining how Jesus broke down the “dividing wall” between Jews and Gentiles so that all people, once far from God and without hope, can now be brought near, reconciled, and made one new humanity in Christ. She encourages us to remember our identity “in Christ,” relyon Scripture in spiritual warfare, and receive Jesus as our peace so we...

Pastor Eric's sermon, based in Ephesians 2, emphasizes that salvation is a free gift of grace through faith in Jesus, giving every believer direct access to God without distinction between Jew and Gentile.

Pastor Maritza celebrates the resurrection of Jesus as the event that changes everything, moving us from spiritual death to life and offering salvation as a free gift of grace that cannot be earned by good works.

He explains from Ephesians 2 that the resurrection reveals God’s great love and grace, giving believers a new identity in Christ—raised with Him, f...

This midweek conversation with Pastors Scott, Maritza, and Dan explores Ephesians 2:1–4, stressing that people are spiritually dead in sin and that Jesus came to make us alive with Christ, rescue us, and adopt us into God’s family. They then unpack verse 2, discussing Satan’s real but limited influence over world systems, how Christians can unwittingly participate in that darkness, and the vital i...

Pastor Eric uses Ephesians 2:1–5 to remind the church that before Christ we were spiritually dead, enslaved to sin, the world, and the kingdom of darkness, deserving God’s wrath and unable to save ourselves. He connects this to Palm Sunday by showing Jesus’ triumphal entry as the moment God’s love, mercy, and power broke into that darkness so that, through faith in Christ alone, dead people can be...

Pastor Scott uses Palm Sunday and Ephesians 2 to show that Jesus didn’t come just to make bad people better, but to make spiritually dead people alive, rescuing them from sin, darkness, and even from themselves.

Greg Hubbard and Pastor Karey join Andrew to discuss Ephesians 1:15–23, including Paul’s prayer that believers would truly grasp the “incredible greatness” of God’s power, especially as seen in the resurrection of Jesus, and how that power is available and accessible to believers today through faith, obedience, surrender, and consistent engagement with God’s Word. They also reflect on the need for...

Evangelist Greg Hubbard preaches from Ephesians 1 to remind us that God’s power is incomparable, limitless, and proven—especially in Christ’s resurrection—and that this same power is at work in every follower of Jesus through the Holy Spirit. He urges us not to live as weak or defeated Christians, but to trust and access this power for salvation, deliverance, healing, and victory in the midst of s...

This week's episode explores Calvinism versus Arminianism, using Ephesians 1:11–14 as a springboard to unpack predestination, election, atonement, free will, and “once saved always saved.” Pastors Scott and Eric explain why their church rejects the five points of Calvinism (TULIP), emphasizing that Christ died for all people and that every person has genuine free will to accept or reject salva...

Pastor Maritza teaches that Christians are chosen, redeemed, and sealed by the Holy Spirit, not just to attend church, but to live transformed, Spirit‑empowered lives for the praise of God’s glory. She encourages us to fully surrender, lean into God’s Word, and actively rely on the Holy Spirit’s power to boldly confront darkness and impact our surroundings.

Pastor Eric's message emphasizes that God is the same faithful God of Scripture today, but His power is experienced when we relinquish control, humble ourselves, and fully trust Him.

In this midweek episode, Andrew, Pastor Scott, and Pastor Maritza unpack Ephesians 1:5–10 as a “benefits package” given only to those who are in Christ: being chosen, adopted into God’s family, forgiven, freed from guilt and shame, and richly lavished with spiritual blessings.
