Monterey Church Virginia

Pastor Bobby Gore leads us through the events leading up to Jesus being recognized as the prophesied and long-awaited messianic King. The main Scripture revolves around the events of Palm Sunday, but additional scriptures in the Old Testament are tied in, connecting as well as demonstrating the same theme with wildly different results upon His second coming found in Revelation. Oddly enough there...

This message will speak directly to the array of things that are challenging many of us. If these words were powerful and effective for the original audience (who were not experiencing the indwelling of the Holy Spirit), how much more powerful for us who have Him amplfying from inside?

Through this message, I am asking the Holy Spirit to help us understand how to effectively pray and experience all of the power the Bible promises when we do. This message closes with an opportunity to come to the altar and seek God's power for our needs.

This teaching from John 4 (The Samaritan Woman) has an emphasis on the unpredictable leadership of Jesus. We believe God will use this message to breathe fresh life into our Body and giving us a jolt that will launch the next season of our mission together.

In Part 2 of "Be Strong and Courageous!" Pastor Bryan shares more details about our exciting move and what lies ahead for Monterey Church and every member of it. It's a time to praise and thank God for what He has done—and it is a time to continue to press on, seeking His wisdom and the courage to respond faithfully, beginning with praying for our new community and asking for the power to remain s...

This is the first of a two-week message that Pastor Bryan believes the Holy Spirit will use to get us ready for some very great days just ahead! The message from Joshua 1 is, "Be Strong and Courageous!" and will encourage us (literally pour courage in us) through God's words, promises, and clear vision for our future together (as the church with every member of it).

Pastor Bryan preaches from one his favorite passages of Scripture, Isaiah 55, a chapter titled, "Invitation to the Thirsty." In this section, God speaks first person to Israel (and through Israel, to us) with an invitation to bring their (our) needs to Him and then an illustration of how He sends His Word to save.

Pastor Bobby Gore will also share a short devotional teaching from Psalm 115 titled, "Content Over Complacent," that encourages us to give God the Glory for all of His blessings and reminds us that contentment is vastly different than complacency. 

Pastor Bryan preaches the final message of the Corinthians Are U.S. series. The theme is "joy-filled anticipation" as we will focus on the last few verses predicting peace, joy and a glorious future for the Corinthians (and for U.S.)!

There is great power in these Words for those of us who have become embittered, hurt, or offended with in the Body of Christ and need healing so we can begin to grow again in our relationship with Christ through His Body. Like, perhaps, we did when we were newer to the faith.

We Celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus (and through Him the eventual resurrection of you and I) through the teaching of Luke 24 about the "Resurrection" of Jesus

In remembrance of the Cross

We continue in our Corinthians series with a message from chapter 11 titled "A Jealous God". The chapter seems to be all about the pain, difficulty and betrayals in Paul's relationship with the Corinthian Church, but a deeper look shows that actually that is simply mirroring the Church's relationship with Christ. We will talk about God's jealousy for his Bride (the church) and how it manifests in...

Pastor Bryan preached through Matthew 25:31-45 to show us what Jesus really meant when he said, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ If Jesus were to come today, what would he say about what we have done for the "least of these brothers of mine"?  May this message give us deeper understanding and conviction for what it is...

Psalm 51 is a lament psalm by King David after his transgressions with Bathsheba, where he vulnerably admits his own faults, prays for his own situation, and then prays for his nation. May we find that true satisfaction comes when we return back to God just as we are with a contrite heart.

Dr. Bruce Crouterfield, Commander, U.S. Navy Chaplain Corps (Retired), brings us an encouraging message exploring what it means to live a life that is truly fulfilling.

This message is very much about the power of God's Word, the nature of it's landing upon fallen flesh, and the incredible opportunities and dangers associated with the ministry of these Words. Come prepared to be "provoked into righteousness". 

We continue in 2nd Corinthians (chapter 9) with part 2 of "The Grace of Giving". Chapter 9 unveils the spiritual reality (what really takes place) when we give in alignment to the will of God. The passage provides direct, clear and powerful information showing that "giving" is really "investing" into the Kingdom of Heaven; making it the wisest, safest, most permanent and beneficial thing any of us...

No words better describe the good news of the Gospel than giving or gift. The verse from John 3, "For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son...", pretty much defines grace.  When that grace comes to us and works through us, it gives us the power to be incredibly generous, as well. But it doesn't end there, chapter 8 is the preamble to chapter 9, where we find that because of Jesu...

We often think about and lament the consequences of sin, disobedience and the rejection of Christ, his Word, and his servants, but in this message we will think about and celebrate the power and salvation experienced through obedience and agreement with Christ, his Word, and his servants.

Pastor Bryan preaches from Psalm 32 to show us how God brings Amazing Grace into our lives through the power of confession and through this, we can rejoice just as David did in the psalm. 

In 2 Cor. 6, Paul implores the church to not take their Salvation for granted, to fully receive the message He is sending through Paul, and to take steps to set themselves apart entirely for the Lord. May the Holy Spirit use this message to get us unified (with Him and each other), set apart (consecrated), and anticipating His divine action to bless and use our Church in extraordinary ways...not j...

As we dive into the passage ( 2 Corinthians 5:11-21 ), we will discover the essence of the Gospel ministry (reconciliation with God and then each other) and how that puts "The Meaning" back into our lives (good, loving relationships with God and each other). If this is indeed the meaning of life, how will you leverage your life for the sake of the Gospel? 

Our Student Ministries Director, Gabe McGinness, encourages us through a devotional teaching of  Psalm 139 , reminding us that the Lord knows us deeply and personally and Calen and the worship team will lead us through an extended time of worship and praise. We will cover a few key moments from King David’s relationships & how, through faith, we can be men and women after God’s own heart, just as...

A special message on the eve of the Presidential Inauguration. Pastor Bryan teaches from from Psalm 72, David's prayer for his son, Solomon, and the government he would lead over all of Israel. From this prayer, we gain wisdom and understanding that will fuel our prayers for the new President and his Administration that begins this week.
