We are reminded of God's goodness, His faithfulness, and His com...

Pastor Bobby teaches from Matthew 25:14-30 from the parable titled, "The Bags of Gold". Bobby will show us from the Scriptures what Jesus meant through this teaching about our life, lifestyle, and livelihood and being faithful (faith-filled) until He returns!

Pastor Bobby Gore takes us through two Parables found in  Matthew 25 . This week will be “The Parable of the Ten Virgins” and the focus will be about preparing for Jesus’ return and how we, the church, are to act and react through the stewardship of our time, talents, and treasure.

Pastor Bryan preaches the final message of our discipleship series, “The Monterey Way: Under the Covering, Protection and Blessing of God.” We will close with a time of prayer, reflection and Communion.

What are spiritual gifts and how are they used in the Body of Christ? Pastor Bryan preaches from 1 Corinthians 12, expounding upon Paul's teaching on Spiritual Gifts and how God through the Holy Spirit imparts so many gifts (wisdom, power, knowledge, healing, provision, and so much more) into the Church for the wellness of the Body and every member of it.

A special Christmas Eve message from Isaiah 9:1-7 . This is a prophesy foretelling the birth of Christ over 700 years before the day! The passage expands our understanding of the magnificence of his coming, which was so understated through the scene in Bethlehem, and leads us to an opportunity to receive Christ as the GIFT this Christmas season.   Note: We will be receiving Communion at the end of...

Pastor Bryan preaches from  Ephesians 4  about "Spiritual Offices" (Ministering to One Another, Part II) discuss the the important role of Spiritual Offices that Christ himself gave, so that the Body would be equipped for works of service and built up!

Pastor Bryan continues our Discipleship Series with a message titled "Ministering to One Another (Part One)". This message will create great expectations for what can (and will) happen when we fully embrace ministering God's Word into each other's lives through the power of the Holy Spirit. 

In the "The Priesthood," Pastor Bryan preaches from 1 Peter 2:9 and other key passages to demonstrate that our Father's purpose for all of us, who have been reconciled to Him through the blood of His Son, is to represent Him before to this World (as Ambassadors) and to lead people (with great authority) into a reconciled, right relationship with Him (as Priests).

As disciples (disciplined followers of Christ), when we begin to consistently and intentionally seek the Word of God through the Spirit of God for the Will of God, then we will find it and be given the power and authority that comes with it.  With God's authority also comes God's enemies, and we will also need supernatural protection to go with this authority. This week's message titled “Armor” wi...

In part 3 of our discipleship series, Pastor Bryan defines and clarifies what it means to be a disciple, what is discipleship, and what are spiritual disciplines. Not only will we define these things, we will be informed through the words of Jesus in John 3 and John 15 as to how we can be disciples (a born-again gift) and why (power and authority from on high).

A special Sunday service for worship and reflection, Pastor Bobby Gore brings a devotional message around the theme of gratitude titled, “Bold Thanks” based on Psalm 138.  David preemptively thanks God for vindicating him before he is rescued from a dire situation. This message will embolden and encourage us no matter what troubles we are currently facing.

Pastor Bryan preaches the second foundational message in our discipleship series titled, “What We Believe." In this message, he breaks down what it means to believe, and what and who we are to believe in. Time will be spent discussing the Spirit of God and the Word of God—the sixty-six books of the Bible we consider the Canon and how the Canon was discerned and bound together by the Early Church F...

Pastor Bryan teaches the first message of "The Monterey Way", a sermon series focused on discipleship and leadership in the Body of Christ, specifically our local body, Monterey Church. In Part 1, we learn about how the "Mountain" and the "Tree" gives us the perfect illustration of biblical order in the the church, where a church rooted in the foundation of God's truth (His word), love (humility),...

Thanh Buswell shares her testimony with an encouragement that each and every one of us who are redeemed has a worthy story to tell of God's unfailing love and his wonderful deeds in their life (Psalm 107).  In the message, she shares how she came to have faith in what Jesus did for her on the Cross and how that gift of salvation is already blessing her with freedom today. Thanh talks about the spi...

Will we allow culture to influence the Kingdom of God? Or will we be prepared to change the culture with Kingdom principles? Pastor Bobby Gore preaches the final message (2 Timothy 4) of our “Dear Timothy…” series with a message to live Kingdom down rather than culture up.

In "Terrible Times", Pastor Bryan preaches through 2 Timothy 3, a passage where Paul discusses the hostile atmosphere that will war with Timothy (and us) as he (and we) goes out in 'strength' to be 'loyal' to God, His Gospel, and all of His Word. Paul exhorts Timothy to remain loyal to the "higher wisdom of God's Word" because it is embedded with the Holy Spirit and is the ultimate tool for minist...

This week's message is titled "Keeping The Faith" (2 Timothy 2) and will glean from Paul's words to Timothy the importance of staying true to solid Biblical, Gospel teaching and how to recognize and deal with false teaching when it arises in the Church. Pastor Bryan addresses the importance of truthful teaching in keeping God's people from becoming discouraged and losing their faith.

Pastor Bryan preaches through the Book of Second Timothy, a pastoral letter from the apostle Paul to the pastor-teacher Timothy. It is a letter written to encourage (pour courage into) this proven Christian leader and to strengthen, mature, and refine him for the days ahead. May God use this very personal, passionate letter to provide for us what it most certainly did for Timothy. 

Pastor Bryan brings a special message from Isaiah 58 for the answer, "Who is God willing to make strong?" Better than praying and asking God to intervene for us in difficult circumstances and to bring us through, is to ask for God to make us strong so that regardless of the circumstances we experience, we have his power to overcome them every time.

Pastor Bryan shares a prophetic message to the American Church from Isaiah 8. Though this prophecy from was for God's people at that time, it does foreshadow the coming of Messiah and he boldly declares that God is going to use it to illustrate timeless truths about Him and to speak from it directly to the Body of Christ about what is ahead for the American Church and the Nation/World we exist in.

Pastor Bryan preaches the final passages of the Romans series. The grand finale is the “benediction”, the Apostle Paul establishing the Roman Church through the Gospel that he has preached to them through this book of the Bible. May God God through it to establish this church, the Monterey Church, as well!

Pastor Bryan preaches from Romans 15:1-21 in a message titled "Natural Born Enemies" that will highlight the miracle through Christ that we have been made not only friends of God, but sons and daughters of God, the Bride of Christ, and joint-heirs in the Kingdom of Heaven. His power and authority that could have (and should have) been leveled against us, is now working to bless and protect us inst...

Pastor Bryan preaches from Romans 14 discussing the freedom we have in Christ and how wisdom guides this freedom, setting us free to walk without condemnation and to not give into every inclination of the flesh. We also learn how our lifestyle can encourage or discourage others in their faith-filled pursuit of Father through the Son and with the power of the Holy Spirit.

Pastor Bryan preaches a special message titled "Battlefield of the Mind: Protecting the Mind and Hearts of Our Children," inspired by our Child Dedications and some extraordinary things the Holy Spirit has been revealing to him (to reveal to us) this past week.
