We will discover from Scripture that the nature of man is to serve God. When we fell, we didn't lose this aspect of our being, but we did lose the Holy Object of these affections and became subject to the unholy one instead. Through the truths of this message, may our understanding of freedom, slavery, and worship be enhanced and may He allow us to experience our Salvation more greatly as we do.

A special Sunday gathering with extended praise & worship and a short devotional teaching from one of our elders, Brian Tressler. Brian discusses the topic of faith over feelings and our struggle to surrender through the teaching of Psalm 13 and the story of the faith of the women who bled for 12 years and received healing when she reached out, in faith, to touch the hem of Jesus' garment (Matthew...

Pastor Bryan discusses the challenge and inspiration to walk out our faith with our "born again spirit" while still dragging along our "body of death" and how to "live in the Kingdom of Heaven" in the midst of the presence of "the kingdom of hell." Our biggest take-away will be: "Eternity and Salvation Start Now!"

Pastor Bryan breaks down Romans 5:12-21, discussing what it means to be born naturally (under the headship of Adam) verses supernaturally (under the headship of Christ) and how wild it is to be living in both realities at the same time. We will also debunk the dark doctrine of original sin and replace it with the truth about our condition at birth and the incredible hope this gives us for the eter...

Pastor Bryan brings us a message titled "Faith, Perseverance, Character, Glory, and Repeat..." that will provide insight not only into what a great Salvation we have received through Christ, but also how to experience it through suffering.

This week's message from Romans is about finding certainty, safety, provision, healing... everything we need through the relationship we have with God that allows us to hear and believe His words.

How can we be faithful servants of God in the midst of the darkness and chaos of the times we live in today? Pastor Bryan brings us a special New Year's Message titled, "The/A Great and Dreadful Day of the Lord?" preaching from Isaiah 2:1-11 and Matthew 24:42-51. May this message encourage (pouring courage into us) those of us who place our faith in His Words and know that faith is what makes us "...

A special Christmas Eve communion service at Monterey Church as we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

Pastor Bryan teaches from Romans 4:1-15 where Paul continues to expound on a righteousness that comes by faith rather than through the Law. It has always really been this way, as far back as Abraham and even as far back as Adam and Eve. To the degree we maintain faith in God and His Word, we maintain a lifegiving relationship with Him. To the degree we doubt Him and His Word(s), we lose the securi...

Pastor Bryan preaches from Romans 3:21-31 with a message titled, "Three Things We Must Believe About God"—and two things we must understand about ourselves.

Pastor Bryan preaches from Romans 3:1-20 continuing in Paul's teaching about our inability to be righteous before God through human effort. What cannot be achieved through the law and our performance can only be achieved by grace through faith that brings the Holy Spirit.

Pastor Bryan gives a call to action for those who are called to be a part of Monterey Church through the preaching of Joshua 3:1-17, "Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you." A reminder that what we do on this Earth, with faith, is sacred when we do it for the Kingdom of Heaven.

Pastor Bryan teaches about the purpose of the Law, the righteousness that only comes through Christ, and the power (the gift of the Holy Spirit), given to all believers empowering us to follow and obey God.

Monterey Church Elder, Nick Arellano, shares a special message with our Body titled "S.O.S."—when a plea to God of "Help!" is met with His response, 'Surrender, Obedience, and Serve."

Pastor Bryan preaches part 3 of our Romans series: Living for the Heaven in the Midst of Hell. This message, titled "The Problem" sets up the rest of the series, which will bring us "The Solution."

Pastor Bryan breaks down Romans 1:17-32 in a message titled "Crimes Against the Creator" discussing the coexisting evidence of both God's grace and His wrath, already, all around us, all the time.

This message is titled "Sola Fide?" (translated 'Faith Alone?"). We will learn from Paul's teaching: How to exist in very close proximity to the world seat of power, wealth, politics, and sin (throne of Hell) and yet remain faithful and potent on behalf of God's throne of Heaven.

Brian Tressler preaches a message titled "Almighty," which focuses on the Sovereignty and Omnipotence of God.

Pastor Bryan preaches the 'Grand Finale' from our Matthew: Kingdom Come series (Matt. 28:16-20), which gives us the "Great Commission" (also known as the Monterey Church Mission Statement) and will launch us into a New Year of ministry at Monterey Church!

This Sunday's message is titled "He Is Risen!" focuses on remembering and experiencing Jesus' victory over death!

Pastor Bryan's message (from Matthew 27:27-56) will be Part 2 of "The Cross" and is, without exaggeration, the most important event in the History of the World. Listen and receive the fullness of what Jesus did for us on that day and how to walk in the reality of our Salvation—now on Earth even before the full coming of the Kingdom of Heaven!
