Happy Easter! Join us to hear a message by Pastor John Danganan!

Mt. 21:1-3- Jesus asks His disciples to essentially go steal a donkey.  Obedience isn’t the same as agreement. Obedience shouldn’t be conditional  upon our understanding. Simple obedience marks the true disciple of Jesus  (Jn 3:36) and child of God (1 Jn 5:2). Faith is not static but is active and leads to obedience (Rom. 1:5). It is the litmus test whether one is a follower of&nbsp...

Water baptism may not be necessary to salvation, but it is essential to be a  disciple of Jesus because it is an expression of repentance and allegiance to  Jesus (Acts 2:37). Associating ourselves to the life, death, burial and  resurrection of Jesus is also how we live in victory over sin (Rom 6:1-14). We  see the trinity in Jesus’ own baptism where the Father declares his ap...

Going into all the world and proclaiming the gospel is the first step in making disciples (Maybe this can be a “Missions Sunday” emphasis?) Being sent out is to live as missional witnesses into our vocation in the marketplace where we work and in the communities that we live in. Being a faithful witness (strong work ethic, honoring those in authority, joyful attitude) at  work bridges the cre...

Jesus, our victorious and resurrected King has been given all authority in heaven and earth (1 Cor 15:27; Rom 14:9). This is the basis of discipleship. Christ followers have been commissioned and sent out with spiritual authority to preach, heal the sick, cast out demons (Matt 10:8). Believers are to walk out in God confidence in the spiritual authority in Christ.

How should Christ followers respond to verbal and physical persecution for Christ? Jesus teaches us that we are to rejoice and be glad in suffering for righteousness sake and describes us as blessed. Open your bible to Matthew 5:10-12 and let’s study Jesus’ conclusion of his vision of kingdom living in the Beatitudes.

Did you know Jesus talked more about money & earthly possessions than he did about sex, heaven, and hell combined? God knows our hearts and understands how money can divide our dependency away from him to money. Open your bibles to Matthew 6 and let's find out what it means to have a united heart in order to choose heavenly treasure (vv.19-21), generosity (vv. 22-23) and God over money (v.24).

Familiarity does not necessarily mean understanding. We'll look through the familiar parable of the Good Samaritan and come to terms of understanding Jesus' message of compassion and mercy of our neighbor. This parable isn’t defining who your neighbor is. It asks the question: "Are you a neighbor?" It’s not who is my neighbor i.e. who qualifies to be loved-- It’s about am I a neighbor who loves in...

It’s fairly easy to follow Christ’s commands when the balance of the world is swinging in our favor. It’s when the bumps in the road come, the heavy storms, that we seem to waver. Peter saw Jesus walking on the water, so he got out of the boat to go to him. But he got distracted. Let's learn from the example of Peter to keep our eyes on Jesus.

Series: Amazed Title: "From Follower to Leader" Text: Acts 7:20-34 What is the process that God uses to mold our heart so that we can serve him? We are going to look at the life of Moses and see the hand of God transform the Prince of Egypt to the Shepherd of Midian to the Servant of Israel.

Series: Amazed Title: Total Amputation Text: Matthew 18:8-9 Jesus takes drastic measures when it comes to sin. He doesn’t recommend a self-help book or program. He wants total amputation of the things that are causing us to seek pleasure away from Him.
