In Matthew 7, Jesus teaches that we can live life entering the “wide gate” (living in the ways of the world and our sin) or the “narrow gate” (living as disciples to Jesus). Following Jesus is the more difficult path to follow. This is why many choose to follow the ways of the world and their sin instead. Ultimately, this is Satan’s way of destroying our relationship with God and others and our li...

Throughout this Blessed series, we have been looking at Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, which shows us what the Kingdom of God would be like if we follow Him here on earth. A primary aspect of this is to value people and relationships. This is why Jesus used the powerful imagery of our human tendency to fixate on the speck in someone else’s eye while ignoring the “plank” in our own eye. He cautions us...

Our world teaches and tells us to accumulate material possessions for our personal happiness and enjoyment. However, despite many of us having more things, we often feel stressed and overwhelmed by anxiety and worry. Jesus explains that a blessed life is not one that is ruled by the love of money and possessions, but rather a love for God’s eternal kingdom. This is the antidote to anxiety and worr...

All of us are called by God to fulfill His purpose and will face contradictions to that calling. Situations and obstacles will arise that discourage us and prevent us from fulfilling God’s call. In the Bible, we find that Mary had to navigate such obstacles when she received God’s call to be the mother of Jesus. She was in a difficult position to be pregnant while being a virgin and not yet marrie...

One of the pathways to God’s blessing and provision is prayer. Prayer invites God’s kingdom into our lives. Therefore, we must pray with the right heart and focus. Jesus teaches us several important aspects of prayer that bring God’s kingdom blessings and breakthroughs into our lives. Pastor Russell TolentinoSunday May 7, 2023 Live at 6:00 PM

To bring God’s blessing into our lives and the world around us, we must align ourselves with Jesus and His Word. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught His disciples how to live as children of God, bringing the values and the blessings of God’s Kingdom to earth. His teachings reveal that God is far more concerned with what is going on in our hearts than He is about our behavior alone. Humans hav...

The world’s standard is to love those that love you back. Jesus raises the standard; to love even our enemies. Our natural inclination is to seek retaliation, which says, “You hurt me, so I will hurt you.” This leads to a divided world filled with conflict. Jesus teaches us to “love our enemies” and to “pray for those who persecute us.” Jesus demonstrated this by loving us at the cross, even while...

To experience God’s blessing and to be a light to the World requires that we align our lives with His Word. One of the most important ways we do this is by living with honesty and integrity where our actions and words align.

Easter is the most important event in human history. Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection proved that He was who He said He was, and that what He said was true—that salvation and the forgiveness of sins are available to anyone who repents and believes in Him.

Jesus came to bring the values of the Kingdom of God to earth. His values are very different from the world's. When we align ourselves with His values outlined in His Word, we position ourselves to experience His blessing in our lives. Jesus came to show us the way and gave His life on the cross to save us from the brokenness of this world. Pastor Russell Tolentino Sunday April 2, 2023 Live at...

One of the primary goals of a Christian life is to be transformed into the image of Christ. In scripture, this idea of “transformation” is similar to the change (metamorphosis) of a caterpillar becoming a butterfly or a tadpole becoming a frog. When we allow God to change what we believe, we can change how we behave. Galatians 4:19 describes this process through relationships, repetition, and resi...

Jesus is the Son of God and promised Savior of the World. Jesus performed numerous miraculous acts while here on earth, validating this truth. His first miracle was the turning of water into wine when the host of a party ran out of wine for their guests. What began as an embarrassing problem became an opportunity for God’s power to be displayed. This miracle turned water into wine and skeptics int...

Many relationships over the last few years have been severely challenged due to various kinds of crisis. In Matthew 5:21-26, Jesus teaches us how to preserve relational blessing when faced with relational brokenness. From Jesus’ teaching, we learn three important insights on how to prevent relational crisis: 1.Realize that the emotion of unchecked anger is divisive and destructive. (v. 21-22) 2. T...

Since we are called to be light to the world, it is important to obey God’s Word. His authoritative Word exposes sin in our lives and expresses our need for a savior. Jesus perfectly obeyed the Word of God, becoming the fulfillment of God’s Law. Our focus should be obedience to the Word because we love God and want to love others, which is the intent of God’s Law. True blessing comes as we align o...

In Jesus’ famous Sermon on the Mount, He addressed what it means to be “blessed” in God’s Kingdom. Throughout this series, we will unpack Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount and discover how He defines true blessing and the path toward attaining it.
