Title: Prince of Peace Description: It’s amazing how fragile some gifts are. When God’s great gift of creation had just been unwrapped, the first people on the planet broke it.  As the first couple chose to pridefully trust a crafty creature instead of the King & Creator, sin wrecked everything. Join us as Pastor David Gaunt shares Part 5 of our message series called “The Promise of Christmas”...

Title: Everlasting Father Description: It’s amazing how many things change over time, think back what your favorite gift was that you got for Christmas last year. Whatever it was, it seemed so important at the time didn’t it? And yet, one year later, you can't even remember what it was. But what if there was a gift that was timeless, one not affected by changing trends, changing bodies, or changin...

Title: Part Three Description: During this time of the year, a lot of us love to watch Christmas movies. One of the classics is called “A Christmas Story”. The main character is a 9 year old boy named Ralphie and all he wants for Christmas is a Red Ryder BB Gun. But his mom, his teacher, and even the mall Santa, all tell him what? “You’ll shoot your eye out kid”. I think sometimes we can view Jesu...

Title: Part Two Description:  Have you ever followed bad advice? Maybe you were talked into making a bad financial investment. Maybe you unwisely listened to your friend and went on a date with someone who turned out to be a disaster Or someone recommended a contractor to do a project for you and they did a terrible job. All of us probably have stories where we followed bad advice. And we learned...

Title: Philippians 4 Description: Do you feel weighed down by worries? In this powerful message, we explore how we unknowingly carry the burden of anxiety and stress, much like a heavy backpack. Join us as we learn how to release these burdens through prayer, gratitude, and trust in God's peace, provision, and presence. Discover how tending to a “mental garden” of godly thinking can transform your...

Title: Philippians 3 Description: Have you ever known someone who is stuck in the past? They’re always talking about how great things used to be. Or maybe you know someone who only lives for the moment.  Join us as Pastor Steve Garcia shares a message from the Apostle Paul  as he encourages the church, and ultimately us, to stay strong in the Lord in Philippians chapter 3.  - NEXT STEPS  Looking t...

Title: Philippians 2 Description: Our culture loves celebrities. Whether they are titans in the entertainment industry, politics, or sports, we believe that true joy comes from riches, popularity, and power. But in Philippians chapter 2, we get the exact opposite message. Join us a Pastor Steve Garcia shares a message  according to the Apostle Paul, the key to joy is not what you may think let's t...

Title: Philippians 1  Description: What do you need in order to feel joy? Some might say you’ll be able to experience joy once you get through the latest set of challenges, maybe even finalizing a few deals at work or getting the results back from the doctor. For others the only thing that will bring you joy is a long vacation. The reality is that many of us believe that joy is circumstantial. If...

Title: Part 4 - For Our God  Description: What’s the most exciting news you’ve heard recently? Usually, when we hear good news, we can’t wait to share good news. But for whatever reason, sometimes that doesn’t happen when it comes to the BEST news anyone can ever hear that Jesus loves you so much that He died for you so you can have a personal and eternal relationship with the very God who created...

Title: Part 3 - For Our City  Description: If you are a follower of Jesus?  Jesus, commands us in Matthew 28:18-29 that every Christian is to be on mission. The word “mission” comes from a latin word that means “to send”, If you have been saved then you have been sent. Join us as Pastor Steve Garcia shares his experience on mission and a message on the role of a Christian in Global Missions. - NEX...

Title: Part 2 - For Our City  Description: After God created all things, he placed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. They lived in a perfect world, in perfect communion with God. But they chose to disobey him instead of enjoying what they had and as a result, sin entered the world and a curse was placed on humanity. But because of Jesus - laying down his perfect, unblemished life as a sacrifice...

Part 1 - For Our Church  Description: Don’t you wish life had shortcuts? Wouldn’t it be nice to get rich without ever having to work for it?

Join us as Pastor Steve Garcia solicits yo...

Today we continue with Part 3 of a message series where we look to the Bible to address some of the most controversial topics of the day. As you well know, right around the corner is a Presidential Election, and a top concern, if not THE top concern, is the hotly debated issue of immigration. What does the Bible have to say about immigration? Does it give any direction for how a nation should gove...

Title: Part 2 - Israel & Palestine Description:  While the military battles rage overseas, the verbal battles have been raging all over social media, across college campuses, and maybe even in your own home.

Everyone is ready on Sundays to sing and learn about Jesus. It’s easy to trust Him at church. But what about Monday through Saturday? Is Jesus enough to be trusted every day of the week too? In the final message for the series, “Jesus Only,” Pastor John Hill encourages everyone not to settle for just getting smarter about Jesus. He challenges us to grow closer by trusting Him every day because He...

Title: Relatability of Christ  Description:   If you have spent any time in church you have likely heard a few phrases that are commonly used for instance “The only way to Heaven is to have a personal relationship with Jesus”. Do you believe that statement is true? Do you believe that the only way to Heaven is through a personal relationship with Jesus? Join us as Pastor Steve Garcia takes us thro...

Title: Uniqueness of Christ   Description:   Jesus led a few of his disciples up a mountain and to help strengthen their faltering faith, Jesus  gave them a glimpse of his true glory. His face transformed into bright, white light and his garments did the same; the New Testament book of Matthew calls this the Transfiguration. Join us as Pastor Steve Garcia continues in part 3 of our message series...

Title: Deity of Christ Description:  When you think of Jesus, which words come to mind? Maybe the word “love” Jesus is love or the word Forgiveness, Peace, and maybe even Friend. Jesus showed his love time and time again, not only for outcasts but even his enemies. There are many different attributes of Jesus that we could correctly write down. Join us for part 2 of our Only Jesus series, where Pa...

Title: Jesus is in Control Description:  Jesus’ impact on the world is astounding. The place he ministered was in the nation of Israel, a country that is roughly the size of NJ. While we know a lot about the birth of Jesus we know very little about his upbringing, teenage years, or life in his 20’s. Join us at Pastor Steve Garcia shares a message on the attributes of Christ. - NEXT STEPS  Looking...
