Welcome to this week’s worship service!

Today we conclude John 6 with a powerful moment of decision. After Jesus’ teaching about the bread of life, many in the crowd turned away — but the Twelve were faced with a question that calls each of us to respond:

Welcome to this week’s worship service!

Today we continue in John 6 with one of the most challenging passages in all of Scripture. After declaring that He is the living bread from heaven, Jesus tells the crowd that they must eat His flesh and drink His blood to have eternal life. His words stir up offense, confusion, and grumbling — but also reveal a deep spiritual truth.

Welcome to this week’s worship service!

In today’s message, we continue in John 6 where Jesus makes a bold and radical claim: “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” His words stirred up grumbling among the people who thought they knew Him as simply “the son of Joseph,” but Jesus reveals something far greater — He is the living bread sent by the Father to give life to the world.

In today’s message, we continue through John 6, where Jesus makes one of His most powerful declarations: “I am the bread of life.” After feeding the five thousand, the crowd still wants a sign — just as their ancestors received manna in the wilderness. But Jesus points them to something far greater: Himself, the true bread from heaven who gives life to the world.

This Sunday was a special Back-to-School Sunday at our church! We prayed over our school-aged kids and even had them join the worship team for one of the songs — celebrating a new school year with joy, blessing, and community.

Welcome to this week’s worship service!

Today we continue in John 6 and reflect on a short but powerful moment — Jesus walking on water during a stormy night. While the disciples are straining against the waves, Jesus approaches them in the dark, bringing peace, presence, and power into the chaos.

Welcome to this week’s worship service!

In today’s message, we return to the Gospel of John and step into one of the most well-known stories in Scripture: Jesus feeding the five thousand. Found in John 6:1–15, this miracle is recorded in all four Gospels — a clear sign of its significance.

Welcome to this week’s worship service!

Today’s message is a call to action — reminding us that sharing the gospel isn’t just for the few, it’s for all who follow Jesus.

Welcome to this week’s worship service!

In today’s message, we explore how Jesus lays out a bold and compelling case for His identity as the Son of God. Speaking directly to His critics in John 5:31–47, Jesus presents a series of powerful witnesses — each one confirming that He is the One sent by the Father to give life.

🇺🇸 Happy Fourth of July Weekend!
As we celebrate our nation’s freedom, today’s message points us to an even greater freedom — the kind that only Jesus can give.

In John 8:31–36, Jesus says, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” But what exactly are we being set free from? And if we are truly free, why do we sometimes still live as if we’re in chains?

🎉 Today we welcome guest speaker Amando Gonzales as we celebrate one year of meeting in our school building!We’re so thankful for all God has done — and we’re expectant for what’s ahead.

In this special anniversary message, we look at one of the most powerful moments in Israel’s journey — the miraculous crossing of the Jordan River — and what it teaches us about God’s presence, faithfulness, and purpose for our lives.

Welcome to this week’s worship service!

Today’s message centers on one of Jesus’ most powerful and sobering teachings from John 5:24–29 — where He speaks with authority about eternal life, judgment, and the resurrection to come.

Happy Father’s Day! Today’s worship service honors both earthly dads and our Heavenly Father — the perfect model of love, identity, and purpose.

Join us this Memorial Day weekend as we reflect on the powerful theme of remembering.

In today’s message, we explore how Scripture repeatedly calls us to remember:
📜 God’s redemptive acts throughout history
🛡️ His faithfulness to do it again
❤️ Who we once were before Christ and who we are now

In today’s message, we reflect on the powerful teaching of Jesus in John 5:16–23. As the Jewish leaders confront Jesus for healing on the Sabbath, He reveals profound truths about His identity and mission:
🌿 He’s not just a teacher or prophet — He is the Son of God, working in perfect unity with the Father.
🌿 He’s come not just to heal bodies but to heal souls and conquer sin.
🌿 He’s been entrusted with the authority to give life and judge the world.

In today’s message, we confront a powerful and personal battlefield: the mind.

We’re diving into 2 Corinthians 10:1–6 where the Apostle Paul urges believers to recognize the spiritual war around (and within) us — and the divine power we have in Christ to demolish strongholds, take every thought captive, and refuse to fight like the world does.

Welcome to our Mother’s Day Worship Service!

Today’s message is more than a celebration of moms — it’s a call to all of us to examine our hearts and confront one of the most common, yet subtle, struggles in our lives: discontentment.

Drawing from Philippians 4:11–13, we reflect on the Apostle Paul’s “secret” of contentment — not in circumstances, but in Christ. In a culture that constantly tells us to want more, today we ask:

What does it mean to be content — truly content — in every situation?

🎯 Whether you’re a mom, a dad, single, married, wealthy, or struggling — this message invites you to pause, shift your perspective, and find lasting peace in Jesus.

👀 We also reflect on how discontentment can creep in unnoticed, often disguised as ambition or comparison, and how Scripture helps us detangle from it.

📖 Key Passages:

• Philippians 4:11–13

• Hebrews 13:5–6

• 1 Timothy 6:6–10

• Hebrews 12:1

• Personal reflections from Respectable Sins by Jerry Bridges

In this message, we dive into John 5:1–15 — the story of Jesus healing the man at the pool of Bethesda, who had been an invalid for 38 years.

Listen as Pastor Joel unpacks:
✨ How Jesus shows His deep knowledge, compassion, and power
✨ Why this healing challenges legalistic mindsets
✨ The connection between physical healing, sin, and the fall

Whether you’re waiting on healing, seeking change, or feeling stuck, today’s message reminds you that Jesus meets you right where you are and offers restoration.

Scripture References: John 5:1–15, Hebrews 4:15–16, Deuteronomy 2:13–15, Numbers 13 & 32

🙏 Join us in praying for serenity to accept what we cannot change, courage to change what we can, and wisdom to know the difference.

The Empty Tomb

20 Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. ² So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”

³ So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. ⁴ Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. ⁵ He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in.⁶ Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, ⁷ as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. ⁸ Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. ⁹ (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.) ¹⁰ Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

¹¹ Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb ¹² and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.

¹³ They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”

“They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.”¹⁴ At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.

¹⁵ He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”

Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”

¹⁶ Jesus said to her, “Mary.”

She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).

¹⁷ Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”

¹⁸ Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.
