Hope Bringers: From Persecutor to Proclaimer | Road Trip

We’re kicking off our summer series, Road Trip, by exploring the missionary journeys of Paul and what it means to be sent by God as hope bringers, Spirit followers, and Kingdom builders. In this message, we look at Saul’s dramatic encounter with Jesus, the faithful obedience of Ananias, and the intentional investment of Barnabas. Their stories remind us that God is the one who reaches people—but He often chooses to work through us. As you listen, consider: • Who is God calling you to reach out to? • Who is God calling you to invest in?

The End Times | Listen To Jesus

What did Jesus actually teach about the end times? In Matthew 24, Jesus answers His disciples' questions about the destruction of the Temple, His return, and the end of the age. This message explores the difference between the events surrounding Jerusalem's fall in AD 70 and the future return of Christ, while addressing common misunderstandings about biblical prophecy. Most importantly, Jesus reminds us that no one knows the day or hour of His return. Rather than focusing on predicting the future, He calls His followers to remain faithful, ready, and watchful in their relationship with God as they await His coming.

Hospitality | Listen to Jesus

What does it look like to build a table that reflects the heart of Jesus? In this message from our Listen to Jesus series, we explore Jesus' teaching on hospitality and His example of welcoming those who are often overlooked, excluded, or pushed to the margins. Through His words and actions, Jesus challenges us to move beyond comfort and convenience, creating space for genuine relationships, deeper compassion, and a community where everyone belongs. Join us as we consider how the love of Christ can shape the way we see, serve, and walk alongside one another.

Money | Listen to Jesus

In a world that constantly tells us to accumulate more, what does Jesus say about our relationship with wealth, time, and identity? This week, as we continue our Listen to Jesus series, we welcome guest speaker Mario Romero to share a powerful message rooted in Luke 12:13-21. Looking closely at the Parable of the Rich Fool, Mario challenges us to look beyond what we are holding onto and discover the true freedom found in the Kingdom of God.

Divorce | Listen to Jesus

In our Listen to Jesus series, we wrestle with one of Jesus’ most challenging teachings: divorce and the nature of marriage. Looking at Matthew 5 and Matthew 19, we explore God’s design for marriage, the pain and complexity of divorce, and the grace Jesus offers in the middle of brokenness. This message is both honest and hope-filled, reminding us that God’s grace fills the gap between where we are and where He calls us to be.
