1 Corinthians 14:1-25 | Prophecy and Tongues by Pastor Greg Mah (May 24, 2026)

1. What are the Gifts of Tongues and Prophecy? 2. Why is Prophecy more desirable than Tongues? 3. What principle should guide the gifts of prophecy and tongues? Paul says pursue Love and desire the spiritual gifts that build up… and if it can build up the believers in the room, and benefit the unbelievers in the room… then pursue those greater gifts.

1 Corinthians 12:1-31 | We Need You, You Need Us by Brandon Chai (May 17, 2026)

We will need each other to discover our gifts. We can’t just pray in our room alone and expect God to send a delivery pigeon with our gift. Part of finding our gifts is serving the church body and learning along the way. Things like spiritual gifts tests are great, but those tests don’t actually know you like other people can. Please do not wait to be certain about your gifting before you try serving the church. We all learn along the way as we are affirmed by fellow believers and pointed in the right direction by the Holy Spirit. I am just humbly asking that you prayerfully consider how the Spirit may be inviting you to serve your fellow Christians, whether at this church or in the various spaces you occupy outside the church. Either way, please don’t remain a spectator - get in the game. Because all Christians need the church, and the church needs all Christians. We need you, and you need us. But it’s important to remember - before we give Jesus our hands in service, He first wants our hearts in surrender. So I’m going to pray us out, and we’re going to sing, “Lord, I give you my heart. I give you my soul. I live for you alone.” And I hope that as we sing this, we can make this our collective prayer as a church. As we surrender our hearts to God, I trust the Holy Spirit will open our hands in service to Him.

1 Corinthians 13:1-13 | What is Love? by Pastor Greg Mah (May 10, 2026)

The Lord said very clearly to me, as I was meditating on this very passage: “I have given you the most excellent way. I’ve given you the ministry of love.” And the Lord says that to each of you who has Christ in you. Moms, if you ever feel like you’re not enough… God has given YOU the most excellent way. You have the ability to love. Who else needs to hear that? You may not have the gift of service or administration, but you have love. You may not have a public platform or a wide audience, but you have love. You may not have what she has or he has, but you have love. If God has given you his Son, and he’s put in you His Spirit… then he’s given you the most excellent way. And out of you should come the greatest gift… the gift of LOVE.

Baptism | They've Crossed the Line by Pastor Greg Mah (May 3, 2026)

John 5:24 | “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life. It takes one step of faith to cross over from death to life. One step of repentance- believing that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, the one who died for our sins and rose from the grave. I love that in life you can make 1000 wrong decisions, go in hundreds of wrong directions… but you’re just one step away from forgiveness, hope, newness, and eternal life in heaven with Jesus. Just one step of faith, and you’re saved by grace.

1 Corinthians 11:17-34 | A Picture to Remember by Pastor Dave Romero (April 26, 2026)

Communion is more than a ritual, it’s a moment of honest self-examination for everyone, whether you’re still exploring faith or already walking with Christ. As we remember Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross, we’re reminded that He gave His life for our sins, which invites us to open our hearts fully before Him. Like the prayer in Psalm 139:23–24, we ask God to search us, reveal what’s hidden, and lead us toward lasting transformation. This can mean confronting broken relationships that need healing or recurring sin that requires repentance and Christ’s help to overcome, trusting that He alone sees us clearly and guides us toward the life He intends.
