The Ultimate Blessing

Names of God (El Roi)

“From Broken to Sent”  Pastor Ryan opens with Psalm 139:1–4 (KJV) to emphasize that God knows and cares for every detail of our lives. He teaches a five-step journey from brokenness to being sent:  1. Diagnosis—brokenheartedness met by El Roi, “the God who sees,” illustrated through Hagar in Genesis 16;  2. Interruption—Jehovah Shammah, “the Lord is there,” even in ruins like Ezekiel 48:35;  3. Restoration—Jehovah Rapha, the healer who binds wounds (Psalm 147:3) and sweetens bitter places (Exodus 15);  4. Sustained peace—Jehovah Shalom, wholeness amid conflict, shown in Gideon’s altar (Judges 6:24)  5. Commission—El Rachum v’Chanun, the compassionate and gracious God (Exodus 34:6), calling healed people to extend mercy and serve others rather than consume church. ——— Join us for our Sunday services at 10 AM and 4 PM.

Names of God (Ehyeh) Part 7

Jesus the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:1–6) Ps Ryan teaches from John 14:1–6 where Jesus says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life,” emphasizing that this is not merely doctrine but Jesus Himself as the fulfillment of Jewish categories: halakha (the way), emet (truth), and chayim (life). Ps. Ryan contrasts modern Christianity’s split between faith and daily life with a lived, relational walk with Christ, urging believers to stay close to the Shepherd rather than chase religious systems, rules, or special moments. He explains “progressive revelation,” arguing Scripture is God-breathed through imperfect people and that God’s revelation moves toward its perfect expression in Jesus, using examples like slavery and treatment of women. He stresses truth is a person known by relationship, and closes with Jesus’ mercy to the adulterous woman: “Neither do I condemn you…go and sin no more,” calling the church to welcome people safely without condemnation while exalting Jesus alone. ——— Join us for our Sunday services at 10 AM and 4 PM.

Names of God (Ehyeh) Part 6

I am the Good Shepherd Pastor Ryan teaches that God provides fully, but believers must choose to desire Him (“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want,” Psalm 23:1). Using the “valley of the shadow of death” imagery, he says the shepherd doesn’t reroute the sheep; the daily habit of walking with the shepherd prepares them to pass through darkness with God’s presence (Psalm 23:4). He contrasts “I will fear no evil” with never feeling fear, calling believers to keep walking even afraid. He explains the rod (protection/discipline/inspection) and staff (guidance/alignment/comfort), then highlights God’s provision at the table, anointing oil, overflowing cup, and the truth that goodness and mercy follow those who keep walking (Psalm 23:5–6) ——— Join us for our Sunday services at 10 AM and 4 PM.

Names of God (Ehyeh) Part 5

I Am the Good Shepherd: Psalm 23 and John 10. Ps. Ryan continues the “Names of God” series by connecting Exodus 3:14 (“I AM”) with Jesus’ declaration in John 10:11-16 that He is the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep, bringing both Israel and Gentiles into one flock. Using Psalm 23:1-4, it explains that “The Lord (Yahweh) is my shepherd” is God’s promise to provide, while “I shall not want” is the believer’s response to desire God above His gifts, rejecting a “vending machine” faith. Ps. Ryan emphasizes worship and commitment rather than church-hopping, and teaches that the Shepherd makes sheep rest, leads them to green pastures and still waters, and restores “cast” sheep through patient, protective care. Even in the “valley of the shadow of death,” believers can walk without fear because the Shepherd is with them. ——— Join us for our Sunday services at 10 AM and 4 PM.

Abba Father (Ps. Imee Francisco)

Abba Father: From Orphan Spirit to Adopted Sonship In this Father’s Day message by Ps. Imee Francisco titled “Abba Father, the cry that was always yours” explores the word “Abba” being mentioned three times in Scripture—Romans 8:15, Galatians 4:6, and Jesus’ prayer in Gethsemane (“Abba Father… not my will but yours”).  Ps. Imee teaches that crying “Abba” is not human effort but a gift given through the Holy Spirit because of Christ’s finished work, emphasizing God as a personal, good Father regardless of one’s earthly father experience. The sermon identifies “orphan spirit” mindsets—seeking love apart from God, comparison, internal strife, overperformance for approval, and confirmation bias from pain—and urges believers to replace them with their inheritance as adopted children, grounded in Scripture and the Spirit’s witness. It ends with a call to forgive, surrender wounds, and worship God as Abba. ------- Join us for our Sunday services at 10 AM and 4 PM.
