What are you facing in your life that feels impossible? What is something you are waiting on that feels like it’s never going to happen? What addictions, negative thoughts, or toxic people are you trying to fight in your own power? In part 1 of this message series, FLEX, Pastor Steve Garcia unpacks the origin story of Samson from Judges 13, a story that actually begins before he is ever even born. Samson’s story begins with parents who have to fight the odds and trust in a God who is promising a big and hopeful future in the face of a barren and hopeless present.
///Jesus has already won the war, so let’s walk in His strength through the battles///

Maybe you’ve heard someone say that “God called them to the job they are in” and it left you wondering if God has your number because you definitely don’t feel like he called you. What is a calling? And how does God’s calling in your life impact your career choices? In this message, Pastor Steve Garcia helps identify 5 key questions to ask as you are trying to determine God’s calling in your life.
/// God cares more about your OBEDIENCE than your OCCUPATION ///

In a world full of achievements, ladder climbing, 24-hour access to messages and emails, the idea of REST seems like an impossibility. But what if our inability to rest has less to do with our calendars and more to do with our inability to trust in a powerful, loving God? Check out this message by Pastor Anthony Riley about what the Bible has to say about rest. If God rested, maybe we should too!

Which is more important: who you are or what you do? Maybe you are an incredible designer but horrible to people. Maybe you are the nicest chef ever but the food you make is nasty. Pastor Steve encourages us from Colossians 3 to see our work as a balance of INTEGRITY and QUALITY. What if both WHAT WE DO and HOW WE DO IT could reflect Jesus to the people we work with every day.
“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth with a pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.” - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

We all love to read or watch a good story, but most of us don’t really want to live one. Good stories involve heartache and defeating the odds; but to be honest, many of us just want a quiet, predictable, easy life. But what if God is wanting to make your story a GREAT story. How is He using the tragedies, trouble, and transitions in your life to grow you into the person He wants you to be? Check out this message in part 3 of our series GROWN as Pastor Steve shares about how PIVOTAL CIRCUMSTANCES are essential to our spiritual growth.

Sometimes we feel stuck in our spiritual life because we know what God is telling us to do, but we don’t actually want to do it. But that’s where spiritual growth takes place: in that space when I decide that what God HAS for me is better than what I WANT for me.
