If you are feeling beaten down, weary and overwhelmed by all of the hardships of life, there is great news for you: God is inviting you to an eternity with Him in Heaven. What is Heaven going to be like? Do we all have our own mansions? Do we float around on puffy clouds playing harps all day long? In part 6 of a message series called “Future Revealed”, Pastor Steve teaches through Revelation 21 and 22: all about Heaven. God, the creator, transforming heaven and earth into a new heaven and a new earth. Majestic, beautiful, free of racism, ageism, sexism, and classism. Gone will be the dividing lines that plagues our world today. So how can I get ready for heaven right now? Pastor Steve gives us 3 ways: Bless Jesus, Dress Like Jesus and say Yes to Jesus. If you are looking for encouragement and hope today, listen to the powerful Truth of this message: Jesus is faithful and true and always finishes what he starts! There is an amazing future in glory awaiting all who trust in Jesus.

Do you grow weary of all of the pain, heartache and wickedness in this world?
Friends, we have a HOPE that one day soon there will be an end to the evil, deception and of the enemy himself. God’s judgment is coming to this world, and though He is a patient God who wants all to come to know Him, there will be a time where He puts an end to it all.
Are you ready?
In this message, part 5 of a series through the Book of Revelation called Future Revealed, Pastor Steve walks us through the final Judgment found in Revelation 17-20. And though there may be more deception and more pain to come in the future, the hope that we can have is that in the end - JESUS WINS! So, let’s join the right team, admit the core problem and share the good news of the freedom, forgiveness and abundance that God so freely offers each of us!

Is the COVID vaccine the mark of the beast? Is the antichrist in power right now? How do we read Revelation 13 and truly understand what God wants us to understand about the end times and the influence of the antichrist on our world. Pastor Steve Garcia breaks down this chapter and helps us keep our eyes on the larger story: that Satan is posturing himself to try and take the place of God. And though the beast will rise to power, the beast is on a leash!
In this message, we will be encouraged and empowered to not be deceived by the evil one and how we can stand strong and be confident in our faith in Jesus, no matter what!

If you have experienced it yet, there is coming a day when hostility toward Christians will become more intense. It’s happening all over the world today; people are being killed because of their faith in Jesus Christ. Pain and suffering heaped on those who refuse to renounce their Christian faith. Here in America, it is sometimes difficult to comprehend that kind of persecution and hostility and so when we read from Revelation about the extreme hostility towards Christ-followers, we distance ourselves from it. In part 3 of our sermon series on the book of Revelation, Future Revealed, Pastor John Hill unpacks Revelation chapter 11 about the future events that are coming our way through God’s judgment on this earth. He helps bring clarity to some of the mysterious details and gives us ways that we can experience God today even in the face of hostility.

The Book of Revelation can be confusing and difficult to understand at times, but one thing that is for sure is that suffering is coming our way. We see it now, with the wars and sickness, pain and brokenness, but what does the Bible say about the suffering that is coming? Pastor Steve Garcia walks us through Revelation 6-7, helping us understand the magnitude of God’s justice and His love. If you are feeling overwhelmed with the suffering and pain and brokenness in this world, we pray that you will find encouragement, hope, and peace through this message as we see God’s plan in how He is going to ultimately deal with it all, and be inspired to live with purpose in the days we have be given.

Is the book of Revelation unfolding as we speak?
Is Putin the antiChrist?
Is the COVID vaccine the mark of the beast?
Is Jesus about to come again?
These are the questions that keep many of us up at night in anxiety, especially in light of the events that are going on in our world today. What does the Bible say about the end of the world? The Bible contains the book of Revelation, inspired by God as a culmination to the unfolding story of God that began with God in perfect communion with humanity and ends with God in perfect communion with humanity. In this message, Pastor Steve takes us through the first 3 chapters of Revelation to uncover the convicting and encouraging words of Jesus to the 7 churches and ultimately to us. This world is full of pain, and the pain will only intensify, but we can hold on to and believe that in the end, GOD WINS.

What should you do if you are married to someone who doesn’t share the same faith as you? Maybe you became a Christian after you got married, but your spouse didn’t. Maybe you got married thinking you could convert your spouse. Maybe it didn’t really matter to you that you didn’t share the same faith when you got married, but now it does. How do you navigate a relationship when you are going in different directions spiritually? Is it even possible to still be a #happycouple? In this message, Pastor Joel Sanchez walks us through key Bible passages that give us guidance on how to handle being in significant relationships with someone who doesn’t share our faith, as well as ways we can bring the Gospel to an unbelieving world, even in our homes.

Do you remember the first time you ever learned about sex? Was it in a middle school locker room or maybe an awkward conversation with a parent or maybe in your elementary health class. Conversations about sex are often uncomfortable especially in the context of church, but the Bible actually has quite a bit to say about sex. God created it with purpose and has a best plan for what role sex should play in our lives. This week, in part 2 of our message series, #happycouple, Pastor Steve unpacks what the Bible has to say about sex and gives challenging and practical wisdom in how we can honor God with our bodies, married or unmarried, amidst a topic that has become so distorted by our world.

Genesis 2:8-24
Genesis 3:1-7
Matthew 19:4-6
1 Corinthians 5:1-17

How would you describe your current and past relationships? Are they growing and thriving and healthy or do you always seem to find yourself at a dramatic dead-end, wondering what went wrong? Maybe you’ve been married for 30 years and you look at your spouse and long for something better. Maybe you’ve never been married and have big hopes and dreams for your future marriage.
The Bible actually has A LOT to say about what a healthy marriage looks like - God created us to be in a relationship, He is the author of marriage. In this message, Pastor Steve Garcia brings us to the book of Genesis and throughout the Bible to unpack God’s original intent of what an ideal relationship looks like. He shares practical and Godly wisdom to be able to identify what kind of relationship you are drawn to, and steps you can take to be a part of a HAPPY COUPLE.
