If you could rewrite your family story, what would you change?
In Week 2 of Citizens of Heaven, Executive Pastor Moises Bejarano takes us through the surprising genealogy of Jesus in Matthew 1—filled with brokenness, scandal, outsiders, and redemption. From Tamar’s shame to Rahab’s redemption, Ruth’s faith, and David’s failure, we see that Jesus didn’t comefrom a perfect family—He came FOR imperfect families like ours.
If you’ve ever felt unworthy, unwanted, or too far gone, this message will remind you: Jesus isn’t ashamed of your story—He came to redeem it.
Comment below: What part of your story have you seen God redeem?

Asking for a Friend
Who—or what—is the Holy Spirit?
For many, the Father and the Son feel understandable, but the Spirit remains mysterious. Is He just a force? A ghostly presence? Or something more?
In the finale of our Asking for a Friend series, Lead Pastor Steve Garcia explores one of the most misunderstood topics in Christianity: the Holy Spirit. From creation to Pentecost to His ongoing work in our lives, the Spirit is not an “it”—He is God, personal and powerful.
If you’ve ever wondered how the Spirit moves, speaks, or empowers believers, this message will open your eyes to God’s presence and power within you.

Asking for a Friend
In Part 3 of Asking for a Friend, Lead Pastor Steve Garcia dives into one of the most mysterious—and often misunderstood—topics in the Bible: the spiritual world. From angels and demons to spiritual warfare and unseen battles, Scripture pulls back the curtain to reveal a reality that is both sobering and hope-filled.
Whether you’ve had questions about guardian angels, demonic oppression, or why the Bible talks so much about spiritual battles, this message will help you see the unseen through the lens of God’s Word.

Asking for a Friend
Are miracles real—or just rare coincidences we exaggerate?
In Part 2 of Asking for a Friend, Lead Pastor Steve Garcia tackles one of the most fascinating questions people ask about faith: What do I believe about miracles? From Jesus raising the dead to modern-day claims of healing, this message explores what separates the improbable from the truly impossible—and why it matters for your life today.
Don’t settle for shallow answers or sensational claims—dig deep into what God says about the supernatural. If Jesus really performed miracles, then maybe we need to take His message seriously too.
💬 Comment below: Do you believe miracles still happen today? Why or why not?

Asking for a Friend
Is sin really that big of a deal? What even is sin? And how does it affect my life today?
In Part 1 of our new series Asking for a Friend, Lead Pastor Steve Garcia tackles one of the most pressing questions Christians (and skeptics) wrestle with: What do I believe about sin? From the Garden of Eden to the cross of Jesus, this message unpacks where sin came from, how it impacts every part of our lives, and why Jesus is the only hope we have for freedom.

Last Words
How do you keep your faith strong when life feels confusing, distracting, or overwhelming? In the closing message of our Last Words series, Pastor David Gaunt unpacks the final MARCS of a disciple: Scriptural. Disciples of Jesus aren’t just hearers of the Word—they are shaped by it, transformed by it, and anchored in it. This message is a call to stay in the Word—to read it, meditate on it, and obey it—because Scripture is the handle that gives us a grip on life and faith.
The difference between drifting and growing often comes down to one thing: whether or not we stay in God’s Word.

Last Words
In Part 4 of our Last Words series, Lead Pastor Steve Garcia unpacks the fourth MARC of a disciple: Communal—the call to grow together with Christ at the center. True biblical community isn’t just friendships or shared hobbies; it’s relationships that stretch us, sharpen us, and prepare us for eternity.
Biblical community is more than Sunday attendance—it’s about living life together, reflecting Jesus in how we love, forgive, serve, and grow. Don’t settle for shallow connections. Step into the kind of relationships that God designed to transform your life.

Above All - You were never meant to be a spiritual dead end.
In Part 3 of our Last Words series, Lead Pastor Steve Garcia unpacks the third MARC of a disciple: Reproducible—the call to invest in others the same way Jesus invested in His disciples. This is more than just knowing about Jesus; it’s about showing Him, growing others in Him, and empowering them to go live for Him.
If you’ve received from Jesus, it’s time to pass it on. Someone is watching your example. Someone needs your encouragement. Someone’s ready for you to hand them the keys.

Above All
Who’s helping you follow Jesus? In Part 2 of our Last Words series, Lead Pastor Steve Garcia unpacks the second MARC of a disciple: Accountable—because staying on mission is impossible if you’re trying to do it alone. Through Jesus’ example with His disciples, we see that biblical accountability isn’t about guilt trips or control—it’s about helping each other stay focused on what matters most: making disciples. If you’ve been drifting in your faith or distracted from Jesus’ mission, this message will show you how inviting the right relationships can sharpen your faith and keep you moving forward.
