The message of life: Jesus' life, death and resurrection breaks every spiritual chain holding us back. Don't be fooled: Demonic language reminds us that EVERY ailment has a spiritual dimension. The invisible world touches everything and everybody. Demons Promise you the power to break your chains and they deliver. The chains you break will be replaced by ones much worse.

Pride is the problem, but how bad is it? A cosmic war is being fought over our hearts and pride is the sign that we're losing. When we're winning, the glory of heaven shines through us.

Special Mother's Day sermon!

The resurrected Jesus meets us in our failure-not to shame us, but to restore us. Conviction leads to repentance, community and renewed purpose. Condemnation isolates and destroys.

Easter Sunday

Luke 5:1-11 This message explores how the most powerful moments in our walk with Jesus often begin not in the crowd but in quiet obedience. Long before the palm branches and praises, it was the simple, sometimes hesitant “yes” of ordinary people—like Peter—that set the movement of Jesus in motion. In a world full of emotion and noise, this sermon challenges us to move beyond being stirred on Sunday to truly surrendering with a “yes” that changes everything.

Guest Speaker: Steve Milunovic

Discipleship is not just knowing what Jesus knows but doing what he did and becoming like him.

Suffering Well through hardship. Daniel 6

Coast Bible Church, PastorTom Bennett, San Juan Capistrano, CA, www.coastbible.org

Mission first, people always. "People always" means leadership that produces shalom in church. "Mission First" means always moving towards the goal. No distractions, no getting sidetracked. Make sure the people around you are leading you towards your shalom.

Tune out the noise! Every great work has its haters. Practice patience and persistence: have a "mind to work." Address the threats, but never forget that GOD's power is making the work effective. Never, ever put down your sword. The enemy is real.

Sorrow: pray about what hurts your heart, it will clarify your calling. Waiting: seasons of prayerful waiting prepare us for life-changing moments. Action: when the time is right, check in with GOD, then DO IT!

Repentance is a U-Turn from sin and self. Off-ramp: Take time with your U-Turn to build back trust. Genuine U-Turns lead to service to the kingdom of GOD. Every U-Turn to Jesus begins a grand adventure.

Repentance is a U-Turn from Sin and Self. Off-ramp: start with your own prayer, then find a fellowship of prayers. Your fellowship needs to hold you accountable and that's not always comfortable. Remember the stakes.

Elder Ordination of Adam Griffin

Repentance is a U-Turn from Sin and Self. Off-ramp: humble yourself, take responsibility for your actions. Take responsibility means making restitution.

Repentance is a U-TURN from sin and self. Off-ramp: Practice being good; it will help you learn repentance. Remember that GOD is jealous for his people. Avoid your idols and/or surrender them. God loves barking and not biting.

Repentance is a U-TURN from sin and self. Off-ramp: repentance happens when we hate our sin and when we love GOD more than we love ourselves. GOD doesn't want grand gestures, he wants a broken heart.

U-Turn: Profiles in Repentance. Cain and Abel Sin is missing the mark, and it always brings consequences. God Gives us many off-ramps to help make a U-Turn. If we don't make a spiritual U-Turns, we'll become restless wanderers.

Guest Speaker: Steve Milunovic: "Take the World, but give me Jesus"

The dysfunction: every family has a black sheep. Maybe this Christmas it's time to bring some black sheep back into the fold. Jesus restores every black sheep.

The Dysfunction: dereliction of duty. The Dysfunction: doubling down The Solution: Jesus shows up.

Every intimate relationship is dysfunctional. Jesus redeems our intimate relationships, making them fully functional.

Every family is dysfunctional. Judgment without mercy is dysfunctional. Mercy without judgment is dysfunctional. Only Jesus' judgment and mercy make us fully functional.

He'll remember that you're the most amazing girl in the world when he gets the respect he needs. The respect he needs appreciates his adventures, leadership and shoulder to shoulder friendship.

Meeting the needs of your spouse or girlfriend. She'll remember that you're the most amazing guy in the world when she gets the love she needs.

Meeting your spouse at the peak of the mountain. It's a trek, it's a journey, but the payoff at the peak is better than you can believe. It's the completion God had in mind when he brought you together in the first place.

The marriage series. You are great when you cultivate. Cultivating GOD's creation is impossible alone. We need families to complete the Marriage Mission. God made Men and women to complete each other. Love and Respect are the key to the marriage mission.

God wants the hardest thing to bring: humility. God doesn't deal in donuts: God is Grace

Sometimes GOD lets bad things happen to force us onto the road. Evangelizing is the easiest when you're with your people. But sometimes you have to get on the road to find them. First responders find the lost and introduce them to Jesus. Experts ground new disciples in the truth of the faith. Intel and logistics reveal what's happening and provide for the vulnerable.

Coast Bible Church, PastorTom Bennett, San Juan Capistrano, CA, www.coastbible.org

On the road, GOD give us space to think and consider. GOD opens our eyes and we do not walk along

Meet seekers on the road of life.

Evangelism is an adventure! Expect resistance. No distractions. Stay focused on the mission. God's people will take care of you!

Hebrews 12 - Series: Everything Starts With Jesus Pt. 2

Mountain-movers are God's people.

God uses people that we think are unusable.

The Church is my people. Don't quit when things get messy. Keep your eyes on the Promised Land.

Sometimes we have to choose whether we want to be right, or righteous.

We are called to live as nomads in this world, living in hope of the City of God.

If a heartless, godless man rewarded righteous persistence, how much more will our Heavenly Father reward us?

Mountain-moving faith experiences future victory right now and proves faith real, it never doubts that the impossible is possible. Mountain-moving faith comes from getting to know God.

Mountain-moving faith experiences future victory right now and proves faith real.

Mountain-moving faith experiences future victory right now and proves faith real. God rewards Bible readers and pray-ers with mountain-moving faith.

The church is a community of faith and one Jesus regards as very important for the believer to be a part of in order to weather life's storms, to keep hope alive in an ever increasingly hopeless world.
