Faith Chapel

This message reveals the power and majesty of El Elyon — God Most High, the One who rules above all powers, kingdoms, and names. From Melchizedek blessing Abram to the fiery furnace where Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego stood unshaken, we see that El Elyon is not just sovereign in title but supreme in authority and presence. He alone establishes boundaries for the seas, commands the angels, and reigns as refuge for those who dwell in His shadow. Jesus, our eternal High Priest in the order of Melchizedek, embodies this same Most High God — the One who delivers, protects, and reigns forever. This sermon calls us to recognize His unmatched supremacy, to place no other gods before Him, and to live anchored in the confidence that there is truly no other God who can rescue, reign, or redeem like El Elyon.

In this powerful message from Luke 19, we're reminded that the arrival of God's kingdom is not primarily about timing but about a Person—Jesus—who came “to seek and save the lost,” and whose presence brings the kingdom wherever He is. Using the parable of the nobleman and his servants, Pastor Josiah calls us to take seriously the assignments and opportunities we've been entrusted with now, because our faithfulness in the present realm prepares us for greater responsibility in the coming realm. The sermon warns against a fearful, passive faith that hides what's been given and instead urges risk, investment, and bold obedience—because sitting on what God gives results in loss, while faithful use multiplies it. The bottom line: make Jesus and His word your priority, let them shape how you live, and then step out to blitz culture with the message and power of God—He's already given you what you need to honor Him.

“What a God! What a God!” we sang as His presence filled the room. Pastor Josiah reminded us that Faith Chapel's mission is to culture like Christ and our vision is Jesus. Continuing from past messages of “Championship Faith” and Bartimaeus' healing, we encountered Zacchaeus—the rich tax collector who climbed a sycamore tree to see Jesus. Though Zacchaeus tried to hide, Jesus saw him, called him by name, and brought salvation to his house. Pastor Josiah emphasized that we can't hide forever; God sees us even in our shame and calls us into His light. Just like Zacchaeus, one encounter with Jesus transforms everything—He seeks, He saves, and He restores what was broken.

In this powerful message, Pastors Tim and Greg Hendricks challenge us to stop negotiating with the enemy and fully surrender our lives to Jesus. True victory—winning God's way—comes through faithfulness, holiness, and total devotion. Pastor Greg reminds us that the world may label us, but only Jesus gives us legitimacy and eternal life. Like the faithful sons of Zadok, access to God follows allegiance to Him. Holiness isn't perfection but alignment—what we tolerate privately will eventually show publicly. When we stay faithful in the fire, live holy as a lifestyle, and remain committed to our inheritance in Christ, we experience the closeness, freedom, and divine connection that only full surrender brings.

In this message, we dive into the revelation of God's name—Elohim, the Creator and Covenant-Keeper. From the opening pages of Genesis to the declarations of the prophets, Elohim reveals Himself as the One who formed us in His image, who keeps covenant and mercy to a thousand generations (Deut. 7:9), and who calls us to walk in unity and holiness before Him. When Moses asked, “What is His name?” (Ex. 3:13), God began to unfold a mystery that would echo through time: the same Elohim who said, “Let Us make man in Our image” (Gen. 1:26) is revealed in Jesus Christ, the visible image of the invisible God (Col. 1:15).Through the Word, the Spirit, and the Son, we discover that Elohim is One—yet moves in perfect harmony as Father, Son, and Spirit. He is the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace (Isa. 9:6), who calls His people to live as one, walk in His covenant, and reflect His image in the world. As we come to know His name, we also come to know who we are—His witnesses, His creation, and His covenant family, empowered by His Spirit to carry His glory from generation to generation.

In this powerful message, Pastor Josiah reminds us that our mission is to culture like Christ and our vision is Jesus. Looking at the story of Bartimaeus in Mark 10, we see how our true identity in Christ should shape our circumstances—not the other way around. Like Bartimaeus, we are called to throw off the old coat, cry out in faith, and pursue Jesus with everything in us. When we understand who we are in Him—chosen, redeemed, forgiven, and loved—our breakthroughs become moments that lead us into deeper devotion. May this message stir your heart to trust, surrender, and follow Jesus wherever He leads.

Experience a powerful move of God in this service filled with Spirit-led worship, baptisms, and communion as Faith Chapel closes the Daniel Fast and reflects on what it means to truly follow Jesus. Pastor Josiah Elias preaches “Built in the Shadows,” reminding us that in the Kingdom of God, success isn't measured by what we have but by Who we follow. Through 1 Corinthians and Matthew 19, we learn that surrender, not possession, brings freedom—that it's not about the what but the Who. Joined by Pastors Ashley and Greg Elias, this message calls us to release what holds us back, draw closer to Jesus, and live for His glory. Watch now and be encouraged to seek the Kingdom first and let Jesus be Lord over every part of your life.

Faith Chapel lifted their voices declaring, “You've never failed me yet,” a reminder that though people may fail us, the Lord never does. Joel Muñoz encouraged everyone to “give the Holy Spirit the right of way,” allowing Him to convict, guide, and transform every part of our lives. Pastor Josiah then highlighted the power of testimony, introducing David Moreno, who shared how God miraculously healed his rib—confirmed by doctors—after prayer with his family. Guest speaker David Diga Hernandez followed, teaching from 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 that the Holy Spirit reveals the deep things of God and invites us into continual fellowship with Him. Using an illustration of body, soul, and spirit, David explained that our true identity is found in the spirit, and we are called not to strive for growth but to align our whole being with who we already are in Christ. Instead of performing or exhausting ourselves in ministry, we are to surrender, trust, and obey—letting the Spirit's living water flow through us so that we can truly be the salt and light of the world.

When God appeared to Abram at ninety-nine years old, He revealed Himself as El Shaddai — “God Almighty” (Genesis 17:1). This was more than a name; it was a revelation of His nature. El Shaddai means the All-Sufficient One — the God who is more than enough. To a man who was old and childless, God declared that His power was not limited by human weakness. He made a covenant with Abraham, promising descendants, nations, and kings to come from him. Every time “El Shaddai” appeared again in Scripture — with Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph — it reaffirmed God's unshakable faithfulness to multiply, bless, and sustain His people beyond their ability.In the New Testament, that same power and sufficiency are revealed in Jesus Christ. As the True Vine (John 15:1), He prunes and grows His people to bear fruit. Through His authority (Matthew 28:18–20), the Church carries on the mission of El Shaddai — to multiply disciples across nations. Paul reminds us in Ephesians 4:11–13 that maturity in Christ comes when we are equipped and unified, fully dependent on His strength. Just as newborns crave pure spiritual milk (1 Peter 2:2–3), we must remain nourished by His Word to grow in the fullness of His covenant.Finally, in Revelation 1, John encounters the risen Christ — radiant, powerful, and alive forevermore. The same voice that spoke to Abraham now declares, “I am the First and the Last.” El Shaddai has not changed. He still keeps His promises, still multiplies His people, and still holds all authority in heaven and on earth. Our response, like Abraham's, is to fall before Him in worship, walk blamelessly, and trust that the Almighty is more than enough for every generation.

The service began with a powerful prayer from Pastor Tim, “We want You! Saturate this room with Your presence,” and the Lord answered—His presence filled the room so strongly that worship flowed beyond schedule, as the church chose His timeline over theirs. Pastor Josiah emphasized “His presence above everything” and encouraged alignment with God's will, reminding the church of previous teachings about going deep and wide, being productive according to God's plan, and avoiding complacency. Returning to the Red Letter series, Pastor Josiah preached “Braided” from Luke 18:1–8, where Jesus taught to “always pray and never give up.” He compared the widow's persistence before an unjust judge to our faith before a just God, urging believers to press in with prayer, endurance, and faith. He showed how Jesus braided these three truths together—always praying, never giving up, and anchoring faith in persistence. Just as Elijah's servant saw the cloud only after seven looks and the blind woman received healing after her eighth prayer, Pastor Josiah reminded everyone that faith often requires perseverance. The message concluded with a charge: to stay braided—pray continually, never give up, and anchor into faith that not only acknowledges reality but transforms it—becoming salt and light in a challenging world.

Faith Chapel began 2026 with joyful expectation—declaring that this will be an amazing year filled with God's favor! The message centered on knowing the Name of the Lord and the power that comes with it. From Isaiah 52:6 to Psalm 9:10 and 91:14, we were reminded that those who trust in His Name are protected and never forsaken. Pastor Josiah highlighted how, from Genesis to Exodus, God revealed Himself progressively—from Creator to I AM WHO I AM—the eternal, self-existent One who rescues, provides, and leads His people. In John 17:6, Jesus declared that He manifested the Father's Name to His followers, showing that knowing His Name means knowing His heart. As we step into 2026, we're invited to trust, seek, and love the Lord who makes Himself known to those who call upon His Name.

This powerful message invites us into a transformative 21-day journey of fasting that goes far beyond dietary restrictions. Drawing from Acts 2:42-47, we discover ten essential tools the early church used to cultivate deep spiritual vitality: studying God's Word, fellowshipping together, sharing meals in community, taking communion, praying consistently, focusing on God with awe, ministering to one another, serving sacrificially, worshiping collectively, and enjoying the journey with joy. The heart of biblical fasting isn't about punishing ourselves or manipulating God, but rather silencing the distracting groans of our flesh to better engage our spirit. Through Isaiah 58, we're reminded that God desires authentic transformation over religious performance. He wants us to free the oppressed, feed the hungry, and live justly, not merely go through spiritual motions. The challenge before us is profound: rather than excelling for just three weeks only to return to old patterns, we're called to use this season as a launchpad for permanent lifestyle changes. This isn't about knocking it out of the park temporarily, but about becoming the men and women of God we're called to be forever. As we fast, we're invited to ask what God wants to bring us into personally and corporately, preparing our hearts for the deeper things He has in store

Sunday's service began with powerful worship, heartfelt baptisms, and meaningful communion, filled with phrases that lingered—“Oh how we love You,” “When faith meets the water,” and “Jesus says it and does it.” Pastor Josiah introduced the guest speaker, his father and evangelist George Elias, who shared photos of Josiah's baptism and ordination while expressing gratitude for how Josiah and Ashley lovingly shepherd Faith Chapel. George spoke on steadfastness from Psalm 57:7, reminding us to stay firm and balanced in our walk with the Lord despite the enemy's distractions. He urged believers to nurture their God-given dreams and shared “6 Keys to Living Steadfast in 2026”: strengthening marriage and family, walking in calling and purpose, cultivating prayer and intimacy, trusting God through life's circumstances, standing firm against sin, and living a lifestyle of soul-winning. With Scripture woven throughout, George encouraged the church to finish well, live faithfully, and let our lives reflect Jesus' love to a world in need.

Pastor Josiah asked, “What do you bring to the King?” and answered, “A gift of honor simply,” reminding us that Jesus is worthy of it all. At FC, where the mission is to culture like Christ and the vision is Jesus, we reflected on the story of the ten lepers in Luke 17. These men lived isolated in “no man's land,” yet when they cried out, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us,” their faith and obedience led to healing as they went to show themselves to the priests. Like them, we are called to hear, believe, and do—trusting God to meet us in motion even when we do not yet see the miracle. Pastor Josiah also encouraged us to “keep telling your stories,” for testimonies carry the spirit of prophecy (Revelation 19:10) and reveal God's power to transform lives. Just as the lepers likely heard of Jesus through someone else's story, our testimonies can inspire faith in others. We were reminded that God moves in new ways—Jesus healed the blind differently each time—so we must release preconceived notions and stay open to His direction. Like the one thankful leper who returned to glorify God and received not just healing but wholeness, may we be people who move in faith, give thanks with honor, and keep our eyes on Jesus, the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

This message centered on Jesus as Emanuel—“God with us”—reminding us that He will never leave nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5), a truth echoed through worship that lifted our hearts to the Lord. Though we may find ourselves in seasons of spiritual battle, Scripture assures us that victory belongs to the Lord (Proverbs 21:31), calling us to rest in Him rather than strive. Pastor Josiah walked us through John 11 and the story of Lazarus, highlighting faith beyond deadlines, when human hope seems exhausted but God still has the final word. Through Martha and Mary, we saw both active faith and abiding faith, culminating in Jesus' powerful declaration, “I am the resurrection and the life,” one of His five “I Am” statements that demand not only belief but lived trust every day of the week. Even in grief and confusion, Mary ran to Jesus, and Jesus met her pain with compassion—“Jesus wept”—revealing a Savior who understands our suffering and remains faithful. As the stone was rolled away despite objections and decay, we were reminded that revival and growth may come with discomfort, yet thanksgiving prepares the way for miracles. Jesus' command, “Lazarus, come out,” demonstrated that He is the Answer who calls life out of death and restoration out of despair. The paramount point remains: don't get lost in the questions when you can be found in the Answer—Jesus, who loves us, restores us, sits with us in our pain, and is more than enough in every circumstance.

The young boy who offered his five loaves and two fish reminds us that when we give Jesus what we have, He multiplies it beyond measure. Pastor Josiah shared how our small acts of generosity allow us to “write ourselves into the story.” Continuing FC's mission to culture like Christ and vision of Jesus, this week's message—“The Twin”—focused on Thomas, who moved from doubt to deep faith. From John 11, we saw that Lazarus's story “would not end in death” but in God's glory, reminding us that even when we're in the middle of struggle, the story is not over. Jesus performs miracles not to impress but to reveal His love and character. Through Thomas, we learned that pain and disappointment can cloud our faith, but Jesus invites us, like Thomas, to look up, believe, and be transformed. Pastor Josiah urged us, “Don't let pain suffocate your faith.” Instead, lift your eyes to the Savior—He is still mending hearts, restoring hope, and bringing light into our darkest places.

This powerful message takes us deep into Luke 16, where Jesus shares the sobering account of the rich man and Lazarus—a story that forces us to confront the eternal consequences of how we live today. What makes this teaching particularly striking is that it's the only parable where Jesus names specific individuals, suggesting this may be more than just a story—it could be an actual account of eternal realities. We're challenged to examine our stewardship not just of money, but of our entire lives. The rich man had everything he wanted in his earthly existence, living in luxury while Lazarus suffered at his gate. Yet after death, their positions were eternally reversed. This isn't primarily about wealth versus poverty, but about the heart condition that our choices reveal. Abraham's bosom represents the place where the faithful rested before Christ's ultimate sacrifice, while Hades held those separated from God. The chasm between them couldn't be crossed—a haunting reminder that our eternal destiny is determined by decisions we make in this life. What's most convicting is the rich man's realization that even someone rising from the dead wouldn't convince his brothers to change. We have everything we need right now—Scripture, the Holy Spirit, and the testimony of Christ's resurrection—to make the choice that matters most. This message isn't meant to motivate us through fear of hell, but to awaken us to the beauty of falling in love with Jesus and living a life that honors Him while we still have breath in our lungs.

This powerful exploration of Joshua chapter 2 takes us beyond the familiar story of Jericho's walls to uncover what it truly means to live with conquering faith. We discover that God hasn't just called us to be intimate worshipers—though that's beautiful and essential—but also to be invincible warriors who push back the gates of hell. The narrative of the two spies finding Rahab becomes a prophetic picture of how God sends us out to be fruitful and multiply His kingdom. What's remarkable is that these spies found the one person in all of Jericho who believed in God, and she happened to be a prostitute whose very name means 'wide and spacious'—a stunning reminder that what we see as impossible, God sees as an opportunity to blow things wide open. We learn four essential pillars of conquering faith: trusting God's process even when it doesn't make sense, trusting His possibilities when circumstances seem hopeless, trusting His providence to provide exactly what we need, and trusting His preparation that goes before us into our future. The message challenges us to stop wandering in our own wilderness of doubt and step into the promised land of victory that God has already secured for us. Every promise we're meant to capture comes with a problem to be conquered, but God has already prepared the solution before we even arrive at the challenge.

Joel Munoz encouraged us with Matthew 7:24 and Hebrews 12:28–29, reminding us to stand on the Rock and be thankful for the unshakable kingdom we've received. Pastor Josiah's message, “In God We Trust,” pointed us back to the heart behind our national motto and to whom our trust truly belongs. From Luke 16, Jesus' parable of the shrewd manager illustrated how our handling of worldly possessions reveals the condition of our hearts. Pastor Josiah reminded us that tests from God are not traps but opportunities for revelation and growth—He sees everything and still loves us. We must choose who our master will be, for no one can serve both God and money. Our money can serve God, but God will never serve money. True trust in Him brings freedom, blessing, and an eternal perspective. When we prioritize Jesus above all, we become salt and light in a world that desperately needs His truth and grace.

The service began with powerful worship, heartfelt baptisms, and communion, setting the stage for a moving message from guest speaker Brian Barcelona. Brian shared his testimony of transformation—from a sixteen-year-old atheist to a follower of Christ—after a persistent friend invited him to church. During worship, Brian challenged God to reveal Himself, and in that moment, he was overwhelmed by divine love and surrendered his life to Jesus. He reminded us that in rooms like these, people are set free from addiction, healed from pain, and restored in faith. Brian then spoke about the man in Acts 3 who sat outside the temple gate for forty years—close to the presence of God, yet missing the moments of encounter. Like him, we can attend services and still miss Jesus if we settle for “spare change” instead of true transformation. His message reminded us that God doesn't just want to change our circumstances—He wants to change us.

We began by declaring the powerful names of God—Elohim, Adonai, Rapha, Nissi, Shaddai—proclaiming that the name of the Lord is our strong tower and hiding place. What a beautiful way to worship the Creator who calls us His own, as Joel Munoz reminded us through Isaiah 43: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.” Pastor Josiah continued the theme of being on mission, reminding us that whether across the street or around the world, we are called to reach the lost. In Luke 15, Jesus shared how the shepherd leaves the ninety-nine to find the one lost sheep, revealing God's heart for every person who has wandered away. Just as God sought Adam and Eve in the garden, He seeks us still. We were lost, but He found us. Pastor Josiah encouraged us to be equipped, to stand firm, and to help others find Jesus—because our walk with Him is not a sprint, but a lifelong journey of faith and endurance.

Pastor Josiah reminded us that our mission is to culture like Christ and our vision is Jesus. Last week's message, “No Excuses,” called us to align our hearts and minds with the Lord, while this week's sermon, “Live on Mission,” built on that as our Africa team returned. Centered on Luke 14–15, Pastor Josiah challenged us to put Jesus first, even above family and comfort, teaching that denying ourselves is truly honoring Him. The Africa team shared how saying “yes” to God transformed their lives and deepened their faith through miracles, healing, and boldness. From delays to divine encounters, they witnessed God's abundant life (John 10:10) and saw how He moves both in Africa and here at home. As Pastor Josiah said, whether across the street or across the world, we are called to live on mission—to say “yes” to Jesus and be salt and light in a dark world.

The title of the sermon was “The Power of Agreement.” We are free to come into agreement with Christ Jesus everyday. We can say “Yes” to Jesus daily, and we are free to stand for Him in our words and actions; thus you are always on assignment for Jesus. The power of agreement with Jesus puts you in alignment with Him. Pastor Greg read from Mark about the paralyzed man whose four friends carried him to the Lord. These men evaluated the situation, decided the area was too crowded, so they climbed on the roof while carrying their friend. They opened the roof and “lowered the mat the man was lying on. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, 'Son, your sins are forgiven.'” Mark 2:4b-5 “Jesus saw their faith, and He was moved by it.Agreement turns weakness into witness and struggle into strength. The four men were in agreement that their friend needed healing, that Jesus could heal him, and that they could carry him. Pastor Greg posed two pertinent questions for us to ponder. The first one was “Who are you carrying towards Jesus right now?” The second was “When was the last time you let someone carry you?”Several verses discussed the power of two or more. “Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.” Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (NIV) In the New Testament it says “Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2 (NIV) Also Paul wrote, “We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves.” Romans 15:1 (NIV) We live in community, and when we do, we get to help each other. Agreement is the bridge between brokenness and breakthrough.

Pastor Erick Aguilar's sermon was entitled “The Heart Before the Gift.” He read about Joshua and the Israelite army were to ”March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days. Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams' horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets. When you hear them sound a long blast on the trumpets, have the whole army give a loud shout; then the wall of the city will collapse….” Joshua 6:3-5 (NIV)Those instructions seem ludicrous to us so imagine how they sounded to Joshua and the mighty army of God. They were to march silently for six days around the city walls. Do those directions empower an army before it launches into a battle against its rival? God's plans are higher than man's plans. Pastor Erick's Paramount Point was Worship is a weapon that must be coupled with obedience. Why do we worship? We worship first and foremost because we have an innate desire to adore Him who created us. “Yet God made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end.” Ecclesiastes 3:11 We want to know our Creator. We want to know who He is and how He functions. Every human has a sense of our smallness in contrast to His grandeur and power. He is beyond our imagination, and yet we want to know Him. That is why we worship.Additionally, obedience is costly. Pastor Erick cited the life of King Saul. The Lord had directed him to kill all the Amalekites and their livestock. However, Saul saw some livestock he valued and saved the livestock and the king of the Amalekites. When Samuel the prophet confronted King Saul and his disobedience, Saul justified his behavior and stated that he had obeyed the Lord. Saul was in denial. “But Samuel replied, 'What is more pleasing to the Lord; your burnt offers and sacrifices or your obedience to his voice?'” 1 Samuel 15:22Saul wanted what he wanted including God's approval of his disobedience. “When we put our words in God's mouth, we are in danger,” emphasized Pastor Erick. Saul was more interested in what he wanted instead of what God instructed. Pastor Erick repeated Pastor Greg Hendrick's words,”Failing the instructions means succeeding in destruction.” Saul continued in his path of disobedience and even went so far as to erect a monument to himself. Obedience quickly becomes disobedience when the assignment has changed

While we are in a great place of excitement for Lord and to see him move in Revival. We must first look to past moves of God to understand more about what Revival looks like, the spiritual cost that comes with it and to examine ourselves are we truly in position with the capacity to carry it out under the leading of Holy Spirit? There are 3 parts to this message: The Necessary role a BURDEN from the Lord plays in Revival, are we positioned to STEWARD it and to build an appetite for the FRUIT of Revival. Key Scripture is Zechariah 4:6 ESV "...Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD."

Jesus teaches a parable of people invited to a banquet, through they've agreed to come, excuses begin to flow once the banquet is ready.Pastor Josiah takes us into an intrinsic look at the reasons behind their excuses and how it applies to us today. This is not a time for excuses. If we look for them, we'll find them! But if we look and stay committed, we'll never be disappointed we made that decision!

John Mark isn't a widely known biblical character however without him, we wouldn't have the Gospel of Mark! He made a profound impact on our world. Pastor Josiah shares 7 contributing factors that led to how John Mark went from a prayer house, to the mission field, to a Gospel writer. Covering the people he labored alongside - their successes and their opportunities to grow.

Don't get stuck. Making the shift to the new and beautiful thing the Lord is doing is so vital. John the Baptist was caught between two convenants and had a hard time transitioning " out of the kitchen" and onto the "dinner table" so to speak. If you're constantly cooking and never transition into time to eat, you'll be missing the whole reason you were preparing to begin with. Jesus was presenting a new wineskin and everybody needed to get their wineskin ready for the transition to receive the new wine. If you didn't, you'd miss out entirely on the new thing the Lord is doing. That'd be a loss nobody should endure if they can help it. Furthermore, Jesus had such a heart for the religious leaders to make the transition, which is why he kept sharing meals with them even though they were trying to trap Him. What an amazing example for us to follow.

After covering John the Baptist, Pastor Josiah takes us into John the Beloved. He wasn't always perfect, but there was something about his zeal for the Lord that afforded him favor with Jesus. Jesus was cultivating something in John because of his bold yes to follow the Lord. Unlike John the Baptist, John the Beloved was able to make a transition from the ministry of preparation to intimacy. We explore benefits it brought to him as an individual and furthermore what the Lord did through him because of this powerful choice he made.

Mak shares her powerful testimony of how God had spared her life and thrust her into a passionate relationship with Himself. Lukewarm Christianity is not what God ordained. Passionate ALL IN Christianity is the only example Jesus modeled.

This tag team preaching dynamic message takes us into the personal testimony as of Britnee as well as the powerful story of the prodigal son. Personalized and applicable to all people this message reveals the heart of the Father powerfully. Then Pastor Michel takes us into the story of Absalom, David's boy and how it ties into the this testament iconic story.

God has been highlighting John chapter 10 to this house for some time. There's a deeper understanding to the revelation in this chapter that many are unaware of. Pastor Josiah takes us deeper into the meaning of the chapter and particularly what the Lord is saying through John 10:10 concerning healthy shepherds. Wherever God sends you, find healthy shepherds that carry these qualities. Don't just find people who lead churches, find healthy shepherds.

The story of Sodom and Gomorrah needs to be dissected to understand where the perversion lies so that its failure won't be repeated. We can learn a lot from this powerful story. Hospitality has a way of bringing forth blessing, just ensure that when you're blessed you don't lose your moral compass of family and see spiritual health, family and integrity go out the window. Take care of your own spiritual journey, protect your family — this will honor God.

How could a man be born blind as a consequence of his own sin? Jesus addresses a faulty thinking amongst the religious leaders and the culture. Have we done the same thing by adopting an unhealthy mindset? A blind man is healed and the religious leaders couldn't compute what happened. The truth is, by faith in obedience this man saw God before his eyes were ever opened! An unoffendable heart and a lifestyle of obedience will take you so far when it comes to seeing God.

Are you struggling to feel close to God?

Pastor Josiah breaks down the interesting passage where Jesus curses the fig tree and it dies, unable to bear fruit and its correlation to what was happening with the religious system being done away. Furthermore the powerful story of the woman healed of a terrible infirmity. If anything is above Him, it's an idol.

We're sensing the uniqueness of the hour that we're in as a church, city, state and nation. Something powerful is happening and people are coming from all over to invest into the soil of what's growing spiritually in San Diego. This is a special moment, can you see it? Pastor Josiah touches on the challenging and interesting portion of scripture dealing with the cursed fig tree and its relation to the time that the people were in in their moment with Jesus. If we miss the intimacy God is beckoning us into, we'll be ill prepared for what He's releasing in this season. Get ready — stay ready!

In the Kingdom, naked is being clothed! There's something about vulnerability with the Lord that has to do with putting on Christ. We've got so much available to us but it's up to us to actually clothe ourselves with what has been provided for us. Don't let what Christ has made available to us sit in the closet with the tags on. Make a conscience decision to put on Christ and change our mindsets. Elisha chose to pick up and utilize the mantle that Elijah left for him, it couldn't just sit on the ground. If it's available, that's one thing, but to actually utilize what He's given us by clothing ourselves with His promises and truths THAT IS TRULY POWERFUL!

One of the most nutrient packed chapters in the Bible is Exodus 33. Moses is engaging with Yahweh and he's crying out to God out of intimacy, to show him His glory. It's a beautiful prayer birthed in the nearness of their relationship which we can all learn so much from. This encounter changed Moses. Eventually his face would shine from these kinds of encounters. But today, we have the light of Christ, living within us! We have a never fading glory that far supersedes what Moses had. It's far more beautiful! We need that cry for Him to continually show us His glory and also to understand the glory that we are already walking in.

Jesus issues a powerful warning to His disciples about staying away from the leaven of the Pharisee's. This was during a time when mass ministry was taking place so much so that people were literally stepping on each other to try and get to Jesus. The table was set for authentic healthy ministry, not the phony stuff. What the misguided and stubborn Pharisee's were doing wasn't going to cut it and Jesus needed to make sure that all of His followers didn't let that leaven into their lives. We too must take this advice, heed the warning and believe the authentic to manifest in our lives. Pastor Josiah also shares a powerful prophetic dream related to John 10:10 which is a must hear!

In this message, Pastor Tim challenges us to stop being shocked by the world and start shocking the world with radical grace. Drawing from the life and teachings of Jesus, he unpacks how lowering our expectations, letting go of our need to be right, and responding with love instead of offense positions us to reflect Christ more powerfully than ever before.

In this sermon, “Here I Am: A Generational Response to God,” we unpack 1 Samuel 3:1-10 to reveal how God still calls people of every generation to hear His voice and step into His purpose. We see young Samuel's willing heart and Eli's seasoned guidance working together to create a powerful moment of divine encounter and transition. This message challenges both the young and seasoned to position themselves to say, “Here I am,” with faith, humility, and readiness. Discover how responding to God's call across generations can spark renewal, deepen intimacy with Him, and shape a lasting legacy of faith.
