Listen in as our Pastors, Craig and Anne-Marie Matos, talk about the future of this movement. *Apologies for the audio quality

Throughout our walk with Jesus, there are times we can forget what Christianity truly is about. One of the main things Jesus emphasized before He ascended to Heaven was for us to make disciples. No matter where we are or who we are, we must always remember one of our main goals is to make disciples who make disciples. - Matthew Santa Ana

Part 2 of a special double-feature Sunday: If we aren’t careful we can let not-yet-realized prayers and promises distort who we believe God is to us. When we have a clear understanding who God really is, when we see Him for the Father, the protector and the provider He is, our lives and the lives around us become so much brighter, they become lives of worship and relationship with God. - Ken Weaver, Worship Pastor House SF

Part 1 of a special double-feature Sunday: The story of Joseph has various valleys and mountaintops. Joseph went from a favored son, to a slave, to a prisoner, to one of the highest authority figures in Egypt. Through every stage of Joseph’s life, God allowed him to prosper because God's presence never left him and His favor was always for him. As children of God, that same presence and favor is with us today, despite whatever season we find ourselves in. - Isaiah Brown

The spirit realm is very real and we experience its influence in our daily lives. This week we explore how to posture our hearts aptly to follow the Holy Spirit and rise above the clutter of everything else in order to give in to the one thing that matters most, the blood of Jesus and His perfect redemption. - Mike Maeshiro

God designed us to be creators. How do we find the "inner artist" that God has put in us and to fight off the inner monsters that hinder that creation? This week we discuss what it means to create the right future that God has called us to create. - Pastor Josh White, author of "Makers and Monsters"

Corina Santa Ana from Home Church in Cordelia brings us a word about making room in your life for God to do the unimaginable.

What can we possibly learn from the wisemen that brought Jesus gifts 2000 years ago? Join us as we look at their journey in the gospel of Matthew to help shift our focus this Christmas season. - Pastor Craig Matos

Christmastime ends up being one of the busiest times of the year. With everything that is going on, it's far too easy to lose sight of why we celebrate Christmas. Listen in as we take the journey of remembering the miracle of Christmas; a miracle that is for each one of us. - Pastor Craig Matos

As we enter the Christmas season we can’t help but focus on the story of Jesus' birth. Mary and Joseph were a young couple who had great plans for their lives together...that is until Mary had an encounter with an angel. Mary and Joseph’s plans took a drastic change, which impacted the direction their lives were headed. Have you experienced something similar? Where you had your life, or certain areas of your life planned out, but those plans started to change shape. Rest assured, God still has a purpose, even if your plans are not taking shape. - Pastor Craig Matos

I love Thanksgiving! It is such a sweet holiday where we get to come together as a family, share a tasty meal, and most importantly reflect on all that we have to be thankful for. But, what if Thanksgiving wasn't just a once a year kind of thing? What if it was instead a lifestyle we chose to live out every day of the week. Tune in as we unpack what Thanksgiving means to us as Christians and how we can adopt this way of life in every season. - Pastor Anne-Marie Matos Bonus content: A special announcement from the Matos's

Is God calling you to say “yes” to something today? There are moments in our lives that our “yes” to God comes with a clear next step to take; however, most of the time our “yes” seems like it will lead us into obscurity. Listen in as we discuss how a food distributor intersects with a treasurer from another land during their respective travels - in Acts 8 - and how God uses this moment to rewrite their stories. - Pastor Craig Matos

Be, Grow, Thrive: Grow by House SF

As we continue our series called Be, Grow, Thrive this week, we focus in on what it means for us to “Be”. On his way to Galilee from Judea, Jesus makes an usual stop in his journey. On the surface of it all, it seems spontaneous, a bit random, maybe even controversial. But this moment in time was anything but that. At the well, Jesus not only had a message for this Samaritan woman, but he had a message for us all. - Pastor Craig Matos

As the year rounds out, we focus in on three words: Be, Grow, Thrive. We are all created to belong and be a part of something significant, but where are we turning when we want to learn out about this purpose and belonging? Join us as we begin the journey to Be, Grow, and Thrive. - Pastor Craig Matos

"Fan into a flame and rekindle the fire of the spiritual gift God imparted to you..."(2 Timothy 1:6), some of the final words written by the Apostle Paul as he encourages a young leader, Timothy. Paul uses these words to challenge Timothy to stay on fire for God by boldly using the gifts God has given him. I believe this encouragement and challenge is so relevant for all of us today! What are we doing with the fire inside of all of us? Are we growing that fire into an uncontainable flame? How do we even go about growing that fire? Well, you can start first by tuning in! - Pastor Anne-Marie Matos

Jesus said in Matthew 12 “...for a tree is recognized by its fruit.” Our lives can produce fruit based on what our focus and motivation is in life. What type of fruit are you producing today? Is it fruit that gives honor to God and points people to him? Whether it is or not, we actually still have a choice about what type of fruit we want our lives and legacies to produce. Listen in and be encouraged about how your life can reflect Jesus with the Fruit of the Spirit. - Pastor Craig Matos

God has gifted us with his Holy Spirit as well as spiritual gifts to use, but now what? The result is that we are all left with a choice of how to respond. Will we simply acquire and accumulate these gifts or will we decide to take action? Be encouraged today to step out into a life that can be an adventure with God. - Pastor Craig Matos

Out of all of the spiritual gifts that Paul mentions in scripture, why is it that he heavily encourages prophecy? How can that gift work now and who is it for? There had to be something quite significant about it for Paul to single it out multiple times in his writings. Listen in and be inspired by what this gift can do in your life today. - Pastor Craig Matos

Spiritual gifts are a grey area for so many people and for countless others they are simply a mystery. What exactly is the obstacle we face in identifying and using them? The answer may be a bit closer to you than you even realize. - Pastor Craig Matos

Spiritual gifts have long been a topic of the Bible that many people either do not know much about or they believe are reserved for the spiritual elite, and avoid them altogether. In the New Testament, however, Paul refers to spiritual gifts as gifts of grace. If that is the case, what exactly does that mean for you and me today? - Pastor Craig Matos

Heaven has a gift for you that no box can contain; however, this gift happens to be a person, he is the Holy Spirit. Listen in as we continue to unpack the history and the mystery that is The Gift of Heaven for you. - Pastor Craig Matos

Before Jesus ascended into Heaven he promised a very important gift. A gift that would enable us to live life to the fullest. The gift of the Holy Spirit. Is that gift still available to us today? If so, how do we receive it? And who is the Holy Spirit, anyway? Where can we see Him working throughout the Bible, and is He still at work in our own lives, today? Listen in as we unpack all of that and more. - Pastor Anne-Marie Matos

Everyone has to wait at some point in their lives. Nobody really enjoys it now, do they? Whether you are in a period of waiting right now or not, how exactly will you navigate through it when it arrives? Pastor Craig shares about the relation between timing and waiting and what we can do today to strengthen ourselves in those moments of waiting with God. - Pastor Craig Matos

Do you ever feel tired or weary? Are the 24 hours available in a day not enough to accomplish all that you need to? Or, is it that your schedule can be so erratic at times that you are doing all you can to just keep going? Jesus is extending an offer to you today: come to him and learn the unforced rhythms of grace. - Pastor Craig Matos

Guest speaker Mike Cruz, Pastor at The Stirring Church in Redding, California, continues with the theme of Behind the Scenes (BTS) and focuses in on the last supper with Jesus and his disciples. Listen in as we uncover layers and angles to this story that you may have never considered and how this scene at the table carries a message for us all. - Pastor Mike Cruz

Life can feel like a struggle at times, especially when there are moments that seem like you are going at it alone. Often, we write these moments off as a “wilderness" or "desert season” and simply brace ourselves to weather the storm and just make it through. What if there was more to these moments than just enduring a difficult time though? In Genesis 32 we see the story of how one of Jacob’s victorious life moments came from the ashes of one of his greatest defeats. Listen in and be encouraged today as we walk through Jacob’s life and how a wrestling match with God completely impacted the trajectory of his life. - Pastor Craig Matos

God has a habit of partnering with strong women all throughout the Bible to outwork his plan and purpose. Amazing women are rich in our history, and there is so much we can glean from their stories. Tune in as we zoom in on two stories in particular, and pull out some takeaways that we can implement today in our own lives. - Pastor Anne-Marie Matos.

For the first week of our new sermon series entitled Behind the Scenes (BTS), we begin our journey by focusing in on what our faith looks like behind closed doors. Have you ever considered that the decisions you make behind the scenes are the very foundation your life and legacy are built upon? - Pastor Craig Matos

You have a mission (a purpose) for your life! Your life is a journey that only you can walk out! So how do you do it? How do you stay the course and live your life to its fullest potential? Tune in as Anne-Marie takes a note out of the book of Joshua to teach us how to do just that. - Pastor Anne-Marie Matos

A group of friends, a crowd from all over the region of Galilee, a rooftop, and Jesus. How are they all related? Luke shares in his gospel an inspiring account of how a rooftop provided a means for a man to come face to face with Jesus and for his eternity to be redeemed. We invite you to listen and be inspired and challenged to step into all that God has for you. - Pastor Craig Matos

One of the most beautiful love stories in the Bible can be found in possibly the least likely of places. Confusion, joy, loss, and passion are just a few of the attributes within the Old Testament story of Hosea. Join us as we discover the deeper meaning of the roller coaster of emotions that are contained within this book and what they mean to you and me today.

Get ready for some #realtalk as Anne-Marie opens up and shares about her journey with Love. - Pastor Anne-Marie Matos

Palm Sunday has been recognized and celebrated for countless generations. What was the significance of this ancient holiday that made it so important for people to observe, and what relevance does it have for us in 2018? - Pastor Craig Matos

Do you see yourself the same way God does? In the book of Judges, there is a story of a man named Gideon who was convinced that God had it all wrong with how He saw him. What Gideon did not realize is that when God spoke to him, he was not referring to who Gideon was in that very moment, but according to who he would become in the future. In the same, God calls us by name and sees us not only as his child, but the person who he has created us to be regardless of how we may feel. - Pastor Craig Matos

Daniel and the Lion’s Den is one of the most popular stories of the Bible that involves jealousy, tragedy, faith, and a great God. With as many times as this story has been referenced over the generations, could it be that we have possibly overlooked some of the greatest lessons we could learn from the Lion’s Den? - Pastor Craig Matos

Three men were tested on their faith, but they stood up for what they believed and they saw God move. But what if there was more going on? What if your faith was not just so you could see God move, but so others could be influenced forever? Listen in on an inspiring story in the book of Daniel about walking into a fire so that you can light up those around you. - Joseph Ilustrisimo

Resolving to not compromise with the small things empowers us to not waiver in the face of greater challenges. To resolve is to come to a firm decision or commit to something whole heartily. Considering its meaning; what do you need to resolve today? In the book of Daniel, scripture tells us that Daniel resolved to not eat from the King of Babylon's table. The decision that Daniel made in that very moment was much more than a preference of what he was going to eat or not, it was stance on how we was going to live his life from that point forward. - Pastor Craig Matos

Life can be tough sometimes, but it’s so important that we don’t give up. The truth of the matter is that each and every one of us has such a special plan and purpose for our lives. But how do we walk that out? How do we ‘go the distance’ and not grow weary? How do we ensure to live life to our fullest potential and capabilities? Well the good news is we’ve been given exactly what we need for the journey ahead. Listen in as we teach on what God has promised you. - Pastor Anne-Marie Matos

When Jesus asked his disciples to go with him to the other side while standing on the western shores of the Sea of Galilee, he knew the weight of what he was asking was far greater than just a boat ride across the water. What did "the other side” mean to the disciples in this moment? Little did they realize the impact this journey would have attached to it not only to themselves but to others. Often times when we follow Jesus he will ask us to take a similar step as he did to the disciples that day at the Sea of Galilee; to the other side. Join us as we take a closer look at what this journey meant to the disciples back then and what it can mean to all of us today. - Pastor Craig Matos

You may know God as a promise maker, but do you personally know him as the Promise Keeper? There are days and even seasons of life that can look like they will never get any better; this was the case for the people of Judah as they finally made an effort to rebuild their place of worship. Closing out the book of Haggai, we look at the struggle they experienced even after deciding to rebuild the temple. Was it always going to be this way or was change on the horizon? - Pastor Craig Matos

It’s a new year and a time for a fresh start. Have you ever gone into a year so motivated for change and results only to be let down by the lack of progress you are seeing? What do we do when that happens? Do we compare ourselves to the new year progress of others around us? Don’t let yourself be discouraged! God wants to be your strength and build an amazing 2018 with you! - Pastor Craig Matos
