When Saul first came to Jerusalem to meet with the Apostles, they initially didn't trust him because of his past history of persecuting the Church. Barnabas, whose name means “son of encouragement,” advocated for Saul to them. He championed Saul's calling as an Apostle to the Gentiles, and later sought Saul's help in the revival at Antioch.

God calls us out of our life of sin and into a life of discipleship to Jesus. The word “disciple” means to be a disciplined follower of Christ who lives like Christ lived and makes disciples as Christ commands. The faith journey of Saul/Paul in the book of Acts demonstrates the journey that all disciples of Christ experience in their growth in discipleship.

A strong beginning does not guarantee a faithful finish. Samson was physically strong but morally weak, and his unchecked desires led to his downfall. Though he was called and gifted by God, he failed to live up to that calling because his heart drifted from God. Samson's story reminds us that a person can be chosen, gifted, and even used by God, yet still live disconnected from Him. If we're not careful, we can fall into the same pattern in our walk today. His life is a warning to guard our hearts and remain close to God so that we can finish well.

The story of Gideon is a powerful reminder that God doesn't look for the strongest or the most qualified – He looks for the willing. Gideon's journey began with a private act of obedience: tearing down his family's altar to Baal. As he stepped out in faith, God empowered him to lead. This process includes stripping away his earthly security by thinning his army down from thousands to just 300 men. God often allows our resources, strength, or comfort to be diminished so that we have no choice but to rely entirely on Him. This reminds us that He alone gets the glory. However, Gideon's story also serves as a warning. Despite a miraculous victory, he ended his life by creating an ephod that became a new idol (distraction from God) for Israel. True victory isn't just about starting strong or defeating an immediate enemy – it's about continually trusting God in our weakness and guarding our hearts so we can finish well.

God empowers those who are willing to hear and obey His Word to accomplish great things. In Judges 4, He used unlikely people like Deborah, Barak, and Jael to bring victory to His people in a time of oppression. Deborah's courage came from trusting what God had said, and Barak experienced victory as he stepped out in obedience. As we listen to God, trust that He goes before us, and take the next step in faith, He can work powerfully through us too.

The cycle of life often follows this pattern: Sin in our lives leads to oppression, where we suffer the consequences of our sin. Oppressed people then cry out to God in repentance, and God graciously and faithfully brings deliverance, peace, and God's blessing once again. After deliverance, we all too often forget the Lord, and the cycle of sin tragically continues. This is the story of ancient Israel in the Bible. The book of Judges illustrates this cycle. After the Israelites were blessed with the Promised Land, they quickly forgot the Lord, sinned, and found themselves oppressed once again. In their despair, they cried out to God, and He sent Judges to deliver them.

We were made to live in intimate relationships with God and one another. Therefore, the ultimate source of relational unity comes through our relationship with Jesus Christ. When we walk closely with Christ, we can walk more closely with one another. Christ is also our example of living in relational unity through selfless living. The Apostle Paul described how this kind of unity is possible when we consider the example of Jesus Christ.Vien LauretaSunday, May 31 Live at 6:00 PMWebsite: http://pearlside.orgFacebook: http://facebook.com/pearlsidechurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/pearlside

The health of our relationships is deeply shaped by the words we speak. Our words have the power to either build or break the relationship. Our speech is more than what we say–it reveals what our hearts are full of. A change in words begins with a changed heart. As God's Word takes root in us and the Holy Spirit transforms us, He teaches us to speak in ways that bring life, healing, and encouragement.Chad UdaniSunday, May 24 Live at 7:00 PM

One of the greatest barriers to healthy relationships is unforgiveness. Forgiveness is often misunderstood as a feeling or a transaction based on someone else's apology. However, Jesus reveals to us that forgiveness is a response to the mercy we have already received from God. Forgiveness isimmediate and unconditional, even when the other person does not apologize or change. Because we have been forgiven an unpayable debt through the cross, we are called to release the debts others owe us. As we remember the mercy of Jesus, our hearts become capable of extending mercy to others. Jesus understood how difficult forgiveness can be, so He told a story about a king, a forgiven servant, and a fellow servant to reveal God's heart toward mercy.Russell TolentinoSunday, May 17 Live at 6:00 PM

God intended that our relationships would be a source of great joy and blessing. Unfortunately, because of sin, our relationships are often the source of our greatest pain. All of us have experienced wounds from relationships. In order to avoid being hurt again, we often hide our true selves and cope with our pain in unhealthy ways, which only deepens our wounds. If we don't let God heal us, we will continue to suffer and will unintentionally hurt others, perpetuating the cycle of pain. The famous story of Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well is a powerful example of this.Vien LauretaSunday, May 10 Live at 6:00PM

We were created for intimate relationships with God and one another. Yet, many of us struggle with closeness because of past wounds, sin, and disconnection from God. In John 15, Jesus shows that true intimacy begins with abiding in Him. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit unless it remains connected to the vine, we cannot produce healthy love apart from Christ. As we remain connected to Christ, He brings healing to our hearts and restores our ability to love others.Russell Tolentino Sunday, May 3 Live at 6:00 PM

After Jesus returns to defeat sin and Satan once and for all and establishes His earthly kingdom, there will be two judgments for humanity: one for those who rejected Christ as Lord, and one for the Church. The reality that all of us will stand before the judgment seat of Christ should cause us to humbly consider our lives on earth today and should cause us to share the Gospel with others with urgency.Russell TolentinoSunday, April 26 Live at 6:00 PM

Jesus does not want His people living fearful, confused, or easily shaken by what is happening in the world. As history moves closer to His return, the world will grow darker as difficulty and persecution increase for those who have faith in Christ. Even then, God is still in control, still working, and still drawing people to Himself. Our part is to stay grounded in Christ, grow in discipleship, and keep living on mission as we help people know Jesus.Vien LauretaSunday, April 19 Live at 6:00 PM

Easter is the celebration of Christ's sacrificial death on the cross in our place and for our sin, and His resurrection from the dead, where He broke the power of sin and death over all who believe in Him. Just as Jesus was raised from the dead, so shall all who put their ultimate trust in Him as Lord and Savior. The events surrounding Christ's sacrifice paint a vivid picture of what Jesus did for us and what His sacrifice accomplished.Russell TolentinoSunday, April 5 Live at 6:00 PM

Mission and ministry are central to the life of every believer. In John 4, Jesus helps His disciples see into the heart of God. While the disciples are focused on food and physical needs, Jesus directs their attention to the harvest before them. He teaches them that mission is a way of life that leads to joy when we are aligned with the Father's heart. God is already at work in the everyday moments around us, opening doors to love, serve, and share hope. Our role is to recognize where He is moving and join Him in His mission.Vien LauretaSunday, March 29 Live at 6:00 PM
