Testimony Time! Today I'm sharing a recent healing that happened in my body. I had a headache for 4 days and also a very sore neck. I asked God in faith for wisdom of what I was doing wrong, what was preventing me from receiving the healing He had already purchased and provided for me through Jesus on the cross. God led me to a life changing YouTube video by Andrew Wommack that changed everything for me.I share today:1. How to get wisdom from God2. The incorrect way to think about having faith to receive healing from God3.

Is God really near, or does He just feel far away?In the final message of the God Revealed series, John Gunter addresses a struggle many believers quietly carry. We know God is real. We know He is powerful. Yet there are seasons when He feels distant.Drawing from Acts 17, this sermon examines Paul's message to the Athenians and their altar to an unknown god. Paul reveals a God who cannot be contained by temples, controlled by human systems, or kept at a distance. He is the God who gives life, breath, and everything else. He is the God in whom we live and move and have our being.This message reminds us that God's nearness is not dependent on our feelings. He is present in worship, present in suffering, present in ordinary days, and present in every season of life. The question is not whether God is near. The question is whether we are drawing near to Him.Key Themes: God cannot be confined to the boxes we create God is present in every part of life, not just spiritual moments We often treat God as distant when Scripture says He is near God's nearness is an invitation to relationship Drawing near to God changes how we live every day

Send us Fan MailRomans 1:16-17 isn't a warm-up verse for us, it's the doorway into everything Paul is about to build. We slow down and ask the question underneath the question: how is anyone made right with God? The answer is both shocking and relieving. Justification is a legal declaration from God that we are righteous in Christ, and that verdict is received by faith, not earned by effort, discipline, or religious “bartering.” We talk plainly about why deeds can't produce righteousness, why adding anything to salvation turns grace into a wage, and why the gospel stays simple even when we try to complicate it. We also clear up a common confusion: justification and sanctification are not the same thing. Justification is God's once-for-all act that makes us right with him, while sanctification is God's ongoing work in us that produces real change and real fruit. Mixing those two either makes people proud or makes them panic, and neither one is the good news. We also address the reality that believers still wrestle with sin in this life, which is exactly why Scripture speaks of dying daily. Our assurance doesn't come from pretending we're perfect, it comes from trusting the righteousness God has provided in Jesus Christ. Along the way we connect Romans 1 to Romans 9, talk about Christ as the stumbling stone, and keep circling back to the heartbeat line: the just shall live by faith.

Send us Fan MailRomans 1:16-17 is one of the clearest summaries of Christianity's core claim, and we take it slow on purpose. The gospel isn't a motivational message or a list of religious steps. We argue from Paul's words that it is the power of God unto salvation precisely because something is unveiled inside it: the righteousness of God. We talk about what “not ashamed of the gospel” looks like in real life, then move into the heart of the passage. “The righteousness of God” isn't human morality upgraded or spiritual effort polished up. It is a righteousness that originates with God, is established by God, and is granted to sinners who believe. That pushes back on every form of self-righteousness, whether it shows up as moral improvement, religious ceremony, baptismal confidence, or the quiet belief that our obedience completes what Jesus started. Along the way we connect the dots to big theological themes listeners search for all the time: justification by faith, salvation by grace, Christ alone, assurance, and why human works cannot satisfy divine justice. We also focus on the word “revealed” and why saving righteousness is not discovered by philosophy or speculation, but disclosed by God in the gospel.

Send us Fan MailIf you've ever explained your salvation with a sentence that starts with “I,” this conversation will challenge you in the best way. We dig into a deceptively simple question: does God save because of what we do, or because of what Christ has already done? Using Abraham as our starting point, we talk about imputed righteousness, how God declares the righteous, and why covenant signs never deserve the credit that belongs to Jesus alone. We also tackle water baptism head-on. We affirm baptism as meaningful obedience and a public marker of allegiance to Christ, then draw a bright line between a sign and a Savior. One of the sharpest moments comes as we ask: if water baptism saves, how do you crucify water on a cross, bury it, and watch it rise three days later? That isn't a cheap slogan, it's a reality check that brings us back to the center of the gospel: Jesus shed His blood, Jesus died, and Jesus rose in victory over sin and death. From there we camp out in Romans 1:16-17 and the phrase “from faith to faith,” unpacking why the gospel never transitions into “from faith to works” as the basis of justification. We talk about regeneration, the gift of faith, and how faith excludes boasting because it receives rather than achieves. We even pause to speak tenderly to real struggles like anger and unforgiveness, reminding each other that grace is not theoretical, it's where Christians actually live.

Send us Fan MailThe hardest part of grace is not understanding it. It's accepting that we don't get to help. We sit with Romans 1:17 and the line that wrecks human pride: God reveals his righteousness “from faith to faith,” and he justifies the ungodly. That means salvation is not God meeting us halfway after we've become respectable. It's God doing what we cannot do, start to finish, without owing us anything.We talk plainly about the instinct inside all of us to minimize sin or to try to overcome it with personal merit. Then we name the common “add-ons” people attach to the gospel of Christ: circumcision, water baptism, the Mass, appeals to Mary or the saints, and any system that turns faith into a checklist. The moment you add a requirement to the finished work of Jesus, the message stops being the gospel that saves, because it shifts glory away from Christ and back onto us.Along the way, our panel connects Paul's argument to Habakkuk 2:4, explains why true faith is a supernatural revelation by the Holy Spirit, and clarifies what baptism is for and what it is not. We use the thief on the cross and Abraham's circumcision as practical anchors: signs and obedience matter, but they follow salvation rather than create it.If this helped you think more clearly about justification by faith, grace alone, and the righteousness of God, subscribe, share this with a friend who's sorting through “faith plus something,” and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!
God's delay is not weakness. It is mercy.In this message, John Gunter continues the God Revealed series by focusing on the patience of God. Many people ask why evil continues, why sin seems unchecked, or why judgment has not yet come. Scripture gives a surprising answer. God is patient.Through 2 Peter chapter 3, this sermon explains that God's patience is intentional. He is not ignoring sin, nor is He slow to act. Instead, He is giving people time to repent and return to Him. The delay of consequences is not proof that everything is okay. It is evidence of God's mercy and kindness.This message also warns about the danger of presuming on God's patience. We often convince ourselves there will always be more time. Yet Scripture reminds us that life moves quickly, judgment is real, and God's patience is meant to lead us toward transformation now, not later.Key Themes: God's patience flows from His desire for repentance Delayed judgment does not mean sin is ignored Mercy removes judgment while patience delays it Assuming we always have more time is spiritually dangerous God's kindness is meant to draw us back to Him
It is easy to look at the sins of Romans 1 and think that we are better because we acknowledge that sin is bad, but the truth is that we do not live up to our own standards of morality. Both the law-oriented Jew and the moralist gentile are found in wanting compared to the righteousness of God. We need a perfect Savior!
God does not change, even when everything else does.In this message, John Gunter continues the God Revealed series by focusing on the faithfulness of God. Through Lamentations chapter 3, we are reminded that faith is not built on circumstances. It is built on who God is.Even in moments of deep pain, loss, and uncertainty, the writer chooses to remember. God's love never ceases. His mercies are new every morning. His faithfulness remains steady.This sermon challenges us to shift from reacting to our situation to remembering God's character. While people fail and plans fall apart, God does not lie, does not change, and does not abandon His people. Even when we are weak or inconsistent, He remains faithful.Key Themes: Faith is choosing to remember who God is God's faithfulness is not based on our circumstances We often project our inconsistency onto God God remains faithful even when we struggle Trusting God brings stability in unstable seasons
Paul's Epistle to the Romans is a profound work of systematic theology designed to explain how the gospel brings glory to God by revealing His righteousness. Pastor Daniel walks us through Romans 1 which explains how a people who suppress the truth of God heap up sin. Increase in homosexuality, murder, hatred of God, and all kinds of sin increase as unrighteousness people worship the creation rather than the Creator.
God does not give us what we deserve. He gives us mercy.In this message, John Gunter continues the God Revealed series by exploring the mercy of God. While we often think in terms of fairness and what we deserve, Scripture reveals something greater. God is merciful, gracious, slow to anger, and full of steadfast love.Through passages like Exodus 34 and the story of the prodigal son, we see a God who does not wait for perfection. He runs toward those who turn back to Him. He restores what was broken and offers forgiveness that is not earned.This sermon also reminds us that God's mercy is not a one time act. His mercies are new every morning. Because of Jesus, we can approach God with confidence, knowing He understands our struggles and meets us with grace.Key Themes: God's mercy flows from His character, not our performance We often want justice for others and mercy for ourselves The prodigal son reveals the heart of God toward sinners Mercy is renewed daily, not limited by our failures True response to mercy is a transformed life
You and I aren't neutral towards God …We are either worshipping Him or rebelling against Him. That's the honest truth that Paul preaches to those in Athens in Acts 17:16–34. Athens, as we know, was as the intellectual capital of the world… thinkers, philosophers, culture-shapers everywhere. And when Paul arrived into this city, he:1) studies the culture.2) understands the people.3) And then drops truth right in the middle of it.Preaching:

We all want justice. Until it applies to us.In this message, John Gunter continues the God Revealed series by exploring what it means for God to be just. Scripture makes it clear that all have sinned and fall short of God's glory. That reality creates a tension. If God is truly just, sin must be addressed. It cannot be ignored or minimized.This sermon walks through Romans chapter 3 to show how God resolves that tension. Through Jesus, God remains just while also justifying those who place their faith in Him. The cross is not a dismissal of sin. It is the full payment for it.This message calls us to move beyond comparison and excuses. Instead of measuring ourselves against others, we are invited to trust in God's grace, take sin seriously, and live transformed lives grounded in faith.Key Themes: All people share the same condition of sin God's justice requires that sin be dealt with Grace is a gift, not something we earn Faith is trust that leads to transformation The cross is where justice and mercy meet
Everything changes when you see God for who He truly is.In this first sermon of the God Revealed series, John Gunter walks through Isaiah chapter 6 and the overwhelming vision of God's holiness. Surrounded by worship and glory, Isaiah is confronted with a reality that reshapes everything. God is not a better version of us. He is completely set apart.This message highlights how easy it is to reshape God into something more comfortable or manageable. Yet when we truly see His holiness, comparison disappears and clarity takes its place. We begin to understand our own need for grace.The good news is that God does not reveal sin to destroy us. He reveals it so He can cleanse us. As Isaiah confesses his unworthiness, God responds with forgiveness and restoration. That same invitation stands today.Key Themes: God is completely holy and set apart Seeing God clearly changes how we see ourselves Sin cannot be minimized in the presence of holiness God provides cleansing where there is confession True understanding of God leads to a transformed life
Pastor Sam Rainer preaches a series about God's names in the Bible. God has many names that reveal His various characteristics. To take His name in vain is to drag that holy name into something empty or false. This sermon unpacks the meaning of Elohim, the Creator God.

In this message from the Between the Lines series, Pastor Trey Hildebrant teaches on the question What does it mean that Jesus is the Son of God and why does this matter to us? Drawing from Hebrews 1 and 2, we see that Jesus is not only a teacher or a miracle worker but the full and exact expression of who God is. He shows us God's character, His heart, and His desire to be known. Pastor Trey explains why understanding Jesus as the Son of God shapes our view of God, strengthens our confidence in Him, and gives us a secure foundation for life. This message invites us to see Jesus more clearly, trust Him more fully, and discover why His identity changes everything for us today. (03/15/2026)

Will we ever fully know and understand God? And if we could … would that even be God? In this final episode of our Unexpected Divine conversations, Revs. Brittany and Hannah explore John 1:18: “No one has ever seen God. It is God, the only Son, who is close to the Father’s heart, who has made him known.” Through their conversation, the female pastors of First United Methodist Church of San Diego use poetic theology, humor, and real-life reflection to wrestle with: What it means that Jesus “exegetes” (reveals) the heart of God Why mystery is not a weakness of faith, but its depth How Jesus reshapes our understanding of transcendence Why not knowing everything about God doesn’t excuse us from justice Whether Christocentrism is compatible with Jesus’ own ministry How diversity in religions may reflect the vastness of the Divine From TikTok analogies to the Grand Canyon, from Mary & Martha to Sankofa, this conversation invites us into a faith that is expansive, relational, and beautifully unfinished. Reflection Questions: What does Jesus show us about God? Which ideas about God have shaped my faith, and which no longer help me grow? What does it mean that God is not “seen” but is still “made known”?

We can learn a lot about the nature of God from his Divine Name revealed in Scripture. When God said to Moses, “I am who I am,” this was a revelation of a name as well as a refusal of a name. Fr. Mike explains how this mystery reveals truths about God: he is infinitely above all things; we cannot comprehend him, yet he draws close to us. This Divine Name expresses the steadfast, faithful, unchanging love of God for his people, even when we betray and abandon him. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 205-211.
