Join us as Pastor Anthony continues through the sermon series "Slow".
This week, Jesus says, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” In a world broken by sin and death, mourning is real. But Jesus does not leave His people with grief as the final word. He enters our brokenness, dies and rises, and promises the day when death will be swallowed up forever, every tear will be wiped away, and all things will be made new. Isaiah 25:6–9 Revelation 21:1–5 Matthew 5:1–4
Join us as Pastor Anthony begins the new sermon series "Slow", Where we learn to live the unhurried way of Jesus.
Most of us want the benefits of community — safety, belonging, mutual support — but bristle at the friction that actual community requires. This sermon confronts that tension directly: why do we wait until we're "rich enough" to give, and what does it really cost to be part of something? Pastor Anthony explores an ancient letter where a broke, disaster-stricken community begged to be allowed to give — and what that tells us about generosity as a practice rather than a personality trait. He also takes apart the prosperity gospel, not to dismiss the desire to flourish, but to ask what real prosperity looks like when it doesn't leave anyone on the curb. If you're skeptical of church messaging around money, or just tired of feeling like generosity is for people with more to spare, this conversation offers a different frame.

This week, we celebrated Vacation Bible School at Trinty. The kids spent the week hearing five big truths: God is our Creator. God knows everything. God is our safe place. God is love. God is forever. Those truths are not just for kids. God created us for life with Him and love for one another. Sin bends that love inward, but God shows His love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Jesus died for us. Jesus takes our death in our place and for our sake, and He gives us His life. Death was not the last word for Jesus, and because of Him, death is not the last word for us. God made you. God knows you. God loves you in Jesus. God gives you life now and forever. Wow, God. Genesis 1:1-5, 24-31 1 John 4:7-16 Luke 24:1-12

In this final week of our Living Hope series, Peter calls God's people to keep loving one another, show hospitality without grumbling, and use the gifts we have received as good stewards of God's varied grace. This is not one more burden to carry. It begins with what Jesus has already done for us. He has welcomed us, loved us, served us, and made room for us. Now we love, welcome, and serve with the strength God supplies, so that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus. Acts 1:12–26 1 Peter 4:7–11; 5:6–11 John 17:1–11
Faith & Feelings ft. Pastor Anthony Garza Pastor Anthony Garza Pastor Anthony Garza
In this week's Living Hope series, Peter reminds us that Jesus suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring us to God. Our troubles, fears, and frustrations are real, but they do not get the last word. When our eyes are fixed on Jesus, we begin to see our suffering, our Baptism, our forgiveness, and our hope through His death, resurrection, and reign. Acts 17:16–31 1 Peter 3:13–22 John 14:15–21
In this week's Living Hope series, Peter tells us to “long for the pure spiritual milk” so that by it we may grow up into salvation. This is not a message about becoming more saved or graduating from God's gifts. In Baptism, God gives life by His Spirit. Through His Word and Supper, He continues to feed and sustain that life. Whether we are newly baptized, newly confirmed, or have confessed the faith for decades, we never outgrow receiving from God. Acts 6:1–9; 7:2a, 51–60 1 Peter 2:2–10 John 14:1–14

You check your phone every 47 seconds. You say yes to everything and mean none of it. You refresh the news looking for a sign that something has finally gotten better. Somewhere in all of that, your actual life is happening — and nobody's really there for it. This week, Pastor Anthony looks at a moment where Jesus' closest friends ask exactly the wrong question, and what it reveals about where our attention goes when we're scared, overwhelmed, or just trying to manage the unmanageable. There's a distinction between what's yours to carry and what isn't — and learning the difference might be the most practical thing you do this week.
In this week's Living Hope series, Peter calls us to “be holy,” but what does this mean? For some, those words sound like a crushing burden. For others, they sound like a reminder of how stuck they are. For others, they sound like a word for somebody else. But because Jesus is risen, we hear these words through the Holy One who ransomed us with His precious blood, made us His own, and set us free to live as His holy people. Acts 2:14a, 36–41 1 Peter 1:13–25 Luke 24:13–35
"Holy Fences" - April 12, 2026 - Assistant Pastor Anthony Roberts
When things feel out of control, most of us do one of two things: we retreat to what's familiar, or we come out swinging. But what if both of those instincts are actually traps — and there's a harder, stranger option that history keeps proving actually works? In this sermon, Pastor Anthony traces a thread from an ancient prophet to a Berlin prayer service that helped bring down a wall, asking what it really looks like to resist something without becoming it. The answer involves a donkey, 70,000 candles, and the idea that showing up — openly, stubbornly, joyfully — is its own kind of power. If you're feeling stuck between fight and flight right now, this one's worth your time.
This Easter, we hear the good news that the tomb is empty and Christ is Risen. He is Risen Indeed! Alleluia!! But Easter is not only about what happened to Jesus back then. It's about what His resurrection means for you now, for your future, and for the good news you now have to share. Because Jesus is risen, that changes everything for you and for the whole world! Jeremiah 31:1–6 Colossians 3:1–4 Matthew 28:1–10
