What if your very purpose on earth is to be an "imager of God"—to create, to bless, and to bring order just as He did in the beginning? Pastor Dennis delves into Genesis chapter 1 to establish a biblical worldview, exploring how God's actions in creation define His character and our purpose. We are created as "imagers of God," designed to rule, create, bless, and bring order to the world, just as He did. Dennis challenges us to align our personal worldview with God's, reflecting His image through our actions and words.

Daily Bread Everyone has to eat. It's a fact of life. If we don't eat for long periods of time, or don't eat properly, it has significant impact on our health and well being. But as Jesus taught his disciples to pray for their "daily bread," he was showing them that it's much deeper than simply having bread to eat. This is a prayer of trust and dependence. This is a prayer asking the Lord to provide. Jesus was showing the disciples how to look to God first, and not their own wisdom, resources and abilities. Jesus reminded the disciples, and is reminding us today, that the Lord will provide - even if it's in unexpected ways. ginghamsburg.org  

Your Kingdom Come When Jesus prayed 'your Kingdom come,' he was showing that God's kingdom was a much different one than the kingdom of humanity. The kingdom of God is one of love, servanthood, and humility. Jesus not only taught his disciples, and us, to pray for God's kingdom to come. He also showed us how to live with our hearts and lives focused on making God's kingdom a reality in our communities. As we learn to pray for God's kingdom to come in our lives, we'll find we're aligning with the heart of God. This changes us and will change the world around us. ginghamsburg.org

To the One Above To many, God can feel impersonal and distant. But in reality, God is the exact opposite. God is deeply personal and as close as we will allow God to become in our lives. God wants to be in a relationships with us, the way a parent is deeply connected with their children. Jesus teaches the disciples, and us, that prayer is a deeply personal conversation. We can approach the creator of the universe as easily as we can approach our parents. We're not praying to some distant overseer who doesn't care about our lives. Instead, we are praying to someone who wants to know us and love us. ginghamsburg.org

In this message from our Beyond Me series, we look at 2 Corinthians 9 and discover the balance between seed and bread. God gives us seed to sow and bread to eat—wisdom is knowing the difference, and faith is doing the right thing with both. Tithing protects what we have, seed multiplies what we give, and bread provides for our needs. The call is simple: don't eat all your seed and don't hoard all your bread. Live wisely, give faithfully, and let your generosity leave an eternal impact.Did you receive Jesus today?

Abigail Everyone loves the fairytale, where the beautiful girl shows kindness, love and grace to the coldhearted beast of a man and by the end he changes, they fall in love, and live happily ever after. Sounds perfect, right? But life isn't like a fairytale. How do you find joy when your relationship is cold and difficult? How do you live with peace when there's constant turmoil? The answer is by keeping our attention fixed on the Lord. As we look at the story of Abigail, we'll see how her heart, wisdom, and quick action changed the lives of many people around her. ginghamsburg.org/planyourvisit

Samuel Have you ever heard your name called in a crowded place? Sometimes it's someone you know, or your kids are looking for you. But other times, you turn to look and it's a complete stranger, calling for someone else - who just happens to share your name. Hearing your name called can be sign of affection or praise. Other times it can lead to uncertainty, embarrassment, or even fear. This week's campfire story takes us to the story of a boy named Samuel. He heard his name called multiple times but wasn't sure who it was. As we'll hear, when we listen and respond when we're called by God, it can change our lives forever. ginghamsburg.org/planyourvisit

Ahab Life is filled with strategy. Sometimes it's as simple as knowing what move to make while playing a game with your children. Other times strategy requires complicated moves to achieve its end goal. This week we'll look at the story of King Ahab - one of the kings in the nation of Israel's history. Under Ahab's reign, Israel experienced a time of prosperity, but that allowed them lose their edge and in the end it cost them dearly. It's easy for us to walk in a similar fashion. We lose our edge, and slowly the enemy gains a foothold which costs us dearly. This week, we're reminded from Ahab's story that we have the power to push back against the enemy and find true freedom and life when we surrender. ginghamsburg.org/planyourvisit

Pastor Dennis challenges us to lead in a way that outlasts applause—by making things better than we found them and building a legacy our families will feel for generations. This message is a bold reminder that true leadership starts with service, not a title.

What do worship, trust, generosity, and repentance have in common? They all flow from the heart. It's the source of our motives, our choices, our lives. In this message, Pastor Dennis teaches us how to guard the most important part of who we are—and keep our hearts aligned with God. Tune into find the key to staying connected to the true source of everything we need.

Jacob There's something divine that happens when you're under the stars at night by a warm fire. The dancing glow and gentle noises of a summer night invites you into nature's intimacy. Twilight conversations hold no agenda, leaving us open to ancient threads of truth and wonder. These fireside chats hold timeless truths passed down from the beginning of time. The Old Testament is full of rich stories which show us who God has always been. These stories also reveal who God is calling to be in this moment. This week we learn about Jacob - a man who was always jockeying for a way to get ahead, even if it meant manipulating and cheating those closest to him. But as he grew older, he had an encounter with the Lord that changed him and the world forever. Sometimes we grow tired and need a fresh encounter with the Lord. When we experience the Lord in this same way we can experience a new sense of hope, meaning, purpose and calling. ginghamsburg.org/planyourvisit

You don't need a title to lead—just the courage to obey. In this powerful message, Pastor Dennis launches his brand-new book “Leading Without Permission” and delivers a challenge to lead from wherever you are, no permission slip required. 

Taking The Heat People around the world face persecution every day because of their faith, race, gender, economic standing, and even birthplace. We know in the deepest parts of our being that persecuting others is wrong. But what do we do when we face persecution? Jesus addressed this very idea in his message from the mountain. He said "you will be happy even when you face insults, persecution and lies." Wait, Jesus said we will be happy when we face those things? Yes, because these things are not the end of the story. Jesus' words carry a promise that we can be glad in the face of trials and persecution, because our hope and our treasure is not based in this world. When we stand firm in Jesus we'll be like the heroes of faith who have gone before us. ginghamsburg.org/planyourvisit

Are you chasing purpose—or chasing applause? In this episode, we unpack what it really means to be driven by ambition vs directed by God's vision. Through the cautionary story of Absalom and the faithful example of David, we explore how ambition often starts in pain and ends in pride. You'll learn:How selfish ambition masks itself as visionWhy obedience is greater than opticsHow to discern God's whisper over culture's shoutWhether you're a young leader, creative, pastor, or student—this episode speaks to the tension of leading in a noisy world.

The modern church is in crisis—and no one wants to talk about it. In this episode, we expose how progressive Christianity and LGBTQ ideology have quietly taken over pulpits, redefining truth and leaving a trail of broken families in the name of love and tolerance. If you're Gen Z and you've ever felt like something's off with how culture and faith collide—you're not crazy. You're being called to stand. 

Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. When everything in our lives feels shaky, let us remember that we worship an unchanging and unshakeable God.

Pastor Dennis Gaxiola takes us into 1 Peter 3:15, and discusses the relational Father, God is to us in "Adam Where are You?"

How can we intentionally impress God's truth on someone this week?

Being Pure In Heart The Bible says that we need to guard our hearts. They are the source of everything in our lives - both good and bad. This is why Jesus spoke the words that the pure in heart will see God. But there's a difference between living a pure life, meaning we follow the rules and try to do no wrong, and living with a pure heart. A pure heart means we live intentionally, sincerity and integrity. This Father's Day, we'll see that when we live this way we not only see God, but we also share the hope and life which comes from Christ to everyone around us. ginghamsburg.org/planyourvisit

The Holy Spirit is the Fuel of the Great Commission- Pastor Dennis Leon (6.8.25) by Sermons

Hope in God doesn't mean life gets easier. It means we get carried even when things are falling apart. We hope in the Lord.

Let Jesus' way of thinking be our way of living.
