In this week of 'The Spirit-Filled Church' series, we explore the beauty and urgency of a generational church—where children are at the center of God's kingdom, and every generation wins when the next generation encounters Him!

Serving. It can be an intimidating word, we serve our country, we serve our workplaces, we serve our spouses. But in all these things do we serve how God wants us to serve? Come listen to Pastor Chase, Pastor Joel and a very special guest discuss how Christ served, and how we all can serve like He did.
One way to understand God's plan of salvation for His people is to look at the Old Testament Leaders God appointed. 1) prophets- spokesmen who guided the people 2) priests- ministers who healed the people 3) kings- rulers who protected the people. Each had a role to fulfill if Israel was to thrive. The New Testament reveals Jesus is the Final Prophet, the Perfect Priest, and Consummate King. To be healthy, a Church must recognize and honor Christ in all His Offices. In this sermon, Pastor Joel explains the role of Jesus as our Final Prophet.

Let us know if this message impacted you!Worship isn't about “having it our way,” it's about giving God what He wants. As we continue our exploration of "The Spirit-Filled Church," we examine how a spirit-filled church finds true freedom when it shifts from self-obsession to God-obsession, just as Paul and Silas did, worshiping even in chains. When we give God our sacrifice of praise, His Spirit shows up, prisoners are listening, and freedom is released into our lives. Support the show

The 1981 Walt Disney classic “The Fox and the Hound” taught me what friendship really was. Friendship, as portrayed in the film, was about loyalty to another, even if it means you have to fight a bear to save your friend or stand in the line of fire to protect them from a hunter. “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends” - John 15:13 We know this intuitively, for it's the very reason that “The Fox and the Hound” resonates with our hearts and is such a moving tale to this day. Join us Sunday to find out what being a friend of Christ means, and how God might be inviting us to deeper obedience in loving one another. See you then, Pastor Joel

We find an answer to the question, “What difference does all this make?” We'll also look at how does this affect our relationship with each other in the body of Christ and our relationshp with wider society?

Peter starts his letter to the scattered exiles in ancient Turkey by giving a dependable identity. Identity helps people in the midst of their uncertainty and hopelessness. In the next part of the letter, Peter expands on their identity, telling them that they are holy, and out of their holy identity they are to live holy. Holy living honors Jesus, but it is dependable, too, able to see us through the trials and uncertainties of life. In this message, Pastor Joel unpacks Peter's description of holy, dependable living and gives the perfect example of someone living it out smack dab in the middle of suffering and uncertainty: Jesus himself.

The world we live in is full of uncertainty, whether in current events casting a shadow over our politics, the people in our lives who let us down, and more. For some, the hopelessness leads them to just focus on the present and try to have some fun to help them forget how hard it is. But simply numbing the pain is not the way of Jesus. In this series, we're going to study a letter written to a group of people living through uncertain times by the apostle Peter about where we can find hope and reliability in uncertain times. In this first message of the series, Pastor Joel explains how Peter unpacks our identity and inheritance as reasons to find calm in the chaos.

The letter of Romans strengthened the ancient church, brought reformation to the dark ages, has brought hope for 2000 years, and can change your life!This week Pastor Joel continues Part 2 of his message series in Romans, “Bold Faith That Wins”. Today we look at “Self-Examination.” We are most vulnerable when we are complacent. Too often we get hung up on prophecy instead of life change. And as we examine ourselves in this passage of scripture we should ask ourselves: 1) Have I received Grace? Am I faithful? Am I relying on myself? And where is my trust?

When people talk about TV shows that have well regarded and satisfying endings, they often cite things like finishing off character arcs well, linking up to themes introduced throughout the series, and ending one story—even if another story could be beginning in a spin-off show. As Acts comes to a close, we find all of these elements to a satisfying end of a story be fulfilled. In this message, Pastor Joel explores that end, and explains why to truly understand Acts' closing message, we have to understand the end of the early church's story is the beginning of ours. What might it look like for us to take that seriously?

Court appearances, prison stays, riots, speeches full of biographical details, and lots of waiting. The end of the book of Acts can be hard to follow, but when we understand the big picture it all falls into place. The key to understanding the end of Acts is something God impresses into Paul's heart in Acts 19. Paul is going to take an up and down pathway to the great city of Rome, which is all part of his divine appointment. In this message we're going to talk about what the book of Acts teaches us about the idea of divine appointments, missions or ministries given to us by God for the purpose of, as Jesus says in Acts 1:8, being his witnesses to the ends of the earth. Pastor Joel talks through how difficulty doesn't derail our divine appointments, and shares another story in the book of Acts of a divine appointment that might look more like many of ours than Paul's.

God doesn't just want you to survive — He wants your life to overflow with His presence, His joy, His peace, and His power. In Ephesians 3:20–21, Paul declares that God is “able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us.” This isn't a distant promise — it's a present reality. God's power is already at work in you. In this message, Pastor Joel shares three ways to step into that kind of life: • Knowing the Goal • Trusting His Promise • Living by His Power Stay connected: Website: sm4.org Instagram: @santamariafoursquare Facebook: Santa Maria Foursquare Church Give: sm4.org/giving SOON TO BE VIDA CHURCH

The letter of Romans strengthened the ancient church, brought reformation to the dark ages, has brought hope for 2000 years, and can change your life!This week Pastor Joel continues Part 2 of his message series in Romans, “Bold Faith That Wins”. What is the price of unbelief? We're afraid of failure because we've been baptized in a culture of success. Especially when it comes to sharing our faith with others. But Pastor Joel reminds us that even though we are commanded to share the good news about Jesus, sometimes there is a level of unbelief that only a miracle of God is can reverse. You should take some relief from that! What else does Paul say about unbelief, let's listen in…This is a special four part series that will span the year of 2025.

In Acts 17:6, some nonbelievers plainly state the perception of Christians in their time: “These people turn the world upside down!” What a statement! And what a far cry from how the good news is experienced today. In this message, Pastor Joel examines a story from Acts 19 about how Paul, preaching the good news in a city called Ephesus, disrupted two of the main things that people relied on in their everyday lives: magic and idols, which at the end of the day are just means to control our worlds. What do we rely on today that is like magic and idols, and how might the good news of Jesus disrupt our reliance on them? This message is aimed at getting you to think about that question.
