In this message, Pastor Marco talks about how we are becoming a church who is living counter culture. Taking from Paul's words in Romans 12, living counter culture begins with surrender, is maintained by resisting conformity and is carried out by renewing the mind. Followers of Jesus are called to resist the pressure of the world and live distinctly transformed lives for the glory of God — no matter the cost.

In this message, Pastor Marco talks about how we are becoming a church who is obedient to God's Word. Obedience not only reveals our love for God but it also draws us closer in intimacy with Christ. And the good news is that God has not left us on our own. He's promised the Holy Spirit who helps us listen and obey His commands.

Life has a way of throwing transitions at us that we never saw coming, and in those moments the question is not whether the storm is real but where we anchor ourselves when it hits. In this message, Pastor Marco walks through the story of Job and what it looks like to find stability not through optimism but through certain hope rooted in God's word. We unpack four reasons to hold onto hope when life feels hopeless: God will never abandon you, His power is greater than any problem, and He is working everything into His plan even when it does not look like it. No matter what you have lost or what you are walking through, if it is not good then God is not done.

In this message, Pastor Marco describes what is meant when Paul commands believers to be filled with the Spirit in Ephesians 5. We learn that being filled with God's Spirit is an ongoing event that should happen throughout a believer's life and results in bold witnessing, prophetic utterances, singing from the heart with joy, and so much more.

Pastor Shawn, Jacob, and Pastor Marco discuss how everyday actions sow seeds that later produce impact, including Pastor Marco's Mexico missions detour where the team blessed an 18-year-old named Christian and helped reunite him with his praying mother, and Jacob's testimony of leading worship that planted faith in his mom and family, leading to prayer and her confession of Jesus before she passed. They share examples of unseen influence, children grasping that God's love is free, and the importance of passing obedience and honor to the next generation. The conversation highlights Galatians 6:7, faithful sowing in small acts, and unexpected provision.

The teaching centers on Jesus' personal letters to the seven churches, beginning with Ephesus, found in Revelation 1–3, emphasizing that these were real congregations with enduring spiritual characteristics that still reflect believers and churches today; drawing on imagery from Psalm 119:105, God's Word is presented as a lamp and light guiding believers into faithfulness, while historical and spiritual context from Acts 19 shows Ephesus as a wealthy yet deeply pagan city where the gospel confronted idolatry; the message connects Christ as the eternal Logos revealed in John 1:1, reminds believers that spiritual struggle is not against flesh and blood according to Ephesians 6:12, and presses the sobering question Jesus asks in Luke 18:8—whether He will find true faith when He returns—calling Christians not merely to hear the Word, but to live it with perseverance, repentance, and wholehearted devotion. You can connect with Moriel in more locations than just YouTube!

In this message, Pastor Marco walks through 1 John 3–4 to reveal the marks of a true believer—someone who doesn't make a practice of sin, lives with generosity, obeys God with joy, and is marked by genuine love for others. He challenges listeners to examine the evidence of their faith and reminds them that real transformation flows from this unshakable truth: God is love.

The message centers on Jesus' warning to the church in Pergamum that spiritual compromise can quietly settle in even where faith is professed, as believers learn to coexist with darkness while thinking they still walk in light (Revelation 2:12–13); living “where Satan's throne is” meant constant pressure to blend truth with pagan culture, emperor worship, and false sources of healing, yet Christ reveals Himself as the One who wields the sharp, two-edged sword—His Word—which alone exposes reality, cuts through deception, and discerns true motives (Hebrews 4:12; Revelation 1:16; Revelation 19:15); the warning echoes Jesus' own words to beware that the light we think we have is not actually darkness (Luke 11:35), calling believers to examine whether their lives truly align with Scripture or have subtly adapted to the world, because only the Word of God can rightly judge where we dwell, whom we are faithful to, and whether we remain loyal to Christ as His bride in the midst of a hostile and seductive culture.

In this message, Pastor Marco speaks on seven reasons why we can believe in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and why it matters to each of us today.

Drawing from the message, the sermon reflects on David's time in the cave as a place not of abandonment but of God's shaping work, showing that what feels like darkness and loss is often God's “potter's wheel,” forming faith, humility, and leadership; rooted in 1 Samuel 22, David's cave becomes a picture of how God prepares His anointed through suffering, just as Christ's victory came through apparent defeat, echoed in Hebrews 13 where believers are called to go outside the camp and share in His reproach, and in Romans 12, which urges believers to offer themselves as living sacrifices in response to God's mercy; the message weaves together David's story, the cross, and the Christian life to remind listeners that God is not finished with them in the cave, that suffering precedes reigning, and that those who endure with Christ will ultimately share in His victory, as affirmed throughout the Psalms and the New Testament. You can connect with Moriel in more locations than just YouTube!

In this message, Pastor Marco continues our series in 1 John as he unpacks how to identify false teaching. He then concludes the message by comparing five world religions and how they may speak of Jesus but teach a Jesus that is very different from the One in Scripture.

As the collective interviews in our local pastor series have exemplified, ministry is not for the faint of heart. Few people see the hours, the weight, and the pressure that pastors carry behind the scenes. It's a process. But these are the moments that build the church. That mature the church. The outworkings of faith are the journey, not just the destination. The product is formed in the process. The gold is refined in the fire. Join Dr. Lisa Dunne for this week's interview with Pastor Marco Contreras as he shares the ups and downs, the memories and milestones of the process that have brought him to where he is today. And if you're local to San Diego, tune in for news on the grand re-opening of the church campus and what you can expect to experience in this brand new rebuild. Pastors, ARM is calling on you for the survival of the faith in the youngest generations. Will you open your doors to an academic outreach mission that will reunite families and transform your community? Education is formation.

In this message, Pastor Marco begins a new series through the book of 1 John entitled That You May Know. Looking at 1 John 1:1–4, he explores how the Christian faith is grounded in the real, historical person of Jesus Christ and that faith in Christ is not based on speculation, but on the reality of the One who was heard, seen, and touched.

This teaching opens with thanksgiving for answered prayer and fellowship, celebrating God's healing power and faithfulness, then transitions into a biblical exhortation rooted in Book of Revelation 2, focusing on the church in Thyatira—a small, working-class city facing intense pressure to compromise faith for economic survival through pagan trade guilds—while drawing illustrative parallels from Book of Acts 12 (Peter's miraculous release from prison), Book of Acts 16–17 (Lydia of Thyatira, a faithful seller of purple who responded to the gospel), and the resulting witness seen in the church addressed in Epistle to the Philippians, emphasizing that although Thyatira was culturally insignificant, Christ addressed it with the longest letter to warn against tolerated sin, false teaching (symbolized by “Jezebel”), and moral compromise, while calling believers to perseverance, holiness, and unwavering loyalty to Him despite social, financial, and spiritual cost. 

On this episode of In The Room we have Pastor Shawn, Jonah, and Pastor Marco discussing “clogged pipelines” that keep prayers from being effective, prompting a heart check for issues like rebellion, unforgiveness, wrong motives, and unrepented sin. They emphasize prayer as essential to relationship with God and reference John 16:24 about asking in Jesus' name. Jonah shares how God quickly provided a reliable car after a breakdown, highlighting gratitude and contentment, while Pastor Marco recalls his daughter's illness and the encouragement of church intercession. The group explains general prayer, supplication, and intercessory prayer, stresses praying together, and talks about trusting God's timing, including when the answer is “no.” Thank you all for joining us, have a blessed day!

This introduction sets the stage for a focused study of the seven letters to the seven churches in the Book of Revelation (Revelation 2–3), emphasizing that these are not ordinary epistles written by apostles but the direct words of Jesus Christ, given to John and recorded under divine direction as described in Revelation 1:1; the message highlights how these letters were written to real congregations in Asia Minor yet continue to function as a spiritual “litmus test” for believers today, calling the church—not buildings or institutions but people—to examine faithfulness, perseverance, repentance, and love in light of Christ's evaluation, while reminding readers of the promised blessing for those who read, hear, and obey what is written in Revelation 1:3. You can connect with Moriel in more locations than just YouTube!

On the In the Room podcast, Reed is joined by Jacob and Pastor Marco to discuss Pastor Troy's recent series on the Holy Spirit, focusing on preparation and daily readiness. The conversation covers practical rhythms like morning gratitude, prayer, and Scripture, building intimacy with God, and discerning God's voice through relationship, identity in Christ, and confirmation through God's Word and trusted believers. They address moving from hesitation to openness, emphasize cooperation and surrender, and describe evidence of transformation in everyday life. 

In this message, Pastor Marco concludes the book of Ruth by showing how God finishes the story through Naomi, Ruth, and Obed. God heals what pain has marked, honors quiet faithfulness, and brings redemption that reaches beyond one generation. Ultimately, Ruth's story points us to Jesus—the greater Redeemer, reminding us that even when God feels silent, He is still faithfully at work.

This message reflects on the pastor's return to teaching after serious illness and centers on the timeless call Jesus gives to the suffering church in Revelation 2 (the church of Smyrna), a letter focused not on correction but on encouragement amid fear, persecution, and coming tribulation, urging believers to trust God deeply, remain faithful no matter the cost, and not be afraid of suffering, since Christ Himself has already endured it and promises to be present with His people through every trial, reminding listeners that eternal hope far outweighs present fear and that faithfulness to the end is what truly matters. 

Pastor Marco teaches that the Transfiguration is far more than a dramatic moment in Jesus' ministry; it is a prophetic revelation of the resurrection, the rapture, and the coming kingdom. By placing the event at Caesarea Philippi—a center of pagan worship, false gods, and imperial power—he highlights the contrast between false saviors and the true Christ. Jesus' declaration that the “gates of Hades will not prevail” is grounded in His identity as the Messiah and fulfilled through His death and resurrection. The appearance of Moses and Elijah is central: Moses represents those who died in faith and were raised, while Elijah represents those who are taken alive, together forming a living picture of believers united with Christ. Jesus' transfiguration uses the same “metamorphosis” language Paul later applies to the resurrection, showing that what happened to Christ previews what will happen to His people.He further explains that the disciples' desire to build tabernacles reflects their belief that the kingdom had fully arrived, yet the Father's command—“Listen to Him”—clarifies that the cross must come before the crown. The Transfiguration reveals the “already, but not yet” nature of God's kingdom: it is present now through the Spirit and obedience to Christ, but will be fully realized at His return. Pastor Marco emphasizes that discipleship requires denying self, submitting to Christ's lordship, and living in readiness rather than spiritual sleep. The passage ultimately assures believers that whether they die in Christ or are alive at His coming, they will be transformed, gathered to Him, and share in His reign—making the Transfiguration a powerful promise of future glory and a call to faithful obedience today.

In this message, Pastor Marco teaches from Ruth 4:1–12 and highlights the cost of redemption through Boaz's faithful obedience at the city gate. The message shows how God's will is revealed through decisive, responsible steps and how true redemption always requires sacrifice. Ultimately, the story of Ruth points to Jesus—the true Redeemer—who paid the full price at the cross and secured our future by grace.

In this segment, Pastor Marco introduces a study of Haggai by arguing that Christians need to “bathe” in God's Word by learning Scripture in its full-book context rather than relying on isolated verses, because God gave the Bible as books with coherent themes and purpose. He contrasts human wisdom (like Confucius, who mixed insight with historical errors) with Haggai's brief but fully reliable prophetic message, then frames Haggai's core call as “first things first”: God's work must take priority, and God's people must pursue purity so their needs are met and their anxiety is replaced by trust. Using the temple storyline (tabernacle → temple → Christ → believers as God's temple), he applies Haggai's rebuke to the New Testament church: neglecting God's work—building up believers through discipleship, evangelism, and mutual care—leads to spiritual and even practical dissatisfaction, while returning to God's priorities brings renewed obedience, reverent fear, and the assurance of God's presence: “I am with you.”

Pastor Marco frames Acts 1 as the necessary “what's next” after the resurrection: Jesus ascends, but His mission continues through a new body on earth—the church—by the power of the Holy Spirit. He emphasizes that Luke–Acts is one continuous account designed to connect later believers to the first generation, and he traces the Holy Spirit's role from Jesus' conception, baptism, temptation, ministry, death, and resurrection, to the church's commissioning. The core thrust is that Acts is not merely history; it is an invitation into an ongoing, dynamic relationship where resurrection power is experienced in holiness, boldness, gospel proclamation, and love for the lost—God's power working through human obedience.He then presses application: the Spirit is not only “in” believers but also comes “upon” them—an ongoing, renewing empowerment rather than a one-time event or a rigid “second blessing.” He links the timing of Pentecost to God's appointed feasts, portraying it as the moment the Word and Spirit converge for the church's witness, and stresses that believers are to wait, pray, fellowship, and move together in unity. The goal is not speculation about times and seasons but faithful action: to be Christ's witnesses outward from “Jerusalem” to the ends of the earth, resisting sin and division, and seeking fresh filling—“wind and fire,” boldness and holiness—so the church can carry the Great Commission in step with the Spirit and anchored in the Word.

Amos concludes with a final, weighty question: will the story end in judgment, or will it end in restoration? Pastor Marco traces the unavoidable justice of God against persistent sin, while also highlighting God's mercy and covenant faithfulness that promises renewal beyond ruin. Amos does not minimize judgment—but it also refuses to leave God's people without hope. The closing vision points forward to God's rebuilding work, the restoration of what was broken, and the wideness of God's redemptive plan. This final teaching brings the series to its doctrinal and pastoral endpoint: God is holy, judgment is real, and restoration is possible only by God's grace.

Pastor Marco Garcia shares how he stepped into his calling and what it means to move into your next with faith—even without knowing all the details. In this episode of The Now and The Next, we talk about obedience, leadership, and trusting God fully. What does it take to step into what God is calling you to? In this inspiring conversation with Pastor Marco Garcia of The Way World Outreach (San Bernardino), we discuss: - How he discovered his calling to pastor - What “going to your next” really means - Why faith without full clarity pleases God - The power of full trust in uncertain seasons - How leaders can step boldly into what's next
