In Part 2 of the Christian-ish series as we examine how Godly sorrow brings repentance. We will never be able to experience the fullness of what God has in store for every believer unless we yield to the power of the Holy Spirit.

He called us to deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and fully surrender our lives to Him.Main Scripture: 2 Corinthians 7:7-10Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts?

As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (1Pe 4:10-11 KJV)And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; (Col 3:23 KJV)And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto (served), but to minister (serve), and to give his life a ransom for many. (Mar 10:44-45 KJV)
This week, we dove back into the story of Hosea and Gomer. As a typology, their marriage serves as a living illustration: Gomer represents the wandering church, while Hosea represents a God whose love is relentless. The core message? Sometimes the "bad" things we experience are actually God's surgical mercy, designed to save us from the "good" things that have become idols.Main Scripture: Hosea 2:1–9, Luke 15, Matthew 25:14-30, John 1, Psalm 23 Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts?

In Part 1 of our new series, Love That Won't Quit, we step into one of the most unsettling stories in the Bible—the story of Hosea and Gomer. This is not a romantic love story. It's a revelation of covenant love, redemptive love, and a God who relentlessly pursues people who keep running away.Main Scripture: Hosea 1:2-3, Hosea 4:12, Colossians 3:5, Romans 1:24-25, 1 Corinthians 6:18-19Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts?

In this message, Pastor Mark Bonilla explores the "health epidemic" of isolation, noting that social disconnection carries a health risk equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. He proposed that the only remedy is authentic biblical community. You will learn:True community requires looking intently at each other, not just passing by.Like an egg must be broken and moved vigorously to change state, we must allow others to "irritate" our status quo for growth.It isn't just praying "for" someone; it's walking "with" them and literally lightening their load.You don't sharpen a knife with a rag. You need "no-people" and challengers who are stronger or wiser to hone your character.Main Scripture: Hebrews 10:24, Galatians 6:2, Proverbs 27:17Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts?

We all want a new year to feel different.But most change doesn't fail because of a lack of desire.It fails because of a lack of positioning.Jesus didn't say try harder.He said draw nearer.Fasting isn't about punishment.It's about clarity.It's not about what you give up. It's about what you make room for.This year doesn't begin with louder goals.It begins with healthier habits.With prayer.With surrender.With leaning into God at your inflection point.Some breakthroughs don't come from effort.They come from alignment.This is my year because this is my posture.Not a diet. Not a trend.A posture of surrender.Who's fasting something this week?Main Scripture: Luke 2:11-20; Philippians 2:3; Proverbs 4:20-22; Genesis 12:1-4; Nehemiah 8:10; John 3:16Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts?

This message confronts the deeply held belief many people carry that they are disqualified from God's love, purpose, or calling due to their past, their pain, or their perceived inadequacy. Mary's story reminds us that God does not wait for us to feel worthy before He works through us. Instead, He meets us in our fear, speaks purpose over us, and invites us to trust Him with what feels impossible.This sermon reveals that God's grace does not ignore our unworthiness it overcomes it. The arrival of Jesus is proof that God draws near not to the impressive, but to the humble, the hesitant, and the unsure. Like Mary, we are invited to surrender our doubts and say yes to a God who makes us worthy through His presence.Main Scripture: Luke 1:26–38Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts?

Joy is not the product of circumstances; joy is the overflow of recognizing that God is already at work—even when what He's doing doesn't yet make sense. What do you do when life doesn't look like what you prayed for?
Jesus doesn't just bring peace — He is peace. True peace is not the absence of problems; it is the presence of Christ in them.Recognize why peace feels so elusive,Understand Jesus as the source of true biblical peace, andExperience peace in tangible ways through surrender and trust.
Christmas doesn't have to be either great or hard. There's a hope that overcomes anything. On a silent night, a light broke through the darkness. The world watched in awe as love stepped in. Jesus changed everything—including the life that's possible for us. We can experience the wonder of our Savior. Together we'll reflect on the hope, peace, joy, and love found in Him with our series, The Arrival.
What if Jesus walked through the doors today and told us He was returning exactly one year from now? How would that change everything about the way we live? This powerful message from 1 Peter 4:1-11 challenges us to examine whether we're truly living like the end is near or just going through the motions of faith while our hearts remain tethered to temporary things. The passage confronts us with uncomfortable questions about idolatry in our modern lives, reminding us that anything elevated above God, whether it's sports, relationships, approval, or even our own families, can become an idol that steals our worship. Peter urges believers to arm themselves with Christ's attitude toward suffering and to be anxious to do God's will rather than chase our own desires. The text reveals ten diagnostic questions to identify idols in our lives, from what dominates our thoughts to what we defend excessively. But this isn't just about what we avoid; it's about what we pursue. People who live like the end is near are earnest and disciplined in prayer, show deep unconditional love that covers a multitude of sins, and actively use their spiritual gifts to serve others. The challenge isn't to live in fear, but to live with purpose, knowing that opposition will come when we choose to follow Jesus faithfully, yet pressing forward anyway because eternity is what truly matters.**Sermon Notes:****Title:** Living Like the End is Near **Speaker:** Jesse **Text:** 1 Peter 4:1-11 (NLT)**Detailed Notes:**1. **Introduction:** - Jesse expresses gratitude for the opportunity to lead a student takeover and highlights how student ministry serves as a bridge from kids' ministry to adult services. - The series has been based on 1 Peter, focusing on the call to live in light of the living hope through Jesus. 2. **Theme of 1 Peter:** - The book emphasizes living in response to the living hope given through Jesus. - Christians should live with an awareness that this world is temporary.3. **Passage Overview:** - Jesse reads 1 Peter 4:1-11, highlighting the call to arm ourselves with Christ's attitude, be prepared to suffer, resist sin, and live for the will of God.4. **Main Points:** - **Arm Yourself with the Attitude of Christ:** - Be ready to suffer as Christ did and cease following your sinful desires. - Prioritize living for God's will over worldly pursuits and pleasures. - **Understanding Idolatry:** - Anything elevated above God can become an idol (e.g., power, pleasure, money). - Evaluate priorities to ensure they are aligned with God's will. - **Expect Opposition:** - Faithful following of Jesus will likely lead to slander or rejection by former friends or worldly influences. - Opposition is a normal part of sincerely following Christ. - **Stay Eternally Focused:** - Be earnest and disciplined in prayer. - Show deep love to others, practicing hospitality and using spiritual gifts for service. - **Utilize God's Gifts:** - Recognize and actively use the spiritual gifts God has bestowed for the benefit of others and God's glory.5. **Concluding Story:** - Jesse shares an experience of witnessing baptisms and the heartfelt reminder that choosing to follow Jesus is the most significant decision in life. - Encourages living every day with the urgency that the end is near.**Practical Applications:**- **Evaluate Priorities:** - List and rank your current priorities.
