In this message, Pastor Mateo teaches that the Holy Spirit transforms our lives by renewing our minds and motivations. As children of God, we can move from fear and shame to a life rooted in love, confidence, and spiritual growth.

In this message, Pastor Mateo teaches from Romans 7:13–8:4 that we cannot free ourselves from the power of sin or earn righteousness through our own efforts, but must depend on the grace of Jesus. Through Christ, we are rescued from condemnation and shame and invited to embrace a new life in the Spirit, where we find freedom, forgiveness, and hope beyond our failures.

Pastor Mateo walks through Romans 6, reminding us that Jesus has crucified our old identity and set us free to live a new life under the reign of grace.

Pastor Nate teaches from Romans 5 that while sin brought death and condemnation into the world, Jesus’ death and resurrection bring something far greater: new life, grace, and hope, inviting believers to live each day under the reign of grace rather than the reign of sin and death.

Pastor Mateo teaches from Romans 1:16–2:5 that God is kind, revealing the truth about Himself while warning us that rejecting His truth leads to idolatry and brokenness.

Pastor Mateo taught that because we are made in God’s image, God has created each person for good works that help creation flourish, and through life in Christ we discover the purpose, worship, and service we were made for.

This week’s message comes from our friend Pastor Tim Shepard, who explored the truth that God is love. He shared how we were created in God’s image for relationship with Him and with one another, and how His love is the foundation of our identity, community, and calling to love God and love others.

This week, Pastor Mateo kicked off our Imago Dei series by exploring how our identity, worth, and purpose are rooted in God as our Creator. Emphasizing that we were made in His image with inherent honor, intentional design, and a deep calling to live in relationship with Him.

Pastor Aidan teaches from Matthew 28:16–20 that the Great Commission begins with worship, reminding believers that Jesus sends His people into the world under His authority to make disciples and live on mission for His kingdom.

Pastor Aidan teaches from Matthew 18:21–35 that forgiveness is difficult and costly, yet it is central to the gospel because God has forgiven a debt we could never repay through Jesus. He challenges listeners to release bitterness, trust the sufficiency of the cross, and extend to others the same mercy they have received from Christ.

Pastor Mateo shows that Jesus is the greatest treasure, making following Him a joyful exchange rather than a sacrifice. He challenges us to consider what competes for our devotion and reminds us that only God can change our hearts.

This week, Pastor Mateo explains that Jesus invites weary people to lay down self-reliance and embrace childlike dependence. He emphasizes that true rest is found by walking with Jesus, who is gentle and humble at His core.

Pastor Mateo teaches that Jesus fulfills the Law by transforming it from external rule-following into a heart-level righteousness, empowering believers to live in true freedom through Him.

Pastor Mateo frames Holy Week as the defining moment that reveals Jesus as the promised Messiah and challenges each person to consider not just who He is, but how they will truly receive Him.

In this teaching on James 4:13–5:20, Pastor Mateo explains that acknowledging Jesus as Lord means surrendering our plans, time, and possessions to God and living for His glory and the good of others.
