This video is about 10-19-26 | Love is Greater Than Liberty | Romans 14 You can be right about something and still be wrong in how you handle it! In Romans 14, Paul challenges believers to navigate disagreements with humility, love, and a commitment to unity. But how do we know which convictions are worth standing firm on and which differences we should learn to embrace? In this message, we explore why God calls us to unity, not uniformity, and how true spiritual maturity isn't measured by how much we know or how much freedom we have, but by how well we love others.

This video is about 10-12-26 | Romans 13 Deep Dive This passage is commonly misused. What does this truly mean and how do we live this out?

This video is about 10-5-26 | A Life Transformed | Romans 12 After eleven chapters unpacking the incredible mercy of God, Romans 12 asks the question: **How should people who have received God’s mercy actually live?** Paul’s answer begins with complete surrender—giving God our whole lives and allowing Him to transform us through the renewing of our minds. That transformation produces humility, moves us to use our gifts for the good of others, and teaches us to love genuinely—not simply as a feeling, but as a choice rooted in the love Jesus first showed us. But genuine love gets tested when people become difficult to love. Romans 12 calls us to bless those who hurt us, pursue peace, refuse revenge, and overcome evil with good. The harder someone is to love, the greater the opportunity we have to look like Christ. A life transformed by the mercy of Jesus becomes a life that sees people through His eyes and chooses to love them accordingly.

This video is about 9-28-26 | Living At The Altar | Romans 12 My heart is that every young adult, that our generation, would really understand this: our life doesn't just visit the altar in Sunday or Monday, it belongs there. Everything we do, our whole heart, our mind, our gifts, our skills, all of it belongs to Him. My prayer is that we'd hold nothing back and we come out with practical ways to live for Christ in our daily lives through Romans 12.

What do we do when we can’t understand what God is doing? In Romans 11, Paul wrestles with some of the biggest mysteries of God’s plan and discovers that His mercy leaves no room for pride, God's faithfulness is bigger than our failure, and His wisdom goes far beyond what we can comprehend. We don’t have to understand everything God is doing in order to trust Him—we just need to know enough about His character to trust Him with what we don’t understand. In the end, Paul reminds us that our lives are from Him, through Him, and ultimately for Him.

Have you ever found yourself repeating patterns you swore you'd never inherit? In Song of Solomon 5:2–6:3, the bride's dream reveals how subtle habits of comfort, selfishness, and delayed obedience can quietly create distance in our closest relationships. From there, we uncover one of the greatest influences on who we've become: our family of origin. Together, we'll explore how our upbringing has shaped the way we love, communicate, handle conflict, and even relate to God—and why the gospel gives us the power to break unhealthy cycles. Your past may explain you, but it doesn't define you. In Christ, you can build a new legacy marked by grace, health, and wholehearted love.

We explore how God designed love, dating, and marriage to grow slowly, intentionally, and within His protective boundaries. Through Scripture and personal experience we highlight the dangers of rushing love and the beauty of relationships built on friendships, humility, consistency, and spiritual maturity. Ultimately, the message invited everyone to trust God's timing, God's process, and God's shaping work in their lives.

How do you know if you've found "the one?" Song of Solomon invites us to ask a better question: Who am I becoming? In this message, we'll explore the "little foxes" that quietly threaten future relationships—small compromises, hidden sin, and unhealthy habits that seem insignificant today but can undermine intimacy tomorrow. Discover how to recognize godly character, pursue healing and accountability, and prepare your own heart for a lifetime of covenant love. Because the best preparation for marriage isn't finding the perfect person—it's becoming someone who reflects the faithful love of Christ.

Christ is the only hope for our marriage to last. Our marriage is only as good as our relationship with God. Scripture: Ephesians 5:25-33, Luke 23:34, John 15:4, 1John 4:18,19, Ephesians 4:31,32, Proverbs 15:1, Phil. 2:3,4, Ephesians 4:29, Proverbs 18:21 Resources: FaceBook- FCC Young Adults Instagram- @fccya Email- [email protected] Website- fccsantamaria.org

The message tackles how people that claim to follow Christ, Use the act of service to an almighty God more of a mask for fame, Reputation, Insecurity, and many more hidden agendas that the human heart desires, ultimately using the idea of "the more useful I am, the more of a person I am" where We forget the most important part of being here is to truly Love God, letting Him transform our hearts by His word, and be surrendered at His will. This gives us an opportunity to be part of something much more bigger than Us; God's beautiful redemptive story of Jesus to be made known so we can be home to where we belong. The ultimate goal of a changed Christian heart should be that, but we have made it more about building our own kingdom and blasphemed His name for our agendas. This Message is a heart check and a wake up call. It forms a question "Why do you truly serve?" Scripture: Matthew 7:21-23 ESV, Luke 10:38-42 ESV, John 15:4-5 ESV, Exodus 32:1 ESV, Galatians 1:10 ESV, Colossians 3:22-24 ESV, John 6:40 ESV, Romans 12:2 KJV, 1 Peter 2:11-12 ESV, Matthew 5:14-16 ESV, John 17:13-17 ESV Resources: FaceBook- FCC Young Adults Instagram- @fccya Email- [email protected] Website- fccsantamaria.org

We sometimes feel a tension between authenticity and growth - as if challenging each other to grow would imply that the “real” us doesn’t belong. But who are we, really? What is the authentic version of ourselves, and what does that imply about spurring each other on towards transformation into Christ likeness?

In a culture built around convenience, preference, and personal fulfillment, it's easy to bring a consumer mindset into our faith. We often evaluate church the same way we evaluate restaurants, products, and entertainment: Did I enjoy it? Did it meet my needs? Was I fed? But Scripture presents a radically different vision of the church—not as a product to consume, but as a family where God forms us into the image of Christ. This message challenges us to move beyond comfort and preference and embrace the kind of commitment, sacrifice, and perseverance that produce genuine spiritual maturity.

Modern Christianity doesn’t usually reject God — it often reshapes Him. In this opening week of Golden Calves, we look at Israel’s worship of the golden calf and ask a hard question: have we done the same? When worship becomes centered on our feelings, experiences, and spiritual highs, we can mistake emotional atmosphere for genuine surrender. This message challenges us to move beyond chasing encounters with God and toward the long, hidden, ordinary path of obedience that actually forms us into Christ’s image.
