Get Connected, Get Planted, Grow Deeper | Pastor Tara VinCross

What if being a disciple isn’t about driving harder—but about growing deeper? In Ephesians 3:14-21, Paul speaks of a love so vast, it reshapes our identity and roots us in something unshakable. Last Sabbath, we explore how to live planted in Christ’s love for a lifetime. To be planted in Christ invites us to be grounded in the community of Christ-followers.

Why is There Death? | Dr. Johnny Ramirez-Johnson

This sabbath, we celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month by having a guest speaker, Dr. Johnny Ramirez-Johnson, professor of Anthropology in the School of Intercultural Studies at Fuller Seminary, share about how Hispanic theology speaks powerfully into our collective hope—the return of Christ and the resurrection of the dead all through delving into Mark 12:18-27.

Hispanic theology output focuses on the Second Coming and how death's ultimate remedy will be resurrection. Today's sermon places death as an event on the road. Death is not the end! We will meditate on the road of death and resurrection.

Alive Again: Compassion Resurrects Part 2 | Pastor Daniel Xisto

Political violence and division are shaking our nation. Families are grieving, communities are fractured, and many are asking: Where is God in the midst of so much death and despair? In Luke 7, Jesus meets a grieving widow at the gate of her city. With a word, He stops the funeral and restores life where there was only loss. Pastor Daniel concluded our series "Alive Again: Compassion Resurrects," exploring the third and final time Luke uses the word “compassion," when Jesus Himself shows up. Discover how His compassion still breaks into our broken world, and how it calls us to live with the kind of love that changes everything!

Alive Again: Compassion Resurrects Part 1 | Pastor Daniel Xisto

What if compassion is more than kindness? What if it’s powerful enough to raise the dead?

This Sabbath, Pastor Daniel Xisto began a new two-part series exploring the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son. These familiar stories hide an unfamiliar truth: every time Luke uses the word compassion, someone who is “as good as dead” comes alive again.

We discovered how compassion isn’t just a feeling — it’s resurrection power. And it might just change the way you live this week.

The Narrow Way: The Final Invitation | Pastor Sabina Vieira

We’ve come to the final section of the Sermon on the Mount. Here, Jesus pivots and gives three powerful illustrations that bring us to the most consequential teaching in His entire message. This Sabbath, Pastor Sabina unfolded Christ’s final invitation—an invitation that was urgent then and remains just as urgent now.

The Narrow Way: Grasping, Good Gifts, and the Golden Rule. | Pastor Tara VinCross

What if asking—really asking—is the most powerful thing you can do? Jesus invites us to stop performing, stop manipulating, and start living with honesty, humility, and bold trust. Discover how asking can change your relationship with God… and everyone else. This Sabbath we reflect on Jesus' words in Matthew 7:7-12 —words that help us understand how to live the ways of the Kingdom of God.

The Narrow Way: Judge Not | Pastor Mike Leno

“Judge not” is more than a command—it’s a call to self-awareness and mercy. Before we confront the speck in someone else’s eye, Jesus invites us to deal honestly with our own hearts. Join us as we discover how following the Way of the Kingdom begins with humility.

This Sabbath we reflect on Jesus' words in Matthew 7:1-6 —words that move us towards compassion instead of condemnation. At our 9am and 11:45am worship services.

The Narrow Way: DO NOT WORRY: REALLY, JESUS? | Pastor Linda Biswas

Did you know chronic worry shrinks your brain’s ability to plan and connect… but trust in loving relationships can begin to reverse it?

We all worry — about bills, bodies, relationships, and the future. But what if Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:25-34, “Do not worry about your life…”, were not just a spiritual ideal, but a radical invitation to freedom?

This Sabbath, we explored what neuroscience reveals about how worry rewires your brain and body, why Jesus challenges the deepest assumptions of our anxious culture, and how the Kingdom of God gives us a new center of trust, joy, and purpose as we become a community of peace in a world of fear.

It’s more than just “don’t worry”—it’s a call to reclaim your mind and your mission!

The Narrow Way: On Prayer and Fasting | Pastor Tara VinCross

Jesus’ words in this message called the Sermon on the Mount challenged the disciples to live the ways of God right where they were. The same is true today. These words show us what it truly means to pursue the ways of God in this world we live in. This is not an easy calling. There is deep, inner work required. This Sabbath we reflect on Jesus' words in Matthew 6:5-18 —words that move us towards a deep, hidden life characterized by prayer and fasting.

Join us for live worship every Saturday at 9am and 11:45am. Our address is 22633 Barton Rd, Grand Terrace CA, 92313--hope to see you soon!
