Brand New: Wk 2 - A New Allegiance

Tue, 19 May 2026 03:07:43 GMT

Who’s really in charge of your life?

In week four of our Brand New series, Mingo Palacios walks through Romans 6 and shows that following Jesus isn’t just about forgiveness—it’s about a transfer of allegiance. We all serve something or someone. The question is: who are you giving your life to?

Romans 6:14 reminds us of this powerful truth: sin is no longer your master… you are under grace.

This message unpacks what it looks like to live under a new allegiance:

• From Rules to Relationship

The law demands obedience through rules, but grace invites allegiance through relationship with Jesus.

• Everyone Serves Something

Whether we realize it or not, we all surrender to something—sin, success, approval, control, or Christ.

• What You Obey Gains Momentum

The habits and choices you say “yes” to will shape the direction of your life.

• Freedom Isn’t Neutral

Jesus didn’t just set you free from sin—He set you free for a new life of righteousness.

• Your Choices Have Outcomes

Sin leads to death. Obedience leads to life, growth, and ultimately eternal life in Christ.

Mingo challenges us with a clear picture:

You’re not drifting through life—you’re following something.

And the good news is this:

You don’t have to live under your old master anymore.

In Jesus, you’ve been set free to live a brand new life with a brand new allegiance.

Mother's Day 2026

Tue, 12 May 2026 05:30:07 GMT

During a powerful Mother’s Day celebration, Pastor Mingo Palacios invites us to experience the story of the woman with the issue of blood through a fresh and deeply personal perspective. For years, this woman endured pain, isolation, disappointment, and hopelessness, yet she refused to let her condition define her future. Instead, her relentless faith and determination to reach Jesus became the very key to her healing and transformation.

Her story is more than a moment of physical healing—it is a profound reminder of what happens when we pursue Christ with unwavering faith. In the midst of struggle, uncertainty, and brokenness, her encounter with Jesus reveals that miracles are still possible for those who refuse to give up. Through her testimony, we are encouraged to believe that our pursuit of God can lead to restoration, breakthrough, healing, and renewed hope in every area of life.

This message serves as a powerful encouragement that when we press through fear, pain, and obstacles to seek Christ wholeheartedly, His presence has the power to transform not only our personal lives, but also our families, relationships, and future.

Brand New: Wk 2 - A New Identity

Mon, 04 May 2026 21:30:23 GMT

Do you know what you really have in Christ?

In week three of our Brand New series, Pastor Mingo Palacios teaches from Romans 6 and reminds us that many followers of Jesus live unaware of the power, freedom, and identity they already have through Him. Like a family who used a gold nugget as a doorstop without realizing its value, we can know about Jesus—but miss the life-changing reality of being made brand new.

Romans 6 answers a big question: If God’s grace is so great, should we just keep sinning? Paul’s answer is clear—By no means. Why? Because grace doesn’t just forgive us. Grace transforms us.

This message unpacks what it means to have a new identity in Christ:

• We Died to Sin

Sin is no longer your master. It no longer has authority over your life.

• We Were Raised with Christ

When you put your faith in Jesus, your old life was buried and you were raised into something new.

• We Are Freed from Sin’s Power

The struggle may still be real, but sin does not have the final say.

• We Have New Life Now and Forever

Because Jesus defeated death, you can experience spiritual life today and eternal life forever.

Pastor Mingo also shares how to live out this new identity:

Stop treating grace casually

Stay in the fight against sin

Don’t let old patterns take over again

Dedicate every part of your life to God

Remember who you are in Christ

You are not who you used to be.

You are not defined by your old self.

You are not powerless.

Brand New: Wk 2 - A New Humanity

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 02:00:27 GMT

What have you inherited—and what can Jesus make brand new?

In week two of our Brand New series, Noah Carlisle teaches from Romans 5 and reveals the contrast between two legacies: what we inherit in Adam, and what we receive in Jesus. Some patterns may have been passed down to us through family, culture, or pain—but they do not have to define our future.

This message explores the powerful truth that in Adam we inherit:

• Sin

Anything less than God’s best for our lives.

• Separation

Brokenness between us and God, and between us and others.

• Shame

The pressure to hide, pretend, or perform.

• Death

The spiritual and physical consequences of sin.

But in Jesus, we receive a brand new inheritance:

• Salvation from Sin

Grace is greater than our failures.

• Close Relationship with God

We are welcomed into the family of God.

• Freedom from Shame

We no longer have to hide—we can be healed.

• Brand New Life

The same power that raised Jesus can transform us today.

Noah also shares practical ways to break free from patterns that have held us back:

Bring shame into the light

Speak truth louder than lies

Let God transform your hurt so you don’t transfer it

Make peace where it is within your power

Keep praying bold prayers in the name of Jesus

No matter what has been handed down to you, the power of Jesus is greater.

You are not stuck.

You are not your past.

You are not limited to old patterns.

In Christ, you belong to a new family and a new future.

Brand New: Wk 1 - A New Standing

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 01:57:25 GMT

In week one of our Brand New series, Daniel Scotti walks through Romans 5 and shows how the death and resurrection of Jesus didn’t just inspire a movement—they made a whole new way of life possible. Because of Jesus, we are not just improved… we are made brand new.

This message unpacks powerful truths like:

• Justified Through Faith

We are made right with God not by performance, religion, or trying harder—but by trusting in Jesus.

• Peace With God

Because of Christ, we move from outsiders to family, from enemies to reconciliation, from guilt to peace.

• Standing in Grace

God’s love is not something we earn. In Jesus, we now live in His favor, acceptance, and unshakable grace.

• Hope for Today and Tomorrow

Biblical hope is more than wishful thinking. It is confident assurance that God is with us now and has a future for us.

• A New Perspective in Suffering

Pain doesn’t have to harden us. God can use even our hardest seasons to form perseverance, character, and deeper hope.

At the center of it all is this life-changing truth:

While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

This is the unconditional, proactive love of God. Jesus went first, and He went all the way so we could have new life.

Question: Week 4 - Why Do You Call Me "Lord’ and Don’t Do What I Say?

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 06:29:14 GMT

It’s possible to say all the right things about Jesus… and still miss what it actually means to follow Him.

In Week 4 of our series Questions Jesus Asked, Mingo Palacios unpacks one of Jesus’ most direct and challenging questions from :

“Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things I say?” (Luke 6:46)

This isn’t a question about what we say we believe. It’s a question about how we live.

In this message, we explore:

The Gap Between Words and Actions

It’s easy to claim faith—but Jesus is after something deeper than outward expression.

What It Really Means for Jesus to Be Lord

If Jesus is truly Lord, it doesn’t just change what we say—it transforms how we live.

Why Obedience Is an Expression of Love

Jesus makes it clear: loving Him isn’t just about devotion—it’s about following His ways.

How to Recognize Real Faith by Its Fruit

Our lives produce something. The question is—does it reflect the character of Jesus?

Building a Life That Withstands Storms

A life rooted in hearing and doing Jesus’ words creates a foundation that holds when life gets hard.

This message is an invitation to move beyond surface-level faith into a real, lived-out relationship with Jesus—one that is visible, transformative, and rooted deep.

Because when Jesus is truly Lord…

it changes how you live, what your life produces, and how you stand when storms come.

Questions: Week 3 - You Don't Want To Leave To, Do You?

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 15:47:46 GMT

Following Jesus isn’t always easy. In fact, sometimes His words are hard to hear.

In Week 3 of our series Questions Jesus Asked, Mingo Palacios unpacks a powerful and personal question from Jesus in :

“You do not want to leave too, do you?” (John 6:67)

After a crowd of followers walked away from Jesus because His teaching felt too difficult, too offensive, or too demanding, Jesus turns to His closest disciples and asks them to decide: Are you staying… or leaving too?

In this message, we explore:

Why People Walk Away from Jesus

Not because His teaching is confusing—but because it challenges our expectations, control, and comfort.

Four “Hard Truths” That Still Push People Away Today

Jesus won’t be used for our personal or political agendas

He offers more than temporary, physical solutions—He meets deeper spiritual needs

He is bigger than our limited understanding

He calls for full surrender, not partial commitment

The Danger of Shallow Faith

Like the parable of the seed, faith without roots can’t last when life gets hard.

The Invitation to Stay

When everything feels uncertain, Peter responds with clarity:

“Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.”

This message is a call to examine your faith—not just whether you believe in Jesus, but whether you’re truly following Him.

Because at some point, we all have to answer the question:

Will I keep walking with Jesus… even when it’s hard?

Questions: Week 2 - Who Do You Say I Am

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 15:44:47 GMT

Everyone has opinions about Jesus. But at some point, the question becomes personal.

In Week 2 of our series Questions Jesus Asked, Maya Mendez explores one of the most important questions Jesus ever asked His disciples: “Who do you say I am?” (Matthew 16:15). Surrounded by competing voices, beliefs, and identities in Caesarea Philippi, Jesus challenged His followers to move beyond public opinion and answer for themselves.

That question still confronts us today.

In this message, we unpack:

Why Everyone Has an Opinion About Jesus

Culture often reduces Jesus to a teacher, philosopher, or moral example—but the Gospel claims something far greater.

When the Question Becomes Personal

Jesus moves the conversation from what others think to what you believe.

Peter’s Defining Moment of Faith

“You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Recognizing who Jesus is changes everything.

Why Surrender Is So Hard

Following Jesus means letting Him define truth, identity, and direction in our lives.

How Our Identity Is Found in Christ

When we settle the question of who Jesus is, we begin to discover who we are—loved, known, and created with purpose.

Faith isn’t just agreeing with facts about Jesus. It’s responding to His invitation to follow Him.

Because the way you answer Jesus’ question—“Who do you say I am?”—shapes your identity, your purpose, and your future.

Questions: Wk 1

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 06:09:18 GMT

What are you really looking for in life?

In Week 1 of our new series Questions Jesus Asked, Daniel Scotti explores one of the very first questions Jesus asked His followers: “What are you seeking?” (John 1:38). Throughout the Gospels, Jesus asked powerful questions—not because He didn’t know the answers, but because His questions reveal what’s happening in our hearts.

In this message, we discover how the questions Jesus asked help us reflect on our desires, identity, decisions, obedience, surrender, and hope. These questions invite us to move beyond surface-level faith and examine what we truly want and where we’re searching for it.

In this message, we explore:

The Different Types of Questions Jesus Asked

Factual questions, interpretive questions, and deeper evaluative questions that reveal the condition of our hearts.

The Question That Starts It All: “What Are You Seeking?”

Jesus invites us to identify the desires that are shaping our lives.

How to Recognize What You’re Really Pursuing

Your time, money, conversations, and attention often reveal what your heart is seeking.

Why What You’re Searching For Is Actually Searching For You

Jesus invites us not just to answers, but into relationship.

The Invitation of Jesus: “Come and See”

Jesus doesn’t just give explanations—He gives invitations to experience life with Him.

Like the treasure hidden in a field or a pearl of great value, the kingdom of God is worth everything. When we discover Jesus for who He truly is, it reshapes what we seek and what we value most.

Uncomplicate Shame

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 22:36:07 GMT

Shame has a way of making us feel like we need to hide from God. But what if the very places we want to conceal are the places Jesus wants to meet us most?

In Week 3 of Uncomplicate It, Mingo Palacios walks through the powerful story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman in John 4 — a moment where Jesus steps directly into someone’s shame, not to condemn her, but to heal her and change her future.

This message reminds us that the barriers we believe disqualify us from God are often the very places where His grace is most at work.

In this message, we explore:

• The Roadblocks Shame Creates (Feeling like we’re the wrong person, in the wrong place, with too messy a past)

• Jesus’ Invitation to Living Water (A relationship with God that isn’t based on performance or perfection)

• Why We Don’t Have to Hide (Jesus meets us fully knowing our story and still offers grace)

• How Healing Happens in the Light (Confession, prayer, and community open the door to freedom)

Just like the Samaritan woman, when we allow Jesus to meet us in our shame, it not only changes us — it becomes a testimony that can change others too.

Uncomplicate Busyness

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 22:34:00 GMT

n Week 2 of Uncomplicate It, Hosanna Wong tackles one of the most common roadblocks to connecting with God: busyness. Many of us feel like we need a different season of life before we can truly experience God — less chaos, more margin, fewer responsibilities. But what if God wants to meet you right in the middle of your real life?

Grounded in Jesus’ words in John 15 about the vine and the branches, this message invites us to stop separating our “God life” from our “real life.” Instead, we’re encouraged to learn how to remain connected to Jesus in the very season we’re in — even when that season feels full, exhausting, or overwhelming.

In this message, you’ll explore:

The Roadblock of Busyness (Why we feel like we don’t have “enough time” for God)

Your Season Is Your Shortcut (God meets you where you actually are, not where you wish you were)

Bringing God Into Your Real Life (Loving God by obeying Him and loving people in your everyday rhythms)

Your Specifics Are Your Shortcut (God wired you uniquely — your personality, season, and details matter)

Through Scripture, personal stories, and seven different ways people are wired to worship, this message shows that connecting with God doesn’t require a different life — just a different perspective in the one you’re already living.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Uncomplicate Your Faith

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 22:30:30 GMT

Connecting with God can feel complicated. Many of us carry an unspoken picture of what a “perfect” Christ-follower looks like, and when our real lives don’t match that image, we’re left feeling behind, discouraged, or disconnected.

In Week 1 of our new series, Uncomplicate It, Hosanna Wong invites us to name the roadblocks that often stand between us and God and discover how Jesus came to remove them. Through Scripture, stories, and real conversations with people around the world, we’re reminded that faith was never meant to be rigid, exhausting, or performative.

In this message, we explore:

The Most Common Roadblocks to God (Busyness, distractions, grief, shame, silence, and expectations)

The Simple Invitation of Jesus (A real relationship, not religious striving)

What It Means to “Remain” in Christ (Living connected to Jesus in the middle of real life)

Why God Calls Us to Be Whole, Not Perfect (Releasing expectations that don’t come from Him)

Jesus didn’t come to add more pressure or perfectionism to our lives. He came to uncomplicate faith and invite us into an intimate, life-giving relationship with Him. This message sets the foundation for a series that helps us move from striving to flourishing.

Pray First_Pray For Our Church

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 05:57:51 GMT

What happens when a church dares to pray bold prayers together? In Week 3 of our Pray First series, James Grogan invites us to pray intentionally for our church and believe God for renewal, miracles, and transformation.

Beginning with the powerful story of Honi the Circle Maker, we’re reminded that bold, persistent prayer has always been a catalyst for God’s movement among His people. From there, we look to Acts 2 and the example of the first church to discover what we should still be praying for today.

Pray First_Pray For Our Hearts

Thu, 08 Jan 2026 03:24:44 GMT

As we step into a new year, we’re all thinking about fresh starts, new goals, and big plans for personal growth. But what if the most important change we could make isn’t a new habit or resolution, but a new priority?

In this message, we introduce our 2026 church focus: PRAY FIRST — an invitation to make prayer our first response, not our last resort. Rooted in 1 Timothy 2:1, we’re reminded that prayer isn’t about perfect words or religious performance. It’s about connection with God and placing Him first in every part of our lives.

As a church, we’re committing to grow our personal prayer lives and elevate prayer in our gatherings, our homes, and our city. This message sets the foundation for a year of spiritual renewal — starting in our hearts and flowing outward into everything God has called us to.

Waiting In Peace

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 19:55:06 GMT

What does it look like to experience peace in a season of waiting? In Week 2 of our Christmas series, The Wait Is Over, Mike Meeks unpacks the story of Simeon in Luke 2 — a man who waited for the Messiah with deep trust, active faith, clear eyes, and a heart full of joy. His life shows us that peace isn’t passive… it’s something God grows in us as we walk with Him.

In this message, we’ll explore how peaceful waiting often looks like:

Trust (Choosing to rely on God even when we can’t see the full story)

Active Faith (Stepping forward in obedience, even before the path is clear)

Eyes Open to God’s Presence (Letting Christ’s peace rule in our hearts)

Joy (Discovering the eternal hope Jesus brings — our Prince of Peace)

Through Simeon’s example, we’ll learn how God meets us in our waiting, forms us through it, and fills us with a peace the world cannot give.

Waiting In Integrity

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 07:29:53 GMT

What does it look like to live with integrity in a season of waiting? Kevin McPeak kicks off our Christmas series, The Wait is Over, unpacking how Joseph waited... with integrity. And it brought God lots of glory. In this message, we will unpack how we also can wait with integrity, and how that often looks like:

Protection (Protecting those God has entrusted us with, instead of protecting our own reputation)

Obedience (Obeying God even when others may not believe you, understand you or support you)

Commitment (Commitment to God's will and God's plan, even when it's inconvenient, unpopular, or takes thoughtful planning and perseverance)

Through God's Word and the life of Joseph we will learn how we can be people who wait well, and wait with integrity.

Have you ever felt like something was working against you? Like something was pulling you away from your purpose, direction, and joy? In today's message we unpack Ephesians 2. Together we will discover how it's true– yes, sin is working against us. But there is good news. Grace is working for us. And when we put our faith in Jesus, we are now– in Christ. And when you are in Christ, all that is true of Jesus changes what is true of you. In Christ, we discover who we really are and what we are made for! We discover the good things God has planned in advance for us to do. And He has good plans for us, for our good and His glory!

Made For Living Worthy

What does it mean in today's world to truly live like Christ? What does it look like to live worthy of the calling God has given you? In Week 4 of Made For This, Hosanna Wong teaches from Ephesians 4:1–6, where Paul shifts from reminding us who we are in Christ to how we are called to live because of Christ.

Our position in Christ changes our posture in life. Living worthy looks like humility, gentleness, patience, love, and making every effort to guard unity. Not just looking spiritual—but living like Jesus in our everyday relationships. Mostly, what God does is love us — and we are called to love like Him.

In Week 3 of our series Made for This: A Study through the Book of Ephesians, we unpack a prayer that Paul prays, and how we too can be praying for our lives, family, friends, and church as well. In Ephesians 3:14-21 we learn to pray for strength, love, knowledge, fullness, and more... because God can do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine! So we should ask. We should imagine. And we should expect in faith that God will do exceedingly above and beyond our requests. How does Christ's love change how we live? It empowers us to live with bolder faith than ever before.

Have you ever wondered, "Who am I?" or "What am I made for?" These are questions humans have asked from the beginning of time, and the Word of God has answers for us. We are starting a new series called Made for This: A Study through the Book of Ephesians, and for Week 1 of our series, we are unpacking how we are made for knowing Christ. Throughout this message we will unlock these truths:

Our identity precedes our activity.

Our status comes from his sacrifice.

We receive it when we believe it.

It turns out, we receive all that Jesus is and we become all that God says we are right when we believe in and receive Jesus. In Jesus we find who we are, and what we are made for!

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 05:29:37 GMT

Have you ever felt defeated? Have you ever felt weighed down by disappointment, discouragement, or uncertainty of the future? In the final week of our series, Living Lightly, we discover how Jesus called his disciples, and calls his disciples today to drop a posture of defeat, follow Jesus' pace, and live in victory by the power of God. It turns out, what we thought was a symbol of defeat might be exactly what God wants to use for our victory and the victory of others. We might think our story is over. But we are not done, yet.

It turns out, Jesus wants to help us trade our overwhelm for peace, and He wants us to be people who bring peace to others as well.

How does Jesus help us trade our wounds for healing, our shame for grace, and our overwhelm for peace? In this message, we kick off our brand new series Living Lightly. For Week 1, we are unpacking how we can trade the heaviness of our shame for the lightness of God's grace. In this message we will discover God's lens of our shame, and how we are invited to:

Get real with God.
Get real with a trusted person.
Put our faith in Jesus, not in ourselves.

When we do, we will discover a newfound freedom, and a lighter way to live.

What is Generosity? | Mingo Palacios

We serve a generous God who calls us to be generous as well. What does that mean? And what does that practically look like in each of our lives? What about when our finances are very different from someone else's? In Week 2 of our series, Dollars and Sense, we continue the conversation about God's heart for His people, and the generous lives He calls us to live. We will discover through God's Word that God does not define generosity based on how much money someone gives or does not give... God looks at generosity based on the proportion, not an amount. Are we obeying God with our finances? What is your next right step in obedience to God?

Dollars & Sense | Daniel Scotti

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 07:18:24 GMT

What does Jesus say about how we should think about, use, and steward our money? This is an important conversation because Jesus talked more about money, wealth and possessions than he did heaven or hell. Why? Because he knew the power & control those things can have on us, and he knew the potential blessings if we learn to view them and handle them in Godly ways.

We could view money through the lens of the Prosperity Gospel- driven by greed, the Prosperity Gospel- driven by guilt, or we could see it through the lens of the Generosity Gospel- driven by grace. This is how Jesus taught us to view money. In today's message we will discover that generosity is:

A response to God's grace and generosity to us.

An act of worship and trust.

A practice and daily posture.

We don't want to view money any other way. We want to live the way Jesus calls us to live!

Do Not Covet | Mingo Palacios

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 07:04:28 GMT

Why do we sometimes long for what we don't have? What does it reveal about ourselves when we never feel like we have enough, or nothing ever seems good enough? In a culture where it has become easy and "normalized" to covet, what does God say about the bondage that puts us in, and how we can be free from it? In today’s message we unpack the 10th commandment– Do not covet. It turns out, at the core of this temptation is us seeking to find our identity and value in what we have, and what we produce. In today's message we unpack God's Word to discover a better way to live– a free way to live! When we put our faith in Christ and find our identity in Christ, we will discover we are already free.

Here's 4 ways we can practice that freedom:

Practice gratitude.

Learn contentment in Christ.

Fight envy with generosity.

Redirect your desires through worship.

True contentment comes from trusting God to meet our deepest needs and being satisfied with what He provides. When we do that, we will start to live the way free people were created to live!

Do Not Steal/Do Not Lie | Mingo Palacios

Why are we sometimes tempted to lie, or to steal? What does that show us about ourselves? What might God want to heal within us? In today’s message we unpack the 8th and 9th commandments– Do not steal, and do not lie. It turns out, at the core of these temptations are questions of security and significance: "Do I have enough? Am I enough?" In today's message we unpack God's Word to discover who we are in Christ, and what we have in Christ. When we know who we are it will empower us to live more generous and truthful lives... the way free people were created to live.

Do Not Commit Adultery | Kevin McPeak

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 06:56:01 GMT

Why does God call us to be faithful in our marriage? Is it because of something he doesn’t want for us? Or is this because of something greater that he does want for us? In today’s message we unpack the 7th commandment– Do not commit adultery. It turns out it’s about so much more than what not to do, and what God doesn’t want for us. Together we will discover that it’s also about God’s best plan for us, and God’s protection for us. This commandment is about God protecting our hearts, homes, and health. He wants to keep marriages and families together and for them to flourish. And even when we fall short of God’s best… forgiveness and restoration is available to all of us through Jesus Christ.

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 06:49:37 GMT

What value does God place on human life? In today’s message, we unpack the 6th commandment in the 10 Commandments– do not murder. We may ask ourselves, what about war? What about self-defense? Is this about our heart or our hands? Together we will unpack God's Word to discover what murder is, and what it isn't, and discover this truth: All people are created in God’s image, and all life is precious to God.

How should Christ-followers live in a fast-paced world? What about when we're tired, exhausted, fatigued, or weary?

No Other gods | Mike Meeks

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 06:31:31 GMT

How can we actually live as the free people God's called us to be? In today’s message we kick off a new summer series, “How Free People Live.” Through it, we’ll unpack the 10 Commandments found in the Book of Exodus and how an ancient list of rules actually holds so much wisdom, hope and direction for our lives today. Each week we’ll learn more about God’s character, His love and heart for humanity, and the free lives He calls us to live.

Today, we will unlock these truths:

– Free people embrace their deliverance.

– Free people live into their restored identity.

The Continuation of the Church | Mingo Palacios

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 06:24:26 GMT

How do we continue to be the church God calls us to be? In today's message, we unpack the end of the book of Acts, and how we can continue God's mission for the church by growing in our friendship with God, growing in our friendship with people, and living lives constantly introducing our friends. The first church was not the last church. We are still in the middle of the beautiful story of what God is doing in and through His people.

The Diversity of the Church | Mingo Palacios

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 06:20:13 GMT

Does it ever feel like there's so many barriers in our world? Jesus agreed. In today's message, we unpack how the gospel of Jesus is the ultimate barrier breaker. In the book of Acts we will discover how the gospel breaks:

● Race and ethnic barriers. (Acts 15, James 2:8-9, 1 John 4:20)

● Social barriers. (Acts 2:44-45, Acts 4:32-35)

● Gender barriers. (Acts 16:13-15, Acts 18, Acts 21:8-9)

● The sin barrier. (Acts 10:43, Galatians 3:26-28)

Because of Jesus, there is a way for each and every one of us to have a real and right relationship with God!

Week 6 of Everyday Miracles – What do we do when we don't know what God is doing?
