Advent || Hope || Matthew 1:1-17

What if the very first chapter of the New Testament—the genealogy of Jesus—was more than just a list of names?
In this Advent message from Matthew 1:1–17, Pastor Cesar shows how hope is hidden in the messy family line of Jesus. Behind every name is a story of failure, rejection, and brokenness—but also a story of grace, redemption, and divine purpose.
From Abraham’s deception to David’s adultery, from forgotten generations to faithful outcasts, Matthew’s genealogy is a radical declaration: no one is too far gone for God’s redeeming power.
This message invites you to see your own story in Jesus’ story—because the same Redeemer who brought hope to the hopeless still does the same today.

Be The Church || How to Be a Godly Leader || Ephesians 4:11-16

What kind of leadership actually builds people up instead of burning them out?In this teaching from Ephesians 4:11–16, Pastor Cesar breaks down Paul’s vision for how the church grows into spiritual maturity — through servant-hearted, truth-speaking, disciple-making leaders who model the love of Christ.
The world’s version of leadership chases power, platform, and influence. But Jesus’ kind of leader serves others, builds others, and points everything back to Him. This message explores the difference between celebrity leadership and Christ-centered leadership — and challenges every believer to take up their God-given role in building the body of Christ.
Whether you’re a pastor, parent, teacher, or teammate, you’re called to lead — and this passage shows you how to do it God’s way.

In All Circumstances || 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

“Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. Give thanks in all circumstances.”If that sounds impossible, you’re not alone.
In this message from 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18, Pastor Cesar unpacks what it means to live with joy, prayer, and gratitude even when life is hard. These aren’t shallow platitudes or unrealistic expectations—they’re supernatural realities made possible through the finished work of Jesus.
You’ll learn that true joy isn’t rooted in your circumstances, but in a Savior who never leaves, provides for you daily, and turns every hardship toward your ultimate good.
Whether you’re going through loss, burnout, or doubt, this message reminds you that Jesus is always working—even when you can’t see it.

Be The Church || Why The Church Needs You || Ephesians 4:7-13

What if church isn’t something you go to — but something you play a part in?In Ephesians 4:7–13, Paul paints a picture of the church like a great symphony — many instruments, each with a unique sound, all playing together to create something beautiful.
This sermon unpacks how Jesus has uniquely gifted every believer with spiritual power and purpose to build His church. From hospitality to healing, teaching to service — every role matters. This message challenges consumer Christianity and calls us out of spiritual spectatorship into active participation.
Whether you’ve been hurt by church, felt unqualified, or think your contribution doesn’t matter, this teaching will remind you: you are essential to God’s story.

Spiritual Formation || 2 Timothy 1:13-14

In a world overflowing with hot takes and life hacks, how do you stay rooted? In this message from 2 Timothy 1:13–14, guest pastor Danny Connor unpacks Paul’s charge to “follow the pattern of sound words” and “guard the good deposit”—not by gritting our teeth, but by the Holy Spirit who dwells within us. We are all being formed by some “reference image”—culture, algorithms, family systems, politics, influencers. The Christian life isn’t about inventing a new model; it’s about returning to Jesus as the pattern, again and again, and guarding the gospel-shaped identity He’s entrusted to us.

Be The Church || Living In Unity || Ephesians 4:1-6

What keeps the Church from falling apart? In this message from Ephesians 4:1–6, we explore the foundation of true Christian unity—and why it’s the only way the Church survives and glorifies Jesus.
Pastor Cesar teaches that unity doesn’t mean sameness; it means Christ-likeness. God calls His people not to be perfect, but to be humble, gentle, patient, and lovingly endure through the power of the Holy Spirit.
If you’ve ever wondered why the church feels divided, or if you’ve been hurt by religion and are searching for something real, this message offers a blueprint for a united, authentic, Spirit-filled community.

Be The Church || How to Experience God || Ephesians 3:14-21

What if following Jesus wasn’t just about believing in Him—but experiencing Him?
In Ephesians 3:14–21, Paul prays that believers would be strengthened with power through the Spirit so that Christ would dwell in their hearts—and that they would know, not just intellectually but personally, the height, depth, width, and length of God’s love.
This sermon explores how prayer is the pathway to experiencing God’s presence, power, and love in real time. Whether you feel distant from God, spiritually dry, or simply curious about what intimacy with Him looks like, this message will help you rediscover the joy of being loved by Jesus and the power of prayer that transforms everything.

Be The Church || Why the Local Church Matters || Ephesians 3:1-13

Is the church still necessary—or just a relic with nice architecture?In Ephesians 3:1–13, Paul says the church isn’t plan B—it’s God’s plan A for making Jesus known. From prison, he describes the “mystery” now revealed: Gentiles and Jews are fellow heirs, one body in Christ, and the church’s life together puts the manifold wisdom of God on display—not just to the world but to the spiritual powers.
If you’re skeptical about organized religion or a Christian who’s drifted from Sunday gatherings, this message shows why the gospel births, sustains, and sends the local church—and why our everyday witness matters.

Be The Church || Citizens, Saints, and Family || Ephesians 2:19-22

What if the church isn’t a building—but the home of God’s presence?
In this message from Ephesians 2:19–22, we discover how Jesus takes strangers and turns them into citizens, family, and the very temple of God. Paul shows that the gospel doesn’t just reconcile us to God—it reconciles us to each other, creating a community where people from every background can belong, be transformed, and display God’s glory together.
Whether you’ve been burned by religion or you long to belong, this teaching will remind you that the church isn’t a place you go—it’s a people you become.

Be The Church || How the Cross Destroys Division || Ephesians 2:11-18

Can a divided world really become one family?
In Ephesians 2:11–18, we confront ancient hostility between Jews and Gentiles and discover a hope big enough for today’s fractures. Paul says Jesus “broke down the dividing wall of hostility” and created one new humanity—not a “Jewish church” or a “Gentile church,” not a political tribe or ethnic enclave, but a Jesus church.
This message names our default toward pride, prejudice, and preferences, then shows how the cross doesn’t crush people—it crushes the barrier between them. Unity isn’t a nice idea; it’s commanded, purchased by Jesus’ blood, and powered by His Spirit. If you’re cynical about church or hungry for the real thing, this will help you see why the Gospel is the only foundation strong enough to hold a diverse people together.
