Alive! | An Invitation to New Life | Romans 6:4

What if Christianity isn’t about improving your life—but replacing it altogether? In this Easter message, we explore the powerful truth of Romans 6:4: that through Jesus’ death and resurrection, your old life isn’t fixed...it’s buried. And in its place, God offers something entirely new. This isn’t behavior modification. It’s resurrection. Whether you feel stuck in cycles you can’t break, weighed down by guilt and shame, or simply going through the motions, this message is an invitation: you don’t need a better version of your life—you need a new one. And in Jesus, that life is available right now. In this message, you’ll discover: Why your old life must be buried, not improved How new life is raised by God’s power, not your effort What it actually means to walk in “newness of life” Jesus is alive. And because He is alive…you can be too. 🌐 Learn more about Village: https://www.sacvillage.org 💛 Support what God is doing: https://www.sacvillage.org/give

One Anothering | The Community Matrix | Hebrews 10:19-25

What if the biggest factor in your spiritual growth isn’t just your habits… but your people? In this message from Hebrews 10, we see that God never intended for you to follow Jesus alone. You are being shaped—right now—by the relationships around you. The question is: are they helping you drift… or helping you grow? We explore what it means to “consider one another” and how real, gospel-centered community requires both encouragement and provocation. Not just support—but truth. Not just comfort—but calling. Because Christ has secured your access to God, He now uses His people to sustain your faith. Step into the kind of community that keeps you. 👉 Learn more about Village: https://sacvillage.org 👉 Give to support what God is doing: https://sacvillage.org/give

One Anothering | The Grace Cycle | Colossians 3:12-13

In this message, we explore God’s design for life together through confession, forgiveness, and healing. Because of what Christ has done, we don’t have to hide, pretend, or keep score. Instead, we can live in a rhythm of grace; confessing humbly, forgiving freely, and experiencing real healing in community. This is how the gospel transforms not just our hearts… but our relationships. Join us as we learn what it looks like to live in The Grace Cycle. 🔗 Learn more about Village Church: https://sacvillage.org 🙏 Give to support what God is doing at Village: https://sacvillage.org/give

One Anothering | Love & Serve | Galatians 5:13-15

The gospel doesn’t just reconcile us to God—it reshapes how we relate to one another. In the New Testament, the phrase “one another” appears nearly sixty times. These commands describe the kind of community the gospel is meant to create: a people who actively love, serve, encourage, forgive, and carry one another’s burdens. In this first message of the One Anothering series, we explore Jesus’ command to love one another and Paul’s call to serve one another through love. We also look at the wisdom of Galatians 6, which teaches us how to carry one another’s burdens without falling into unhealthy patterns like co-dependency and triangulation. The church is meant to be a place where love is practiced, burdens are shared, and people grow toward maturity in Christ together.

True & Better: Servant, Not Sovereign | Philippians 2:5-8

Our culture tells us that the fully human life is a self-sovereign life; where you define your truth, determine your purpose, and answer to no one but yourself. But the story of Scripture tells a different story. From the beginning, humanity has chased the throne. Yet in Jesus we see what true humanity actually looks like. Though He possessed all authority, Jesus did not grasp for power, He humbled Himself, took the form of a servant, and gave His life for others. In this final message of the True & Better series, we look at Philippians 2 and Mark 10 to see how Jesus reveals the true pattern of the human life: not autonomy, but humble obedience and self-giving love. The goal of the Christian life is becoming like Christ. Learn more about Village: https://sacvillage.org Support the ministry of Village: https://sacvillage.org/give

True & Better: Pilgram, Not Consumer | 1 Peter 2:11-12

In this message, we explore what Scripture means when it calls believers “strangers,” “exiles,” and “citizens of heaven.” What if much of our anxiety, frustration, and spiritual drift comes from forgetting who we really are? The consumer identity says life is about maximizing comfort, curating experiences, and protecting preferences. The gospel says something different: this world is not your home; it is your assignment. Through 1 Peter 2 and Philippians 3, we’ll see how identity determines attachment, how desire becomes a battlefield, how citizenship shapes conduct, and how resurrection hope loosens our grip on this age. Consumers cling. Pilgrims walk. And King Jesus is not up for re-election. Learn more about Village: 👉 https://sacvillage.org To support the mission: 👉 https://sacvillage.org/give

True & Better: Holy, Not Therapeutic | Leviticus 14:45

In a culture shaped by Moral Therapeutic Deism, it’s easy to believe God mainly wants us to be nice and feel good. But the Bible reveals something far greater — and far more unsettling: God is holy. In this message, Nick Rozema explores why God’s holiness is our biggest problem, why heaven is about more Christ (not just more comfort), and why good people don’t go to heaven; justified people do. True holiness isn’t moral effort; it’s deep delight in God. Will we shrink God to fit our lives? Or be transformed by seeing Him as He truly is?

True & Better: Communal, Not Isolated | Acts 2:42-47

We are more connected than ever; and yet loneliness is epidemic. Our culture tells us to find ourselves in isolation or define ourselves against the crowd. But Scripture offers something better: identity formed in Christ, among His people. In this message, we explore how God shapes us not in private spirituality, but through shared life, gospel-shaped dialogue, and faithful presence in the church. From Acts 2 to Ephesians 4 and Hebrews 10, we see that salvation is personal—but never private. You were not saved into independence. You were saved into a body. If identity is formed alone, no one can challenge you. If identity is imposed by the group, no one can truly know you. But if identity is formed in Christ, among His people, transformation becomes possible without losing yourself. Listen in and discover why community isn’t optional to spiritual growth—it’s the context where maturity happens.

True & Better: Embodied, Not Just Emotional | 1 Corinthians 6:12-18

Our culture tells us that who we really are lives deep inside our feelings and desires; and that the body is something to manage, ignore, or overcome. Scripture tells a very different story. In this message, we explore the Bible’s vision of the human person as an integrated, embodied being; created by God, corrupted by sin, redeemed by Christ, and destined for bodily resurrection. From Genesis to the resurrection of Jesus, Scripture insists that what we do with our bodies matters because our bodies belong to the Lord. This sermon unpacks why sin and obedience are always embodied, why worship is more than emotional sincerity, and why Christian freedom is found not in self-ownership but in belonging to God. Ultimately, it calls us to a true and better vision of identity—whole, not divided; embodied, not disembodied; offered to the glory of God. 🔗 Learn more about Village: HERE 💛 Support the mission of Village: HERE

True & Better: Covenant, Not Consent | Psalm 24:1-2

Covenant, Not Consent God Governs Reality, Not Individual “Truth” We live in a world where freedom is defined by choice and truth is treated as something we authorize from the inside out. If I didn’t choose it, it can’t bind me. If it doesn’t align with me, it can’t claim me. But Scripture tells a very different story. Webside: https://www.sacvillage.org
