Jude: Sound doctrine

Speaker: Josue Villatoro - Truth isn't something we invent, it's something God has entrusted to us. In a world full of competing voices, we're called to know His Word, hold fast to the Gospel, and let our lives reflect the Lord we profess. Standing firm isn't about winning arguments, it's about remaining faithful to Jesus. What does it look like for you to stand firm in your faith today?

Entrusted: Talent

Speaker: Bruce + Panel - Everything we have... our abilities, opportunities, resources, and experiences, has been entrusted to us by God. The question is not how much we’ve been given, but what we’re doing with what’s in our hands. Jesus isn’t looking for perfection. He’s looking for faithfulness. Are you burying, developing, or investing what God has entrusted to you?

God's Blueprint: Genesis 1:3-25

Speaker: Jon Nelson - In this message, we are invited to consider God’s blueprint and to reflect on a God who brings order out of chaos, speaks with purpose, and works intentionally. This is not simply about how the world began, but about what it means to live grounded in His design. Where in your life is God inviting you to begin again with Him?

Good News: Jesus as Messiah

Speaker: Josue Villatoro - What does it really mean to call Jesus the Messiah? This message explores the weight and meaning behind one of the most important titles given to Jesus, in which carried deep expectations in the first century as well as today. Josue dives into why this title mattered then, how Jesus challenged common assumptions, and why understanding the Messiah is essential for following Him now.

The Upside-down Kingdom: Sermon on the Mount - Matthew 4:23-5:2

Speaker: Josue Villatoro - God’s Kingdom has come — Jesus announces a new reality and a new way of living. The Kingdom changes us — Our priorities, attitudes, and responses should be different. Jesus offers the true “good life” — Not simply success or achievement, but life according to God’s design. The Kingdom is “upside down” — It values humility, service, forgiveness, generosity, and reconciliation over power. Following Jesus means transformation — It is not only about admiring His teachings, but surrendering and following Him. The key question: Am I simply listening to Jesus, or am I truly following Him?

The Gospel: The good news of the Kingdom

Speaker: Josue Villatoro - The Gospel is very simple and extremely complex. Easy to receive it by faith, but deep and profound in its meaning, implications, consequences, and connections.

Jude: Identity

Speaker: Dan Schoepf - The world tells us to find our identity within ourselves. Jude reminds us that our truest identity is found in Christ: called, loved, and kept by God. When you know whose you are, you can stand firm. What is your identity rooted in?

Entrusted: Time

Speaker: Josue Villatoro - Every day, God entrusts us with a gift we can never get back: time. We don’t own it, we steward it. The question is not how much time we have, but how we are using the time we've been given. What if the greatest measure of a life isn’t productivity, but faithfulness to the purposes God has placed before us? How are you spending the time God has entrusted to you?

God's Blueprint: Genesis 1:1-2

Speaker: Josue Villatoro - What shapes the way you understand the world, your purpose, and even God Himself? As we begin a new series in Genesis, this message takes us back to the opening words of Scripture and invites us to consider what it means to start with God at the beginning of everything. How do our assumptions affect the way we read the Bible? Where do we look for meaning and truth? And what happens when we allow God’s Word, not culture or opinion, to define our reality, identity, and purpose?

Good News: Jesus as Savior

Speaker: Jacob Reinhardt - In this message, we look at the heart of the gospel through a biblical lens, exploring how salvation is not merely a transaction but a relationship of union with Christ. How might our walk with God deepen if we saw salvation as being joined to Him—loved by Him, led by Him, and made new in Him?
