Pastor Willard - Possessing Your Promise Pt.3
May 400:37:59Tap to summarizePastor Willard continues this series talking to us about how we have to locate where we are at in order for us to possess our promise. He talks to us about how even though we are walking into a season of promise, we still will have to face some battles. God brings us out of slavery to bring us in to our promise land but we have to obey God every step of the way. God has created us for a purpose to do good things! We have to obey God at His command. We have to understand who we are in Christ now and that we are in right standing with God. We have to make sure we don't have a sense of entitlement with God and that He owes us something. We have to protect out heart with gratitude to achieve this! We have to allow God to give us revelation and speak to us. Revelation will cause us to run toward God and carry His fire when He reveals Himself to us! How are you serving God on your own? God doesn't want us to just reach the promise land as individuals, He wants us to reach it with everyone in His Church! In order for us to possess our promise our comfort level must be challenged for us to be fruitful. If we're going through a battle, could it be that's where God wants us to be to go into our promise land? We have to recognize who is in front of us in our life so we can experience freedom in Him. Just Go with God and obey!

Apr 2700:50:11Tap to summarizePastor Sergio continues his series talking about how Jesus brought us out of slavery to bring us into our promise! Heaven is not the destination, it's the reward. If we just got saved and go to Heaven, what about the years we are here on the earth? Jesus didn't save us from sin and slavery to leave us in the wilderness! Life isn't just about getting our needs met. When we're not not fulfilled in Him, we turn into a complainer. We can't keep complaining or we'll miss our promise! Complaining takes the vision off of our promise. Comfort cannot fulfil us. There are things that have to happen before we can contend for our next promise. We have to progress from the food of bondage to the food of Revelation. When we get to Revelation, God opens up the windows of Heaven and provides clarity! When we feast on His Word we have to act on His word so we can activate it. Most of what God has us do isn't for us, it's for others.
Transcribe →Pastor Sergio - Easter 2026
Apr 600:50:35Tap to summarizeHappy Easter! Pastor Sergio talks to us about how when we are living in a way that is contrary to God's Word, we are enemies of God. Thankfully, we have all been reconciled through Jesus! God's love is amazing, we can't qualify or earn it, He loves us even when we're doing things contrary to His Word! We can't doubt His Word. There were 7 types of people that showed up to hear Jesus teach in the Bible and doubted, are you one of these 7 types? We have to make sure we live under the Lordship of Jesus. To receive Jesus as our Lord, we have to submit to His Word! We have to be known by our fruits, not by our church attendance! If we're a follower of Jesus, we can tell by how we talk, how we live and where we go. We can't reduce Jesus to just our golden ticket to Heaven. We have to adjust our heart to know the real reason we serve Jesus, is to serve Jesus!

Mar 3000:37:59Tap to summarizePastor Sergio tells us about why we cannot remain ignorant in our walk, there are promises He paid for us on the Cross. The Lord brought us out of darkness to bring us into our promises! We've been saved because God has a purpose for our life. Jesus saved us on purpose for His purpose. We have to understand and learn about the unconditional and conditional promises God gives us in the Bible. We can't serve God with transactional thinking! Treating a conditional purpose as an unconditional purpose brings disappointment. We must contend and fight for the promises He has for us!
Transcribe →Pastor Jeremy Gonzalez - Be Careful Of The Stories You Tell Yourself
Mar 2300:40:16Tap to summarizePastor Jeremy Gonzalez from Bethel Church in Redding joins us and talks to us about how we have to be careful of the stories we tell ourselves! We are overcomers and conquerors, but we have to be careful of what we are telling ourselves we are in our identities. We cannot live in our past and continue to be stuck in our own fear! We can't continue to tell our story about identifying ourselves by our past traumas, failures and excuses. God wants us to live in the present and follow Him! We have to identify ourselves how He sees us, as His sons and daughters. We can't see ourselves as victims in hiding. We have to die to ourselves so we can live for the first time in our true identity in Christ!
Transcribe →Pastor Sergio - Jesus's Love Letters In Revelation Pt.4
Mar 200:43:30Tap to summarizePastor Sergio continues this series talking with us about lessons learned from the church of Thyatira. The spirit of this text from Jesus is the Father trying to warn His children that if we don't repent and change our ways, this will happen. The Word is what we need! We cannot usurp authority in our lives. When there's lawlessness we will to to church without submission to God and live in immorality. God doesn't accept a mixture of a sinful lifestyle & grace! When we're on the throne of ourselves that's a problem. One reason we struggle in life is part of the judgements of the decisions we are making. We bring these things upon ourselves because of disobedience. We can come as we are into church, but Jesus won't let us let us stay as we are. All Jesus asks is that we serve Him with all our heart. We can't be adulterers with the world and serve him! We cannot have the blessing without the obedience.

Feb 2301:03:08Tap to summarizePastor Sergio continues this series talking to us all about lessons learned from the Church of Pergamum. This is the message from the Jesus with the sharp, two-edged sword. Sometimes we don't need validation, we need correction. Jesus has to give us correction because of consequences, but He doesn't correct to punish, he corrects in love! We can't fall into the teachings of Balaam that is about compromise, idolatry and immorality. A distorted idea of grace excuses sin. If God isn't Lord our of ALL, He isn't our Lord at all! Our blessings can go to somebody else if we don't accept correction and obedience. We cannot fall into deception and temptation and think we're still being obedient to the God! God doesn't ask us to do something that we cannot do without His help. We have to make sure God's standard is our standard!

Feb 1600:45:13Tap to summarizePastor Sergio continues his series talking to us about how when we don't have Revelation of who our King is we don't have the fear of God. We have to get to know Jesus to get the Revelation of who He is! We have to understand the Jesus in the book of Revelation isn't in a manger, He's the resurrected grown King on His throne! When we really know Jesus we have no problem with the price. Suffering is a part of serving Jesus. Really serving Jesus is going to cost us! If we're not willing to go through things for the cost of Christ, we have a knock off Jesus. Suffering doesn't mean we're not in God's will. Suffering and trials can make us rich in the Spirit! Suffering is a part of the Christian journey. The fear of God is respect to God! We have to know suffering doesn't come from God. God always brings life, the devil brings suffering, not God! On the other side of suffering is blessing. God isn't the author of what's causing us to suffer. He isn't interested in the act of suffering, He's interested in our heart!

Transcribe →Pastor Sergio - Jesus's Love Letters In Revelation Pt.1
Feb 900:44:45Tap to summarizePastor Sergio begins this series talking to us about Jesus's Love Letters To The 7 Churches In Revelation. Jesus loves us so much he gives everything to us straight! In today's American Christianity, we put so much emphasis on what we believe, but God is watching our works. God will judge us by our works and not our beliefs! If Jesus were writing you a letter today, what would he say about your works? As much as He judges our works, he judges our hearts. We can have the works and standards for holiness, but still miss the mark! We can be busy for God, but still distant from God. We have to love Christ like we did in the beginning and have genuine love for Jesus! We have to serve Him from overflow, not obligation. Genuine love for Jesus is not something you have to force. Repentance keeps us in God's grace! Repentance means you change your ways and how you're living. If you don't repent, your impact will be shut down!
