Red Letters: The Pure Pursuit - Pastor Josiah Elias
2d ago00:36:29Tap to summarizeIn this powerful and convicting message from Matthew 23, Pastor Josiah Elias exposes the danger of hypocrisy and reveals what authentic Christlike leadership truly looks like. As Jesus confronts the Pharisees, we're reminded that God is not impressed by outward appearances, religious titles, or public recognition—He is looking for hearts marked by humility, integrity, and obedience. This sermon challenges every believer to reject performance-based religion and instead become people whose private lives match their public confession.Discover why healthy spiritual leaders are called to point people to Jesus rather than themselves, walk alongside others instead of carrying them, and reflect the character of Christ in every area of life. Through the example of Jesus—the greatest servant of all—we learn that true greatness is found not in being exalted by people, but in humbling ourselves before God. If you've ever struggled with disappointment in leadership, wrestled with religious performance, or desire to grow in genuine discipleship, this message will encourage you to pursue the humility that attracts the presence of God and transforms lives from the inside out.

2d ago00:44:42Tap to summarizeSermon Description:What does it truly mean to be holy? In this powerful message on Jehovah M'Kaddesh—"The Lord Who Sanctifies," we discover that sanctification is not something we accomplish through our own effort, but a transforming work of God's grace in the life of every believer. From the moment we surrender to Christ, God begins setting us apart for His purposes, shaping us into His image, and calling us to live differently in a world that constantly pulls us toward compromise. This sermon explores the beauty of a life consecrated to the Lord, revealing that holiness is not about religious performance but about intimate relationship, daily surrender, and the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit. As the Lord sanctifies our hearts, minds, and lives, He removes what doesn't belong, refines our character, and prepares us to reflect the holiness of Christ. Be encouraged that the God who called you is also faithful to complete the work He began in you. Jehovah M'Kaddesh is still setting His people apart, purifying His Church, and preparing a spotless Bride for the return of Jesus Christ.

Transcribe →Guest Speaker: Yes Lord Belief In The Battle - Pastor Greg Hendricks
1w ago00:58:18Tap to summarizePastor Greg Hendricks delivers a powerful message entitled, "Yes, Lord", calling believers to respond to Jesus with unwavering faith, complete surrender, and radical obedience. Through the story of Lazarus in John 11, we discover that faith is established long before trials attempt to shake us, and that God's greatest miracles often begin when we simply say, "Yes, Lord." Even when circumstances seem hopeless, Jesus is still the Resurrection and the Life, inviting us to roll away the stone, believe His Word, and witness the glory of God.This sermon challenges us to move beyond merely hearing the voice of Christ and begin walking in obedience. Just as Lazarus had to leave behind his grave clothes after being raised to life, every believer is called to lay aside the old nature and embrace the new life found in Jesus. Pastor Greg reminds us that while Lazarus walking out of the grave transformed his earthly life, Jesus walking out of the grave forever changed eternity for everyone who believes. If you're battling doubt, facing impossible circumstances, or longing for renewed faith, this message will encourage you to trust God's promises, live by faith instead of sight, and boldly declare, "Yes, Lord."
Transcribe →Midweek Encounter: His Name: El Gibbor - Pastor Josiah Elias
1w ago00:29:18Tap to summarizeIn this faith-building message on El Gibbor—The Mighty God, we discover the incomparable power, strength, and majesty of the God who fights for His people and empowers the weak. From Isaiah's prophetic declaration that the coming Messiah would be called "Mighty God" to the psalmist's praise of His unsearchable greatness, this sermon reveals a God whose might has no equal and whose power never fails. Scripture reminds us that El Gibbor is not only mighty in battle, but mighty in mercy, covenant, and compassion—calling His people to love Him wholeheartedly, walk in His ways, and trust Him above every circumstance. Just as God called Gideon a "mighty man of valor" before he ever saw himself that way, He still speaks identity and courage over those who feel weak, overlooked, or inadequate. Isaiah 40 declares that while human strength fades and even the strongest grow weary, El Gibbor never grows tired, and He freely gives His strength to those who wait on Him. Whether you're facing impossible odds, battling fear, or longing for renewed hope, this message will inspire you to lift your eyes to the Mighty God who reigns over heaven and earth, renews the strength of His people, and is more than able to accomplish the impossible through those who trust in Him.

Transcribe →Midweek Encounter: His Name: El Bethel - Pastor Josiah Elias
2w ago00:39:49Tap to summarizeJacob's journey to Bethel began in one of the darkest seasons of his life. Running from his past, uncertain of his future, and alone in the wilderness, he encountered the presence of God in a place he least expected. There, God revealed His covenant, promised His faithfulness, and Jacob declared, "Surely the LORD is in this place."But God's desire was never for Jacob to merely remember a sacred place—it was to know the God who met him there.Years later, God called Jacob back to Bethel. Before returning, Jacob instructed his household to put away their idols, purify themselves, and prepare their hearts for worship. This time, Jacob didn't simply revisit the place of his encounter; he built an altar and called it El Bethel—"The God of Bethel." His relationship had matured from revering a location to worshiping the God who had faithfully been with him every step of the journey.In this message, discover how God often meets us in unexpected places, calls us to leave behind the idols that compete for our hearts, and invites us into a deeper relationship with Him. Our faith cannot be built on yesterday's experiences or sacred moments alone—it must be rooted in the living God who remains faithful through every season.If you've ever found yourself longing to return to the place where you first encountered God, this message is an invitation to move beyond the memory of an experience and into a lifelong relationship with the God of every encounter.Key Scriptures:• Genesis 28:10–19• Genesis 31:13• Genesis 35:1–7Join us as we pursue the presence of Jesus, grow in His Word, and cultivate a culture like Christ at Faith Chapel San Diego.
