412Temecula

In last week’s message we learned how to identify and avoid false teachers, but what should we actually expect from true pastors? Continuing our study in 2nd Corinthians, Pastor Tim teaches a message from Chapter 11 entitled “Shepherds" that explains how a pastor must live up to a particular set of traits and responsibilities. Pastors should…1) follow the golden rule, 2) be willing to suffer for the Gospel, 3) have a unique connection to the congregation, and 4) be transparent and not put up a front. We hope this message serves as a reminder that you can and should be holding your pastor accountable to this standard!

As your perspective changes when you grow as a Christian, it’s important to develop a balanced approach to life. Continuing in the “Stirred Up” series, Pastor Tim teaches Part 2 of “Things Change”, a message from 2nd Timothy Chapter 2 that describes what happens when we embrace the Spirit God has given us. When we are stirred in the Spirit, we…1) avoid legalism, 2) have a Paul, a Barnabas, and a Timothy, and 3) lead a disciplined life. We hope this message encourages you to strike a balance in life as you allow God to stir up the Spirit in you.

Jesus has caused offense to people throughout history, but in a necessary way. Continuing in “The Red Letter Dilemma” series, Pastor Tim teaches a message from Mark Chapter 6 entitled “Offended at Jesus” that explains the effect His offensiveness has on some people. When people are offended at Jesus…1) they try to attack His credibility, 2) they don’t care what He has to say, (even though He’s right), and 3) they limit God’s ability to perform miracles. As believers in Jesus, we are changed for the better by His offense as it only brings us closer to Him!

Attorney Nicole Pearson informs us and warns about the dangerous slippery slope from the U.S. push to require vaccine passports and a communist China style social credit score system Nicole C. Pearson is dedicated to four things – the Facts, the Law, Truth, and Justice. She defends against the coordinated assault on our – and more alarmingly, our children’s – individual liberties, by politicians, special interest groups, private entities emboldened by the government, and even our own neighbors. Her Law Firm is leading the fight against this assault to protect our children, and the basic principles of popular sovereignty, limited government, checks and balances, and personal autonomy necessary for a free and healthy society. After graduating U.C.L.A. with honors, Nicole graduated from Loyola Law School as a scholar and Moot Court champion, and began practicing defense litigation, representing businesses and employers from across the globe. Nicole’s career has been marked by a passion for Truth and Justice, a zeal for tackling – and winning – legal challenges. Nicole’s broad legal experience encompasses employment discrimination (race, religion, pregnancy, disability, marital status, leave), harassment, retaliation, and wrongful termination; civil rights violations, and Constitutional issues. Nicole’s appreciation for the Constitution and the United States comes from her Abuelita, who escaped Italian fascism during World War II by fleeing to Argentina – where Nicole’s mother was born – and later fled from socialism in Argentina to build a better, safer life here in the U.S. Remembering her Abuelita’s story, Nicole vowed to never take for granted everything her ancestors risked to create the beautiful family and life she now has in Southern California.

Unexpected Christmas 2021

As Christians, we are taught to live with an eternal mindset since heaven awaits us in the future, but also that we need to be living with urgency in the present, doing the work of the Lord. Continuing our study in 2nd Corinthians, Pastor Jake Porter teaches a message from Chapter 6 entitled “The Dichotomy” that describes this dual focus we are to have. Jesus left us in a dichotomy, in it we should…1) have a sense of urgency to be busy at work with Jesus, 2) have a sense of urgency for personal holiness, 3) surround ourselves with true Believers. We hope this message encourages you to embrace this dichotomy and glorify God with your life!

Who we are on the inside is much more important than who we appear to be on the outside.

The contents of our heart…1) we are responsible for what is in it, 2) will affect those around us, and 3) when good, free us up to rightly worship God. We hope this message reminds you to constantly be storing God’s good treasures in your heart!

Continuing our study in 2nd Corinthians, Pastor Jake Porter teaches a message from Chapter 5 entitled “A Hopeful Future” that describes the hope we have available in Christ. When we have a hopeful future…1) We KNOW that we KNOW, 2) We have a desire to focus on heavenly things, 3) We remain confident in the heavenly things, and 4) We live our lives, focused on eternity.

False doctrines are becoming more widespread, and standing for Biblical truth is vital. Continuing our series in the book of Galatians, Pastor Tim teaches a message from Galatians Chapter 2 entitled “Dealing with False Doctrines” that shows us what we can do about it. When dealing with False Doctrines…1) endeavor to establish the truth with spiritual leaders, 2) remain extremely narrow-minded and hard-headed, and 3) maintain fellowship with like-minded believers. We hope this message helps you learn and grow in your faith, and to effectively deal with false doctrines!

Peoples lives are only going to be changed by faith in God and Romans 10:17 tells us “…faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Continuing in the “Stirred Up” series, Pastor Tim teaches a message from 2nd Timothy Chapter 2 entitled “Sharing the Word” that describes why it is so important for each of us to not only be constantly in God’s word but also to be sharing God’s word with the people in our lives. When we are stirred to share God’s word, we will… 1) keep the Word of God preeminent, 2) diligently study the Word yourself, 3) avoid worldly wisdom and stick to the Word of God, 4) strive towards personal holiness, and 5) have a pure and humble heart of true love for people.

The Scriptures remind us that those who bless Israel will be blessed, while those who disregard it may experience spiritual ramifications.
