Pastor Gabriel Menchaca January 1st, 2023 The question that can help us most identify what is first in our life is where do I spend my time when I have a choice to spend my time? Church is a choice. Prayer is a choice. Reading the Bible is a choice. Matthew 6:33 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Seeking the Kingdom first - begins and ends with your intake of Scripture and your time in prayer. “He who began a good work in you, w...

Pastor Daniel Mancha July 17th, 2022 Matthew 16:13-16 NKJV “When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”” A disciple is: One who follows the teachings of another.

Internal definition - how can you examine your life to see if you’re a disciple?

Psalm 19:14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Essentially, the entirety of where we’re trying to say is this: Not that we would be perfect in our speech, but that we would at the very least recognize that God ultimately pays attention to and cares about what we say, how we say it, why we say it and who we’re saying it to. Whatever controls your tongue, controls your life. ----more---- A new Church located in Los...

Rather, if we allow the Holy Spirit to convict us and lead us and teach us in our own home we create the ease of hearing this conviction in our daily life.

The world needs people anchored to Jesus ; Not turned by emotion or culture. Not moved by pressure or politics. Having depth in scripture and impact in culture. IN ACTS 9:10-19 GOD gives a vision to Ananias. Ananias has to move forward. In Acts 18:5-11 God gives a vision to Paul, Paul has to move forward. A lot of times we think just because God has put a vision in us it will just happen. A lot of times we are sitting on the vehicle God gave us to see the vision come into fruition. Forward movem...
