Join us as Lead pastor takes us through Ephesians 6:10-20 and shows us what it means to use evangelism as warfare.We hope this message blesses you and we hope to see you in church next week.

In this message, Pastor Arnaldo explores Ephesians 6:10-20, revealing how our identity in Christ is a powerful weapon against the accusations of the enemy. We are encouraged to stand firm, not in our own goodness, but by putting on the "breastplate of righteousness"—the perfect righteousness gifted to us by Jesus. We pray this teaching was a blessing and hope to see you at our Gathering soon.

🤔 Do you ever feel like you're living in defeat, tossed around by doubt, or worn down by the constant lies and distractions of the world?🔥 In this message, "Fighting Back with Truth," Ps Arnaldo dives into Ephesians 6:10-20 to equip us for the spiritual battle we all face. We learn that the enemy's primary weapon is deception, and our first and most critical piece of armor is the Belt of Truth. This truth isn't just a set of facts; it's the person of Jesus Christ and the unshakable foundation of God's Word.⚖️ But how do we practically use this truth? This sermon shows us how to stop being discipled by culture and instead build our entire worldview on the scriptures. When we know the Truth intimately, we can fight back against the lies that cause suffering and doubt, reminding ourselves of God's unchanging goodness and standing firm on His promises.🙏 We pray this teaching was a blessing and hope to see you at our Gathering soon.

🤔 Have you ever felt like you're just going through the motions, unaware of the deeper spiritual realities shaping your life?🔥 In "Schemes of the Devil," Ps Arnaldo dives into Ephesians 6:10-20 to expose why the command to "put on the full armor of God" is so urgent. We are often lulled to sleep, thinking our biggest battles are with our finances, our frustrations, or other people, when in reality, we're in a cosmic conflict against an enemy with a strategy.⚖️ This message unmasks the enemy's methods, moving beyond cartoons to reveal his most effective and insidious schemes. From the obvious tactic of temptation to the silent, "gentle slope" of distraction that numbs our faith, this sermon is a crucial wake-up call to the spiritual war we are in.🙏 The good news is that we are not called to fight alone or in our own strength. Understanding the battle is the first step to standing firm, being strong in the Lord, and remembering that He who is in us is greater than he who is in the world.🙏 We pray this teaching was a blessing and hope to see you at our Gathering soon.

🤔 Are you grappling with unseen battles in your life? Do you ever wonder if there's more to the challenges you face than meets the eye? 🤔⚖️ Join Pastor Arnaldo as he delves into the profound question: "What is Spiritual Warfare?" In this powerful sermon, drawing from Ephesians 6:10–20, he uncovers the biblical truth that our struggles are not merely against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces at work in the world. He defines spiritual warfare as the "constant cosmic conflict that the Christian finds themselves in as they seek to bear witness to and to advance the kingdom of God in light of the resistance of the kingdom of Satan."🙏 This message will open your eyes to the unseen realities influencing your daily walk. Ps. Arnaldo powerfully reminds us that we are not fighting for victory, but from victory - a triumph already secured through Christ's resurrection and ascension. He emphasizes that every aspect of our lives is a "contested space," where we are called to advance God's kingdom.🔥 Discover how understanding spiritual warfare empowers you to live a life of purpose and perseverance. Learn to recognize the schemes of the enemy and, more importantly, how to stand firm in the vast strength of God. This sermon is a clarion call to "wake up" to our true spiritual state and equip ourselves with the armor of God.🙏 We pray this teaching was a blessing and hope to see you at our Gathering soon.

🤔 Are you grappling with profound loss or unexpected hardship? Have you ever questioned where God is in your deepest suffering?🔥 In this powerful sermon, Pastor Mitch Everingham unpacks the profound story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead in John 11:1-44. He reveals that God's love isn't incompatible with our pain; rather, He is intimately present within it, demonstrating a love that actively enters into our suffering.⚖️ Drawing on personal experiences and the biblical narrative, Mitch emphasizes that Jesus doesn't offer trivial explanations for hardship but instead offers His presence and the promise of a glorious end to our struggles. He reminds us that through Christ, suffering doesn't have the final word, and our stories are ultimately defined by resurrection, not by pain.🙏 We pray this teaching was a blessing and hope to see you at our Gathering soon.

🤔 Does fear and anxiety leave you feeling desperate and out of control, wondering where to find peace?⚖️ In this powerful sermon, Gavin Mork delves into Mark 4:35-41, "The Wonder-Working God: Calming the Storm." He unpacks the disciples' desperate situation in a raging storm and how their fear led them to doubt Jesus's character and care, even after witnessing His miraculous works. Gavin reminds us that in our anxieties, we often forget we live in a fallen world and that our perspective is small compared to God's.🙏 Gavin encourages us to remember Jesus's character – gracious, compassionate, slow to anger, and abounding in love. Just as Jesus commanded the storm, "Peace be still," He invites us to cast our anxieties on Him because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7) and offers a peace that transcends understanding (Philippians 4:4-6). We are called to trust His heart even when we cannot trace His hand.🔥 Ultimately, Gavin emphasizes that Jesus has defeated something far greater than any storm: sin and death. Through the cross, we are rescued, restored, and guaranteed an eternal home where there will be no more suffering, sickness, or pain. This incredible love and victory mean we can have faith in His divine power and care, knowing that nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:31-39).🙏 We pray this teaching was a blessing and hope to see you at our Gathering soon.

🤔 Do you ever feel weighed down by the burdens of life, longing for a deeper sense of liberation?⚖️ On Freedom Sunday 2025, James Ayre unpacks Jesus’ words in Luke 4:14–21 and explores the true freedom He offers — freedom for the broken, freedom to see, and freedom to live. This proclamation in Nazareth wasn't just a statement for His time but a timeless message of hope and release for all. Through compelling stories, including the transformative journey of John Newton, author of "Amazing Grace," James illustrates how Jesus opens our eyes not only to our own need for Him but also to the suffering and injustice in the world around us, calling us to action.🙏 This message challenges us to examine areas where we might be blind to the needs of others and reminds us that true freedom, a spiritual liberation from sin and the grip of evil, is a free gift found only in Christ. We are invited into an eternal freedom that no external circumstance can diminish. It's a call to live as free people, compelled to preach good news, pursue justice, and care for the marginalized in our communities and globally.🔥 Discover how Jesus's radical message of freedom in Luke 4:14-21 can transform your life and empower you to be an agent of change in a world desperate for hope.🙏 We pray this teaching was a blessing and hope to see you at our Gathering soon.

🤔 How can we truly make a difference in a world that seems to be pulling further away from faith?⚖️ Pastor Arnaldo, in his sermon "Witness in a Secular Age (An Apologetic of Love)" from John 13:31-35, unpacks Jesus's profound new commandment: to love one another. This isn't just a suggestion; it's the defining mark of His disciples. In a culture grappling with meaning, identity, and moral frameworks, our love becomes the most compelling argument for the Gospel.🙏 This sermon challenges us to move beyond mere argumentation and intellectual defense of faith, emphasizing that while these have their place, love is the most important ingredient in sharing the Gospel. We are called to embody a different way of living—a life characterized by receiving God's love, returning that love through obedience, and then refracting it outwards to those around us.🔥 Ultimately, our witness in a secular age is not about proving ourselves right, but about demonstrating the transformative power of God's costly love. It's about living lives so marked by love for one another that the world takes notice and knows we are followers of Jesus.🙏 We pray this teaching was a blessing and hope to see you at our Gathering soon.

🤔 How do we navigate the turbulent waters of politics while holding firm to a faith that is not of this world? In a world of collapsing kingdoms and shifting ideologies, where do we place our ultimate hope?⚖️ Ps Arnaldo delves into Jeremiah 29:1-7 to reveal that the Gospel itself is a political statement, declaring Jesus as the true King over all earthly powers. This message challenges us to see that no political party or ideology can ever fully align with the Kingdom of God, freeing us from the pressure to find ultimate answers in temporary systems. The sermon encourages us to adopt a posture of "exile," recognizing that while this world is not our final home, we are called to be agents of life and peace within it.🔥 This teaching equips us to seek the welfare of our city, engaging in the public square not out of fear or for power, but out of love for our neighbor and with our eyes fixed on the unshakable Kingdom to come. It’s a call to live with a confident hope, knowing that while earthly kingdoms rise and fall, we are citizens of a Kingdom that will never collapse.🙏 We pray this teaching was a blessing and hope to see you at our Gathering soon.

🤔 Have you ever wondered where our deep-seated sense of right and wrong comes from? In a world with conflicting views on morality, how can we find a firm foundation for the 'good' we're all looking for?⚖️ In this message, Pastor Arnaldo explores Psalm 9:1-10 to uncover the ultimate source of justice and morality. We dive into the reality that while our culture desires justice, it often struggles to ground it, leading to confusion. The sermon reveals that true, unshakable goodness is found not in shifting cultural opinions, but in the unchanging character of God as our righteous Judge.🔥 This teaching isn't just theological—it's transformational. It explains how understanding God's justice (His mishpat (מִשְׁפָּט) and tzedakah (צְדָקָה)) frees us from the pressure of moral performance. Through the finished work of Jesus, we are not just forgiven, but empowered to become people who genuinely live out the justice and righteousness our hearts long for.🙏 We pray this teaching was a blessing and hope to see you at our Gathering soon.

🤔 In a world with so many competing voices on sexuality and gender, where can we find a truth that is both loving and life-giving?⚖️ In this message, Ps Arnaldo explores Genesis to rediscover God's beautiful and original design for humanity as male and female. We see that gender is not a social construct but a good gift from God, intended for our flourishing and to reflect His relational nature. However, because of the Fall, this good gift has been marred by sin, leading to a disconnect and struggle both within ourselves and with each other.🔥 But the story doesn't end in brokenness. The Gospel offers a better and more hopeful narrative—that in Jesus, our gendered bodies are not ignored or transcended, but are consecrated and set apart for a redemptive purpose. This teaching provides a compassionate and theologically grounded framework for understanding one of the most pressing topics in our culture today.🙏 We pray this teaching was a blessing and hope to see you at our Gathering soon.
