    When Pain Gets Too Loud | Moses: Live No Lies | Pastor Joaquin Pardo

    What happens when pain gets so loud that it affects your ability to hear God? This weekend, Pastor Joaquin continued our MOSES series with a message reminding us that even when pain is present, God is still speaking, still faithful, and still moving towards broken and hurting people.  Exodus 6:9 Moses spoke thus to the people of Israel, but they did not listen to Moses, because of their broken spirit and harsh slavery.  Israel had reached a breaking point. Their suffering intensified, their hope faded, and the Bible says they could not listen “because of their broken spirit and harsh slavery.” 1) Pain can affect your ability to hear God’s promises. Pain has a way of distorting perspective, shrinking faith, and making God feel distant. But the good news is that God does not abandon people simply because they are struggling to hear Him clearly. Even in weakness, discouragement, and exhaustion, God continues pursuing His people. 2) God speaks in the middle of suffering. While Israel focused on bricks, bondage, and survival, God was already speaking liberation, redemption, and promises over their future. God did not begin by explaining everything; He began by revealing Himself: “I am the LORD.” Their suffering was loud, but God was still in control, still faithful, and still working even when they could not see it clearly. 3) Jesus is God’s loudest Word. All throughout Scripture, God reveals Himself through His Word. And when God wanted to speak most clearly to humanity, He sent Jesus. The Word became flesh. Jesus is the greater Deliverer who stepped into our bondage to bring us freedom by grace. He did not come merely to inspire broken people, but to rescue enslaved people who could never save themselves. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus breaks the power of sin and brings people into true freedom and new life! Disappointment, anxiety, exhaustion, grief, or sin may have made it difficult to hear God clearly. But the good news of the gospel is this: God still speaks. God still pursues. And through Jesus Christ, freedom is still possible.

    When the First Day Is A Failure | Moses: Live No Lies | Pastor Steve Andres

    Have you ever failed on your first day of obedience? This weekend Pastor Steve Andres continued our MOSES series with a message about being faithful even when it feels fruitless. Exodus 5:1-2 Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Let my people go, so that they may hold a festival to me in the wilderness.’” Pharaoh said, “Who is the Lord, that I should obey him and let Israel go? I do not know the Lord and I will not let Israel go.” The first day of Moses’ mission to rescue God’s people begins with a resounding thud. Instead of setting the Israelites free, Pharaoh makes their work even harder. What do you need to remember when your first day of obedience is a failure? 1) Failure isn’t final, but it might be a part of the plan. God needed to wrestle Moses from all things a leader loves to hear from his people. And God needed the people to see that their own efforts, even their own leaders, could not save them. It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until He has hurt him deeply. A.W. Tozer It might seem unkind, but only because we don’t always understand God’s wisdom, even in our wounds. 2) Sometimes obedience creates opposition before open doors.  Obedience doesn’t always yield the result we were imagining. We are confused when our obedience “doesn’t work,” But our obedience is not doing the work, God is. We obey because we trust that he is working even when we can’t see it. 3) Complaining is contagious. Behaviors spread through networks of family, friends and coworkers like a virus. When you complain you are infecting the people around you with a distorted view of God, a small view of his purposes and plan.  1 Thessalonians 5:16-18  Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. When we are grateful, we are eyes-open to God’s gifts and God’s will. When we grumble, we don’t just become bitter, we become blind to God’s plan. 4) Thorns are better than thrones. When Moses complains to God about his suffering, God reminds him that he had shown himself to Moses in a way his ancestors never knew. Just like the Apostle Paul boasted about the thorn in his flesh more than his vision of the throne of God, Moses could see purpose even in this moment of failure. Hebrews 5:8-9 Although Jesus was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered. And having been perfected, He became the source of eternal salvation for all those who obey Him. Jesus was tested in every way we are, and he learned perfect obedience. When he went to the cross, the first day of his obedience looked like utter failure. It wasn’t until the third day that he was victorious, delivering his people from sin and death and into the promise of eternal life!

    I Shall Not Want | Mother's Day 2026 | Jessi Andres

    Where do you turn when you feel anxious? This Mother’s Day weekend Jessi Andres brought a message about God’s care and sufficiency. Psalm 23:1 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. David wrote this song after facing battles, betrayals, loneliness and longing. It was all part of God’s preparation and purpose for David, just like it is for us. 1) Every calling exposes our character. We need to GROW, not GO. Motherhood, like every calling, demands the best of us and the most of us. In these moments, we find out the truth about who or what we turn to for meaning and comfort.  "An idol is whatever you look at and say in your heart of hearts, ‘If I have that, then I’ll feel my life has meaning, then I’ll know I have value, then I’ll feel significant and secure.” Timothy Keller Even the best loves in our lives become liabilities when we put them before God. David learned to trust God before anyone or anything else. 2) Fear makes us foolish. Trust makes us wise. From the beginning, the strategy of the enemy of our souls has been to introduce FEAR into our relationship with God: fear that God isn’t as good as he says he is, fear that he is holding something back. Eve and Adam believed the LIE about God, and the FEAR it created caused their FOOLISH behavior. The trick was to convince Adam and Eve that they were being courageous by disobeying God instead of trusting him. 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear. Fear is not driven out by perfect circumstances or perfect performance or a perfect family or a perfect home, but by trust that God loves us perfectly. 3) When the Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. I SHALL NOT WANT is a declaration that is more than optimism. We are not glass half-empty people. We aren’t even glass half-full people. We are MY CUP OVERFLOWS people. Lamentations 3:21-24 Yet hope returns when I remember this one thing: The Lord’s unfailing love and mercy still continue, fresh as the morning, as sure as the sunrise. The Lord is all I have, and so in Him I put my hope.  To be committed to prayer and scripture, confession and community, generosity and rest - this is the way that we remind ourselves and each other that God can supply our every need. Are you living in that trust today? “If you want to change the world, go home and love your family.” Mother Theresa

    The Burden of Proof | Moses: Live No Lies | Pastor Steve Andres

    Are you trying to bear up the burden of proof? This weekend Pastor Steve Andres continued our MOSES series with a message about identity. Exodus 3:14 God replied to Moses, “I AM who I AM. Say this to the people of Israel: I AM has sent me to you.” Moses has a confusing upbringing, born from an oppressed people, but raised in privilege. In a moment of recklessness, he kills a man who is mistreating his fellow Hebrews, and he is forced to flee Egypt. 1) Your behavior follows your sense of identity. Our actions can be traced back to our sense of who we are, for better and for worse. Our lives are an outworking of our beliefs about ourselves. 2) What makes you awkward in one season might make you relevant in the next. Moses was not like any other Hebrew, which was isolating. He was trained in the most advanced society of the day, and he was uniquely prepared to lead a nation.  From the place of your deepest wound will come your most significant gift to others. Moses spent forty years learning from the best of Egypt, then he spent the next forty years learning humility and faithfulness in the desert. 3) An encounter with God raises questions before it offers answers. When God appeared to Moses, it was unsettling, and it provoked even more questions about his identity and adequacy.  Finding WHO GOD IS is the surest way to understand WHO YOU ARE. Moses asks God, “Who am I?” The answer Moses gets is about who God is. 4) You are the person that God says you are. God tells us who we are, but the miracle is that he commits to prove it for us. Our identity in Christ is a work of God’s grace from start to finish! 2 Corinthians 5:17 This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!

    Prince of Egypt | Moses: Live No Lies | Pastor Steve Andres

    Are you a critic or do you call out the beauty from others? This weekend Pastor Steve Andres continued our MOSES series with a message about the birth of Moses. Exodus 2:2 The woman became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She saw that he was beautiful and kept him hidden for three months. In the middle of great suffering and fear, a child of promise was born. God’s work doesn’t happen in a sterile environment, removed from the ugly uncertainties of the real world. How did the love of Moses’ mother open the door for God’s saving work? 1) Love sees and speaks to the beauty in others. At a time when criticism and cynicism has been elevated to virtue, we should develop the skill of speaking to and nurturing what is good in others. Colossians 3:13 Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. It’s not hard to point out where people are wrong. It is hard to patiently, wisely and lovingly make room for others to grow. 2) Love risks when others won’t. Moses’ mother couldn’t control her situation. But she was thoughtful and strategic, and in the end she trusted God with what she valued the most. 3) When you love, God picks up the tab. Because she risked enough to love Moses, God made sure her needs were met.  2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. Moses was born from a people who were enslaved, and he was elevated to become Prince of Egypt. Jesus was the Prince of Heaven, and he laid aside his title to become a servant so that we could become sons and daughters of our King!
