    The Bottom Line || Part 1 || Pastor Steve Garcia

    When it comes to money, what does God really want from us? Money can be one of the most uncomfortable topics to discuss, especially in church. But here's the truth: When the Bible talks about money, it's never just about money. It's about something much deeper—our gratitude, worship, and trust in God. In Part 1 of our new series, The Bottom Line, Lead Pastor Steve Garcia explores what Proverbs 3 and Deuteronomy 26 teach us about biblical giving and why honoring God with our finances is ultimately about transforming our hearts. The Bottom Line: Give God your first and best, then choose to live off of the rest. God doesn't want something from you. He wants something for you. Discover how putting Him first can change the way you think about money—and deepen your relationship with Him.

    Part 8: Life of Elisha || Pastor Steve Garcia

    What happens when you know what God wants you to do—but you stop short of actually doing it?    Sometimes we know we need to change, but return to our old habits. Sometimes we start following God faithfully, but grow tired and settle for doing just enough. And sometimes the changes happening around us make it difficult to believe anything will ever remain steady.   In 2 Kings 13, we come to the final chapter of Elisha's extraordinary life. And even in his dying moments, the prophet has one more powerful message for God's people.  “Don't stop short of what God is calling you to do.”  In Part 8 of The Life of Elisha, Lead Pastor Steve Garcia shares three powerful lessons for a life of faithful obedience:.   Keep firing.  Keep following.  Keep trusting.    Elisha faithfully served God for more than fifty years. And when his life came to an end, one final miracle reminded everyone of something greater: “The prophet may be gone, but God is still God.” This world will keep changing. People will come and go. Circumstances will shift. But the everlasting God remains faithful. And through Jesus Christ—who died for our sins and rose again—we have a hope that even death cannot destroy.   “Don't silence God's warning. Don't settle for halfway obedience. And don't anchor your hope in something that cannot last.”    Keep following Jesus until the final arrow flies.  - NEXT STEPS  Looking to take your next step?  We want to help!

    Life of Elisha || Part 7 || Pastor David Gaunt

    When God doesn’t act as quickly as we hope, it’s easy to wonder whether He sees—or cares. In Part 7 of Life of Elisha, we explore 2 Kings 9, where promises spoken years earlier come to pass. God had not forgotten His word or overlooked the suffering of His people. Whether you need to turn from something you’ve been excusing or trust God with something unresolved, this message invites you to follow Jesus—the King who purchased our peace through His death and resurrection. Scripture: 2 Kings 9; 2 Peter 3:9; Psalm 42:9–11; Isaiah 9:6–7; John 14:27; Philippians 4:6–7. - NEXT STEPS  Looking to take your next step?  We want to help!

    Life of Elisha || Part 6 || Pastor Steve Garcia

    What do you do when all you can see is the problem in front of you? In 2 Kings 6, Elisha's servant wakes up to discover an enemy army surrounding the city. From everything he can see, the situation is hopeless. But Elisha sees something his servant doesn't. He prays: “LORD, please open his eyes and let him see.” Suddenly, the servant sees the mountain filled with horses and chariots of fire. The enemy hasn't disappeared. The circumstances haven't changed. But now he can see that God has been there all along.  In Part 6 of The Life of Elisha, Pastor Steve Garcia walks us through three remarkable scenes from 2 Kings 6 that teach us to keep our eyes open to God's care, presence, and grace: Maybe you're carrying something you've decided is too small to bother God with. Maybe you're facing something so overwhelming that you can't see a way forward. Or maybe you've been hurt and are more interested in winning the fight than responding with the grace of Jesus. Ask God to open your eyes. Whatever lies ahead this week, keep your eyes open: “Those who are for us are more than those who are against us.” — 2 Kings 6:16   - NEXT STEPS  Looking to take your next step?  We want to help!

    Life of Elisha || Part 5: “LOOK AGAIN!” || Pastor Steve Garcia

    What do you do when all you can see is the problem in front of you? In 2 Kings 6, Elisha's servant wakes up to discover an enemy army surrounding the city.

    Life of Elisha || Part 4: Elisha heals Naaman || Pastor Steve Garcia

    Naaman had almost everything. He was powerful, respected, wealthy, and commander of a great army. But there was one problem none of his success could solve: he had leprosy. When an unlikely servant girl points him toward Elisha, Naaman begins a journey that will lead to much more than physical healing. But first, he has to overcome something else that is destroying him from the inside: Pride. In Part 4 of The Life of Elisha, Pastor Steve Garcia walks us through the remarkable story of Naaman in 2 Kings 5. Naaman almost walked away from the very thing he desperately needed because God's answer didn't come on his terms. But when he humbled himself, changed direction, and obeyed, his life was transformed.  He came looking for a cure—and discovered the one true God. Maybe the greatest question isn't whether you have everything figured out. It's whether your heart is moving toward God. #LifeOfElisha #2Kings5 #Naaman #Elisha #BibleStudy #ChristianSermon #FaithInGod #Humility #Obedience #TrustGod #SpiritualGrowth #GodsHealing #JesusChrist #SunriseChurch #PastorSteveGarcia - NEXT STEPS  Looking to take your next step?  We want to help!

    Life of Elisha || Part 3: “I AM ENOUGH!” || Pastor Steve Garcia

    Our culture loves to tell us, “You are enough.” It sounds encouraging. But is it true? Jesus said, “Apart from me you can do nothing.”  Scripture doesn't teach us to become more self-sufficient—it teaches us to recognize our need for God. The better declaration is: I am NOT enough—but God is MORE than enough. In Part 3 of The Life of Elisha, Pastor Steve Garcia unpacks four very different situations in 2 Kings 4 that expose the limits of human strength: A widow faces overwhelming debt.  A woman encounters an inability she cannot overcome.  A group of prophets discovers poison in their food.  And a small offering of bread isn't nearly enough to feed everyone. Each situation reveals the same truth: God doesn't ask us to do what only He can do. He asks us to faithfully respond with what He's placed in our hands and trust Him with the results. And ultimately, every miracle in this chapter points us toward something even greater: Jesus did for us what we could never do for ourselves. We couldn't pay the debt of our sin, free ourselves from its slavery, overcome death, or make ourselves right with God. So God provided what we could never provide on our own. I can't save myself—but God can.  - NEXT STEPS  Looking to take your next step?  We want to help!

    Life of Elisha || Part 2: Miracle of Water in Edom || Pastor Steve Garcia

    How do you respond when life suddenly goes sideways? When the pressure rises, the answers disappear, and circumstances feel out of control, our natural response may be to worry, panic, blame, or assume there’s nothing we can do.  In this second message from a series about The Life of Elisha, Pastor Steve Garcia unpacks how Elisha shows us another way.  Three kings find themselves stranded in enemy territory without water and facing what looks like certain disaster. While they respond with fear and desperation, Elisha responds with faith—and his response gives us a practical roadmap for facing the crises in our own lives. Crisis may be unavoidable, but coming unglued doesn’t have to be. Whatever crisis you're facing, remember Elisha's words: “This is an easy thing in the eyes of the LORD.” — 2 Kings 3:18  - NEXT STEPS  Looking to take your next step?  We want to help!
