    For the One || Part 3: For The Neighborhood || Pastor Steve Garcia

    What if the person God wants to help is already standing right in front of you? It's easy to care about people in theory. It's much harder when loving someone interrupts our plans, stretches our resources, or asks us to get involved.  In Mark 6, Jesus and His disciples encounter thousands of people in need—and their very different responses reveal something about our own hearts. In Part 3 of For the One, Pastor Steve Garcia challenges us to confront three common excuses that limit our love for others. While the disciples saw an inconvenience, Jesus saw people who needed compassion. And instead of allowing His disciples to send the problem away, Jesus invited them to become part of the solution. This message reminds us that God doesn't need us to have unlimited time, resources, or ability. He simply asks us to place what we already have in His hands and allow Him to use it. Maybe instead of asking, "Who's going to do something about this?" we need to begin asking: "What if I am the someone God just sent?"

    For the One || Part 2: For The Next Generation || Pastor Steve Garcia

    Who invested in your faith? Every one of us can probably point to someone who encouraged us, challenged us, prayed for us, or helped us take our next step with Jesus. The question is: Who are you investing in? In Part 2 of our series, For the One, Pastor Steve Garcia shows us that Jesus didn't see the next generation as a problem to solve—He saw them as people worth investing in. While many picture Jesus' disciples as older, seasoned men, Scripture paints a different picture. Jesus intentionally called and developed young men, equipping them to carry the gospel to the world. From an unexpected conversation about the Temple tax in Matthew 17, we discover God's heart for generational discipleship and the incredible responsibility each believer has to pass on their faith. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, mentor, teacher, coach, small group leader, or simply someone who loves Jesus, this message will challenge you to invest in the generation coming behind you.

    For The One || Part 1: For the Broken || Pastor Steve Garcia

    Have you ever felt stuck? Maybe you've spent years battling the same addiction, carrying the same hurt, wrestling with the same regret, or believing you'll never truly change. You aren't alone—and more importantly, you aren't beyond the reach of Jesus. In the opening message of our new series, For the One, Pastor Steve Garcia takes us to John 5, where Jesus meets a man who had been unable to walk for 38 years. While everyone else saw another hopeless case, Jesus saw someone worth pursuing. His question still echoes today: "Do you want to get well?" (John 5:6) This message reminds us that lasting freedom isn't found in better circumstances, stronger willpower, or temporary solutions. It's found in Jesus Christ, who still seeks out the broken, offers real hope, and invites us into a completely new life. Whether you're carrying pain, struggling with addiction, battling shame, or simply feeling spiritually exhausted, this message is an invitation to stop looking for healing in empty places and begin walking with the One who can truly make you whole.

    If Jesus returned today, what would He find in your life? In the final week of our Parables series, Pastor Robert Klein explores the Parable of the Faithful and Wicked Servant.
