    Come After Me (Part 2)

    Come After Me: Discipleship as Walking With Jesus Ps. Ryan continues lesson two of the “Come After Me” series using Mark 1:16–20, where Simon, Andrew, James, and John immediately leave everything to follow Jesus. He explains discipleship as a shared life and journey with God (mithalek), emphasizing presence over a minimum-requirements, end-focused religion, and describing God’s “ayeka” (Gen. 3) as an invitation to return, not an accusation. He teaches that following Jesus means direction back to the Father, not instant perfection, illustrated by Enoch’s long walk with God and the prodigal son’s return. He presents Jesus as a rabbi with authority (semikhah) whom disciples follow closely, pointing others to Him, valuing church fellowship (1 John 1:6–7), and leaving conditions behind to follow now. ==== Join us for our Sunday services at 10 AM and 4 PM. You'll experience uplifting worship, practical and biblical teaching, and a welcoming community. Come as you are and be a part of something bigger than yourself. We can't wait to worship with you!  When we give to the church, we honor God and support its ministry. Giving a tenth of our income, or tithing, is a biblical principle that helps those in need and furthers God's work.

    Come After Me (Part 1)

    Come After Me: Discipleship as Walking With God Launching the discipleship series “Come After Me,” Ps. Ryan reads Mark 1:16–20, where Jesus calls Simon, Andrew, James, and John to “Follow me,” and they immediately leave everything to follow Him. He explains that discipleship is fundamentally a daily walk with God, not legalism or doing the bare minimum, and not chasing rewards or perfection. Using Genesis 3, he highlights God’s question “Ayeka” (“Where are you?”) as an invitation back into presence, covering, and restored fellowship, emphasizing God’s initiative and grace. He contrasts a destination-focused Christianity with the journey of “mit’elech,” a collaborative walk with God marked by presence. He concludes that God prioritizes walking with Him—patiently shaping lives—more than achievement, performance, or external change. ==== Join us for our Sunday services at 10 AM and 4 PM.

    They Have Been with Jesus (Ps. Imee Francisco)

    Ps. Imee reflects on the church being marked by God’s presence and centers the message on Acts 4:13, where the Sanhedrin marvel at Peter and John’s boldness and recognize they “have been with Jesus.” He retells the context after Pentecost: Peter and John, committed to prayer, heal the lame man at the Beautiful Gate, sparking public commotion and leading to their arrest and interrogation by the intimidating religious council. Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, boldly proclaims Jesus’ name, resurrection, and salvation alone in Him. The sermon argues that true proximity to Christ produces visible transformation, with boldness as Spirit-empowered overflow rooted in obedience and holiness, not personality or performance; surrendered weakness becomes God’s platform to reveal Christ in one’s life everywhere. ==== Join us for our Sunday services at 10 AM and 4 PM.

    Flee and Pursue

    Escaping Lust and Chasing God Together Using 2 Timothy 2:22 (NKJV), Ps. Ryan teaches three commands: flee youthful lusts, pursue righteousness/faith/love/peace, and pursue “with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.” Lust is described as reckless and destructive. Ps. Ryan says the battle is often lost in close-range “wrestling,” so the practical strategy is to exit tempting spaces quickly (like Joseph) rather than linger (like Samson). However, fleeing alone is not enough; an “empty house” can be reoccupied (Matthew 12:44–45), so desires must be replaced by filling the heart with God through the Word, worship, and devotion. Finally, believers must pursue God in community; the church is one united body (“echad”) that sharpens and supports each other toward God’s presence and lasting victory. ==== Join us for our Sunday services at 10 AM and 4 PM.

    Mercy Triumphs Over Judgment (Ps. Sandro Silverio)

    In this sermon by Ps. Sandro, he reads on Jonah 1–4. He explains how the story is often reduced to the fish, but is really about Jonah’s pride, disobedience, and anger that God would show mercy to Nineveh, Israel’s brutal enemies. He highlights God’s persistence in calling Jonah a second time (Jonah 3:1–2), Nineveh’s repentance, and Jonah’s complaint that God is “gracious and merciful…slow to anger” (Jonah 4:1–2). Through the plant, worm, and wind, God confronts Jonah’s misplaced compassion and asks why He shouldn’t pity Nineveh. Ps. Sandro applies this as an invitation to forgive enemies, sharing his own story of betrayal and choosing mercy. ==== Join us for our Sunday services at 10 AM and 4 PM.

    I Wanna Tithe (Part 3)

    I Wanna Tithe (Part 3): First Things, Conviction, and Trust In “I Wanna Tithe” lesson 3, Pastor Ryan teaches on finances and tithing, emphasizing that under the new covenant believers give from conviction, not fear of curses (contrasting Malachi 3:6–10 and the Levitical “tax” model with Christ’s priesthood after His death). Using Matthew 10:37–39, he stresses loving God first and calls the church to preach with urgency because eternity is at stake. He explains the “first things” principle through the Jewish Bikkurim/firstfruits ceremony (Deuteronomy 26:5–11; Exodus 13:2; 23:19), arguing the first sanctifies the rest and giving happens at “maximum uncertainty,” producing joy. He warns against prosperity manipulation, cites 1 Corinthians 9:13–14 and 16:2 on supporting ministry and setting aside giving weekly, and concludes that God owns everything (Psalm 24:1), so tithing is honest worship and stewardship. ==== Join us for our Sunday services at 10 AM and 4 PM.

    I Wanna Tithe (Part 2)

    In “I Wanna Tithe, Lesson Two,” Pastor Ryan teaches that tithing should be motivated by worship and honor rather than coercion, fear of curses, or a prosperity “pay God and get money back” mindset. Using Matthew 23:23, he argues Jesus did not cancel the tithe but rebuked hypocritical motives, affirming believers should practice “justice, mercy, and faithfulness” without neglecting the tithe. He distinguishes Abraham’s voluntary tithe to Melchizedek from the compulsory Levitical “tax” model, explains that the New Testament began after Christ’s death, and connects tithing to Jesus’ Melchizedekian priesthood (Hebrews 7) given through the church as Christ’s body. He also discusses explicit New Testament abrogations (e.g., sacrifices, dietary laws, circumcision, Sabbaths) to argue tithing was not abrogated, and closes with the manna “daily bread” theme as trusting God’s ongoing presence and provision. ==== Join us for our Sunday services at 10 AM and 4 PM.

    I Wanna Tithe (Part 1)

    Tithing in the New Covenant: From Compulsion to Partnership Pastor Ryan introduces a three-part teaching on the controversial topic of tithing, stressing there is no coercion and his goal is for people to say “I want to tithe,” not “I should tithe.” Using Hebrews 7:4–5 and Abraham’s tithe to Melchizedek, he argues New Covenant giving is not a compulsory Levitical tax or driven by Malachi-based fear, but a voluntary act of worship, surrender, and partnership in God’s Kingdom. He acknowledges historic church abuses, addresses common reasons people don’t tithe (compulsion, lack of trust, lack of teaching, consumerism, disappointment with God, privatized faith, and poverty), and clarifies The Way’s finances and leadership integrity. He warns against manipulating God for financial return, teaches that God has already provided in Christ, and shares testimonies—including hardship after giving more—emphasizing God owes nothing, but believers owe Him everything. ——— Join us for our Sunday services at 10 AM and 4 PM.
