    Do Not Be Conformed | Romans 12:1–2 | Pastor Juan Espino

    Do Not Be Conformed | Romans 12:1–2 | Pastor Juan Espino Following Christ is more than believing in Him—it is a decision to leave the old life behind and allow God to transform the way we think and live. In this message, “Do Not Be Conformed,” Pastor Juan Espino challenges us with the words of Joshua: “Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve.” We can allow the traditions of our past to shape us, conform to the culture around us, or make the deliberate decision to say, “As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Romans 12 calls us not to conform to the pattern of this world, but to be transformed through the renewing of our minds. This transformation requires surrender—offering ourselves to God as a living sacrifice and allowing the Holy Spirit and the Word of God to change us from the inside out. The Christian life is not simply about leaving something behind. It is about putting on the new life Christ has given us.In Christ, the old has gone and the new has come. And as we walk in this new life, we begin to discover for ourselves that God's will truly is good, pleasing, and perfect.What initially feels like sacrifice becomes an opportunity to experience the goodness of God. As Psalm 34:8 declares: “Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.” 🎙️ Join Pastor Juan Espino for this message and be challenged to make the decision: Do not be conformed. Be transformed. Offer your life to God, walk in the new life He has given you, and discover that His ways are truly good.

    Shortcuts | Isaiah 8–9 |

    Shortcuts | Isaiah 8–9 | Pastor Maritza Rubiano We live in a world that wants everything quickly. Quick answers, quick solutions, and quick relief from pain. But what happens when the shortcuts we choose take us further away from God? In this powerful message, “Shortcuts,” Pastor Maritza Rubiano takes us through Isaiah 8 and 9 and the story of the people of Judah. Faced with fear and uncertainty, their king rejected God’s protection and chose what seemed like a faster, more visible solution. But that shortcut ultimately led the people into greater fear, confusion, weariness, and spiritual darkness. We can make the same mistake today. When life becomes difficult, we may look for something—or someone—to numb our pain, satisfy our desires, or give us an immediate answer. Yet human shortcuts can never satisfy the deepest needs of our hearts. But darkness does not have the final word. Isaiah declares: “The people who walk in darkness will see a great light.” God’s answer was not another shortcut. God’s answer was Jesus. When you are lost and confused, He is your Wonderful Counselor. When the battle seems too great, He is your Mighty God. When you feel abandoned and alone, He is your Everlasting Father. When your heart is overwhelmed by anxiety, guilt, or chaos, He is your Prince of Peace. God never answered the darkness of this world with a shortcut. He answered it by sending His Son. 🎙️ Join Pastor Maritza Rubiano for this challenging and hope-filled message and discover why, when everything else fails, Jesus Christ is enough. He is our fullness, our hope, and our answer.
