  • WELLS RUN DRY - Stop chasing empty wells!
    Sep 9 2025

    Recorded Live: August 31, 2025

    In John 4, Jesus meets the Samaritan woman at the well and reveals a life-changing truth: the water from this world will always leave us thirsty, but the living water He gives leads to eternal life. The woman came to the well searching for a temporary resource, but she encountered the eternal Source—Jesus, the Messiah.

    This message reminds us that resources are seasonal, but God is eternal. We often work tirelessly trying to fill the empty places in our lives with relationships, achievements, or possessions, only to end up thirsty again. Jesus calls us to stop striving and start trusting. When we look to Him as our Source, our lives overflow with His provision, peace, and purpose.

    Scriptures like 1 Corinthians 8:6, Philippians 4:19, and Psalm 121:2 assure us that our help, supply, and future don’t come from the well we draw from—they come from the God who never runs dry.

    The takeaway: Stop chasing empty wells. Start trusting the Source.

  • LIVING HOPE (Speakers: Pastor Chris Reynozo & Aaron Gomez)
    Sep 9 2025

    Recorded Live: August 24, 2025

    In this message, Living Hope Pastor Chris Reynozo and Aaron Gomez delve into how God sustains us in hopeless seasons and restores our lives through His power.

    Part 1 – Pastor Chris Reynozo
    Examining Elijah in 1 Kings 19, Pastor Chris illustrates how even great men of faith can succumb to despair. Elijah runs for his life, overwhelmed and hopeless, yet God meets him in the wilderness with food and strength to endure. The message is clear: God doesn’t always remove our struggles, but He always provides what we need to persevere. Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us that hope is an anchor—a rope that ties us to God’s promises and pulls us forward into His future.

    Part 2 – Aaron Gomez
    Aaron walks us through John 5 and the story of the man at the Pool of Bethesda. For 38 years, this man waited for healing, yet one encounter with Jesus changed everything. Jesus asks, “Do you want to be made well?” and with just a word, He restores the man’s life. This story reminds us that living hope is not found in traditions, systems, or waiting for the “right moment”—it’s found in Jesus, who meets us in our brokenness and calls us to rise.

    Together, these messages remind us that hope is not the absence of struggle, but the presence of God in the midst of it. With Him, our hopeless situations can become testimonies of strength, healing, and purpose.

  • MATURING LOVE | How did Jesus show His love?
    Aug 20 2025

    Recorded Live: August 17, 20205

    Living Out Obedience, Sacrifice, and Compassion may be difficult, but this is how real love should look.

    How did Jesus show His love?

    Through healing the sick, feeding the hungry, weeping with the broken, forgiving sinners, washing His disciples’ feet, and ultimately laying down His life on the cross (John 13:1, John 19:30). In this episode, we look at the radical ways Jesus demonstrated love in action — not just words.

    Scripture reminds us that obedience is the evidence of love (1 John 2:4-5, John 14:15). Every act of obedience shows that God’s love is being perfected in us. Just as Jesus lived out the Word, we too are called to live in alignment with God’s Word — a Word that is alive, active, and powerful (Hebrews 4:12, Psalm 107:20-22).

    At the center of it all is this truth: God’s Word will always lead you back home. From the beginning (John 1:1-5) until now, the Word has been life and light for humanity, and nothing can overcome it.

    If you’ve ever wondered what true love looks like, this message will guide you to the heart of Jesus — love lived out through compassion, sacrifice, and obedience.
