Hope Intelligence - Together Hopeful (Pastor Aren Rennacker)
Aren Rennacker shares the first message from our new sermon series “Hope Intelligence” entitled, “Together Hopeful.”Reaching Beyond Our WallsWhat if reaching someone for Jesus starts with trying something new?As a church, we are called to share the love of Jesus with the people around us. But sometimes we get comfortable doing things the way we have always done them. While there is nothing wrong with familiar traditions, we must also be willing to step outside our comfort zones and explore new ways to reach those who may never think about walking through a church door.Outreach and evangelism don't always have to look like traditional church programs or Bible studies. Sometimes it starts with a simple invitation, a community event, a conversation over a meal, a service project, or simply showing someone that they are loved and valued. We have to be willing to meet people where they are, build genuine relationships, and create opportunities for them to experience the love of Christ.Trying something new may feel uncomfortable, and not every idea will be a success. But we will never know what doors God can open if we aren't willing to try. Our community is changing, and the ways we connect with people may need to change as well. The message of the gospel never changes, but the ways we share it can be creative, fresh, and meaningful.My challenge to each of us is simple: Be willing to try something different. Invite someone who doesn't attend church. Get involved in a community activity. Look for opportunities to serve. Be intentional about building relationships with people outside our church family.Let's remember that our church isn't just a place for those who already know Jesus; it's also a place for those who are searching, questioning, hurting, or simply looking for somewhere to belong.Let's be a church that doesn't just wait for people to come through our doors, but one that is willing to go out and meet them where they are. Who knows? One small step of faith could make an eternal difference in someone's life.“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations...” — Matthew 28:19 (KJV)
Every Meal a Communion (Pastor Kevin Galeano) - 9/26/26
Pastor Kevin shares an uplifting message entitled, “Every Meal a Communion.” We hope you are blessed by this message.The Table of GraceThere’s something meaningful about gathering around a table.A table is a place where we slow down. We put aside the busyness of life, make room for one another, and remember that we were never meant to walk this journey alone.That is part of what makes Communion so meaningful.On Sabbath, we are already invited to pause. The world tells us to keep moving, keep producing, and keep going. But Sabbath reminds us to stop and remember who God is and who we are because of Him.And Communion invites us to pause even deeper.Jesus said, “Do this in remembrance of Me.” — Luke 22:19Before Jesus went to the cross, He gathered His disciples together. He knew what was coming, yet His focus was still on them. He washed their feet, served them, and shared the bread and the cup.There is something beautiful about that picture.Before we take Communion, we kneel at the feet of one another. In the foot washing, we are reminded that following Jesus means laying down our pride, extending forgiveness, and being willing to serve. We are reminded that none of us comes to the table because we are better than someone else.We come because we need grace.Like the waves along our Oceanside shore, life keeps moving. Seasons change, weeks pass, and sometimes we can become so caught up in everything happening around us that we forget what matters most.Communion calls us back.Back to the cross.Back to humility.Back to reconciliation.Back to Jesus.The bread reminds us of His body, given for us. The cup reminds us of His blood, poured out for us. And the entire service reminds us that our salvation is not something we earned. It is a gift of grace.So as we gather around the Communion table this Sabbath, may we slow down long enough to remember.Remember what Jesus has done.Remember the grace we have received.Remember the people sitting beside us—not as strangers, competitors, or people who have disappointed us, but as brothers and sisters for whom Christ also gave His life.And when we rise from our knees and leave the table, may we carry that spirit of humility, forgiveness, and grace with us.Because Communion is not simply about remembering what Jesus did for us.It is also a reminder of how Jesus calls us to live because of Him.“Do this in remembrance of Me.” — Luke 22:19
Reading Scripture Latinamente (Pastor Kevin Galeano)
Pastor Kevin will, share an exciting and uplifting message entitled, “Reading Scripture Latinamente.”This Hispanic Heritage Month, we're exploring what it means to live between two worlds and see our bicultural identity as a God-given strength. Join us this Sabbath as we look at Moses' story and learn to read Scripture Latinamente. Knowing where we come from is the key to discovering where God is leading us next.The Faith We Pass OnThere’s something beautiful about the way the ocean carries things from one generation to the next.The waves that reach our Oceanside shore today began their journey long before we ever saw them. In much the same way, our lives are shaped by the people, stories, traditions, and faith that came before us.As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, we are reminded of the richness found in generations of family, culture, language, music, food, and tradition. But perhaps one of the greatest things we can pass from one generation to another is our faith.Psalm 78:4 says, “We will not hide them from their children, telling the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might, and the wonders that he has done.”Faith was never meant to stop with us. For many families, faith has been woven into generations of their story. Grandparents who prayed, parents who sacrificed, and families who held on to God through difficult seasons have left something behind that cannot be measured.But heritage isn’t only about remembering where we came from. It is also about asking what we will pass on.What will the next generation learn about God because they watched us live? Will they see that prayer matters? Will they see that worship is more than a song? Will they see that our faith remains steady even when life is uncertain?The ocean reminds us that every wave leaves something on the shore. In the same way, every generation leaves something behind for the one that follows.May we be intentional about passing on more than traditions. May we pass on a living faith—a faith that knows God, trusts Him, and continues to tell the story of what He has done.And may the generations that come after us be able to look back and say, “They taught us to love God. They showed us what faith looks like. And they helped us know Jesus.”What a beautiful legacy that would be.

Right Side Up - When Good Isn't Good Enough (Pastor Mat Feeley)
Pastor Mat will continue our new sermon series, Right Side Up with an exciting and uplifting message entitled, “When Good Isn’t Good Enough.”It’s easy to think we are really good people because we go to church and practice our religion. We might be surprised to learn what God thinks. Jesus made righteousness a matter of more than just religious practices. In Matthew 5:20 he sets a high standard for righteousness. When we study the sermon on the mount we see that the true meaning righteousness is more than just religion.

Right Side Up - Redefining the Good Life (Pastor Kevin Galeano)
Pastor Kevin will continue our new sermon series Right Side Up, with the message entitled “Redefining The Good Life.” We spend our lives chasing an illusion of success built on status and security. But in the Beatitudes, Jesus flips the social pyramid upside down—announcing that true human flourishing belongs to the broken and the powerless, because the good life isn't about escaping the mess, but stepping into it with radical love.
Pastor Troy Guderyan - Super Seminar
Jesus saw in Levi what everyone else had missed—a soul worth saving. This week Pastor Troy will explore how Christ reached people through grace, compassion, and relationship without ever compromising truth. In a world quick to judge and slow to forgive, we are reminded that Christ's method of love and restoration is still the most powerful way to transform lives.
Right Side Up - Kingdom 2.0 (Pastor Mat Feeley)
In this introductory sermon for our new sermon series, we learn that Jesus didn't come to destroy the law, instead He came to fill it full of meaning. The beatitudes give added meaning to God's law and help us to understand Christianity as a heart religion. To be blessed is not to have an abundance of things but to have an abundance of grace, love, faith, peace, and truth.
Pastor Mat. May 23rd Sermon “Glowing Up.”
Do you realize that even Jesus the Son of God grew. He grew in wisdom (mind), stature (body and reputation), favor with God, and favor with man (relationships). This sermon uses that four-part framework to challenge believers who have settled into spiritual stagnation, showing that Christian growth is not automatic it is intentional, embodied, and whole-person. Disciples do not grow by accident God has placed something valuable in every believer but it requires surrender, discipline, community, and prayer to bring it out.
