2022 Stand Alone
In Deep
November 20, 2022 • Lorenzo Elizondo • Psalm 130
In this stand alone sermon we take a look at Psalm 130, and are encouraged that the Lord always hears our cry. As the Psalmist says, we will wait upon God, his unfailing love, and his redemption. Let us be mindful of this wonderful truth this Thanksgiving.
Jesus Seen Through Us
October 16, 2022 • Richard Cantu • 1 Peter 1:13–25
Christians are saved for a life of holiness. If we proclaim to Love Jesus, then we must give others what he gave us: grace, love, peace and forgiveness. We must always ask ourselves, do other people see God's character through me?
The Neighborhood of God
September 11, 2022 • Nathan Elizondo • Luke 10:15–37
The Good Samaritan is perhaps the most famous parable that Jesus shared. However, it is often made too simplistic or overly complicated. From this passage, we learn that every human alive is in the neighborhood of God, and therefore, we ought to care for everyone as our neighbor.
Rejoice in Our Suffering
August 14, 2022 • Lorenzo Elizondo • Philippians 3:1–11
Paul encourages the church in Philippi to hold fast to the gospel and persevere through suffering. In the same way, we are to be confident in Christ alone, not ourselves. By doing this, we are empowered to seek out false teaching and protect the church.
A Heart for God and Vision for the World
August 7, 2022 • Lorenzo Elizondo • Luke 24:45–53
We are saved to not only know God, but to obey him. Just before ascending into heaven, Jesus gave his disciples clear instructions and commands for what it means to follow him. As his people, we ought to find joy in obeying his commands, not refusal or reluctance.
The Temple Tax
February 27, 2022 • Nathan Elizondo • Matthew 17:24–27
In this sermon, we look an often overlooked event between Jesus and Peter. Although a bit odd on the surface, Jesus’ payment of Peter’s temple tax is a beautiful foreshadow of what would occur just a few chapters later in the crucifixion.
Do Not Lose Heart
February 20, 2022 • Lorenzo Elizondo • 2 Corinthians 4:1–9
The gospel is the power to save and persevere. We are reminded by Paul to press on, endure, and continue to carry out the gospel in every corner of our life. Though we face hardship, the Lord is good and promises to give us strength in every circumstances.
