We are in a spiritual battle and the Bible gives us insight into how our enemy attacks us. Satan, our enemy, is the father of lies and master deceiver who wants to do everything he can in order to make us question God and his word!

Travel Light- Letting Go Of Your Past
Connect Series- Week 1- Connecting Daily!
We started a brand new sermon series called "Connect". The more a believer connects with Jesus, on a daily basis, the more powerful that believer will live and the bigger impact they will have on those around them.

Jesus is... (part 2)
In times of loss, grief, and pain we tend to think, “Why did God let this happen? I thought God loved me! Does even care about me?”. It is easy to hear the lies that Satan tells us about Jesus when we are hurting but in Luke 7:11-17 we see that Jesus really does have compassion on those who experience pain and loss.
Follow along as pastor Donnie De La Cruz leads us to see that Jesus is Lord of compassion.
Jesus is...(part 1)
In our new sermon series we will be looking at Jesus and who he really is! This week pastor Donnie leads us through Luke 7:1-10 the real story of the Roman Centurion who was an unlikely person to have faith in Jesus but who’s faith literally amazed Jesus. Would your faith amaze Jesus? What is stopping your faith from being lived out?
Bad Trees, Good Savior (Luke 6:43-49)
When it comes to living the “Christian life”, how do we know if we are on the right track? How can we tell if Jesus has really changed us or someone else? Jesus gives us a great example by telling us to look at the fruit that is being produced by that person.
Follow along as pastor Donnie challenges us to figure out what is in our heart, what we are rooted in, and what kind of life are living?
The Right Way To Judge! (Luke 6:37-42)
No matter if you grew up in the church or not, our culture has the phrase “only God can judge me” deeply rooted in our minds. There is this belief that tells us that we are to never judge others because “the Bible says not too”.
Jesus tells us something a little different and gives a few steps to take so that Christians can follow God’s command when it comes to judging others. Follow along as pastor Donnie leads us through this difficult passage on judgment.
That Hard Type Of Love (Luke 6:27-36
In today’s culture, the word love almost has no value or weight to it. We say we love food, our spouses, and sports teams all the time. Our culture also tells us that we are to only love certain people and only extend so much love before we cut off our love and then we extend hate.
Follow along as pastor Donnie leads us through how Jesus commands us to love in a way that might seem hard but leads to blessing!
Blessed or Cursed? (Luke 6:20-26)
When Jesus speaks, you listen. But what happens when Jesus says something that seems to be backwards? What did Jesus really mean when he said things like “blessed are the poor” and “cursed are the rich”? The kingdom of God works a little different than the world does and we praise God for that!
Follow along as pastor Donnie leads us to figure out where we fall according to life. Are you blessed? Are you cursed?
Purpose! Part 2 (Luke 4:31-6:19)
Everyone will agree that its one thing for someone to say they are going to do something, and another thing for someone to actually do it. Jesus said he came here with a purpose but did he actually do what he said he was going to do? If he did follow through, what does that mean for us?
Follow along as pastor Donnie walks us through multiple passages where Jesus and his actions will challenge our faith and move us into action!
Purpose! (Luke 4:16-30)
What was Jesus purpose while here on earth? If Jesus walked on earth in 2018, what would his mission be? What is our mission as Christians?
Many people have different answers to this question but Jesus knew exactly what his mission was and calls Christians to live with the same mission today. Follow along as pastor Donnie continues to walk us through the book of Luke.
Dr. Don McEntire: The Kind Of Fruit You Want To Bear (John 15:1-5)
How can you be a successful, fruit bearing Christian? What type of "fruit” does God want Christians to bear? Follow along as Dr. Don McEntire walks through what Jesus says we need to do to be successful Christians.
Is God Pleased With You? (Luke 3:15-38)
Have you ever wanted to really please someone? Maybe one of your parents, a friend, your boss? Have you wondered what it took to please God? There is only one person that can truly please God and that is his son Jesus Christ!
Follow along as pastor Donnie De La Cruz shows us in scripture that if we want to please God we need to be fully attached to his son Jesus Christ.
Check Your Heart! (Luke 3:1-15)
John the Baptist came preaching one message, "a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins". John the Baptist stood and called the culture of his time to do a major heart check before coming to God for baptism. He wanted the culture to know that they truly need to repent and not just turn to religion or look toward their ethnicity for the forgiveness of their sins. And we, today, need to do the same heart check! Follow along as pastor Donnie De La Cruz challenges us to truly repent and turn toward Jesus.
Who Do You Think You Are? (Luke 2:39-52)
Who are you? There are so many people, at every stage of life, that struggle with answering that question. We find a 12-year-old Jesus who knew exactly who he was and what his purpose is on earth. He was to be about his Father's business because He is the Son of God!
If It's True, Then You Have To Respond (Luke 2:21-38)
Many people who encounter Jesus have been so drastically changed that their entire life is a testimony of Jesus and his glory. We read about 2 people who have been holding on to God's promise of a coming comfort and savior, and when they both meet baby Jesus, they know that God answered his promise!
Pastor Donnie De La Cruz says," if the story of Jesus is true, that he is God's son sent to be the savior of the world, then you have no other choice but to surrender to him! He is the King, He is God!"
Humility Before Glory: (Luke 2:1-20)
Jesus' birth is a miraculous story that should be told throughout the year and not just on Christmas! Jesus is the highest of Glory and power and honor! If you have experienced Jesus birth then you should respond to it by sharing it. Follow along as pastor Donnie De La Cruz challenges us to remember that humility comes before glory in the kingdom of God.
