Pastor Bruce Garner // PRAY MUCH? The privilege and potential of prayer is absolutely stunning. In fact, it is probably the most underused part of our relationship with God. Jesus knew so, and that’s why He taught us how to pray. Join us Sunday at 9:00a, 10:30a or 5:30p to hear how Jesus taught us to pray. As always, obeying Jesus will change the life of everyone who does it!

Pastor Bruce Garner // LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY It’s the ONLY thing the disciples ever asked Jesus to teach them! But almost everyone admits to struggling with prayer. This Sunday, let’s allow Jesus to teach us to pray. I’ve been very encouraged by what I’ve learned, and I hope you will be, too. Bring a friend with you to a service - 9:00a, 10:30a, or 5:30p!

Pastor Bruce Garner // THIS SUNDAY'S SERMON IS TOUGH ON ME Sunday, we return to Luke’s gospel and the sermon is a tough one. Tough on me, that is. It’s a short but explosive little story that upends a lot of my thinking and my natural inclinations. I am excited about it, though, because it’s also restorative, and can help all of us live in a way that makes our life count forever. I hope you’ll join me and bring a friend!

Pastor Bruce Garner // GOT CONTENTMENT? We live in an age designed to whip us into a frenzy of discontent. Look around. How many contented, peaceful people do you see? This Sunday we will learn what the apostle Paul called the secret of contentment. This promises to be rewarding for every Christian, and perhaps even more so for your family and friends who may not know the Lord at all. See you Sunday at 9:00a, 10:30a or 5:30p!

Pastor Matthew Burkholder // STUDENT SUNDAY This Sunday we will hear from our students and celebrate what God did for them at Hume Lake Christian Camp! You’ll be encouraged, I promise! These young believers met with God and were changed. What they share could change YOU.

Pastor Bruce Garner // CONTENTMENT AND AMBITION We live in Southern California, which is a factory of discontentedness. It’s one of the most amazing, beautiful spots on earth, but most people quietly live in it with a quiet anxiety and resentment that they are not enough and that they do not have enough. Is it good for a Christian to be ambitious? How do I learn contentment? Can those two ever coexist in a way that honors God and blesses others? These are tough biblical questions but God has provided answers.

Pastor Bruce Garner // LOVE CHANGES EVERYTHING Everyone who has loved and everyone who has been loved knows that. Sunday, I’ll share with you a story Jesus told that literally changed language and culture. Most importantly, it gives us direction for life as His disciples. If we take it to heart, it will change everything.

Pastor Jim Gane // Luke 10:1-20

Pastor Bruce Garner // Sunday, we will dive into Matthew 11 and listen to Jesus pray! He will rejoice with His Father and then invite us to… rest! Does that sound good to you?

Pastor Bruce Garner // We will listen to Jesus deal with people who had good reasons NOT to follow Him. It has been very helpful to my own relationship with the Lord, and I hope you will pray and come with an open heart to see what He says to you.

Pastor Bruce Garner // TOO MUCH INPUT? Today alone, I heard three perspectives on a single, difficult issue, read half a dozen news stories, and listened to an hour-long presentation intended to sell me something. Your day was probably the same. We can now be connected to input from the time we wake to the moment we fall asleep. How do you sort through all of it? Sunday, we will discover what three disciples of Jesus learned about that question. It wasn’t just for them!

Pastor Bruce Garner // WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM? No one asked better questions than Jesus, and this was HIs most pointed question of all. And its answer is the most important anyone will ever give. Read Luke 9:18-27 and try to put yourself in the place of the disciples. I can’t wait to explore this passage with you!

Pastor Bruce Garner // THE POINT OF PARENTING I am excited to share with you a simple truth from Scripture that will encourage ANYONE who has the privilege of being a parent or having an influential role in the life of a child.

Pastor Bruce Garner // This Sunday, we will look at a few things many Christians believe that are… just… not… TRUE. Like memes on the internet, bad biblical ideas can spread quickly and make a very big difference to your spiritual life. But the TRUTH is transformational for this life and the next. Can’t wait to tell you all about it!

Pastor Bruce Garner // The question I am asked most often is “How do I know if I should…?” People ask this question a thousand different ways, but what they really want to know is WHAT DOES GOD WANT ME TO DO? (About jobs, parents, kids, dating, marriage, etc.) Well, good news! God has NOT left us without guidance! There are very specific answers in His Word about what He wants us to do. If you really want to know, He will tell you! I hope you’ll join us Sunday (9a, 10:30a, or 5:30p) and invite someone to come with you!

Pastor Bruce Garner // WHAT IS HEAVEN LIKE? When I asked you for your tough questions about the Bible and everyday life, I never anticipated one this pleasant: What is HEAVEN like? THAT is a great question, and I can’t wait to answer it! I hope you’ll join me this weekend in a Sunday service: 9:00a, 10:30a or 5:30p. A clear view of heaven can change your life on earth!

Pastor Bruce Garner // YA JUST GOTTA BELIEVE, RIGHT? When faced with tough questions, Christians sometimes say, “You just gotta have faith.” And people who DON'T believe say that’s not nearly good enough. Is there good, reasonable EVIDENCE to believe in God? To trust Him? That’s the topic this Sunday!

Pastor Bruce Garner // Your questions have been amazing, and we will start with the only one I was asked repeatedly: How do I forgive people who hurt me? It’s a big question and your joy is at stake in the answer. An unforgiving attitude can ruin your life. Come hear the wisdom of Scripture and some of the real life experiences of people who responded to great hurt with even greater forgiveness.

Pastor John Vo

Pastor Bruce Garner // As we wrap up our “Jesus vs. Trouble” series this weekend, we will come to one of my very favorite moments in the life of Jesus. If you’ve ever wondered whether Jesus was making your life tougher than it has to be, come stand beside the disciples and watch Him work. What He taught them will help you. I know this because it has helped me.
