“Faith in Difficult Times” - How to Walk through Grief - Marco Salazar
In this message, Pastor Marco takes us through Job 3, showing how easily we try to avoid pain, pretend we are fine, or fear that grief is a sign of weak faith. But the truth is, we cannot heal from the hurt we refuse to acknowledge. Through the honesty of Job and the compassion of Jesus, we discover that the goal isn't to avoid grief, but to bring our raw pain, questions, and sorrow into the presence of God and let others walk beside us.
The Church and AI - Marco Salazar
In this message, Pastor Marco explores the impact of AI on the church and reminds us that technology can never replace authentic Christian community, the wisdom of God's Word and Spirit, or the relationships that shape us to become more like Jesus. As our world becomes increasingly digital, we must prioritize what God designed to help us grow: human connection.
“In the Beginning” – Pt. 10 The Tower of Babel - Marco Salazar
In this message, Pastor Marco takes us through Genesis 11 and the Tower of Babel, showing how we can try to find significance through what we accomplish, making a name for ourselves, and controlling our own future.

From Abraham to Pentecost and ultimately to Jesus, God comes down to rescue us and give us the significance, identity, and new life we could never find on our own.
“In the Beginning” – Pt. 8 Escaping the Storm of God’s Judgement - Marco Salazar
In this message, Pastor Marco takes us through Genesis 6–7, where humanity’s depravity has reached its height and God brings judgment upon the earth. But God shows favor to Noah and his family and provides a way of escape through the ark. In the same way, God has provided a way of salvation from the coming judgment through Jesus. Our response is to trust Him and obey His Word, just as Noah “did all that God had commanded.”
VISION SUNDAY - Marco Salazar

“In the Beginning” – Pt. 7 Ordinary Faithfulness. - Marco Salazar
In this message, Pastor Marco takes us to Genesis 5 and the life of Enoch, a man remembered not for his accomplishments or fame, but because he walked faithfully with God.

“In the Beginning” – Pt. 6 The Domino Effect - Marco Salazar
In this message, Pastor Marco examines Genesis 4 and the progression of sin through Cain and Lamech. Sin takes hold of our hearts, breaks our relationships, and shapes generations, but through Jesus, sin no longer has to be our master. Because of Christ’s death and resurrection, we can experience freedom from sin and the transforming power of God’s grace in our lives.
“When God is Your Father” – Pt. 4 Living as Sons & Daughters - Marco Salazar
In this message, Pastor Marco teaches how living as sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father changes everything. As God's children, we can boldly ask Him for our needs, trust Him even when we're afraid, and increasingly reflect His character in our everyday lives. Instead of living like orphans striving to earn our place, we can live with the confidence, security, and joy of sons and daughters who know they belong.
“When God is Your Father” – Pt. 3 The Father Who Calls You His Own - Marco Salazar
In this message, guest speaker Pastor Edgar shares how no matter how far you've wandered, the Father runs toward those who turn toward Him. Looking at the story of the Prodigal Son, we see that God gives us freedom but waits fervently for our return with a love greater than our deepest shame. Ultimately, the Father doesn't just forgive—He fully restores what sin tried to destroy, extending His relentless grace to the broken and the self-righteous alike.
“When God is Your Father” – Pt. 1 The Father You’ve Been Looking For - Marco Salazar
In this message, Pastor Marco shares how Jesus is the perfect revelation of the Father. If we want to know God, we can see His character fully revealed in Jesus. We don’t have to look at our imperfect earthly fathers to understand what God is like. Instead, we can look to Jesus for the approval, acceptance, belonging, and security we all long for.
“For Future Generations 2.0” – Pt. 4 Living Counter Culture- Marco Salazar
In this message, Pastor Marco talks about how we are becoming a church who is living counter culture.

Followers of Jesus are called to resist the pressure of the world and live distinctly transformed lives for the glory of God — no matter the cost.
“For Future Generations 2.0” – Pt. 3 Obedient to His Word - Marco Salazar

“For Future Generations 2.0” – Pt. 2 Filled with His Spirit - Marco Salazar
