The title "Cinderella Man" refers to the real-life story of James J. Braddock, a boxer who rose from poverty to become the world heavyweight champion in the 1930s. The term is now used to describe anyone who gets a second chance and succeeds in life.

Like many other heroes of the faith, Joseph learned to see something more in suffering than sorrow and self-pity. He learned to nurture his character and as a result, elevated his life from the pit to the palace.

Join our inspiring worship service as Pastor Alan Dionson continues the third message on the Joseph series with a message entitled, "The Cinderella Man." Be prepared for an awesome in-person gathering this Sunday, February 18 at 10:30 AM (PST) and live-streamed on Facebook and YouTube.

Midweek Motivation from last Sunday's message entitled "Where Is God When Things Go Wrong?” by Pastor Alan Dionson.

People will fail you, disappoint you, and leave you hanging out to dry. Falsely accused, slandered, arrested and forgotten, Joseph kept his faith in God. Though the deliverance came after a 14-year wait, God's favor was undeniably greater than his sufferings.

How did Joseph survive this without losing his perspective of God? How did he avoid the understanding that God wasn't playing with him, raising his dreams only to make it a nightmare? How did he keep from becoming a bitter, out-of-control, madman as he faced the prospect of dying in prison in a foreign country?

This is the message you will be listening to this coming Sunday, February 11 as Pastor Alan Dionson continues with the Joseph series with a message entitled, "Where Is God When Everything Goes Wrong?"

Invite a friend and join our inspirational in-person worship service beginning at 10:30 AM (PST) live-streamed on Facebook and YouTube.

In Genesis 37, Joseph's life is good, his future looks bright, and he has a big dream. But he is about to be kicked off his feet and kicked again while he is down. And the ones doing the kicking are his own family.

But somehow, Joseph managed to avoid the very thing that had consumed his brothers—the emotional stronghold of bitterness. Somehow, Joseph faced trauma and the high jacking of his dreams without becoming bitter.

This message reminds us that we do not always have control of our outcomes, but what we have is to make decisions to be at peace with our circumstances.

This Sunday, February 4, Pastor Alan Dionson will share the first of four messages on the new series entitled, "Living Your Dreams." Join us this Sunday as we begin with the message, "When Your Dreams Get Hijacked." Rain or shine--it is a message you should not miss.

In-person service begins at 10:30 AM (PST) and is live-streamed on YouTube and Facebook.

NextGen Sunday!

Word.

Crucible is defined as a situation of severe trial, or in which different elements interact, leading to the creation of something new. The journey to Mount Moriah is a journey of the most severe trial Abraham had to face, but it was on this mountain that he was totally changed. In fact, this was a shadow of what would take place later in the life and death of Jesus.

This Sunday, January 28, Pastor Alex Delgado will conclude our January series with a message entitled "Trials and Triumph." Join our exciting service led by our NextGen leaders and invite family and friends for a life-changing message and inspiring worship.

Our in-person service begins at 10:30 AM (PST) and is live-streamed on Facebook and YouTube.

Trust.

Tadao Ando is a famous Japanese architect known for his concept called the "haiku effect." Rather than changing or covering the emptiness and brokenness, he works around the flaws and makes them a project of beauty and grandeur.

Too often, our failures in this life come because we seek a human solution to a problem that only God can fix. That is what Abraham and Sarah did. Sarah, after years without a child, looks at her servant Hagar and suggests that Abram take Hagar and have a child with her. Despite this failure, God has not forgotten Abraham and Sarah, and this painful chapter in their lives became life-changing.

Pastor Alan Dionson will continue with the story of Abraham in a message entitled, "Flawed But Not Forgotten." As we have seen God move these past two Sundays of this brand new year, we invite you again to attend our in-person worship service this Sunday, January 21, 2024, live-streamed on Facebook and YouTube.

From last Sunday's message!

Albert Camus says, “Life is a sum of all your choices.” It is estimated that everyday, we make an average of 35,000 decisions. Some decisions can be intentional that produce progress. Some are based on inspiration that gives joy and fulfillment. And others are based on intuition, a spur of the moment decision based on our senses.

As we continue in our series about Abraham, we will learn about how one decision can lead to a disaster. Pastor Alan Dionson will share an interesting message entitled, “Always, Never, Forget and Remember.” It is a comparative paradigms of how to make a decision basing from the characters of Lot and Abraham.

Our in-person service begins at 10:30 AM (PST) and is live-streamed on Facebook and YouTube.

Parents!

Our first youth service of 2024 is this Sunday, and we're starting it off with a blast. Youth Alive Missionary Eliot Bland from the SoCal Network will be joining us, and he'll be sharing a message that will encourage all of our students as they begin this new year.

We can't wait to see everyone there!

Abraham was an ordinary man with a mediocre life until God appeared to him and gave him a huge promise. It was big. I was hairy. It was audacious.

Can you imagine trusting a promise from someone you have never met? It’s hard to trust a promise, even from family! We can struggle to trust. We live in a world where promises are broken, and we sometimes wonder what people are trying to sell us. And yet, this is exactly what God wants to accomplish in our lives: to trust and follow him.

Pastor Alan Dionson kicks off the year 2024 with a message that will encourage you to have the same faith and obedience as Abraham.

Join our in-person service this Sunday, January 7, 2024, at 10:30 AM (PST) live streamed on Facebook and YouTube.

As 2023 comes to an end, many will take time to reflect on what occurred during the last 12 months. Occasions of sadness and regret will be remembered along with experiences of happiness and accomplishments. Many will desire to take lessons learned in 2023 and apply them to their actions and plans as they crossover to 2024. In the Old Testament Book of Deuteronomy, Moses is addressing the Israelites who are about to crossover into the land promised by God to their forefather Abraham. It has been over 400 years since, and the last 40 years have been spent living in difficult circumstances in the desert. Now, preparing the people for crossing-over into the promised land, Moses is reminding them of the lessons earned and how to apply them in their new circumstances.

Join our church service this Sunday, and hear about the lessons taught by God to the Israelites from which we can also benefit. Cross over from 2023 to 2024, well prepared to be more like God in our actions and attitudes toward one another and our world.
