Title: A Godly Father

Speaker: Sal Gonzales

Date: June 21, 2026

Bible: Job 1:1-5

The sermon centers on the vital role of godly parents, particularly fathers, in nurturing the spiritual lives of their children and the next generation, using Job's consistent intercessory prayers as a model. It emphasizes that authentic faith is demonstrated not through words alone but through actions, such as setting spiritual boundaries, maintaining consistent prayer, and leading with integrity. The message underscores that true parental concern extends beyond physical well-being to the heart's condition, recognizing that sin often begins inwardly and that spiritual diligence requires ongoing, faithful effort. Drawing from Scripture, especially Romans 8, it highlights the believer's identity as a child of God, adopted into His family with full inheritance rights, and calls all believers—parents, grandparents, and individuals—to live with purpose, consistency, and urgency in passing on the faith. Ultimately, the sermon calls for personal repentance and faith in Christ, inviting all to embrace salvation and the eternal hope of being united with God's family.

Title: The Bread of Life

Speaker: Sal Gonzales

Series: I Am

Date: June 14, 2026

Bible: John 6:22-32

The sermon centers on Jesus' declaration in John 6:35, 'I am the bread of life,' emphasizing that true fulfillment comes not from physical sustenance or earthly achievements, but from a deep, ongoing spiritual hunger satisfied only by faith in Christ. It confronts the crowd’s initial motivation—seeking Jesus for the miracle of the loaves and fishes, driven by physical need—highlighting how their focus on temporal provision reveals a deeper spiritual complacency. The preacher warns against the danger of spiritual apathy, illustrated by the lukewarm church in Laodicea, which trusted in its material prosperity rather than its need for continual dependence on God. To combat this, the message calls for a renewed craving for God’s Word and for Christ Himself, urging believers to pursue spiritual growth with a 'positive discontentment' that rejects self-satisfaction. Ultimately, the sermon affirms that salvation and sanctification are found not in religious works or rituals, but in a living, daily faith in Jesus, the true bread from heaven who gives eternal life.

Title: Have You Seen Jesus?

Speaker: Sal Gonzales

Date: June 7, 2026

Bible: Luke 2:41-52

The sermon, drawn from Luke 2:41–52, centers on the profound spiritual lesson of losing and finding Jesus, using the story of Mary and Joseph’s search for their 12-year-old son as a metaphor for the Christian life. It warns against the danger of assuming God’s presence in our lives simply because we perform religious duties, emphasizing that true faith requires intentional seeking, not mere routine. The message highlights three key truths: first, that God is found in the sanctuary and in fellowship with other believers; second, that He is encountered through active service and obedience; and third, that genuine discipleship demands total submission to God’s will, mirroring Jesus’ own humility and surrender. The preacher calls the congregation to examine whether they have unintentionally placed Jesus on the outside of their lives, urging them to seek Him with urgency, find Him in worship and service, and submit fully to His authority, knowing that only in Him is true joy, safety, and purpose found.
