Mark Twain famously wrote, "The two most important days in your life are the day you were born, and the day you find out why." Much like GPS technology which triangulates where we are and where we are going, a spiritual GPS (Gifts, Passions, Story) can help us know who we are and what is in store with God's unique plans for us. In this message, we begin the first part of a series exploring personal calling through the Big Idea: I will discover my Masterpiece Mission when I tune in the signals of my Gifts, my Passions, and my Story.

Welcome to our Media City At Home service! We are so glad you joined us this morning!

Undoubtedly, one of the greatest Pro Wrestlers of all time is "Stone Cold" Steve Austin who famously declares, "And that's the bottom line, cuz Stone Cold said so!" For Christians, this can be a familiar aggressive approach when it comes to why there is belief in Jesus: "Cuz the Bible said so!" In this message, we explore the reassuring idea that the event of the resurrection of Jesus was the foundation of Christianity, rather than the Bible which was compiled years later.

In this message, we welcome Sheila Donegan (Leader of Mercy Street LA) as she shares about her ministry contribution through Mercy Street LA in Highland Park and encourages us through an inner "journey of forgiveness" with the contemplative practices of silence and solitude that drown out voices contrary to God.

In this message, we welcome Arman Davtyan (Pastor of Unique Life Church) as he shares from his personal journey of ministry from Armenia to the United States and encourages us from Psalm 18.

We, as humans, often walk through moments of failure, of discouragement, and of disappointment. These moments can leave us questioning who we are and if we are truly loved in the midst of disappointment and failure. However, we have a God who chose us before we ever performed, before we ever achieved, and before there was any success. In this message, Pastor Kalli, discusses how the life of Mephibosheth and a wayward son offer us hope that we too are accepted and welcomed in, even in the midst of our shortcomings.

As a church family, we commit to not only pray for people but be a tangible answer to people's prayers. St. Basil The Great once said, "If you want storehouses [for your wealth], you have them in the stomachs of the poor." In this message, we unpack the continued context of 1 Timothy 6 to discover an invitational vision for spiritual warfare that prioritizes the triumph over evil through good works and deeds.
