Faith Over Feelings: Trusting God in Emotional Storms

Image
  This Bible Session explains that many people have times when their feelings are not stable, and in those moments fear can feel loud, hope can feel far away, and peace can seem gone. It also says that some of the hardest seasons are not only when emotions are strong, but when a person feels almost nothing, like emotional dryness or numbness. The lesson uses this to show an important truth: feelings can change, but God’s character does not change. It teaches that people do not need to wait until they “feel strong” before trusting God, because faith means choosing to trust God even when emotions say the opposite. The Bible Session also explains that trusting God more than feelings is not fake or weak. It says faith is not pretending that everything is fine, but standing on God’s unchanging nature during emotional storms. It reminds people that some battles happen inside the heart and mind, and it is okay to refuse to let feelings control every decision. In this way, the message is v...

🌞 Audio🔊 & Notes 📝 Does Your Life Reflect God?

Image
Key Points - (more detailed notes after this section) Pastor Jose shared a personal story about posting a 1983 childhood photo of himself in a three-piece suit while working the night shift, which received a comment saying "the making of a pastor" that provided spiritual confirmation. Despite growing up in a toxic family environment with molestation, drugs, alcohol, witchcraft, and various forms of abuse, Pastor Jose emphasized that God had chosen him to break generational curses and barriers. The Apostle Paul's letter to the Corinthian church addressed a congregation plagued with division, gossip, slander, and sexual immorality, yet God still maintained His plan and calling for those people. During a recent doctor's visit, Pastor Jose was advised to get lung screening tests even though he quit smoking 20 years ago, which he used as an analogy for needing spiritual screening to address unconfessed past sins. Pastor Jose criticized current entertainment culture, ...

Glorifying God in Daily Life, Rejecting Cultural Compromise, Embracing Accountability, and Testing Every Spirit

Image
Key Points - More Details After This Section Sexual immorality from the surrounding culture was creeping into the Corinthian church due to the city's temple dedicated to Venus where prostitution was considered a legitimate profession. Growing in godliness requires believers to follow three essential elements: biblical instructions, spiritual laws, and daily devotions with God. Believers should not take correction from brothers and sisters as personal attacks but rather as loving accountability since verse 24 teaches that no one should seek their own good but the good of others. Many believers today are delusional and justify ungodly habits by claiming God uses them in certain ways, when Scripture does not support such behaviors. Jesus demonstrated three key characteristics that modern believers should emulate: being approachable without security guards, never asking for money for healing or breakthrough, and maintaining humility. Testing every spirit is essential because fals...

NOTES & AUDIO 🔵 When Pressure Reveals the Real You - Don’t Lose Yourself in the Moment - Sunday Service on February 16, 2026 w/Pastor Jose

Image
 There are many detailed sections below beyond the first "key points".   Read through all. Key Points - More Detailed Sections Follow This One. Scripture reading from 1 Corinthians chapter 10, verses 23-32 served as the foundation for the message about doing all things to the glory of God while being mindful of others' consciences. Delusional behavior was defined as a psychological condition where individuals act correctly in front of people but become triggered and lose sight of their values, acting bizarrely in certain moments. Manifestations of this delusional condition include outbursts, fits of rage, lack of self-control, and mood disorders that prevent spiritual growth and maturity. Basketball analogy using John Stockton and Reggie Miller illustrated how easily people can be provoked out of character, comparing this to Christians who lose composure when faced with challenges. Personal workplace experiences were shared where the pastor chose not to respond to p...

From Distraction to Devotion: Finding Peace, Purpose, and God’s Voice

Image
  1) Opening: The Reality of Modern Distraction Use relatable humor to expose a spiritual truth: “God, give me a sign” → phone battery warning. Trying to listen to God, but notifications, coupons, and random interruptions take over. Transition statement: We are connected to everything, but often disconnected from God. Main tension: We want God’s direction, but our attention is divided. 2) Core Problem: Distraction Is a Spiritual Issue Distraction is not just inconvenience; it is formation. What distraction steals: Peace (inner calm and trust) Purpose (clarity of calling and obedience) Sensitivity to God’s voice (discernment and direction) Cultural reality: Busyness is celebrated. Stillness feels unproductive. Noise becomes normal. 3) Common Sources of Distraction Digital pull : phone alerts, scrolling, constant stimulation. Financial worry : fear about money and security. Comparison : measuring your life against others. Offense and emotional reactivity : carrying hurt too long. ...

Obedience, Faithfulness, and Gratitude Unlock Divine Promises - Sunday Service Notes — February 8, 2026

Image
Key Points - More Detailed Notes Below (scroll down) Scripture reading from Deuteronomy chapter 28 verses 1-14 outlined the blessings that come to those who diligently obey God's voice and carefully observe His commandments. Many people today misrepresent God due to lack of character, with unqualified leaders questioning God's will rather than embracing it, creating confusion in the church. Believers who complain will remain in their circumstances, while those who praise God with gratitude will be raised up, regardless of external situations like recessions or negative news. Identity and authority in Christ are tied to God's purpose for each person on earth, and many believers remain stuck because they lack understanding of who they are in God. The Bible contains approximately 7,000 to 8,000 promises from God spanning from Genesis 3:15 to Revelation 22:20, demonstrating His faithfulness from humanity's fall through Christ's promised return. God's promises p...

Unlearning the Lies: 5 Misconceptions That Steal Your Peace (and the Biblical Truth That Sets You Free) - Bible Session w/Pr. Melly

Misconception About Being a Savior Believers often mistakenly think they are meant to be the solution to world problems like drug addiction, homelessness, and child trafficking Christians are called to be the light of the world rather than definitive problem solvers for societal issues Light represents God's presence, truth, and love, serving as a guide for others toward hope and faith Moral and ethical living involves reflecting God's character through kindness, compassion, and integrity in all decisions Influence on others occurs when believers' good works potentially guide people to see God, though the outcome remains beyond human control Believers cannot change other people and should not burden themselves with trying to convince others about salvation Misconception About Constant Busyness Many Christians believe they must stay constantly busy to prove their dedication to God This harmful mindset leads to burnout, resentment, bitterness, and may cause believer...

Seen, Not Watched: What Jesus Will See in the Church Today

Image
  Many churches risk becoming places where money gets watched and people get overlooked . There’s a warning against counting cash for value instead of valuing souls. “Feel-good” culture can turn into an addiction to hype , replacing real spiritual formation. Church can start feeling like a club membership instead of a mission of evangelism and discipleship. Flashy programs may take the place of prayer and dependence on God . Leadership image can get prioritized over integrity and character . Some avoid confronting sin or hard topics, creating silence on real issues . Popularity can replace purpose , leaving people spiritually abandoned due to pride. The core distinction: many watch (observe without change) but don’t see (understand deeply). Outreach among the homeless and incarcerated becomes a “real-world seminary” where pride and performance don’t work. Being “seen” restores dignity, hope, and trust —like Jesus’ way of loving people. Homeless outreach shows how invisibil...

Truth Over Feelings Accountability and Spiritual Discernment

Image
  Key Points - (More detailed sections follow this one) Discussion addressed the viral Drewski skit about megachurches, with Pastor Jose clarifying that while not all megachurches are corrupted, some pastors in the 21st century have turned ministry into business rather than focusing on spiritual growth. Pastor Jose emphasized that the biggest threat to churches comes from wolves in the pews rather than pulpits, as these individuals spread confusion and division among believers while remaining unnoticed. Compromise was identified as the primary way churches become corrupted, particularly when leadership becomes afraid to address controversial issues like homosexuality due to fear of losing members, money, and influence. Teaching from 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 outlined specific behaviors that prevent inheritance of God's kingdom, including fornication, idolatry, adultery, homosexuality, theft, covetousness, and drunkenness. Pastor Jose stressed the importance of holding all church lea...

Spiritual Check-Up: Identity in Christ, Warfare, and Wise Living

Spiritual Check-Up: Identity in Christ, Warfare, and Wise Living Key Points - More Detail Follows This Section Many ministers today focus on motivating and exciting people rather than stressing the importance of prayer, Bible reading, fasting, and studying God's Word. Sacrifice and obedience were demonstrated when the ladies conducted an all-night prayer session from 9 PM Friday to 6 AM Saturday, despite challenging circumstances. America has already overflowed its cup of iniquities and entered into judgment, having strayed far from the godly principles it was founded on 400 years ago by the Pilgrims. Divine structure represents the ordained framework of spiritual principles that manifests in righteous living and relationships, requiring believers to live with purpose and identity in Christ. God has a specific plan and purpose for each individual's life, and believers are called to be good stewards of everything entrusted to them rather than living carelessly. Financial ...

🎙️Audio & Notes for Sunday, January 11, 2026 w/Pastor Jose - Scripture-Based Frameworks Produce Orderly, Transformed Christian Living

Image
Scripture-Based Frameworks Produce Orderly, Transformed Christian Living Key Opening Scripture:    Galations 5:16-26 Key Points - Detailed Summary in Sections Below - Scroll Down Biblical scripture serves as the fundamental constitution for spiritual belief, moral conduct, and kingdom living, with God never asking for human opinions on His established principles. Churches operating for more than 10 years should not have scandals, and when they do occur, it indicates that foundational issues have been swept under the rug rather than properly addressed. God's character reveals Him as a God of order, and wherever disorder exists, it indicates the devil's influence rather than God's presence. Christians must establish consistent frameworks based on biblical principles to make proper decisions and avoid compromising their faith when sharing it with others. Jesus fulfilled the 613 Old Testament laws through His life, death and resurrection without abolishing them, calling b...
