Are you feeling overcome by evil? Like everything and everyone is against you? Pastor Ray continues in the book of Esther in the message "All the King's Horses" and reveals how God's will overrides man's intentions in the lives of the Jews and in our lives as well. He can take our circumstances and turn them for good.…

We continue in the book of Esther this Sunday in the sermon "Now That You Mention It" looking at two men living parallel lives--one destined for greatness and the other for the gallows. Pastor Ray reveals how involved God really is in a story where everything seemed to be unraveling. When the world around us seems to be falling apart, we too need t…

We read of Queen Esther's story last time as she put her life on the line. We learn how she thoughtfully positions herself and is beautifully robed for the occasion of addressing her king. Let us take a moment to consider our next steps by going to the King of kings in prayer so that we do not misstep. Do you robe yourself with the beauty of the Go…

In a time of persecution, protests, and unrest on top of a global pandemic, how do we become catalysts for change? Pastor Ray directs us to God's Word in the book of Esther as we see how He used one young lady who risked her life for others who were being oppressed. We are challenged to put God's will and others first. Maybe you too were born for s…

This week Pastor Ray takes us to the story of young Samuel where the word of the Lord is first revealed to him. How can we tell God’s voice above the noise the world is making? If we want to hear from God, we have to be intentional and intimate in our relationship with Him. Do you need a place or space where you receive from God? He wants to talk t…

We celebrate Annex Easter 2020 with our first ever Easter online video gathering as Pastor Ray shares an invitation from the Master. Jesus visits with his disciples after the resurrection in John 21 and he finds them navigating the waters of “familiar” and what used to be. Are you longing so deeply for what used to be that you miss what Jesus has f…

In the sermon "The Miracle in the Mess" Pastor Ray makes a Shift this week to a miraculous story where Peter transforms a place of pain and death into a place of prayer and life. God is using this time where His church is scattered and isolated to prepare us for what’s on the other side. At a time where death stands at our doorstep, will you be vul…

During a time of worldwide quarantine, Pastor Ray takes us to the book of Acts where we read how Paul and Silas reacted to being beaten and imprisoned. The isolation not only exposes our priorities, but gives us time to reevaluate them. We continue in our series Shift with the message of passion, purpose, and praise in the sermon “Midnight to Morni…

Have you ever been so close to reaching for something you really wanted, but then fall short just before getting there? We are visiting Acts 3 in the sermon “Silver and Gold” as we hear of a lame man who was carried daily just outside the gates of the temple, but never quite able to enter into the presence of God. When he meets Peter and John a Shi…

In a world of uncertainty, Pastor Ray teaches through Mark 4 which tells of a great storm that filled the disciples on the boat with panic and fear. Where was Jesus? Didn’t he care? He was sleeping. In the middle of the panic and chaos, who are you looking to? What are you focusing on? We continue in our series Shift in “He Gave You Peace” as we se…

Pastor Rachel delivers the next installment of our series Shift from Acts 8 where we learn “Where Change Is Born.” The Ethiopian that Philip has an encounter with was trying to find fulfillment in religion. His transformation begins with a conversation and the Gospel. Are you riding in a chariot, or are you, like Philip, sent to be next to those in…

We’re excited to begin our new series Shift with the sermon “Jesus Changes You.” We see how Saul in the book of Acts was running in the wrong direction but believed he was doing the work of God. He encounters Jesus at an intersection on the way to Damascus. When you cross paths with Jesus, one of you has to yield—and it isn’t Jesus. Everything chan…

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to live a worry-free existence? What would it take to arrive at the point where we no longer worry? This Sunday we find the antidote and the solution to the anxiety we struggle with straight from the words of Jesus himself.Pastor Ray Del Toro

There are times that our lives look like a terrible mess. There are times when we are under attack. But sometimes it’s not what it seems. In Part 5 of Blessings Flow we see that we all are a mess. We all have issues. Maybe, like God’s people in 2 Kings 3, there is a miracle in our mess.Pastor Ray Del Toro

We continue in our series Blessing Flow and we have seen how the work and obedience of the Israelites have brought them blessings. But God doesn’t work progressively and systematically like we think He should. He blesses those who need Him. He blesses those who prepare to receive His blessings. His blessings are unseen until--Suddenly! Are you wait…

In Part 3 of Blessings Flow we see how they all endured the night after digging their ditches. Maybe you are in the middle of your night. God placed them in the valley where they were fully dependent and devoted to Him. It’s time you put it all on the line and watch what God does when you trust and elevate God where He belonged all along.…

How God-aware are you? We continue with Part 2 of the sermon Blessings Flow where we see Elisha shift the atmosphere with a song and a Word from God. When we're aware of our God, something significant shifts. Have you lost your vision of God and replaced it with idols?Pastor Ray Del Toro

What is your mindset as it pertains to the blessings of God on your life? We read in 2 Kings the story of Elisha and how he quickly resets the mindsets of those around him from victims to victors. What if we are suppose to walk into our days already having the victory?Pastor Ray Del Toro

As we begin a new decade, many of us start out with resolutions that may stretch us. Are you missing out on the good things because you're focused on the wrong things? What we choose to focus on changes everything. Pastor Ray reminds us who we are in light of who God is and that we must fix our eyes on Jesus.…

What do you cry out to God for? We cry out to God for things we don’t have, but God points us back to what we do have. It's in our deficiencies, emptiness, and not enoughs that God shows us His sufficiency. Pastor Ray charges us to expect greater things from God—the source of all things good—as we read of a brave servant in 2 Kings. What is your le…

Who has hurt you deeply? We filter the way we look at God and others based on our past relationships and what they’ve done to us. Pastor Ray reminds us that God uses the evil meant against us for good. We can begin to rebuild that broken trust. But God cannot heal what we conceal and don't reveal. Will you trust God will your past hurts? Will you a…

This week in the series Not Easily Broken we hear the story in Luke 5 of men filled with faith who through challenging circumstances brought their paraplegic friend to Jesus. Are you willing to carry your friends to Jesus' feet? Pastor Ray explains that our faith has enough power to sustain our weak family and friends and change someone else's life…

In our Not Easily Broken series we tackle some hard issues and heart checks about honesty in our connections with others and with God. What's the "fine print" you've written into your close relationships? Who reminds you of your proper place in the kingdom of God? Join us as Pastor Ray teaches through the Word in the message "Pick-Me-Up" where we c…

We're in the middle of a conversation about community in our series Not Easily Broken. Who do you trust completely? Is there anyone you are standing with "heart and soul" or are you walking through life alone? We're at war and Pastor Ray uses the special relationship of Jonathan and his armor-bearer to show us how to choose those we do battle with …

We're excited to begin our series "Not Easily Broken" and we start off this Sunday understanding how we have all been designed for community. Who do you turn to in times of brokenness? And how do you trust people when you've been hurt and betrayed? Don't miss the sermon titled "Who Is My Friend" where Pastor Ray guides us from the Word how we can i…

We often find ourselves hiding in plain sight from our circumstances, from others, from ourselves, and even from God. We all play hide-and-seek on a spiritual level. Lean in and listen as Pastor Ray helps us discover where to find a new hiding place in our .Life series in the sermon from Psalm 46.Pastor Ray Del Toro

Do you ever feel paralyzed by the thought that nothing will ever change? We read this Sunday of two men who begged for Jesus to change the impossible for them. Join us in the sermon "Never the Same" as Pastor Ray helps us discover why the greatest catalyst for change can be found in the answer to the question Jesus himself asked: "Do you really bel…

What exactly is "grace"? Who receives it? When is it achieved? Do you fall in and out of His grace? If you feel as though grace is just a too-good-to-be-true element of Jesus, join us as Pastor Ray shares through the Word in the sermon "God Does It" what it means to live daily in the grace of God in the next installment of our .Life series.…
