This Week at SG
We live in a world full of noise—urgent voices, constant opinions, and relentless pressure to act, react, and stay in control. Most of us don’t struggle to believe in Jesus. We struggle to slow down long enough to actually listen to him.
In this message, Pastor Mike will look at the story of the Transfiguration and discover that it’s not primarily about seeing glory—it’s about hearing the right voice. When Peter rushes to act, God interrupts him with a simple command: “Listen to him.”
This teaching invites us to reconsider where we’re taking our cues from and what it means to truly listen to Jesus in the middle of everyday life—not with fear or shame, but with trust. Not to escape real life, but to be shaped for it.
Together, we’ll explore how listening to Jesus brings clarity, healing, and wholeness—and how learning to pause and listen may be the most practical act of faith we can practice.
Sunday Rewind
There are seasons when faith feels real—but not very useful. We still believe. We still show up. But nothing about our everyday lives seems all that different.
In this message, Pastor Mike explores Jesus’ words about being salt and light and what they reveal about the purpose of faith. Jesus never called his followers to be impressive, loud, or performative. He called them to be useful—present, distinct, and shaped from the inside out.
Together, we’ll reconsider what faithful living actually looks like in ordinary places: at work, at home, and in our relationships. Rather than blending in or standing out for the wrong reasons, Jesus calls us to a way of life that quietly makes a difference.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your faith is meant for more than private belief or public display, this message offers a grounded, practical vision of following Jesus in a way that actually works in real life.

Resisting the Reflex to Feel "Less Than"
Many of us live with a quiet, persistent sense that we don’t quite measure up—not because anyone says it out loud, but because we’ve learned it over time.
In this new Groundwork episode, Pastor Mike explores why feelings of inferiority can seem so reasonable, where they come from, and why even knowing the truth about our identity in Christ doesn’t automatically silence them. Scripture doesn’t tell us to fight our feelings—it gives us a different authority to trust.
This conversation is for anyone who stays quiet instead of stepping forward, assumes others matter more, or has learned to keep themselves small to stay safe.

It's Coffee Time!
Our Sunday sermons are designed to be the first words in a conversation, not the last. The discussion continues every Wednesday morning at Coffee Klatch on the NE corner of Foothill and Vineyard in Rancho Cucamonga. Join Pastor Mike and a group of eager Solid Grounders as we dig deeper into what God’s Word has to say to us.
We practice the way of Jesus and we want you to be part of the journey.
Following Jesus is about more than attending weekend services. It’s about living life to the full, connected to Jesus and to one another. It’s about having a community of people to rally around us when we need it and a willingness to do the same for them. Navigate around our site to explore the variety of ways you can serve and be served as part of our faith family.
