Have you ever found yourself waiting for something you can’t name — a breakthrough that never seems to come, a prayer that feels unanswered? In those dark, stretched-out hours, hope can feel like a fragile illusion. But the Bible paints a different picture.
In this powerful message, Pastor Mike will reveal that Christian hope isn’t wishful thinking — it’s a bold, active waiting rooted in God’s unchanging character. Drawing from Micah 7, Psalm 130, and the ancient Hebrew word yakhal (“to wait with tension”), you’ll discover that hope is not a feeling or a fantasy — it’s a Person.
Through the resurrection of Jesus, our hope is alive. This message will help you trust again, wait with purpose, and believe that even in the silence, God is at work.

What if Jesus’ ascension wasn’t about leaving… but about leading?
In this message, Pastor Mike will remind us that when Jesus ascended, He didn’t vanish — He took His throne. And that changes everything for you! Because the One who reigns from heaven is still working through you on earth — in your home, at your job, in your conversations, and in your quiet prayers.
The Ascension isn’t the end of the story… it’s the moment heaven’s power got released into everyday life. If you’ve ever felt like God was distant… or wondered where Jesus went after the Resurrection… this message will open your eyes to what He’s doing right now — through ordinary people who carry His presence into ordinary places.

New Podcast Debuts This Thursday
Groundwork is a conversation-driven video podcast that explores the intersection of faith and real life. Each episode takes biblical truth beyond Sunday sermons, applying it to everyday relationships, struggles, and decisions.
Through authentic dialogue with pastors, counselors, authors, and everyday believers, Groundwork uncovers practical wisdom for navigating modern challenges—whether it’s family dynamics, cultural pressures, personal struggles, or questions of faith. The tone is warm, engaging, and down-to-earth, often weaving in humor, storytelling, and honest reflections that make spiritual insights accessible and relatable.
The series makes it debut on YouTube this coming Thursday. Dr. Vance Nichols, head of our own Alta Loma Christian School will be our guest, talking about ways to understand and connect with the youth of today, starting with our own kids.
