    GOD WORKS THROUGH IMPERFECT MOMENTS - Acts 15:39-41

    What happens when godly people disagree? In this message from Acts 15:36–41, we explore a powerful and often overlooked truth: God works through imperfect moments. Even in conflict, tension, and unexpected outcomes, the mission of God continues to move forward. If you’ve ever struggled with conflict, disappointment, or things not going as planned, this message is for you.

    UNITY IN THE MIDST OF CONFLICT - Acts 15:22-35

    What does it take to have real unity when there’s tension, disagreement, or conflict? In Acts 15:22–35, the early church faces a defining moment, one that could have divided them, but instead strengthened them. In this message, we explore how Gospel clarity, sacrificial love, and intentional encouragement lead to true unity. Unity isn’t found in avoiding conflict, it’s found in how we walk through it.

    ANCHORED IN GOSPEL GRACE - Acts 15:12-21

    We apologize for the audio issues. You can fast forward to the 10:38 mark where the audio was corrected. What do you do when everything feels like it’s on the line? In Acts 15:12–21, the early church faced one of the most critical questions in history. What must a person do to be saved? As tensions rose and opinions filled the room, the church had to affirm whether salvation was truly by grace alone, or if something more was required. In this message, we walk through three anchors that guided the early church and still guide us today. This passage reminds us that Jesus is enough. We don’t add to Him. We don’t improve on Him. We trust in what He has already finished. If you’re trying to navigate confusion, cultural pressure, or spiritual tension, this message will help you think clearly, stand firmly, and follow faithfully.

    WHEN THE GOSPEL IS ON THE LINE - Acts 15:1-11

    What happens when the Gospel starts to get blurry? In Acts 15:1–11, a serious question arises in the early church. Is faith in Jesus enough, or is something more required for salvation? What seems like a small addition quickly becomes a major threat to the truth of the Gospel. The Gospel is not something we improve, it’s something we receive. And when we truly understand grace, it doesn’t lead to burden, it leads to joy and transformation.

    JESUS CHANGES EVERYTHING - Mark 16:1-8

    The resurrection of Jesus isn’t just a moment in history, it changes everything. In this Easter message from Mark 16:1–8, we see how the resurrection fulfills God’s plan of redemption, echoing the Exodus and revealing Jesus as the true and better deliverer. The empty tomb proves that the cross worked, the grave is conquered, and new life is available to all who believe. This isn’t just a story to admire, it’s an invitation to respond. Jesus is alive! What will you do with that truth?

    REJOICING IN THE LORD - Habakkuk 3:1-19

    What do you do when life doesn’t go according to plan? In this message from Habakkuk 3, we see a powerful transformation. The prophet begins the book questioning God, but ends it worshiping Him. His circumstances didn’t change but his perspective did. Even in seasons of uncertainty, loss, or confusion, we are invited to rejoice, not because life is easy, but because God is faithful. Ultimately, this passage points us to Jesus, where we see that even in judgment, God remembers mercy. Through the cross and resurrection, we are given a joy that cannot be shaken.

    GOD JUDGES EVIL - Habakkuk 2:2-20

    Evil doesn’t go unnoticed, it doesn’t go untracked, and it will not go unjudged. In this message from Habakkuk 2:2–20, we wrestle with a question every honest heart has asked: Does God really see what’s happening in the world and will He do anything about it? God’s answer to Habakkuk is both sobering and hopeful. He reveals that sin is not random or overlooked. It is building, spreading, and will be judged with precision and certainty. From greed and selfish ambition to injustice, exploitation, and idolatry, God confronts every layer of human sin. But this passage doesn’t just expose sin, it points us to the only hope we have. Because while God will judge evil, He has also made a way for sinners to be saved.

    WAITING & TRUSTING - Habakkuk 1:12-2:1

    In this message, Pastor Roland explores what it looks like to follow God when His plans feel confusing or even unsettling. Habakkuk wrestles with a shocking revelation from the Lord. God is raising up Babylon, a ruthless empire, to judge Judah. The prophet knows God is holy and just, yet what God reveals doesn’t seem to fit with what Habakkuk understands about His character. Instead of turning away, Habakkuk shows us the journey of real faith. Waiting is not wasted time in the kingdom of God. It is the furnace where trust is refined. When we anchor ourselves in the character of God, we can endure seasons when His ways are difficult to understand.

    GOD’S WAYS ARE BIGGER - Habakkuk 1:5-11

    When life feels confusing and God’s response doesn’t match what we expected, it can shake our faith. In Habakkuk 1:5–11, the prophet cries out to God over the corruption and injustice he sees in Judah. When God finally answers, the response is far bigger and more unsettling than Habakkuk imagined. Instead of immediate relief, God reveals that He is already at work among the nations. His plan involves raising up the Babylonians, a powerful and ruthless empire, to discipline His own people. Through this shocking revelation, we see a powerful truth: God’s ways are bigger than our perspective, our expectations, and even our understanding of judgment.

    WHEN GOD SEEMS SILENT - Habakkuk 1:1-4

    Ever felt like your prayers are hitting the ceiling? In this message we step into the tension of a prophet who doesn’t begin with praise but with a burden. “How long, Lord?” Habakkuk isn’t doubting God’s existence; he’s wrestling with God’s apparent inaction. Corruption is rising. Justice is twisted. Violence fills the land and heaven seems quiet. But silence in Scripture does not mean absence. It often means delay, and delay creates holy tension. This sermon reminds us that faith is not pretending everything is fine. Faith is bringing everything to God. If you’re in a “How long?” season, don’t walk away. Stay. Seek. Wait. God may be forming something deeper in you before He changes what’s around you.

    THINKING BIBLICALLY ABOUT OBEDIENCE - John 14:15-26

    In this message from John 14:15–26, we explore what Jesus meant when He said, “If you love me, you will keep my commands.” Is obedience legalism? Is it optional? Or is it something deeper? In the Upper Room, just hours before the cross, Jesus ties obedience to love, empowerment by the Holy Spirit, and abiding fellowship with the Father. Biblical obedience is not about earning God’s love, it is the evidence that we belong to Him. SCRIPTURE REFERENCES: John 14:15-26 SPEAKER: Pastor Roland Contreras ---- CONNECT WITH US: Online: https://www.reachthegrove.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/reachthegrove/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reachthegrove/ Give: https://www.reachthegrove.com/give/ ---- #reachthegrove #jesus #onlinechurch #faith #bible #believe #belong #cross #inspiration #christian #churchonline #truth #knowledge #trust #gospel #expository #preach #preaching #holyspirit #worship #praise #discipleship #sermon #gospelofjohn #newtestament

    THINKING BIBLICALLY ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT - Romans 8:5-11

    In Romans 7, Paul describes the frustration of knowing God’s law but lacking the power to obey it. In Romans 8, he reveals the answer: the indwelling Holy Spirit. This message explores three foundational truths: The Holy Spirit defines who belongs to Christ, The Holy Spirit transfers us from self-rule to God’s rule, The Holy Spirit brings resurrection life now and forever. Christianity is not moral improvement with divine assistance. It is a transfer of dominion. It is new life through the Spirit. It is resurrection power already at work in the believer. The question is not whether you are trying hard enough. The question is whether the Spirit of God has taken residence in you and whether you are living under His authority.

    MADE NEW - Victory Weekend 2026 - Ephesians 2:1-5,10

    What does it mean to truly be made new? In this sermon we turn to Ephesians 2:1–5 to see the power of the Gospel at work. Scripture reminds us that we were once dead in our sin, hopeless and separated from God, but through His great mercy and love, God made us alive with Christ. This message calls us to stop defining ourselves by their past and to step into the new life Jesus offers. Victory isn’t found in trying harder or being better, it’s found in being made new by grace. Whether you were there in the room or watching now, our prayer is that this message points you to the transforming power of Jesus and reminds you that your story isn’t over.

    THINKING BIBLICALLY ABOUT TRUTH - John 18:28-38

    In a world where truth feels flexible and personal, Jesus confronts us with something far more solid and far more demanding. In this message from John 18:28–38, we examine Jesus’ conversation with Pilate and the timeless question, “What is truth?” Jesus doesn’t present truth as an argument to win, but as a reality revealed by a King. He declares that He came into the world to testify to the truth and that everyone who belongs to the truth listens to His voice. Whether you’re wrestling with doubt, navigating cultural confusion, or seeking to live faithfully in a polarized world, this message calls us back to Jesus, the Truth who sets captives free.

    THINKING BIBLICALLY ABOUT GOD’S WORD - 2 Peter 1:16-21

    In a culture where truth feels increasingly subjective, how can we know what is real and who has authority to define it? In this message from 2 Peter 1:16–21, we explore why God’s Word is trustworthy and why that matters for everyday Christian living. Peter reminds us that Scripture is not built on myths or opinions, but on eyewitness testimony, divine affirmation, fulfilled prophecy, and the work of the Holy Spirit. Christianity is rooted in real history, centered on Jesus Christ, and anchored in a Word that does not change. This sermon challenges us to examine what is shaping our worldview and calls us to submit our lives fully to the authority of God’s Word, not just to be informed by it, but to be formed by it.

    THINKING BIBLICALLY ABOUT JESUS - Colossians 1:13-20

    In this message from Colossians 1:13–20, we explore what it means to think biblically about Jesus in a world full of opinions, preferences, and distorted versions of Christ. Paul writes to the church in Colossae to confront a subtle but dangerous error: redefining Jesus instead of submitting to Him. If we misunderstand who Jesus is, we will misunderstand salvation itself. This message calls us to examine whether we are worshiping the biblical Jesus or a version shaped by culture.

    THINKING BIBLICALLY ABOUT SIN - Romans 3:9-26

    What does it mean to think biblically about sin? In Romans 3:9–26, the Apostle Paul brings every person, religious and irreligious alike, to the same conclusion, all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Sin is not a minor flaw or a manageable habit; it is universal, corrupting, and destructive. Until we see sin clearly, grace will always feel small. But when we understand the seriousness of sin, the cross becomes personal and salvation becomes glorious. This sermon calls us to stop managing sin and start trusting Christ fully.

    THINKING BIBLICALLY ABOUT GOD - Exodus 34:5-8

    What you believe about God shapes everything else. In this sermon from Exodus 34:5–9, we begin our series Thinking Biblically by letting God define Himself. Set against the backdrop of Israel’s rebellion with the golden calf, this passage reveals a compassionate, gracious, and faithful God who presses in rather than pulling away. If we don’t allow Scripture to shape our understanding of God, something else will. This message calls us to submit our thinking to God’s Word and respond with worship, trust, and obedience.

    HE CAME TO SAVE US - John 3:1-21

    In this message, we step beyond the manger and into a late night conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus, a religious man who had everything except new life. Jesus makes it clear, salvation is not about behavior modification or religious effort, but about being born again by the Spirit. Christmas doesn’t just celebrate that Jesus came near, it confronts us with why He came and the answer changes everything. Whether you’re exploring faith or have walked with Jesus for years, this message calls us all to step into the light and trust Christ fully.

    HE CAME TO DWELL WITH US - Matthew 1:18-23

    Christmas Eve is a sacred pause, a moment when the noise quiets and our hearts are drawn back to what matters most. In this Christmas Eve message, we walk through Matthew 1:18–23 and rediscover the meaning of the name Immanuel. This is not a sentimental title or a seasonal slogan. It is a theological declaration that God has come near.

    HE CAME TO DESTROY DEATH - Hebrews 2:14-18

    Why did Jesus have to die? In this Christmas message from Hebrews 2:14–18, we explore the deeper meaning behind the incarnation and the cross. Jesus didn’t come merely to inspire us, He came to destroy death itself. The manger only makes sense because of the cross. And the cross changes everything.

    HE CAME TO RESTORE THE IMAGE - Colossians 1:15-22

    In Colossians 1:15–22, the apostle Paul lifts our eyes to the supremacy of Jesus Christ and shows us why Christmas is more than a moment in history. It is God’s plan to restore what sin shattered. In this message, we see three unshakable truths, Jesus is first. He is the image of the invisible God and the source of all creation. Jesus is supreme. All things were created through Him and for Him, and He holds everything together. Jesus is enough. Through His death and resurrection, we are reconciled, made holy, and brought near to God. This passage reminds us that restoration doesn’t begin with self-improvement or effort—it begins with surrender to Christ. If Jesus is not first, He cannot be supreme. And if He is not supreme, He will never be enough. Whether you are exploring faith or longing for renewal, this message points us back to the One who restores the image of God in us through grace and truth.

    HE CAME TO REVEAL THE FATHER - John 1:1-18

    When John opens his Gospel, he doesn’t start with shepherds or angels, he starts in eternity. In this sermon, Pastor Roland walks through John 1:1–18 to show how Jesus came not only to save us, but to reveal the Father to us. If you’ve ever wondered what God is really like, or how Christmas speaks into your everyday life, this message will encourage your heart and draw your eyes toward Jesus, the Word made flesh, full of grace and truth.

    FAITHFULNESS TO THE MISSION - Acts 14:24-28

    God is faithful to His mission and He invites us into that mission with grace, purpose, and perseverance.

    THE GOSPEL THAT KEEPS GOING - Acts 14:21-23

    The Gospel keeps moving forward even when life pushes back. In Acts 14:21-23, Paul is bruised, bloodied, and left for dead yet he gets up and walks back into the very towns that tried to destroy him. Why? Because faith runs deeper than fear, and the mission of Christ is worth more than our comfort.

    BLINDED HEARTS - Acts 14:8-20

    You can see God move and still miss God Himself. In Acts 14:8-20, Paul and Barnabas perform a miracle in the city of Lystra but the people mistake them for gods. The same crowd that tried to worship them soon tries to kill them. It’s a story of spiritual blindness, misplaced devotion, and the grace of God that still raises the fallen.

    LIVE - The Grove - Orange Grove, TX

    When the Gospel comes to town, hearts are revealed. In Acts 14:1-7, Paul and Barnabas preach in Iconium, and the city divides. Some believe, others resist. The Gospel doesn’t flatter; it confronts. It tests, reveals, and refines. In this message, Pastor Roland Contreras challenges us to examine which side of the line we’re standing on when the truth of Christ exposes what’s inside.

    DON’T MISS IT - Acts 13:42-52

    The Gospel divides hearts. Some draw near with humility, others turn away in pride. In Acts 13:42–52, Paul’s sermon in the synagogue exposes a dangerous truth: you can be surrounded by God’s work and still miss His grace. In this message, Pastor Roland Contreras challenges us to examine our hearts, are we following Jesus out of curiosity or conviction? Learn how God’s grace draws us in, pierces our pride, and sends us out on mission.

    GOD’S MIRACLE & GOD’S PLAN - Acts 12:6-19

    In Acts 12, James is executed, Peter is imprisoned, and the church is under attack. Yet God shows us a powerful truth: His mission cannot be stopped. In this message, Pastor Roland unpacks three key truths from Peter’s miraculous deliverance: God is moving—get ready. God is leading—follow Him. God hears His people—pray. This passage reminds us that God uses both persecution and miracles to advance the Gospel, and both bring Him glory. The cross and resurrection of Jesus remain the ultimate proof that no power on earth can stop the mission of God. Join us as we discover how to live ready, walk in obedience, and pray with faith because our God still moves.

    4 WAYS CHRISTIANS SHOULD RESPOND TO EVIL & TRAGEDY

    When the world witnesses senseless acts of evil, like the recent murder of Charlie Kirk, we are reminded of just how dark and broken sin truly is. These moments leave people grieving, searching, and asking questions. As the church, we cannot remain silent. The world will always offer its own answers, but the gospel offers hope, truth, and a response that leads to life. In this video, Pastor Roland Contreras shares 4 biblical ways to respond when evil and sin are on full display. Whether you knew Charlie Kirk or not, the grief we feel in moments like this points us to the reality that eternity is written on our hearts, and we know this is not how it’s supposed to be.

    TRADING TRUTH FOR A LIE - Romans 1:18-20

    We live in a culture filled with bad trades; trading integrity for influence, marriages for flings, and truth for trends. In Romans 1, Paul reveals humanity’s greatest tragedy, we’ve exchanged the truth of God for lies. This message challenges us to face that reality and points us back to the only hope we have, the true Jesus of Scripture, not the counterfeit “cultural Jesus” our world prefers.

    REMEMBERING THE WORKS OF THE LORD - Psalm 44:1-8

    What fuels your faith when life gets hard? In Psalm 44:1–8, we see that true faith is anchored not in feelings or circumstances but in remembering the mighty works of God. Before the psalmist laments betrayal and suffering, he leans on the testimony of God’s past faithfulness, and so should we.

    Where do you turn when joy feels out of reach? In Psalm 43, we meet a man surrounded by injustice, feeling far from God, yet determined to hope in Him. Joy is not found in perfect circumstances, it’s found in the presence of God Himself. Whether you’re walking through a dry season, feeling misunderstood, or simply longing for something more, this message will point you to the One who is your exceeding joy.

    DO YOU LONG FOR GOD? - Psalm 42

    In this powerful message from Psalm 42, Pastor Roland challenges us to consider what our souls are truly longing for. Just as a deer pants for water, we were created to thirst for God. Yet so often, we chase lesser things. Things like success, approval, pleasure and they never satisfy. Psalm 42 gives voice to our spiritual thirst and points us to the only One who can truly satisfy, Jesus, the Living Water. Even in seasons of dryness, doubt, or distance, we’re reminded that our hope is not in circumstances, but in the unchanging character of God. Key Themes: 1) You were made to thirst for God 2) Even when God feels distant, long for Him still 3) Christ quenches our deepest thirst Where are you turning when your soul is dry? This sermon invites you to stop settling for broken cisterns and run to the fountain of living water.

    WHERE DO YOU TURN IN TIMES OF TROUBLE? - Psalm 41

    When life falls apart, when you're betrayed, overwhelmed, or physically and spiritually weak, where do you turn? In this powerful sermon from Psalm 41, Pastor Roland Contreras explores King David's raw and honest cry to the Lord in the midst of intense suffering. David turns not to bitterness, vengeance, or distraction, but to the mercy, faithfulness, and hope of God. Through David’s words, we see a picture not just of personal struggle, but a foreshadowing of Jesus, the One who was betrayed, crucified, and raised so we could find hope beyond the grave. Whether you're going through a trial or walking with someone who is, this message reminds us that God is our refuge in every storm and that the final word in our story isn't trouble, it's worship.

    WHAT SONG ARE YOU SINGING? - Psalm 40

    In a world filled with songs of despair, complaint, and self-reliance, Psalm 40 invites us to sing a new song, a song of rescue, obedience, and hope. In this powerful sermon, Pastor Roland walks us through David’s testimony of waiting on the Lord, being lifted from the pit, and receiving a new song of praise. 1) The song is born in waiting – God hears us in our waiting and lifts us up. 2) The song is fueled by obedience – True worship comes from a surrendered heart. 3) The song is proclaimed in witness – Our story of rescue becomes a testimony of God’s faithfulness to others. Whether you’re in a pit, walking in obedience, or finding your voice to witness, this message will remind you that your life sings whatever fills your heart.

    HOW BRIEF IS YOUR LIFE? - Psalm 39

    Life moves fast. One day you're planning and building, the next you're wondering where the years went. Psalm 39 is David’s brutally honest prayer about life’s brevity and our desperate need for God’s mercy. In this sermon, we walk through Psalm 39 and ask: How brief is your life? It’s not meant to depress us but to wake us up. To remind us that our days are a vapor, but God’s grace is forever. Key Points: 1) Do You Know How Short Your Life Is? We often live like tomorrow is guaranteed, forgetting that Scripture says life is like a breath. 2) Where Is Your Hope? David turns from despair to faith: “My hope is in You.” True hope isn't in what fades but in the God who is eternal. 3) Are You Crying Out for Mercy? David's prayer is raw and real. He confesses, laments, and pleads for God’s mercy. Christ bore the wrath we deserve so we can receive the mercy we need.

    ARE YOU BURDENED BY SIN? - Psalm 38

    In this honest and soul-searching message from Psalm 38, Pastor Roland Contreras asks a question many of us avoid: Are you burdened by sin? Our world has a habit of making sin sound respectable. Greed becomes ambition, lust is called love, pride is sold as confidence. But Psalm 38 doesn’t sugarcoat. It is David’s raw cry from the weight of sin’s consequences and his desperate plea for God’s mercy. In this sermon, you’ll discover three powerful truths from Psalm 38: 1) Sin is devastating – It destroys our bodies, minds, relationships, and souls. 2) Confession frees the soul – Honest, humble confession opens the door to God’s grace. 3) God’s mercy is our only hope – True hope is found not in our goodness, but in God’s forgiving love through Christ. Pastor Roland reminds us that sin will always cost more than we want to pay, but God’s mercy is greater than our sin. Jesus bore the wrath of God so we could receive His love and forgiveness. If you’re weighed down by guilt, shame, or regret, this message will point you to the only One who can lift that burden.

    WILL YOU WAIT FOR THE LORD? - Psalm 37

    When evil seems to win and the world feels upside down, it’s easy to wonder: Why keep being faithful? Why wait on God when it feels like the wicked prosper? In this sermon from Psalm 37:1–11, Pastor Roland Contreras challenges us to slow down and listen to the ancient wisdom David offers: There’s a better way to live in a broken world. Psalm 37 isn’t naïve about injustice, betrayal, or evil. Instead, it invites us to trust God’s perfect plan and wait on His timing. In this message, we’ll explore: ✅ Why fretting fuels anger and burns our witness ✅ How to trade envy for active trust in God ✅ What it really means to be still and wait well ✅ The promise that the meek will inherit the land If you’ve felt overwhelmed by what’s wrong in the world—or even just in your own life—this sermon is for you.
