Cultural Tendencies and Kingdom Realities

In the 3rd week of our Kingdom Builders Series, Pastor Mike Santiago delves into the intersection of “Cultural Tendencies and Kingdom Realities.” With clarity and conviction, Santiago addresses five key financial tendencies prevalent in culture, contrasting them with eternal truths. From debunking the notion that “It’s My Money” to emphasizing the enduring principle of tithing and the eternal return on investment, Santiago navigates the delicate balance between wealth and godly stewardship. Rooted in biblical passages such as Psalm 24:1, Deuteronomy 8:18, and 1 Timothy 6:10, he underscores the need to align financial practices with spiritual principles. The message culminates in a call for a Kingdom Builders offering, urging the church family to prayerfully consider contributing, affirming faith in God’s prosperity for individuals and the collective church body. The concluding prayer manifests a collective commitment to financial abundance, a shift from fear to trust, and a dedication to passing down Godly principles of prosperity to future generations.

How To Be Ready For The Rapture

In this week’s sermon, Pastor Mike Santiago explores the theme “How to be Ready for the Rapture” using the parable of the Ten Bridesmaids from Matthew 25:1-13. He emphasizes the importance of having both the lamp of profession and the oil of passion, differentiating between outward appearances and being genuinely filled with the Spirit. The sermon outlines the characteristics of readiness and highlights the perils of spiritual depletion, distraction, and distance. It’s a compelling call to ensure believers are prepared for the imminent return of Christ.

Joseph’s choice to flee from temptation, seeking God’s way out, exemplifies how integrity leads to a meaningful and consistent life.
