New Identity!
New identity (Part 1) 2 Corinthians 5:17-18 By Ysrael De la Cruz One of the reasons we must remain connected to a church community is because we tend to forget who we are as followers of Jesus. In a Christ-centered community we are constantly reminded who we are, what we are supposed to do and…

The Resurrection changed everything! Luke 24:1-12 By Ysrael De la Cruz The cross represented the endgame for the disciples of Jesus that Friday afternoon.

The Coming King!
The coming King Zachariah 9:9-10 By Ysrael De la Cruz Last week I preached about the crucial question, who is Jesus? Jesus’ identity has puzzled people for thousands of years.

Favored by God!
Favored by God! Luke 1:26-38 By Ysrael De la Cruz Some information tends to carry huge implications to our lives. Some news could change our lives drastically. The visit to the Dr, as you wait for the test results to find out you have a terminal disease. Sudden death of a loved one in a…

God’s kingdom Agenda
God’s kingdom agenda Acts 1:6-8 By: Ysrael De la Cruz If you had the chance to ask Jesus one question, what would it be? During his earthly ministry he was asked so many different questions by secular people and by his own disciples. Can you name one of the questions Jesus was asked during his…
Jesus, Savior and Punisher!
Jesus, Savior and Punisher John 3:16-19 By Ysrael De la Cruz If Jesus lived in our society today, they would have cancelled him already.
