After 15 wonderful years serving at La Mirada Church, I’ll be retiring as Women’s and Children’s Pastor. I’m deeply grateful for every moment and every person God allowed me to walk alongside.

As I began my comments on th...

This Message: Paul’s joy isn’t shaken by prison walls. His life, prayer, and example call us to live worthy of the gospel, standing firm together in Christ. Paul’s writing from prison and yet he’s full of steady, grateful j...

Theology isn’t abstract—it’s lived. Your life is your testimony. The way you respond to trials, the way you show joy, the way you carry burdens—all of it proclaims who you believe God is. This message equips you to let your theology and your testimony walk hand in hand.

I'm inviting you on a discipleship journey into a life that is Christ-centered and gospel-fueled: “I want to be everything about the gospel. “For me to live is Chri...

Welcome to "Philippians: Joyful & Steady" - First teaching session in this Bible study series! This is part 1 of "How to Study the Bible." First, some general principles, and then in part 2, specifics for studying and dwelling well through Philippians.

 Do you ever feel stuck in your Bible study, unsure how to connect with God's Word in a meaningful way? Or perhaps you find yourself struggling to truly experience the freedom th...

This episode digs into a tough but real question: does God fight for us when we feel attacked or misrepresented? We walk through Scripture to understand God’s character, how to check our hearts, and why godly friendships and humility matter more than instant vindication. I share practical steps, key verses to meditate on, and encouragement to trust God’s timing while pursuing holiness. Let’s think it through toget...

This week’s message from Hebrews 10:32–39 carries a deeply personal note. Before the sermon, we sang “Walk by Calvary”—a song written by my dad, Dave Garrett. He wasn’t just a pastor; he was a songwriter who lived out Colossians 3:16, letting the Word of Christ dwell richly through hymns and spiritual songs. For me, his words are a heritage of faith, pointing me (and now all of us) back to the cr...

What if the scariest words in Hebrews are actually an act of mercy? “If we go on sinning deliberately…” (Hebrews 10:26–31) can sound like doom, but this passage is a loving shout of “Stop!” to hearts drifting toward an eyes-wide-open rejection of Jesus. In this message, we unpack what “sinning deliberately” really means (and what it doesn’t), ...

What if life's biggest need isn't a quick fix? It’s easy to get caught up in wanting things *now*. But what if the deepest longing is for something more? What if it is a sense of peace that comes from within? Feeling like you're never enough? Like no matter how hard you try, you just can’t outrun guilt or find peace with God? In this message from Hebrews 10, we explore why all the sacr...

Today we're diving into something truly heart-changing. Have you ever wondered what our greatest need is, especially during these crazy, chaotic times? Spoiler alert: it's not more laws or policies. It's actually about getting a brand new heart! ❤️

Join us as we explore how true reconciliation isn't just about playing nice, but it's about something much deeper and more divine. We're on a journey through Hebrews 8, discovering how G...

We're diving into some deep waters today as we explore the book of Hebrews together. Remember seven years ago when we first tackled Hebrews? Well, we're back! It's like catching up with an old friend. Today, we're tackling some of the most challenging yet beloved passages in the Bible. Hold on tight, because spiritual growth isn't for the faint-hearted, but it's oh-so-rewarding!

This episode focuses on leaving behind spiritual infa...

Here we are at the conclusion of our study through Joshua. In this closing message we'll explore covenant faithfulness, the challenges of serving the Lord, and the timeless call to choose whom we will serve. I think you'll be encouraged and strengthened as you listen and review these final moments of Joshua and see with new eyes the story of conquest, covenant, and the unwavering promises of God. This is a heartfelt call to live a ...

What does it mean to truly possess the faith that God calls us to live out, not just the easy parts, but the deeply transformative walk of obedience?

Through the lives of Caleb, Achsa, and Joshua, we discover the unyielding faith it takes to claim our spiritual inheritance amidst life's giants and uncertainties. But more than that, we're unraveling how God places us intentionally in our life's geography, blending our stories with H...

Ever feel like you’re standing on the edge of something God promised but hesitating to step forward? You’re not alone. In Joshua 10-14, we see battles won, prayers so bold they stopped the sun, and an unlikely group—the Gibeonites—who secured a covenant with God by accident.

💭 Key Quote: “The battle has already been won. The question isn’t if God is faithful. The question is, will we have the co...

Too Far Gone? The Truth About Grace, Judgment & Redemption

Ever felt like you’ve messed up too much for God to take you back? Like you’ve crossed the line, failed one too many times, and now you're beyond grace? You’re not alone. But here’s the truth: The very place of your greatest failure can become the doorway to hope.

(Message Notes available on my website)

Heirs of the Gospel - Children of Promise....this phrase is packed with meaning, hinting at our identity as heirs to God's promises. We explore why the law was given (hint: it’s not to save us) and how it points out our need for a Savior. We learn that faith in Christ transforms us from being bound by the law to becoming full-fledged heirs. Paul brilliantly explains that in Christ, ther...
