Pastor Tommy spends the morning discussing what our church's mission and vision is and how we can be a part of dreaming together - in LA and discipling nations! 

This week's podcast is a discussion on purpose and calling living in Los Angeles and the various difficulties many face living in their greater purpose living here. 

Pastor Tommy lays the foundation and center of it all... "A Heart that is Fully in Love" is a heart that can overflow. A heart that is fully in love is a man who can step out in boldness and great faith. A heart that is fully in love is a person who isn’t taken out by the opinions of men. A heart that is fully in love is a soul who can now BUILD WITH JESUS from a healthy, happy, joy-filled posture.  Because Love COMPELS us. It is the great motivator. It moves us from religious duty of “I have...

In this week's Easter message, "Lives that Demonstrate Resurrection Power," Pastor Tommy Martinsen shares the importance of the cross and resurrection of Jesus and how these events change the entirety of how we live and see all of life. 

In this week's message, Pastor Tommy brings us into the story of Palm Sunday, as we see Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem see the impact of His Kingship transforming our lives. 

What happens when the doors don’t immediately open? How much do you pursue vs. let the favor fall in your lap? How do we deal with comparison and a desire for shortcuts to success? What does healthy promotion look like vs. an unhealthy self-promotion? When we don’t get our way or what we think is the best roadmap to success, what do we do with that?   We'll be discussing all of these questions in this week's Sermon of the Week!

In this episode, Bryan Seefried and Tommy Martinsen discuss wisdom from Proverbs surrounding the topic of finances and kingdom-focused work. 

This teaching is all about God being a Refiner's Fire in our lives, what we do with hardship, and how the Holy Spirit also moves within us with holy fire, that compels us into bold faith and power.

In this episode, Bryan Seefried and Tommy Martinsen discuss wisdom from Proverbs surrounding the topic of lust, sexuality, and how to approach it as a follower of Jesus. 

The most important thing in fulfilling your calling is to be led by the Spirit. Many Christians don't know how to follow the leading of God, but in this message Pastor Tommy looks at ways to identify how God is speaking and moving, in order to better follow His leadership. 

Larah Seefried joins Tommy Martinsen to discuss a biblical response to receiving and giving correction well. Who should we be receiving correction from? How will correction feel? Is it ok if it hurts a little? What is a good culture of humility?

Week 1 of our Greenhouse Homegroups Series // Unveiling Wisdom and Discernment: Navigating Life's Difficulties // This week we talk how to approach anxiety with God's wisdom.

The Holy Spirit is invisible – but the way that we “see” God is how he demonstrates himself by what He does. The ways that God shows up are the ways that he confirms the truth of who He is and the confirmation of the Gospel message.  Pastor Tommy teaches a short message followed by a gospel presentation by Bryce Crawford. 

Pastor Tommy bring us deeper in our series "Purpose & Passion," revealing what the primary message of our lives is as followers of Jesus: Christ and Him Crucified. One of the main reasons we have to keep the cross at the center of our life message is that the cross releases the supernatural grace of God into every area of our lives.  The supernatural grace of God is an invitation – it brings us to the end of our own wisdom and righteousness in our own strength — to show us that our own...

In our series "Purpose & Passion: Igniting Personal and Community Vision," Pastor Tommy desires to set you on fire with the all-consuming fire and passion of Jesus, and to find vision for your own life and part of the greater church body and regional move of God – to discover what you were born for and what that looks like operating in vision-filled community with a sharpened aim and focus to bring the Kingdom of God.

Jesus is the fulfilled longing for peace we all deeply crave. The amount of revelation that we have as we BEHOLD the Son of God at Christmas, the direct result will be a flooding of that perfect peace and loving light into our hearts as we BEHOLD, TREASURE, and PONDER this glorious truth. A savior has been born. Come, see, receive. 

Does your calling feels too intimidating? Maybe you feel unqualified or even disqualified to what you believe God is drawing you into...  In this message, we look at Luke 1, which gives us a look into Mary’s process of hearing some complicated, life-changing news, and what her response would be as it settled, and it serves as a model for us in our moments of doubt where we need faith ignited. 

In this week's message, we look at Isaiah 9's prophetic call of a Savior who would be a dawning of a light in the middle of our darkness. He is our eternal hope. 

And in an incredible way, the last paragraph of John 5, Jesus himself answers from his own mouth - answering THE QUESTION - WHY you can trust who He is. In this week's sermon, we look at 6 reasons you can trust Jesus.

How do we live in the tension of truth and mystery and maintain trust? In this week's sermon, Pastor Tommy unpacks Scripture and practical ways to engage with trusting God in the middle of uncertainty. 

Jesus longs to fill your life with fresh hope and purpose when we often feel we're running dry. In this week's sermon, we look at the story of the paralytic man at the Pool of Bethesda from John 5, and how Jesus brought miraculous hope to the hopeless. Jesus is still miraculously changing lives. See how we can posture ourselves to encounter Him in hope this week.
