Even If...

Pastor Kara Diaz
 

Pastor Kara shared the story from Daniel chapter three, about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who stood firm in their faith when King Nebuchadnezzar demanded that everyone bow to a giant golden statue of him. Despite the threat of being thrown into a furnace, they boldly declared they would only worship God. Their fearless faith impacted the whole kingdom of Babylon! Your faith impresses God, too! 

 

In their response, they also demonstrated powerful hope. “Even if” God didn’t deliver them, they knew their eternal future was secure with Him. This unwavering trust in God’s love removed all fear from their hearts. Pastor Kara reminded us that perfect love casts out fear, and fear has no hold on us when we know God loves us unconditionally.

 

Pastor Kara gave a simple tool to dismantle fear: imagine the worst-case scenario, then ask, "Then what?" Keep asking, “Then what?" until you realize that the worst thing that can happen is spending eternity with Jesus! She also highlighted Paul’s courage in Philippians 1:21, where he declared, “For me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better.”

 

Pastor Kara challenged us to live with fearless faith, hope, and a deep awareness of God’s love. She said, “A little faith reaps miles of rewards with the LORD!” If we realized how powerful our faith-filled prayers are at moving God's hand, we would pray a lot more!

Como creyentes, fácilmente podemos mirar nuestras limitaciones naturales y decir: “Solo soy humano”. Pero las Escrituras nos dicen que algo profundo sucedió cuando entramos en Cristo. Fuimos hechos nuevas criaturas, participantes de Su naturaleza divina, y ahora el Espíritu de Dios habita dentro de nosotros.

Why You Shouldn't Be Saying "I'm Only Human" | Wendy Backlund

As believers, we can easily look at our natural limitations and say, “I’m just human.” But Scripture tells us that something profound happened when we came into Christ. We became new creations, participants in His divine nature, with the Spirit of God dwelling within us.

Niveles de Adoración: Más Que Música

By Benjamin Diaz • September 16, 2026
Podemos tener una banda completa, letras en las pantallas y músicos excelentes, pero la música por sí sola no es lo mismo que la adoración. Adorar implica una expectativa de que Jesús, el Rey de reyes, se manifieste en medio de nosotros.

Things You Didn't Know About Corporate Worship in The Church

By Benjamin Diaz • September 16, 2026
A full band, lyrics on a screen, and excellent musicianship can create beautiful music, but music by itself is not the same thing as worship. Worship carries an expectation that Jesus, the King of kings, will make Himself known in our midst.
