The Secret to Promotion

Pastor Ben Diaz
 

In Sunday’s message, Pastor Ben powerfully unpacked the principle of humility, drawing from
Philippians 2:3-4: “Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.” 

He reminded us that our worth isn’t tied to our achievements—it’s rooted in the ultimate price Jesus paid on the cross. The magnitude of that sacrifice leaves no room for pride. When we elevate ourselves above others, we lose the heart to serve and instead expect to be served. 

Jesus is the perfect model of humility. Though He was God, He didn’t cling to His divine status but submitted to His Father’s will and served mankind, by laying down His life for us. Because of His humility, He was exalted to the highest position of all! Pastor Ben captured this truth in this: “The way up is down!” Honor and promotion comes not from chasing recognition but from a heart of humble service. 

Luke 14:11 says, “Those who humble themselves will be exalted.” Pastor Ben urged us to recognize that refusing to learn from others, or thinking we know it all, is a form of pride. True growth happens only with a humble heart. 

He also emphasized that humility allows us to submit to one another, not as a sign of lesser value, but as a recognition of God’s leadership order. We only enter the kingdom of God by His grace, not our works—understanding this truth empowers us to walk in humility and serve others. 

Humility is the attitude that leads to promotion. Meekness—restraining our strength—is the action behind it. When we stop striving for recognition and focus on serving others, that’s when God steps in to elevate us. 

Pastor Ben challenged us to examine our hearts: Are we living in pride or walking in humility? To dive deeper into this powerful message, watch the full sermon here.

Fear: The Enemy Within

By Benjamin Diaz • May 18, 2025
Pastor Ben walked us through the story of the Israelites. As they journeyed through the wilderness, they were like baby believers—learning who their God was. He performed spectacular miracles for them: parting the Red Sea, raining down manna, bringing water from a rock. But when they reached the edge of the Promised Land, it was time for them to grow up. This time, God wasn’t going to do everything for them—He wanted to do it with them.

Temor: El Enemigo Interior

By Benjamin Diaz • May 18, 2025
El pastor Ben nos guió a través de la historia de los israelitas. Mientras viajaban por el desierto, eran como creyentes jóvenes: aprendían quién era su Dios. Él realizó milagros espectaculares para ellos: dividió el Mar Rojo, hizo llover maná, sacó agua de una roca. Pero cuando llegaron al borde de la Tierra Prometida, llegó el momento de que maduraran. Esta vez, Dios no iba a hacerlo todo por ellos; quería hacerlo con ellos.

What Does a Woman of The Kingdom Look Like?

By Benjamin Diaz • May 11, 2025
In celebration of Mother’s Day, Pastor Ben shared a powerful message on the value and divine design of women. He reminded us that when God saw man alone—He took woman out of man, creating her equal, but different. Pastor said it best, “Women are equally powerful, divinely different.”

Cómo Es Una Mujer del Reino?

By Benjamin Diaz • May 11, 2025
Para celebrar el Día de las Madres, el pastor Ben compartió un poderoso mensaje sobre el valor y el diseño divino de la mujer. Nos recordó que cuando Dios vio al hombre solo, sacó a la mujer del hombre, creándola igual, pero diferente. El pastor lo expresó con claridad: «Las mujeres son igualmente poderosas, divinamente diferentes».

Cómo Mantenemos el Juicio Fuera de Nuestros Corazones?

By Kara Diaz • May 4, 2025
En este mensaje, la pastora Kara se centró en uno de esos principios: sembrar y cosechar, especialmente en el área del juicio vs. la misericordia. Jesús cargó con todo el peso del juicio de Dios sobre sí mismo. No vino a condenarnos, así que nosotros tampoco debemos juzgar a los demás. Estamos llamados a sembrar misericordia, porque lo que sembramos se nos multiplica.

How do we Keep Judgment out of our Hearts

By Kara Diaz • May 4, 2025
In this message, Pastor Kara focused on one of those principles: sowing and reaping, especially in the area of judgment vs. mercy. Jesus took the full weight of God’s judgment on Himself. He didn’t come to condemn us—so we’re not to judge others either. We’re called to sow mercy, because what we sow is multiplied back to us.

Releasing the Supernatural in Your Life Today!

By Benjamin Diaz • April 27, 2025
All throughout Jesus’ ministry on earth, He gave example after example of the Kingdom of Heaven. Pastor explained, “it’s kind of like a video game—you’ve got to crack the code, figure out the algorithm, and learn the rules of how it works.” The good news is, we don’t have to wait until we get to heaven to experience God’s Kingdom—we’re called to live with the supernatural impact and power of the Kingdom right now, here on earth. Pastor described it as living with “One hand in heaven, one hand reaching out to others, and our eyes always locked on Jesus.”

Liberando lo Sobrenatural En Tu Vida Hoy!

By Benjamin Diaz • April 27, 2025
A lo largo de su ministerio terrenal, Jesús dio un ejemplo tras otro del Reino de los Cielos. El pastor explicó: «Es como un videojuego: tienes que descifrar el código, entender el algoritmo y aprender las reglas de su funcionamiento». La buena noticia es que no tenemos que esperar a llegar al cielo para experimentar el Reino de Dios; estamos llamados a vivir con el impacto y el poder sobrenaturales del Reino ahora mismo, aquí en la tierra. El pastor lo describió como vivir con «Una mano en el cielo, una mano tendiendo a los demás, y la mirada siempre fija en Jesús».

He Isn't Here

By Benjamin Diaz • April 20, 2025
“He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying.” — Matthew 28:6 If Jesus hadn’t risen from the dead, we’d be just another religion with a set of beliefs. But we serve a living Savior! Jesus overcame death by the power of God—and that same power now lives in us who believe. He wants to work through us to heal the sick, raise the dead, and be vessels for miracles, signs, and wonders—so that the world will know the depth of God’s love and the power of His forgiveness.

No Te Acuerdas?

By Benjamin Diaz • April 20, 2025
No está aquí! Ha resucitado de entre los muertos, tal como dijo que sucedería. Vengan, vean dónde yacía su cuerpo. Mateo 28:6 Si Jesús no hubiera resucitado de entre los muertos, seríamos solo otra religión con un conjunto de creencias. ¡Pero servimos a un Salvador vivo! Jesús venció a la muerte por el poder de Dios, y ese mismo poder ahora vive en nosotros, los que creemos. Él quiere obrar a través de nosotros para sanar a los enfermos, resucitar a los muertos y ser instrumentos de milagros, señales y prodigios, para que el mundo conozca la profundidad del amor de Dios y el poder de su perdón.
