Family & Ministry | The Mancha's

A while back, just after dinner I sat down and talked with my grandparents Daniel & Linda Mancha about their time in ministry. How being asked to leave one church because of being spirit filled Christians brought them into a local Church that was going to be a vehicle for change for a local community in Los Angeles. In this episode we talk mainly about how walking into a Church and being the only Hispanic family didn't matter because they knew the Lord had lead them there and then we talk about their time church planting, pioneering and taking over a Church that needed healing here in the USA. We talk briefly about them getting ready to go into Russia as missionaries - but get further in depth in the next episode. They pastored churches in #inglewood #hawthorne and #elmonte and planted 3 churches into other cities during their time as Pastors.

Family & Ministry | Albert Menchaca

Sat down with my cousin @alskieuno who grew up in a Christian home but found himself far from the Lord at one point in his life. We talk about how the Holy Spirit never stopped speaking to him even when he wasn’t involved in Church. We also share some of our family history and issues with alcoholism. Albert and our other cousin Raymond also have @extendedfamilyapparel ; a lifestyle brand that reaches out those struggling with #ptsd . You can listen to their podcast on all streaming platforms and give them a follow @putthestressdownpodcast

NWLAChurch | Love is.. more than meets the eye

Desire - is not love. Love is more than meets the eye. Love has a depth.Desire has an impulse.
1 John 2:15-1715 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.

NWLA CHURCH | Love is...

February 14th, 2021
John 3:16-17 says : 
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
 
Love is defined by God.

Relationships | Managing expectations

Vanessa and I sit down and go through some exercises that allow us to address our expectations. If you're married or single - expectations that are not communicated can lead to distorted perceptions of most relationships.

NWLA Church | First Series Final

Matthew 13:44-46 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.”
.
When you find the truth - you have to put your life into first gear.
Movement has to happen.
You can’t just roll and hope for the best. No matter how much you hope to accelerate you have not put the right things into the right places. First - is the place that God needs to be in order for your life to move forward. Is the truth of the Gospel in the place that it needs to be? What treasure is first in your life?
