Commissioned as Vida Church!

Today we share — in English and Español — why a 97-year-old church has become Vida Church, having received a bold new commission from God.

In this gathering, we celebrate the new thing God is doing while reaffirming our mission to be one church, worshiping Jesus in two languages. Drawing from God's Word, we explore our four-part commission: to be people of the Spirit, who speak life, following God where we've never gone before, while pursuing radical unity.

Join in if you'd like to discover more about the Santa Maria Foursquare Church embracing this new, bold chapter in our long and rich story. And we invite you to come and be a part of what God is doing — interculturally — in Northwest Santa Maria.

Anchored to the Word: Ephesians 3:20-21

God doesn’t just want you to survive — He wants your life to overflow with His presence, His joy, His peace, and His power. In Ephesians 3:20–21, Paul declares that God is “able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us.” This isn’t a distant promise — it’s a present reality. God’s power is already at work in you.

In this message, Pastor Joel shares three ways to step into that kind of life:
• Knowing the Goal
• Trusting His Promise
• Living by His Power

SOON TO BE VIDA CHURCH

Anchored to the Word: Matthew 11:28-30

Life is heavy sometimes. We carry burdens of pain, loss, guilt, stress, or just the weight of trying to hold everything together. But in Matthew 11:28–30, Jesus gives us an invitation: “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” He doesn’t just offer us comfort — He offers us an exchange.

In this message, you’ll hear the story of how Jesus met Josh in the middle of deep hurt, grief, and anger, and turned those burdens into blessings. This is the same invitation He extends to each of us: to lay down what we can’t carry and receive His life, His peace, and His love in return.

You’ll learn:
• Three exchanges that Jesus offers
• Why following Jesus isn’t about carrying more — it’s about learning His unforced rhythms of grace
• How the Holy Spirit walks with us daily, helping us in weakness and reminding us we are never alone
• Why God isn’t afraid of our questions, doubts, or pain — He invites us to bring it all to Him

Anchored to the Word: Psalms 46:10

You don’t have to hold it all together. So many of us live like the weight of the world is on our shoulders—striving, fixing, doing, and running at a pace we were never meant to sustain. But the truth is that stillness isn’t laziness. It’s surrender. It’s trading our endless striving for the deep security of knowing God. It’s choosing to anchor ourselves in His unshakable presence when everything around us feels uncertain.

 

In this message, we explore what it means to truly know (yada) God—deeply, personally, and fully. Not just knowing about Him, but walking with Him, trusting Him, and letting His Word and Spirit shape us from the inside out.

 

You’ll learn:
• Why God calls us to stop striving and start trusting
• Four ways to truly know God: receive, rely, read, and remember
• How prayer—spoken or silent—draws us into deeper intimacy with Him
• Why anchoring your life to God’s Word steadies you in every storm

Anchored to the Word: Ephesians 2:8-10

You don’t have to earn what God already gave you.

So many of us live like salvation is something we need to work for — like if we do enough, serve enough, or get it all right, then we’ll be accepted by God. But this week’s message from Ephesians 2:8–10 flips that upside down.

The truth? You are saved by grace, through faith — not by works. It’s a gift. Not a paycheck. Not a reward. Just grace.

In this message, we explore how easy it is to stumble over that truth — just like the Israelites did. Instead of trusting in God’s grace, they tried to earn their way into His love. But that kind of striving leads to burnout, not breakthrough. Jesus isn’t a barrier in your way — He’s the rock you can stand on. And when you stand in His grace, everything changes.

You’ll learn:
• Why “being good enough” is a myth that keeps us stuck
• How God’s grace frees us from striving and shame
• What it means to be God’s handiwork — created with intention and purpose
• Why the gospel isn’t just about what you’re saved from — but what you’re saved for

You were made on purpose, for a purpose. God’s not asking you to prove yourself — He’s inviting you to trust Him, walk with Him, and live out the good works He’s already planned for you.

This is a message for the tired, the burned out, the perfectionists, and the overachievers — anyone who needs to remember that grace is the starting line, not the finish.

Anchored to the Word: James 1:2-4

What if the trials you’re facing are actually growing something deeper in you?

Life is full of challenges—but what if those trials aren’t meant to break you, but to build you? In this week’s message, we look at “The Truth About Trials” through the lens of James 1:2–4, which invites us to “consider it pure joy” when we face difficulties—not because trials are easy, but because they have a purpose.

God uses every storm, setback, and struggle to develop perseverance, proven character, and a faith that stands firm. Trials don’t mean God is absent—in fact, He’s often most at work in our hardest moments, preparing us for what’s ahead and producing in us something eternal.

You’ll discover:
• Why trials are inevitable in the life of every believer
• How to shift your mindset and embrace God’s purpose in pain
• What it means to grow in perseverance and maturity
• How faith is tested, strengthened, and rewarded through trials

This message isn’t about denying the pain—we acknowledge it. But through God’s Word, we find hope, perspective, and purpose in the middle of it.

Your trial has a purpose. Your perseverance has a promise. Your faith is being refined.

In this powerful message, discover how God’s Word can renew your mind and transform your life from the inside out.

Rooted in Romans 12:2 — “Do not conform to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…” — we explore how to break free from harmful thoughts, past trauma, and the lies of culture, and instead live with clarity, peace, and purpose through the truth of God’s Word. You’ll hear a powerful testimony of someone who battled deep wounds, shame, anxiety, and destructive thoughts—but who experienced total transformation when she encountered the renewing power of God’s truth.

In this message, you'll learn:
• Why your thought life shapes your destiny
• How God’s Word replaces lies with freedom and peace
• Practical steps to renew your mind daily through Scripture
• The healing and freedom available when we surrender our past to Jesus

This isn’t about quick fixes or self-help trends. It’s about lasting change that comes from allowing God to reshape the way we think—so we can walk in His will, which is good, pleasing, and perfect.

Watch now and let the renewal begin. Your mind matters. Your freedom is possible. Your life can be transformed.
