Deciding to Engage
What if your home became the center of spiritual growth, hope, and transformation for your family? This weekend, Pastor Andy Wood kicks off Fight For Your Family with a bold challenge to wake up and take charge against the battles facing our families. God has a powerful design for the family, and when we follow his lead, our lives flourish. Through Nehemiah 4, Pastor Andy calls us to pick up our tools, build strong foundations, and fight for the future of our families. This message will fire you up to protect what matters most and bring God's Word and power into your everyday life.

Life is Better in Community
This weekend marks a historic moment as Saddleback launches a new Small Groups system designed to make finding connection simple and life-giving. Pastor Stacie Wood teaches us that God created us to live in community, not in isolation. Looking at the example of the early church in Acts, Pastor Stacie shows how both large worship gatherings and smaller, house-to-house communities are essential for spiritual growth. Small groups are where we are truly known, supported, and strengthened in faith.

The Power of Neighboring
Pastor Andy Wood teaches us that God gives extraordinary power to ordinary people to accomplish his will. Looking at the story of Peter and John in Acts 4, we learn how God equips and empowers us to step out in faith. When we rely on his power, incredible change can happen. In this message, learn what God can do through the power of your testimony, his Word, his Spirit, and the Resurrection of Jesus.
