COMMUNITY News:Pastor Raul Granillo: Confronting Reality
The love of Christ should always compel the true Christian to serve, to nurture, and otherwise to give of themselves for the sake of others. John Wesley once wrote, “The Gospel of CHRIST knows of no Religion, but Social; no Holiness but Social Holiness. Faith, working by Love, is the length and breadth and depth and height of Christian Perfection.”
There is hardly a person who would argue the benefits to mankind when we feed, clothe, or give water to our neighbor; but what can be done to make a long term, or even an eternal difference in the life of others? This is the Read More
Pastor Granillo: Crossing The River
Pastor RAUL GRANILLO“It is impossible for that man to despair who remembers that his Helper is omnipotent.” –Jeremy Taylor
God had rescued the Israelites from Egypt. To do this, He inflicted plagues upon Egypt, He had parted the sea for the Israelites to pass through, He provided manna in the morning and quail in the evening for them to eat, and He brought water out of the rock for them to drink. God had saved the people and become their provider; and He did this in order to take them into a land that was “flowing with milk and honey.”
The land of Canaan was the land God planned to give the Israelites, Read More

By Pastor RAUL GRANILLOWhen we were kids, my mom had rules that we had to follow. They were nothing out of the ordinary: be in by 6 p.m. on a school night, always let her know where we were, no dessert unless we ate all our vegetables, do our chores and homework before going out to play, etc.
Like I said, there was nothing really out of the ordinary about them, but my siblings and I sure hated having rules. I couldn’t wait until I was an adult and I would be free from the oppressive rule of my parents. I would stay out as late as I wanted; I would go wherever I wanted—whenever I wanted; I would never make Read More

By Pastor RAUL GRANILLOHe that is not jealous is not in love. —St. Augustine
Being called jealous is not typically a compliment. When people are considered to be jealous, they are thought to be in a state of mind that is ugly, selfish, insecure, and even harmful. These are things that are in direct contrast to what we think of when we think of love; so it can be very difficult for us to reconcile jealousy with love. But does that really mean they are in opposition?
What jealousy implies, or reveals about us, is likely the reason we don’t think very highly of it. Consider this, if you are the person Read More
