Pastor Granillo: He Is Risen Indeed!
By Pastor RAUL GRANILLOHe Is Risen Indeed!
I love watching movies, especially ones that chronicle the transformation of a character. I do not just like the kind where you initially dislike a character but at the movie’s conclusion they suddenly do something that redeems their moral character. Those are fine but they are so predictable that they are cliché.
No, I really look forward to the movie that does a great job of getting the audience to really dislike a character and then, through revelation of their life and their experiences, you find that your dislike has transformed into empathy. Read More

Pastor Granillo: Embracing The Big Picture
By Pastor RAUL GRANILLOI can relate to poor ol’ Peter in the Bible. He means well but has a tendency of putting his foot in his mouth at all the wrong times. I think I relate to him because I see so many of us “regular folk” in his methods and in his heart. He loves Jesus, he knows Jesus is the Messiah, he anticipates all the great things that are being done through Jesus; but when Jesus tells him something that doesn’t fit into his picture of what God is supposed to do, Peter actually pulls Him aside and rebukes Him! (Mark 8:31-32).
Can you imagine hearing God say one thing and then you pull Him to the Read More

A.W. Tozer once said, “The Word of God well understood and religiously obeyed is the shortest route to spiritual perfection. And we must not select a few favorite passages to the exclusion of others. Nothing less than a whole Bible can make a whole Christian.”
In the same way that a puzzle’s picture cannot be fully seen without all of the pieces, the scriptures in the Bible cannot be fully understood unless they are in context with the rest of the Bible.
Paul tells Timothy that the holy Scriptures, “are able to make you wise for salvation Read More
