CURRENT SERMON SERIES:

The gods We Trust

Many assume the Bay Area is becoming less religious, but the truth is we have not stopped worshipping; we have simply changed what we worship. In a culture shaped by innovation, prosperity, comfort, and the pursuit of happiness, we often look to technology, success, and self-determination to give us meaning, identity, and security. These things promise freedom and fulfillment, but when they take God’s place in our hearts, they become counterfeit gods that cannot ultimately satisfy us. The Bible teaches that every human heart is wired for worship, and whatever we trust most will shape the way we live. In this series, we will expose the idols of our culture and see how the living God confronts them through Jesus Christ, offering a deeper freedom, a truer identity, and a hope that no achievement or prosperity could ever provide.
