As we begin this new year, many of us feel a renewed sense of optimism and determination. We will flourish instead of merely survive. Pastor Carlos Rivera gives us three Keys to Thrive in '25!

Fasting is one of the most influential spiritual disciplines we can practice. Prayer, combined with fasting, shuts out the things of the flesh, even its basic needs, to open more fully to the things of the Spirit through communion with God. As you make fasting a part of your life, you'll start seeing a huge impact.

Start the new year by incorporating these discipline boosters into your routine. This will strengthen your relationship with God and help you grow in your faith throughout the year.

God is eager for us to use our words to bring encouragement and strength to life. Today use your words to praise Him, to give Him glory and honor by preaching the gospel and sharing the love of Christ. Share the true meaning of Christmas and remember that God is paying attention to what you say.

Carlos Rivera examines the spiritual and communal benefits of confessing our sins and struggles to God and one another.

Carlos Rivera helps us discover how simple acts of kindness and unwavering faith can create lasting positive experiences, deepen our spiritual journey, and spread God's light in everyday moments.

Persecution may come in various forms, but let it strengthen your determination to live out your faith and share it with others. Despite any hardships, trust in God and remain dedicated to spreading your faith, serving as an inspiration for your community.

God loved us so much that He was willing to sacrifice His Son to save us. This is the central tenet of our Christian lives. Carlos Rivera reignites our Gospel passion with this beautiful truth – “He paid a debt He did not owe because I owed a debt I could not pay.”
