Sermon: The Speck In Your Own Eye – Feb 1, 2026 Scripture: Matthew 7:1-6 1. 👀 Check your heart before you check othersJesus reminds us that it’s easy to spot the speck in someone else’s life while ignoring the log in our own. Judgment often feels justified, but it blinds us to our own need for grace and healing. 2. ❤️ Judgment pushes away, humility draws closeWe can’t heal what we only judge. True accountability is rooted in humility, relationship, and love—not moral superiority. Grace creates space for transformation; condemnation builds barriers. 3. 🙏 Replace judgment with prayer and discernmentSpiritual maturity turns criticism into intercession. Prayer invites God to work where judgment never can, reminding us that every soul is precious and change happens through love, not shame. #TheSpeckInYourOwnEye #GraceOverJudgment #HeartPosture #LoveLikeJesus #PrayerChangesThings #HealingNotCondemnation #PastorPhilDiaz #GreencastleNazarene #ChurchoftheNazarene #Matthew7

Jan 18, 2026 Sermon: A Faith That Shows Up Scripture: James 2:14-26 1. 🙌 Real faith is more than words—it reshapes how we live. Faith isn’t just believing the right things about God; it’s trusting Him so fully that our choices, priorities, and actions are transformed. If faith never shows up in our lives, we have to ask whether it ever truly moved in. 2. 👣 Belief alone isn’t enough—faith produces obedience. James reminds the church that even demons believe in God, but true faith is proven through action. Real faith shows up in compassion, generosity, forgiveness, resisting sin, and saying “yes” to God even when it costs us something. 3. 🔥 We are saved by grace, but saved for good works. Biblical examples like Abraham and Rahab show that faith and action work together. Obedience isn’t the root of salvation—it’s the fruit. A living faith takes a step, sits in the chair, and moves forward trusting God to hold us. ✨ Real faith always shows up. #FaithThatShowsUp #RealFaith #James2 #FaithInAction #TrustAndObey #LivingFaith #FollowJesus

Date: Sunday, January 11, 2026 Sermon: Grace Before You Knew It Scripture: Ephesians 2:1-10 Grace Was at Work Before You Ever Believed 🙌 Long before we recognized God—or even knew what to call His presence—God’s grace was already moving. What once looked like luck, coincidence, or “just life” was actually prevenient grace: God acting toward us before we could act toward Him. Grace always moves first. 💡 We Were Once Dead, but God Made Us Alive ✝️ Paul reminds us in Ephesians 2 that we were spiritually dead because of sin—unable to rescue ourselves. But then come the two life-changing words: “But God.” Rich in mercy and great in love, God brought us from death to life through Jesus—not because of our efforts, but purely by His grace. ❤️ Grace Saves, Sustains, and Transforms Us 🌱 Grace doesn’t stop at salvation. The same grace that saves us continues to shape us, grow us in holiness, and empower us to live as God’s masterpiece. We are not self-made—we are grace-formed, created anew to live out the good works God planned long ago. 🎨✨ #GraceBeforeYouKnewIt #GodsGrace #PrevenientGrace #ButGod #SavedByGrace #Ephesians2 #GodsMasterpiece #GraceAlwaysMovesFirst

🌀 This Changes Everything | Jan 4, 2026 1. 🔁 Real transformation begins with real surrender — not resolutions or trying harder, but fully offering our lives to God as a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1). 2. 🧠 God transforms us by renewing our minds — refusing the patterns of the world and allowing Jesus to change how we think, live, and trust (Romans 12:2). 3. 🔥 True worship is a surrendered life — when we give God the “chair” of our hearts, He brings lasting freedom, growth, and purpose. ✨ When we surrender completely, God renews us completely — and this changes everything. #ThisChangesEverything #LivingSacrifice #Romans12 #NewYearNewHeart #SurrenderToGod #MindRenewal #FaithTransformation #Holiness #JesusChangesLives

📌 Sermon: The Year That God Carried Me — Dec 28, 2025 Scripture: Deuteronomy 1:29–31 • God carried us when we had no strength of our own Through grief, fear, unanswered prayers, and hard seasons, it wasn’t our strength that got us through — it was His sustaining grace. He didn’t just walk beside us… He carried us like a Father carries His child. 🙌💛 • Fear may speak, but God is faithful Like Israel on the edge of the Promised Land (Deuteronomy 1:29-31), our fears try to convince us God will fail… but He never does. He has fought for us before, and He will again. ✝️🛡️ • Our testimony of 2025: We made it because God refused to put us down We survived not by our wisdom or strength, but because God was holding us when we could not hold ourselves. He is faithful — even when we are not. 🙏🤍 #GodCarriedMe #GraceInTheWilderness #DoNotBeAfraid #FaithOverFear #Testimony #CarriedByGod #GodIsFaithful #greencastlechurchofthenazarene

✨ Sermon: The Wonder of Love (Dec 21, 2025) ✨ Scripture: John 1:1-14 ❤️ Christmas Is God’s Love Made VisibleJohn 1 reminds us that Jesus is the Word made flesh—God Himself stepping into our world. Christmas isn’t just a story told; it’s love shown. We never have to wonder if God loves us, because He proved it through Jesus. ✨👶 🌟 Light Shines in the DarknessJesus, the true Light, entered a broken and sinful world, and the darkness could not overcome Him. God’s love doesn’t stay distant—it meets us right where we are, offering hope, peace, joy, and forgiveness. 💡🕊️ ✝️ Love That Invites a ResponseGod’s love is a gift offered to all. Through Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, we are invited to become children of God—not because we earned it, but because we are loved.

✨ Sermon Title: “The Stillness of Peace” ✨ Sermon Scripture: Luke 2:8-14 🕊️ Peace Reaches the OrdinaryGod chose shepherds—simple, overlooked people—to receive the announcement of Jesus’ birth. His peace breaks into our fears, our fatigue, and our chaos, meeting us exactly where we are. 🕊️Peace Replaces Fear Through the Good NewsThe angel’s words “Don’t be afraid” remind us that heaven’s answer to our fear is the gospel of Jesus Christ. When His name is spoken into our anxieties, fear loosens its grip and joy begins to rise. 🕊️ Peace Flows From Jesus AloneTrue peace isn’t manufactured—it’s found in the Savior. When Jesus is Lord within us, the storms around us lose their power to define us. His presence brings calm to our chaos and stillness to our souls. #PeaceForAll #GodWithUs #GoodNews #DoNotBeAfraid #PrinceOfPeace #HeartAtRest #pastorphildiaz #greencastlechurchofthenazarene #faithinaction

In this powerful Advent session, Pastor Phil Diaz explores The Christmas Story from Matthew 1:18–25 and why the birth of Jesus is far more than a seasonal tradition. It is the moment heaven stepped into human history with purpose, redemption, and hope. We unpack the tension between the commercial version of Christmas and the holy, world-changing reality of Jesus’ arrival. Through Joseph’s obedience, Mary’s courage, and God’s divine intervention, we discover a Savior who enters real life—not imaginary perfection. Tonight we explore three truths: 1️⃣ Christmas Reveals God’s Real Plan — God works in real moments, real fears, real uncertainty. 2️⃣ Christmas Shows a Different Kingdom — Jesus arrives not in power, but in humility, reshaping our understanding of true kingship. 3️⃣ Christmas Begins the Salvation Story — Bethlehem is the opening chapter of the greatest rescue mission ever launched. Join us as we rediscover the wonder of Immanuel—God with us, and experience how the Christmas story still transforms hearts today. 🙏 Includes a guided A.C.T.S. prayer, Scripture reading, and a hope-filled closing message. 📌 If this encourages you, be sure to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE so others can experience church anywhere.
