Sermon Replay | Back to the Beginning: Created on Purpose
Genesis 1:26-31 | Sermon by Pastor Mark Hunt
Who are you, really?
In this message, Pastor Mark Hunt reminds us that our identity is not found in achievements, status, or the approval of others. It is found in the God who created us.
Genesis reveals that every person is made in God's image, with inherent dignity, value, and purpose. We do not have to earn our worth because we have already been created on purpose by a loving Creator.
Watch, be encouraged, and rediscover the identity and purpose God has given you.

New Sermon Series
To understand your life, you have to understand where it started.
Join us for a new sermon series through the opening chapters of Genesis as we explore God's original design for humanity, the source of our brokenness, and His plan for redemption. Together we'll discover what it means to be created on purpose, how God intended us to flourish, and why the beginning still matters today.
On Sunday, June 28, Union Church of Guatemala will have the privilege of commissioning Sadoc and Vivian Chongo and their family as they prepare to begin their new ministry assignment in Glasgow, Scotland.
As their sending church, we are grateful for the opportunity to pray over them, celebrate God's calling on their lives, and send them out with our blessing and support.
We invite our church family to join us for this special commissioning during our morning worship services. We will also receive a love offering that day to help support the Chongo family as they make this significant transition and begin this new chapter of ministry.
Please join us as we pray, encourage, and send the Chongos to serve Christ in Scotland.
"How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news." — Romans 10:15
Happy Father's Day to all the fathers and father figures who faithfully love, guide, and care for those God has placed in their lives!
Your strength, compassion, wisdom, and devotion are a reflection of the Father's heart, and your influence is a blessing that reaches far beyond what you can see. May God continue to strengthen and encourage you as you walk in His calling.
"As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him." Psalm 103:13 (NIV)

Sermon Replay | Love Speaks Best through Actions
1 John 3:18 | Sermon by Israel Rosas
Love is more than words. It is demonstrated through action.
In this message, Israel Rosas reminds us that genuine faith is expressed through compassion, generosity, forgiveness, and service to others. As followers of Christ, we are called to reflect God's love not only in what we say, but in how we live.
Watch, be encouraged, and ask yourself: How can I put God’s love into action this week?

It is easy to become weighed down by what is behind us. Past failures, regrets, disappointments, and missed opportunities can quietly keep us from moving forward. Yet in Christ, we are not called to live looking backward. We are invited to fix our eyes on Him and continue pressing forward toward the purpose He has for us.
The apostle Paul reminds us that while we cannot change what lies behind, we can choose to pursue what lies ahead. God's grace frees us from being defined by our past and empowers us to walk faithfully into the future He is preparing.
How can we live in this truth today?
• Let go of what is behind: “Forgetting what is behind…” (Philippians 3:13)
• Focus on God's calling ahead: “Straining toward what is ahead…” (Philippians 3:13)
• Keep your eyes on Christ: “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us” (Hebrews 12:1)
• Pursue His purpose each day: “I press on toward the goal...” (Philippians 3:14)
Following Christ means continually moving forward in faith. His mercies are new every morning, and His grace is greater than every failure, regret, or setback. Whatever is behind you, God's call remains before you.
"Father, help me release what is behind and press forward toward Your purpose for my life. Fix my eyes on Christ and give me strength to follow You faithfully each day."
