#KnowYourWorthAtHome
“Do you realize that the only time the wife of Lot is mentioned is when she looks back and is turned to a pillar of salt. What does that tell you about the structure of that home? And wherever I go, especially when I'm preaching to in a women's ministry situation, I I emphasize to people, parents, don't let your son or daughter leave home without knowing their worth. Don't let them be defined by anybody out there speaking false prophecies on them. Let them know that they were good enough to die for.”

“But there is an invitation for us to sit with people through our struggles. And as Keith mentioned, the church was supporting was supporting the church in resources and in other ways of financial giving. So what we see is the Philippi church honors and models this generosity. Right? This withstanding with Paul through his trials. And we also see that Paul models gratitude for this church's generosity. He receives it. He accepts and trusts the love of the church.”

#WhoWeAreInChrist
“You see, it's not who where we meet, but who we are that makes all the difference. Do you see the connection there? It's not where we meet. It's who we are. Right? It's who we believe in. It's not where we come from. Do you see this? All of this connecting together. It's who we are in Christ Jesus. It's who we are as God's new people that makes all the difference. And the who we are isn't static, but a vibrant growing body of believers who are committed to God's big construction project in each other's lives.”

#sufferingasdiscipline
“But right now, while I'm here on this earth, as Jesus said, if they hated me, they're gonna hate you. Jesus said, if they persecuted me, they're gonna persecute you. I'm a believer of the old fashioned belief system that suffering is not a punishment of God, but suffering is a spiritual discipline. I believe the words of Jesus Christ when he said, take up your cross and follow me.”
33s
#LifeStorms
“Storm comes into our lives in many forms and shapes. Sometimes financially, we go bankrupt. Sometimes relationally, we go into conflict. Sometimes emotionally, we go into depression. Sometimes nothing is wrong outside, but inside there is an unrest, a turbulence, something's missing.”
24s
#SacrificialLove
“It was hard and it took a toil on me but again, that's what sacrificial love looked like. Believers, I want you to know that loving the church, the sacrifice is necessary. That's how God designed it. God designed for loving the church to be communicated not in word only but in giving our lives.”
39s
#StoneRolledAway
“Take just a moment and ponder this question. What old thing in your life might God want to remove or transform so that new life can emerge? Now think about the empty tomb. It wasn't just a cave without a body. It was a sign. God had rolled the stone away saying, I am bringing life where there was only death.”
53s
#TrustGodsTiming
“And the the the words can be sweet, but in years to come, the same lip that told you all those beautiful things could spew such venom on you that it could destroy just by hearing what they could tell you. My friends, for some reason, wait on the Lord. He's mentioned several times in scripture. Don't be in a hurry. God may not come when you think he should, but he's never late. He's always on time. You can trust his timing.”
81s
#LetChildrenMature
“Because I've been to different places, in country and out of country, I've noticed that some of us, in some cultures especially, believe that if your daughter does not get married by a certain age, It's a shame. Oh, this should never be. Listen. I've heard them use phrases like, girl, don't let the train leave you. What train are we talking about? I have said to them, I would rather see the train leave you than run over you. Don't don't rush your children out of the home. Neither boys nor girls. Let them let them mature at home. Let them get a good look at themselves. Let them learn their self value before sending them out for the wolves to destroy.”
64s
#DoctrinesRevealLove
“``So I challenge you. Take a doctrine. Take any doctrine. Don't proof text it. Prove to me, prove to yourself, prove to someone else how it reveals God's love. Why does it matter? Why do our beliefs matter? Why is it important for us to understand our beliefs? It's not just about Sabbath. It's not just about going to church on the right day. It's not just about having a health message. It's not just about how we take care of our bodies. Those are just rules and regulations. Rules and regulations have never changed a heart. Every understanding, every theological fundamental belief is big words, every doctrine, every way that we could ever look at scripture needs to reveal God's love.”

Why Alhambra churches are unique

Set in the heart of the San Gabriel Valley, churches in Alhambra reflect the city’s cosmopolitan mix of Chinese, Taiwanese, and Latino communities, shaping worship languages and cultural rhythms. It’s common to encounter blended services, community meals, and practical helps like ESL or citizenship prep alongside Bible teaching, including bilingual English and Mandarin services, Spanish-language congregations with translation, and cross-cultural community outreach.
Alhambra’s family-oriented neighborhoods and multi-generational households encourage ministries that nurture every age, from nursery to teens. Proximity to Cal State LA and nearby campuses also means Alhambra churches invest in mentorship and weeknight meetups that connect students and young professionals with spiritual community, often through small groups—look for strong kids programs for young families, college student ministries, and young adults and professionals.
Geographically compact and walkable, the city’s corridors like Main Street and Valley Boulevard foster congregations that gather in both historic sanctuaries and adaptive storefront spaces, making worship easy to access by foot or transit. To serve commuters and varied schedules, many Alhambra churches offer multiple gatherings and music styles, from liturgical to pop-influenced praise, highlighted by multiple service times and venues, modern worship with contemporary band, and historic sanctuary architecture.
