What makes you feel powerful? Is it agency? Control? Influence? Money? All of these things *can* make you feel powerful, but they pale in comparison to the power that Jesus promised we would receive through the Holy Spirit! In this message, Pastor Ricky Ortiz shares how we can tap into the power the Holy Spirit provides.

We often show up for the highs of faith — the Easter Sundays, the mountaintop moments, the emotional breakthroughs — but when it comes to the everyday call to live on mission for Jesus, we quietly check out.

In this powerful Easter message, Ricky cuts straight to the heart of something most of us feel but rarely say out loud: we don't just want to be alive, we want to feel alive.

In the closing message of CUT DIFFERENT, Pastor Krista Ortiz shares what it means to be a person of integrity. Using the life of King David, Krista breaks down for us what integrity is and what it isn't.

In this message, Pastor Ricky Ortiz offers a timely and practical word about why what you do repeatedly matters more than what you intend to do occasionally.

Have you ever thought about the importance of applying standards to your faith? It might be worth considering because your character and righteousness depend on it!

What if the reason your life isn't standing out has everything to do with what you actually believe — not what you say you believe?

If you've been asking yourself how to build a stronger faith, how to trust God for the impossible, or how to see God truly move in your life, this message is for you!

Have you ever had unwavering faith, prayed with everything inside of you, and still watched God not come through the way you believed He would?

In this message, Pastor Krista Ortiz walks you through what it looks like to keep exercising your faith and building the kind of faith that causes God to respond on your behalf.

Do you want to "go deeper" in your faith? Well, here's what you need to know: Deep faith isn't about knowledge. It's about ACTION. If you want to build great faith, it's going to require that you take action.

In this powerful message, Ricky challenges a common misconception that trips up many young Christians today: just because you're familiar with Jesus doesn't mean you actually know Him.

Ever wonder why your faith feels stuck? In this message, Ricky breaks down the one thing most Christians miss when trying to build breakthrough faith—and it's probably not what you think!

Have you ever wondered what kind of faith moves Jesus to action? Gleaning from Matthew 8 and 9, Pastor Ricky Ortiz identifies a very simple phrase Jesus spoke that reveals the secret to breakthrough faith. 

2025 was a year of great significance and consequence for Meta Church. After 8+ years of planting church, 2025 was the year that the game changed!

The name Immanuel—"God is with us"—isn't just a nice theological concept. It's the reality that Jesus refused to be God without us. Our sin separated us from God, but His love refused to leave us isolated. Jesus's arrival means you never have to face a single day, moment, or situation alone.

There's nothing worse than receiving a gift at Christmas that you have no use for. Fortunately, the meaning and the message of Christmas is that God above has given to the world the most significant and meaningful gift possible!

In this powerful message, Ricky tackles one of the most universal struggles we face today—feeling insignificant in a world that constantly tells us we're not enough.

What if you finally stepped into the dream God has for you, only to watch it crumble because of choices you made? In this powerful conclusion to the JOSEPH series, Ricky delivers a sobering yet hopeful message about how to sustain the dreams God gives us.

Have you ever wondered why life had to be so hard? Why you had to walk through that painful season, face that betrayal, or survive those years that felt like a prison?
