Pastor Granillo: All Powerful Access

Pastor RAUL GRANILLO
Los Alamos

Billy Sunday once said, “If you are strangers to prayer you are strangers to power.”

I confess that I have struggled with the importance of prayer in my Christian walk. I’m an action guy and I am driven to engage physically in whatever needs to be done. My struggle has been with the reality that I can accomplish more from my knees than from anywhere else. I struggle with this because my natural instincts tell me that being on my knees makes me weak, and to depend on God’s power is a gamble.

Even for the mature Christian, it can be difficult to grasp the fullness of God’s power. Read More

NNMRC: Four Week Biblical Worship Course

NNMRC News:
  • Four week course on Biblical worship
Many Christians today have a keen awareness that God has more for His people than we are currently experiencing. Jesus said that the Father Himself seeks out those who worship in spirit and in truth (John 4).
 
If that is indeed the case, is it possible that we are not experiencing God as He intends because our worship doesn’t inspire Him to seek us out? Is there more to worship than we have previously understood? Could there be a deeper level of intimacy with Him that He longs to share with us? What are the characteristics of worship that captivate

Pastor Granillo: Unless

By Pastor RAUL GRANILLO
Los Alamos

My father is a Mexican immigrant who came to America 40 years ago looking for an opportunity to reap the benefits of his hard work.

He raised us with the philosophy that a person should work hard and contribute to his family. Like millions of men everywhere, I try to implement that philosophy in my role as husband and father. However, there is one aspect of his philosophy that failed my father and his family—he tried doing it through his own will and strength.

Jesus’ disciples were average guys. They considered things like respect (John 13:8), loyalty (Mark 14:29), Read More

Staff Report

Few people question whether or not the San Miguel Chapel in Santa Fe is the oldest Church in the United States, but many do question just how old it is.

It is no easy task to sift historical fact from traditional belief. The earliest documentation we have of the existence of San Miguel Chapel is from 1628, so we know it was built sometime before then. Oral history holds that San Read More

Pastor Granillo: Renewing Your Mind

By Pastor RAUL GRANILLO
Los Alamos

When my wife and I first began attending church and getting involved, quite a few of my friends and family started sharing their concern that we might be going too far with this whole “Jesus thing.”

We wanted to know what He really was about and what He really had to offer us, but we never anticipated what God would do through us. The truth is that I had already predetermined the amount of my life I was willing to allow God to have; after all I had a life of my own as well. But as I read the Bible and learned from my pastor, I began to realize that God wanted every part of my life. Read More
