Testimony:
After enduring years of childhood abuse, rejection, and trauma—including homelessness and assault—Aaliyah came to Pacific Garden Mission seeking safety and hope. Through the New Day and New Life programs, she found not only recovery but a real relationship with God. Aaliyah’s story is a powerful reminder that no matter how broken life feels, God can redeem every part of it and bring beauty from the ashes.
Sermon:
“The Words of Jesus”: In this compelling sermon, Pastor Phil Kwiatkowski walks through Matthew 27 to explore the choices people made when confronted with Jesus Christ—the most controversial man in history. From the unbelieving religious leaders, to the remorseful Judas, to the conflicted Pilate, and finally to the guilty Barabbas who was set free, each person represents a different response to the Savior. Through powerful illustrations and Scripture, Pastor Phil reveals that we all face the same question: “What will you do with Jesus who is called Christ?”
