Refuge Church Ojai ValleyStart Fast: Felicia's StoryAs we step into this year with a renewed mission to share our story with those around us, we’re reminded that God is still moving — and every story matters.
This week, Felicia shares a powerful testimony of how God met her in moments of heartbreak and vulnerability, walked with her through years of searching, and faithfully revealed His again and again. When the world’s answers leave us performing on the outside but hurting on the inside, her story reminds us that God is the only one capable of restoring our hearts and giving us true hope.

2025-12-0356 minRefuge Church Ojai ValleyLove As Our PowerThis Sunday, Derry Brooks helps us focus on the truth that real power comes from the love and Spirit of God, not from anything we build on our own. We contrast our temporary “kingdoms” with God’s lasting work and look at how the Spirit empowered Saul, Samson, David, and the believers at Pentecost. From David’s cry in Psalm 51 to Moses refusing to move without God’s presence, Scripture shows that desperation for God is essential. Through personal stories of spiritual warfare, fasting, and answered prayer, we’re reminded that Ojai carries real spiritual weight and that we cannot chang...
2025-11-1734 minRefuge Church Ojai ValleyLove as our MotivationThis morning, Derry Brooks continues in our “In Ojai as it is in Heaven” vision series with a message called "Love as our Motivation". In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul explains that spiritual gifts, knowledge, passion, and even sacrifice mean nothing without love. Human love on its own is inconsistent and self-focused — but God’s love is completely different. God loves first, God loves freely, and God’s love creates value instead of needing to find it. Through Jesus’ sacrifice and the Holy Spirit living in us, Christians are empowered to love with God’s love, not our own broken version. In this message w...

It’s convenient, or maybe comfortable to pretend that it’s a pastor’s job or someone on social media’s job, but it's all of ours.

There is work to be done and a great deal of that work is us walking away from sin. We don’t do it on our own or in secret, but as the Ecclesia, we live life together being willing to confess our addictions to the world, crucify our selfish flesh, cancel our entanglements with evil and commit everything to Jesus.

That is what a witness is; people who experience something life changing or important and must tell others about it. What does your life witness to? How does Jesus play into that? This week we see that every Christian is called to be a witness and every Christian can only do that if the Holy Spirit is active and alive in leading them. #RCOV #ojai #god #holyspirit #prophesy #faith #truth #Jesus #faith

Is there a problem you would ask Him to solve? In the Bible it seems that whenever He showed up, He made things happen, but often they weren’t what people were expecting him to do. Is there something we are missing about what we need and what God wants to actually give us? #RCOV #ojai #god #healing #healingjourney #faith #truth #Jesus #faith

But in Jesus day talking about Sabbath in the wrong way could get you killed. In fact, it's after he heals a man on the sabbath and proclaims himself the Lord of the Sabbath that the religious leaders of his day start plotting to put him to death. Why? What was Jesus claiming? What was he trying to get the people then and us today to see? #RCOV #ojai #god #healing #healingjourney #faith #truth #Jesus #faith
