Continuing with our new series “Cutting Thru The Noise”, today Pastor Chase teaches on “A Cross Centered Life”. In an age of shrinking attention spans, the CROSS still works on HEARTS when it is embodied in lives. When our WORDS and our WALK line up, people hear something different. What looks like foolish to the world is, for us, freedom, hope, and a holy calling to serve. Through his death and resurrection, Jesus offers eternal life; in the meantime, he trains us to live CROSS-SHAPED LIVES.

Key Scriptures:

I Corinthians 1:17-18,27-31, Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 15:13,12:2, Hebrews 6:19, Romans 8:28, I Corinthians 2:2, I Corinthians 15:1-3, II Corinthians 5:21

Starting a new series today “Cutting Thru The Noise”, Pastor Ira teaches on “The Church God Calls”. As we are introduced to the church in Corinth through in Ch. 1 of 1 Corinthians, we learn of the rock-solid calling of God on the church as well as the promise of Jesus’ faithfulness. The Apostle Paul then begins to instruct them about how to walk in the unity of the Body of Christ that Jesus brought through His death and resurrection.

Wrapping up our series today Pastor Ira teaches on The Church As The Catalyst. Contrary to our cultural understanding, church is not a static entity that we join and observe, but a Catalytic agent of change that challenges us to grow, heal, and walk in His power.

Key Scriptures:

Acts 4:32–33,13, 2:42,47, 5:41-42, Philemon 1:8, 1 Peter 4:10, Ephesians 2:4-5

Continuing with our series “The Church As…”, today Pastor Chase teaches the church is both a spiritual building founded on Christ and a physical space where believers gather to worship, learn, and grow in faith. Today we cross this threshold of the spiritual and physical as we come together and realize that no matter what we are going through, “He is with us.”

Key Scriptures:

Psalm 23, 106:15, James 1:19

Continuing with our series “The Church As…”, today Pastor Kuulei teaches on “The Bride”. The Bible refers to us, the Church, as the Bride of Christ. What does that mean, how do we live it, and what can we expect at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb?

Continuing with our new series “The Church As…”, today we have our Regional Pastor, Chita Olson, teaching on “The Family”.

Today we start a new series “The Church As…”, with Pastor Ira teaching how many of us, when we think of “Church” we have misconceptions, or bad experiences that prevent us from allowing this amazing gift to have the impact on our lives that He intended. The Church was given a name that truly breaks this stereotype, “HIS BODY”. With this name, He takes something that could be construed as a “religious institution” and makes it an indispensable part of our life with Him.

Key Scriptures:

Hebrews 1:1–2, John 1:14,18, Ephesians 1:22–23, 1 Corinthians 12:12–27, Ephesians 4:11–16

As we close out our “Shema” series, Deuteronomy 6:6-9 gives us the blueprint for HOW to love the Lord with everything we are through normalizing the things of the Spirit in everyday day life. Spirituality cannot be compartmentalized, but rather, it must become a part of every part of our lives.

Key Scriptures:

Deuteronomy 6:4-9, 30:15-16

Continuing with our series “Shema”, today Pastor Ira teaches our thoughts are the catalyst for our actions. However, there are many times we are stuck in attitudes and actions that we know are doing us damage. What does it mean to love God with “all your mind”? Could answering this question by rewiring our minds help us get unstuck?

Key Scriptures:

Romans 7:20–25a, 1:21,28, Matthew 22:36–40, Romans 8:5–7, 12:2, 2 Corinthians 10:3–5, Colossians 3:2, Philippians 4:8, John 8:31–32

Continuing with our series “Shema”, today Pastor Ira teaches The Shema prayer is a guide for life that brings true blessing. At its heart is the concept of devotion. Full devotion is elusive but essential for following Jesus. Today we will look at what gets in the way of this devotion and how it impacts our lives.

Key Scriptures:

Deuteronomy 6:4–9, 1 Kings 18:21, Psalm 86:11, 42:1-2

Continuing with our series “Shema”, today Pastor Kuulei teaches that Loving God with all of our SOUL involves more than emotion and affection... it is the seat of our will, our consciousness... our entire LIFE FORCE.

The Shema challenges us to this depth of Love for God in our walk as Believers.

Key Scriptures:

Deuteronomy 6:4-5, Luke 1:35-37, 46-47, Romans 8:28, 12:1

Continuing with our series “Shema”, today Pastor Chase teaches that Shema means hearing and that word hearing means doing. We will learn today the first part of the how behind loving god. We are called to have an ‘Undivided Heart’, in a world that tries so hard to divide it.

Key Scriptures:

Deuteronomy 6:4-5, Psalms 86:11, 26:2-8, 141:3-4, 62:5, 28:7, 119:9-16, 51:10, Ezekiel 36:26, James 4:1, Proverbs 11:6, 4:23, John 3:30, Jeremiah 17:5-10, 29:13, Hebrews 10:22-27, 3:7-15, Ephesians 4:19, 1 Thessalonians 5:19-24, Romans 2:5, 12:2, Mathew 13:15, 22:37-38, Philippians 4:13, II Corinthians 13:5

Continuing with our series “Shema”, today Pastor Kuulei teaches In His relationship with us, God’s commands aren’t for obedience first, but for LOVE.

Key Scriptures:

Deuteronomy 6:4-9, Psalm 40:2-3, Psalm 103:1-5, 106:1, 118:1; 136:1, 1 John 4:19, Ephesians 6:1-3, Colossians 3:20, John 14:15, Matthew 22:34-38

Continuing with our new series “Shema”, today Pastor Chase will be setting the table for the next few weeks of sermons. To really understand the “Shema” Ira taught us what it was and how it was used. I will than set the foundation of Why this is so important as we talk about the phrase “The Lord is”. As we began to understand Who the Lord is we encounter the ability to Love and Obey, which then becomes a natural outflow of who we are and who He is in our life.

Key Scriptures:

Deuteronomy 6:4-9, Exodus 15:11, 16:16, I Samuel 1:1, Genesis 1:5, 2:24, 11:6, Ezra 3:1, Ezekiel 37:15-17, Job 11:7-9, Jn. 17:3, Is. 40:28, 44:6, Ex. 20:1-6, Ps. 139:7-16, Rev. 1:8, 2 Cor. 13:14, Mark 12:28-34

This week we start a new series “Shema”, with Pastor Ira teaching the Shema prayer in the Old Testament is not merely something Israel recited—it was something they were meant to live. God calls His people to a whole‑life devotion that begins with listening, centers on love, and flows into everyday obedience.

Key Scriptures:

Deuteronomy 6:6–9, Isaiah 6:9–10, Matthew 13:14–15, 7:24-25, Luke 11:28, 8:8-10, James 1:22, John 5:24

Wrapping up our series “Got Joy?”, today Pastor Ira teaches on Joy in Contentment. Our world is driven by dis-contentment. Desiring what we don’t have is a destructive force in our society and our lives personally. We overwork, overspend and over stress because of this dynamic. In order to overcome this, we must learn Jesus’ secret of contentment.

Key Scriptures:

Philippians 4:10–23, 3:8, Jeremiah 32:17, 2 Corinthians 10:5

Continuing our series “Got Joy?”, today Pastor Chase teaches how Paul challenges us to having Peace in our JOY. From starting off with Peace in the eternal where he calls us to follow his example. He then challenges us to STAND Firm in Unity and in the Peace of God’s Presence. Which in turn will help us Rejoice by bringing Peace to our Heart and to our Mind. Are you ready for Peace & Joy?

Key Scriptures:

Philippians 3:17-21,4:1-9, I Corinthians 11:1, Ephesians 5:1-2, Mark 10:43-45, II Corinthians 3:18, Titus 2:1, Mark 7:20-23, Colossians 3:2,5-9,12-17

Continuing our series “Got Joy?”, today Pastor Ira teaches how Jesus Christ answered our greatest pain and suffering as well as our doubts when he died and rose again. Sceptic and believer alike will be encouraged as we take what happened, and see how it impacts us today in very real ways.

Key Scriptures:

Hebrews 12:1–3, Isaiah 53:3–4, 1 Corinthians 15:17, 1 Corinthians 15:3–8, John 16:21–22

Continuing our series “Got Joy?”, today Founding Pastor Emeritus Jodi teaches while religion attempts to keep us held captive by a list of man-made rules, restriction, and laws, true joy can only be found in the righteousness that comes from the Lord, and we are encouraged to “put no confidence in the flesh” but instead, we are to press in for the prize offered to all believers through knowing Jesus and finding our freedom, healing, peace, and joy in Him.

Key Scriptures:

Philippians 3:1-16

Continuing our series “Got Joy?”, Pastor Chase teaches if you want joy, joy is found in our Obedience. Paul is calling us to Action. It’s your call are you ready to start climbing the ladder in your walk with God. We are going to challenge you to roll up your sleeves and get to work and when you do God will start to work within you. There will be challenges and the enemy will try to bring you down. But if your attitude is the same as that of Christ Jesus who demonstrated his life through humility and obedience, your obedience will pay off in your life shining like the stars and you will be able to pour your life into others.

Key Scriptures:

Philippians 2:12-18,1:6, Romans 8:28, Colossians 3:1-3,5-17

Continuing our series “Got Joy?”, today Pastor Kuulei teaches how the Apostle Paul continues in his exhortation to the church at Philippi in Chapter 2, verses 5-11. After pleading with the Philippians in verses 1-4 to walk in unity, love, and like-mindedness, Paul declares the only way to do this is to adopt the mindset of Christ… HUMILITY and the willingness to put others AHEAD of ourselves. He then embarks on a REMARKABLE passage describing the LIFE, DEATH, AND EXALTATION of Christ, pointing to Him as the only One who could save us.

Key Scriptures:

Philippians 2:1-11, Malachi 3:6, Hebrews 2:17-18, 12:2, 1 Peter 5:6

Continuing our series “Got Joy?”, Pastor Chase teaches how Paul starts off challenging us in how we should live our lives for Christ…in a manner worthy of the gospel: How? In our conduct….in our consistency….cooperating with others….and He will give us courage through the difficult times.

In doing this we will become ‘like minded’ and find encouragement and comfort, sharing in the spirit and courage lived out in tenderness and compassion.

But Paul reminds us to do all this while putting others first, and then our joy will be complete.

Key Scriptures:

Philippians 1:27-30, 2:1-4, Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, Joshua 1:9, Deuteronomy 31:6, I Chronicles 28:20, I Corinthians 16:13, James 3:16

Continuing our new series “Got Joy?” Pastor Ira teaches Life and Death Joy is a joy that can be a constant in our own lives regardless of the unknown, regardless of the ultimate fears that we face in this world. A secular approach of addressing these trials in our lives, ultimately finds no satisfaction. Paul the Apostle faced these painful times like most all God followers and found a joy that defies life and death.

Key Scriptures:

Philippians 1:12-26, Genesis 45:5, Job 13:16, Philippians 3:8, Hebrews 11:6, Psalm 16:11, Romans 8:18

Today we start a new series called “Got Joy?”, with Pastor Kuulei teaching on Paul’s letter to the Philippians. At a time of imprisonment and possible death, Paul was able to address the church of Philippi with JOY, LOVE, and ENCOURAGEMENT. He knew not only where His JOY came from, but he chose the POSTURE OF JOY, in spite of his circumstances.

Key Scriptures:

2 Peter 1:3, 2 Corinthians 1:8, Philippians 1:1-11, Nehemiah 8:10, Psalm 16:11, Galatians 5:22-23, James 1:2-4, John 15:11, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, Romans 15:13

Wrapping up our series “Pray Like This” walking through THE LORD’S PRAYER, Pastor Ira takes a deeper dive into the last line, “Lead us not into temptation…”. We have been given a great gift in Christ. He has promised that because of His death and resurrection we can be Born Again and walk in a “New Life”. This is the promise. Why do so many people not see it fully expressed in their lives? As we close this series on the Lord’s Prayer, we will address this question.

Key Scriptures:

Romans 6:4, 7:21–25, Matthew 6:9–13, 1 Corinthians 10:13, James 1:12–15, Hebrews 2:14, Isaiah 54:17

Continuing our new series “Pray Like This” walking through THE LORD’S PRAYER, Pastor Kuulei takes a deeper dive into the sixth line, “Forgive us our trespasses”. In teaching His disciples to pray, Jesus went back to the verse on forgiveness and reiterated it in a way that seemed harsh. But His heart was to communicate what true forgiveness looked like in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Today we’ll look at what biblical forgiveness is not, what it is, and why it’s NOT OPTIONAL in the life of the Believer.

Key Scriptures:

Colossians 3:13, Matthew 6:9-12,14-15,18:21-22, Luke 23:34, Ephesians 4:32, Luke 17:3-5, 2 Timothy 1:7, Micah 7:19, Psalm 103:11-12

Continuing our series “Pray Like This” walking through THE LORD’S PRAYER, today Pastor chase takes a deeper dive into the 5th line “give us today our daily bread”. As Jesus continues to teach us how to pray, he challenges us to dig in daily to our daily bread, which is the Word of God. By doing this we will how the rest of the prayer becomes easier and how we Grow in our Walk with God.

Key Scriptures:

Matthew 6: 9-13, 4:4, Deuteronomy 8:3, II Timothy 3:16, 1:7, 4:3, 2:15, Romans 10:17, 12:2, LUKE 8:10-15, James 1:22-24, Galatians 3:2-5, Hebrews 4:2,12, 5:12-6:1, Ephesians 4:14-15, Proverbs 22:18-19, 2:6, Jeremiah 17:7-8, Phil. 4:7, Col. 3:23, John 17:17

Key Scriptures:

Matthew 6:5-6, James 1:19-21, Romans 10:16-21, James 2:14-20

Continuing our new series “Pray Like This” walking through THE LORD’S PRAYER, Pastor Chase takes a deeper dive into the third line, “Thy Kingdom come”. The kingdom of God is anyplace where God’s will is done. How can we follow Jesus’ example by giving up our will to live out our Fathers will in Heaven while here on this earth.

Key Scriptures:

Matthew 28:18-20, 6:9-13,33, 13:31-32, 16:24, Romans 12:2, I John 2:17, Luke 22:42, 17:21, Colossians 1: 12-14, Mark 1:15

Continuing our new series “Pray Like This” walking through THE LORD’S PRAYER, Pastor Kuulei takes a deeper dive into the second line, “Hallowed by Your Name.” It is probably the line that is most glossed over and least thought of, but what does it really mean, and what is the significance of hallowing God’s name?

Key Scriptures:

Matthew 6:9, Psalm 34:1-3, Psalm 103:1-5, Psalm145:1-7, Daniel 4:37, Luke 1:46-47; 49, Isaiah 64:6, Psalm 86:15

Today we start a new series called “Pray Like This”, with Pastor Ira teaching on the prayer Jesus gave His disciples when they asked Him to teach them to pray. The beginning of His prayer starts with “Our Father who is in Heaven”.

Why don’t we pray? One reason is we don’t really know the One we are asked to pray to… As we embrace “Our Father in Heaven” and understand His heart for each one of us, we will be drawn closer to Him in transformational prayer.

Key Scriptures:

Luke 11:1, Matthew 6:1,5-13, Mark 14:36, Hebrews 11:6

As we finish this year, we take a few minutes to contextualize this exciting season of our church. We will celebrate the milestones and position ourselves for the great future ahead. A future founded on the call and promises of God.

Today we start a new series called “Christmas at the Movies”, with Pastor Chase teaching The Miracle is Belief. The real Miracle on 34th street is how hearts are changed from DOUBT and cynicism to BELIEF and HOPE. “Christmas isn’t just a day, it’s a frame of mind.” And that is sometimes what we forget about during this season.

Today we have our regional Pastor, Pete Akins, join us to speak about our story. The end of our story is more important than the beginning. King Hezekiah was known throughout most of His reign as the most obedient King in Judah since David… But he succumbed to pride in the end and will be forever known as the King who paved the way for the Babylonian Exile. How can we live out our Christianity in such a way that we ensure that the ending of our story brings glory to Jesus.

2025-01-05: Encounter, Encourage, Engage: Encountering Jesus

Today we start a mini-series on “Encounter, Encourage, Engage”, with Pastor Jodi teaching on Encountering Jesus. New Years resolutions are often discarded within the first few weeks of the new year. However, encountering Jesus can bring lasting change that is positive, transformative, and tangible. Saul of Tarsus is an example of a person who was radically changed by encountering Jesus and continued to be transformed as he encountered Him. We, too, can encounter Jesus in ways that bring true and lasting change to our lives as we resolve to seek Him daily.

Today as we wrap up our Christmas series “Journey to The King”, Pastor Ira teaches on the Wise Men. Following Jesus from the point of view of the world is often looked upon as a fools errand.

The Magi of the Christmas story are a great example of this to us.

This Christmas, we have the opportunity to be enveloped and changed by the best gift we could ever receive: the gift of LOVE.

Continuing with our series “Counter Culture”, today Pastor Ira talks about harvesting.

ontinuing with our new series “Counter Culture”, today Pastor Jodi talks about speaking for the voiceless. God often gets a bad reputation for being very angry and destructive in the Old Testament. But the example of what He is truly like is found in Jesus Christ, who is always motivated by love and compassion. We are called to be like him as his disciples, and therefore, we are called to be those who are compassionate, and who speak up for those who cannot speak up for themselves.

Continuing with our new series “Counter Culture”, today Pastor Jodi talks about Trending Idolatry. When we think of bowing down to idols, we typically imagine some other culture or era worshipping statues of animals, demons, or false gods. But are there idols that we “bow down” to in our lives?

Our culture is filled with modern-day idols and it can be so easy to fall into the belief that how we think or act is “normal” but the Lord has freedom for us from anything that attempts to grab our attention away from the joy and peace offered only in Jesus.

In the culture, including the culture of disciples of Jesus, there are some issues which are black and white. However, there are also some topics that are open to an individual’s own interpretation.

In the story of Jesus going to the cross there is a subplot involving the custom in which a prisoner was set free. A “notorious criminal” named Barabbas, was released rather than Jesus at the crowd’s insistence. Barabbas, like us, went free and instead Jesus paid the penalty for his crimes. What is our relationship to this generous act by our Savior Jesus? We will examine the lives of many who were involved in this seemingly random story, which is a significant example of the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Key Scriptures:Mark 15:6-15, Mat 27:16-17, Eph 2:1-5, Rom 5:8

Continuing with our series “Mark My Words”, today Pastor Jodi teaches from Mark Ch. 13 on preparing for the end times. There are two extremes when it concerns the end times: people are either obsessed with the subject or they ignore it completely. Jesus gave clear instructions to believers on what to look for in the last days and how to respond to the signs of the end of the age.

Key Scriptures:Mark 13:5,9-11,13,22-23,28-37, 2 Pet 3:9, Exo 14:13, 2 Chr 20:17, 1 Cor 15:58, Gal 5:1, Jam 5:8, 1 Pet 3:10-14,5:9

People often have strong opinions about numerous subjects, but where do these opinions originate? Lack of facts and even spiritual truths abound in our culture, but the Bible clearly communicates what is undeniably true. Jesus engaged with religious leaders who were deceived and tried to trap Him in their false ideologies. He gives a helpful example to know how to engage with those who are spiritually deceived in Mark 12, as we continue our “Mark my Words” series.

Key Scriptures:Mark 12:18-27, Deu 25:5-6, Heb, 4:12, 2 Pet 1:3, Rev 2:4

Jesus wasn’t characteristically angry, but when He saw what had happened to the “church” of His day, He was clearly upset. There are different types of anger we experience, but how can we be angry and not dishonor the Lord or others? We will be looking at anger and how it impacts us and how to learn to be angry “Jesus-style.”

Key Scriptures:Mark 11:15-17, Eph 4:26-27,31-32, Psa 4:4, 7:11, Isa 56:7, Heb 10:15-18

Continuing with our series “Mark My Words”, today Pastor Jodi teaches from Mark Ch. 10. “What must I do to be saved?” A young man, powerful and rich asks Jesus this question and when he realizes the obstacles to his salvation, he chooses the obstacles over the abundant life Jesus offered him.

What are the obstacles in our hearts that keep us from full surrender to the Lord? Are we being held back by the things of this world? Discover the freedom Jesus gives as we choose LIFE with Him.

Key Scriptures:Mar 10:17-27, Ex 20:12-16, 1 Tim 6:10, Heb 13:5

Continuing with our series “Mark My Words”, today Pastor Jodi teaches from Mark Ch. 9 on how Jesus is a God of paradox—His Kingdom principle is that the way down is the way up and if we want to become great, we need to become servants to those who cannot repay us, nor serve us back. This is tested most in families. Fathers, mothers, husbands, wives, and children are all called to lay down their lives for others. This Father’s Day we honor dads and offer some practical ways to become the greatest!

Key Scriptures:Mark 9:33-37, Gen 1:27, Eph 5:21-33, 6:4, Mat 20:26-28

Continuing with our series “Mark My Words”, today Pastor Jodi teaches from Mark Ch. 8 on how the life of a disciple is not an ordinary one. It is not merely a system of beliefs, but of action. Jesus said that if we want to truly find our lives, we must first lose them, take up our cross, and follow Him. True fulfillment can come only in doing this, and there are practical means to understand what Jesus meant and how to live this principle out in our daily lives.

Key Scriptures:Mark 8, Ecc 2:10-11, Mat 10:38, Luk 14:23, 9:23, Gal 2:20

Continuing with our series “Mark My Words”, today Pastor Ira teaches from Mark Ch. 7 where the Pharisees show up again to harass and question Jesus. This time, the disciples are found eating with unclean hands and the Pharisees ask Jesus why don’t they follow the traditions of our culture. Jesus in His wisdom cuts to the quick and restates the question having to be about what a life of worship really is. Jesus sets us free from the burden of man’s tradition and releases us to live an amazing life of worship with Him.

An eye for an eye. If we’re honest, we would consent to that type of justice when someone does us a big enough wrong.
