n Luke 7, there are 2 processions headed towards each other, one a funeral procession and the other a procession of Jesus and his followers. At the end of the day, the funeral procession was no more as Jesus performs one of his greatest miracles! Jesus came into this world and proved, ultimately through his own death and resurrection, that he has authority over death and he invites each of us to the eternal life that he's won!

In 2 Timothy 3, Paul warns Timothy about the last days being days of immense difficulty. We are currently living in the last days, the post Jesus resurrection era. These are days of difficulty because people are led by their self-love and their desires rather than the truth. Through the presence of genuine spiritual role models in our lives and ultimately the Word of God, we can navigate through these times and help bring people back to God.

In 2 Timothy 4, Paul writes his last words to Timothy, urging him to fulfill his ministry just as he himself has finished the race, living a life of sharing the Gospel, in full stride as he approaches his death. He reminds Timothy to be truth-oriented, that there is a real spiritual enemy out there who seeks to derail us in our faith, and that there is a great reward at the end for all believers that God promises.

In Hebrews 9, we are reminded that Jesus' sacrifice for us is a once and for all solution to our sins! His death and suffering on the cross communicate both the depth of our sinfulness and also the power of God's solution to this broken world. The Day of Atonement alluded to in the Old Testament points forward to the cross, which means that everyday we have full access to God and his grace!

In Hebrews 11, we see challenging and inspiring pictures of faith — the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Through different heroes of faith and their stories, we learn that the unseen things are often more important than the things that are seen, immediate, and experientially pressing.

In Hebrews 12, Christian life is analogized as a race that requires endurance to push through but an eternal payout that makes it all worth it. Life is short. Death is certain. Eternity is long. Therefore, it is worth it to lay aside everything that hinders us from running this Christian race well in this life for the eternal reward awaiting us later!

In Matthew 6, Jesus offers us a way to deal with the anxieties that we face. He helps see life outside of our immediate realities, reminds us that love is a better fuel to run on than anxiety, reminds us that anxiety is unproductive, and that God exists and knows everything that we need.

In 2 Kings 6, Israel is in a tough spot against the armies of Syria. Faced with this impossible situation, the people ask Elisha, prophet of God, what shall we do? In life, we are often placed in situations that seem impossible and we're asking what shall we do? Elisha assures them that what they see isn't the whole picture and that God has something in store for them to get them through that trial.

In Matthew 20, Jesus tells the story of the vineyard owner who paid out all his employees, regardless of what time they showed up for work, the same amount. Through it, Jesus conveys the generosity of God who is willing to gift eternal life to whoever believes no matter how young or how old they are.

In Acts 1, the disciples are left feeling disoriented and all sorts of emotions after Easter: joy because of the risen Jesus but also distraught from Judas' betrayal and apprehension about what's to come next. Jesus leaves the disciples with proof of his resurrection and with the power of his Holy Spirit to carry out the mission that they're called to.

In Matthew 5, Jesus elevates our standard for how to relate with one another. During his time, he elevates people's understanding from "an eye for an eye" view of enacting justice to instead overcome evil with good. Because God has forgiven us of much, we ought to forgive others and even respond to the evil done to us with good.

In Matthew 5, Jesus begins his most famous sermon, the Sermon on the Mount. The Sermon on the Mount embodies what it looks like to live the good life according to God's standards. The very foundation of the good life begins with being humble, to be poor in spirit, and to mourn the wickedness that's not only within our world but within each of us as well.

In Hebrews 1, we are reminded that God speaks and wants to communicate who he is to us. He has over history gone to great lengths to do so, in the form of the prophets, the Bible, and ultimately in his son Jesus. When we see Jesus, we see what God is like. Taking God's word seriously enables us to better understand who God is, what he likes, and what he wants out of our lives.

In Hebrews 1-2, we are reminded that Jesus is king, that he has the ultimate authority over all other voices in this life. The idea of authority may rub us the wrong way. However, Jesus is a good king who though he was God became man so that he could die the death that our sins demand so that we could have eternal life and be freed from being enslaved by our fear of death.

Genesis 3, Psalm 137, Matthew 1:21-23 - Isolation, loneliness, brokenness... we have a palpable sense that this world is not as it should be. There is an inconsolable longing in our hearts that we can't seem to fulfill on this earth - but it points us to our true home.

From where do you draw your identity? In Psalm 1, the blessed life is marked by the person who is like a rooted tree, in other words, a person who embraces their different roles within the context of their community, whether it be friend, mentor, parent, spouse, etc. Though in some ways to be a rooted tree is limiting and not as free, God designed us to thrive the most in the context of his boundaries and the community that he's placed us in.

Part 5: The Calling of Moses
God calls Moses to free the Israelites from Pharaoh, but Moses is reluctant to go. God lovingly dialogues with Moses and reassures him of His promise: I will be with you.
Passage: Exodus 3:11-4:15
Speaker: Pastor Daniel Kim

Part 4: The Burning Bush
Moses encounters a burning bush that is on fire, yet is not consumed. When we allow God to burn away the impurities in our lives, what remains is a purified, unshakeable, and humble self that He can use.
Passage: Exodus 3:1-12
Speaker: Pastor Daniel Kim
September 15, 2019
Part 2: Is God Aloof and Distant?
Does God care about what I’m going through? In the midst of the grand scale of the universe, we may feel small and insignificant. But the Bible paints a vivid picture of a God who loves us and knows us intimately.

Part 1: Is God a cosmic vending machine?
Is God just a cosmic vending machine, in that you do something for God, and he gives you something good in return? We address this misconception of God by exploring the older son in the prodigal son story in Luke 15, and learning how God instead wants a thriving relationship with us.
Passage: Luke 15 Speaker: Kevin Huang September 1, 2019
Part 3: Sojourner and Exile
Moses is exiled from Pharaoh’s domain, rejected by his own people, and forced to settle in an unfamiliar land. Similarly, while we are strangers and sojourners on this earth, we are called to take on the burden and mission of God along with God’s people.
Passage: Exodus 2:11-22
Speaker: Pastor Daniel Kim
September 8, 2019
Part 2: A Baby in a Basket
Moses’ mother makes a desperate, almost foolish effort to save her child despite the odds — but in doing so, preserves the life of her beloved son, the future leader of the Israelites. Exodus 2 exhorts us not to give in to our cynicism, but to be people of faith, love, and action.
Passage: Exodus 2
Speaker: Pastor Daniel Kim

Daniel and his Friends
The book of Daniel takes place thousands of years ago, but Daniel’s experience of Babylonian exile and the modern freshman’s experience of college is not as different as you might think. In today’s sermon we take a look at some of the lessons college students today can draw from four young men who held on to their faith in the face of an entire empire.
Passage: Daniel 1, 3 Speaker: Isaiah Kang August 25, 2019
Part 1: Pharaoh: Powerful or Paranoid?
Pharaoh, the most powerful figure of his time, was driven by fear and threat. Turns out, many of us are the same way! Exodus teaches us to drive out our fears with a greater, proper fear of God.
Passage: Exodus 1
Speaker: Pastor Daniel Kim

Extravagant Love
A woman pours out a very expensive ointment on Jesus. The disciples are indignant at the waste, but Jesus calls it beautiful. Mark 14 provides a challenging picture of what it looks like to love and serve Jesus.

Part 8: Firm Foundation
What is your faith built on? Jesus teaches us the importance of building our faith on the foundation of a personal relationship with God.
Passage: Matthew 7:15-29
Speaker: Pastor Daniel Kim
August 11, 2019
Part 7: The Golden Rule
Some of the most quoted (and misquoted!) verses in the Bible come from Matthew 7. See what Jesus teaches about judging others, supplicating to God, and the Golden Rule: do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Passage: Matthew 7:1-14
Speaker: Pastor Daniel Kim
August 4, 2019
Part 6: Money, Anxiety, Seeking God
How do we deal with the endless fears and anxieties we face in life? Jesus challenges us to consider how our anxieties are related to what we seek. Maybe changing what we seek will change our anxieties and fears too.
Passage: Matthew 6:22-34
Speaker: Pastor Daniel Kim

Part 5: Secret Deeds
It comes so naturally for us to do things to receive recognition, admiration, and praise from others — and it’s no exception when it comes to our Christian lives. Jesus reminds us that we have a Heavenly Father and teaches us to practice secret acts of worship as a personal devotion unto God.
Passage: Matthew 6:1-21
Speaker: P. Daniel Kim
Jesus’ call to Peter gives us a picture of discipleship: obedience to God’s Word, understanding of self, and new life purpose.
Passage: Luke 5:1-11
Speaker: P. Timothy Rhee
Part 4: The Greatest Prayer Ever Many who grew up attending church have memorized the words to the famous “Lord’s Prayer.” However, do we understand the heart behind this prayer that Jesus modeled for us?
Passage: Matthew 6:5-15 Speaker: P. Daniel Kim
Part 3: Retaliation, Love Your Enemies
How are we to respond to people who wrong us or harm us? Rather than responding to evil in kind, Jesus taught a radical message that we are to love our enemies and to be generous toward them.
Passage: Matthew 5:38-48
Speaker: P. Daniel Kim
Part 2: Legalism vs. The Heart of God
In Matthew 5, when Jesus addresses some important issues like adultery, anger, lust, and divorce – is He being legalistic and adding to the law? As we live out Christian life and obey God’s laws it’s crucial to understand God’s heart behind the law.
Passage: Matthew 5:21-37
Speaker: P. Daniel Kim
Part 1: Salt and Light, Christ Came to Fulfill the Law.
Jesus taught us how, as his disciples, we are to represent him as we go out into the world. Like salt and light, we are to be intense, distinct agents with disproportionate impact on our surroundings. And we are to live out kingdom values fulfilling not just the letter but the spirit of the law, as Jesus taught and modeled for us.
Passage: Matthew 5:13-17
Speaker: P. Daniel Kim
The famous story of David and Goliath still rings true today: there are many modern-day “Goliaths” that intimidate God’s people into inactivity. In that environment, how can we become “Davids” for our generation?
Passage: 1 Samuel 17
Speaker: P. Daniel Kim
What am I to do with my life?” When Jesus dispels our spiritual cluelessness and opens our eyes to our spiritual condition and predicament, we have both the answer to that question and a vision for our lives.
Passage: Luke 12:57-59
Speaker: Pastor Ed
Ever wondered what God’s will for your life is? God’s stated will for our lives is clear: go and share in God’s heart–be missional wherever you are this summer, and for the rest of your life!
Passage: Matthew 9:35-38
Speaker: Pastor Ed Kang
