11/8/20
Today we look at the impact and power of Jesus’ resurrection on his first disciples, and what that means for us in a time of confusion, chaos, and uncertainty
Today, we look at the example of Jesus’ love and humility demonstrated to his disciples in his last days. What does Jesus’ example of washing the disciples' feet mean for us who struggle with betrayal, offense, and bitterness? What does it mean to live in Biblical, kingdom-minded reconciliation?
10/18/2020 This week, we look into the story of Jairus’ daughter as well as the bleeding woman. How did Jairus feel when Jesus stopped on the way to his daughter? What’s so significant about Jesus’ pause and respond?
10/4/2020
How would you define faith? In modern culture, faith is a word often used but sometimes misunderstood. Today, we dive into what it means to live a Bíblical life of faith according to Hebrews 12 and how it affects our actions, our position, and our perspective.
9/27/20
This week, we look at Jesus' first encounter with Peter. What does Peter learn after Jesus told him to cast the net once again after a night of no catch? What was on Peter's mind? What was on Jesus' mind? What is Peter's response after catching two boats full of fish?
9/20/20
Today we look into Samuel's first call from the Lord, and what it means to hear from the Lord not just generally but personally. The Lord spoke to Samuel, and as result he got a call for his life. Will you hear from Him today?

8/30/2020
This week, Pastor Paul preaches on the race of Christians, that's not a sprint, but a marathon. How do we continue to race in this challenging and difficult race? How do we persevere and discipline ourselves to continue this race?
Today’s message dives into the healing of a lame beggar Acts 3 and illustrates how we can break out of paralyzing seasons and walk into the presence of God.
8/16/2020
(Due to technical difficulties, the beginning of the sermon was not captured. Pastor Paul began with reading Phillipians 3:12 - 4:1)
This week, Pastor Paul preached on how dangerous self-pity could be. What is self-pity and how can it affect our relationship with Jesus Christ? How can we break the cycle of self-pity?
Today we dive into John's account of the Samaritan woman and her divine encounter with Christ. What began as a simple request turned into a life long transformation. This message looks at what it means to walk the narrow path of repentance, transformation, and kingdom mindedness and how we can live with the same supernatural change this woman received in her encounter with Christ.
8/2/2020
This week, Pastor Paul preaches on Moses' intercession when Moses asked God to show His glory. Moses was frustrated by disobedience by the Israelites and sense of aimlessness. Yet Moses was willing to stay in that place if the presence of God doesn't go with him. What can we learn from Moses' response? How does God answer our questions in uncomfortable situations?

(Due to unstable internet connection, some parts of the sermon are distorted. We apologize and thank you for understanding.)
In seasons of discouragement, we may often find our faith small and our doubt large. Today’s message dives into the Matthew 14 account of Jesus walking on water, in the midst of a trying and troubled time for the disciples. Often, the treasures of our faith are buried in the storms of our lives. What does faith look like in times such as these and how should a believer respond?

Today we look into the life of Job, which tackles the age-old problem of suffering. What does Job's life and pain reveal about God Himself?
7/5/2020
Pastor Paul preaches on enduring suffering to reach hope. Jacob had to endure as he wrestled with God, but what was the hope he received? How does Jacob's wrestle with God relate to us in the current times? God doesn't only comfort us in suffering, but He also wrestles with us in order to build our character and change us.
6/28/2020 Isaiah 43 outlines a new promise for the people of God. Today’s message explores the methods and purposes God allows his people to endure in preparation for a new season.
6/21/2020 ( The beginning of the sermon was not captured due to technical difficulties. The sermon began with Pastor Paul reading Matthew 7:7-11)
This week, as we continue our series on the Gospel, Pastor Paul preaches about the heart of our heavenly Father. In celebration of Father's Day, we remember what it means to be just children of God. Our Father's loving and compassionate heart for us is steadfast, and we should be able to trust Him with child-like faith. In the eyes of God, we are all children whom He wants to love on no matter what we do.
6/14/2020 This week we continue our gospel series with a passage from Mark 14. The message dives into one of the last moments of Jesus before his crucifixion. Mary comes before Jesus, filled with devotion, with a broken alabaster jar. In a world where we are constantly called to action, what does it mean to come before Jesus as Mary did?
6/7/2020 Pastor Paul preaches on how we should empathize with those hurting. Amid great chaos regarding the Black Lives Matter movement, we as Christians must be able to sit and empathize with those who are angry and broken, instead of trying to force them to stop. Jesus didn't force teachings on the outcasts and sinners, but he sat and ate with them. If we are to be ambassadors of Christ, we must do the same.
5/31/2020
In a pivotal moment of history, we dive into what Jesus says to believers on the eve of the Pentecost. What does it mean to be empowered by the Holy Spirit? In a world of uncertainty, Jesus gives an answer to a world in desperate need for change.
5/24/2020
Pastor Paul preaches about being steadfast in the Lord; getting past the state of longing for God to enjoying the presence of God. In Psalm 37, David writes about trusting, committing, and being steadfast in the Lord. How do we come to that place? How do we continue to follow Jesus despite all the obstacles that hinder us? What does it mean to wait on the Lord? We learn to trust in God and wait patiently for our sovereign Lord who will never abandon us.
5/17/2020
(Due to unstable internet connection, some parts of the sermon are distorted. We apologize and thank you for understanding.)
This week, we explore 1 Corinthians 12 as the apostle Paul addresses the importance of every member in the body of Christ. What does it mean to be in the body of Christ? What role do we have in keeping the body living and active?
5/10/2020
For this week's message, Pastor Paul talks about our duty as Christians to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ, especially during difficult times. When the world is going through confusing chaos, that is when Christians should rise up and tell the world of the hope and love of our Lord and Savior. We have the power to defeat any trials before us because we have our God Jesus Christ who overcame this world, and we can put our hopes in Him.
5/3/2020
This week, we dive into the life of Elijah in a moment of deep discouragement. What does the Lord have to say to the one that feels trapped in a season of wilderness? What does it mean to hear the “whisper” of God? In this message, we explore the power of God in the quiet moments and the unique victory that intimacy in seasons of darkness can bring.
4/26/2020
The guest speaker Bob Oh tells us how to live as a living stone for the Lord during this time of confusion and uncertainty.
4/19/2020
This week, we dive into Luke’s account of Jesus’ parable of the great banquet. This parable is a warning to the proud and a welcome invitation to the humble and the broken into the kingdom of God. To every weary soul looking for a place to belong, Jesus stands with the greatest invitation into a heavenly kingdom. How will you respond to the call into the kingdom?
4/12/2020
Pastor Eleanor preaches on the resurrection of Jesus. Despite seemingly dark and anxious circumstances, We have our Lord Jesus who conquered this world. We have our God Jesus who is beside us in the midst of confusion and discouragement. We are able to hope, no matter the circumstances, because Jesus has conquered our biggest enemy, that is, death and our sins. Our battle is not against physical, worldly circumstances, but it's against the spiritual enemy and our sin. The good news is that Jesus has already won the battle for us.
4/5/2020
In celebration of Palm Sunday, Pastor Paul preaches on Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. The people laid down palm branches and even their clothes, shouting "Hosanna!" But a few days later, the same people shout "crucify!", just because Jesus was not the Messiah they expected. They thought the Messiah would free them from the Roman empire, but in reality, the Messiah came to free them from their sins. His battle was not in flesh but in spirit. We can have hope that even in a pandemic like never before, Jesus is with us through it all and we have salvation of our souls through him.

What does a first century Canaanite woman have to do with the world we live in today? This week, we dive into Matthew 15, the story of a Canaanite woman and her bold encounter with Jesus. Pastor Eleanor shares about what it means to have an overcoming faith, and what that means for us today.
3/22/2020
Amid national quarantine due to COVID-19, it's easy to get comfortable and lazy in the comfort of our homes. The danger of that is we lose sight of the Lord and the pursuit of faith. Pastor Paul shares on how we should cherish the extra time God graciously gave us and how we can use this opportunity to seek after the greatest treasure that was paid by the blood of Christ, that is, the presence of the Lord and His word.
