Renewal Church

As we continue our sermon series through the Book of John, we read in today's passage about Thomas, a disciple who doubted the accounts of Jesus' appearance to His followers after His resurrection. It may be easy to skim past this story as the tale of 'doubting Thomas,' but as Pastor Ulysses explains in this sermon, there are great implications to this story and very important reasons why Thomas w...

This week we revisit the sermon series through the book of John. Today's verses recount the events shortly after Jesus' resurrection. At a glance, the passage may appear to be filled with a lot of inessential detail, but have you ever considered that every aspect of the documentation was intentional? In this talk, Pastor Ulysses, highlighting the intentionality of Scripture, explores some of the a...

This week we take a break from the book of John to discuss Christianity and politics. Should we attempt to leave our Christian morals at home when we go to vote? How should we evaluate candidates and proposals?  Pastor Ulysses shares the biblical perspective on those questions and many more.

This Sunday, we continue our series through the book of John as Pastor Cho teaches on the resurrection of Jesus. As many Christians know, this is the most important event in history and it's the foundation of the Christian faith. Pastor Cho explains, however, that if we just stop at the level of simple belief, we miss the full meaning and power of the resurrection.

It is finished. This Sunday, we reflect on the final verses that signify the completion of Jesus' ministry and the fulfillment of prophecy in his last moments. We then explore the deeper implications—what does this fulfillment truly mean, and how does the reality of this sacrifice continue to impact our lives today?

As we continue through the crucifixion story in the book of John, we encounter verses that highlight how we should approach our familial relationships within a Christian context. How can we honor our parents, even when they hold views that may conflict with our beliefs? And as parents, how can we support our children spiritually amid the pressures of the world? In this sermon, Pastor Ulysses guide...

This week, we revisit our sermon series through the book of John, as we read about Jesus' crucifixion. What comes to mind when you think of Jesus' death on the cross? It might be easy to overlook the horrific nature of this form of punishment when just looking at words on a page; but in this talk, Pastor Ulysses examines the true nature of Jesus' crucifixion and reminds us of the meaning and impli...

This week's talk wraps up our 3 sermon series on deacons. Today's sermon from Pastor Ulysses is based on the verses that follow last week's passage, and continues the focus on what deacons are like. Through this and the previous talks on the series, we can gain clarity on what to look for in potential deacons, but we can also be encouraged to not just sit on the sidelines but to recognize the bold...

We take a break this week in our sermon series on deacons to learn from Paster Mark about spiritual leadership in the church. He teaches out of 1st Corinthians about how wrong judgements cause division, and also how unity in the church can be achieved through humility.

We are back with Pastor Ulysses as he teaches the second lesson of a three-part series on deacons. Today we learn not about what deacons do, but instead about the character of deacons. And the character traits discussed would ideally apply to all christians, not just those seeking to become deacons.

This week we take a break from the book of John to start a series on deacons. In this first part of the series, we learn what exactly do deacons do and their responsibilities based off various interpretations of scripture.

How committed are you to living out Christian principles in your everyday life? As Pastor Ulysses walks us through Jesus' trial before Pontius Pilate, we realize even Pilate, who seemingly had a strong moral compass, succumbed to the pressure from the Jewish leaders and the crowd to sentence Jesus to crucifixion. In this sermon we learn the key to holding our principles firm despite today's cultur...
