Ephesians is a letter Paul writes to strengthen and encourage a spiritually mature church, which he knows intimately, to "walk" in their calling and to "stand" firm against spiritual opposition. In his opening prayer, Paul prays for Christians to know God in deeper ways through a fresh experience with the Holy Spirit. And Paul also prays for Christians to firmly grasp our new r...

As we close this series, we look at Jesus' final meal with His disciples to discover what true greatness and legacy really mean in God's kingdom. Rather than climbing higher or seeking recognition, Jesus modeled a life of descending lower to serve others — even washing feet. Through stories, Scripture, and practical challenges, we’re invited to move beyond simply knowing about humility a...

What happens when Jesus sits at your table? In this message, we explore the story of Zacchaeus—a man whose entire life was built around hoarding, calculating, and control. But one encounter with Jesus transformed his priorities from fear and self-protection to joyful, radical generosity. His story challenges us to trust God with what we treasure most, and to embrace a life of open-handed Kingdom g...

In this message, we explore the powerful story of Mary and Martha from Luke 10:38–42. Through the lens of “Meals with Jesus,” we’re reminded that discipleship isn't just about doing things for Jesus—it’s about being with Him. In a culture that celebrates productivity and performance, Jesus gently calls us to slow down, sit at His feet, and rediscover the beauty of presence over performance. W...

Hospitality isn’t just good manners and good food and good company; it's Kingdom Mission. The table is where transformation can happen, where Jesus reveals Himself, and where the Gospel gets personal. The enemy of our soul does not want relationships with others to be built up in Christ. No, he does not. There’s something about sharing life at a table; a place where openness is encouraged, vu...

In this special Father’s Day message, Pastor Chad helped us explore the ache beneath our striving—the question we’re all asking in one form or another: Am I loved? Through the story of the prodigal son, we discover a God who is a father and runs toward us, whether we’ve rebelled and wandered or stayed and strived. Which son do you relate to more in this season— the one who ran or the one who staye...

We close out our Send Me series on Pentecost Sunday by exploring The Call to Bold Empowerment. Pastor Chad teaches through God’s presence to the upper room in Acts 2, where the Spirit fills ordinary people with extraordinary power. We’re reminded that God doesn’t wait for us to be perfect—He sends the available, not just the impressive. This message challenges us to live Spirit-empowered lives tha...

Jesus didn’t just rise—He ascended to empower His Church and send us on mission. In this message from Acts 1:1–11, we’re reminded that the Holy Spirit is our source of power, we are God’s plan A, and the mission continues through us. Discussion Questions: 1. When you think about your relationship with Jesus, what role or position do you imagine Jesus holding? Your savior? Your friend? Have you eve...

The mission doesn’t start overseas — it starts with God’s presence. In this message, we’ll unpack how to live as someone empowered by the Spirit for everyday mission. From Isaiah’s awe-filled encounter with God to the disciples receiving the breath of the Holy Spirit, be challenged to move from abiding to action. Whether it’s through small steps at work, conversations with neighbors, or Spirit-led...

God doesn’t need your perfection—just your “yes.” This message from Isaiah 6 reminds us that mission begins with awe, not action. Before we go, we must encounter God’s holiness, confront our sinfulness, and receive His cleansing grace. When Isaiah experienced God’s presence, he didn’t bring a resume—he brought surrender. And that was enough. If you’ve ever felt unworthy, uncertain, or unprepared,...

In this week’s message, Pastor Chad explores one of the most subtle yet powerful temptations Jesus faced—the temptation to prove Himself and gain influence through shortcuts rather than surrender. This message isn’t just about resisting temptation—it’s about releasing the pressure to perform, post, or prove and anchoring ourselves in the identity God has already spoken over us. Through Matthew 4,...

Before Jesus ever preached a sermon or performed a miracle, He was tested. In this message, we explore the first temptation Jesus faced in the wilderness — turning stones into bread — and how it speaks to our own battles with comfort, control, and craving. What do you reach for when life wears you down? Pastor Chad unpacks how Jesus overcame the lust of the flesh not through willpower, but through...

This week, Pastor Tiffa challenges us to step into greater victory by recognizing and using the authority Jesus has given us. His authority not only sends, guides, and empowers us — it belongs to us through Him. Do you know the authority you carry in Christ? And do you know how to walk in it?  Let’s dive into God’s Word and invite the Holy Spirit to give us a deeper understanding. Discussion Quest...

This Easter message isn’t just about remembering a moment in history— it’s about stepping into resurrection life today. Jesus is alive, and because He lives, we can truly live too. Whether you feel stuck, numb, exhausted, or like your soul is barely breathing, Jesus invites you to come alive again. In this message, Pastor Chad walks us through Luke 24 and the power of the empty tomb—not just as a...

Our King is built differently. On Palm Sunday, Jesus enters Jerusalem victoriously as its true King. Yet as Easter approaches, Jesus takes a shocking and unexpected path to Victory. His death on the cross certainly looks like defeat, but it was God's planned path of victory: to conquer Sin and Death for us, so that we could be forgiven and redeemed.  Jesus' path to victory remains our ow...

In this powerful message, Pastor Stefanie Anderson explores the life-changing encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well, reminding us that no one is too far gone or broken to be seen, known, and receive victory in Jesus. Through this intimate and unexpected conversation, Jesus reveals deep truths, extending living water and true victory to someone society overlooked. In this mess...

What does it mean to truly live in the victory of Christ when we often don’t feel victorious? In this message, Pastor Chad takes us beyond the surface to the heart of Jesus' mission—to seek and save the lost—and reminds us that victory isn’t based on our feelings, but on Christ's finished work. Using Peter’s powerful message in Acts 2 and exploring the biblical call to repentance, we lea...

Looking at the world, our precious world it is marked by brokenness and sin, sadness, loneliness, and people are raging. Violence is increasing in Hawai’i. The struggle is real and has been real for we’re answering the question why was victory needed and what does it mean that Jesus won it for us? We love stories of victory, yes? But victory in Christ is not just about winning a battle victory in...

Waiting can feel like wasted time, but what if it’s actually where God does His deepest work? In this message, Victory in the Waiting, we explore what it means to trust God, even when nothing seems to change. Looking at the life of David, we see that living a victorious life in Christ means living a submitted life to Christ—even in the waiting. We’ll discover how biblical waiting is active trust,...

Preparing our hearts for Easter, we’re diving into the ultimate victory—the moment that changed everything. While history is filled with incredible victories, none compare to the triumph of Jesus' death and resurrection. In this message, we explore a life-changing conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus in John 3, where Jesus reveals the path to true victory: being born again. Victory begins...

Looking at Exodus 18, we’ll see how Moses had to let go of old ways to step into God’s new plan—and the same is true for us. What worked in a past season may not carry us into the next.  Don’t let fear or old habits keep you from God’s best—watch now and take your next step toward true freedom! Discussion Questions: 1. Think back to when you were younger—what was a time when you thought achieving...

Shame and guilt often keep us stuck in cycles of fear and isolation; the scheme of the enemy! The gospel declares that there is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus!  This week, we’ll discover how confessing our sins and accepting God’s grace allows us to let go of shame and live in the freedom of forgiveness. Discussion Questions: 1. Have you ever cast shame on someone? If so, what came...

Whether we realize it or not, we all carry baggage—things we were never meant to hold onto. But Jesus invites us to come to Him and exchange our worldly burdens for His yoke of humility and rest.  This week, we’ll identify the unique burdens we carry and explore how Jesus offers us an invitation to lay them down and receive His peace. Discussion Questions: 1. What burdens are you currently carryin...

In a time of uncertainty, shifting culture, and global instability, how should believers respond? The moment we’re in does not pause the mission we’re on. In this powerful message, Dr. Ed Stetzer unpacks John 20:19-21, where Jesus appears to His disciples after His resurrection and declares, “As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” Fear may be the natural reaction to the chaos around us, but...

For several years, we have been standing on the prophetic promise of Isaiah 60, calling us to arise and shine even as darkness covers the earth and the people. However, many of us are unaware—or hesitant—to take the steps required to sustain revival.  In this message, Pastor Creighton shares God’s vision for our community and how we can invest in the revival He is stirring. Discussion Questions: 1...
