On this Father’s Day, we welcomed SunAwh Park, Campus Director at YWAM Kona, to bring a timely and powerful message for our church and our city. With a heart for revival, discipleship, and the next generation, SunAwh carries a passion for seeing ordinary people live on mission—right where they are. In this message, he invites us to trust God more deeply, surrender more boldly, and live out the cal...

What if the deepest joy you’re looking for isn’t found in success, comfort, or control—but in being truly loved? In this message, Pastor [Your Name] unpacks Jesus’ final prayer in John 17—a moment where He records not information, but formation for His disciples. Just like a father making videos for his kids before he dies, Jesus speaks over His followers and reveals three core "rules for life": B...

What if the thing standing between you and your purpose… is your comfort? In this message, The Call That Disrupts Everything, Pastor Christian Martinsen walks through the moment Jesus first calls His disciples in Mark 1:14–20 — a passage where a few fishermen drop everything at the sound of one voice. Jesus doesn’t wait for them to be ready. He interrupts. He reorders. He remakes. This isn’t a sto...

Message Title: Sent But Secure | Luke 10:1–22 Series: Disruptive Discipleship What if the greatest joy in life isn’t what you do for God—but knowing you’re already His? In this message, we explore Luke 10, where Jesus sends out 72 ordinary disciples into a world that’s hungry, hostile, and ready. You’ll discover why the harvest is plentiful, why revival begins with obedience, and how true disciple...

Have you ever looked at something in your life and thought, “It’s too far gone”? A broken relationship. A dream that died. A heart that feels numb. This Sunday, we are excited to have Kathy Martinsen, Christian's wonderful mom, bring the message from Ezekiel 37—the powerful vision of dry bones coming to life. In a valley of death and disappointment, God asks a question that still echoes today: “Ca...

(Rom 12:1-8, Part 2) This Mother’s Day, we’re honoring more than just the role of a mother—we’re honoring the Spirit-formed lives that shaped us. Some of us learned to pray by watching our moms whisper blessings in the quiet. Others were taught Scripture at the dinner table, or watched a spiritual mentor serve faithfully behind the scenes. These daily practices—prayer, Scripture, and spiritual gif...

Every one of us is being shaped—by our habits, our screens, our culture, and our desires. This Sunday, we’re diving into a powerful and practical message from Romans 12:1–8 called: “Conformed or Transformed? The Worship War In You.” We’ll explore the hidden forces that are forming our minds and lives—often without us realizing it—and what it looks like to live as a living sacrifice in a world of d...

We live in a culture of convenience, distraction, and comfort. Everything is designed to minimize commitment—ghosting is normal, and long-term sacrifice feels optional. When it comes to following Jesus, we tend to want a version that fits around our schedules, not one that interrupts our lives. So the culture is louder than ever—shaping how we think, what we value, and even who we believe we are....

In this Easter message, Christian delves into the profound implications of the resurrection of Jesus, emphasizing its central role in transforming lives and restoring purpose. The resurrection is presented not just as a historical event but as a transformative truth that evokes deep personal encounters with God, enabling believers to find hope amidst suffering and brokenness. The message draws par...

In this message, Christian explores the complexities of faith, discipleship, and the importance of genuine connection with God. He encourages us to engage deeply with the Scriptures and to be open to the challenging words of Jesus, as presented in the Gospel of John. We reflect on the nature of worship and the significance of sacrifice, highlighting that true discipleship is about more than mere b...

We often think we know and embrace who Jesus is, but then we are confronted with suffering we aren't ok with. The very minute the Peter understands who Jesus is, Jesus tells him what He is going to do to overcome the evils of our broken world and rescue humanity from itself, “I’m going to have to suffer, I’m going to have to be rejected, I’m going to have to die.” - Satan had already issued to Jes...

Disruptive Discipleship in a Secular Age Christian officially begins our "Disruptive Discipleship in a Secular Age" series that we have been introducing over the past weeks. We'll be focusing on what discipleship to Jesus looks like in our current secular moment of our culture, and rediscovering the practices of our faith that can flourish in a new world. WHAT IS DISCIPLESHIP IN OUR MOMENT? Discip...

Phil Chan is sharing a significant message on Fasting: Discipling our Desires… What we desire shapes who we become. If we don’t disciple our desires, our desires will disciple us. In this message, we explore the underutilized practice of fasting and how it is actually God’s chosen tool for helping to shape our desires in world where everything is gnawing to shape it. Pastor Phil breaks down the wh...

As we begin the Season of Lent leading to Easter, Christian is continuing an emphasis on "authentic repentance" in our pursuit of Discipleship in a Secular Age. Tomorrow message is on "The Miracle of the Spirit: Perseverance in Suffering" from Romans 5.

A Move is Coming + The Miracle of Forgiveness, Psalm 51 (PART 2) Christian shares a sense that there is a move happening in the American Church of deep repentance and turning back to the Lord... Addressing the complacency and self-righteousness in our hearts... The last several decades of the church has gone after breaking the strongholds and hypocrisy of religion, and we are moving into a time wh...

A Move is Coming + The Miracle of Forgiveness, Psalm 51 Christian will be sharing a profound burden on how he senses that there is a move happening in the American Church of deep repentance and turning back to the Lord... Addressing the complacency and self-righteousness in our hearts... The last several decades of the church has gone after breaking the strongholds and hypocrisy of religion, and w...

The grace God provides is not based upon social standing, personal merit, or any other achievement deemed worthy or important by human society. It re-defines our self-worth and personal significance. A peasant girl (Mary) rather than a temple priest’s wife (Elizabeth) was bestowed the Messianic blessing and entrusted with the motherhood of God’s Son; as such, God’s grace “looked with favor on the...

"Making Room", Cheryl Allen, PIHOP Director Sunday, Dec 8, 2024 was our final Sunday Service at the International House of Prayer, our home for the last 6 years! A very special and bittersweet service as Cheryl Allen, the director of PIHOP is with us, giving a message titled, "Making Room". Every time Cheryl ministers, she gives a message that gives us fresh eyes to see the challenges of our calli...

Advent Week One// "The Songs of Christmas" // Phil 2:1-11 This week, as we transition from Acts to “Songs of Christmas,” we’re looking at a song that Paul recounted to the very church he planted in Acts 16. This church in Philippi is the healthiest of all the NT churches, and yet Paul is sending this letter to deal with their fighting. The symptom of the problem is self-interest. The root of the p...

Jesus not only modeled but built a "Culture" of authenticity and vulnerability. He was the picture of total and complete emotional health (Mat 14). In his humanity we can see ourselves... and find His invitation to transformation... Pastor Sue Martinsen shares this significant message, accompanied by a powerful testimony...

We will all face some kind of danger in life. How will you face it? How does your faith prepare you for it? Paul expects difficult circumstances because Jesus told him to. When his life is at stake in exactly the same way as he murdered the church's first martyr Stephen, fear doesn't paralyze him, and Paul not only survives this encounter but gains an audience for The Way of Jesus because (1) He e...

WHY DON'T PEOPLE SHARE THEIR FAITH? AND WHY IS SPIRITUAL OPENNESS CHANGING? Rising Spiritual Openness in America... In an October 2022 Barna survey of 2,000 U.S. adults, three out of four (74%) say they want to grow spiritually. Additionally, the same proportion (77%) say they believe in a higher power. Nearly half (44%) say they are more open to God today than before the pandemic. Secular people...

Paul encounters a woman, a slave, and a gentile, in that order, all of whom come to faith in Jesus on the same grounds as he himself was welcomed. Each of these people, Lydia, the slave girl, and the jailer, illustrate to us different ways the Way of Jesus meets people and the manner in which Christ’s kingdom breaks the barriers that we create amongst ourselves. We'll look at 2 questions and 3 act...

Jody + Vanessa Romero are with us from Restoration Los Angeles in East LA. The Romeros have been amazing friends of the Martinsens from before Frontier was planted, and have been regular guests over the life of the church. Jody gives a beautiful message integrating our series on Acts and navigating the life & gifts of the Spirit in the local church. Enjoy.

Acts 17 is the ultimate showdown of how ancient cultural ideology & philosophy is most relevant to our time. Paul was confronting the most influential and culturally forming ideas in history and they are directly connected to our day. This passage reminds us of our message to those ideas and how to engage cultural ideas and real people, while exposing the issues of our hearts. We will look at:...
