Continuing our Soul Care series, this week, Pastor Filmore Bouldes addresses fear. Building on last week's message about discovering our true identity in Christ, we explore how to combat the anxiety that unsettles our souls. Are you feeling fear or anxiety? You're not alone. In this powerful sermon, we're reminded that the most frequent command in scripture is 'fear not.' Through firsthand experie...

Who do you get your identity from? Are you trying to fit into what society tells you, or are you listening to the voice of God and what He says about you? This week, Pastor Addison kicks off our new series, Soul Care , focusing on the foundation of our soul — our identity. Reflecting on Jesus' baptism in Matthew 3, we are reminded that our identity comes from who God says we are, not from our exte...

How do you handle conflict? What if we saw conflict resolution not as a burden, but as a byproduct of what Jesus came to do? As we enter Week Four and wrap up our February Relationship Series, Mixed Signals, Pastor Filmore invites us to rethink how we approach conflict resolution as Christians. The world often views conflicts as battles meant to be won, but God calls us to a different approach—one...

How do you define marriage? Is it about love, compatibility, or personal fulfillment? Or is there a deeper purpose behind this commitment? As we enter Week Three of our February Relationship Series, Mixed Signals , Pastor Addison invites us to explore the contrast between culture's view of marriage and God's vision. Marriage, as God designed it, is more than a pursuit of happiness or a perfect mat...

Welcome back to Mixed Signals, our February Relationship Series.  How would you define sex? How do those around you define sex? In a culture flooded with information about sex, relationships, and identity, God brings clarity. In this week's message, we dive into the one of the most avoided but necessary conversations in the church — God's design for sex.  Pastor Filmore highlights that where sexua...

Welcome to our February Relationship Series: Mixed Signals. In a world full of confusion about dating, sex, and marriage, God brings clarity. If we don't have a proper understanding of marriage, we won't take the right approach to dating. In this message, Pastor Filmore helps us explore what it means to date with wisdom, purpose, and biblical guidance — because dating well leads to marrying well....

Life can feel like a series of unrelenting storms, tossing us around, testing our resolve, and leaving us searching for stability. But what if, in the chaos, we could anchor ourselves to the One who stands with us in our pain? When we're weighted down by hardships and shaken up by trials, it's natural to pray for the storm to pass quickly. We seek calm waters and solid ground. Jesus' disciples — e...

Are you available for the restoration God wants to do in your life?  This week, Pastor Levi Smith reminds us of the power being available to God in the midst of the impossible, diving into the story of Jesus feeding the five thousand.  As Jesus sits on the mountainside with His disciples, He looks out at the thousands following Him. In a moment of testing, He asks Philip a question He already had...

On Monday, January 13th, 2025, Onechurch began a collective journey: seven intentional days of fasting. But why fasting? Why has our church chosen to dedicate this week to such a practice? And why should it matter to you in your contemporary, fast-paced life? In this inspiring message, Pastor Filmore thoughtfully unpacks the biblical foundation of fasting, its relevance for today, and its dynamic...

Happy New Year from our Onechurch Family! To start 2025, we had the honor and joy of welcoming Pastor Levi Marychurch from New Zealand. Walking through the story of Samson, Pastor Levi explores with us the vital difference between self-awareness and God-awareness, reminding us that Samson's life is "a cautionary tale of the sense of God's presence in our lives." While self-awareness is valuable fo...

Merry Christmas from the Onechurch family to yours!  In this episode, Pastor Filmore walks us into the timeless story of Jesus' birth and its relevance to our lives today. Discover how the responses of Herod, the religious leaders, and the wise men mirror our own choices when faced with Jesus. Learn how surrendering control, rediscovering wonder, and worshiping fully can transform your priorities...

In this powerful advent message, we dive into one of the longest and most intimate conversations Jesus had in scripture — His encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well. From the deep thirst for meaning to the weight of shame, Jesus offers the ultimate solution: living water. Whether you've ever felt dissatisfied in life, burdened by guilt, or caught in cycles that never satisfy, this message...

Our lives are full of changing circumstances, but what if your joy could remain steady — unfluctuating — regardless of the state of your present?  For example, have you ever felt like your influence was waning? Or perhaps you've experienced seasons of disappointment and doubt? Join us as we delve into the life example of John the Baptist, a man whose heart was fully anchored in God's plan, rejoici...

Have you ever felt like you had it all, only to realize something was missing? There's an inadequacy found with success in providing ultimate fulfillment. Even a highly respected, educated, and successful figure like Nicodemus, a Pharisee and teacher of Israel, recognized his spiritual emptiness. His resume was competitive and his credentials impressive, yet what choice did he make?  Sharing from...

Money – a topic that never exits conversations in culture. It touches each one of our lives. And if it's at the forefront of your thoughts in the morning or at night, you're not alone.  That said, we serve a God who wants the best for us. When it comes to money, fear & anxiety have no space in God's plan for our lives. His will for our life is peace. But why does God care so much about money? Scri...

God often challenges us before changing us. Jesus isn't our interior designer.  This weekend at Onechurch Pastor Filmore Bouldes resumed our study through the Gospel of John. At the beginning of the second chapter, we find Jesus providing and bringing joy through the miracle of turning water into wine at a wedding. As we read through John 2:13-22, we now see Jesus with a different emotional respon...

Pastor Pradeepan Jeeva from Kalos Church in Bellevue, WA spent this past weekend strengthening Onechurch with his message. As our church and lives grow, roots and direction can cross our minds. Seattle, in itself, is a city full of movement. Reading from John 12, Psalm 92, and Mark 11:15-17, Pastor Pradeepan shares an understanding of what it means to grow. A seed - for it to develop - needs to be...

Salt holds its most impact once it leaves the saltshaker.  Joining us all the way from Collective Church in Malaysia, in this special message we held the honor of welcoming our friend, Pastor Kevin Loo, and his family to Seattle. As we have been recently studying the Book of John, Pastor Kevin beautifully continued the conversation. At the turning point of Jesus preparing for his departure, we are...

Public recognition is not synonymous with Godly reward.  We just marked our third week at Nippon Kan Theatre, where we continued our series in the Book of John — a series which both comforts and challenges us.  This past weekend Pastor Filmore walked us through the unique store of a man who didn't search the spotlight yet still found impact within God's work. Andrew, first introduced on the basis...

This past weekend, twenty-six congregation members entered a new chapter in their faith walk. Onechurch's first Baptism Sunday marked our second week at Nippon Kan Theatre. The story God is writing in Seattle is visible.  Before stepping into baptisms, Pastor Filmore kicked off a new series of messages based on The Book of John. The Apostle John, one of the twelve disciples and credited for writin...

Onechurch spent this past weekend in celebration. Sunday, September 29th, 2024 marked a major milestone for our church: Grand Opening!  As the first message from our new venue, Nippon Kan Theatre, Pastor Filmore Bouldes shares a word of grace, hope, and reconciliation. We often tend to think that our value before God is predicated on how well we behave or what we know. Our minds are filled with ou...

God's new mission in your life brings changes, but people are being prepared to walk with you.    This week, Pastor Filmore dives into Acts 9, where we find the life-changing direction of a man named Paul. Formally called Saul, this man turned out to be one of the most important apostles in Christianity, credited for writing the majority of the New Testament. That said, this same person used to ki...

Don't live in that fear forever. This past Sunday, Pastor Filmore reminded us of the empowerment we hold amid fear, reading from Acts 1:4-8. After being crucified and resurrected, Jesus appeared to his disciples who were found in fear and doubt. But before leaving, Jesus counteracted that fear and doubt. He promised His disciples they would receive the Holy Spirit and, through the Holy Spirit, rec...

Many people want to witness a miracle, but fewer want to work for it.  In this episode, Pastor Filmore shares the story of Lazarus, covering John 11:38-44. We find Jesus, powerful as He is, choosing to involve others in this miracle. From Martha rolling the grave's stone aside, to others unwrapping the once-dead Lazarus' graveclothes, this miracle required work. Jesus didn't need others to perform...

Holding anger makes a bed for the devil, but forgiveness leads to his eviction.  This past Sunday, Pastor Filmore broke down Ephesians 4:25-32. Written by Paul, we find a letter addressing and calling the church of Ephesus towards unity. Specifically, we find Paul calling out one emotion that has led to broken unity: anger.  To grow close to God means growing close to one another, but we see how o...
