Pearlside Church | Main Campus

Pearlside Church celebrated its 32nd anniversary this weekend. What started with four people meeting in a bank lobby has grown to around 5,000 people gathering in 10 locations worldwide. Along the way, we experienced dozens of "nos" in the search for a home, to God making a way for us to own the land at Oihana Place. Yet as people prayed, gave, served, and stepped out in faith, God kept...

In this series, we discussed how wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord and having a healthy reverence for God and His Word. We then discussed how wisdom requires that we walk with the right people and is revealed in how we treat people. This week, we discussed how wisdom is lived out through self-control.

Wisdom is not only shown by what we know. It is also shown by how we treat people. Anyone can respond well when things are easy, but pressure shows what is really in us. Proverbs 15 shows us that wise people choose to respond rather than react. Our words matter because people matter to God. Wisdom helps us slow down, choose our words carefully, and respond in a way that honors God.

Proverbs teaches that wise people listen to godly advice, avoid isolation, and intentionally walk with others who can help them grow. We were made to need connection with others. Jesus modeled this through discipleship. He invested a majority of His time in making disciples as He taught them, corrected them, and sent them out to make disciples. The great apostle Paul also wrote and lived out this...

We live in a world with more access to information than ever before, but information alone does not make us wise. Biblical wisdom is learning to live God’s way in God’s world. Proverbs says wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord. This means we respect God, surrender to Him, and acknowledge that He knows better than we do. A right view of life begins with a right view of God. The more we know God,...

David did not come to the Valley of Elah seeking a defining moment. He arrived with food, serving his father, and checking on his brothers. But through ordinary faithfulness, hidden battles, and skills developed over time, David was prepared for a moment he never expected. The valley did not create David’s faith; it simply revealed the faith that had been formed. We often want public opportunities...

Some valleys are from circumstances beyond our control, while others come from the choices we make. After Israel’s victory at Jericho, they were unexpectedly defeated at Ai. The problem was not military strategy but hidden sin: Achan had taken items God had forbidden and buried them in his tent. His disobedience brought consequences not only to himself, but to the whole community. God needed to de...

God’s Word brings hope into hopeless situations. Ezekiel 37 was spoken to the people of God at a time when everything seemed lost. Jerusalem was occupied, the Temple was destroyed, and the people were exiled and enslaved. They described themselves as having “no hope” and being “cut off.” Yet God showed Ezekiel a vision of a valley filled with dry bones and asked, “Can these bones live?” The vision...

We will all go through valleys—seasons of intense trial. Scripture teaches us that our faith is formed in valley seasons. King David wrote Psalm 23 reflecting on God's shepherding care for us even through valley seasons.

It is possible to know God’s Word, practice spiritual disciplines, and still allow our hearts to grow hard toward God and people. The Pharisees were serious about obedience, but their rules had become more important than the hurting person standing in front of them. That is what made Jesus angry and grieved: their religious activity had lost its love. Jesus reminds us that genuine obedience should...
