Renewal Church

This week we celebrate Easter with a message from Pastor Ulysses. The talk focuses on a passage in the Gospel of Matthew where Jesus speaks on the topic of death and the resurrection. This is a lesson we can all be encouraged by; we may know of Jesus’ resurrection but how well do we understand what that means for us who believe? Today, pastor Ulysses helps unpack these words from Jesus to explain...

This Sunday, we pause our sermon series through the book of Romans for a special message in recognition of Palm Sunday.

This week, Pastor Ulysses teaches from Romans 9, where Paul expresses a profound burden for those who are far from God. His words invite us to consider how we see the people around us and to reflect on whether we share that same urgency. As we explore this passage, we’re also reminded that our hope in evangelism rests not in our efforts, but in the power of a sovereign God.

This week, Pastor Ulysses continues our series through the book of Romans with another message from chapter 8. In this passage, Paul points us to the unshakable confidence we have in God’s love. Even in the face of suffering, opposition, or uncertainty, we’re reminded that nothing can ultimately stand against God’s purposes for His people or separate us from His love.

In this message, Pastor Ulysses Wang explores Romans 8:26–30, revealing that when suffering leaves us unable to pray, the Holy Spirit intercedes through our groans to ensure God’s good purposes cannot fail.

This week, Pastor Ulysses Wang dives into Romans 8:15-25, revealing how the Holy Spirit empowers us to move from fearful slavery to the security of our father, even in the midst of deep pain.

Through this passage, we’re invited to consider what the fruit in our lives reveals about who truly rules our hearts.

This week, Pastor Ulysses continues our study in Romans with a message from Romans 6:1–14. As Paul turns from what God has done for us to how we are called to live, we’re reminded that grace is not a license to sin, but it's the power that frees us from it. Through this passage, we’re invited to understand who we are in Christ and to live in light of that new reality.

In this message, Pastor Ulysses Wang explores Romans 5:12-21, contrasting the legacy of sin inherited from Adam with the forgiveness found in Jesus. While the first Adam opened the door to death for all humanity, we discover how Jesus does much more by offering a gift of grace that completely cleanses that sin. We learn why Christ is the only true answer to the brokenness of this world and how He...

In this message, Pastor Jonathan explores Romans 5:1-11, revealing how justification by faith brings us into a state of permanent peace and reconciliation with God.

This week, Pastor Ulysses shares a message from Haggai 1 titled Consider. As we step into a new year, this passage invites us to pause and examine our ways—asking where we are headed and what may be crowding God out of our lives. We are reminded that when we turn back to the Lord, He is faithful to help us rebuild a life with Christ at the center.

This week, we celebrate the hope of Christmas with a message from Matthew 2. In this passage, we see that Jesus is born not just as a Savior, but as a King—one whose authority reaches every corner of our lives. As we follow the story surrounding Jesus’ birth, we’re reminded that even in a world marked by darkness and brokenness, God is sovereign, present, and bringing light through His Son.

This Sunday, Pastor Ulysses unpacks the heart of the gospel in Romans 3:21-31, reminding us that God’s righteousness is revealed not through the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ. We learn that salvation is entirely by grace, not works, leaving no room for boasting and inviting us instead to find rest in Christ’s finished work.

This week, Pastor Ulysses teaches from Romans 3:1-20, reminding us that God is faithful even when we fall short. Paul shows that none of us is truly righteous and that we desperately need God’s mercy. Rather than taking His faithfulness for granted, we are invited to face our sin honestly and place our trust in Him.

This week, Pastor Ulysses shares a message that continues our sermon series through the book of Romans. The message builds on last week's talk with a focus on hypocrisy in the church: As Christians, we may be tempted to take pride in our religious endeavors and standing, but how often do we end up showing the world an image that tarnishes the reputation of God? This is a far greater tragedy than w...

This week, we continue our sermon series through the book of Romans with a message from Pastor Jonathan.

This week, Pastor Ulysses continues our series in Romans with a message from Romans 1:22–32.

This week, we continue in Psalm 134, a passage dedicated to those who have felt unseen or forgotten.

We are encouraged that our faithful service matters to God, and He is always deserving of our praise.

This Sunday, Pastor Yoon from Kairos Church shares a sermon that also wraps up our congregational retreat.

His talk unravels the reasons why many consistently go back to idols and encourages us with ways for us to identify and overcome any idols we may have.
