Acts 20 makes it clear that good shepherds give, and we live that out by HUMBLY preaching what’s HELPFUL, giving TRANSPARENT TESTIMONY, and DEFENDING God’s people from DANGER. We also PREACH the whole counsel of God, PAY attention to ourselves and the church, and PROTECT the flock against wolves. We can all do this when we make LESS of ourselves and MORE of the Gospel to build up the flock of Chri...

His influence and impact would have been the least impactful and influential in his life, but it actually might have been the most impactful and influential for the gospel… 4 words might suggest that… Philippians, Colossians, Ephesians, Philemon. These are known as the Prison letter that Paul wrote during this two year prison period in Rome! Letters that make up the new testament. Letters that not...

It’s hard to be heard in a post-Christian culture. Maybe you’ve tried speaking to your non-Christian friend before, and they’re not really interested. Perhaps you sense you’re a lone ranger in your family because EVERYONE else is part of another religion or tradition? But what if a storm in a person’s life brings them to a point of desperation, or hopelessness, or confusion where all of a sudden t...

We can have that same vision and desire, defending the faith without being defensive, when we point to the Gospel from our listeners’ perspective and when we respectfully show how Christ is the completion of so many deep desires and misplaced beliefs, even when we’re ridiculed. We can do that because we know we have great reasons for believing in the resurrection, we know we have the help of God,...

With every divine delay, Paul is given opportunities to make Jesus known. ● Jesus won’t be rewarding you for the number of people you saved, but he’ll reward you for the motives of your heart and your faithfulness to share. Press on church. Keep looking for opportunities to do the good work of the Gospel. You’ll get what you deserve… it just may have to wait. And you’ll get to your destination… it...

The reality is that none of us can go back in time BUT from Paul’s example we can be ready for the next God-given opportunity and share the good news of the Gospel, boldly/confidently with wisdom and love.

Acts 23 | Should I Still Go? by Pastor Todd Hoshiko by South Bay Community Church

Acts 22 is a masterclass on sharing your story. God has given you a story. Don’t waste your story. Steward your story for God’s Glory.

Pastor Cory Ishida shares insights into the ways of a Man of God. Hear about how we should act, speak and live with Christ in our hearts. The five signs of a man of conviction helps to paint a clearer picture of how we are to carry ourselves throughout our days so that others will see Christ in our lives.

This message revolves around three key principles for discerning God’s will. Discern God’s will through open and closed doors, wise counsel, and above all, the authority of Scripture. God never guarantees comfort. He never guarantees safety. But he guarantees eternal life for all who would believe. Unless God calls you to stay, Unless God forbids you and closes the door, if it’s for the sake of th...

The Gospel is disruptive. What does it look like for you to burn the books? What of your past do you need to declare, "No turning back; No going back." When the light of the Gospel confronts darkness, it forces a decision upon us. Will we resist and hide in the darkness? Will we revolt and reject the Way of Jesus? Or will we revere the name of Jesus, renounce our sin, and repent from old ways?

5 Principles to help us share our faith more effectively without fear. Acts 18, a quote from Charles Spurgeon, and hear Scotts Testimony.

1 Samuel 1:1-28 | How To Handle Your Helplessness by Pastor Greg Mah by South Bay Community Church

Jesus said that we’re to be his witnesses to the ENDS of the Earth! And here they are reaching further than it’s ever been before… All because Paul and Silas trusted and adjusted to God’s to somewhere plans and just try to force their own! Maybe today some of you need to do the same… ● Maybe God is closing some doors ● Maybe God is saying no to opportunity ● Maybe God is saying stop to something t...

Acts 15 | Disagreements and Division in the Church - Pastor Greg Mah by South Bay Community Church

Easter 2025 by Pastor Greg Mah by South Bay Community Church

Friday, April 18 2025 Jesus was that ultimate/perfect sacrifice = the lamb of God whose blood was shed on the cross for us. That blood set us free from anything we have done, from anything we could ever do. Jesus has the ultimate authority over the enemy and through that we love/serve a victorious God.

It is in Jesus that we place our hope! How can I strengthen the souls of the disciples? How can I encourage you in your faith? Beware of the tribulations that we bear as we enter the Kingdom.

So often we want to hear from God, but we don’t care to communicate with him. God speaks through prayer and God speaks through the church. If you need to hear God’s voice, will you consider fasting as a discipline to create space for devoted prayer? Slow down and LISTEN to him speak. Will you find 2-3 Spirit filled Christians that will be on your call list as people to speak into a significant sit...

The Lord is still writing the rest of your story, each one of you. He’s not done with you yet. Would you like the rest of your story to include the place where He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away?

One of the visions we have as a church is that we reproduce ourselves. The church isn’t merely an organization, but as an organism - a living, breathing organism. And organisms, by definition, reproduce. As a church, we want to be able to reproduce other churches. As lifegroups, we should be reproducing new lifegroups. As worship leaders and pastors, we should be reproducing new leaders. As discip...

Acts 10: In this chapter a group of people who were excluded from something and were on the outside looking in. Once welcomed in, became the ultimate game changer! To this point all of Acts has been leading to this moment where the Gentiles (those who aren’t Jewish) are now given access to the Gospel for the very first time. It is hard to overstate how big of a shift this is and I can’t wait to st...
