The Mission North Shore - Current Teaching

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's Podcast! Here we study three confrontations between Jesus and the religious leaders—the healing at the Pool of Bethesda, the disciples eating grain, and the man with the withered hand—and discover a consistent pattern. The Pharisees had taken God's simple command to rest on the Sabbath and twisted it into legalism with over 1,500 burdensome...

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's podcast! This passage from John chapter 5 takes us to the Pool of Bethesda, where we encounter a man who had been crippled for 38 years. What makes this healing particularly striking is that it was an act of pure mercy, completely independent of the man's faith. He didn't even know who Jesus was until after his healing. This challenges...

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's podcast! This powerful message takes us into Mark chapter 2, where we witness Jesus doing something absolutely scandalous for His time: calling a despised tax collector named Matthew to be His disciple. Tax collectors in first-century Israel were considered traitors, thieves, and outcasts, completely cut off from religious and social life. The ra...

Aloha and welcome to the Mission North Shore's podcast! We read the account of four friends tearing through a roof to bring their paralyzed companion to Jesus.

This narrative reminds us that while we often focus on our immediate circumstances—...

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's Podcast! Mark chapter 1, the cleansing of a leper. What makes this story extraordinary isn't just the physical healing, but the deep spiritual symbolism woven throughout.

We encounter Peter at a crossroads we might recognize in our own lives—he had been called by Jesus twice bef...

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's podcast!

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's podcast! This Sunday’s message confronts us with an uncomfortable but essential question: Can we sit in church and still miss Jesus?

The invitation for...

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's podcast!

What does it truly mean to take up our cross and follow Jesus? This powerful message challenges us to move beyond superficial Christianity and embrace total surrender. Drawing from Matthew 14, we discover that taking up our cross is not about bearing minor inconveniences or life's ordinary struggles. Instead, it represents a complete death to self and absolute commitment to Christ. 

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's podcast! This exploration of 2 Chronicles 32 takes us into one of the most dramatic confrontations between human arrogance and divine sovereignty in Scripture. This sermon challenges us to examine where we place our trust during life's storms. Are we running first to our bank accounts, our connections, or our own strength? 

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's podcast!  This powerful exploration of Palm Sunday takes us deep into Luke 19 and the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. We discover that this wasn't just a celebratory parade, but God's official presentation of the Messiah to Israel. What's striking is that Jesus knew exactly what awaited Him—rejection, crucifixion, and deat...

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's Podcast! In Philippians 3, we're challenged to examine what truly matters in our pursuit of knowing Christ.

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's podcast! This powerful teaching challenges us to examine the true nature of biblical faith by contrasting two remarkable stories from Capernaum.

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's podcast! Romans 5:1-5 presents us with a profound truth that transforms how we navigate our daily lives: we are legally at peace with God through Jesus Christ.

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's podcast! The story of the rich young ruler confronts us with perhaps the most uncomfortable question of our faith journey: what are we unwilling to surrender to follow Jesus?

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's Podcast! This powerful message takes us to the ancient city of Beit She'an, where we witness the tragic end of King Saul's life and discover what it truly means to finish well.

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's podcast!  Imagine standing in your living room at Christmas, surrounded by beautifully wrapped gifts under the tree—gifts that remain unopened, never used, never appreciated for their true value.

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's podcast. The parable of the Good Samaritan challenges us to examine whether our religious activities truly reflect a Christ-like love for people.

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's Podcast! What if the start of a new year isn't just about personal improvement, but about a radical reorientation toward others?

Instead of calling them to wait passively or withd...
