Waikiki Beach Gathering

You've surrendered your life to Jesus. Now what? Jesus calls you to be a disciple. As you follow Jesus know you are a voice and He is the Savior. Stay with Jesus and He will change you into who He wants you to be and He will reveal more of Himself to you. Stop trying to be God and starting trying to know God. God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.

Jesus changed history 2,000 years ago when he emerged on Earth. Today Jesus shines into our lives and we must dethrone ourselves and open our lives to him. God is seeking you and is meeting you where you are at right now. 

The devotion of Simeon and Anna is inspiring for us in our walk with Jesus today. Are you devoted?

God announced the birth of Jesus to the shepherds first! Through Jesus we have the victory!

God is with us! He came to save sinners and be with us forever! 92% of Americans believe Jesus is real, but only 56% believe Jesus is God. Your opinion about who Jesus is matters. If you accept what He did for you and surrender your life to Him, you have hope that lasts forever!

What is God calling you to do and why haven't you done it yet? Sometimes we can be freaked out by what God is calling us towards, but we can know nothing is impossible with God. Obedience is our responsibility and the outcome is God's responsibility. Full send it!

God answers our prayers with yes, not yet, and I have something better in mind. Do you believe God can answer your prayers exactly how you asked him to? We can always trust Him even when He answers differently than we expected. God's plans for you are way better than the dreams you have for yourself!

Is thank you something you say or is thankful something you are? Is thank you routine or a heartfelt expression of the joy inside of you? Let's shout for joy and worship with gladness because we have unlimited reasons to be full of thanks in praise to Jesus!

Not all Christians are disciples. Do you only attend church on Christmas and Easter? Do you attend most Sundays, but are not involved at all? Are you serving using your gifts and in a connect group? Or are you all in, totally committed to following God, and this church is home? Twenty percent of the people do eighty percent of the work. Which one of these categories are you in right now? 

We all know that feeling of being in love, and we all know the feeling of being on fire for God. Awe ignites the flame, devotion keeps the flame burning, and gathering makes the flame grow. Let's burn bright and shine our lights! 

Happy 4-year anniversary to the Waikiki Beach Gathering! These first four years have been amazing and this is just the beginning! This is your church and Jesus' church, His purpose is our purpose, and He is the main thing! 

What does your relationship with Jesus look like? Do you feel close to him or really far away? The truth is that Jesus desires a deep personal relationship with every one of us! Opening your heart to Jesus opens a door to the greatest relationship we can ever pursue!

What is love? Why are we here? What lasts forever? You have a reason to be alive: To know how much Jesus loves you, to love Him back, and to love other people! God is love and His love for you lasts forever!

There is no one else like you! God created you uniquely you and he has a mission for you in life that only you can do! You are chosen on purpose for a purpose to love others using your spiritual gifts through the opportunities He provides for you. Say yes to discovering, exercising, and growing your spiritual gifts!

You are a disciple of Jesus and your mission is to make disciples. We have the opportunity through the Holy Spirit to transform spiritual babies into spiritual adults. The church is not a babysitting service, let's grow together!

Hospitality is loving strangers. We are all on the welcome team. Let's be unusually kind and welcome the new kid into our real authentic community.

Apostle Paul is a great example of how we share our story. We share our story anywhere we go by making connections, sharing how we encountered Jesus, and how we were back then compared to how we are now. We all have a story, don't be afraid to share it. And be bold sharing Jesus without fear.

It starts with love, aligning our hearts, then moving through action. This is how missions becomes a lifestyle.

Jesus is our brand and He will heal our land. You are a brand ambassador for Jesus and God uses you to restore other people's relationships with Him.

So many people who leave the church have never heard the simple gospel in the first place and so many people are scared to come to church because they think they will be judged. In order to reach people who have never been reached before we have to do things that have never been done before. We can do anything short of sin to reach people who do not know Jesus. Mercy triumphs over judgment. Let's...

To love at all is to be vulnerable. When we share our weakness, we show God's love. This is the vision of the Waikiki Beach Gathering.
