The words of the ungodly are untrustworthy! This is not just a warning about others, but also servers as a warning for your own judgment, plans, pursuits, and opinions when your heart has drifted far from God.

Loving our enemies is not the same as tolerating our enemies' existence. To love them is to bless them and to mourn with them!

If we desire good lives, it is not found in fulfilling our dreams, gaining respect, or becoming celebrities. Rather, it is found in a life lived in the fear of the Lord for there is found wisdom!

Church, we are the blessed nation that God has chosen as His inheritance. His plans for us and through us cannot be stopped. God works through us and many other things, but does not depend on them for victory!

Christians’ sins are no less egregious than those who don’t believe. The price that was paid for those sins is still Jesus’ blood on the cross. The believer's sin should never breed nonchalance or guilt but always conviction, always sanctification, and always remorse.

We know David was a rascal, but what was also said of him? A man after God’s heart

Again, God’s Economy is quite different from ours.  We look at the outside, at results, but God looks at the heart.  The Lord could discern that David had been consistent in his persistence.

            We can be “Perfectly” committed…  “Holy” in desire  “without wavering.”

The rod was an extension of the shepherds right arm. He used it to protect His flock and would use it to discipline and correct any wayward sheep!

Join us this week as we gather together on Waikiki Beach for our Easter Sunrise Celebration! 

The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. That’s what the Word does, It’s pure and allows us to get to the bottom of things, to see clearly. Just think of how little the concept of pure is today…?

All peoples everywhere are moved by the beauty of creation, but it is also important to distinguish that it is the glory of God; Not merely the glory of creation.

This book will keep you from sin and sin will keep you from this book. The word of God is powerful… just look at Jesus when He was tempted.

David was assured that the Lord would control his life in the face of death and… He rejoiced because God enabled his body to rest securely… even when confronted with death.

Join us this week as Pastor David Blevins shares from his heart on "What is a Disciple?"

David reveals that if someone were to go into the presence of the Lord in Zion, they must be an obedient and righteous servant. The wicked and the hypocritical need not apply!

We all go through suffering in this world. In times of suffering we can be comforted that we are not alone. God is faithful, not just to provide comfort, but assurance that we can rejoice in Him because He has dealt bountifully with us.”

Often people struggle with their faith because hope was placed somewhere it was never meant to be. We try to attach God’s perfect name to some idea that we did not find in scripture. If we did not find it in scripture we have twisted it to grant us worldly pleasure or desires. What we can be assured of is the Lord's faithfulness and love for us. 

For us to find trust in the faithfulness of God for today and tomorrow we must look to the evidence of His faithfulness in the past. He who has proven Himself faithful will continue to prove Himself faithful. Mary here grants us an example of the proper posture of the heart when facing things far above and beyond our strength. 

Try this Christmas to make every ornament, every tree, every song, a reminder and encouragement that your God is faithful and true to bless you and protect you.

Join us this week as Esther and Brad McDaniel share about taking care of our Keiki. 

To be at peace in the midst of chaos and uncertainty, a christian only needs to be reminded that God’s moral order and kingdom are not of this world, and cannot be overthrown!

You're going to have a tough time if your question to God is always “Why”? We need to learn to change that too, "What God are you teaching me? What am I to see or learn?"

Theology lived out during affliction expresses itself in praise, proclamation, prediction, and petition.

David is amazed that mortal humanity should have such a responsibility. He is realizing and pondering how he is such an insignificant creature in the universe and yet God cares for him immensely!

You have faith, you know God is in control. But God will deliver you in the end doesn’t spare you from the languishing of the current season you're in. The christian life is not pain, mistake, or broken proof.

This week, Pastor Waxer Tipton and Pastor Maiola Vivas both speak about how Psalms 2 relate to our current everyday life and the times. 

All of the nutrients and nourishment it needs to fruit and grow. Apart from the vine even the largest healthiest greenest branches can not thrive.

Join us this week as guest speaker Krish Dhanam talks about being confident in our faith!

God calls us to repent because he desires that all would find life! He takes no pleasure in the destruction of the wicked. The call to repent is rooted in God’s grace, mercy, patience, faithfulness, love, and compassion.

God’s sovereign care for the body of Christ reminds us of His sovereign care for us. Providence. Will He not also care for the body of Christ as the church lives?

Today we’re going to see what I call “The Others”. So far the narrative has closely followed Jesus and His disciples; But now we see the other disciples. Those not named among the twelve, but who still follow Jesus or recognize who He is.

Jesus did not need to prove Himself to be God to come off the cross to the Pharisees. It was already written to what happened to Him. There is evidence all around us to who Jesus is, are we willing to believe or make up excuses of the evidences?

Some see the cross as the end of Jesus’ ministry; But this is as foolish as seeing your wedding day as the “End of Dating” after marriage. I didn’t end something the day I got married… I entered in to something even more amazing! Something richer, deeper, and more consistent!

Prayer is great in times of crisis, but it is even more effective when we are prepared for whatever may come by being filled in the spirit. That’s the thing about tragedy, most often it comes  unexpected.

But our God is patient and kind! He bears our imperfections with love and grace, believes wholeheartedly in us, is filled with hope over who we are, and joyfully endures our process of sanctification.

Jesus had just come from the house of Simon the Leper…      where a woman lavished on Jesus a great act of honor and worship… though she probably didn’t know it, Jesus said, “She has anointed my body for the burial.” Now, one day later, he and his disciples are preparing for the Passover and Jesus’ thoughts and intent are from here on focused on the cross.

Why was The Son of Man anointed with spikenard before the Passover and Unleavened Bread? It was a symbol which showed that He is the Messiah/Christ, chosen because his life was unleavened and precious in value. And the very costly pure nard will be broken and poured out, through burial, for many.

Tune in this week for Mother's Day with Pastor Waxer.

Join us for our Easter Sunrise service with Pastor Duke Hokama!

What Jesus had been trying to convey to them and us is that His retirement plan is awesome; And it’s benefits are out of this world …“behold what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!”

God celebrates the faith of those who trust in Him with all that they own. Giving to God through our time, talent, and treasures isn't just about what we are giving but the heart behind it. To God, what you are giving from is more important than what you are giving too. 

Listen in this week with our guest speaker Don Piper. We all have a journey in life and a testimony to give. Join in in as Don Piper shares his testimony!

Join us for our Easter 2021 service as we run into a Shepard while he is out looking for his lost sheep Jacob!

Here’s what sin is; It’s taking our lives, made in the image of God, for God, by God and using all of our ability, our capacity, and our talent in rebellion against God. To live for our own praise, with our own purpose, in our own way. The consequence of this rebellion is death and separation. But the image that is marred in sin, is restored by the blood of the perfect image of God.

In a broken world, people are lost in a cave, and it is our job as christians to help them see in a new perspective by leading them out of the cave and showing them the love of Jesus.

But what I like about this story is Bartimaeus had a need, he had limitations, but he did not hide behind or excuse them or even worse, condemn himself because of his condition.

They’ve Heard this before…, it's not new…  but the don’t really get it … so they just set it on the back burner…. they focus on the things they want to and like. You know what happens when this happens? “SELF-tianity”!

Destruction does not negate the Builder… in fact the contrast illumines Him all the more. Our sin, our choices cost Him pain and suffering too. The only reason there is a Christmas is because we are Sinners… that need a Savior. 

I hope that Christmas this year would matter more than ever. I hope every week is another week for you to embrace the coming of Christ and the love, forgiveness, help that he offers. I hope that from the darkness of the 2020, the light of Christ would re-emerge in the church.

Before we start planning our 2021, let’s first plan our lives. Who are you gonna meet with this year? What small group will know your name and your struggles? Let's use the acronym S.A.F.E. to stay safe by being closer to God this upcoming year!
