This is a Psalm of ascent, to be sung and danced to while David brought the Ark of the Lord of hosts into the city of David. |
Tue, 10 May 2022
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! |
Wed, 4 May 2022
People who have died and returned are not like Yeshua.... they will die again. We have to take off our natural bodies and put on our heavenly bodies to live forever! |
Wed, 4 May 2022
There are many qualities and attributes of God that he shares with us and desires for us to share with Him. However, there are are a few that we should not partake in... and vengeance is one of them. |
Tue, 26 April 2022
“Far from helping me”... How many of us have felt this way? As though God is distant, inattentive, or uninterested in us. We can relate to David in this way. |
Wed, 20 April 2022
Join us this week as we gather together on Waikiki Beach for our Easter Sunrise Celebration! |
Tue, 12 April 2022
Jesus thus far has been called King, Son of David, but when asked by the people, they say He is just a prophet. Here we start to see the true heart of what is happening in this scene. They don’t get the true reason He had come! |
Wed, 6 April 2022
We trust in the Lord because of His love and loyalty for us through his salvation. Through his salvation and love, “I will not be shaken!” Stability is always found in understanding the name of the Lord, His nature, His reputation, and character just as David did. |
Tue, 29 March 2022
Jesus Christ on the cross was our “once and for all” sacrifice. The bronze altar was a foreshadow of the cross. It caused the worshiper to start from a position of humility. So if we start out at the altar... it will alter our day! |
Tue, 22 March 2022
These hidden faults in verse twelve are what we categorize as sins of ignorance, unawareness, and secret. They are the sins that we commit without realizing, not deliberate sin we try to hide. |
Tue, 15 March 2022
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…? |
Tue, 8 March 2022
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. |
Tue, 1 March 2022
David’s not being prideful, but rather attributing every ability and victory to the LORD! Everything he had done and everything he now enjoyed was due to the Lord’s enabling. David did this ...and was able to do this... only because of Him! |
Fri, 25 February 2022
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. |
Wed, 23 February 2022
David’s constant use of “my” in these verses continue to tell of the intimacy that David enjoys with the Almighty. I am God’s possession, creation, son, and bondservant. To say “my God” is not to take possession of the Almighty as though I own Him, but rather say that I am His! |
Sun, 6 February 2022
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. |
Wed, 2 February 2022
Join us this week as Pastor David Blevins shares from his heart on "What is a Disciple?" |
Tue, 25 January 2022
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! |
Wed, 19 January 2022
Even though the unbelievers are not looking up, God is always looking over; And what is He watching for? Our hearts cry! |
Tue, 11 January 2022
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.” |
Tue, 4 January 2022
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. |
Tue, 28 December 2021
This invitation is not just one of salvation, but it is a daily invitation to know the person of Jesus. Not just daily, but moment to moment; To know Jesus and learn from Him. To witness His humility and gentleness. It is a shame that this invitation so often goes unanswered not just in salvation but in the daily lives of Christians. |
Tue, 21 December 2021
This part of the Jesus story is probably the best Incorrectly known part of the entire Bible. The Bible does not mention that they were kings, or that they made it to the manger scene, or that there were only three of them. So, all of this begs the question: Who were these guys? And why were they looking for a Jewish king? |
Tue, 14 December 2021
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. |
Tue, 7 December 2021
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. |
Tue, 30 November 2021
Today’s message is a very simple point, and that’s the danger often we stumble over “The too simple” ... such as God loves you! |
Wed, 24 November 2021
The reason society follows image is, it truly believes there is nothing else, nothing more important or more powerful than their “gods”. The sooner any of us realize who it is we will have to answer too, the better our lives will get! The less we will focus on image, and the more we focus on our creator. |
Tue, 16 November 2021
Join us this week as Esther and Brad McDaniel share about taking care of our Keiki. |
Tue, 9 November 2021
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! |
Tue, 2 November 2021
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?" |
Tue, 26 October 2021
Theology lived out during affliction expresses itself in praise, proclamation, prediction, and petition. |
Wed, 20 October 2021
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! |
Wed, 13 October 2021
If you start to defend yourself, you’ll never stop. It will suck all your time and energy and it will distract you from doing anything meaningful for God. |
Tue, 5 October 2021
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. |
Tue, 28 September 2021
David’s appeal to enter into the house of the Lord is based on the love of God. It is only by God that we enter into the temple of God. This is the message of the gospel! |
Thu, 23 September 2021
Faith is like a muscle, it must be worked out to be enlarged. If you feel like you’ve been broken down or beat up, take hope... for that is when David was enlarged! |
Wed, 15 September 2021
It must really tick the devil off to think that creatures like David, like us, have been given the very thing he strived so hard to have. That God's glory becomes our glory when we give Him praise, thanksgiving, and worship! |
Wed, 8 September 2021
This week, Pastor Waxer Tipton and Pastor Maiola Vivas both speak about how Psalms 2 relate to our current everyday life and the times. |
Tue, 31 August 2021
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. |
Thu, 26 August 2021
Join us this week as guest speaker Krish Dhanam talks about being confident in our faith! |
Wed, 18 August 2021
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. |
Wed, 11 August 2021
God is justified when He speaks. When He pronounces judgement against sin He is righteous and good! |
Tue, 27 July 2021
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? |
Tue, 20 July 2021
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. |
Tue, 13 July 2021
This was the moment in which Jesus took upon himself the full wrath of God upon sin... the sin of all the world for our sake!. Mark only records Jesus say, “My God my God why have you forsaken me?”. This was no doubt a victory cry. This was the Lion of the tribe of Judah roaring in victory over sin! |
Wed, 7 July 2021
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? |
Sun, 27 June 2021
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! |
Tue, 22 June 2021
Who did the rabbis teach was the only one who could cleanse leprosy? God! If the priests declared the leper clean but rejected the One who cleansed him, their unbelief would be incriminating evidence against them. |
Tue, 15 June 2021
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. |
Tue, 8 June 2021
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. |
Wed, 2 June 2021
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. |
Tue, 25 May 2021
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. |
Tue, 18 May 2021
What Jesus was first responding to was the coming destruction of the temple, but they included the end of the age thinking they were one and the same. |
Tue, 11 May 2021
Tune in this week for Mother's Day with Pastor Waxer. |
Tue, 4 May 2021
Join us for our Easter Sunrise service with Pastor Duke Hokama! |
Tue, 4 May 2021
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!” |
Tue, 27 April 2021
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. |
Tue, 20 April 2021
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! |
Tue, 13 April 2021
There is almost no better way to command absolute love for another person than to say, love them the way that you naturally love yourself. Even the people who say I hate myself - still at the deepest part of their heart desire their own well being. This text is not calling us to neglect ourselves either. Only to love our neighbor with the same type of tenacity, intentionality, commitment that we choose for ourselves. |
Wed, 7 April 2021
Join us for our Easter 2021 service as we run into a Shepard while he is out looking for his lost sheep Jacob! |
Tue, 30 March 2021
Acknowledge that you’ve been made by Him, for Him, in His image. Through our faith in the Jesus, we become radiant image bearers again, because He fills us with His spirit and conforms us to His likeness. |
Tue, 23 March 2021
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. |
Tue, 16 March 2021
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. |
Tue, 9 March 2021
But Remember... Jesus came at a time when the Temple was still standing, when the Priesthood of Israel was still in effect, and when the sons of Aaron had charge over the sacrifices. The Cohanim Presented the Lambs for Sacrifice. So... shouldn’t there have been some connection, some recognition given by the priestly line. That the final and ultimate sacrifice had come? |
Tue, 2 March 2021
See what? Their belief! How do you see someones belief? Their transformed life. Even when you saw the regenerative work of the spirit in their life, you still did not believe. These people were transformed, not just convinced. |
Tue, 23 February 2021
God alone is the firm foundation upon which our faith, life, hope, joy, peace, and our salvation rests. To put faith in anything else is to trust in things that will fail. |
Wed, 17 February 2021
So to become great in God, you must become deep in God. strengthen your roots. Make it your priority to grow deeper in the hidden and secret places and your life will bear much fruit as it is written, "The root of the righteous . . . will bear fruit." Proverbs 12:12 |
Tue, 9 February 2021
Jesus entering the temple should be one of the most incredible moments of anyone’s life. The Messiah, the King of Kings has come into the holy place of God. This is where the people of God should be able to come into the presence of God. Here is the righteousness, glory, exact representation of God. This should be cause for celebration. |
Tue, 2 February 2021
It is an Interesting thing how subtle our loyalties and dependencies can shift. Just who it is we are asking or relying on to “Save Us”! To whom are we saying “Hosanna” too? |
Tue, 26 January 2021
Let us learn from this and seek to lay our agendas down daily that we might hear what the Lord has to say, including the warnings from God, and thus be better prepared for that which is in store; The blessings, and the sufferings. |
Wed, 20 January 2021
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. |
Wed, 13 January 2021
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”! |
Tue, 5 January 2021
We are going to take time to ask the Holy Spirit for revelation on the present as we reflect on the past and look to the future. |
Tue, 5 January 2021
God alone brings about this grace...we have no hand in the creation or completion of God’s grace. Planned from all ages, begun, message sustained by prophets, sovereignly guided, manifested, carried out, completed, and delivered by God. |
Wed, 30 December 2020
I have found that if I apply this principle more, I get upset less. I am a child of God, loved as the prodigal, and I am also in humble servitude for all that He has done. |
Tue, 22 December 2020
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. |
Tue, 15 December 2020
Christmas and the Cross are a display of God’s love and the way He deals with sin. God and Humanity have always differed in the way they deal with sin right from the Garden of Eden. The incarnation (birth) life and death of Jesus is God’s plan to deal with sin. |
Tue, 8 December 2020
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. |
Tue, 1 December 2020
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! |
Tue, 24 November 2020
This man sadly only heard the words “give up” but not “and follow Me”. Jesus was not speaking about people who have riches, but riches that have people. If you don’t have God ...you’ll find one! |
Thu, 19 November 2020
This is a topic that is very difficult, divorce is painful! God hates divorce because He sees all the pain it causes. Divorce itself is not a sin, but to divorce a spouse wantingly and willingly does become sin. |
Tue, 10 November 2020
Jesus is saying, deal violently and directly with any part of your being… Your hobbies, activities, schedule, location, or whatever makes you stumble, cut it out, tear it out, throw it away from you! |
Tue, 3 November 2020
Something I’ve noticed... Christians have no problem talking about being a servant until they are treated like one. |
Tue, 27 October 2020
This message is to look at the Ecclesial Church authority and civic authority and to help you to know how to abide in Christ and the State governing authorities to better equip us as we move forward. |
Tue, 20 October 2020
Where the disciples may have failed, may in fact be the same place we all fail. The boys father did not see his desire for he went to the wrong people. The disciples did not see God's work, for they thought they could serve for God. We are merely the messengers, the conduit to a great and amazing miracle working God! |
Wed, 14 October 2020
Peter and the disciples are given a glimpse into the glory of Christ. Though there is ultimate glory to be had in eternity, God’s plan for glory on earth brings us through suffering. Jesus is our example of suffering well and trusting in the glory to come. |
Tue, 6 October 2020
People had many false ideas about the concept of the “Messiah”. Many believed he would be a political, nationalistic figure; coming to free the Jews from the Romans. But of course, God had a much bigger plan and broader deliverance! |
Tue, 29 September 2020
From now on, the underlying deeper questions Mark is leading us to is: What kind of Messiah is He, and what does it mean to follow Him? |
Tue, 22 September 2020
Like this man, we all were once blind spiritually, blinded by satan, blinded by sin, but when you honestly came to Jesus, a miracle began to happen! |
Tue, 15 September 2020
They reject this Messiah BECAUSE He included the gentiles into the plan. It infuriated them, offended them, that he calls tax collectors, dined with adulterers, befriended sinners, pursued demoniac, touched the unclean, raised the dead, called the lowly, surrounded himself with the sick, spoke with women, etc. |
Tue, 1 September 2020
“I have compassion on the crowd” Theses are some of the most tender words from Jesus' lips. He is giving the disciples a glimpse into His heart. Those who put Jesus first were recipients of His compassion. |
Tue, 25 August 2020
Do we see the need in others and feel such compassion for them that we are compelled to bring them to Jesus. He’s the only one who can heal all things. Pride is one of the most dangerous sins, humility brings the grace of God. |
Tue, 18 August 2020
At this point Jesus is testing if she is mimicking or truly believing. She knew the “lingo” … but, did she know the man? She imitated the “religion”… but failed miserably, until she got real and came in brokenness and emptiness before Jesus. |
Tue, 11 August 2020
You see, The Lord Wants Both... Righteous Actions Done by a Righteous Heart. How is the heart cleansed, the Word! How do we keep from the sin of Traditionalism? Standing on the Word of God alone! |
Tue, 4 August 2020
But God is not about the ways and plans of humanity... So notice, while He was sending the multitude away, His objective in this was to put an end to the misdirected exhilaration of their ideas... and an idea the disciples themselves may have been somewhat drawn to. How often God has to protect us from ourselves? |
Tue, 28 July 2020
We ask the Same Question of God all the time, “What good would that do”? The key to changing our world is found right here! Give what you got! You got skills, bring em! Each one reach one! One day, one person, at a time. |
Tue, 21 July 2020
We should be able to rightly identify sin in our own lives and others and if we love our fellow believers, we bring their attention to their sin. If they love us they should do the same. As believers we are to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger. |
Tue, 14 July 2020
200 years ago before Christianity had even begun to be established in a Hawai’i, a Native Hawaiian man, a missionary embarking on his first mission preached the gospel at Park Street Church in Boston Massachusetts. That man was Thomas Hopū of Kailua-Kona, Hawai’i. |
Tue, 7 July 2020
They were to fulfill a special commission and bring back a report |
Tue, 30 June 2020
So, too, as we develop a closeness with Jesus, let us never forget that because He is God, He deserves our utmost respect and devotion, submission and reverence. He has the right to our time, money, abilities, energy, life, and heart as God, Jesus has the right to all we are. |
