Hau’oli Makahiki Hou!
Make Ready for 2025! “40 Days of Warrior Prayer” 01.04

Joy in Jesus: The Fullness of Joy
Merry Christmas!
This week we are using the “backlot” for alternative parking as we gather for worship and the word. Please follow the map and signs and we will see you at the pavillion.

“For I am Trusting You” 11.16
Brenda and I returned to Hawaii Thursday night. In two weeks, we witnessed a seismic shift (and a myriad of emotions) in the United States - and the world - with the Presidential election. But not lost to the Lord is what has also been going on in your life, and the lives of the people He has given you to love — stuff that has nothing to do with politics, and everything to do with life. I believe I have a message of hope for you from the first Bible verse I ever learned. Join us @The Pavilion or via LiveStream

Aloha and Welcome!
Come and experience the presence of God as we gather for worship at the pavillion.
“Tickle the Hyena” — Trusting God When He Doesn’t Make Sense [10.26]
We are discovering that Jesus and the Bible are SUPRACULTURAL — relevant from culture to culture and throughout the history of mankind. As we seek to grow in relationship and understanding with Jesus, what happens when what He says makes no sense? What about those parts of the Bible that are totally opposite of what I would do (or want to do)? Join us as Pastor John shares from Romans 13:8-14. Get ready to “tickle the hyena!”
