Enjoy the Peace of God
Aloha and Welcome!
One of the incredible life benefits of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is the gift of His Peace. In Christ, we are forever connected to Him and His Love, His Power, and yes, His Peace. It calms our anxieties; it guards our hearts and minds. AND, it helps us to enjoy another benefit of relationship with Him — HIS GRACE!

God's Economy
Aloha & Welcome!
We return to our series on the book of Romans today with Chapter 4. As Paul writes this chapter he makes some great connections between the Old Testament and the New Testament. Today we’ll tackle the question of faith vs. works as we look at Romans and the life of Abraham. Pastor John is in Japan this week so I (Pastor Arlen) will be sharing about my favorite Bible character, Abraham.

The Cross, His Death, His Resurrection…it’s all True! March 30, 2024
Happy Easter!
I’ve enjoyed the privilege of sharing Easter messages for 38 years now, and you know what? It still blows my mind at how much you and I are incredibly loved by Jesus Christ! There is no greater act of Love EVER than what Jesus Christ did for us on the Cross. AND, after providing eternal forgiveness for sin, His physical Resurrection from the dead gives us an opportunity to live a live of righteousness, peace, and joy! Too cool!

Freely by His Grace - March 23, 2024
Aloha and Welcome!
One of the coolest phrases in the Bible. It is described by one theologian as “a favor done out of the spontaneous generosity of God’s Heart of love with no expectation of return.” That favor is Jesus Christ and His incredible Love for you and me expressed on the Cross.

“A New Society in the Kingdom of God” March 16, 2024
Aloha and Welcome!
How does God judge people? How does it work for folks who don’t go to church or don’t believe in Jesus? What standard does He use to amidst a myriad of religions, cultures, and practices?
Pastor John takes us into chapter 2 of Romans. Believing that God is Righteous, then His judgment is True. But wait — just when you think you know the answer — God has a surprising way of expressing Himself towards those of us “who think we know” and a refreshing response to those “who are convinced they do not know.” Join us @The Studio as we record our LiveStream, or watch when you have time before MiniChurch this week. God’s Word does not disappoint!

Glorify God and Be Thankful
Aloha and Welcome!
Pastor John shares from Romans 1 how a wrong view of God affects our Worship, Gratefulness, Thinking, Feeling — you got it — how we behave. Besides our personal lifestyle choices, we fail to see how sinful behavior affects the people God has given us to love. BUT THERE IS GOOD NEWS: the Presence and Power of our Loving Jesus allows us to be 100% in control of how we behave! Watch our LiveStream below…

I Surrender All
Aloha and Welcome!
As we answer the questions, “Who am I?” and “Why am I Here?", we have the answers that help us form our Personal Mission Statement (Pastor Arlen’s message last week). From this vantage point, we can invite the Holy Spirit to evaluate how we have served as a (1) Child of God (2) lover of the People God has given us to love, and (3) in our Professions.
Our next step involves our “Heart of Surrender” to Jesus Christ. Join us Pastor John shares insights from Revelation 4 on this beautiful and challenging decision — “I Surrender All” — as we live each day for the Lord…and meet one of the greatest surrenderers, apart from Jesus Christ, of all time.
