You do not have to do this alone! Join us this Sunday as we continue to follow the adventures of the disciples in the aftermath of the Crucifixion and Resurrection, now choosing to BECOME EFFECTIVE WITNESSES OF JESUS TO THE WORLD!

We continue to look into the post-Resurrection reactions of the Disciples and their wrestle with fear and doubt.

“The Day Jesus got Zealous…or what is Angry?”
Jesus walked into the Temple and saw stuff He did not like. He makes a whip and drives people out, overturning tables and making quite a scene. What is going on? What happens when we are so passionate about something that it manifests into a whole lot of emotion?…Join us this Sunday as we talk about being zealous and being angry.

At a wedding in Cana, Jesus’ identity forever changes. He is no longer a “mild mannered carpenter,” but the SON OF GOD imbued with SUPERNATURAL POWER!!! And in this present time, we are in desperate need of the Supernatural power of God…
…Hope you enjoyed our teaching team these past two weeks. I will be back with you at both campuses with some cool stories from Texas and Okinawa.

A Word from Pastor John
Sunday, February 16, 2020
“Come and See”
What do you do when you realize who Jesus is? Maybe you thought you knew what you needed to know about Jesus. Then “life” happened, and what you thought you knew wasn’t good enough anymore. I think most of us are confronting circumstances that demand answers, and some of us are not sure we know what to do. We stand at crossroads with our spouses, with our careers, with our time and finances, with our friends and family, and even our church. We have our future plans and our past regrets. Here in the middle, we face the prospect of failure and opportunity. And we wonder, “Where is Jesus in this?” Come and see this Sunday that Jesus has plans for you that exceed your limitations and your expectations.

“His Name is John”
If someone were to ask you who was the greatest figure in the Bible besides Jesus, who would you say?
John the Baptist was infused with the Holy Spirit from birth. He was unique in every way, speaking boldly of the One to follow him, Jesus Christ. He provided hope during a time of rampant fear, oppression and hopelessness. And we need to hear of his journey…join us this Sunday as we hear from members of our teaching team: Bob Ford [Kapolei] and Randy Ishida [Honolulu].

“Dealing With Rejection in Your Relationship (Chapter 12)”
Everyone experiences rejection throughout their lives. The question is how should we respond to it as sons and daughters of God. We’ll separate the lies from the truth as we overcome the battle between rights and responsibilities.
We continue our series of what it means to be SONS/DAUGHTERS OF GOD, from the book Victory Over the Darkness by Neil Anderson.
