Internet Speed for Live Streaming

Ideally for Live Streaming you want your internet speed to be 40mbps. Most current internet plans start at 100mbps.

To test your speed, go to https://www.speedtest.net/ and click the big “Go” button.

If you have less than 40mbps, contact your internet provider. They can probably upgrade your speed for NO additional cost.

The Blessing- May 17, 2020

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.

It’s our first week in the State of Hawaii of “shelter at home.”

In the midst of a constantly changing and challenging world around me, I’m focusing on three things: [1] “God, how can You be so good?” [2] “How am I doing with the People God has given me to love?” [3] “God, what are you saying to me?”

“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.

“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.
