Get Used to Different

See you, Saturday September 17, 2022 5PM at The Children’s House Pearl City!

Aloha & Welcome!

The message and actions of Jesus Christ are so radically different than what people are used to, particularly in how He talks about God and does church. Join us as Pastor John starts a new series from the Gospel of John.

The heart of our church is our small group ministry called “MiniChurch”. If you are interested in finding out more about it, please contact me pastorjohn@journeyhawaii.com

The Journey Continues

Aloha & Welcome!

As we progress in a “post-covid” culture, how will we move forward as a church? What have we learned? What will we do to ensure that we: (1) grow in our experiential knowledge of God and His goodness; (2) are increasingly loving the people God has given us to love; (3) are asking God everyday — “what do You want me to do?”

Join us this Saturday as Pastor John shares from Psalm 84:5-7 and select Scriptures

Truth and the Wrath of God

Aloha & Welcome!

What is the “Wrath of God?” It is God’s righteous, personal anger against all sin in the universe, which He exercises because, rather than bringing Him glory, sin dishonors Him and contradicts His holy, moral character. Is there a way to NOT experience His wrath? YES! Knowing and Embracing TRUTH via a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Join us as Pastor John explains from the Book of Romans. [fyi: this a really encouraging message! (-; pj ]

Now, more than ever, I need a reminder that assures me that God continues to be right and that His power is stronger than anything around.

Proven Genuineness

Happy Independence Day

Aloha & Welcome!

I love America! And to all those who serve our country whether in the military or politics or other arenas… Thank you! And Thank You to your families as well.

As we celebrate the birthday of our country, we consider what it takes to change the culture around us. Sometimes when we are governed by tyranny, and sometimes when we just have to get along.

Excited to share with you again! - Pastor Arlen

When Does Human Life Begin?

Aloha & Welcome!

Friday was a historic day in America as Roe v Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court. Amidst the very real divide in our nation on the topic of abortion, let’s take a look at what God and His Word say about LIFE.

My Sunday

Aloha & Welcome!

Last week I (Pastor John) had an opportunity to sit and listen to an incredible message by Pastor Arlen. I also enjoyed the worship and Michael’s story. Later that day I had a wonderful ZOOM with Fumi & Miko in Nishinomiya, Japan. I’ll be sharing some Biblical things I learned in a message entitled, “My Sunday.”

Run Together

Aloha & Welcome!

RISAW: “Run Together” 6.12

The decision to “Run In Such A Way” to win the prize of the Christian Life while we are still alive, is to be CHRISTLIKE – to know (by experiential knowledge) Jesus; His Power, His Suffering, and to completely surrender our hearts to Him.

I, Pastor Arlen, want to share some of my thoughts about RISAW and let you know that you don’t have to Run alone. In fact, it’s better to run together.

Christlikeness

Aloha & Welcome!

The decision to “Run In Such A Way” as to win the prize of the Christian Life while we are still alive, is to be CHRISTLIKE – to know (by experiential knowledge) Jesus; His Power, His Suffering, and to completely surrender our hearts to Him. But what does that mean in my daily life? Check out our latest message from Pastor John.

RISAW

Aloha & Welcome!

The Bible speaks of our life on earth metaphorically as “running a race.” It even identifies what the prize is for those who finish well. “What is the Prize?” Join us this Saturday as we discover ways that we can “run, enjoy, and finish well” our life here on this side of Heaven.

Church is at The Children’s House in Pearl City this Saturday May 28. Here’s a twist: we will play BINGO starting at 5PM for food and gas gift cards, followed by a message from Pastor John. We will have Children’s Church, too!

Why Tithing Matters

Aloha & Welcome!

The City of Laodicea [Rev 3:14-22] was a prominent banking hub, leader in the textile market and home to one the leading medical schools in the world. As Christians did well for themselves, they wrestled with the tension of trusting God or trusting money. Join us this Sunday as we discover Tithing — the Lord’s financial plan of honor, trust, provision, security, and prosperity in an unpredictable and volatile world.
