What is the Abiding Life

Aloha & Welcome!

To abide means “to remain, stay permanently in relationship.” Jesus asks us to enter into a relationship with Him and make the heart decision: “I’m not going anywhere — I’m with you Lord 100%” Its a BIG ASK! Join us as we explore what Jesus is calling us to do, become and live — a life that results in a joy that will really blow your mind!

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

Peace

Aloha & Welcome!

Pastor Arlen here, I’m excited to continue our series on Get Used to Different. If you haven’t yet, watch an episode or two of The Chosen. Until you do, you don’t fully understand what we mean by “Get Used to Different.” In keeping with the series, I’ll be sharing about Peace. And hope to encourage you as we live in a world that’s filled with so many things that try to steal our peace.

In some ways, this is part 2 of a message I shared in June. And you might want to check that message out to give you more details.

Meanwhile, Here’s an episode of The Chosen you might enjoy!

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 ]

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!

My Sunday

Aloha & Welcome!

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.
