The Smell of Sin

Aloha and Welcome!

Have you ever wondered what sin smells like and feels like? I shared this message with 350 students at chapel this week and felt it was a message for our church as well.

We’ll dive into the gospels and consider how Jesus saw sin and taught about it. But don’t worry, whenever Jesus talked about sin, he also followed it up with the Fresh Air of Grace. Livestream only this Sunday. Talk to you soon! Pastor Arlen

Mind the Gap

Aloha and Welcome!

“Age to age, He stands, and time is in His hands.

We sing the worship song above, “How Great is our God.. We yield time to Him in as we sing, but do we yield time to Him in our hearts? Waiting for God to answer prayer is a real challenge! What do you do while you are waiting? Is their a “righteous way” to wait?

Now is the Time of God’s Favor

Aloha and Welcome!

Jesus returns to His home town and shares His heart with family and friends at Synagogue. He gives a message of incredible hope for those who are desperate for God. You can see the excitement in Mary (Lazarus’ sister)! But others are offended; they cannot see Jesus beyond their experience of Him as Joseph and Mary’s son. Their offense leads to outrage!

Catch the Little Foxes

Aloha and Welcome!

This week we are challenged to take the Message of Jesus Christ to the people God has given us to love — a message that includes an invitation of the power of God to physically heal, miraculously provide, and reach hearts in a way that we may think is impossible. What happens when our own minds struggle with the Words of the Bible? These random thoughts are like “little foxes” in our minds. They need to be identified, “caught” and replaced with the Truth of God. Join us and hear how!
