Seizing Your Divine Moment
Aloha and Welcome!
This week, Pastor Arlen shares about “Seizing Your Divine Moment”. Lessons taken from an often overlooked story in the Old Testament, we will explore the life of Prince Jonathan, son of King Saul. In his divine moment, he stepped into a divine moment and experienced a breakthrough for the nation of Israel.
After church, we are hosting a potluck to say “A Hui Hou” to Michael Chung, who will be moving to Japan to begin a new adventure in Jesus’ Name!
As a cherished member of Journey Church Hawai’i, Michael has been a blessing to our community, and we want to send him off with love, prayers, and warm wishes for the road ahead. Let’s come together for a heartfelt gathering in his honor. RSVP here and be part of this special send-off!

The Kind of Fasting God Wants
Aloha and Welcome!
“The Kind of Fasting God Wants” 01.11
Last week we explored the topic of fasting, defining it as “a Christian’s voluntary abstinence from food for spiritual purposes.” We fast to seek answers, experience victory over personal sin, or as we” stand in the gap” and pray for people that God has given us to love we are “stuck” in harmful attitudes and behaviors. This week, Pastor John takes a look at the phrase, “form follows function,” as God shapes our character through fasting. We also experience a release of His Supernatural Power!
