“Paradox.” What’s a paradox? It’s a seemingly contradictory statement that is still true. The Bible contains many. Last week we started with a “gateway” paradox - the idea that only by being childlike can we mature, and only by owning our weakness can we be strong. If you weren’t with us for the introduction to this series, you can catch up on our YouTube channel or website.

This Friday, April 7th, we’ll have “Good Friday” services at 6pm at both Ali'i Drive and Pine Tree Center sites. We’ll look specifically at what happened at the cross, celebrate communion, and worship.

Bring a friend and join us this Sunday morning at either Ali’i Drive or Pine Tree Center as we look at the difference the Gospel is supposed to make in how we handle relationships. As we dive into Galatians 6, we’ll see a perspective on this that I’ve overlooked - and maybe you have too.

Well, 2023 is here. It’s uncharted territory through which no one has ever walked. That means we’ll need help - which the Father promises to provide. As we walk with our hand in His, in humility and submission, we’re able to take the next steps to fulfill the purposes for which we were each created. THAT is abundant life (see John 10).

Bring friends and family and join us this Saturday, December 24, at 5pm or 7pm, on the oceanfront lawn for our Candlelight Christmas Eve Celebration. It's a special evening of music and hula, along with a message of the peace, joy, hope, and love that arrived with Jesus' amazing invasion from heaven.
