Pastor Josh teaches from Matthew 7:13-14 and explains how there are only two ways to live: The way of the righteous and the way of the wicked. This Psalm calls all people to examine there lives and teaches that true blessedness is found only in a life rooted in the Lord and His Word.

Pastor Spencer Revely from Makakilo Baptist on Oahu expounds on Psalm 16 — though written by David he explains that this Psalm is a type of Messianic Psalm, a Psalm that prophecies about the coming Messiah. Through the Psalm the theme is hope, and Pastor Spencer encourages the body to look to Christ’s who is the best example of hope above all else.

Through expounding on Philippians 1.19-26 Pastor Sean from Lana’i Baptist shares that as believers our priority is to live Christ no matter what our circumstances are at any given moment. We will be in trials and tribulations and can take comfort that our Lord and Savior has conquered the cross. As we wait for his return we live and love like Jesus did with genuine passion for others.

In Romans 5.1-5 Pastor Kenny explains how Jesus provides peace with God, access to grace, and hope for the future.

Pastor James Curry of Kailua Baptist Church (Oʻahu) walks us through Psalm 47, highlighting that the ascension of our King Jesus. His message focuses on three key truths: (1) Christ’s ascension inaugurated His worldwide reign, (2) Christ’s ascension marked the beginning of His reign over the Church, and (3) Christ’s ascension points us to the promise of His return. Through Scripture, Pastor Curry reminds us to worship, honor, and glorify our ascended King, Jesus Christ.

Pastor Brian Lowe from Exodus Church (North Carolina) preaches from Psalm 90. He develops a photographic picture depicting Moses’ expression on how we got one short, but significant life. So let’s live for the glory of God and good of others.

In Revelation 21-22.5 we’re given three pictures of our future in glory; 1) New Creation , 2) New Jerusalem, and 3) New Eden. These pictures are promises from God to wet our appetites for Heaven and spur us to help every member of our community live in light of eternity.

In 2 Corinthians 1.3-10 Pastor Rocky breaks down the verses in Paul’s letter to the Church of Corinth, explaining how Jesus hasn’t just given us accountability, He has also gives us suffering. That by living for the Kingdom, there will be suffering. He encourages the body to give their lives to helping one another suffer faithfully and well by highlighting 3 ways to suffer: 1. Expect Suffering; 2. Embrace Suffering; 3. Encourage Fellow Sufferers.

Psalm 23 reveals the faithful care of God for His people. In this sermon by Pastor Josh Lockhart we see David show how God provides and leads His people (vs 1-3), is present in the midst of suffering (vs 4), blesses in adversity (vs 5), and secures His people forever (vs 6).

In Matthew 18.15-20, Jesus explains a four step process for addressing sin in the local church: 1) One on One Confrontation, 2) Multiple Witnesses, 3) Congregation, and 4) Excommunication. Jesus then promises his authority and presence to comfort our fears and strengthen our courage in discipline.

In Ephesians 4.1-16, Pastor Rocky encourages the body and members of WCC to commit to the work of ministry through speaking the truth in love to one another.  He then poses three questions: What is our ministry? Why does our ministry matter? and how is the ministry fufiled?

In John 13.1-35, we see that the local church is meant to be a community characterized by self-denying, Christ-exalting, gospel-shaped love — a love that proves itself through sacrificial - service for those whom Christ loves. Three ideas that help us see this in the text: 1) love’s symbol, 2) love’s example, and 3) love’s promise.

In Acts 2.37-47, we consider how the resurrection creates the local church to be a devoted community. There are two ways we see this: 1) a devotion to the risen Lord and 2) a devotion to the radically ordinary.

This Sunday we begin a series on biblical community by looking at Ephesians 2.14-22. There are all kinds of communities we can and should participate in. But there is no community more important than the local church. Christians must love and spend themselves for their local church. If we’re going to do that, we must understand the beauty and glory of what God has made us in Christ. In this text Paul gives three pictures that illustrate our identity as the Church: 1) God’s New Humanity, 2) God’s New Kingdom-Family, and 3) God’s New Temple.

Pastor Jones Ndzi (Grace Reformed Baptist Church, North Carolina) preaches from Romans 8.5-11. He shows us how the resurrection changes everything about our thinking, our living, and our eternal destination. Christ’s resurrection grants us life in the Spirit delivering us from the dominion of the flesh.

In Genesis 50, we come to the conclusion of the book, which focuses on Joseph. All of Genesis focused on God’s promise to send a savior and His faithfulness to keep that promise by preserving his people. And there isn’t a person in all of Genesis that prefigured that savior more than Jospeh. So as Genesis concludes we highlight two theme in Joseph’s last days: 1) sorrow and 2) hope. Two themes that really faithfully summarize the entire story of Genesis.

In Genesis 49, we find Jacob continuing to bless his sons on his death bed. The most important thing Jacob does before he passes is to pass on God’s covenant blessings, promises, and obligations to his sons.

Jeff Fisher (pastoral ministry assistant at Kihei Baptist Chapel) preaches from Numbers 32.1-32 emphasizing the importance of God's people being united. We can't say we're not needed, nor can we say other members aren't needed. We are all needed in the body of Christ.

In Genesis 48, Jacob is on his deathbed and for the next two chapters, he will be passing down the covenant blessings and obligations to his sons But here, he begins by blessing Joseph and his sons, Ephraim and Manasseh.
