Sermons
The Word of God faithfully preached to the Church is one of the most essential aspects of Christian discipleship. Through faithful expositional preaching all the saints grow together in the knowledge of God and in being equipped for ministry. This is one reason preaching is the central element of our Lord’s Day worship.

Sermons
Giving Thanks for the Saints
In 1 Corinthians 1.4-9, Paul gives thanks for the saints in Corinth for two reasons: 1) they have been spiritually enriched and 2) they will be eternally sustained.
The Power of Gospel Confidence
In Hebrews 10:19-25, Pastor Jeremy Kaneshiro (Pukalani Baptist Church) helps us to understand the power of our gospel confidence and the esssential role of the local church in the life of the believer.
The Church Sent
In Matthew 28.16-20, Pastor Rocky helps us understand 3 reasons for confidence and hope in our mission of disciple-making: 1) Jesus’ Authority, 2) Jesus’ Process, and 3) Jesus’ Promise.
Building a Gospel Community: Our Identity
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.
The Family of God
In 1 Timothy 5.1-2, Paul explains how the church is the family of the triune God. We have been brought into the family of the Father, Son, and Spirit. As the household or family of God must relate to one another. In this text we find two distinct ways: 1) We must relate to the older saints as fathers and mothers and 2) We must relate to the younger saints as brothers and sisters.
Why the Church Matters
In 1 Timothy 3.14-16 we see the glory of the Church (the church is where God's presence dwells, the church is God's family, the church is the guardians and proclaimers of God's truth) and the glory of the gospel. In light of these realities, both the church and the gospel needs to be central in our lives.
Men and Women in the Church Pt. 1
***e kala mai the first third of this sermon was erased ***
Distinctions between men and women are inconceivable for many within our culture. Yet, God created men and women differently to fulfill complementary roles in society, in our families, and in the church. Over the next several weeks, we'll consider how all this works itself out in the context of the local church. 1 Timothy 2.8 focuses on God's call for the men to lead spiritually. And there are two characteristics that must be formed in men, if they're going to accomplish this: 1) we must be praying men, and 2) we must be holy men.
