Episodes
The Gospel Changes Our Address
Continuing the Ephesians series, Pastor Glenn digs into chapter 2 — what it means to go from spiritually dead to alive in Christ, and why that's entirely God's doing, not ours. He unpacks the "but God" turning point, what it means to be seated with Christ (rest, security, authority), and how salvation by grace erases every wall — Jew and Gentile, insider and outsider — into one family. As he puts it: God didn't just forgive you, He changed your address.
The Story That Defines You
Pastor Glenn launches a new series through the book of Ephesians — "the Grand Canyon of scripture" — starting with Paul's opening doxology on grace, identity, and the blessings believers already have in Christ. He unpacks why "identity precedes activity," the sit-walk-stand structure of the letter, and how God's grace reaches for us before we ever reach for Him. The message closes with communion, tying the whole teaching back to the cross.
Living As Everlasting Kingdom People
On Independence Day, Pastor Glenn looks at Psalm 145's structure to unpack God's "everlasting kingdom" — how living for what lasts, enduring through hardship, and praising through every generation flow from that one truth. Drawing on Alexis de Tocqueville's observations of early America and a missionary's story of coming home, he reminds us we're not home yet, and that worship comes before freedom, not after.
What Time Is It?
Pastor Glenn returns from his sabbatical with a message on the two Greek words for "time" in Acts 1:6-7 — chronos (linear, everyday time) and kairos (God-appointed, opportune moments). Drawing on Joseph, Esther, and his own story of meeting his wife Rika, he unpacks how faithfulness in the ordinary "chronos" seasons prepares us for the bold, decisive "kairos" moments — and why God is never early, but never late either.
The Shadow of a Tree
Regional pastor Dr. Kimo Walls delivers this Father's Day message, drawing on the banyan trees of Hawaii as a picture of what a good father provides. He walks through five marks of fatherhood — stability, shade, fruit, roots, and spiritual influence beyond biology — weaving in stories of his own father, his grandchildren, and lessons learned the hard way. A reminder that legacy isn't found in a will, but in a life.
Don't Take The Bait
Guest speaker Pastor Brian Corpuz returns home to New Hope Kapolei with a message on forgiveness while Pastor Glenn is away. Walking through the parable of the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18, he unpacks the difference between grace and mercy, why holding onto a single offense can become a generational stronghold, and how choosing to stay unoffended is really an act of trust in God. The message closes with the "Four Doors to Freedom" — identity, release, forgive, advance — and communion.
The Voice of the Shepherd
Pastor Jeff explores what it means to truly hear God's voice in a world full of competing influences. Walking through John 10's picture of the Good Shepherd and the story of Elijah's still, small voice, he unpacks practical ways to quiet the mental clutter — from screens and unsolicited advice to gossip and self-doubt — that can drown out God's guidance. Along the way: why taking notes matters, how to choose wise counsel, and why it's never too late to come back if you've followed the wrong voice.
