Today, we approach the difficult topic of grief and loss. We all experience heartache and anguish over losing someone that is dear to us. It is not just losses of lives but also cherished relationships that take us to places where we are left disoriented and despondent. While embracing that grieving may never end, we want to learn what it means to …

The Prodigal Son is one of the most famous parables that Jesus shares in the Bible. A lot of us are familiar with the story of the younger son, who returned home from living a reckless life. But today, we are going to focus on the older brother, who lived under the love of his father, yet failed to experience that love in his life. We are going to …

Our focus for this year is being Gospel-Centered. The goal is twofold: (1) experience the Gospel for ourselves. (2) Be involved in others experiencing God in the same way. In Luke 6, we see a man who lived with pain and shame all of his life being completely restored by the power of Jesus. We seek for the impact of Jesus Christ to empower us and re…

Paul had a singular passion in his life—as the good news of Jesus Christ transformed him, he dedicated his life to share that same news with as many people as possible. His unceasing passion to preach and share Christ is what we have been called for as well. In 2024, we commit to encounter and proclaim Jesus Christ.…

Too often in life, we don’t take sin seriously. We know we shouldn’t do it, but we wouldn’t take the stance that Jesus took.

Today, we will look into the virtue of humility. Humility (meekness) is such an attractive quality in dealing with others. There is something profoundly powerful about it as it captures our hearts and we gravitate towards those who are humble. Being meek is not weak; meekness isn't passivity; meekness is trusting in the Lord's provision where He pr…

Pastor: Scott Oh “Walking on water” is kind of the picture of doing something I cannot do on my own unless God gives me the power to do it.

Jesus uses the most important social institution of the time to explain how his followers should see each other: as a family.

The resurrection of Christ highlights God’s power that reigns over all things including death. Death has a grip on us in such way that exposes our inability to combat or cope with it.
