The book of Jonah is unique in that it is the story of a prophet that does not obey the Lord's command to share His message with another people group. Jonah even tries to run away from God without success. Sound like anyone else you know? The message of Jonah is just as relevant today as it was when first written. God's grace is evident throughout the story of Jonah.

This sermon series is an outworking of our theme for 2023, “Demolishing Barriers of the Heart”, which comes from the part of our vision that says we seek to “establish multiethnic ministries”. As a church, our goal is to be a community that welcomes all races, tongues and nationalities. As a result, we have started a cross-cultural initiative as a congregation to enable and encourage us to learn about another culture by intentionally investing in a relationship with someone that is of a different culture than our own. We had a two-part sermon series to introduce this initiative.

The book of Ruth is unique as it is one of two books of the Bible named after a woman. God's providence and lovingkindness is on display throughout the story of Ruth. We witness God's gracious plan being revealed even in the midst of life's pain.

This series focuses on the spiritual disciplines presented in the Word of God to aid us in keeping our hearts grounded in Christ Jesus. The focus of the series will be on the identity of Jesus and our identity in Him. Spiritual disciplines help to continually remind us of the truth of these essentials (Jesus' identity and our identity in Him). For when we live knowing who Jesus is and who we are in Him, then we truly experience life as God intended for us and the purpose of our life is crystal clear.

1 & 2 Thessalonians are letters written by the apostle Paul to churches in Thessalonica encouraging them to have hope and perseverance in the midst of their persecution by looking forward to the day of Jesus' return. These letters encourage and challenge believers to live in the present while keeping in mind the future they have with Jesus.

These are messages that are topical in nature and do not follow a specific sermon series. Oftentimes, these are guest speakers.

The Sunday before Thanksgiving, we usually have a combined service where all three congregations (English, Cantonese, Mandarin) join together to give thanks to God as one church.

The book of Daniel takes place during the time of the exile of the Jews in Babylon. Daniel and his friends are forced to leave their homeland and to learn the Babylonian culture and language. The book of Daniel reveals God's faithfulness to his people Israel, His plans for the future, and how He brought glory to Himself through Daniel and his 3 friends. God's kingdom will rule everything on earth demolishing all the kingdoms of mankind. God's faithfulness and future plans give us hope in Him and for what is to come.

The short three part series "Life in Kingdom Community" from Matthew 18 will focus on what Jesus taught about the "little ones" including our responsibilities, how the Gospel will transform us, and dealing with conflict with the kingdom in mind.

Making Disciples of Jesus is not only what we are commanded to do for Jesus, but the way we live in our everyday lives. Life itself is one big opportunity for us to make disciples for Jesus. The rhythms of life are each opportunities for us to intentionally make disciples for Jesus. We are blessed to be a blessing to others in the name of Jesus.

This 1st-century letter written by the apostle Paul to the churches in Galatia challenged a perversion of the Gospel (which is no gospel at all then) that people must do certain things to gain favor with God or even earn the right to be saved. The apostle Paul debunked this stating that this belief and practice was just another slavery and not the true freedom that is only found in the Lord Jesus. Today we also fall into this wrong belief that if we can only do better at our devotions or daily Bible readings or serving in some way that we will be considered "good enough" for God's favor and blessings. Galatians is just as important for us to hear today as it was then.

Beginnings: Genesis will take us through the book of Genesis focusing on the building blocks God established in his plan of salvation available to all mankind. Genesis is foundational for learning the heart of God that is full of grace and mercy, and understanding him as creator and sustainer of everything in life.
