Thrive: Living By Faith, Not In Fear - Pastor Gaylord Tsuei

By faith we offer our lives to God that honors him as Lord over all. But, when our offerings come from a place of ease, then we demonstrate a lack of faith that does not glorify God. We are called to a faith that speaks. - Pastor Arthur Hsu

It's completely natural to rely on observations and experiences to guide us. But what happens when we need more than what we can observe and experience to lead us? We can choose to control our circumstances, allow fear to control us, or live by faith. Living by faith may mean we fall and stumble, but the call to live by faith means persevering when we don't know what's next. - Pastor Dominic Chan

The word, "crisis," is often viewed negatively. At least, most of us do not look forward every morning to jump into a crisis! But if we are promised that God's intention is for His followers to experience the abundant life, and we learn that part of the growth process is to experience crisis on a regular basis...can we learn to "lean into" God's plans for us that often involve a crisis of faith? - Pastor Gaylord Tsuei

What is the relationship between faith and trust? Some people think these words are synonymous. However, the reality is that we will NOT live by faith in God if we don't fully trust God. If we have doubts about His character or His words, we will waver. But if we can see and understand that His Word is trustworthy, and His character is untainted, living by faith will become a way of life as we take His hand and see His plan unfold. - Pastor Gaylord Tsuei

One of the greatest tragedies in life is when a person brimming with potential and with available resources doesn't see the opportunities that are before him or her... or worse, he/she chooses not to live it out. They settle for what is comfortable, known, and safe. Many believers live their lives in a way that is routine and comfortable when, in reality, God intended for so much more. He loved us...so what does that mean for our lives? - Pastor Gaylord Tsuei

In as much as Jesus commands us to make disciples, it’s his presence with us always that enhances this transformation. Jesus invites us into his mission to make disciples who make disciples. - Pastor Arthur Hsu

Since God is love, and we have claimed a personal relationship with God, we must of necessity reveal His love in how we live. He took the initiative with us...so we should do that with others. - Pastor Gaylord Tsuei

Reconciled - Pastor Dominic Chan

Reconciled - Pastor Gaylord Tsuei

In Isaiah 9, against the backdrop of gloom and despair, when people walk in darkness, a hope rises up - the birth of a child that will establish peace, righteousness, and justice forever. This is the hope for the reconciled, the Mighty God who is the Prince of Peace. - Pastor Arthur Hsu

What does it look like to train up our children in the Lord? Is there a one size fits all method to parenting? And is this verse a promise or a principle? - Pastor Patrick Yao

God calls us not just to begin his work but to finish it well and to finish it strong. Finishing his work entails God's anointing upon us and our obedience to that calling. Faithful to his work results in the unveiling of God's glory for all to see. - Pastor Arthur Hsu

Freed to Worship - Pastor Gaylord Tsuei

Many of us think of Sabbath as a day off. If we do, we have missed the whole point of the gift of Sabbath. God said, "You shall keep the Sabbath, because it is holy for you." Through the lens of worship, we will properly understand Sabbath as sanctification, a sign that God is with us forever. - Pastor Arthur Hsu

As Jesus revealed that all of the Old Testament is pointing to him (Luke 24:27), in the 4th Servant Song of Isaiah we have clear picture of God’s plan of redemption for His people. We will explore the dramatic nature of this song and thus have a more profound understanding of Christ’s cross and glorification. - Kevin Wang
