Life.: Who’s Invited? (Matthew 5:1-12)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Who is Jesus’s invitation to life for? It is for you, undeniably. We often suspect (or have been told) that Jesus is not for us, that we are not good enough or qualified in some way, but make no mistake, Jesus welcomes you–your are invited, and you ARE BLESSED.

Life. Prologue: Abundant Life (John 10:7-15)

A Glimpse of Eternity (Matthew 17:1-13)

Message from David Beck. It’s hard to imagine what eternity is like as it’s a concept that we cannot fully grasp.

Though this, we can have faith and hope in a holy, glorious, and future eternity while still having purpose…

Happier: Out of the Courtroom (1 Corinthians 3:21-4:4)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. One of the things that makes us supremely unhappy and incapable of enjoying the present moment is the nagging feeling of constantly being judged by another’s standards –or our own. The good news in Jesus Christ is that we can be freed from these judgments, we can know that the…

Timothy (1 Thessalonians 3:1-5)

Message from Connie Hong. “You are a forever sidekick.” How would you feel or what would you say if this were to be your role in life?

Happier: Don’t Follow the Belly God (Philippians 3:17-21)

Happier: Joy Always (Philippians 4:4-9)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. We think happiness is about the absence of suffering, but Jesus endured the cross FOR THE JOY laid before him. For what joy? The joy of following the will of God and saving others.

Happier: The Happiness Paradox (John 15:1-5)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. The happiness paradox is the idea that what we think makes us happy often doesn’t.

Firm Foundation: Start Back At One (Luke 10:38-42)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. In our faith journeys, it is very easy to drift, to lose our focus or motivation. What do we do in those moments? It’s helpful to start back up again with a “go-to” move, to focus on ONE thing that will get you moving back towards God.

Firm Foundation: Discipleship!!!! (Matthew 28:16-20)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. You can tell discipleship is important right? Four exclamation points! And yet maybe the modern church has put discipleship on the backburner. If we want to connect to God’s great story, we must become and be committed to making disciples of Jesus Christ.

Firm Foundation: Living a Better Story (Romans 8:18-28)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. There is good news for all of us who mess up, are imperfect, and get caught up in stories of despair, hopelessness, and utter lack of control. We can abandon those stories and live into the story of God, the story of the Kingdom, one where He is working everything…

Firm Foundation: The End of Hostility (Ephesians 2:8-22)

Firm Foundation: Treasured (Matthew 6:25-34)

Firm Foundation: Seeing Clearly (Matthew 6:19-24)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. A lot of the problems we have with decisively living out the Christian life is that we just don’t see its full value. If we’re being honest, we value tangible things like money above living for the kingdom, but if we can fix our vision, perhaps we can see the…

Firm Foundation: Freedom to Love (John 13:1-16)

Message from Young Lee. The world teaches us that greatness is synonymous with acclaim and prestige, yet Jesus refuses to play that game. Before taking upon the cross, Jesus does what he has always done, which is to descend and take on an even greater position as a servant one last time. It’s awkward and…

Firm Foundation: The Upside-Down Kingdom (Mark 1:14-15)

Firm Foundation: Know God (Judges 2:10-18)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. How do we know God, like really know him not just know about him, for the times of trial when we really need God? Our trials provide an opportunity for us to turn to God and to stay with him even after the trial has passed.

Firm Foundation: No More Condemnation (Romans 8:1-4)

Message from David Beck. Christ’s work on the cross allows us to be with God, but it doesn’t mean we stop sinning. Yet, we have hope that despite our capacity and desire to sin, Christ’s love still covers us and leads us to live without condemnation and move onwards towards God.

Firm Foundation: Promised Land (Joshua 1:1-6)

Firm Foundation: The Second Law (Exodus 20:13-21)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Don’t sleep on the Second Law! Learning to love our neighbors as ourselves is at the heart of the second half of the 10 commandments. It is not about a rigid legalism, but a heart that beats as God’s that can be united to our brothers and sisters.

Firm Foundation: The First Law (Exodus 20:1-7)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. The Law’s ultimate goal was to make us the people of God. It is important for us to understand the first law in order to read the entire Bible properly. God must be God alone and we must learn to love him and honor him.

Firm Foundation: Covenant People (Exodus 19:1-9)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. God desired and still desires a covenant people. We have lost a sense of what it means to truly belong to God and live in holiness. It is not meant to be a burden, but truly a blessing!

Firm Foundation: Directions From God (Exodus 18:13-23)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Moses was known for his connection to God and his will and desire for his people. Who do we turn to for direction and truth in an age where people hear the “truth” they want to hear?

Firm Foundation: God of Wonders (Exodus 6:2-9)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. The Israelites had a hard time believing in God’s promised deliverance because their spirits are broken. Do you believe that we can see the wonders of God? He can surely deliver. Again.

Firm Foundation: What Now? (Jeremiah 29:1-14)

Message from Young Lee. There are many times in life, where we may feel as though we are in “exile.” We are in a situation that is different than the one we desired. God speaking calls us to embrace our season and to trust in His faithfulness rather than the “false prophets” of the world.

Firm Foundation: The Blessing of Enough (Genesis 32:22-30)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. One of the great human problems is we can never get enough. In the spiritual life, we just use the word “blessing” to justify our appetite for more. Perhaps the greatest blessing is being able to be satiated by none other than God himself.

Firm Foundation: No One Like You (Genesis 29)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. In today’s world, relationships and sex (while good things) have become a substitute for a rightly ordered relationship with God. There is nothing that can satisfy us the way God can.

Firm Foundation: Nothing Withheld (Genesis 22:1-18)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. As we are learning to set a firm foundation in Christ, perhaps the most important step is to uproot all that we would trust in other than Christ. God is asking for you to come to him empty handed, to not withhold anything from him, so that we may have…

Message from Pastor Steve Khang.

Firm Foundation: Our Shared Brokenness (Genesis 11:1-9)

Thriving in the Pandemic: Be Kind (To Yourself) (Matthew 7:1-5)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. We are taught to not judge others, but how often are we judging ourselves? This is a weird time, we all need to learn to be kind–first and foremost to ourselves. 

Revisit Your Convictions (Matthew 7:24-27)

Life in the Spirit: Darkness Cannot Overcome It (John 1:4-5)

Life in the Spirit: Justice to Victory (Matthew 12:15-21)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. It’s easy to make a statement or show some outrage at injustice. Harder to see justice truly victorious. Jesus was not concerned with PR or assuaging his conscience, he was concerned with those who were oppressed and bringing about true justice. 

Life in the Spirit: From Anger To Justice (Matthew 5:17-26)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. When we see injustice, a natural response is anger. Anger can be destructive but the desire to see those injustices repaired can lead us on the path to fulfilling God’s justice. 

Life in the Spirit: Spirit and Truth (John 4:13-26)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. The Spirit must lead us into truth if there is any hope of change. It is often easier for us to hide from the truth, because the truth isn’t always comfortable. But when we have the Spirit of God with us, we can know we can be safe as we…

Practical Discipleship: Who Do You Imitate? (Philippians 3:17-21)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. We all imitate someone. We are disciples of Christ, but we often can grow in discipleship through imitating those who are following Christ themselves. Who are you imitating? 

Practical Discipleship: The Discipline of Peace (Philippians 4:4-9)

Extravagant Love (Mark 14:3-9)

Practical Discipleship: Abide (John 15:1-13)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Not all habits are created equal. The ones that really help in our discipleship are the ones that allow us to abide in Christ and He in us, to let Christ do what we are unable to do by direct effort. You know, the ones Jesus himself did. 

Practical Discipleship: Investing in Discipleship (Matthew 25:14-30)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. The way we become disciples is by building habits that will help us to do what we can not accomplish by mere willpower. This is the flourishing life! The biggest step though? Getting started.

Practical Discipleship: Discipleship, Why? (Matthew 5:1-11)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Disciples give up everything to follow Jesus. Why in the world would anyone follow Jesus with those kinds of terms? Today we will explain why following Jesus is worth everything and why we are called to leave behind the old life to pursue this new one.

Message from Pastor Pete Chung from Korean Central Presbyterian Church in Houston. 

Practical Discipleship: Who Do You Want To Become? (Matthew 28:16-20)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Paul reveals the big mystery of the gospel that the Gentiles are included in it, just as the Jews were. We like to think of ourselves or make ourselves as more special than others, but the enfolding love of Christ helps us belong to this one body together. 

The Big Story: No More Division (Ephesians 2:11-22)

The Big Story: The Big Story (Ephesians 1:9-23)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. In this world, many of us are living little stories or stories that frankly don’t lead anywhere. The secret of a life of joy and meaning is to link up our story with God’s big story, one that unites us with God and each other in love.  YouTube link for…

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. This passage changed my life. I was an expert at the art of feeling bad. And worst of all, I thought it was spiritual to do so. But this passage helped me to understand that Godly conviction is meant ultimately to give you life–regret just holds you back.

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Becoming like Christ can be a reality we can experience. Practically, the way you get there is by embracing two very important things: commitment and practice. And what you must do is commit to practice. 

Spirit Break In (Acts 2:42-47)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. The Holy Spirit breaks out and unleashes the disciples into the world. But perhaps the most important move of the Holy Spirit is when it breaks IN, into our private lives, homes, and revolutionizes how we do life together. 

Resurrecting Church (John 17:20-26)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Jesus’ heart was for us to be one, united with Jesus and the Father and one with each other. The modern church doesn’t quite look like this right now, but we can take steps to become more the church Jesus wants us to be and the church perhaps you really…

Resurrecting Spirit (John 14:18-27)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. The Holy Spirit helps us to live like Christ. Many of us fear that we don’t know how to hear the voice of the Spirit, but learning to listen to the Spirit is not nearly as difficult as we may think. 

Resurrecting the Christian (John 13:31-35)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. The word Christian has just about lost its meaning. Jesus desires to resurrect our purpose as Christians — to love one another as he has loved us.

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. 

Resurrecting Love (John 21:15-19)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Peter’s love got derailed, Jesus resurrected it. He wants to do the same for you. 

Resurrecting Faith

Savior

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Only those who realize their powerlessness really know that they need a savior.

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Nobody likes suffering, but God works for our good in ALL THINGS, including (and maybe especially) in suffering. 

Metanoia the Conclusion: Debt-Free Children

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Are you weighed down by the expectations and burdens of life? Christ has set us free to be God’s children. This is received, not earned! 

Metanoia the Conclusion: The Life Joined With Christ

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Most people, even Christians, live disconnected from God. God’s desire is to have his Spirit live within us. This life in true connection changes everything. It’s not something we have to chase, something we have to live up to. 

Metanoia the Conclusion: You Can’t Do It On Your Own

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. You can’t do good on your own. This is the lie of the flesh. This is sin–the lie that we can be whole without God. Sin is not just individual wrong-doing, it is a system where we try to earn our worthiness from our behavior. Real life is found in…

Metanoia: Build My Life

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. What foundation are we building our life upon? Most of us, despite what we say we believe, are building our lives upon ourselves and what we think is right. We can learn the sturdiest life that can withstand any storm is built upon the will of God and actually doing…

Metanoia: The Fruitful Life

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Our measure of success and “fruit” may be different than that of Jesus. The fruitful life is one that requires us to be intentional, to switch off the auto-pilot we are on much of the time, and to learn that doing the will of God truly leads to the truly…

Metanoia: The Community of Prayerful Love

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. We live in a frustrating world where we feel out of control, we can’t control God or others. Jesus invites us to his kingdom, a community where we make benevolent requests of each other and God, not controlling demands. God’s kingdom is a community of provision, generosity, and loving freedom.…

Metanoia: Judgement Free

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. We’re told not to judge, but it’s so hard! There’s a lot to judge, we live in a very judge-y world. Jesus wants to break you out of the system of judgement–of yourself or others. Freedom comes from being judgment-free! 

Metanoia: Better Than Anxiety

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Anxiety is an epidemic in America today. We can’t stop worrying, and it doesn’t seem like just willpower can solve our problem. Jesus gives us a greater reality to fix our minds upon, that can truly give us peace and joy in anxious times.

Metanoia: Behold

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Many people are living for things that don’t last. But even more so, these things become our TREASURE. Jesus is urging us to make our treasure something that truly lasts, and we will find out how to do that! 

Metanoia: The Kingdom Prayer, Part 2

Metanoia: The Kingdom Prayer, Part 1

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. We will begin exploring the famous Lord’s prayer and how this can be applicable for us today, not as a form prayer, but a prayer that aligns us with God’s kingdom–a kingdom where we have a holy heavenly father who fully provides for us. 

Discipleship and Money

Message from Pastor Tom Humphreys.But since you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you—see that you also excel in this grace of giving. 

Metanoia: In Secret

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. “All the world’s a stage.” It’s hard sometimes to not feel like we’re always performing. So who are we really when no one is looking? Jesus calls us to find God–and ourselves–in secret, where only God is watching. 

Metanoia: The End of Enemies

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. As we learn to live into the kingdom law, “love your neighbor as if they were you,” we find that the concept of an enemy no longer makes sense. The kingdom rightness demands that we love them. It’s not so easy, that’s why you got to practice loving in the Jesus…

Metanoia: True to Your Word

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. We use our words to hide our true meaning and to manipulate others. Jesus wants us to be true to our word and trust in God’s reign as king of the universe. We no longer need to manage outcomes. 

Metanoia: Roots, Pt 2

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Is the life Jesus wants for us the best sort of life? Many of us are not really convinced of this and what we desire in our flesh causes all sorts of problems for us. God desires us to live a life of selfless Christlike love where we honor and…

Metanoia: Roots, Pt 1

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Jesus wants to not just deal with the surface of our issues but wants to get at the root. When it comes to anger/hatred/violence, Jesus is concerned with the roots of bitterness and contempt so that we can become the people who naturally would not hate or harm others. 

Metanoia: Fulfilled

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. What do we do with the law? Jesus came not to abolish it, but to fulfill it–in us. We are supposed to be more righteous than the Pharisees as we move from legalism to having the heart of the law genuinely within us. 

Metanoia: The Light

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. We are called to be the light of the world, but it’s so easy in this world to lose our fire, as we are blown out by the winds of the world. We must stay lit, by the fire of the presence of God. The world needs us to be the…

Metanoia: Blessed

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Jesus’ declaration of who is truly blessed in this life is frankly shocking. What do we do with these non-desirable affirmations, such as being “poor in spirit?” It is here that we can find the kingdom, and the truly blessed life. 

Metanoia: The Gospel of the Kingdom

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. The kingdom of God is WITHIN US, God is not removed from our every day lives and problems, but the good news is that God can and will heal all of the “sickness” within us–physical, mental, spiritual. 

Metanoia: Letting Go

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. The most important step in our spiritual journey is letting go. Our world is all about what we gain and what we control, not what we lose and let go of, but Jesus teaches us that real life, love, joy, and peace comes from releasing and surrendering. 

Metanoia: Light up the Dark

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Jesus comes to light up the darkness, so we can open up our eyes to see that God is here and we have nothing to fear. 

Metanoia: Who Am I?

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Satan comes to challenge our identity as God’s beloved child; we are tempted every day to build our identity on something else. The roof of who we really are cannot come from what we do or the affirmations of this world–it comes from one thing alone. 

Metanoia: The Born Identity

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Our truest identity is being a child of God. This utterly simple truth is so hard for us to believe as we strive to be great in this world. We cannot achieve or earn this identity, it can only be received as a gift. 

Metanoia: Unquenchable Fire

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. The kingdom of the heavens is not about changing a few things, it’s about immersion into a new life. This means an end to the games we play in the old world. Jesus is coming with the fire of the spirit to burn it all up. 

Mentanoia – Kingdom (Has) Come

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Jesus has come to literally change the world (and all worlds). Nothing will ever be the same, and that’s a good thing. But truth is–There are some changes we really don’t want. Are you ready for the revolution of the kingdom of the heavens? 

Living Faith: Prayer of Faith

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. We are to pray in all circumstances as it expresses our dependence and trust i God. Prayer is a powerful tool for reconciliation and healing, but we sometimes forget that and we forget to use this powerful tool we’ve been given. 

Living Faith: The Purpose of Patience

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. We always hear that patience is a virtue. But for what purpose God is doing something in us by our learning and experiencing patience. 

Living Faith: What Is Your Life?

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. What is our life really worth? We make all kinds of plans and live for all kinds of things, but are they really things that are worthwhile? We can live a life for God full of purpose and meaning. 

Living Faith: Curing the Double-Mind

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. We are double-minded people. We know what we should do in God, but then there’s what we really want to do. We live in a world that encourages us to do what we want, what feels good in the moment. God offers us grace to learn true freedom in submission. 

Living Faith: Wisdom From Above

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. God’s wisdom is not a matter of boasting, it speaks for itself. This wisdom comes from above, we cannot get it or earn it on our own, but its purpose is for living here below. 

Living Faith: More Than Brushing Your Teeth

Message from Kevin Hong. Our tongues can be really nasty tools of destruction. But the core issue is not in the cleaning of the tongue itself. It is to cleanse and renew the source of which our tongues breathe: our souls. (James 3:1-12) 

Living Faith: Whole Love

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Here are “holes” in our love, or maybe it’s more that it’s in parts. This is what partiality is — inconsistent love. God wants to teach us how to bring all the parts together to make us whole! 

Living Faith: Right

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. We are meant to be “right” (righteous) as God is. But are we more concerned with feeling that we are ALREADY right rather than BECOMING right people? God wants us to make room for his word to make us RIGHTeous in how we actually treat others around us. 

Living Faith: Steadfast

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Learning to be steadfast in the trials of life makes us complete, lacking nothing! It is a kind of super power to know the absolute goodness of God no matter your circumstance. (Sorry for the mic not working from 33:25 to the end) 

The Story of Jesus: Resurrected Life

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. The resurrection represents a different reality that we can live into and experience, a life without fear, a life of love and bold proclamation of the gospel. 

The Story of Jesus: The Way of the Cross

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Jesus died for us, but he also told us to take up our cross too, to die to self, to experience death before resurrection. The cross is our most defining symbol for good reason; it is necessary! 

The Story of Jesus: Weak

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. We don’t like to acknowledge the truth that we are weaker than we think or present. We are not able to live for God as we say we will. Our weakness is true strength if we can learn the power of acceptance and surrender. 

The Story of Jesus: Grace

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Amidst betrayal, Jesus shares a meal with his betrayers and those who would very soon fail him. More than just sharing bread and wine, he gave himself for us. Gratitude and giving are paired together perfectly in a meal for all of us to remember and live out every day. 

The Story of Jesus: A Beautiful Thing

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. What do we have to give to God? The woman in this passage gives a costly offering that others criticize. Jesus calls it a beautiful thing, this gift done out of love. We can also offer God what we can, our own beautiful things. 

Story of Jesus: Stay Awake

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. We live our lives as if were asleep or unconscious way too often. We miss God and the beautiful moments He is sending us. We need to learn to be awake and stay awake! 

The Story of Jesus: The Coming of the Lord

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Jesus foretells some dark times for the disciples. It is not unexpected when we go through suffering, but he also warns us not to look for false saviors. Desolation comes before the coming of the Lord. 

The Story of Jesus: The Greatest

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. The two commands that trump everything else are about the same thing: love. The other things we make Christianity about are usually in sharp contrast to love. Love is the greatest. God wants us to receive his gift of love, to love ourselves. God, and everyone within our reach. 

The Story of Jesus: God of Now

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. The God that Jesus seemed to know is one who is immensely present right now, without idealizing our current reality or skipping ahead to better times. It is not perfect, but God is here now. 

The Story of Jesus: A Higher Power

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Kingdom authority is hard for us to accept. We don’t like being wrong. We don’t like being told what to do. To accept a higher power is to humbly accept our own limitations of what we can know. This is the key to knowing God. 

The Story of Jesus: Why You Mad?

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Anger and faith might seem like they don’t mix, but Jesus did get mad. Can you express anger and confront without sinning? Jesus did. And he forgave everything too. 

The Story of Jesus: Un-rolling Stones

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Some stones in life seem completely unmovable. Others just keep rolling and seem like they will never stop. Resurrection is the great reversal that proves that truly nothing is impossible for God. New life is always possible through Jesus the Christ. (Sorry about the audio quality… we are working to…

The Story of Jesus: Save

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Jesus the king we misunderstood came not to conquer violently but to humbly give up his life as a ransom so that we can be saved. 

The Story of Jesus: Desire

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Desire might seem like a dirty word for a lot of Christians, but Jesus does not silence our desires. He brings them out of us, and answers our deepest longings but not always in the ways we expect. 

The Story of Jesus: Treasure

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Jesus teaching on wealth and possessions helps reveal to us where our true treasure lies… and what true treasure really is. If we can let go the way Jesus suggests, we can have it all, by not possessing at all. 

The Story of Jesus: One Flesh

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Maybe no other teaching of Jesus makes modern people more uncomfortable than his teaching on divorce. Instead of avoiding or downplaying it, perhaps there is much for us to learn about what it means to consider others as sharing the same flesh as us and to have our hardened hearts transformed…

The Story of Jesus: The Greatest Loser

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. 

The Story of Jesus: Help My Unbelief

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. The man in the story believes in Jesus… and yet he still struggles with believing that Jesus can affect his life right now. This is the spiritual state for a lot of us, whose minds can’t stop arguing with our fears and insecurities— and refuses to sink into faith in…

The Story of Jesus: Glorious Kingdom (NOW)

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. We seek glorious things and avoid the scandalous, but the greatest revealed glory of Jesus comes in his scandalous cross. 

The Story of Jesus: Death Before Life

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. There is a necessary death we need to experience to our expectations of God and what he intends our lives to be. But if we can die, we can truly be free and experience the life God has for us. 

The Story of Jesus: Remember

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. We remember our mistakes, our shortcomings, our fears–all the wrong things, but what we need to remember is the identity of the Christ who is with us now! 

Faithful Feet

Message from Pastor Jeff Abiera. You were called to carry out the mission of spreading the joy found in Christ. Do it with excellence, passion, and focus. Every decision you make has the potential to make an eternal impact. Serve God by serving others. 

The Story of Jesus: The Missing Ingredient

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. We often do not experience the full power of God today. Perhaps it is because we lack a certain vital ingredient. What is it we lack? Could it be that the thing we lack most in an entitled world is true humility? 

The Story of Jesus: What Defiles

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. 

The Story of Jesus: Rise Above

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. We all face storms and choppy waters in life. How do we rise above it? Sometimes, all of our swimming, all of our efforts are not enough. Jesus can rise above it. He did and he does still. And he wants to help us to do the same. 

The Story of Jesus: Enough Rest

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Do you feel like you are never fully rested? Jesus wants to take us to a place of rest. But rest may not come how we expect. It didn’t for the disciples, who found enough rest through radical dependence on Jesus’ provision. 

The Story of Jesus: Unworthy Kings

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Jesus is the rightful king, but we will take a look at some wrongful kings. They are not just the biblical kind who run around giving people orders. Unworthy kings exist in our lives — and we give them our kingdoms unwittingly. 

The Story of Jesus: Rejects

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Being rejected is the worst. Jesus was rejected for us. And he called the rejects to be powerful kingdom ambassadors, even though they might still be rejected by the world. 

The Story of Jesus: Courageous Trust

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Two stories that both involve courageous faith in the face of shame, ridicule, and pain. Jesus beckons us to trust in him in a way that rises above our fear. 

The Story of Jesus: The Question

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Being with Jesus is wonderful, but it’s not always comfortable. Could it be that some people actually don’t want to be with Jesus? Do you? That is the question. 

The Story of Jesus: Good Things

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. God desires to build his kingdom within us. This is a big grand project and it takes time. We must learn to tend that seed and wait upon it—in a time when we scarcely know how to wait any more. It is well worth the wait! 

The Story of Jesus: Good Seed/Good Soil

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. What does it mean to have the good soil that allows for explosive kingdom fruitfulness? We might think the problem is the seed or the soil, but the real issue is all that we allow to block our souls from letting God fully reign in us. 

The Story of Jesus: Holy Spirit

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Jesus’ teaching that the only unforgivable sin is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is one of his most puzzling teachings. We will try to understand this teaching by exploring fundamentally what the Holy Spirit is all about and how we are called to respond to it and make room for…

The Story of Jesus: Follow

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Discipleship was a simple thing in Jesus time–it meant to follow Jesus around and learn to be like him. Is that still possible today? Modern Christians often treat discipleship as optional but we miss out on its amazing transformational power. 

The Story of Jesus: Without

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Religion gets a bad rap nowadays but the real problem is religion WITHOUT God. Does our religious practice bring us closer to Jesus and the heart of his ministry, or farther away? 

The Story of Jesus: With

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. The amazing good news is that the Messiah came to be with us. He will do anything to remove the boundaries that keep us from him. 

The Story of Christ: Willing to Heal

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Jesus is willing to heal us in every way we need healing. This goes beyond just physical healing to emotional, spiritual, and mental parts of us. How we get this healing is by learning to be with Jesus and to let him fully be the lord in all that we…

The Story of Christ: Kingdom Disciples

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus and to live for his kingdom now? For the first disciples it meant they were going fishing for people. What kinds of people? Let’s just say that the disciples probably weren’t too thrilled. 

The Story of Christ – Prepare

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Who is Jesus? What is this good news about? The story of Jesus the Christ begins with a preparing of the people to receive this man with this good news. Are we ready to receive him? Are we ready for his Spirit to truly lead us? 

The Words of Life

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. The words of Jesus are the words of eternal life, but they can also be hard to hear. Are we able to hear life-giving words even when they are what we don’t want to hear at the moment? 

The Grace Experience: The Servant Experience

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Is it really more blessed to serve than to be served? It sounds good on paper but is it true? The grace isn’t always in how you feel, but in how God uses service to shape us in his image. 

The Grace Experience: The Perseverance Experience

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. What do we do when we fail and fall short in discipline and in our attempts to become like Christ? We experience God’s grace and we persevere. Jesus gives us the grace to persevere. 

The Grace Experience: When You Don’t Feel Like It

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Experiencing grace is easy… when your feelings and life cooperate. But when they don’t, how do we experience grace when we need it most? (Spoiler alert: it’s discipline) 

The Grace Experience: The Kingdom Experience

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. “Your will be done. Your kingdom come.” What does it mean to pray this over your life on a consistent basis? How can we experience the reign of God in our lives right now? So glad you asked – let’s experience the kingdom together! 

The Grace Experience: The Blessing Experience

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. You were called to bless others, even when they mistreat you. This is the most blessed life, to be a blessing and so to be more blessed. 

The Grace Experience: Keeping the Word

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Jesus tells us that if we love him, we will keep his word. Keeping the scripture in our lives is an important discipline and means of receiving God’s grace, that we can remember all that God desires to teach us. 

The Grace Experience: The Grace Identity

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Our identity drives who we are. What we need most is to have our identity anchored in our divine adoption as a son and daughter of a living God, and we need to be reminded of who we are on a daily basis. 

The Grace Experience: Receiving Grace Everyday

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Grace is given to all, but not all receive it. It’s closer than you think. It’s free. And it’s wonderful. If we would only just receive. 

Truth is…: Declaration of Dependence

Massage from Pastor Steve Khang.
