Living Everyday with Jesus

❖ Video ❖ Audio (Message) Living Everyday with Jesus (Matthew 28:8-10, John 21:20-23) Andy Nagahara It’s Easter morning. People say “Happy Easter” to each other, but what’s so auspicious/festive  about it? That is because the events of Easter are the evidence that Jesus, who was crucified, has been resurrected and is now your companion for life. Do you realize that Jesus is walking with you through your life? This morning I would like to share two things with you to help you realize that you are walking with Jesus. Let’s start by reading Matthew 28:8-10. 1. Jesus said, “I will see you in Galilee.” (Matthew 28:8-10) 8 So the women…

Who is Your King?

❖ Video ❖ Audio (Message) Who is Your King? Palm Sunday (John12:12-19,19:14-18) Mari Ikeda Today is Palm Sunday, the Sunday one week before Easter. The reason why it is called Palm Sunday can be found in today’s passage. Let’s read it. It is from the Gospel of John 12:12-19. 12 The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. 13 They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the king of Israel!” 14 Jesus found a young donkey and sat on…

To protect yourself from temptation

❖ Video ❖ Audio (Message) To protect yourself from temptation (Proverbs 2:10-22) Andy Nagahara Let’s read Proverbs again today. Today’s text teaches us about the temptations that can derail our path to a good life. Even if we give in to temptation, in most cases we can change our mind and start over. But recovery can require great sacrifices. There are many people who meet Jesus when they are young and begin to walk with him, but eventually turn their backs on him and spend most of their lives without following him. Some have been able to return to Jesus in later years. However, they still regret that they spent…

How Much Do We Love Jesus?

❖ Video ❖ Audio (Message) How Much Do We Love Jesus? John 12:1-8 (Fourth Sunday of Lent ) Mari Ikeda Today, if reading in order, would be the time for the “Theology of Disability and Interdependence” series, but with Easter coming up, I decided to continue with the series on the Gospel of John. I did so because if we read the passages in order, we would read the Palm Sunday passage just in time for Palm Sunday. For those of you who have been looking forward to the disability series, please wait for next month. The title of today’s message is the question, “How much do we love Jesus?”…

Vintage Wine and Pots of Meat

❖ Video ❖ Audio (Message) Vintage Wine and Pots of Meat (Luke 5:37-39, 9:57-62, Exodus 16:1-3) Andy Nagahara A month ago I talked about what kind of church Your Church is, and today I’m going to continue with that. I’m sorry to anyone who saw today’s title and photo and expected an interesting story. I apologize in advance, but what I talk to you today is going to be an unpleasant, like astringent wine or tough meat. 1. New Wineskins (Luke 5:37-39) Now, let’s read the Gospel of Luke 5:37-39. And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins, the…
