❖ Video ❖ Audio (Message) Cry out of the depths to the Lord!(Psalm 130, Matthew 26:36-39) Andy Nagahara Next week is Easter, which commemorates the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Just one week earlier, on this Sunday, Jesus had come to Jerusalem riding on a colt. At that time, Gospel of John tells us that the people welcomed Jesus by waving palm leaves. That’s why this Sunday is called Palm Sunday. The prophet Zechariah had predicted this event 600 years ago: Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout, Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and having salvation, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt,…

❖ Video ❖ Audio (Message) Job’s roller coaster life(Job) Martin Kadir For whatever reason, I was drawn to Job, in my early teenage years. My favorite thing was a plastic bracelet where we could choose letters of the alphabet to insert. I inserted the letter J-O-B at that time.Although until this morning when I read passage by passage, verse by verse.

❖ Video ❖ Audio (Message) Do You Really Know Jesus?(John 7:25-31) Mari Ikeda      The title of today’s message is a bit of a challenging question. Whether you are not yet a believer in Jesus or have lived most of your life believing in Him, I hope that today you will reexamine what you know and believe about Him. None of us can know everything about God in our lifetime. Therefore, we need to always humbly reexamine ourselves to see if we think we know Jesus when we really don’t, or if we think we know God when we really don’t. By reexamining ourselves, we will be able to…

❖ Video ❖ Audio (Message) Bless in the name of the Lord(Psalm 129) Andy Nagahara 0 A song of ascents.1 They have greatly oppressed me from my youth– let Israel say–2 they have greatly oppressed me from my youth, but they have not gained the victory over me.3 Plowmen have plowed my back and made their furrows long.4 But the LORD is righteous; he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.5 May all who hate Zion be turned back in shame.6 May they be like grass on the roof, which withers before it can grow;7 with it the reaper cannot fill his hands, nor the one who…

❖ Video ❖ Audio (Message) Even When Going Through Storms(Luke 8:22-25) Jaelee Bae 11 Now at the festival the Jewish leaders were watching for Jesus and asking, “Where is he?” 12 Among the crowds there was widespread whispering about him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others replied, “No, he deceives the people.” 13 But no one would say anything publicly about him for fear of the leaders. “One day Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Let us go over to the other side of the lake.’” (v.22) This is the third time I have come to Your Church. The first two times was when I was attending Tokyo Union…
