Jesus, It's You!

We all have a deep longing for belonging, but fear or past hurts often keep us from engaging in true community. This week, Pastor Daniel Lee introduces the "Johari Window" framework to show how the Holy Spirit uses faith communities—like Rooted, Life Groups, or Celebrate Recovery—to move us out of hiding and into transformation.By bringing our hidden sins, blind spots, and unknown fears into the open "arena" of supportive relationships, we invite God’s healing light. Discover why the phrase "come as you are" is an invitation to bring your authentic self to church so that, step by step, you can become exactly who God created you to be.

Sometimes we feel lost and overwhelmed by the giant obstacles in our lives. This week, Pastor Stephen Han dives into the book of Numbers to show us that a true "Epic Moment" begins when we choose to trust a God who is bigger than any mountain we face. Discover how to trade your fear for courage and step into the plans He has for you.

Motherhood carries a weight that words can’t always describe—a mix of deep joy, heavy grief, and everything in between. This Mother’s Day, we hear directly from the hearts of three moms in our community as they share what they have learned about God through their unique journeys of motherhood. From navigating the heartbreak of loss to the long journey of adoption and the transition into raising adult children, these stories remind us that God’s love is present in both our most beautiful and our most broken moments. Whether you are in the thick of the toddler years, the "weeding and pruning" of the teenage years, or a child of God looking for restoration, we hope these stories encourage you.

What if your cynicism isn’t just about you, but a story that began generations ago? In the conclusion of our series, guest speaker Pastor Steve Chang explores how cynicism can become a communal and generational cycle. By tracing the history of the Hebrew people, we see how the "suffering" of one generation leads to the "self-reliance" of the next, eventually resulting in a generation that "does not know the Lord." This message challenges us to break the cycle by recognizing that while generational brokenness is real, generational grace is more powerful when we submit to the King of Kings. 

What if the real problem isn’t just cynicism… but the way we think there are only two options?In Part 2 of this series, Pastor Tom explores the tension between being naive and becoming cynical—and how Jesus offers a completely different way. Drawing from Matthew 10, we’re invited to live with eyes wide open while refusing to let our hearts become hardened.This message challenges us to examine where cynicism has taken root in our lives and offers a practical path forward: name it, trace it, and pray it.Rather than settling for a life that is guarded and closed off, Jesus calls us back to something deeper—a posture that is both wise and pure, grounded and open, honest yet hopeful.If you’ve ever found yourself becoming more critical, more guarded, or more tired of disappointment, this message is for you

Why is it that we’ve become so quick to doubt and so slow to believe? In an age of misinformation and broken trust, cynicism has become the dominant spirit of our age—a protective shell we wear to keep from being disappointed again.In part one of our series, Pastor Tom Kang provides a diagnosis for this "smugness" that chokes our capacity for joy. We often mistake cynicism for discernment, but while true discernment draws us closer to God, cynicism only pushes Him away. Discover why the answer isn't just "being more positive," but learning the holy art of lament—honestly bringing our wounds to God instead of hiding behind a smirk.

In a world filled with more information and convenience than ever before, why are we more anxious than any generation in history? This week, Pastor Anthony Miller dives into the Sermon on the Mount to tackle the universal struggle of worry and how it affects our spiritual health.Worry is more than just a feeling; it is often a signal of a trust gap between us and God. By exploring Jesus' teachings in Matthew 6, this message reveals how we can trade our "what-ifs" for a posture of worship. Discover practical ways to replace anxiety with gratitude and learn how to restore a deep, abiding peace that isn't dependent on your circumstances.

He is risen! This Easter Sunday, Pastor Tom Kang concludes our Journey to Jerusalem series with a powerful message titled "Jesus, It's You!"Through the lens of Mary Magdalene’s encounter at the empty tomb, we discover that the resurrection is more than just a historical event—it’s a personal invitation. We often look right at Jesus without recognizing Him, blinded by our grief, our past, or our own expectations. But just as He called Mary by name in the garden, He is calling you today.Join us as we celebrate the hope that changes everything: the realization that our failure is not our future, and that the Risen Christ has been seeking us all along.

In the final week of our Journey to Jerusalem series, guest speaker Pastor Josh Howard challenges us with the story of the Rich Young Ruler. We often check all the spiritual boxes while still feeling empty inside.Josh asks a vital question: What is the "one thing" you refuse to give up for Jesus?. Compared to eternity, our life here is just a "three-day hotel stay". Don’t let earthly idols keep you from an intimate relationship with the King who can break every chain.

In week five of our Journey to Jerusalem Lenten series, Pastor Tom Kang dives into one of the most famous stories ever told: The Parable of the Prodigal Son.While we often focus on the rebellion of the younger brother or the resentment of the older brother, this message centers on the "reckless love" of the Father. Pastor Tom explains the profound cultural significance of the Father running—an act of self-humiliation intended to protect his son from the shame of the community.Whether you feel like the wanderer who has lost their way or the "good" brother who has lost their heart, this story reminds us that God isn't waiting for us to get our act together before He moves. He is already running toward us, ready to trade our shame for a seat at His feast.
