Who is My Neighbor? | Poured Out Series |Week 2

A Perfect Father | Father's Day Message | Pastor Shea Takazono

This Father's Day, we go searching the Bible for great dads... and come up surprisingly short. Joseph disappears from the story. Abraham nearly sacrifices his son. Job loses everything. Even the most touching father figure in Scripture — the dad in the Prodigal Son — turns out to be a parable, not a real man. So what does that tell us? That every flawed, imperfect father points us toward a perfect one. In this message, we dig into the question so many of us silently carry: "Am I enough?" — and discover that the answer isn't found by looking within, but by understanding who God says we are as His sons and daughters. We'll talk about radical freedom, real belonging, and what it actually feels like to call God "Abba" — Dad. Plus, a personal story of financial stress, fear, and unexpected provision that reshaped one pastor's understanding of what it means to have a Father who says, "I got you."

Filled to be Pour Out | Poured Out Series | Week 4

This Sunday, we continued our Holy Spirit Poured Out series by exploring what it truly means to live a Spirit-filled life. Through Ephesians 5 and Acts 4, we were reminded that being filled with the Holy Spirit is not a one-time experience but a continual return to God's presence. Pastor Shay shared how, in every season of life, we are called to stay connected to the Source so that God's love, wisdom, and power can flow through us. Rather than striving to do more in our own strength, we are invited to be continually filled so we can be poured out for others. We also took time to honor Ashok and his family, celebrating their faithful service and blessing them as they step into their next God-given assignment.

Blessed to be a Blessing | Poured out Series | Week 3

This Sunday, we explored how the Holy Spirit empowers us to serve others through love. We were reminded that the blessings God gives us are not meant to stop with us—they are meant to flow through us. Just as Jesus came to serve, we are called to use our unique gifts to love, encourage, and impact those around us. The question is: How will you use what God has given you to be a blessing this week?

Who is My Neighbor? | Poured Out Series |Week 2

This Sunday’s message focused on the transformative power of the Holy Spirit to help us love others the way Jesus loves us. Through Galatians 5 and the Parable of the Good Samaritan, we explored how Spirit-filled living produces love, mercy, patience, and compassion—even toward people who are difficult to love. Pastor Shea reminded us that true Christlike love doesn’t come from our own strength but flows from experiencing God’s love first. As we stay connected to Jesus, the Holy Spirit empowers us to move toward broken people with mercy, reflecting the heart of Christ in our everyday relationships.

Pentecost Sunday | Poured Out Series | Week 1

This past Sunday’s message, “Poured Out: Living by the Holy Spirit,” focused on what it truly means to live a Spirit-filled life. Through Acts 2 and Ephesians 1, the message reminded us that the Holy Spirit is not just a force or feeling, but the very presence of God living within believers. We were encouraged to see that being Spirit-led isn’t about perfection or performance, but about belonging to God, walking in love, and allowing the Holy Spirit to transform us daily. From bold faith and healing to patience, kindness, and everyday obedience, the message challenged us to ask: What does a Spirit-filled life look like in this season of my life?
