Renewal Church

We take a break this week in our sermon series on deacons to learn from Paster Mark about spiritual leadership in the church. He teaches out of 1st Corinthians about how wrong judgements cause division, and also how unity in the church can be achieved through humility.

We are back with Pastor Ulysses as he teaches the second lesson of a three-part series on deacons. Today we learn not about what deacons do, but instead about the character of deacons. And the character traits discussed would ideally apply to all christians, not just those seeking to become deacons.

This week we take a break from the book of John to start a series on deacons. In this first part of the series, we learn what exactly do deacons do and their responsibilities based off various interpretations of scripture.

How committed are you to living out Christian principles in your everyday life? As Pastor Ulysses walks us through Jesus' trial before Pontius Pilate, we realize even Pilate, who seemingly had a strong moral compass, succumbed to the pressure from the Jewish leaders and the crowd to sentence Jesus to crucifixion. In this sermon we learn the key to holding our principles firm despite today's culture pushing against the teachings of the bible.

Pastor David Kim joins us today and teaches on what Jesus has to say about community, especially in this world of loneliness and isolation. What does it mean to have an intentional community? Why is it so important? Pastor Kim walks us through five core practices of what it means to love one another well, so we can experience more of God’s presence and power in our lives.

We are back with Pastor Mark as he finishes up the series on the story of Joseph. This time, the focus is on God’s ultimate purpose for the gospel message. Forgiveness, redemption, and salvation are all very important concepts, but Mark suggests that reconciliation is the ultimate goal.
