One of the most amazing historical places that my wife and I visited while in Israel was the Garden of Gethsemane. You might be familiar with the story of Jesus praying in this garden. It was at the night of His arrest, before He would give His life for humanity on the cross. Of all things He could do or places He could go, why might Jesus bring his disciples to pray in this specific place? Today, we are gonna get some insight into the power of prayer, and what Jesus was teaching His disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane. Aloha! Send us a text message. We'd love to hear from you.…
What does it mean when the bible says to love one another? Now, of course we know love. We love our spouse, children, parents, family, and even friends. We show our love through our relationships and the way that we care for each other. Love has so many meanings, and is revealed in so many ways, but what does the bible teach us about love? Why is it that in the world today, we can be divided about love, when by its very own nature, we would expect to be united? Today, we are gonna get insight into the love of Jesus as He demonstrates washing His disciples feet, and teaches about loving one another. Aloha! Send us a text message. We'd love to hear from you.…
Do you need peace in your life? Has life been a rollercoaster of business, hardships, and struggle? Are your thoughts burdened with critical thinking, hurt, and even anxiety? I want to encourage you that there is hope in Jesus, and He brings peace to the storms in our life. Isaiah 9:6 NKJV says, 6 For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor,[ d ] Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Today, we are gonna learn about how we find peace in Jesus, and how Jesus remains the Prince of Peace in our life. Aloha! Send us a text message. We'd love to hear from you.…
Have you ever started watching a movie from the middle of the movie, and not knowing anything about the beginning? It can be a fun challenge right? Or maybe we're just completely lost because we don't really know how things came to be the way they are. Well, did you know our story with God is kind of like that? I heard from a pastor once, who shared an amazing perspective on life, and he gave us this picture of coming into the movie late. In the story of creation, from the time that God created everything, we are in a sense, born into the movie late. And just like a movie, when we come in late, it's difficult to understand how things came to be, and what is actually taking place. Doesn't this sound like life? What is my purpose? Why is the world the way it is today? Why is there so much darkness, corruption, and pain? And so just like we do in the movies, when we lean over to ask our friends what happened in the beginning, let's lean over to the Word of God as we ask, what we were created for. Aloha!

Isaiah 55:9 says, "For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts." If we can just take a moment to picture what is being said, we are reminded how much greater God’s love and way of thinking is. In this episode we dive in to learning about how God knows what we really need. Aloha! Send us a text message. We'd love to hear from you.…
