On the final Sunday of 2025, this message calls the church to pause, reflect, and wake up to what God is doing. It reminds us that we often don’t recognize “last moments” until they’ve passed, and invites us to ask where we may have been spiritually asleep. Centered on Jesus’ life of prayer and the Lord’s Prayer, the message encourages simple, honest, and daily dependence on God as we step into a new year—not rushing ahead with our own plans, but learning to pray, listen, and align our hearts...

At Christmas, we celebrate more than a moment in history—we celebrate a miracle that changes everyday life. In “The Miracle of God With Us,” we explore how our deepest longings for hope, peace, joy, love, and belonging were never meant to be rare or unreachable, but part of God’s design for life with Him. Through Matthew 1 and Isaiah 9, we see Jesus not only as Savior, but as Immanuel—God with us—revealing both His mission and His nature. This message invites us to stop striving for what we c...
In the final week of our Advent series, “Expecting God,” we’ll unpack one of the most overlooked, but most inspiring figures in the Christmas story: Anna. Just like runners who hit “The Wall” at Mile 20 during a marathon, many of us know what it feels like to grow weary while waiting on God. Through Anna’s decades of heartbreak, loss, devotion, and unwavering worship, we discover what expectancy that endures truly looks like. Whether you’re waiting for a breakthrough in your family, career, r...
Unmet expectations can potentially dull our faith. But even in our disbelief, God remains faithful! Zechariah and Elizabeth, a righteous couple who served God their entire lives, longed for a child, but years of disappointment dulled their hope. Nevertheless, God heard their prayers. When God sent word of an imminent miracle, Zechariah couldn't believe it --- and his silence became a space for renewal. Just like Zechariah, our long times of waiting and disappointment can hinder our faith, but...
This weekend we talk about the tension between expectations and expectancy. We all walk into the Christmas season carrying hopes, plans, and pressures — and when God doesn’t meet our expectations, discouragement can creep in. But Mary shows us a better way. When her plans were disrupted, she moved from control to surrender…from “God, do it my way” to “Lord, let it be according to Your word.” Expectations box God in. Expectancy invites God in. And when we open our hands like Mary, we make room...
In Luke 5, Levi left his booth and made room for Jesus. God looks for people who make room in presence. This message challenges us to create space — not by simply slowing down, but by showing up with intention, focus, and faith. To love others whole heartedly, purely and genuinely we must encounter the Lord. How might our very lives live the gospel of Jesus Christ and be the invitation for others to come and see that the Lord is good? Discussion Questions: What does “Let love set the table” ...
This week at C4, Stephanie Anderson continues our series Setting the Table with a powerful reminder that presence matters more than perfection. Through the story of the road to Emmaus in Luke 24, we see how Jesus reveals Himself in simple moments—especially around the table. When we choose gratitude, pursue His presence, and open our lives with genuine hospitality, God multiplies our impact far beyond what we imagine. Be encouraged to slow down, remove distractions, and make room for people w...
When life feels like “not enough,” Jesus shows us another way. In Luke 9:10–17, the disciples stare at their lack; Jesus looks up and gives thanks—then thousands are fed. In this message, we’ll unpack how gratitude changes what we notice, how grateful people become available people, and why abundance is for stewarding, not hoarding. Discussion Questions: Read Luke 9:10–17. What differences do you see between the disciples’ perspective and Jesus’ perspective? Where do you most relate right now...

Kicking off our annual "Kingdom Offering" campaign, we are sharing our vision for training and equipping Christians to walk boldly in their God-given callings in all arenas of life through the C4 School of Supernatural Leadership.

Read Acts 11:26b-30 2. Key Ideas from this past Sunday: - Giving Togethe...
As the book of Acts ends, the story of God’s mission doesn’t. Luke leaves the story open, inviting us to step into the next chapter. In this message, we’ll unpack Acts 28:17–31 and see that the Gospel has traveled from Jerusalem to Rome and now to the ends of the earth—including right here in Honolulu. We are called to live as Spirit-empowered witnesses, not just to know the Great Commission but to live it out—through courage, consistency, and Christ-like love. The book of Acts may end, but J...
The Holy Spirit speaks to each one of us, moving us into mission in our own life circumstances. Sometimes, the Spirit prompts us to make drastic moves; sometimes, the Spirit nudges us to walk reach out to our family, friends, or neighbors. The Spirit continues to actively empower us to share the gospel with those around us. Especially when we encounter spiritual opposition. But rather than obey the voice of the Holy Spirit do we sometimes opt for avoiding unpleasant or awkward interactions wi...
Week 4 of our Acts series reminds us that followers of Jesus are Spirit-empowered witnesses. In this message, we explore how the Holy Spirit still speaks, sends, and strengthens everyday disciples—whether across the world or across the street. Pastor Chad unpacks the 6 marks of an Antioch Church. Expect practical steps, honest challenges, and fresh faith to hear and obey the Spirit in your life this week. Discussion Questions: 1. In your own words, what does it mean to be a “Spirit-empowered...
Acts 10 is a major turning point in God's story --- not just in Acts, but in the entire story of Scripture. The Spirit sends Peter to preach the gospel to a Roman Centurion, and the gospel breaks out to all the nations of the earth. And yet, this story isn't just about "the nations." It's also a story about Peter. God wants to shift Peter's perspective to God's heart for the lost. And God also wants to do the same thing for us: God wants us to have his heart for the lost. Discussion Questio...
This week we continued our series in the book of Acts, looking at how the gospel spread beyond Jerusalem into Judea and Samaria—even in the face of persecution. Through the story of Philip, we’re reminded that God uses ordinary people in extraordinary ways, and that His gospel is unstoppable. Just like Philip, we are all called to step out, be Spirit-empowered witnesses, and bring the hope of Jesus into our circles of influence. Be encouraged: even in seasons of hardship or discomfort, God is...
This week we launch our new series Activated and Empowered: A Missional Journey Through the Book of Acts. Pastor Chad unpacks Acts 1:1–11, reminding us that followers of Jesus are Spirit-empowered witnesses. The same Spirit that empowered the early church is alive in us today—charging us with God’s power, breaking the idol of comfort, and sending us into our families, neighborhoods, and the nations as living witnesses of Jesus. We’re not called to just stand staring at the sky—we’re called to...
On Anniversary Sunday, we celebrate the favor of God over our church’s story—His faithfulness through challenges, His blessings of growth, and the lives transformed along the way. Looking to our future as being a multi-site church, we’ll hear from the Pastors of both New Life Church and The Testimony Church as they share how God is moving in both Downtown and Central Oahu.
On Anniversary Vision Sunday, we celebrate the favor of God over our church’s story—His faithfulness through challenges, His blessings of growth, and the lives transformed along the way. Looking back fills us with gratitude, but God’s favor always points us forward. Just like pregnancy carries both joy and responsibility, we believe God has entrusted us with a vision that requires faith, stewardship, and sacrifice. Together, we’re stepping into a new season to reach and impact more lives. Th...
God gives us the armor we need to stand firm against the enemy’s schemes. Victory comes not by striving harder, but by standing strong in God’s strength and protection. Discussions Questions: 1. Do you find it hard to stand firm against the enemy’s schemes? 2. Is there a piece of your spiritual armor that feels weak? 3. Who do you know that has a powerful prayer life that you would be willing to ask to mentor you for a season? 4.If you feel strong in your prayer life, would you be...
