Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!

The Lord's timing is perfect however you look at it.  The Bible reminds us to put our hope in Him.  It is not just the right thing to do but a "good" way because we can easily recognize the salvation of the Lord.  

When Jesus was born on earth, everyone was busy.  But the shepherds weren't and the wise men were not. Because of their spirit, they saw and beheld the salvation of the Lord - who is Jesus Christ Himself.   This Christmas, take the time, step back, and wait, it just might be the best thing you will do this season. 

I want to thank you for your patience.  Even though our Christmas service on Christmas Day was cancelled, the day following is Sunday and a perfect day for worship.  Join us in person or online as we bid farewell to 2021.  Another good news is that the Community Food Distribution with :Waipahu Community Christian Church went well.   

I pray for all of you.  Be strong, be vigilant and do everything you can to protect yourself and never lose your focus on Jesus.  The headline this season is not Omicron, but our Savior - Christ the Lord.  He is Immanuel, God with us.  Don't forget to leave a comment below or click share to send to someone this Christmas update.  

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

  Hello!  I am looking forward to connecting with you this Friday at the social.  May I ask for your help to prepare for the event?  Before we talk about food, let's talk about people.  I would suggest that we put emphasis on college and young adults (C-YA) this month.  Pastor Philip, Johnny, and I identified a large number of C-YA within Living Faith and we want them to feel loved by our church family! Our resident C-YA include : Jenna, Joanna, Daniel, Johnson, Theresa, Michael, Christine, Alex, Henry, Vanessa, Riley, Isaac, Grace. C-YA home for summer include : Nathan, Andy, Austin, Kyle, Alissa, Caleb (June 15), Michelle (end of June), and Rachel (July 8). Other C-YA we know include : Cici, Jalen, Abigail, Crista, Alex & Daniel Z, Jason, Cindy..., etc. See, there are lots of C-YA!  Who will you personally invite to the social (besides yourself)?    Now, let's talk about food! The favorite dorm food according to Annie is spaghetti with meat sauce, garlic bread, tossed sal

Happy Thanksgiving

There are a lot of things that set you apart from this world.  One of these is being grateful to God.  The Apostle Paul wrote, as far as you are concerned is in Christ Jesus, you give thanks for everything - this is God's will.   I want to thank God for my family, who had been my love and inspiration.  I thank God for you, Living Faith Baptist Church  because you enrich and encourage us.   I praise God for my extended family - yes beyond my family and the church is my extended family - and they range from people who are deeply connected to me from both near and far, and people who I meet every day.   These past two years had been a struggle for many of us.   A lot has been redefined for us but make no mistake when you are a believer in Jesus Christ, your spiritual journey continues on, your church family moves forward with you and your eternal destiny will never change.  These next few weeks, we will venture into the first chapters of Matthew that will lead us to study the first C
