Aloha ‘Ohana!
I’m looking forward to celebrating our Risen Lord and Savior with you and the Family of God all over the world this Sunday!
It will be a great time to gather your friends and family, inviting them to church – ours or somewhere!
I wrote a Reflections Devotional to give you as a gift this Sunday, to celebrate Jesus’ everyday aloha.


Peter: An Everyday Disciple
Do you know much about Peter, the disciple of Jesus? What stories have you read or heard about him?
You are likely familiar with the rooster and Peter’s denial of Jesus. Or maybe to the story of Jesus rebuking Peter – when He rebuked Satan! That was gnarly! Wasn’t it Peter who jumped out of a boat in the middle of the storm and walked on water to meet Jesus?
Peter’s reputation was known to be brash, bold, and brave – a disciple who stuck his foot in his mouth a little too often.
When you read about Peter’s ministry in the Acts of the Apostles and his letters, 1st and 2nd Peter… and you go…”WOWZAH! This Peter is a Bold Everyday Lover of Jesus! He seemed to be an everyday lover of Jesus!
- He learned great lessons through his failures – and so can we!
- Peter kept following Jesus, even after failing Jesus – and so we will!
- Jesus never stopped loving Peter – and so He never stops loving you and I!
I love Peter’s exaltation of God the Father! By HIs great mercy, which includes HIs love, the Father has given us new birth – new beginnings – new days with new breaths – into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus! And we can say WOWZAH GOD THE FATHER! THANK YOU JESUS!
Let’s continue to be thankful worshippers …with everyday love for our Godhead! He is sooooo Tov!

OUR CURRENT SERIES!

What would our lives look like – what would the world look like… if God’s people grew in love with Jesus every day?
Knowing the kind of Christ follower I can be at times; complacent, fleshy, and focused on ME … I bet I would put a big smile on God the Father’s face if I acted more like a full-time Christian.
If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross daily, and follow me. Luke 9:23 NLT
I know His love is unconditional and He accepts me no matter what, but maturity in my relationship with Jesus is expected…right?! One thing I must continue to commit to EVERY DAY is to give up my own way. That’s rough many times. But with God’s Spirit living in me, He is faithful to speak to and direct me one day, one moment at at time.
EVERYDAY JESUS 2025! This is my mantra and I hope you will include it as yours.
GOD IS TOV, all the time… and all the time, GOD IS TOV!
