As we wrap up our "Essentials" series, we tackle a subject that tends to be tough for many to hear. How generosity is essential to our growth as Christians. The truth is that living a generous life helps us to know God better and trust Him more. God was generous with us and gave His Son as a gift, so, we should be inspired to be generous as well. Inviting God into your finances helps us to see where we are at and how to take our next step forward from there. Forsaking the "consumption assumption", we prepare our hearts to always ask where our resources need to go, each time they touch our hands. And a heart of generosity helps us to love God and love others. The ultimate truth this week is that generosity is essential to maturing in Christ. - Key Verses // John 3:16, 2 Corinthians 8:7, 2 Corinthians 9:7 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

Inviting God: Wk. 12 (The Gospel)
Inviting God – Wk. 11 (Invitation to New Purpose)
What does it mean to be fully known and loved by God? Can we trust that this is a good thing for us? Karen Green looks at how her understanding and experience of God have grown over years, and considers Psalm 139's reflection that trusting God and growing a relationship with him can lead to intimacy and the release of anxiety. Can this help us to grow in love for people and enjoy a better quality of life?
Inviting God – Wk. 10 (Invitation to Community)
In this "how-to" and "identity" episode, we will look at some basic questions and answers about how to increase your intimacy and, make the most out of your encounters with Jesus. Jesus shares why He wanted me to create the Experience Jesus podcast. Dr. Patty addresses the Biblical truths that we have the ability and authority to connect with God personally and she explains the difference between what we do and what new agers do when they encounter the spirit realm. Why do we use the tool of dialogue journaling and why do you always begin your encounters in your special place? Why does encountering Jesus as your inner child help with your trust and faith in God? Dr. Patty recommends several other Experience Jesus podcasts that will help you go deeper into each of these questions and you meet Jesus in your special place and see what He has added for you there as a gift.

Inviting God – Wk. 8 (Invitation to a Thirsty Soul)
Inviting God – Wk. 8 (The Picture of Invitation)
In this "how-to" episode, we will look at how God created us to practically invite His manifest presence into our lives. Dr. Patty clarifies the difference between God's Omnipresence and His manifest presence and why it is important to welcome Him in order to draw Him closer personally. How do you intentionally and practically welcome God in a way that has you living a life marked with signs, wonders, and miracles? Dr. Patty shares four ways to intentionally release the Holy Spirit's presence and four ways you may be releasing His presence without even being aware of it. What quenches and grieves the Holy Spirit? Jesus shares His heart on several issues like how to tap into His kingdom's emotions, the importance of living an abiding lifestyle, and fixing your eyes on Him instead of your concerns. He invites you to expand your heart to make room for Him in your Experience Jesus encounter time. Links Referenced in this episode: New to the Podcast?

Today is World Mental Health Day, and that’s why it's the perfect time to talk about the faith-brain connection, and how it has EVERYTHING to do with your own mental and emotional health. In this next episode of The God Pod, Leanne takes you on a journey to explore the profound interplay between faith, self-image, and neuroscience. Leanne breaks down (in simple science terms) how just influencing ONE specific part of the brain (the Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC), or the "social brain" as she calls it) can change the game for you -- simply by knowing about it -- as just this ONE part of the brain influences everything from self-perception and emotional pain to coping mechanisms and physical pain. Inviting God into the conversation right away, she shares how this region of the brain drives our need for acceptance and connection while also playing a big role in your coping mechanisms or habits which you feel are "out of control". And it's not just theory either, as she shares evidence-based scientific studies that show how faith has been proven to drastically impact everything from self-esteem and addiction recovery...to the alleviation of physical pain, and how THIS can hold the keys to your own mental and emotional health. Ultimately, she's simply inviting you to 'try on' this idea that faith can be a catalyst for healing, strength, and transformation in the realm of mental and emotional well-being.

O Lord, you have searched me and known me! 2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. 3 You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. 4 Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether. 5 You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it.7 Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? 8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! 9 If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 10 even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me. 11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night,” 12 even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you.13 For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. 14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! 18 If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you 19 Oh that you would slay the wicked, O God! O men of blood, depart from me! 20 They speak against you with malicious intent; your enemies take your name in vain. 21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord? And do I not loathe those who rise up against you? 22 I hate them with complete hatred; I count them my enemies.23 Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! 24 And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!1. Are you consciously aware of God's observing presence of every moment of your life? Is that a comforting or stressful thought?2. Do you think of God's presence as more loving, neutral or hostile? Why?3. Is it reasonable to believe that God doesn't leave you because he loves you? Why or why not?4. Do you feel God's presence and love? When, or how? 5. Is there a time in your life when you surrendered to God and you saw him work?

The same argument, the same tension, the same heavy feelings that show up over and over again?In this episode of The Faith & Aloha Show, I'm opening up about a pattern in my marriage with Danny that's repeated for years — especially before he left for work trips. Every time, there would be tension, fighting, and a heaviness that lasted the whole time he was gone.But this time, something shifted. Through quiet inner healing (which we talked about last week) and the power of asking for prayer, I experienced a new kind of peace — for the first time in years.We'll look at Isaiah 26:3 and Philippians 4:7, and talk about how peace doesn't always show up loud and dramatic. Sometimes, it arrives gently, through surrender, prayer, and small heart changes that break big cycles.If you're longing for peace in your relationships, or praying for a breakthrough in your marriage, this episode is for you.Mahalo for joining me today and for letting me share this space with you.

The weekly adult Sunday School class at OAG taught by long-time teacher, Mrs. Jeanie Davis. ** Edited to remove personal information shared in the class and extended pauses ** Title: Confronting Sexual Sin: A Call to Accountability and Healing Summary: This week's lesson with Mrs. Jeanie was profound and eye-opening as we tackled the tough topic of confronting sexual sin. Mrs. Jeanie spoke from the heart about the prevalence of pornography and lust within the church and shared a powerful testimony of a man's struggle and ultimate triumph through God's grace.

The message was clear: we need to support each other, stop keeping our heads in the sand, and start living authentically in God's presence.
