When life brings loss or disappointment, fear and skepticism can sound louder than faith. In John 11, the disciples, Lazarus's sisters, and the crowd each respond to a situation that seems beyond hope. Pastor Gary follows those voices to the tomb, where Jesus calls Lazarus out and shows that His voice of life has the final word.Thank you for partnering with Reunion Hawaii! To GIVE online, please visit our website at www.reunionhawaii.comMake sure to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to this podcast!You can follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/reunionhawaii@reunionhawaii

Who is Jesus to you? In John 8, Jesus makes the extraordinary declaration, “Before Abraham was, I AM,” revealing Himself not merely as a teacher or Savior, but as the eternal God and Lord of all. Through the seven “I AM” statements in John, Jesus reveals that He is everything we ultimately need. But knowing about Jesus is not enough; His lordship calls for total surrender and a growing relationship with Him. Like branches connected to a vine, our life and fruitfulness come from abiding in Christ—and the fruit He produces through us is meant to bless others. There is always more of Jesus to know, more of His life to experience, and more of ourselves to surrender to the great I AM.

Today's sermon is The God Of Faithful Promises by Gary Hamrick Find more teaching from Pastor Gary at www.cornerstonechapel.net

In John 9, Jesus heals a man who had been blind from birth — but He does not give us a formula to follow. His methods changed, but His authority did not. In this message, Pastor Gary explains the difference between what Scripture describes and what it commands, why believers should still pray for the sick, and how we can exercise Christ's delegated authority without depending on special methods or perfect words. There is no healing formula. Jesus is all-sufficient.Thank you for partnering with Reunion Hawaii! To GIVE online, please visit our website at www.reunionhawaii.comMake sure to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to this podcast!You can follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/reunionhawaii@reunionhawaii

We all want a faith that can withstand life's storms, but strong faith doesn't happen by accident. Just as a tree grows deep roots over time, we become established as we consistently spend time in God's Word and in His presence. That's where our faith is renewed and strengthened, and our lives are transformed. Pastor Gary will share with you today that a rooted life begins with daily abiding in Christ. You can stand firm in every season because God will strengthen everyone who seeks Him.

Pastor Gary continued our Building Bridges series with a sermon titled "What do I do with my anger?"

Pastor Gary Hay shares his recent experiences in Africa and introduces the message 'Facing Your Giants.' He emphasizes the power of words and the authority we have in Christ. He delves into the significance of types and shadows in the Old Testament and the relevance of biblical examples for our instruction today. Pastor Gary discusses the journey to the promised land, the presence of well-entrenched enemies, and the rules of engagement for eradicating their influence. He encourages listeners to embrace the leading of the Holy Spirit and take steps of obedience towards God's calling.TakeawaysAuthority in ChristThe significance of types and shadows in the Old TestamentThe journey to the promised land and the presence of well-entrenched enemiesEmbracing the leading of the Holy Spirit and taking steps of obedience towards God's callingRecorded live at Hope Church in Springfield, MO#giants #exodus #joshua #risk #faith #overcome #persist #holySpirit

Jesus is coming again, and Paul gives us three reasons to rejoice at His second coming: hope, joy, and a crown! In today's teaching, Pastor Gary unpacks these three reasons to rejoice and reminds us to keep our gaze heavenward as we wait for the glorious return of our Lord.

Pastor Gary kicks off our new sermon series Bridge Builders with a sermon titled "Jesus is Our Peace."

None of us enjoys having our weaknesses exposed. We would rather cover our wounds than revisit the pain, but healing often begins when what's been hidden is finally brought into the light. Sometimes God lovingly uncovers what's broken because He refuses to leave us there. Today, Pastor Gary will remind you that God doesn't expose your brokenness to shame you; He reveals it to restore you. You can trust Him with every wounded place, because the hands that uncover are the same hands that heal.

In this episode, Pastor Gary continues our study of the Apostles' Creed asking the  questions: What does it mean to say, “I believe in the holy church and the fellowship of the saints”? In the scriptures, we discover that the church is neither a building nor an organization, rather it is God's people. Every follower of Jesus Christ is part of the universal church, connected together as one body in Christ across cultures, nations, and generations. But God has also given us the local church, where we can live out the fellowship of the saints in meaningful, purposeful relationships. In this teaching, we are challenged to move beyond simply attending church and grow from congregation, to community, to the core. In doing so, we are called to love one another, build friendships, serve together, and each do our part to build each other up in the body of Christ.

The book of 1 Thessalonians deals with a major theme: the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Each chapter ends with an aspect of the Lord's return and, in this five-part series, discusses how we should all be living in the constant expectation of the imminent return of the Lord. In today's teaching, Pastor Gary expounds on 1 Thessalonians 1:10 and how we will be “delivered . . . from the wrath to come” (KJV).

In Pastor Gary's message to the church, we're challenged to double down on being the light of Jesus. Whether that's on a mission trip overseas or right in our own backyard with family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors. Because the stakes are eternal, and it's not okay for even one person to miss out on God's grace. Drawing from a personal, physically challenging mission trip to Japan and the piercing truth of of God's word, we're reminded that as long as we're alive, our work of sharing Jesus isn't finished.

A Christian's conduct and speech have a direct impact on non-believers who are watching and listening. How well do we reflect Christ? How much does our witness draw people to Jesus? In today's teaching, Pastor Gary highlights some of Paul's closing remarks to the church in Colosse that challenge us about how to witness to non-believers.

Almost everyone has asked, “Why is there so much suffering in the world? Why does God allow it?” Today, Pastor Gary suggests that some of our suffering may be preparing us to become vessels God can use to glorify Himself in a wonderful way. The Bible says that when we suffer for Christ, our patience grows. As our patience increases, our character is strengthened, and in turn, our hope is deepened. With greater hope, we can endure many hardships, knowing that God is with us, guiding us.

Today's sermon is Marriage And Divorce by Gary Hamrick Find more teaching from Pastor Gary at www.cornerstonechapel.net

Enjoy the full service with the Lee University Singers as well as a short message from Pastor Gary on honor.

Everyone has moments when it feels like God hasn't heard our prayers. We ask Him for something again and again, yet still do not receive an answer. Today, Pastor Gary encourages us to be patient. God is not ignoring you, and He has not forgotten you. God's ways are higher and deeper than our own. He is preparing us for what He has already planned. When we think He has forgotten us, He is grooming, trimming, and refining the rough edges so we can be ready to handle what He has prepared for us.

Marriage was ordained by God between one man and one woman. But if God ordained marriage, why does it seem so difficult at times? In today's teaching, Pastor Gary offers two primary reasons for that and gives an overview of God's view on marriage and divorce. Marriage is a beautiful union, ordained by God, but not without its challenges and heartache. Join today's teaching for an encouraging and challenging message.

Our churches are filled with broken, imperfect people, and sometimes we simply don't want to go up and talk to someone. Today, Pastor Gary reminds us that we can all be tempted to judge others by what they wear, how they smell, how they talk, or their socioeconomic status. He encourages us to ask God for forgiveness before settling into a judgmental attitude and to respond instead with welcoming, loving, and friendly actions. By changing, we may even encourage someone else to do the same.

Pastor Nate sits down with Pastor Gary Sandberg, for a deeply personal conversation about what keeps us coming back to church.Yes, the headlines continue to shout about church decline.However, this episode serves as a reminder that staying is its own kind of testimony.They talk candidly about:The real reasons people leave church, and the quieter reasons people stayGrace, commitment, and why the church doesn't need to be perfect to be powerfulHow worship can ground us even when nothing else makes senseThe unexpected beauty of liturgy (and chanting in a Snuggie)What Pastor Gary still finds at the altar after 30+ years in ministryWhat You'll LearnWhy do people stay in church when the stats say otherwiseThe hidden value of participation over perfectionHow churches can offer peace in an anxious, overstimulated worldWhy liturgy might be weird at first—and why it's worth sticking withPastor Gary's car-shopping analogy for finding the right congregationThis episode isn't just a look back, it's a recommitment to the future. Whether you're a longtime listener or have just discovered us today, we want you to know that you're not just a part of this community, you're an integral part of it.

“God is in absolute control of his world and everything that happens, without any gaps, limits, interference, or thwarting of his rule.” The question I have for you is: Do you believe that God is in absolute control of everything? God will never leave you or forsake you. He will walk with you even through the valley of the shadow of death. So when you're facing a worst-case scenario, always remember this: that God is sovereign.

One of the most commonly asked questions is, “What is God's will for my life?” In today's study, Pastor Gary shares four principles for discerning God's will. If you are facing a major challenge for which you need God's wisdom and direction, this teaching is for you!

Most people think that once they're out on their own, they'll live exactly as they want. But as believers in Jesus, we are called to live as He has directed. In his message today, Pastor Gary reminds us that if we are called by God, we are set apart from the rest of the world in our actions, our words, and the way we live. Persecution for our beliefs certainly will also be a significant part of our experience, further separating us from worldly influences that will continue to pull us away from our calling to follow God.

The Helms Triplets went from ordinary teens to nearly 1 million Instagram followers by boldly sharing Jesus online. Pastor Gary sits down with them to hear how it started, what it's really like, and how God is using social media to reach their generation.

Although we exist on the horizontal (earth), the Bible encourages us to have our minds set on the vertical (heaven). Believers in Jesus are called to have an eternal perspective: to “put off” the old, sinful ways and to “put on” the new, godly traits of Christ. Among all the godly traits Paul tells us to “put on,” there is one trait that we are told to do as Christ has done for us. Pastor Gary shares about this one trait—among the other lessons of Colossians 3—in today's study titled, “Vertical Living in a Horizontal World.”


When we're in the middle of a long and difficult journey, it can become difficult to have faith that we'll make it to the other side. But in today's message, Pastor Gary reminds us that if we have gratitude, we will have the hindsight needed to look back and see how God has gotten us this far. When the road ahead seems impossible, we should take a moment to think back on all of the ways that God has provided for us to that point, and be grateful in knowing that He will lead us the rest of the way.

This week, Pastor Gary continues the Still They Speak series by looking at the unnamed Shunammite woman from 2 Kings 4. In a culture marked by spiritual compromise, her life still speaks a powerful message to the church today. We explore three aspects of an overcoming faith: spiritual discernment, generous living, and bringing every burden to God in prayer. Most importantly, we see how Jesus is the true and better fulfillment of her story, empowering us to stand firm and faithfully follow Him in an increasingly post-Christian world.

The Feeding of the 5000 | Pastor Gary Smith by City of Life Church

There were three issues that plagued the church in Colosse that Paul addressed in Colossians 2: Judgmentalism, Hyper-Spiritualism, and Legalism. Pastor Gary defines these things and then challenges us to make sure these issues don't define us or the church today.


Sometimes, when things don't go our way, we begin to ask God why He doesn't treat us fairly. After all, if we are faithfully serving Him, don't we deserve to have some things go our way every once in a while? Well, Pastor Gary reminds you today that God's greatest blessing is that He doesn't treat you fairly. If you got what you deserved, you wouldn't have access to the Holy Spirit, or to Jesus' gift of forgiveness. The grace we've been shown is deeply unfair, and God offers it to us despite our uncleanliness.

Today's sermon is Complete in Christ by Gary Hamrick Find more teaching from Pastor Gary at www.cornerstonechapel.net

We can start to believe we need the perfect conditions to serve God. That everything has to be steady, peaceful, and figured out first. So when life feels like a dark valley, we hesitate, thinking this can't be the time. Pastor Gary will tell you today that God does some of His deepest work right in the valley. He isn't waiting for things to improve before using you. And neither should you. Even in the middle of uncertainty, you can serve, trust, and take your next step, knowing He's still working through you.

In this episode, Pastor Gary continues the Still They Speak series by exploring the life of Mephibosheth. Through David's remarkable kindness to this seemingly forgotten and undeserving man, we catch a glimpse of God's overwhelming mercy toward us in Christ. We discover that we are Mephibosheth, crippled by the fall and living in a land of desolation, while Jesus is the truer and better David who welcomes us to His table, not because of what we've done, but because of His own sacrifice and grace.

In week one of the Everything's Fine series, Pastor Gary Thomas challenges the lies we tell ourselves about the habits, struggles, and dependencies that quietly shape our lives. Looking through the lens of Scripture and the first step toward freedom, he reminds us that lasting change doesn't begin with trying harder—it begins with admitting our need for Jesus. This message invites everyone to honestly examine the areas where they may be settling for less than God's best while discovering the hope of His transforming grace. Rather than living in denial, we can experience the freedom Christ offers when we surrender control to Him. No matter where you are in your journey, this message is an encouraging reminder that God specializes in bringing new life where we once saw only brokenness.

 Here Me Out  (Waiting on the World To Change)   Pastor Gary Smith | COOL Church  CREATED OUT OF LOVE

Our world is influenced by what Paul calls “the traditions of men” and “the basic principles of this world” that are often contrary to Scripture. The worldly influence threatens a person's walk with Christ, and more broadly, the Church itself. What were the things of Paul's day that he was warning the church at Colosse about, and how does this translate to what threatens the Church today? Pastor Gary mentions the cultural issues, but focuses primarily on the worldly philosophies and aberrant doctrines that have slipped into the Church.

Everyone is touched by suffering to some degree at some point in their lives. It is the natural result of living in a sin-filled world with pain and sorrow. Some even question the God's existence or goodness because they wonder how a good God could allow such pain and suffering in the world. Pastor Gary addresses these questions and offers encouragement in today's message to those who are suffering.

250 years ago, the Continental Congress called the 13 colonies to “prayer, fasting, and humiliation” just weeks prior to the Revolutionary War. Today, on that anniversary, Pastor Gary reminds us of America's Christian heritage and encourages us to stand firm in our faith and to maintain those Christian principles.
