In a world of “Buy Now” buttons, late-night scrolling, and instant gratification, how do we actually live with self-control? In this message, Pastor Peter unpacks how the Holy Spirit empowers us to overcome impulse culture—not through willpower, but through surrender. Discover how to stop reacting in the flesh and start responding in the Spirit.

Pastor Peter shares Paul's shipwreck story from Acts 27, and pulls out some keys to having tenacious faith when life gets rough.

Ever find yourself holding onto a grudge longer than you should? Maybe it's the coworker who undercuts you, the friend who ghosts you, or that family member who never lets things go. In this week's message, Pastor Peter dives into what it really means to live in step with the Holy Spirit—and how we move from bitterness to freedom. Drawing from Galatians 5, we explore how the Fruit of the Spirit—specifically patience, kindness, and gentleness—can help us release grudges and embrace grace. Because let's be honest: You can't grow a grudge and the Fruit of the Spirit at the same time. From airplane clappers and parenting moments to swaddled babies and viral Chick-fil-A notes, this message is honest, funny, and packed with truth that meets you right where you are. 

Pastor Peter takes us through Acts 25 and the story of Paul speaking before the leaders of his day.

我們常常會問神：「為什麼這些事會發生在我身上？」這不只是逆境時的疑問，有時連在順境中，我們也會這樣問神。但如果神真的一一向我們解釋，痛苦就真的比較容易承受嗎？ 當我們筋疲力盡的時候，眼前的痛苦會讓未來看起來一片空白，甚至讓我們錯看、限縮自己的選擇。所以我們更需要提醒自己，別急著抓住那些「非要不可的東西」，也不要過度放大眼前的問題。 透過這篇主日講道，讓我們在心累的時候，一起學習做出不讓自己後悔、也貼近神心意的選擇。

Sermon for June 29, 2025 | Preaching text: Luke 9:51-62

In this insightful message, Pastor Peter delves into the profound truth of 1 Corinthians 3:16, emphasizing that "you are the temple where God's spirit dwells", clarifying that "you" is plural, meaning "y'all" – the church collectively. He explains that God's Spirit is actively "at work," "powerful," and "very productive on the mission of God," likening His work to a "construction project" building lives, families, and communities into a temple for His presence. While God's Spirit is unseen and prepares us, God's tangible "presence" is when "God appears, when God shows up, when God's power is on display". The church's journey is a progression from being God's "field" to His "building" and finally to His "temple". Paul's letter to Corinth urges the church to stop "tearing each other apart" and instead engage in "edification," a "construction word" meaning "to build up one another," promoting unity, purity, and maturity. Everyone is called to be a "fellow worker" with God, actively participating in this building, with Jesus Christ as the only foundation (1 Corinthians 3:11), knowing their "labor is not in vain in the Lord" (1 Corinthians 15) as they collaborate on an eternal temple.

Pastor Peter shares some wisdom from Acts about how to be sustained through suffering when it comes. 

Sermon for June 15, 2025 | Preaching text: John 16:12-15

是否我們常常在別人的故事中，放大了別人的「罪」，卻在自己的故事中，只把自己的「罪」視為一種掙扎呢？ 「福音」並沒有要改變我們對罪的看法，只是改變我們在故事中所扮演的角色。我們面對「罪」，不是辯護律師。因為「罪」不會透過解釋，就變成不是罪。我們面對「罪」，也不是法官。因為除了神以外，沒有人能坐在審判的位置。 邀請你點開這個主日講道，讓我們一同學習「悔改」是一生的功課，在這條悔改的路上，不需要更多的評論家，而是需要更多陪伴人成長的朋友！讓我們一起看看，「福音」會如何改寫你我的故事結局！

Father's Day at Faith | Pastor Peter Reeves | Wednesday, June 15, 2025

Pastor Peter shared the story of Jesus feeding the 5,000, and asked 2 important questions: what can you do? What can God do?

「福音」不是讓我們能上天堂，而是讓「福音」改變我們生命的每個層面，讓我們能預備自己進到永恆。 這次 Pastor Peter 提醒我們，「慷慨」不是一個機會，而是一種責任。我們不需要等到有「慷慨」的感覺才去付出，而是思考「如果一個慷慨的人會怎麼做？」然後就去做慷慨的事！ 讓我們一起點開主日講道連結，學習成為一個能慷慨給予的人！

The story of the paralyzed man from Mark 2 was a reminder not to let anything stop you from getting to Jesus. 

Sermon for May 25, 2025 | Preaching text: John 14:23-29

我們想賺更多的錢，因為總認為錢不夠用嗎？或許不是錢賺夠不夠多的問題，而是我們有沒有在管理的問題。否則賺再多的錢，都無法彌補一個沒有規劃的人生。 所以透過這次的系列講道，我們有個夢想是：「我想成為一個不為金錢憂慮，並且豐盛有餘，能慷慨給予的人。」這次的主日講道，我們分別在觀念、工作、預算、投資，這幾個層面，按著聖經原則來學習如何管理。 讓我們透過這個主日講道，一起學習在財務上，能成為有智慧的人。

In part 2 of our new series, we were reminded through the story of David and Goliath that our impossibilities are God's opportunities. 

Pastor Peter emphasizes that God calls us to share love in every part of the world. Who is one person you can show genuine kindness and compassion to today and throughout the week? In what ways can you make ordinary moments impactful, fostering positive change in the world?

關於「十一」，你可能聽過不少支持或反對的聲音。在這次講道中，Pastor Peter 分享了三個，人們在「十一」裡，常會有的疑惑跟猶豫，但同時也教導我們，「十一」的原因絕對不是因為神需要這筆錢，而是這是我們對神的敬拜！ 我們都是按神的形象所創造，我們是屬神的，所以我們可以全心全意全力愛祂！而學習愛神的旅程，就可以從十一開始。

We kicked off a new series, and “Agent Pastor” did a deep dive into the story of Elijah and the priests of Baal from 1 Kings 18. 

In this powerful message from our Summer at the Movies series, Pastor Peter uses Top Gun: Maverick to explore how we can overcome the heartaches of the past and move forward with freedom. Learn what Jesus says about forgiveness, how to love your enemies, and how to break free from the weight of relational wounds. You don't have to stay stuck in pain. Discover how to become a relational “ACE” by embracing Agape love, committing to prayer, and extending forgiveness—just like Christ did for us.

Happy Mother's Day! Pastor Peter tells the story of Ruth and Naomi, highlighting the sacrifice of love and the redemption that only God can effect.

當我們談到財務的夢想，第一個浮現在腦海的，可能是存款的數字、資產的數字。但你有沒有發現，這世界上，不少人即使達到了這個目標，心裡卻還是感到不快樂？ 所以透過這次的系列講道，我們有個圖片是：「我想成為一個不為金錢憂慮，並且豐盛有餘，能慷慨給予的人。」雖然錢不是所有的一切，但我們如何管理神給我們的錢，卻會反映出我們的內心是怎樣的人，也讓神決定能不能信任我們！ 讓我們透過這次系列講道，不只是學習信實地十一，也有智慧地管理另外 90% 的財務。讓我們一起學習成為在財務上，持守信實的人。

In today's message, Pastor Peter challenges us to think about the legacy we're leaving for the next generation. Whether you're a parent, coach, mentor, or friend, your influence matters more than you realize. Discover why faith must be intentionally passed down, how to build spiritual strength into the lives of those you love, and why God calls us to speak life and purpose into the next generation. Let's raise sons and daughters who are built not just for success, but for a life that lasts. You are part of a greater mission to shape eternity through everyday moments.#HopeCity #BuiltToLast #NextGeneration #FaithLegacy #ParentingWithPurpose #InfluenceMatters

This Sunday, Pastor Peter highlighted the Easter season as a time for becoming, engaging with what God is doing around us. This helps the world see the goodness, love, and grace Christ wants us to experience and share.

Christ Pacific Church would like to extend an invitation to attend either online or in person one of our services which are held most Sundays at 9 and 1030am.Thank you for joining us today! This morning we continue our current sermon series through the Acts of the Apostles with Acts 9:32-43 as Pastor Peter gives the message, Your Transformation is the Evidence. We're glad you're here!

每一個懼怕的背後，其實都有一段不為人知的故事。信主以後，並不代表我們不再害怕，而是我們不再讓「懼怕」決定我們的身分與選擇。 那些還沒發生的神蹟，也許是神在等待我們何時願意照著祂的吩咐去行動。因為聖經中許多的神蹟，都是神透過人的手去實現。神從不是在尋找有能力的人，而是在尋找那些願意的人！或許我們都帶著懼怕，但邀請你能點開這個講道，看看神怎麼使用一個會害怕、卻選擇行動的人，去成就神美好的計劃！

In Week 2 of our Built to Last series, Pastor Peter unpacks a powerful teaching from 1 Corinthians 8 about how to respond when our freedom collides with someone else's faith. In a world where it's easy to live offended, we're called to something greater — to choose influence over offense, and love over being right.  This message will challenge you to: Build people up, not stir them up Choose purpose over preference Let brokenness break your heart, not spark your anger  Discover how the way you treat people today can shape the legacy you leave tomorrow. Let's be a church that builds bridges, not walls — and lives that truly last. 

The Gospel From Pastor Robert Breaker and also from Pastor Peter Ruckman.

Continuing the rescue theme, Pastor Peter shared from Exodus about the universal need for deliverance and how God knows right where you are, even if you haven't yet called to Him for help.

Today, we kick off our new series, Built to Last, by asking one of life's biggest questions: "What am I here for?"Pastor Peter takes us through the story of Moses in Exodus 3 to show how God uses burning bush moments to grab our attention, reveal His purpose, and set our hearts on fire for Him.Whether you feel too young, too old, or too ordinary, God has a divine calling for your life — and it starts by slowing down, paying attention, and saying "yes" to Him.x

當我們說「一起經歷神的同在」，你腦中第一個畫面是什麼呢？多數人會想到「敬拜讚美」的畫面，但其實還有一個更深刻的方式，那就是我們可能常忽略的「聖餐」。 這世界上很多宗教都有敬拜讚美，但只有基督信仰有「聖餐」，因為我們的神是道成肉身，從天而降，與我們同在的神。我們所吃的「聖餐」，不只是象徵耶穌的身體、耶穌的血，而是「聖餐」就是耶穌的身體、耶穌的血。 在今年的復活節裡，讓我們一起帶著新的眼光，重新理解「聖餐」的意義，也更真實經歷神的同在。耶穌從死裡復活，祂不是只給我們象徵性的盼望，而是耶穌就是我們真實的盼望。在每次的聖餐中，我們都在用自己的脆弱，觸碰到神最真實的同在！

Pastor Peter kicks off our Easter Season series, Cross and Crown. 

現在，是你想要的生活嗎？還是你常常這樣說：「這不是我要的生活，但我只好…」、「這不是我想做的工作，但我只好…」 我們不該只是過一個「只好」的人生！Pastor Peter 透過士師記 6:1-7 裡的以色列人，因為拜偶像，做了神眼中看為惡的事，結果遭受米甸人的壓迫，只好躲進洞穴裡。當一次次失去了重新嘗試的鬥志以後，最後決定呼求神。 這些來自偶像的「壓迫」，就像一隻手掐著你的脖子，讓你喘不過氣。形式或許不同，但真正的出路只有一條，就是「呼求神」！讓我們點開這個講道連結，將那些重視程度超過神的人事物，交託給神，並經歷神的拯救！
