Join us as we celebrate and honor our Testimony Mothers with Pastor Shea Takazono as we dive into 1 Samuel 1, the story of Hannah, a woman who trusted God even during the difficult times. Through prayer, faith, and perseverance, Hannah shows us that God hears every heartfelt cry and is faithful in every season. Her journey reminds us that even in times of waiting, God is still working with love and purpose.

This Sunday’s message continued our “Already Won” series, focusing on living in Christ’s victory over sickness. We explored the tension of the “already but not yet”—how Jesus has already conquered sin, death, and brokenness, yet we still experience illness and weakness in this life. Through 2 Corinthians 4, we were reminded that we are like “jars of clay,” fragile yet carrying the powerful treasure of Christ within us. Even in our brokenness, God’s strength is revealed. The message encouraged us to lean into our own struggles and the struggles of others, holding onto hope in Jesus now while looking forward to the day when He will fully restore all things.

This week’s message explored how we face the reality of death through the victory of Jesus. While death is unavoidable, we’re reminded that it’s not the end—because Christ has already overcome it. We were encouraged to put our faith in Jesus, grieve with hope, and choose hope over fear in every season. Through personal stories and Scripture, the message challenged us to live boldly, trust God deeply, and hold onto the promise of eternal life, even in the midst of loss. We closed the service by celebrating 4 baptisms—powerful moments of people choosing faith, hope, and new life in Christ.
