God With Us
Scripture: Isaiah 7:1-14
Pastor James Park
With Christmas three days past and the new year fast approaching, our thoughts of Christ can fade almost as fast as the decorations come down. Come and see the words of the Old Testament Prophet Isaiah who assures us with the hope of a God who is with us no matter where we are or what season we made be in.

For Whom is the Gospel Good News?
Scripture: Matthew 2:1-18
Pastor B. Daniel Kim
Merry Christmas Sunday! During this year's Advent Season we are focusing our hearts and minds on the Gospel, looking to gain the true biblical understanding of the Good News of Jesus Christ. As we worship and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ this Christmas Sunday we will ask the all important question, "For Whom is the Gospel Good News?" May God encourage us, challenge and convict us to truly affirm and reflect Jesus' Kingship in our hearts and lives for His glory and delight!

The Greatest Gift Ever
Romans 10:8-15, 1 Peter 3:15-16
Pastor B. Daniel Kim
It's that time of year again, 11 days and counting until Christmas Day. And while the adverse economic conditions have put a damper on the holiday shopping madness, still people will continue to fret over the obligation of giving and expecting gifts, all the while missing out on the true meaning of Christmas. But as we continue to prepare our hearts this Advent season, we will see that Jesus is the greatest gift ever given, the greatest gift to give and to receive. As we dig into God's Word, May God fill our hearts with passion, boldness and discernment to give the greatest gift Jesus Christ to those that God has placed in our midst.

Jesus Is The Gospel
Scripture: Luke 2:8-15, Romans 1:1-4
Pastor B. Daniel Kim
One of the most confusing things about the landscape of Christianity today in the 21st century is the fact that depending on where you attend church, you will find different messages and interpretations of what the Gospel is. For some, the Gospel is a style of music. For others the Gospel means wealth and a comfortable lifestyle. What is the true Gospel? This will be our quest and focus as we prepare our hearts during this Advent Season. May God continue to transform our hearts and lives through the renewing of our minds in His truth for His glory and delight!

A Song of Hope
Luke 1:68-79
Pastor James Park
As we enter into this Advent season we remember all that God has done for us in Christ Jesus, and we also eagerly await his return again in Glory! Come and hear a song of hope from Zechariah, father of John the Baptist. And that in hearing we would also sing in hope as well.

The Grace of God
2 Corinthians 12:7-10
Pastor B. Daniel Kim
Description: Happy Thanksgiving Sunday! When we reflect upon the year that is rapidly coming to an end, we will see that even through hardships, trials and difficulties, we have so much to be thankful for. As we close our series on the attributes of God we will see that God is the God of Grace and it is His amazing grace that God pours out all the wonderful blessings of life. May God remind us of his grace and lead us to a true heart of worship and thanksgiving!

The Justice of God
Scripture: Deuteronomy 32:3-4, Isaiah 58
Pastor B. Daniel Kim
Description: Over the years many churches have focused more on the methods of growing numerically, while often times neglecting the truths that articulate who God is and what He calls us to, to the detriment of our spiritual vitality and effectiveness. One of the attributes of God most neglected today is His justice. As we continue in our study on the attributes of God and its ramifications for the life of the Christian and the life of the Church today.

The Faithfulness of God
Scripture: Luke 15:11-31
Pastor B. Daniel Kim
Description: One of the most amazing attributes of God is His faithfulness.  That God loves, forgives and embraces us even after we have failed him over and over again is truly amazing and worthy of praise.  May our hearts be comforted, encouraged and challenged to live a life of repentance as we reflect upon the beauty and the majesty of God faithfulness through the timeless tale of the prodigal son and the faithful father.

The Omniscience of God
Scripture: Psalm 139:1-4
Pastor B. Daniel Kim
In recent years, some theologians have questioned the very nature of God through a new theological heresy dubbed, "open theism", claiming that God has given mankind freedom to choose and that God does not know the outcome of these choices. But as we continue in our series on the attributes of God, we will see that scripture cleraly reveals to us that God is the Omniscient, the all knowing God from whom nothing is ever hidden. May our minds be renewed and our hearts be moved to worship God in Spirit and in truth as we reflect on the beauty, majesty and wonder of God's omniscience and its application for our lives.

God is LOVE
Scripture: 1 John 4:7-12, Isaiah 53:4-6
Pastor James Park
Of all the difficulties of grasping the various attributes of God, many rest assured that they have a firm grasp of what the love of God is like. However, as we study the trends of the church today in comparison to the message from apostle John, we realize that we may not have such a tight grip. Come and see what the aposle reveals to us as we discover together the true God of love.

The Sovereignty of God
Scripture: Isaiah 46:8-10, Psalm 155:3, Romans 9:14-15
Pastor B. Daniel Kim
One of the most wonderful but difficult and challenging attributes of God that Christians have wrestled with throughout the centuries has been the sovereignty of God and how it relates to man's freedom and the existence of evil. As we continue in our series on the Attributes of God and how it relates to our world and lives. May God lead us to deeper depths of intimacy in worship through a fresh revelation of His character and attributes!

The Holiness of God
Scripture: Revelation 4:6-8, Leviticus 11:44-46
Pastor B. Daniel Kim
Holiness has become a lost concept in the church of the 21st century. People today have equated holiness with Victorian prude-ness, something for only the "serious, hardcore" Christians, or an unattainable standard. And yet as we continue in our journey to the heart and the character of God, we will come to see that above all, God is holy and that He calls and enables us to live lives of holiness for His glory. .

The Everlasting God
Scripture: Isaiah 40:28-30
Pastor B. Daniel Kim
A. W. Tozer wrote, "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." Who is God? What is He like? With what thoughts of God have we come this morning? Today we embark on a new series to the very heart of God, Himself, desiring to know God for who He really is. As we do so may God grant us a hunger to truly know Him and reveal to us a clear and fresh understanding of who He is that we may truly worship Him and live our lives for Him.

Worship Through Scripture
Deuteronomy 6:4-12
Pastor B. Daniel Kim
As we have seen in recent weeks, worship, biblical God honoring worship, is so much more than a song, a meeting, or an experience. Worship is the response of love to the revelation of God expressed in joyful obedience in every aspect of life. And even as many churches have passionately and enthusiastically embraced the modern worship phenomenon, we have witnessed a tragical and rapid decline in the love for God's word in theses same churches and in the lives of many believers. We have become a biblically illiterate church. But as we continue in our series on the Heart of Worship, we will see that without God's word, the revelation of the glory of God, there is no true worship. May the Lord renew the passion in our hearts for the Word of God.

Are We Really Worshipping?
Job 1:20-21, Psalm 63:1-8, Matthew 14:25-33
Pastor B. Daniel Kim
For many of us, we come to church every Sunday, find our seats, sing some songs, listen to a sermon, say hello to some friends, and then go out to lunch. Is this worship? If not, what is? Come and join us as we continue in our quest to rediscover the heart of biblical, God honoring worship.

Routine Worship?
John 4:1-26
Pastor James Park
Everyone has routines that fill up their days. Routines keep your life organize and comfortable. And it's comfortable because it's just so "mindless." Has our worship become that way too? Come and hear the words of the apostle John who teaches us about what worship is through the life of Jesus. That worship is anything but mindless comfort, anything but routine...

The Heart of Worship
Genesis 22:3-5
Pastor B. Daniel Kim
What do you think of when you think of the word worship? Today we will begin a three week series titled, the Heart of Worship, looking to understand and align our lives to the biblical understanding of what true God pleasing worship entails.

Living in the Hope of the Resurrection
1 Corinthians 15:50-58
Pastor B. Daniel Kim
Hallelujah Jesus is alive! As we celebrate the risen Lord Jesus Christ this Easter Sunday, we will examine the magnitude and significance of the resurrection and its implications in our daily lives.

The Church on Fire: The Gift the Father Longs To Give
Luke 11:9-13
Pastor B. Daniel Kim
Throughout the Bible, God reveals himself to us as the God who delights to give. God gave us life and redeemed us by giving His one and only Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins on the cross. Everything, and every moment is a gift from God. And as we conclude our series, the Church on Fire, we will see that God longs to give us the amazing gift of the Holy Spirit, to fill us, guide us, and empower us to indeed be the Church on Fire for the glory of the Lord, if we but just ask.

The Church on Fire: The Power of the Holy Spirit
Romans 8:1-13
Pastor James Park
Most people today associate power with things that are seen or heard. And the most powerful things tend to be at the top of our list! However, this presents a real problem for the Holy Spirit of God who is the invisible agent of our salvation. Come and SEE how the Apostle Paul explains this mystery of the Holy Spirit to us. And I pray that it's a mystery that will have true power in our lives.

The Church on Fire: The Most Excellent Way
1 Corinthians 13:1-13
Pastor B. Daniel Kim
Love is one of the most misunderstood words in our society and culture. We love everything from cars to food to God. What is love? And more importantly, what is the significance of love in the church and its connection to spiritual gifts? Come join us as we continue to seek to understand the Holy Spirit and be filled with His presence and His power.

The Church on Fire: Eagerly Desires the Gifts of the Holy Spirit
1 Corinthians 12:1-11; 27-31
Pastor B. Daniel Kim
When you read the account of the mighty acts of God through the lives of he Apostles in the book of Acts you encounter some supernatural things. We see that God is the God that heals, that enables the speaking for foreign and heavenly languages, that speaks through prophecy and that supernaturally guides and gives discernment. But are these supernatural Holy Spirit given gifts and abilities for the church today? As we pick up on our series, the Church on Fire, we will look to answer this question in the light of scripture. May the Lord open our eyes, hearts and minds to the truth of His word.

The Church On Fire: The Works of the Holy Spirit
Acts 1:8, 1 Corinthians 6:11, 2 Peter 1:21
Pastor B. Daniel Kim
God blesses the Church with the gift of the Holy Spirit so that you and I may live a life of power and victory. Come and join us as we look to understand the role of the Holy Spirit in the life of the Church and the lives of believers as we continue in our series, The Church on Fire.

The Church On Fire
Acts 2:1-21
Pastor B. Daniel Kim
God designed and purposed the Church to be a living organism filled by the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit. Yet too often we find ourselves doing and being the Church in our own strength, talent and abilities, all the while wasting away in the barren desert of our self reliance. But God desires to renew, revive and empower us through a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit. Come join us as we begin a six week study on the Holy Spirit and the Church.

Our Name: Fellowship - "That Thing We Do"
1 John 1:22
Pastor James Park
Fellowship is something that everyonein the church is familiar with. But have you ever wondered what fellowship means? Come and see what the apostle John had to say concerning the issue of fellowship, as we concluded our series: "Karis Community Fellowship."

Our Name: Community
John 17:20-23, 1 Corinthians 12:14-26
Pastor B. Daniel Kim
It was always thought that modern technology would make it easier for us to be connected. And while we may be connected to the world wide web and the global community, we have never been more lonely. Safely hidden behind your computer screen, one is able to do everything from watching movies, chatting online, ordering take out, and even fulfilling your religious duties via a live web cast of your favorite church. But is this what God intended for us? As we continue in our series on Karis Community Fellowship, we will look to gain a proper biblical understanding of God's purpose for us in community.

Our Name: Karis
Ephesians 2:1-5, Galatians 6:9-10
Pastor B. Daniel Kim
What's in a name? Names are very important. They are important because names carry weight and help to give meaning, indentity and purpose. With this in mind, we will look to discover the meaning of our church's name, the purposes and the discintives that God has called us to as a chuch through a three part sermon series on Karis Community Fellowship.

The Greatest Life on Earth
Ephesians 5:15-20
Pastor B. Daniel Kim
Happy New Year! As we begin the New Year let us look to start well by once again aligning our hearts and lives to the life that God calls us to, the life of purpose, passion and power, desiring and expecting great things from the Lord for His glory and delight.
