A place of Refuge, Redemption, and Resurgence

for Nuʻuanu

GOSPEL

Jesus died on the cross to take away our sin, give us new life, and become our king. We do everything by the power of the cross.

COMMUNITY

Jesus lives in perfect fellowship with the Father and Holy Spirit. Like the Trinity, we do everything in the context of community.

MISSION

Jesus’ mission is to build a growing kingdom of grace and love on earth. We do everything in light of his redemptive mission.

GLORY

Jesus lives to bring glory to the Father. We do everything to glorify God above all else, and we want to influence others to do the same.

$Daily Encouragement: Psalm 150 (link in bio) Let everything that has breath praise the LORD Praise the LORD! (Psalm 150:6) Psalm 150 ends with a crescendo of praise to the Creator. Because God made the heavens and the earth, all of creation has purpose: to glorify God. Humanity strayed from that purpose when our first ancestors decided to shift from God as the center or their lives to making themselves the center of their lives. They replaced the worship of God with the worship of His creation. This deadly exchange led to the broken world we live in. When humanity chose to use their lives (breath) for their own glory, it led to our relationship with God being hostile, our relationships with other humans being fractured and our relationship towards the created world being disordered. We got what we deserved. But, God in His great mercy, came to us as a human. Jesus taught us what it means to live life for the praise of the Father. Not only was He an example of the perfect human, but on the Cross the Son of God took the punishment for our rebellion against God, sins against others and the world. He rose again from the dead to give us new life in the Spirit, who enables us to once again praise God with our lives. Finally, we anticipate the day when Jesus returns to make everything right, so that creation along with all of God’s people will together praise the Lord in all things. Today, let us anticipate that day by living Spirit-empowered lives that glorify Him! #dailyencouragement #dailydevotional #harborchurch #harbornuuanu #hawaii #oahu #churchinhawaii #oahuchurch #apsalmaday #psalm150$

Daily Encouragement: Psalm 149
(link in bio)

For the LORD takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with salvation. (Psalm 149:4)

You probably believe that God loves you, but do you believe that He likes you as His child? Maybe we have a broken view of God. We believe He loves us because He gave us His one and only Son to die for our sins. But we also think He simply puts up with us because we are not perfect like Jesus. Maybe your view of God is distorted because you read your earthly parents’ relationship with you into your relationship with God. If you parents simply “put up” with you, that’s how you think God views you. Yet, the psalmist praises God because He takes pleasure in His people.

Maybe the thought of God delighting in us is still hard to believe. Zephaniah 3:17 records, “He will rejoice over you in gladness.” Can you imagine God filled with so much delight in you, that He sings over you? Why can we be certain God delights in His children? It’s not because we have earned it. It’s because Jesus did. Because we have received Jesus perfect record of living through faith, our sin stained record is now replaced with Jesus’ one. So just as the Father declared over the Son when Jesus was baptized, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased,” we too receive that declaration over us because we are in Christ.

As we grow in believing this truth of God’s delight for us, the insecurities that we face and the need for others’ approvals become less attractive and loses its grip on us because we have all the acceptance we need in God.

Daily Encouragement: Psalm 148
(link in bio)

Let them praise the name of the LORD, for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above earth and heaven. (Psalm 148:13)

Maybe today you find yourself apathetic towards your relationship with God. There aren’t many times at all during the day that you find yourself praising Him for who He is. Perhaps your time worshipping God with other believers seems mechanical as you simply go through the motions. In these times, you need to experience God’s greatness once again.

There’s a drastic difference between reading about a majestic beach and actually playing in it. Or seeing a picture on social media of an epic hiking trail and actually walking it. Or reading about God’s greatness in the Bible and relating personally to Him. It’s the difference between hearing others talk about their relationship with Jesus and you personally experiencing His saving work and strength in your life (v14).

If you find yourself lacking a gratitude and praise towards God, confess to Him your need for a fresh encounter with Him through His word.
