The Mission North Shore - Current Teaching

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's Podcast! Here we study three confrontations between Jesus and the religious leaders—the healing at the Pool of Bethesda, the disciples eating grain, and the man with the withered hand—and discover a consistent pattern. The Pharisees had taken God's simple command to rest on the Sabbath and twisted it into legalism with over 1,500 burdensome regulations, completely missing t...

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's podcast! This passage from John chapter 5 takes us to the Pool of Bethesda, where we encounter a man who had been crippled for 38 years. What makes this healing particularly striking is that it was an act of pure mercy, completely independent of the man's faith. He didn't even know who Jesus was until after his healing. This challenges us to wrestle with difficult theological questions...

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's podcast! This powerful message takes us into Mark chapter 2, where we witness Jesus doing something absolutely scandalous for His time: calling a despised tax collector named Matthew to be His disciple. Tax collectors in first-century Israel were considered traitors, thieves, and outcasts, completely cut off from religious and social life. The rabbis even taught that repentance was vir...

Aloha and welcome to the Mission North Shore's podcast! We read the account of four friends tearing through a roof to bring their paralyzed companion to Jesus. What unfolds is far more than just a healing story. When Jesus declares “your sins are forgiven”, He is asserting His divine authority to forgive sins. This narrative reminds us that while we often focus on our immediate circumstances—our health, finances, ...

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's Podcast! Mark chapter 1, the cleansing of a leper. What makes this story extraordinary isn't just the physical healing, but the deep spiritual symbolism woven throughout. We discover that leprosy serves as a picture of our human condition apart from Christ - starting small but spreading relentlessly, numbing our spiritual sensitivity, isolating us from community and God, and leaving us...

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's podcast! This week message challenges us to examine what true discipleship really means. We journey alongside Peter as he experiences a transformative encounter with Jesus that shifts him from noncommittal observer to fully devoted follower. The miraculous catch of fish becomes the catalyst for Peter's realization of Christ's holiness, driving him to his knees in recognition of his own...

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's podcast! This week we had some technical issues so excuse the gap in service. This week's message in Luke 5:1-11 takes us into the boat with Peter during a transformative moment that reveals what true discipleship actually looks like. We encounter Peter at a crossroads we might recognize in our own lives—he had been called by Jesus twice before, yet kept returning to his old way ...

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's podcast! This Sunday's message takes us into the heart of spiritual warfare, revealing a truth that should bring tremendous comfort to every believer: Jesus Christ holds absolute authority over the entire demonic realm. Walking through Luke chapter 4, we witness Jesus in the synagogue at Capernaum, teaching with unprecedented authority that amazed everyone present. But what happens nex...

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's podcast! This Sunday’s message confronts us with an uncomfortable but essential question: Can we sit in church and still miss Jesus? Drawing from Luke 4, we encounter Jesus returning to his hometown synagogue in Nazareth, where he boldly declares that the ancient prophecy of Isaiah 61 is being fulfilled right before their eyes. The invitation for us today is clear: we can know th...

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's podcast! Join us as Pastor Tripp challenges us to move beyond political camps and media narratives to discover what Scripture actually teaches about Israel. Drawing from Genesis 12 and Romans 11, we encounter a profound truth: God's faithfulness to His covenants with Israel reveals His character and gives us confidence in His promises to us. The message confronts two extremes—unf...

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's Podcast! In Philippians 3, we're challenged to examine what truly matters in our pursuit of knowing Christ. We're reminded that navigation is simply a constant series of adjustments to stay on course, and our heading should always be getting to know Jesus more intimately. The sermon confronts us with a sobering reality: even the Apostle Paul, with all his impressive credentials and bla...

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's podcast! This powerful teaching challenges us to examine the true nature of biblical faith by contrasting two remarkable stories from Capernaum. Through this message we learn that faith is about having a heart humble enough to receive God's truth, trusting enough to believe His promises, and committed enough to live it out. We're called to test ourselves and ask: Do we have genuine bib...

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's podcast! Romans 5:1-5 presents us with a profound truth that transforms how we navigate our daily lives: we are legally at peace with God through Jesus Christ. This isn't merely a theological concept to file away in our minds, but a lived reality meant to reshape our response to stress, anxiety, and tribulation. We learn that peace isn't the absence of trouble, but the presence of God'...

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's podcast!  This powerful exploration of discipleship takes us deep into the relationship between King David and his son Solomon, revealing timeless truths about passing on spiritual legacy. At the heart of this message is David's 'one thing'—his consuming desire to seek God's face and dwell in His presence. As we examine 1 Chronicles 22 and 28, we discover that effective disc...

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's podcast! The story of the rich young ruler confronts us with perhaps the most uncomfortable question of our faith journey: what are we unwilling to surrender to follow Jesus? This passage from Mark 10 presents a man who had everything going for him—wealth, youth, authority, and even genuine spiritual hunger. He ran to Jesus and knelt before Him, asking the most important question...
