The Mission North Shore - Current Teaching

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's Podcast! What happens when we find ourselves in the middle of a trial that seems to have no end? In 1 Samuel 24, we encounter David, a man anointed to be king yet hunted like a fugitive for over eight years by the very king he was meant to succeed. This passage pulls back the curtain on one of the most tension-filled moments in David's life, and in doing so, it holds up a mirror to our...

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's podcast!  This week we dive into Luke 10:38-42 and the familiar story of Martha and Mary, two sisters whose different responses to Jesus' presence reveal profound truths about our own spiritual lives. This message beautifully illustrates that our service to God must flow from a heart of devotion rather than obligation, and that no matter how legitimate our activities may be, they ...

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's podcast! From the Garden of Eden to the cross of Christ, the Sabbath points us toward God's ultimate plan for humanity. We discover that the Sabbath wasn't originally a command but a description of God's perfect rest, a rest that Adam and Eve enjoyed before the fall. We learn that Jesus didn't come to give us another religious obligation but to become our Sabbath rest Himself. Through ...

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...
