“He is not here, for He has risen, as He said.” – Matthew 28:6

Easter is a celebration of Jesus’ victory over sin and death and the new life we have through Him. Because He lives, we have hope, forgiveness, and the promise of eternal life.

This Easter is especially meaningful for us as we celebrate one year since relocating to our Porter Ranch location. Over this past year, God has blessed our church tremendously with new families, growing friendships, and a stronger sense of community. We are so grateful for all that He has done and continues to do.

Join us this Easter Sunday as we celebrate the joy and hope of the Resurrection together through worship, fellowship, fun activities for the kids, and a meal shared as a community.

Everyone is welcome. We would love to celebrate with you!

Dear Friends,

I wanted to invite you to join us for our Christmas Sunday service this Sunday! Our Porter Ranch site meets at 10: 00 am and our Torrance site meets at 1: 30 pm. It will be a wonderful and joyous worship as we celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I hope that you will be able to join us. I pray that you and your family will have a wonderful and blessed Christmas.

For His Glory,

Pastor James Han

This morning was bittersweet as we gathered to send off Ashley and Yuma. There were hugs, tears, and so many emotions as we watched them step into this new chapter of their lives in Japan. It’s hard to say goodbye, but we’re so proud of them for answering God’s call. Our hearts go with them, and we’ll be praying for them every step of the way. 🇯🇵

This Sunday, Rev. Yuma Takei reminded us that the church is called to be witnesses for Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit. This isn’t something extra we do on the side—it is at the center of who we are. Our purpose is to honor God, and we do that by sharing what He has done for us. Before we think about outreach or church growth, we need to remember that we have first received God’s grace. Like Peter, who denied Jesus but was restored, we are forgiven and loved. From this truth comes thankfulness, humility, and the desire to share Christ with others.

The resurrection of Jesus was not the end of the mission but the beginning. God gave His Spirit so His people could be empowered to tell others about the risen Lord everywhere. This calling wasn’t just for the first disciples long ago—it’s for the church in every generation. Our church family exists for this purpose, and we cannot be faithful unless being witnesses stays at the center of our life together.

A Spirit-filled church shows itself in simple but powerful ways: learning God’s Word, sharing life together, praying sincerely, and loving with generosity. True growth isn’t only about numbers but about being a community that cares for one another and seeks God’s will. Unlike the world that often puts self first, the church is meant to show a different way of life—one marked by love, sacrifice, and joy. This is how the gospel becomes visible to those around us.

As Rev. Yuma gave his last message before leaving for Japan to serve in missions, he reminded us that our hope doesn’t rest on our own efforts but on God’s promise. God’s mission continues from one generation to the next, and even the smallest acts of witness are used by Him to bring people to Himself. With this confidence, we are called to live as Spirit-empowered witnesses, trusting God to work through us here and across the world.

Yesterday was such a special day as we commissioned Yuma and Ashley to serve the Lord in Japan. Just like when the believers wept as Paul left for his missionary journeys, our church was moved to tears as we prayed over them, entrusting them to God’s care. This moment reminded us that the mission is never about our strength, but about Christ being glorified and His gospel going forth to the nations.

We also remembered how God has always chosen to use weak and ordinary people to first carry the good news of the resurrection. In the same way, Yuma and Ashley go out not in their own power, but in God’s grace. As they leave on September 30th, we ask you to join us in praying that the Lord would guide their steps, strengthen their hearts, and use them mightily so that all the glory belongs to Him.

This past Sunday, Pastor James preached on the privilege and command of prayer from Matthew 7:7–11. Prayer is one of the greatest privileges God has given His children. It is not merely speaking into the air, but conversing with the living God who is full of love, wisdom, and holiness. Through prayer, believers are invited into fellowship with their heavenly Father, who hears and answers according to His perfect will. Yet too often, prayer is neglected or treated as optional, even though Christ commands us to “ask, seek, and knock.” These are not gentle invitations but clear instructions, reminding us that prayer is both a duty and a joy.

The words “ask, seek, knock” show both the action and the persistence of prayer. To ask acknowledges our dependence and reliance on God. To seek is to earnestly desire His presence and His will above all things. To knock is to persevere until the door is opened. The Lord does not invite us into a transaction but into a relationship, shaping our wills to align with His. The purpose of prayer is not to bend God’s will to ours, but to mold our hearts to His sovereign and good plan.

We are assured that God, as our heavenly Father, gives what is truly good for His children. Just as earthly parents, though sinful, provide for their children, how much more will God provide what is best for us? Prayer is not a promise of prosperity or worldly riches, but a promise that our Father knows our needs better than we do. Even when our prayers seem unanswered, we trust that God is acting in wisdom and love. Our confidence rests not in our asking, but in His character.

The ultimate proof of God’s goodness is the gift of His Son. He prayed, He obeyed, and He went to the cross for our salvation. Because He was not spared, we now have the privilege of approaching God as Father, assured that He hears us for Christ’s sake. Through Him, we can ask, seek, and knock with boldness, knowing that every answer we receive comes from His perfect wisdom and steadfast love. Let us pray with confidence, seek with persistence, and knock with hope, trusting that our Father is pleased to hear His children.

We were so blessed to have Pastor Damon and his family back with us while visiting from their mission work in Japan. We celebrated with a heartwarming BBQ—filled with food, laughter, and sweet fellowship. It was such a blessing to catch up, share stories, and be encouraged together in the Lord. Grateful for the time we had and the light they continue to shine overseas!

This Sunday, our South Bay site will be gathering at the Lord’s Table to remember and proclaim Christ’s sacrifice. “For often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.” - 1 Corinthians 11:26.

Prepare your hearts as we come together in communion, reflecting on His grace and promise. See you Sunday!

“Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.” — James 5:16

There is power in prayer—especially when we come together in faith. After service every first Sunday of the month, we invite you to join us for a time of intentional prayer and intercession.

Whether you’re seeking or feel led to pray for others, your presence makes a difference.

Come join us as we seek God together, believing Him for healing, hope, and breakthrough in our lives, our church, and our community.

This Sunday, Pastor James reminded us that following Christ means engaging in real spiritual warfare. While we affirm the existence and sovereignty of God, we often overlook the active presence of Satan, the enemy of our souls. Scripture reveals that Satan is a real being—our adversary, the tempter, and the accuser—working to draw us away from God through deception and distortion. In Matthew 4, Jesus is confronted by Satan in the wilderness, but unlike Adam, He does not fail.

Before this moment of testing, Jesus is baptized by John. In this act, He identifies with sinners, not because He has any sin, but because He came to take the place of His people. As the heavens open, the Father declares His love and approval of the Son. Jesus is then led by the Spirit into a place of hardship and testing, showing us that trials are not signs of God’s absence but part of His purpose.

In the wilderness, Satan tempts Jesus in three specific ways. First, he urges Jesus to turn stones into bread, then to test God’s faithfulness, and finally to seize worldly glory without the cross. In each case, Jesus responds with the Word of God, rooted in His identity and trust in the Father. Where Adam and Israel failed, Jesus remains obedient.

Pastor James concluded by reminding us that Jesus’ victory is not just an example, but a vital part of our salvation. Still, His use of Scripture and trust in the Father show us how to endure temptation. When we rest in our identity in Christ and treasure God’s Word, the world has nothing lasting to offer. Let us stand firm in Him, armed with His truth, and walk faithfully in the power of His victory.

Last Sunday, Rev. Yuma reminded us from Luke 17 that the kingdom of God is already present among God’s people. By faith, we are already citizens of that kingdom. And yet, we live in the “already, but not yet”—Christ has brought His kingdom into the world, but it has not come in its fullness. This creates a tension for us: we are redeemed and made new, but we still live in a world affected by sin. As we await the return of Christ, our calling is to live faithfully as His people—bearing witness to the kingdom even while we long for its completion.

In light of this, Jesus tells a parable in Luke 18 to show that kingdom life must be marked by persistent prayer and unwavering faith. He speaks of a widow who, though powerless and overlooked, persistently seeks justice from a corrupt judge—one who neither fears God nor respects man. Despite his indifference, the judge grants her request simply because of her persistence. Jesus uses this contrast to draw our attention to the heart of God: if even an unjust judge responds to persistence, how much more will our righteous, loving Father respond to His people who cry out to Him day and night?

Jesus reminds us that God is not distant or reluctant—He is near, attentive, and compassionate. He hears every prayer and answers according to His perfect will and timing. Prayer is not about persuading a hesitant God, but expressing humble dependence on the One who delights to care for His children. The widow’s persistence is a model not of self-reliance, but of faith that refuses to let go of God’s promises.

As we await Christ’s return, we are called to be a people of prayer—prayers that reflect a deep longing for God’s kingdom, not just our personal wants or temporary needs. Jesus ends the parable with a searching question: “When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?” May He find in us a faith that is steadfast, kingdom-minded, and saturated with prayer as we live in hopeful anticipation of His return.

This Sunday, Rev. James Han shared from 1 John 2:15–17, urging us not to love the world or the things in it. As believers, our hearts belong to the Father, and love for the world—defined as the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—cannot coexist with that love. This “world” is not about creation or people, but the values and desires that oppose God.

We are reminded that worldliness begins when we over-desire, when good things become ultimate things, and start to control us. The answer isn’t simply to reject worldly pleasures, but to be filled with something greater: the love of the Father. When His love captures our hearts, worldly desires lose their power. This love reorients our affections and leads us to do the will of God.

The world is passing away, but those who live in God’s will abide forever. Let us fix our hearts on Christ, not because it is a sacrifice, but because He is better. He is our joy, our hope, and the love that truly satisfies.
