Sunday morning is a time for challenge; to challenge the unsaved to trust Christ and to challenge the Christian in some area of their Christian walk. The Sunday morning service tells us what we should be doing while Sunday evening's message tells us how to do it. Ohana Baptist Church pastorwayne@obchurch.org Pastor Mike Bui God wants to work in you, but it must be all about Him and not about you. Galatians 2:16-21 Have you let your fire for God be put out? We need to remember that without God in our lives we will fail. You must get the focus off of yourself and onto God. God wants to work in you, but it must be all about Him and not about you. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/5032 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 01:30:53 -0700 2738 family, friends Pastor Wayne Surface Revival makes sense, scents, and cents. Nehemiah 8:8; Psalm 139:23-24; II Thessalonians 1:11-12 Revival makes sense. It makes sense to be there and it is about Common Sense. Revival makes Scents. Scents (Candles, incense, burnt offerings, etc.) were used in worship. Revival makes Cents. Add your 2 cents to the meetings. How much is a soul worth ? God wants your change. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/5031 Sun, 25 Jul 2010 17:30:29 -0700 2946 family, friends Pastor Wayne Surface What Do You Want? Do you want to change your life? Do you want to be revived in the Lord and walk according to His will? When seeking counsel, are you just trying to find someone to fix your problems for you or are you seeking change in your life in order to correct the issues in your life. In order to fix the problems in your life, you need to seek counsel, seek to change yourself, and seek God for His guidance; for the only one you can change is yourself; no one else. You must be willing to obey the Lord and change in accordance with His will Mark 10:17-22. Are you willing to work for change in your life? http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/5025 Mon, 19 Jul 2010 01:45:29 -0700 3049 family, friends Pastor Wayne Surface Our lives should be "worth every penny" of what God paid. Luke 21:1-4; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; Joshua 24:15 "A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned." You can't earn your salvation, but we should live our lives to be "worth every penny" of what God paid. "A Penny for your Thoughts." Are you depositing the right thoughts in your life? "Give Your Two Cents Worth" We create more value as we come together. What we do for God adds up. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/5021 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 17:30:16 -0700 2543 family, friends Pastor Wayne Surface Jesus gave everything for us. We need to give everything to Him. Romans 12:1, Jesus gave everything for us. His Son - John 3:16, His hands - Isaiah 49:16, His head -John 19:2, His back - Hebrews 12:2 He carried the cross for us. We should give our service. His ears - Matt. 16:24, His feet, His voice, His last breath. We need to be a living sacrifice, but we need to do it Gods way. Stay at Jesus' feet John 15 http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/5012 Mon, 12 Jul 2010 01:30:29 -0700 1298 family, friends Pastor Wayne Surface Are you willing to have change with God? II Corinthians 3:17-18; Mark 12:14-17; Matthew 16:26 Do you have change to give to God? Look at your change - We are created in His image; We should trust in God; We are to be united in Him and we have liberty in Him. You don't get change back until you give first . Give yourself to God and to others. What will you give in exchange for your time, for wisdom, for your soul? http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/5011 Sun, 11 Jul 2010 17:30:29 -0700 2700 family, friends Guest Speaker Each of us is a priest. We have duties to perform as a priest. 1 Peter 2:1-10 We do not have to go through a stranger to talk to our earthly father; neither do we have to go through someone else to talk to our heavenly Father. We are to offer up spiritual sacrifices: our person, our praise, our possessions, and our prayers. A message from Bro. Mike Lester. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/5001 Thu, 08 Jul 2010 02:00:12 -0700 1685 family, friends Guest Speaker Not living in complacency through your Christian life I Samuel 1, I Samuel 6:1, Do you have an Ebenezer in your life? Where God has done a mighty work in your life. A memorial of that victory. Be careful of symbolism over substance. You have to APPLY it. The greatest danger is becoming apathetic. Where is your heart? Do not become complacent. Do you ask God to prepare your heart for His word? Put the action behind what you do. Be sold out for Christ, empty yourself for Him. A message from Pastor John Sass. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/4995 Mon, 05 Jul 2010 01:30:36 -0700 2654 family, friends Pastor Wayne Surface We need to stand up and wave our banner for the Lord. Psalm 100, 60:4; Exodus 17:15 The Star Spangled Banner is hard to sing because it is so high. God's ways are higher than our ways but we need to rise up to the challenge. Many people forget the words, but we should not forget God or His Word. We need to stand up and wave our banner for the Lord. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/4994 Sun, 04 Jul 2010 17:30:30 -0700 2925 family, friends Guest Speaker Living a life that shows what God did for you. In stressful times how do you react? What flavor of tea are you when put in hot water? Bitter? Hate? With Jesus in your heart, the fruit of the spirit will come out. When you trust in yourself you'll always mess up.You need to trust in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9). What do you have in your life that says, "God is amazing" (Joshua 22:26-28). A message from Bro. Ben Hoshko. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/4984 Mon, 28 Jun 2010 01:30:26 -0700 1120 family, friends Guest Speaker You have to put off the old man and put on the new. When we accept God's gift of salvation, we must put on the new man. When we continue in our old ways after accepting God's gift, it is like slapping Him in the face. You can't stop sinning without God. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/4985 Mon, 28 Jun 2010 01:30:13 -0700 1110 family, friends Pastor Wayne Surface Mmm! to groan enduring the pains of this life because we have hope in Christ. Mmm! to groan in pain. We endure the pains of this life because we have hope in Christ. Mmm! in peace and bliss, We need to find that place of peace and rest in Christ. Mmm! Mmm! is yes or no. Will we say yes or no to God today? http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/4983 Sun, 27 Jun 2010 17:30:08 -0700 2459 family, friends Guest Speaker Resist Temptation and Forgive What would Jesus do? What did Jesus do? Jesus was tempted in all points of life, yet He did not fall once to sin. Isaiah 53:9; Jesus had done no sin, neither was any deceit in His mouth. We need to be like Jesus and restrain from the temptations of our lives. Seek His face always and pray for His strength and wholesome armour. Be Holy for God is Holy. Learn to forgive and forget the sins that have been committed against you. Ishmael was born out of Abraham's sin. In Genesis 22:2 God says, Take now thy son, thine ONLY SON Isaac, whom thou lovest. Amazing! God forgave Abraham for the sin he committed. How loving and forgiving is our God that He would forgive and forget our sins like that! Praise the Lord. Walk uprightly, resist temptation, and forgive! In Jesus' name do these things, Amen. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/4978 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 01:45:58 -0700 2513 family, friends Pastor Wayne Surface Comparing the lives of Saul and David. One was forgiven the other wasn't. Why? Comparing the lives of Saul and David. One was forgiven the other wasn't. Why? When they sinned how did they react. Saul blamed others while David took ownership of his sin. Saul's punishment was that he was rejected from being king. (I Sam 15:22-23) David had his wives taken away from him in public. (II Sam 12:10-12) Saul responded by begged for forgiveness, but because he feared the people, not the Lord. He was sorry he got caught. (I Sam 15:30) David admitted his sins. (II Sam 12:20-23) The result; Saul lost the spirit of God. (I Sam 16:14) David lost the joy of the Lord, (Psalm 51:19) but he was still used by God. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/4974 Mon, 21 Jun 2010 01:15:19 -0700 3091 family, friends Pastor Wayne Surface What price are you willing to pay for sin? Psalm 51:1-12, II Samuel 19:4, Acts 13:22 David paid the price for his sin. David's family paid the price for his sin. Others paid the price for his sin. What price are you willing to pay? http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/4973 Sun, 20 Jun 2010 17:30:47 -0700 2354 family, friends Pastor Wayne Surface Three reasons to be a Filipino FIlipino's have a nice tan.

Jer. 33:1-3, Jos. 1:7-9, Psalms 119:11, 97, Is 55:8-11, To be an MVP Christian we must learn the art of meditation. Start by memorizing the Word of God. He wants us to RSVP (Read, Study, Vision & Plan). Then we need to Visualize the Word - Visualize the providence of God, people, objects and words. Finally, we should Personalize His Word. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/4946 Mon, 07 Jun 2010 01:30:31 -0700 2616 family, friends Pastor Wayne Surface We need to muse, marvel, and make a decision. Psalm 39:1-13, 143:5-6; Philippians 4:8; Matthew 22:22 We need to muse with our heart, mind and soul. We should marvel at God's creation, our salvation and His blessing. We need to make a decision. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/4945 Sun, 06 Jun 2010 17:30:22 -0700 2339 family, friends Pastor Wayne Surface There are four kinds of tastes: There are four kinds of tastes: The sweet things of God can be good to you and good for you.

Judges 6:11-17, Luke 14:27-33, Ezekiel 22:30 Count the cost of serving Christ. We can win the victory but we have to take back the stronghold. We need a spiritual surge. A few dedicated men and women to pray, praise and serve. What is your exit strategy? You can win the battle and lose the war. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/4914 Sun, 16 May 2010 17:30:04 -0700 2791 family, friends Guest Speaker A message from Missionary Sam Marasco Heb 11:1-11 Faith is something. Faith is evidence. Faith is sometimes disguised as obedience. Faith is for right now. Faith is believing to see. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/4910 Thu, 13 May 2010 02:00:40 -0700 1352 family, friends Pastor Wayne Surface Giving Honor to whom honor is due - Mothers Romans 13:7, Ephesians 3:13-17, 1 Timothy 6:1, 1 Timothy 1:17 We need to render honor to who honor is due. This includes parents, teachers, bosses, Pastors, peers, your spouse, yourself and God. Obey, Honor, and Respect. Obedience is doing what you're told to do. It can be demanded. Honor is doing something because they're your authority and can be expected. Respect is earned. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/4900 Mon, 10 May 2010 01:00:32 -0700 2778 family, friends Pastor Wayne Surface Rendering Honor To God Romans 13:7, Psalm 116:12, Proverbs 3:56, Psalms 98:8 Render honor to God. Honor means "to give weight", to "value", and an "ornament". Give God His dues. We owe a debt of life and a debt of love. Whom should we honor? Mothers, Fathers, Teachers, Pastors, others - but first we must honor God with our words, sacrifices and life. To honor God we must humble ourselves. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/4899 Sun, 09 May 2010 17:30:33 -0700 2595 family, friends Pastor Wayne Surface A Christian should be like a good oil lamp - the oil burns, not the wick. Matthew 5:14-16, Luke 24:32, Job 18:5-7 Light a match and it will go out quickly, but a match can be used to get a fire going. Light a candle, it will last longer but will soon burn up. A Christian should be like a good oil lamp - the oil burns, not the wick. A candlestick puts the light where others can see it and reflects the light unto the path. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/4890 Mon, 03 May 2010 01:00:52 -0700 2321 family, friends Pastor Wayne Surface Review of each of the beatitudes. Matthew 5:1-12, 1 Thessalonians 1:3-8, Psalm 149:1-3 Review of each of the beatitudes. We need to pollinate the Gospel wherever we go. We should Celebrate what God is doing in our lives. Meditate on God and His Word. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/4889 Sun, 02 May 2010 17:30:31 -0700 2787 family, friends Guest Speaker Standing firmly for Jesus Christ; stand for the lost sinners. Our guest speaker Jeff Greeson explains that we must stand for Christ. Children come with an instructions manual; the Bible. Teach them to live according to the Bible. Proverbs 27:17 - People are sharpened by each other in Church. When men and women come together in fellowship they grow stronger in Christ. We must stand firmly in Christ; we must stand for the lost sinners. Seek to grow strong in Christ and reach out to those that need Christ. We must not stand in our pride and selfishness. Put on the whole armor of God and resist evil; be the light that God calls us to be and shine in this world of darkness. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/4887 Thu, 29 Apr 2010 01:30:56 -0700 1920 family, friends Pastor Wayne Surface Peace means to pacify the storms. (Pacifc means peaceful) Storms will come and we need to expect them and ride them out. James 1:2, Matthew 5:9, Psalm 107:23-31, Mark 4:37-41 Sometimes we need a pacemaker so our hearts can be at peace. Have we ever wondered if God really cares, why we have the storms in our lives? God does not promise to take the storms away, He does promise to take us to the other side though. We forget that so easily. How easily we forget how God has taken care of us in the past through other storms.The problem is, Jesus see's us, but do we see Him? Sometimes we need to take the responsibility to just abide. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/4875 Mon, 26 Apr 2010 01:30:43 -0700 1922 family, friends Pastor Wayne Surface As the salt of the earth we should be seasoning and enjoying the spice of life. Matthew 5:1-16, Job 6:6-7, Luke 14:34-35, Psalm 63:1 As the salt of the earth we should be seasoning and enjoying the spice of life. We should also create a thirst for God in others. We are to be a preservative in the world around us. Salt in the Bible was a symbol of purity. Salt to be good must be spread out. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/4873 Sun, 25 Apr 2010 17:30:07 -0700 2230 family, friends Guest Speaker You need to remember the valley when you are on the mountaintop Will you still be on the mountaintop of God's will after many years.

A message by Brother Allen Fields http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/4864 Thu, 22 Apr 2010 02:00:29 -0700 1171 family, friends Pastor Wayne Surface Are you persecuted for God? In life you will be persecuted for serving God. Satan will attack you. How will you react when he roars and attacks? James 4:7 Will you react in flight? Ephesians 6:10-12 Be strong in the Lord and put on God's wholesome armor that you may be able to stand against the devil. James 1:14-15 Many Christians will delay sin rather than fleeing from it. We must flee and seek Christ's power for strength against temptation. Many of life's persecutions are created by ourselves (laziness, repetitious sinning, wrong choices). Seek the Lord's will in all we do to receive His blessings and might in persevering in life's tribulations. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/4862 Sun, 18 Apr 2010 17:30:27 -0700 2315 family, friends Guest Speaker Three aspects of Elijah’s faith that we need to prove God in our generation.

Luke 13:6-9; I Peter 4:8, Ephesians 5:29; Hebrews 12:15 To grow fruit in your marriage and other relationships, you must learn to dress it, dig it, and dung it. The Bible calls a farmer a husbandman. As husbands, we are the farmers of our families. If there is no fruit, then it is our fault. We must dig down to the root of our problems to fix them. "Mowing" over problems doesn't take care of them - they just keep growing back. Nobody wins a manure fight. Don't cast it at each other, but cast it down to fertilize your relationship to help it grow. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/4528 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 01:30:40 -0700 2108 family, friends Pastor Wayne Surface Adding joy to our life makes circumstances easier to deal with. Galatians 5:22-25; Psalms 16:11; Romans 14:7 Joy is like a lemon because it has the opposite effect as a lemon, make you sour, and When I think of lemons and joy, I think of Lemon Joy dish washing soap. Joy, like soap, is what you add to life's problems to make them easier to deal with. Joy has a clean, fresh smell as does His sacrifice for us and ours for Him. Joy also brings the shine to life. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/4525 Sun, 13 Sep 2009 17:30:08 -0700 2651 family, friends Pastor Wayne Surface Learning to farm the things of GOD. Galatians 5:22-25, Proverbs 11:30, Luke 8:11, Matthew 9:36-38 GOD has called us to be farmers of men. We need to sow as many seeds as we can in every way we can. After you plant the seeds, water them. If you are faithful, you will harvest a crop. Soul-winning takes patience like waiting for a pineapple which takes 18-24 months to grow. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/4516 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 01:30:48 -0700 2200 family, friends Pastor Wayne Surface Love is like a peach. Galatians 5:22-25, Revelation 2:4, 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 Love is like a peach - soft and fuzzy and sweet on the outside, but sooner or later you will hit the pits! Love is the sweetener of life, without the love of Christ the Christian life is bitter. Learn how to add love to all of the "recipes" of life - there are no artificial substitutes that will satisfy. To grow love you have to plant the seeds of love. http://www.obchurch.org/index.php/messages/4514 Sun, 06 Sep 2009 17:29:15 -0700 2682 family, friends Pastor Mike Bui Ohana Baptist Church Teens takover of the service.
