Dig Into the Word

At Kalihi Union Church we value the truth of the Bible. We have classes where people can learn about different topics from a biblical perspective. This is not only a time for learning, but also for building relationships with the people in the class. They will learn together and pray for each other. Don’t worry if you’re a parent with a baby, we also have a nursery open during this time.

Come learn what it means to reflect the heart of God in our daily lives! Explore our various growing experiences below!

David — A Man After God’s Own Heart
9:00 AM | Limited to 25 | Library 
Rev. Dr. George Nagato

Being a man after God’s own heart, David longed to serve Him well, whether as an obscure shepherd boy along the Judean hillsides or as the highest reigning monarch of authority. But woven through his enviable life were tough threads of humanity, which keep us from worshiping the man today. Great and gallant, David was nevertheless merely a man, plagued by flaws in his character during his reign. May our studies over the next three months help us realize that devotion—not perfection—is the secret to living a life that pleases God. We need that reminder every day of our lives.

In this class, the Bible will be our main textbook, supplemented by Chuck Swindoll’s book, “David: A Man of Passion and Destiny,” and supported by a helpful, concise outline by John Butler. Upon your request a detailed outline on David’s life by John Butler will be available. For each week from the assigned reading, please create a personal one-liner or phrase that causes transformation in your life and would be a blessing to others. You will not be required to share this every week but encouraged to do so from time to time throughout our sessions.

Please make it a point not to miss more than 2 sessions. OK?

Following The Star — Preparing for Christmas
10:45 AM   |  Welcome Center
Bobble Pang & Sandy Oshiro

Christmas is a time for a celebration.
Christmas is a time for salvation.
Christmas is a time for reconciliation.

Take a pause for seven Sundays to ignite a new passion for Christmas. Is December about decorations, shopping for the perfect gift, parties or receiving the best gift, His Son, the Prince of Peace? Join us for Evangelistic craft making.

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” — Isaiah 9:6

Jesus is the Messiah
10:45 AM  | Library
Dave Beers & Phil Regier

We affirm that Jesus is the Messiah. But what does the term Messiah mean, and why is it so important? Join us as we study the Matthew’s Gospel and follow his argument that God’s covenants and prophecy as revealed in the Old Testament show that Jesus is The Christ, and that as The Messiah, He is most worthy of our worship.

The Book of Proverbs
9:00 AM  | Welcome Center
Yvonne Awai & Alan Nakamura

The Book of Proverbs teaches that practical wisdom and knowledge begin with a humble, reverent relationship with God. We will study how to apply daily lessons on honesty, kindness, and smart choices to your life honoring God.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your understanding, —Proverbs 3:5-6

Women of the Bible (Senior Women)
9:00 AM  | Library
Lucy Taketa & Sara Tompkison

We will study 52 Women of the Bible and discover how their stories don’t stand on their own but connect to the larger biblical narrative. Included in our study will be familiar women like Eve, Sarah, Deborah, and Ruth. And also less familiar women like the mothers of Moses, the woman of Endor, the wise woman of Abel, and Huldah. We will discover how these women are linked to each other and to the whole story of the Bible.
