Welcome to our Experiencing God video series at Hope Chapel North Shore. This post is a growing collection of teachings and encouragement as we walk through the Experiencing God study together.
We pray each video strengthens your faith, helps you recognize where God is working, and encourages you to respond with obedience and trust.
Hope Chapel North Shore is excited to welcome Choong Man Kim as our guest speaker this Saturday, January 31, 2026, at 9:00 AM at Haiku Bible Church.
Known for his dynamic blend of rapping, preaching, and Spirit-led teaching, Choong Man Kim brings a message that connects deeply across generations. This gathering is open to everyone—families, students, leaders, and friends—so come expectant and ready to be inspired.
Choong Man Kim earned his Master of Divinity (MDiv) from Gateway Seminary, formerly known as Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary. His theological training, combined with his creative communication and heart for discipleship, shapes his passion to help people walk closely with Jesus.
He is the Founder and CEO of DIVIN3KINGDOM, a nonprofit ministry that equips Christian leaders to live out “The R.A.D. Life” of Jesus Christ—rooted in authentic faith, obedience, and mission.
Choong Man Kim also serves as a Christian Education Teacher at Kamehameha Schools, where he invests in the next generation by integrating biblical truth, leadership, and education.
Choong Man Kim has personally walked through the Experiencing God study and will be introducing Week 4, centered on the truth:
“God pursues a love relationship with each of us that is real and personal.”
This week invites us to move beyond knowing about God and into a lived, relational love with Him—one that transforms how we listen, obey, and follow.
Scripture Focus:
Matthew 22:37–38 (ESV)
“And he said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment.’”
John 14:21 (ESV)
“Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”
These passages remind us that love for God is not abstract—it is personal, obedient, and deeply relational.

All are invited—come ready to encounter God and be reminded that He is actively pursuing a real and personal relationship with you.
We are excited to invite the entire Hope Chapel North Shore ʻohana to take part in a powerful church-wide journey called Experiencing God beginning January–March 2026.
This isn’t just another study—it’s an invitation to deepen your relationship with God by learning to recognize where He is working and how He is calling us to join Him. Many believers have been transformed by this study over the years, and we believe God will use it in a meaningful way within our church family.
Daily personal study (5 days per week)
Weekly small group discussions
Sermons aligned with the study themes
Kickoff Celebration: Saturday, January 10, 2026
Potluck & Life Group Launch following the kickoff
Study guides are available for a subsidized cost of $10. Please choose one that best fits you and pick it up at the HCNS Office this Tuesday.
This is more than a study—it’s a life-shaping journey of faith. Whether you’re new to church or have been walking with God for years, we invite you to be part of what God is doing among us.

I am thrilled to invite you to join the entire Hope Chapel North Shore ‘ohana for a life-changing spiritual journey called Experiencing God. More than a sermon series, this is a church-wide movement—a season of intentionally learning to recognize where God is at work around us and how He invites us to join Him.
Decades ago, this study deeply shaped believers and churches across our Island, creating a culture of expectancy for how God might move in everyday lives and ordinary circumstances. Recently, Nicole and I worked through the “Experiencing God” workbook together, and it profoundly transformed the way we see God’s presence and respond to His leading.
Now, we sense God inviting our whole church family to lean in together and experience Him afresh.
For the next ten weeks, Hope Chapel North Shore will journey through this study side by side. Here’s how it works:
Each participant will engage with five days of guided personal study each week, helping you look for God's activity, hear His voice, and respond to His leading.
Your life group/‘ohana group will have the option to meet weekly for conversation, reflection, and encouragement. These gatherings will be an important space to share what God is stirring in your heart.
Every Saturday service will focus on the same themes covered in your study that week, helping our entire church family move forward together in unity and purpose.
We will officially launch Experiencing God on Saturday, January 10, 2026 with a meal and a special focus on our new and existing ‘ohana groups. We can’t wait to celebrate what God is going to do as we begin this journey together!
The official Experiencing God study guide typically costs more than $20, but because we want everyone to participate, we are offering it for a subsidized cost of just $10 per person for those joining a life group.
You can purchase your study guide:
At any Saturday service
At the church office on Tuesdays
(Cash, Check, Venmo accepted, or “Give” Link on HopeChapelNorthShore.com)
Please make sure to pick up your book before the end of 2025 so we can begin the new year ready and equipped. This is also a great time to consider joining a life group—or even starting a new one.
Whether you’ve taken this study before or are exploring it for the first time, I genuinely hope you’ll join us with a fresh Experiencing God book. I believe God will use this study to transform our lives, deepen our relationships, and strengthen our church family in powerful ways.
If you’re interested in joining an ‘ohana group, hosting an ‘ohana group, or leading an ‘ohana group, please reach out to us using the connect form on our website or talk to one of our elders at a Saturday morning service.
I can’t wait to see what God does!
In the First Love of Jesus (1 John 4:9),

This December, we invite you to slow down, look up, and rediscover the beauty of the Christmas story through our three-week series at Hope Chapel North Shore:
Messiah. Immanuel. Hosanna.
Christmas is more than a season—it's a reminder that God steps into human history with promise, presence, and salvation. Each week focuses on one powerful name of Jesus and how it brings hope into our lives today.
God keeps His promises.
From the prophets of old to the manger in Bethlehem, the arrival of Jesus fulfills the longing of generations. This week, as we look with “Eyes of Faith,” we remember that God is faithful, and His plans always come to completion.
God draws near.
Even in uncertainty, Jesus enters our world with compassion, comfort, and presence. Immanuel reminds us that we are not alone—God is with us in every moment.
Our Savior King has come—and will come again.
“Hosanna” is both a cry for rescue and a declaration of praise. As we celebrate Christ’s first coming, we lift our eyes to His promise to make all things new.
Join us every Saturday at 9am at Haiku Bible Church (1121 Kokomo Rd) as we celebrate the hope of Jesus together.
This is a beautiful opportunity to bring someone who needs encouragement, community, or a fresh connection with God.
Whether you’re new to the area, returning to church, or simply needing hope this season, we’d be honored to worship with you.
