Ali‘i Sunday at Kawaiaha‘o Church Honoring

Queen Elizabeth Ka‘ahumanu

(1772-1832) Favorite wife of Kamehameha the Great, appointed to be the Kuhina Nui (Prime Minister) to King Kamehameha II. She was the highest officer of the kingdom next to the King. By her strong will and native brilliance, she saw what was best for her people and the Kingdom. Convinced that the ancient gods had departed, she, with Liholiho and the high priest Hewahewa, led in pronouncing the end of the Kapu (Religious) System. She saw the contrast of life-styles between the missionary and the nonmissionary and asked those who were teaching her people to read and write, to sew and plant and live righteous lives, if they would stay. Queen Ka‘ahumanu accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. When she died on June 5, 1832, it was said that “there is no one her equal to fill her place.” Her last words were . . .

“Eia no wau e Iēsu...E nana ‘olu‘olu mai…” “Here I am Lord Jesus, Grant me thy gracious smile…”

BEECHER/hfg 21

“Love Divine, All Loves Excelling” [1] Love divine, all loves excelling, Joy of heaven to earth come down, Fix in us Thy humble dwelling, All Thy faithful mercies crown. Jesus, Thou art all compassion, Pure, unbounded love Thou art; Visit us with Thy salvation, Enter every trembling heart.

[2] Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit, Into every troubled breast; Let us all in Thee inherit, Let us find Thy promised rest. Take away our bent to sinning, Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its beginning, Set our hearts at liberty. [3] Come, Almighty to deliver, Let us all Thy life receive; Suddenly return, and never, Nevermore Thy temples leave. Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thy hosts above, Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy perfect love. [4] Finish then Thy new creation, Pure and spotless let us be; Let us see Thy great salvation, Perfectly restored in Thee. Changed from glory into glory, ’Til in heaven we take our place, ’Til we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love and praise.

MEDITATION

“Who Is Jesus?” Genesis 12:1; John 3:16-17

Excerpt from the Deed of Conveyance of Kawaiaha‘o Church by Kamehameha III and Kekauluohi to the members of Kawaiaha‘o Church (July 21, 1842):

In order to show the nature of the doctrine believed by this church and in order that after generations may not mistake in this respect it is proper to commit to the custody of writing, in this instrument the principal matter of belief of this Church, as follows: Will believe in Jehovah, that he is God, that He had no beginning, that He will have no end and that He will suffer no change, that He is not indeed visible to the bodily eye, but that He dwelleth everywhere that He knoweth all things, that He is all powerful, all wise, and righteous altogether, that He possesses every glory and every good, that He created the earth and the heavens, and men and angels, both this world and the world to come and all things that are therein, that He continues and protects all things according to His own pleasure that he alone is God,

and that all other things whatsoever which may be called god are vanity and the work of falsehood it absorbeth sin and justifieth to eternal life all the righteous who believe in Him – that there is no other name given under heaven among men whereby we may be Saved. That He is the King of Zion, that His is all power in heaven and on earth, and that he will be the Judge of quick and dead. We also believe in the Holy Spirit that it is the Spirit of God, that it testified to men of their sin, and convinces them of the righteousness and holiness of God, and prepares them for eternal life in heaven. We also believe that God has a church on earth, and that his purpose is to establish it firmly among all nations and to make it glorious forever, and that He desires that all who have been born again by the good word of the Lord should make themselves members of His church and should walk together before Him with holy heart in all his laws and [page 3] We further believe that the Holy Scriptures both the Old Testament and the New Testament, is the word of God, that it is true, that it is holy, and that it is the only guide to true doctrine and the right service of God. We further believe that man was made in the likeness of God, that he was pure and happy and that he has fallen into transgression, and therefore that of his own human nature all men of every generation are in sin and death. We also believe that God of His own love alone promised to give a Savior unto life, and that according to such promise He sent here to this world His Son, to be born of woman in the likeness of man. We also believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, that He is the Son of God, that He died on the cross as an atonement for our sins, and also for the sins of the whole world, that there is abundant life in His blood, that ordinances which He has commanded. We also believe in the resurrection of the body at the judgment of the great day of the Lord, and in the eternal life of the righteous and the eternal death of the wicked.

CLOSING HYMN

“Great Is Thy Faithfulness” Hebrews 10:23

[1] Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father! There is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not: As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be. [Refrain]: Great is Thy faithfulness, Great is Thy faithfulness, Morning by morning new mercies I see; All I have needed Thy hand hath provided— Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me! [2] Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest, Sun, moon, and starts in their courses above, Join with all nature in manifold witness To Thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love. [Refrain]: [3] Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide, Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow— Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

STATEMENT OF FAITH (of the United Church of Christ) We believe in God, the Eternal Spirit, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and our Father, and to His deeds we testify: He calls the worlds into being, creates man in his own image and sets before him the ways of life and death. He seeks in holy love to save all people from aimlessness and sin. He judges men and nations by his righteous will declared through prophets and apostles. In Jesus Christ, the man of Nazareth, our crucified and risen Lord, he has come to us and shared our common lot, conquering sin and death and reconciling the world to himself. He bestows upon us his Holy Spirit, creating and renewing the Church of Jesus Christ, binding in covenant faithful people of all ages, tongues, and races. He calls us into his Church to accept the cost and joy of discipleship, to be his servants in the service of men, to proclaim the gospel to all the world, and resist the powers of evil; to share in Christ’s baptism and eat at his table to join him in his passions and victory. He promises to all who trust him forgiveness of sins and fullness of grace, courage in the struggle for justice and peace. his presence in trial and rejoicing, and eternal life in his Kingdom which has no end. Blessing and honor, glory and power be unto him! Amen. *Statement of Faith, approved by the Second General Synod of the United Church of Christ, 1959
