Pastor Art Sepulveda
Art Sepulveda is the founder and senior pastor of Word of Life in beautiful downtown Honolulu, Hawaii. He grew up in Santa Barbara, California. He attended the University of Southern California on a soccer scholarship and graduated with a degree in Architecture. It was there he met his future wife, Kuna.
After working for several years in the architectural field, in both California and Hawaii, he began to experience a “dream-shift.” His desire to be the best in his field was replaced with a call to ministry. The Lord spoke to him from Philippians 2:16 to, “…hold forth the word of life…” and Word of Life Christian Center was started on September 23, 1984.
Since then Word of Life has grown from 25 people to over 6,000; with church campuses across the islands of Oahu, Maui and the Big Island, and church plants in California and Japan – with more campuses and plants opening soon! Our purpose is to fulfill the Heavenly Vision – to win souls and make disciples – by Advancing the Kingdom of God… Equipping the Saints…and Building Together the Body of Christ.
A BOLD AND RADICAL LIFE
What does it mean to be a Christian? For many, it only means to be forgiven so they can get to heaven one day. The life of the common Christian blends in with the rest of the world to the point where you can no longer tell the difference between those who say they follow Christ and those who don’t. But what God has cleansed, should not be called common!
God has called us to live a bold, radical, and uncommon life. When you discover that your purpose is anchored in Christ and His Church, you will be able to break free from the world’s constraints and begin to live an uncommon life. This book is meant to disturb the complacent, awaken the sleeping and to further radically ignite your holy pursuit of God.
Thank you, Pastor, for your great love and wisdom. I trust this book will bless multitudes. I love you and Kuna and your leadership and love for your people and the world. Our family salutes you.
Don’t allow yourself to become like so many other Christians who settle for ordinary and average when God has made it possible for you to rise above and to live in the realm of the uncommon.
God is counting on you to be an example of what His Word says that you can be and what His Word says that you can do so that you can influence others to come up to a higher level and become all that God wants them to be.
Take the challenge and dare to become an Uncommon Disciple
Uncommon Disciple is written by such a person, one compelled by the love of Christ to empower others to their fullest potential in God.
My prayer is that this book would touch your heart and furthermore mobilize you to step into your God-given destiny of becoming an uncommon disciple who will raise up uncommon disciples to the glory of God.
I believe this book is right on time! It’s truly powerful! Today, people honestly need to know the value of understanding and fulfilling God’s purpose for their lives. How can we fulfill His purpose for our lives if we don’t truly know Him, His thoughts, and His direction? It’s key to adopt a lifestyle of changing our thinking, so that it lines up with Him! Pastor Art Sepulveda has a heart for teaching the Word of God concerning how we, as believers, are to be UNCOMMON in a world full of “common.”
