[Romans 1:17]

The good news tells how God accepts everyone who has faith, but only those who have faith. 

It is just as the Scriptures say, "The people God accepts because of their faith will live." 

"Keep trusting that God has the best in store for us, and that He's leading us to the right choices at the right time.

 I encourage you to stick close to God and win all your battles this coming week!"

[Matthew 1:21~23]

21. Then after her baby is born, name him Jesus, b) because he will save his people from their sins." 

22. So the Lord's promise came true, just as the prophet had said, 

23.  "A virgin will have a baby boy, and he will be called Immanuel," which means "God is with us."

"As we enter this blessed Christmas season, we remember the wondrous truth that Jesus came to us to save us from our sins. He did not arrive in grandeur or glory, but in the humblest of places, choosing the lowest place to be with us."

[Hebrews 12:2]

We must keep our eyes on Jesus, who leads us and makes 

our faith complete. 

He endured the shame of being nailed to a cross, because he knew that later on he would be glad he did. 

Now he is seated at the right side e) of God's throne!

"Here is a more detailed and closer-to-literal translation, while still keeping natural English: "How about beginning a life that fears (reveres) God by meditating on His Word every day and putting it into practice one thing at a time? As you read the Word, I bless you to find the message of obedience that you can carry out today, and to live according to His Word."

[Hebrews 12:2]

I pray that God will make you ready to obey him and that you will always be eager to do right. 

May Jesus help you do what pleases God. 

To Jesus Christ be glory forever and ever! Amen.

[1 Corinthians 3:9]

Apollos and I work together for God, and you are God's garden and God's building.

Jesus taught us the true calling and purpose of His Church: to worship God with all our hearts, to nurture and grow in His Word, to carry His mission into the world, to bring healing and restoration, and to practice compassion and care for those in need. As we reflect on these five callings, may we remember that the Church is not merely a building or a gathering, but the living community of God’s people—those who embody His love, truth, and grace in everyday life. May this week be a time when we intentionally choose to worship Him in all we do, seek spiritual growth through His Word, share the good news with those around us, extend healing through kindness and forgiveness, and offer care to the weary and the overlooked. I pray that as we live out these callings, our lives may radiate the light of Christ and bring glory to God in every step we take.

[Psalms 34:9]

Honor the LORD! You are his special people. No one who honors the LORD will ever be in need.

How about starting a life that honors God by meditating on His Word each day and putting it into practice, one step at a time? As you read the Scripture, may you discover a word of obedience to live out today, and be blessed as you walk in His truth.

A life that seeks not merely what God gives, but the joy of walking with Him.

A life that stays in constant communion with God in every moment.

A life that turns its eyes away from problems and circumstances, and rests in peace—knowing that the Almighty God walks beside us.

[Psalms 46:1]

1. God is our mighty fortress, always ready to help in times of trouble.  2. And so, we won't be afraid! Let the earth tremble and the mountains tumble into the deepest sea.  3. Let the ocean roar and foam, and its raging waves shake the mountains.

God who is with us 

"God is with us, providing for all our needs and everything we require. 

He always gives us the very best, abundantly and with love. 

Our part is to trust Him completely — to live by faith, not by sight."

[Psalms 127:1]

2. He said to them: A large crop is in the fields, but there are only a few workers. Ask the Lord in charge of the harvest to send out workers to bring it in. 

 3. Now go, but remember, I am sending you like lambs into a pack of wolves.

“God is Almighty. 

We should not only seek His power and grace, but also remember that He is with us every single moment — in every breath we take, in every step we make. 

We must be aware that our lives are meant to be lived together with Him, not apart from Him. 

When we walk with God, our lives are secure, for His presence protects us. When we live with God, our hearts find true completeness, for His grace makes us whole.”

“What Jesus asked His disciples to do”

[Luke 10:2~3]

2. He said to them: A large crop is in the fields, but there are only a few workers. Ask the Lord in charge of the harvest to send out workers to bring it in. 

3. Now go, but remember, I am sending you like lambs into a pack of wolves.

What can we do today, right where we are?

“The most precious message entrusted to us”

4.   Love is kind and patient, never jealous, boastful, proud, or 

5.  rude. Love isn't selfish or quick tempered. It doesn't keep a record of wrongs that others do. 

6.  Love rejoices in the truth, but not in evil. 

7. Love is always supportive, loyal, hopeful, and trusting.

With All My Heart

In this quiet time with You, Lord, I pour out my heart before Your throne. To the One who knows everything, nothing is hidden, With all my heart and devotion, I long for You. 

With all my heart I love You, with all my heart I want to know You. 

All of my life is Yours, I will worship You with all my heart. 

Even when I can’t understand, I will give thanks, Seeking only Your face. Let me obey each day, following You, With all my heart, I will love You, with all my heart I want to know You. 

All of my life is Yours, I will serve only You with all my heart.

[Isaiah 41:10]

"Don't be afraid. I am with you. Don't tremble with fear. I am your God. I will make you strong, as I protect you with my arm and give you victories."

“When we trust God’s Word in faith, that Word becomes a living power in our lives.”

[Luke 15:3~7]

3.   Then Jesus told them this story   4.   If any of you has a hundred sheep, and one of them gets lost, what will you do? Won't you leave the ninety-nine in the field and go look for the lost sheep until you find it?   5.   And when you find it, you will be so glad that you will put it on your shoulder   

6.  and carry it home. Then you will call in your friends and neighbors and say, "Let's celebrate! I've found my lost sheep."   7. Jesus said, "In the same way there is more happiness in heaven because of one sinner who turns to God than over ninety-nine good people who don't need to."

“Jesus, who gave His life on the cross for our salvation and our sins, still longs for us to join Him today in bringing even one soul to His saving love.”

[Romans 5:1]

3. But that's not all! We gladly suffer, because we know that suffering helps us to endure. 

4. And endurance builds character, which gives us a hope

“No matter where we are or what we face, God is there with us. His presence surrounds us everywhere."

"God walks with us in every step we take. Because He is with us, we are able to endure."

“May your life be one that delights the heart of God, and may you walk each day in His presence.”

[Psalms 23]

1. You, LORD, are my shepherd. I will never be in need.

2. You let me rest in fields of green grass. You lead me to streams of peaceful water, 3. and you refresh my life. You are true to your name, and you lead me along the right paths.

4. I may walk through valleys as dark as death, but I won't be afraid. You are with me, and your shepherd's rod makes me feel safe. 5. You treat me to a feast, while my enemies watch. You honor me as your guest, and you fill my cup until it overflows. 6. Your kindness and love will always be with me each day of my life, and I will live forever in your house, LORD.

“I encourage you to live each day with a sincere confession that everything God has provided has always been the very best, and that His ways have always been the best ways.”

[Matthew 6:20]

26 "Look at the birds in the sky! They don't plant or harvest. They don't even store grain in barns. Yet your Father in heaven takes care of them. Aren't you worth more than birds?"

“God always knows what we need. Each day He gives us is a precious gift. I encourage you to walk through this week in faith, trusting His goodness.”

[John 8:12]

12. Once again Jesus spoke to the people. This time he said, 

"I am the light for the world! Follow me, and you won't be walking in the dark. You will have the light that gives life."

“When everything around you is bright, you can’t really tell one light from another. But when it’s so dark that you can’t even see what’s right in front of you, that’s when a single ray of light stands out. The light that seemed ordinary in the daytime becomes clear and unmistakable in the night. When despair makes everything feel dark, if you can see even one true light, you can follow it. Sometimes despair itself becomes the chance that leads you to the right path. And I encourage you to follow the true Light—Jesus—who guides us faithfully.”

[John 15:15]

15. Servants don't know what their master is doing, 

and so I don't speak to you as my servants. I speak to you as my friends, and I have told you everything that my Father has told me.

"Every day, I take time at a set hour to pray. I imagine having tea with Jesus and share everything on my heart. When I see His face and smile, all my worries, fears, and problems fade away. The Almighty can handle anything. Every day at that time, Jesus is waiting for me by the tea table."

It’s not about seeking Jesus’ power or miracles, but about wanting Him for who He is and walking alongside Him.

[Matthew 5:13]

13. You are like salt for everyone on earth. But if salt no longer tastes like salt, how can it make food salty? All it is good for is to be thrown out and walked on.

"If we've been transformed through the Word, obedience, and prayer, then it's time to put on new clothes — a new life. Jesus called us the salt of the earth. So today, we choose to carry our cross and follow Him, just as He carried His."

[Psalms 25:14 ]

14. Our LORD, you are the friend of your worshipers, and you make an agreement with all of us.

"Just as a child lovingly asks a mother working in the kitchen, 'Is there anything I can help with?', I ask God in the same gentle way, 'Lord, is there anything I can do?' I pray that your life becomes one of walking with God daily—breathing in step with Him."

[Matthew 28:19~20 ]

19. Go to the people of all nations and make them my disciples. Baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, 

20. and teach them to do everything I have told you. 

I will be with you always, even until the end of the world.

"No matter where you are, you should be able to confidently and boldly speak about Jesus."

[Isaiah 61]

1. The Spirit of the LORD God has taken control of me! The LORD has chosen and sent me to tell the oppressed the good news, to heal the brokenhearted, and to announce freedom for prisoners and captives. 

2. This is the year when the LORD God will show kindness to us and punish our enemies. The LORD has sent me to comfort those who mourn, 

3. especially in Jerusalem. He sent me to give them flowers in place of their sorrow, olive oil in place of tears, and joyous praise in place of broken hearts. They will be called "Trees of Justice," planted by the LORD to honor his name. 

4. Then they will rebuild cities that have been in ruins for many generations.

5. They will hire foreigners to take care of their sheep and their vineyards.

6. But they themselves will be priests and servants of the LORD our God. The treasures of the nations will belong to them, and they will be famous. 

7. They were terribly insulted and horribly mistreated; now they will be greatly blessed and joyful forever.

8. I, the LORD, love justice! But I hate robbery and injustice. My people, I solemnly promise to reward you with an eternal agreement. 

9. Your descendants will be known in every nation. All who see them will realize that they have been blessed, by me, the LORD.

10. I celebrate and shout because of my LORD God. 

His saving power and justice are the very clothes I wear. They are more beautiful than the jewelry worn by a bride or a groom. 

11. The LORD will bring about justice and praise in every nation on earth, like flowers blooming in a garden.

"The word of God does not change over time. 

It still works on us now."

[Psalms 121:3~6. ]

3. The LORD is your protector, and he won't go to sleep or let you stumble. 

4. The protector of Israel doesn't doze or ever get drowsy. 

5 . The LORD is your protector, there at your right side to shade you from the sun. 

6. You won't be harmed by the sun during the day or by the moon k) at night.

יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֶיךָ, יְיָ אֱלֹהֵינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ, שֶׁתִּשְׁמֹר עַל בְּרִיאוּתוֹ וּבִטְחוֹנוֹ שֶׁל “R”, וְתִשְׁלַח לוֹ שָׁלוֹם, שַׁלְוָה וּבְרָכָה בְּתוֹךְ בֵּיתוֹ וּמִשְׁפַּחְתּוֹ.

[Matthew 5:16 ]

Make your light shine, so that others will see the good that you do and will praise your Father in heaven.

We hope that we can convey Jesus through the appearance of our lives.

We hope that Jesus' love and scent can be conveyed through us to those around him, such as family, friends, and colleagues.

Prayers for dear Pastor "Lim" and his wife.

Through their long ministry, they guided many people to God and made them know the love of Jesus. 

Pastor "Lim" has recently spread cancer to his kidneys and liver and is waiting for surgery.

Bless her son two young man and pray that they will always be accompanied by God.

Remembering Jesus' resurrection.

Why We Should Commit Under the Cross.

God always does what is best.

It means the beginning of the praise that our members have been singing for decades.
