Dear Parents,
Picture the reality of your salvation: Imagine standing as a defendant in a courtroom. You’ve been justly found guilty of a crime and the penalty is death. But rather than ordering law enforcement to lead you away to be executed, the judge gets up and takes your place. He takes your punishment upon himself, declaring your innocence and allowing you to walk free. How would you respond?
This is essentially what Jesus does for sinners who trust in Him. God is the Judge, and rather than sentencing us to death like we deserve, the Father sent His Son to ...

The end of the year is coming, so I want to inform you about the three chord morning prayer. We normally start the three chord morning prayer from the first Wednesday after the New Year. In the coming year, that day is January 3rd and I was concerned that it may be too soon after New Year’s day. Therefore, we are planning to start from January 10th which is the second Wednesday of the month.
Two years ago, the book chosen was “The Resolution for Men”. At that time, I promised to pick a book for women later, so this time a book titled “Woman, your mission ...

Dear Parents,
After Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection, Jesus showed His followers that He is alive. He taught them about Himself and about God’s kingdom. (Luke 24:25-27,44-48) Jesus told them that He would soon return to the Father. (John 20:17)
Jesus directed the Eleven to go a mountain. When they arrived, Jesus appeared. Some of them wondered if Jesus was finally going to overthrow the Roman government and set up His kingdom on earth.

I noticed that there are many who accepted Jesus but did not get baptized, so I want to talk to you about baptism. Accepting Jesus and baptism is not two but one activity. Jesus said that ‘no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.’ (John 3:5) Apostles baptized people when they accepted Jesus as their savior. (Act 2:41)
Accepting Jesus means accepting Jesus as the Lord and savior. Therefore, accepting Jesus not only means salvation, but also repenting the old way of life and making a decision to live according to ...

Dear Parents,
After Jesus’ death and resurrection, He appeared to His disciples over a 40-day period. At one point, He appeared to more than 500 people. During that time, Jesus taught about the kingdom of God. (Acts 1:3) Some disciples wondered if Jesus was going to restore the kingdom of Israel. (Acts 1:6)
Jesus had a different plan for the disciples. He directed the Eleven to go to a mountain, where He appeared to them again. They worshiped Him, but some still doubted. (Matt. 28:17) On the mountain, Jesus gave His disciples the Great Commission. First, Jesus ...

Some stopped coming to house church often say that they feel their time is wasted. They do not feel that they gain any through sharing and they feel it is wast of time and therefore, they do not want to come. They are busy and need to spend time with children, so they do not have time for house church. This line of thinking comes from the lack of understanding of the value of house church.
If they do not come to house church, what will they do during that time? They can go out for a drive or eat out as a family but that is not that often. The time is most ...
