Jesus Ascended to Heaven
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.
Jesus said, “It is not for you to know times or periods that the Father has set by His own authority. But you will ...
THE BIBLICAL MEANING OF BAPTISM
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 ...
Jesus Gave the Great Commission
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 ...
TIME SPENT FOR HOUSE CHURCH
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 ...
Jesus Forgives and Restores
Dear Parents,
After Jesus’ resurrection and His appearance to the disciples, seven of the disciples returned to Galilee, near the Sea of Galilee where Jesus had called four of His disciples to be fishers of men. (See Luke 5:1-11.) The disciples went fishing. Perhaps they felt it reasonable to return to the fishing business since their stint as disciples was apparently over—or so they thought!
In Bible times, nighttime was the preferred time for fishing. Fish caught at night could be sold fresh in the morning at market. But by daybreak, the disciples had caught ...
CERTAIN ALLEGATIONS AGAINST ME
Some of you may have seen it, but there is someone who posts calumny against me in the church website or website of House Church Ministries International (HCMI). The writer writes his name as ‘Truth’ and claims that I deliberately broke the church audio system and as the new system was installed, I received a huge rebate (last year, it said that the contractor received the rebate but then recently the recipient was changed to me.), that I received a kickback from the purchase of the land in Katy, that I stole a church contribution from the 3rd service before I became ...
Jesus and the Doubter
Dear Parents,
Jesus’ followers had seen Jesus alive! Two disciples met Jesus as they were walking to Emmaus, and then Jesus appeared to a group of His disciples as they met together in a locked room. But one of the disciples, Thomas, had missed out. He wasn’t there when Jesus appeared. He hadn’t seen Jesus for himself.
So despite his friends’ claims that the Lord was risen, Thomas doubted. In fact, he refused to believe. (John 20:25) Witnesses testified that they had seen Jesus, but Thomas wanted physical evidence. He lacked faith and was stubborn in his ...
