REAPPOINTMENT SYSTEM FOR PASTOR
As of August of this year, it has been 5 years since I started serving as a Senior Pastor and now it is the 6th year. According to SBC constitution, there is a vote for reappointment for Sr. Pastor at the end of his 6th year. If 2/3 of voting executed by registered church members is for the reappointment, Sr. Pastor will have a Sabbatical year and serve for another 6 years. This reappointment voting will recur every 7 years like this. The sabbatical year can be for one year or a part of a year depends on the preference of the pastor. Please refer to the church ...
Jesus Appeared to the Disciples
Dear Parents,
Only a few days had passed since Jesus was arrested, beaten, and crucified. His followers were undoubtedly afraid and confused. They met together in a house, locking the doors because they were afraid of the Jews. Would the Jews do to them what they had done to Jesus? The disciples had believed that Jesus was the Messiah, but they had abandoned Him and Jesus was killed. How could He save anyone if He was dead?
But now some people were reporting that Jesus was alive! Could it be true? The disciples were talking about these things when Jesus stood among ...
CONCEPT OF STEWARDSHIP
One of the important concepts Christianity follows is stewardship. All we have is not ours but they belong to God who entrusted them to us for a time being (1 Peter 4:10). Therefore, my talents, materials I own, or my time are God’s and it is the best to be used according to His purpose.
This important concept of stewardship applies to children that my children are not mine but God’s. God called us and entrusted them to us, ‘Would you keep my children for a while and raise them?’ Therefore, we should do our best in raising them, but we should not force our ...
The Emmaus Disciples
Dear Parents,
Jesus’ death and resurrection should not have surprised the disciples. Sometimes Jesus spoke metaphorically about His death and resurrection. (See Matt. 12:39; Mark 14:58; John 2:19; 3:14-15.) Other times, Jesus plainly told the disciples that He would be betrayed, crucified, buried, and resurrected on the third day. (Matt. 17:12; Mark 8:31; Luke 9:22) In fact, Jesus had spoken so frequently of His death and resurrection, the chief priests and Pharisees asked Pilate to place guards at the tomb in case the disciples stole Jesus’ body. (See Matt. ...
GOD OF TRINITY
When I first encountered Christianity, I could not quite understand the concept of trinity. One God in three persons sounded to me at that time like an elaborate theory rather than something plausible. In addition, it hindered me from having faith by making me think that other theories in Christianity could follow the same suite. However, after I became a believer, the trinity is the element that made my faith stronger as time goes by.
Of course, I am still not sure of the proposition of ‘One God in three persons’ or how it is possible. I only know that it ...
Jesus’ Resurrection
Dear Parents,
The time between Friday afternoon and Sunday morning must have been dark hours for Jesus’ disciples. Fear, doubt, and confusion certainly overwhelmed their thoughts. Jesus, their Lord, was dead. He had been unjustly arrested, falsely accused, and severely beaten. Even worse, He had been killed in a horrible manner: by crucifixion.
The story doesn’t end there. Jesus’ body was laid in a tomb. The tomb was sealed and guards watched over it. The Jews remembered Jesus’ claim that He would rise from the dead (John 2:19-21), and they made sure no one ...
THE ORDER OF HOUSE CHURCH MEETING
Layman’s seminar is just around the corner. This time more participants are coming from different continents like Korea, China and Australia than the US. Considering the great sacrifice of these participants who are coming from such distant location, I sincerely hope that they will gain what they come for. Since this week’s house church is with a guest, it would be important that the house church will be presented without omitting any important elements. Because of that, I want to stress few areas which can be neglected easily.
The two most important parts ...
