Grace - God's New Society - Part 2 - None but Jesus!

As your new pastor, I could not be more excited to join this community. With each passing week, I continue to learn more about the different cultures represented in our congregation. My prayer for our church is that we would know God’s grace and be known as a gracious community that loves Jesus.

This week, I met with some of the other international pastors in the city, and I was significantly encouraged by our time together. Much like our church, there were many different backgrounds and nationalities represented. As we worshiped and prayed with one another, it became abundantly clear there is only one name to proclaim: Jesus.

Jesus is the one who brings us all together, and He is the one who holds us all together.

"Wonderful grace of Jesus, Greater than all my sin; How shall my tongue describe it, Where shall its praise begin?
Taking away my burden, Setting my spirit free; For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.

Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus, Deeper than the mighty rolling sea;
Wonderful grace, all sufficient for me, for even me. Broader than the scope of my transgressions,
Greater far than all my sin and shame, O magnify the precious Name of Jesus. Praise His Name!

Wonderful grace of Jesus, Reaching to all the lost, By it I have been pardoned,
Saved to the uttermost, Chains have been torn asunder, Giving me liberty;
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.

Wonderful grace of Jesus, Reaching the most defiled, By its transforming power,
Making him God’s dear child, Purchasing peace and heaven, For all eternity;
And the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.” H. Lillenas 1918

By Grace, we love Jesus, one another, and the people of Hong Kong

Grace - God's New Society - Part 1 - The Miracle of Grace

In the months ahead we will be looking at how God can shape our hearts and lives towards what matters most. We are a church blessed with diversity and multiple cultures, but in Christ we are one family of faith, growing in grace and love for one another. Our church is blessed with diversity and multiple cultures. We come from many backgrounds, speak multiple languages, work in various areas of Hong Kong, but we find ourselves here… at this church, in this community and our love for Jesus is what holds us together.

The letter written to the church at Ephesus is a powerful and authoritative reminder of what God has done for us, and how we are His people.

Stories with Luke - Part 7 - The Kingdom of God

The Kingdom of God is the rallying cry of Luke. It is the present reality through the coming of Jesus. It is the future hope for all who believe in Him. It has come already in secrecy and humility like a carpenter riding a donkey. It will come suddenly and with great power like the King of Kings riding a white horse.

What should we do when faced with the awesome prospect of the Kingdom of God? Step 1: We pray, Step 2: We pray, Step 3…you get the idea.

Jesus tells a story of a woman who repeatedly asks for justice from a corrupt judge. This Sunday we will remember this story and how it should shape our lives today.

Stories with Luke - Part 4 - The Pharisee and the Tax Collector

During his life on the earth, Jesus told many parables. As we’re discovering, Jesus parables communicated an essential truth. This Sunday, we will look at one of Jesus’ more perplexing parables – The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector. Here Jesus calls a seemingly holy man, in a holy place, doing a holy thing – praying – unholy. In this parable, Jesus explains how we can be truly righteous.

Stories with Luke - Part 3 - The Parable of the Compassionate Father

“There was a man who had two sons…” In Luke 15 we read one Jesus’ most well-known parables. It is a story of betrayal, repentance and compassion. And like all biblical stories, Luke’s stories, are not simply a delivery system for ideas. Instead, the story creates a world and then invites us to live in that world, to take it on as part of ourselves.
