Community Church HK Podcast

Happiness is gratitude in action. In Luke 17, only one man returned to thank Jesus, and in that moment his joy was complete. Gratitude turns healing into worship, and blessing into joy. This week, let’s practise slowing down to thank Him—not just in our hearts, but with our voices and actions. If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME! We would love to get to know you. Please fill in the followi...

Happiness isn’t found in money, power, pleasure, or prestige—it’s found in God alone. Jesus reminds us: “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” — Matthew 6:21 (NIV) The world tells us to measure happiness by what we own, achieve, or enjoy. But those things fade. God calls us to set our hearts on Him, the One who never fails, the wellspring of lasting joy and peace. When our tr...

Happiness is not found in the noise of the world, but in the quiet strength of family and the bond with true friends. In good times they celebrate with us, and in hard times they hold us up. As Proverbs 17:17 reminds us: "A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.” Let’s be intentional in treasuring our relationships, standing by the people who stand by us. That is...

Work in Hong Kong can feel overwhelming—long hours, crowded commutes, constant pressure. Yet from the very beginning, God showed us that work was meant to be meaningful, not draining. Genesis 2:15 says, “The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.” Work was part of God’s good design—a way to bring life, nurture, and joy. True happiness isn’t just abo...

Happiness is so much deeper than just a fleeting feeling—it’s a fullness of life that goes beyond what circumstances can take away. Jesus said, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” (John 10:10 NIV) While challenges and uncertainties can dim our mood, remember that the life He offers is unshakeable—a wholeness no busy sc...

Doubting? In a city like Hong Kong, with so much change and uncertainty all around, questions are only natural. Jude 22 says, “Be merciful to those who doubt…” Let’s create space for honest conversations, gentle compassion, and faith that welcomes questions. Mercy is a gift we can give each other—especially in seasons of doubt. If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME! We would love to get to k...

In ancient times, the city gate was the place where justice was done, decisions made, and strangers welcomed or turned away. Today, our “gates” are less visible but just as real: the doorways of our workplaces, our communities, and even the screens where we decide whether to scroll past or stop and listen. Proverbs 21:3 (ESV) teaches us, “To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the L...

In a city that never stops moving, His call is simple: “Come and see.” Amid changing headlines and daily rush, Jesus invites you into hope, purpose, and connection. Whether you’re facing new beginnings or uncertainties, His invitation stands. Will you come and see what He has in store for you? Join us as we hear from guest...

Our city is bustling, and sometimes the noise of all that is happening can drown out what our souls really crave: meaning, peace, and hope. In times of uncertainty and change, let’s pause to remember that true satisfaction is found not just in what we achieve, but in drawing close to God. Join us today as we seek what truly sustains us. If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME! We would love to...

Amidst Hong Kong's summer festivals, bustling events, city celebrations, and sometimes random weather, finding a quiet moment feels rare. Yet in the midst of all the noise, God invites us to a sacred pause. When the world feels overwhelming, take time to sit in quiet. God meets us there. Join us this Sunday as we explore the power of silence together. If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME! W...

“From Broken to Beloved" explores the transformative power of family & community in restoring identity and hope for the fatherless. God desires that every child, no matter how broken, would know fully well that they are beloved, “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14). Join us this Sunday to discover your part in His redemptive work to bring healing, hope, and generational impact to th...

When we let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts, we discover the true power of team—unity, strength, and gratitude. In a city as vibrant and ever-changing as Hong Kong, we’re reminded that together, as one body, we can face any challenge and shine even brighter. Let’s stay ignited, support one another, and be thankful for the gift of community! If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME! We wo...

In a city as diverse as ours, it’s sometimes difficult to accept difference, especially in challenging times. But God calls us to something greater as, in Romans 12:18, He says, “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” This week, let’s be ignited to break down barriers—whether in our neighborhoods or workplaces and remember that every act of kindness, every ef...

In a city as vibrant and diverse as Hong Kong, we’re reminded daily of the beauty and challenge of inclusion. As we reflect on Acts 15:19, we see a powerful call: to tear down the barriers—visible and invisible—that keep people from experiencing the fullness of God’s love. Hong Kong’s story is one of many cultures, faiths, and journeys coming together; and it is a reminder that real inclusion mean...

When ambition and pressure run high, it’s easy to chase after success, recognition, and security—especially when so much feels uncertain. But in these times, we’re reminded that true strength isn’t always found in pushing forward at all costs. Jesus calls us not just to hustle for the world’s rewards, but to pause and ask: What is the cost of winning everything if we lose ourselves in the process?...

Sometimes, the hardest chains to break are the ones we don’t even see—the traditions and mindsets passed down to us. But in Acts 10:28b, we’re reminded: “But God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean.” In a world where divisions often feel sharper than ever—whether in our city’s debates, our workplaces, or even at the dinner table—God calls us to see each person with new eye...

In a city that never stands still, transformation is in our DNA. As Acts 9:31 reminds us: “Living in the fear of the Lord and encouraged by the Holy Spirit, [the community] increased in numbers.” Just as the early church grew stronger through reverent awe and the Spirit’s encouragement, we too are called to walk in both fear of the Lord—a posture of deep respect and awe for God’s greatness—and the...

In a city as vibrant and ever-changing as Hong Kong, we’re reminded that true joy is found when hearts are ignited by hope and purpose. Just as Philip brought healing and good news to Samaria, sparking joy across the city, we too can bring light and transformation wherever we go. When we move forward together, our city shines even brighter; so, let’s be the spark that brings joy to Hong Kong! If y...

In John 14:26, Jesus promised, ‘But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.' No matter where we are the Holy Spirit is our constant companion, our Advocate and Helper. He empowers us to understand God’s truth, comforts us in uncertainty, and reminds us of Christ’s love and wisdom in every s...

As we head to retreat from the busy heart of Hong Kong this weekend, we are reminded of how easy it is to rush past those in need—just like the priest and Levite in Jesus’ story. But the Good Samaritan reminds us what it truly means to love our neighbor: to notice, to stop, and to care, even when it’s inconvenient or unexpected. Making room for others means more than giving up a seat on the MTR; i...

As the sun rises over Victoria Harbour this Resurrection Sunday, we will be gathering at the Central Ferry Pier No. 3 for a sunrise service to be reminded that hope is alive, even in uncertain times. Just as Jesus’ empty tomb signaled a new beginning, today we celebrate fresh starts and renewed faith across our city. The true heart of Easter is in the promise that life and love conquer all darknes...

In a city that never sleeps, where skyscrapers touch the heavens and life moves at lightning speed, let us pause and reflect on the eternal King who reigns above it all. Just as the disciples rejoiced in witnessing His mighty works, we too can celebrate His faithfulness in our lives today. As we gather on this Palm Sunday, let us reflect on Luke 19:37, which says, "His disciples began to rejoice a...

Have you ever felt the call to follow, even when the path ahead seems uncertain? In John 21:19, Jesus calls Peter to follow Him, knowing it would lead to challenges, sacrifice, and ultimately glorifying God. This same call echoes to us today in Hong Kong—a city bustling with opportunities yet grappling with its own trials. As we navigate life’s uncertainties—whether through societal changes, perso...

This Sunday, join us as we consider how our faith is one that breaks barriers. Barriers can often define our lives, but faith has the power to break through. From the bustling streets of Mong Kok to the serene hills of Lantau, we're called to be prophets of hope and agents of change. Let us, together, have our faith inspire action and bring light to dark places. Just as Jesus broke barriers in his...
