Community Church HK Podcast

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...

Sometimes, the most profound faith comes from unexpected places. In Luke 7:9, Jesus marvels at a Roman centurion's faith, saying, "I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.” This reminds us that true faith isn't about outward appearances or cultural backgrounds: it's about trust, humility, and recognising a higher authority. As we navigate the bustling streets of Hong Kong, let...

In Luke 1:68-71, we read, "Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come to his people and redeemed them." This promise of redemption is a reminder that our faith is not just about words, but about living out the Good News in our daily lives. Let us remember that true joy and freedom come from knowing God's love and redemption. If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME! We would...

Let's reflect on what truly drives us forward this weekend. 1 John 4:18 reminds us, "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love." In a city where resilience and determination are celebrated, let's not forget the power of love. Perfect love isn't about avoiding challenges or fears; it's about faci...

This Sunday, we will reflect on the importance of family and legacy and recall the wise words from Matthew 6:21 (NIV): "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." It is important not to forget the true treasures that make our lives richer—our families and the values we pass down. Let us invest our hearts in what truly matters. If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME! We would...

As we continue to celebrate the new year, let's not forget the true blessings that bring us together: our families and our faith. In 2 Corinthians 5:17, we're reminded: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” This verse inspires us to see our families as a new creation, where love and grace are passed down through generations. Just as Hong...

In a society where traditional values meet modern challenges, it's crucial to reflect on our generational legacies. The verse from 2 Corinthians 10:5 reminds us: "We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." In Hong Kong, where family structures are evolving and societal expectations a...

Happy Lunar New Year friends! We hope you are having a wonderful time this week. As we look towards Sunday, let us be reminded of Hosea 6:6, which says, "For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings." In this new year, let us continue to prioritize compassion over convenience, understanding over judgment, and togetherness over isolation. If you are new t...

In lives filled with challenges, the essence of family and faith shines brighter than ever. As we reflect on the story of Abraham, we learn of how his powerful act of faith teaches us that true worship is not just about songs and prayers but also about our willingness to give back to God what is most precious to us. Let us embrace this calling to worship through our actions and generosity, knowing...

In a world where we often feel the weight of expectations, it's essential to remember the power of love and equality within our families—especially in the church family. This Sunday, we will reflect on the concept of favoritism by meditating on the verse from James 2:8 reminds us: “If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, ‘Love your neighbour as yourself,’ you are doing right.” Let’s e...

In this second week of the new year, let’s reflect on what truly matters by remembering the words from Luke 9:25: "What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self?” In Hong Kong, where the pace of life is fast and the pressures are high, it's easy to get caught up in the hustle. But as we embrace 2025, let’s commit to nurturing our family bonds and inst...

As we step into this new year, let’s remember the power of grace in our families and communities. In a time when challenges seem to abound, the promise from 2 Corinthians 12:9 reminds us that "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." As we move forward together, we can embrace each moment with compassion and understanding. Let’s extend grace to one another, recogn...
