Living Grace Ministry

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. We are to pray in all circumstances as it expresses our dependence and trust i God. Prayer is a powerful tool for reconciliation and healing, but we sometimes forget that and we forget to use this powerful tool we’ve been given. 

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. We always hear that patience is a virtue. But for what purpose God is doing something in us by our learning and experiencing patience. 

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. What is our life really worth? We make all kinds of plans and live for all kinds of things, but are they really things that are worthwhile? We can live a life for God full of purpose and meaning. 

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. We are double-minded people. We know what we should do in God, but then there’s what we really want to do. We live in a world that encourages us to do what we want, what feels good in the moment. God offers us grace to learn true freedom in submission. 

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. God’s wisdom is not a matter of boasting, it speaks for itself. This wisdom comes from above, we cannot get it or earn it on our own, but its purpose is for living here below. 

Message from Kevin Hong. Our tongues can be really nasty tools of destruction. But the core issue is not in the cleaning of the tongue itself. It is to cleanse and renew the source of which our tongues breathe: our souls. (James 3:1-12) 

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Here are “holes” in our love, or maybe it’s more that it’s in parts. This is what partiality is — inconsistent love. God wants to teach us how to bring all the parts together to make us whole! 

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. We are meant to be “right” (righteous) as God is. But are we more concerned with feeling that we are ALREADY right rather than BECOMING right people? God wants us to make room for his word to make us RIGHTeous in how we actually treat others around us. 

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Learning to be steadfast in the trials of life makes us complete, lacking nothing! It is a kind of super power to know the absolute goodness of God no matter your circumstance. (Sorry for the mic not working from 33:25 to the end) 

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. The resurrection represents a different reality that we can live into and experience, a life without fear, a life of love and bold proclamation of the gospel. 

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Jesus died for us, but he also told us to take up our cross too, to die to self, to experience death before resurrection. The cross is our most defining symbol for good reason; it is necessary! 

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. We don’t like to acknowledge the truth that we are weaker than we think or present. We are not able to live for God as we say we will. Our weakness is true strength if we can learn the power of acceptance and surrender. 

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Amidst betrayal, Jesus shares a meal with his betrayers and those who would very soon fail him. More than just sharing bread and wine, he gave himself for us. Gratitude and giving are paired together perfectly in a meal for all of us to remember and live out every day. 

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. What do we have to give to God? The woman in this passage gives a costly offering that others criticize. Jesus calls it a beautiful thing, this gift done out of love. We can also offer God what we can, our own beautiful things. 

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. We live our lives as if were asleep or unconscious way too often. We miss God and the beautiful moments He is sending us. We need to learn to be awake and stay awake! 

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. Jesus foretells some dark times for the disciples. It is not unexpected when we go through suffering, but he also warns us not to look for false saviors. Desolation comes before the coming of the Lord. 

Message from Pastor Steve Khang. The two commands that trump everything else are about the same thing: love. The other things we make Christianity about are usually in sharp contrast to love. Love is the greatest. God wants us to receive his gift of love, to love ourselves. God, and everyone within our reach.
