Scripture Passage Zephanaiah 3:14-20 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script Joy Joy is one of the most important qualities that make our life meaningful and worth living. Life is to be enjoyed. How else do you live your life? If there is no joy in life, why do we live? You don't want to just sustain your life, you want to live fully tasting and enjoy the treasure of your life. We may not be abl...

Scripture Passage Malachi 3:1-4 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script Faithfulness Today I would like to reflect on faithfulness. Faithfulness is a way of life, and it is the best way to live.

Scripture Passage 1 Thessalonians 3:9-13 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script Early Christians I am very curious about what the early Christians were like. What did they feel? What really opened their eyes to see their life in a radically new way? What did they discover that they didn't know before? What gave them the strength to go on in spite of all those persecutions? For example, what cha...

Scripture Passage 2 Samuel 23:1-7 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script Leadership Leadership is very important in our lives. It doesn't matter what we do, we are all leaders.

We also need leaders...

Scripture Passage Hebrews 10:19-25 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script Worship I want to talk about worship today. Worship is the most important thing for Christians.

Scripture Passage 1 Kings 17:8-16 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script Helping Others I believe that people want to help others. It's how we're wired. Helping others connects us with others, gives us purpose, meaning and joy. Helping others is a beautiful part of being human. We see this in children. Children are very eager to help out. My son was telling me this week how he and a few other s...

Scripture Passage Isaiah 43:16-21 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script Anniversary! Today is the 25th Anniversary of this church. God has been good as I look back.

Scripture Passage Mark 10:46-52 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script A Doorway to Faith Desperation! That is a doorway to faith. No one can come to faith through intellectual reasoning. Faith is not something you choose or conclude as a result of your intellectual exploration. Unless we have a desperate need, faith is hard to come by. So, when everything is going all right, faith is pretty ha...

Scripture Passage Job 38:1-7 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script Job, a Man of Suffering We all know about Job and heard about him. We remember him as a man of suffering.

This was what God said, The Lord said to Satan, Have you considered my servan...

Scripture Passage Job 1:1, 2:1-10 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script Why Do We Suffer? Suffering is a reality of life. That is the truth of life that Buddhists recognize. People either live with suffering, or they live in fear of suffering. That is the truth that Satan in today's passage recognized. He saw this truth about people: All that people have they will give to save their lives. (Jo...

Scripture Passage James 1:22-27 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script Conflicting Desires  We struggle with double mindedness. We have two sides: one positive and the other negative. Sometimes our positive side can be also our negative side. We have a bright side and a dark side. Within us, we have these TWO CONFLICTING DESIRES. We want to be good for others and live more wholesome life. We wa...

Scripture Passage Ephesians 6:10-20 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script Strength We have to be strong to survive. We have to be strong to deal with challenges of life.

Depression and Struggles There are times when we feel really tired. Not just physically but emotionally and spiritually. We feel tired about life. We lose appetite for everything. Lack of motivation. Lack of desire. Nothing makes us happy and satisfied. We get easily angered. We feel all alone. When we feel like this, we don’t know what to do. There is nothing that we can do. We feel helpless and...

Scripture Passage Mark 6:14-29 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script Power What is the most important power that we should have? I asked myself this question. What is the most important power that I need? What is the power that makes my life happy and meaningful. What is the power that I need to follow Jesus? My conclusion is that I need the power that CAN DEFEAT MY FEAR. We need the power tha...

Scripture Passage Mark 4:26-34 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script The Key Jesus gave us a wonderful parable. The kingdom of God is as if someone would scatter seed on the  ground, and would sleep and rise night and day, and the seed would  sprout and grow, he does not know how . (Mark 4:26, 27) He does not know how. This phrase strikes me. It inspires me. It gives me a sense of freedom. I d...

Scripture Passage John 15:9-17 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script Love Today is Mother's Day. At our church, we celebrate it as Parents Day. The first word that comes to my mind when I think about mothers or parents is LOVE. We all received tremendous love from them. We thank them for their love, their sacrifice, and their many tears for us. They took care of us. They prayed for us and they...

Scripture Passage John 12:20-33 Sermon Video Sermon Audio   Sermon Script Suffering is Part of Existence Suffering or pain is not something that we can choose or not to choose. Is it? We don't have an option on this matter. Suffering is a very much part of our existence. Suffering and pain will always be there. I am not talking about a huge, dramatic suffering. I am talking about what we experienc...

Scripture Passage Genesis 9:8-17 Worship Video Worship Audio   Sermon Script After the Flood What we see in today's Scripture is God's aching heart. God felt so bad after the flood. Aching heart comes from love. Where there is no love, there is no suffering. We suffer because we love. We become desperate because we love. What we see in today's passage is God's pain and his anguish. Who am I that G...
