“You must learn how to live by faith” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
The most important attitude that the gospel requires of us is to draw near to God. Since we cannot do it by our own strength, the Bible calls this act of coming to God for grace faith. The outward expression of this faith is earnestly seeking God, while the inner essence of faith is having […]
“The Meaning of the Authority to Forgive Sins” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
“But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins…” (Luke 5:24) When a group of friends brought a paralyzed man to Jesus to be healed, they found the house so crowded that they couldn’t get in. So, they lifted the man’s bed up to the roof, tore […]
“45 deacons” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
Today, our church will ordain deacons during the service. The title might be unfamiliar, but an “ordained deacon” is a permanent deacon who has been ordained through the vote of the male members of the church, while an “associate deacon” is a deacon who is appointed by the church as deemed appropriate. The title “collaborative […]
“God’s work: Vision, Mission, and Goal” – Anil Jung Thapa (English Cell)
I am Anil Jung Thapa, a Nepali Christian, and I serve voluntarily as an elder at the Nepali Christian Community Church in Hounslow and as a youth coordinator in the UK. I am grateful to Pastor Lee and the leadership team for the opportunity to share my vision with you. I was born into a […]
“Introducing our pastors” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
Until our congregation reached 300, I was the only pastor. This was possible because our cell leaders and ministry team leaders worked hard for our church, and because my children were the only Sunday school students. Then, as the number of families in the church increased, the number of Sunday school departments increased, with each […]
“Worship with prayer” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
As we welcome the new year, it’s natural to make many resolutions, but the most important one should be worship. Worship reflects our attitude toward God. The reason we participate in church services to worship isn’t because someone we like is there, it isn’t because of the music, and it isn’t because of the beneficial […]
“Reading the Bible again in the New Year” – David Pang (Woo Sung & Ga-in Cell)
“The word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” (Psalm 119:105) At the beginning of each year, I always make several resolutions. One of them is to sign up to a gym and dedicate time to improving my neglected health. Of course, to keep this resolution to the end requires […]
“Rather than saying you’re busy” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
When I look back on the year, there are so many things to be thankful for from God. When I look at myself, I only think of my infinite shortcomings. Of my five children, my second daughter went to Korea for work this July, so the number of children decreased by two, but I still […]
“Getting ready for Christmas” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
There are many religions in the world, and there are people who created them. Who made Buddhism? A man named Gautama Siddhartha-Buddha Buddha. What about Islam? Muhammad. Although they are both teachers and visionaries, they are not saviours This is because they only taught people how we should live but they did not or could […]
“A Unique Community” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
Our God’s Vision Church is truly a unique community. Like most Korean churches, we don’t have a building of our own, so we cannot spend much time together. In the case of the Central GVC, since people’s homes are far from the church, we have to use nearby cafes for our cell group meetings after […]
