“I had a good trip to the U.S.” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
I recently led a 2-night, 3-day retreat for the “WorshipLife” Young Adults Ministry at Bethel Church in Irvine, California, followed by delivering sermons for all four Sunday services. Coming off a similar experience in Germany last month, I was once again blessed to witness God’s abundant grace. Despite the physical exhaustion from the 10-hour time […]
“About Humility” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
When we think of humility, we imagine someone lowering themselves before others, staying in the background, and not boasting about what they have. While humility involves not putting oneself first, it does not mean acting passively. The best explanation of humility is found in Philippians 2. The church in Philippi was the one of the […]
“A World Full of Grace” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
There are two main perspectives on how to view the world. The first is a retributive perspective which values working hard and doing one’s best. Just as it is said in the Bible, ‘You will reap what you sow,’ God has certainly given people free will. This means that the results of our lives are […]
“Welcoming Efem Buckle” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
The London City Mission (LCM) was started in Hoxton, east London, by David Nasmith on May 16, 1835. Its early work centered on the poor and needy, and it carried out extensive charity work, including in so-called ‘Ragged Schools’, and ministries for workers. One missionary walked 3,000 miles from London and made 1,300 visits, including […]
“Are you reading the Bible diligently?” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
They say that there are hundreds of billions, or even trillions, of planets like Earth in the universe. It is truly astonishing to think that God created the vast universe and all those planets by His Word. It is beyond comprehension that this great God sent His own Son to Earth, a tiny speck in […]
“My trip to Germany” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
From 3rd October (Thu) to 5th October (Sun), I delivered the word of God five times at the youth retreat of Hanmaum Church, Frankfurt, Germany and finally at their Sunday service. I shared the famous ‘Sermon on the Mount’ from Matthew 5-7 within the six sermons. Although I had prepared the main points to deliver […]
“God’s Grace Encountered in Weakness” – Pastor Juyoung Park
With the start of the new school semester, I’ve been visiting the middle and high school students after they finish school. I’m not a particularly eloquent person, so I always worry about what to talk about when meeting the kids, and because of that, I think I’ve prayed more. But God always brings unexpected moments […]
“The Foundation for Our Recovery” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
“Therefore, say to the house of Israel, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: It is not for your sake, people of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone. I will show the holiness […]
“Heaven: 100 questions, 1 answer” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever. Give thanks to the God of gods, for his steadfast love endures forever. Give thanks to the Lord of lords, for his steadfast love endures forever; to him who alone does great wonders, for his steadfast love endures forever; to […]
“About Repentance” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
Recently God has taught me a lot about repentance; repentance should be positive and active. What it means to be positive is to have hope that when you repent, you will be restored. Similarly to repentance, regret also allows one to reflect on wrong doings and have a heart not to do it again. However, […]
