“Church is really important”-Pastor Youngjoo Lee
“Spiritual growth takes place within a community. Just as physical life grows healthily from birth under the protection and care of parents, faith requires individual effort, but it grows healthily within relationships with believing brothers and sisters in the church—who can be called a spiritual family. There are people who have achieved success through their […]
“Proclaim Jesus whom you experience in your daily life” – Youngjoo Lee
Since beginning evangelism in London in 2012, I have met many different people and learnt that sharing the gospel is not simply about speaking well or persuading others. There were moments when conversations did not go the way I expected, when my words felt clumsy, and when I realised that no human effort can change […]
“Reflections on the Meditation Seminar” – Myungjoon Lee
God is guiding me to make this year a year of redefining my priorities in life. Rather than being spiritually filled after returning from the mission trip to India in June, it felt as if the areas of spiritual tension I had been holding onto were being released, and I felt I was in a […]
“Even meditation is something to be learned” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
This week, I led the third week of the third round of our Scripture Meditation Seminar. It looks as though around 20 people will complete the course. When we think of seminars, we usually imagine a lecture-based format. However, as I have become increasingly aware of the importance of small groups, I have structured this […]
“Reuniting with Nathan” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
One Sunday, after the worship service, a foreign young man from came to our newcomers’ area. He explained that he worked as a building manager in a multi-storey building opposite our church. Through the windows, he had often seen the bright, cheerful faces of the young people coming in and out of our church. Seeing […]
“Important principles of relationships” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
To know who God is, you must read His Word, the bible. His character is especially evident in the law that compiles the various regulations He commanded us to observe. In short, it is ‘love’, but from a relational perspective, it can be divided into ‘God’s love’ and ‘to love thy neighbour’. In other words, […]
“Authority is a shield” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
For a long time, God has taught me many things about authority, and those lessons have continued over the years. As our church has been built and shaped, this subject has remained an important part of that journey. Authority is also what connects the two great pillars of the law: loving God and loving our […]
“David’s Engagement Service”-Pastor Young Joo Lee
My relationship with David, who at that time had little faith, began not long after he started attending our church when he sent a text asking for a letter of recommendation for a short-term mission trip. His older sister recommended a training with a Korean mission organisation that she had completed also, and the trip […]
“Why Meditation is Important” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we found ourselves asking serious questions about what truly matters in life. I also spent time thinking deeply about what we should prioritise and prepare for in case we face another pandemic like this in the future. I came to the conclusion that if a pandemic prevents large groups of people […]
“It scares me that God is personal” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
Over the past few years, I have learned more and more just how deeply personal God is. Rather than forcing us, He has immense respect for the free will He has given us. He neither slumbers nor sleeps and is always at work for us, yet rather than making Himself conspicuous, He prefers to see […]
