“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 […]
“A sad week” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
Last Tuesday, I was emotionally very sensitive throughout the day. The dominant emotion was ‘sadness.’ While feelings like anxiety, confusion, or anger might have been more natural, I personally just felt sad. There was a time when, during the impeachment of President Park Geun-hye, the entire nation became immersed in politics, and I, too, was […]
“Ordinary, Not Extraordinary” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
When I was in college, I once imagined what Jesus might have looked like in real life. Would He resemble the portrayal in movies about Jesus? The kind of figure who, while walking, turns around to His disciples with a solemn expression and declares, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom […]
“Stepping down from my position as Chairman of the Association of Korean Churches in England” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
After the general meeting on Monday, I will be stepping down from my chairman position. With a busy life serving the church, missionary, as well as having to take care of my young children, I was reluctant to take the position initially. I felt I was not good enough to hold the important role but […]
“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 […]
