Christmas is fast approaching. Christmas is all about Christ’s birth. Behind the birth story, we see the love of God who sent His Son Jesus for the forgiveness of our sins. Pastor Choi explains three aspects of forgiveness: 1. Forgiveness is reciprocal. 2. Forgiveness is divine. 3. Forgiveness is about initiative.
Pastor Choi talks about contentment and shares its secret: 1. Make Christ as your ultimate goal, not contentment itself. 2. The secret does lie in God, not in yourself. 3. Trust in God’s good will in all circumstances.
Based on the story of Luke 21:1-4, Pastor Choi talks about aspects of giving: Giving is to the Lord, Giving is a matter of priority and heart, Give cheerfully and sacrificially. At the end of the sermon, he presents a divine challenge to all believers in Christ: Tithing (Malachi 3:10).
Today Pastor Choi walks the congregation through Paul’s letter to the Corinthian believers regarding the practice of the Lord’s Supper. He reminds of the congregation to examine themselves against the Word of God before they partake in the Communion. Well taken with clear conscience, the Communion can bring strength, health, and life to the partakers.
