Big problems we accept calmly, but small things make us upset. What kind of feeling is this? Brothers and sisters, have you ever been very angry about small things? For example, you say hello to someone, but it seems like the person ignores you. Or you send a message, but the person does not read

[John 5:1-15] 1 Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. 3 Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. 5 One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he

(An audio recording of the sermon will be uploaded here after the Sunday service.) Brothers and sisters, the month of March has arrived so quickly. Last month, I spoke about the day of the Lord. It is when Christ will return and execute righteous judgment on the whole world. I believe without a doubt that this day will come. Therefore, until that day comes, I hope to live with humility and gratitude, to worship God, and to be a light in this world. I shared this before, but: I have been starting each day with a prayer of thanks. As I wash the dishes and clean up after breakfast, I

Good morning! Let me begin by asking a question. Brothers and sisters! Do you think you are good at introducing people to others? Or do you usually not introduce people and not get introduced to others? Some people do not easily introduce someone to others. They also do not easily get introduced. They think, “If the person I introduce makes a problem, it becomes my fault.” If something bad happens, the relationship can become broken. So they choose not to introduce people from the beginning. To them, introducing someone is more than simply connecting two people. It’s like saying, “You can trust this person.” On the other hand, some people

Have you ever wondered things like, “Is the Holy Spirit actually a person or more like a spiritual force? Can we pray to the Holy Spirit? Should we worship him, along with God the Father and God the Son?” My sermon today is Part 5 in a series about the Nicene Creed and the Trinity. The Nicene Creed, first written in AD 325, contained only one sentence about the Holy Spirit. It simply said “We believe in the Holy Spirit,” and that was all. It was only

During my last sermon we read from 1 Corinthians 6:20, which says, “You were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.” My hope for this new year is to do all things for the glory of God. I want to start each day giving thanks to God. As I wash dishes in the morning, I thank him that I can move my hands and feet. As I continue moving around the house, I pray that I can live

↓Audio link to the sermon: (If you can’t listen on your iPhone, please update your iOS) Last month, we celebrated Christmas. In Malaysia, where I am from, the country is majority Muslim, yet Christmas is a public holiday—because Christians make up about ten percent of the population. In spite of that, some extremist Islamic politicians stir up controversy by telling Muslims not to wish Christians “Merry Christmas.” For them, saying “Merry Christmas” is to acknowledge the claims of Christianity. Islam honors Jesus as a great prophet, but it does not agree he is the Son of God or Savior. In Islam, Jesus is a great human teacher and definitely not
