　(Voice messages will be posted after 1st worship.) 1. In January, we reflected on the words of Jesus Christ who came to our world as a man. During a time of testing, he said, “Man shall not live on bread alone.” Today we will continue reflecting on this passage. What did Jesus mean when he said, “Man shall not live on bread alone”? In my last message, we answered the question this way: “What people need to truly live is to know the purpose and meaning of life, to have hope about the afterlife, and to have a joyful, thankful, vibrant life—and these needs cannot be sustained by bread alone.”

　(Voice messages will be posted after 1st worship.) Today’s sermon is my 20th message on the book of Isaiah from the Old Testament. Last Sunday’s message was on Isaiah chapter 62, focusing on 62:2, which says, “You will be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will bestow.” Like Israel, those of us who are believers will be called by a new name.

Last time, I gave a message from Isaiah 58:11,「The Lord will guide you always; 」Chapter 58 reflects the formal way of worship at that time. The message of God’s condemnation toward hypocritical prayer and fasting is written. But now we are walking in faith in Jesus, who has accomplished the work of redemption on the cross. We gather here for worship every week and give our utmost gratitude to Jesus. There is no need for formal fasting anymore. We don’t
