The name Zacchaeus appears in Luke 19, and it means "innocent." You know one of the most famous Shakespearean sayings: What`s in a name? There are a lot of people with holy names who don`t know the meaning of their names. Zacchaeus` name meant "innocent" but he was a chief tax collector, which meant that he loved money. So, a lot of believers live self-contradicting lives in this way.
We should think about our names, what they mean, and try to live up to that. Elijah means "My Lord is God," Michael means "Who is like God?", Samuel means "God has heard," and Joseph means "The Lord will add or increase." So, especially if your name has the element "Ye" or "El" (meaning Lord or God), you should think about what your name means, and whether you live up to the meaning of your name.

The first time I saw the Grand Canyon, I was shocked because I thought I had seen it before. But seeing it in person made me realize I had only seen photos of it before. Seeing firsthand, versus seeing it in pictures, is completely different.
Experiencing for yourself is so important. How do you know that miracles are real? You can know not by reading about them, but by experiencing them for yourself firsthand through prayer.
What are miracles for? Not just to heal, but so that we may know that "the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” (Matt. 9:6). When we pray and people are healed, then they will know that Jesus is the Son of God. And no matter the outcome, when we pray for people, then through our care they will come to know the love of Jesus Christ.
So, if you don`t know how real miracles are, it is because you haven`t really tried to pray for someone with love and care. You need to experience that firsthand yourself, then you will know how real miracles are.
We need to be a church that is full of prayer, miracles, and healing, so that people may know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God through our prayers.

The more that society becomes modernized, the more we want to establish how valuable human beings are. But ironically, since modern society is growing further away from God, our value is rapidly being undermined. We cannot establish man`s value apart from God. Objectively speaking, our value is really nothing apart from God. But he has restored our great value by sending his one and only son Jesus Christ to this earth. And Jesus paid the immense price of his precious blood to redeem us from our sins. When we accept Jesus as our savior, we can recover our great value. When we accept Jesus, we become the apple of God`s eye once again.

You may know Jesus` parable about the man who asked his friend for bread at midnight because he had another friend visiting and had nothing to give him (Luke 11:5-11). Even though it was rude and totally inappropriate, he audaciously woke his friend at midnight to get some bread. We need to have that kind of shameless audacity when it comes to asking God. This boldness in asking is the heart of love. The foundation of our power doesn`t come from our own strength but from asking God. The more difficult our lives are, the more fervently we need to ask for help from God. In other words, we really need to pray sincerely, not for ourselves, but so that we can have something to give to our friends and even to strangers in need. The purpose for which we are asking is important. We need to always remind ourselves of this purpose: to help the brothers and sisters who are in need. This is the heart of love. The reason we love is because we have first received love from Jesus. So, we are simply giving out the same love that we have already received.

What`s most important is that the Bible speaks to your heart and soul. That is what we are testifying to people. Not some esoteric or nerdy facts about the Bible. But the fact that I read it and received a lot of grace. So, what we must tell people is: "When you read it, the Bible will speak to you also." That is what we need to testify from our hearts. That is the most important and powerful fact in the universe. The fact that "I received grace" when I read it. No other explanation is needed.

Fear of making a mistake often paralyzes us, so that we can`t even take one step forward. But believing in Jesus should give us courage and boldness to "go forward." Whatever we do, God will work through us to open something greater, even if we make mistakes. God will even turn our setbacks into victory if we go persistently to the end. That`s the kind of faith we need to have. As Apostle Paul said in Romans 8:28, all things work for the good of those who love God. So, I wish we wouldn`t get stuck because of "fear of failure" but instead let`s always be thinking about how to "move forward."

Apostle Paul declared that he was not ashamed of the Gospel (Rom. 1:16). Because many people ridiculed the preachers of the Gospel. But Apostle Paul insisted that Jesus Christ, crucified on the Cross, was and is the only way to salvation. Therefore, he was proud of Jesus, proud of the Cross, and proud of the Gospel.
Many youth struggle with low self-esteem. But the one who can heal our self-esteem is Jesus Christ. Instead of having the false self-esteem based on myself and what I have accomplished, we can build a new self-esteem based on what Jesus Christ did for us on the Cross.
How good is it to build our self-esteem on the love of Jesus? His love never fails. He even died on the Cross to save us from our sins. Therefore, we can always hold our heads up high when we put our faith in Jesus. That`s why we should always be proud of Jesus, proud of the Cross, and proud of the Gospel.

Remembering those who served, and honoring the brave men and women who are serving now. Enjoying the freedom that comes through sacrifice. We hope that everyone had a safe and meaningful Memorial Day with friends and family.

It is easy for people (especially intellectual people) to let the gospel be just an idea in our minds, instead of letting it become a concrete change in our lives. How can we implement the gospel into our life? How can we put the gospel into practice into my life? Daily, this is what we struggle to do. Apostle Paul and Apollos probably thought ‘how can we better communicate the gospel and teach and nurture people so that they can understand and be changed?’
Apostle Paul was that type of person where he never met someone he didn’t want to evangelize, even if it was the king. He evangelized very great and influential people. There are so many things to do if you think about it. How can I unfold the gospel into my life more every single day? This is how we should live, and this is what we should think about.

All of us are sinners. Bible.org explains it this way: if one person goes into a deep valley, and another person stands on a high mountain peak, they are both still very far from the moon. There really is no difference. In other words, we all fall short of God`s glory (Romans 3:23). There`s a funny saying in another culture, in which they call the middle of nowhere "the place close to the moon." But in fact we are all far from the moon, far from the sun, and far from God`s glory. We are all "missing the mark." We are all sinners.
Today`s world asks why we call something "sin." Society brazenly questions the traditional morality and ethics of the Bible. The late pastor Tim Keller described it this way: people nowadays pretend to be "nonjudgmental" while imposing their own personal moral beliefs on others -- but this is highly self-contradictory. This hypocrisy in modern thinking demonstrates that where an absolute reference point doesn’t exist, then all moral beliefs become equally invalid.
Moral beliefs are only valid because God exists. People ask, why do you call something "sin" and treat it as bad? Sin is bad because it separates us from God, contradicts God`s will, and also undermines human flourishing. That`s why Apostle Paul described sin as "ungodliness AND unrighteousness." When we lose God, then all decency and standards break down.
Ultimately, this is why we need Jesus. Because we are all sinners who are far away from God and are headed toward destruction -- but Jesus died in order to reconcile us to God. I hope that we could remember how serious sin is, and therefore how important it is to believe in Jesus. Only Jesus Christ can save us from our sins.

Hope everyone enjoyed Pentecost Sunday 2024! We spent the day together studying the book of Acts, focusing on the work of the Holy Spirit in the early church. We studied Peter`s sermon at Pentecost and the co-work of Peter and John, as well as the evangelization of Cornelius. May we all experience the same miracles daily as we live out our testimony for our Lord Jesus Christ!

We recently did evangelism outreach at the @figat7th shopping center in @downtown_la DTLA. Met a lot of fun people and also got ideas for next time. Hoping to add music as an accompaniment in the future. Gave out all our flyers 👏.

We are only managers, therefore our life on earth is so limited. Time passes by so quickly. I`m always nervous when I meet people who are very old, because I can`t help wondering whether it is the last time we will meet. I hold their hand very tightly and don`t let go. Our life passes by so quickly. In that sense, life is profoundly tragic. You will have some good times, you will experience sorrows, and then you will die and be forgotten. Life is extremely tragic like this.
That is, unless there is heaven. In that sense, the hope for heaven is truly important. If we have the hope for heaven, then we get to see our loved ones again someday, what we did on this earth will be remembered, and the Lord will prepare a beautiful existence for us in heaven after we die. But without heaven, our life is an unmitigated tragedy. Therefore, we must hold on to the hope for heaven as we live.

We invite you to our Pentecost Sunday worship and retreat!
As we live, we should hold onto one thing. That there is someone who died for me. We should remember this every day. Because Jesus died for my sins, that is why my life has meaning and value. Remember every single day: there is someone who died for me.

When you live by the law alone, it seems like it would be good… but then you fall into self-loathing soon, because you can never live up to God’s standard, and you begin to realize your sins eventually very deeply. The only way to be freed from this burden is by the gospel of grace, which is the life of Jesus Christ.

How should we preach the gospel? Not with nice and sweet words only, but we should preach the gospel in all its glory, in both condemnation of sin and the message of salvation altogether. The gospel contains grace but it does not compromise with sin at all. That is the awesomeness of the gospel, you would think that with grace you would need to compromise and relax regarding sin but the gospel has both grace and does not compromise with sin, it contains both balance and harmony.

Apostle Paul`s testimony was powerful and shook people`s hearts because, first of all, his own heart was trembling with grace. In that sense, Apostle Paul said that God`s righteousness is ‘from faith to faith.’ That`s what evangelism is -- your faith transfers to others. So, if you want to share Jesus` grace powerfully, your own heart needs to be trembling with grace first.

God`s Word stands forever. When persecution ceases then the Word of God spreads tremendously. In that sense, crisis is an opportunity, because it means the time of revival is coming soon. In the midst of hardship, what we need to do is prepare for the time of revival when God`s Word will spread rapidly.

The fact that we can sit down in peace with one another is really amazing. How hard is it for people in the world to sit down together in peace and fellowship? People may have to get drunk to do so. In Jesus we can have sober fellowship with one another because we are drunk in the Holy Spirit all the time. We should realize how thankful it is to be able to have fellowship in Christ and have communion of the saints. The communion of saints in the Apostles Creed is very amazing. It`s extraordinary and not mundane. Amen.

Forgiven sinners are people who took the road less traveled. Just like Jesus said in Matthew 7:13-14, the gate is narrow and road is hard that leads to life, and few find it. Don`t just follow the crowd on the broad way toward sin and destruction. Instead, believe Jesus who said to follow the less-traveled path that leads to eternal life in Christ.

Because human beings are sinners who are rotten inside, it`s hard to embrace everyday people. But Christians are the people who embrace sinners. That`s what we do, because that`s what Jesus Christ did for us. Churches should welcome sinners, in Jesus` name, to come and change through the Gospel. In other words, church is a gathering place for forgiven sinners. One church came up with this slogan: "No perfect people allowed." It`s another way of saying, "We don`t consider ourselves perfect." It means, "All of us are forgiven sinners, just like you."

This photo was meant to be posted on Church Instagram. Walked by the "Jesus Saves" sign on the way back from lunch, and we snapped a photo. The complementary colors of the outfit and sky make the sign pop even more. We hope to keep the spirit of this sign alive in Los Angeles through Pilgrim`s ministry!

What is the Gospel? As Jesus said to the Greeks, the Gospel means to fall into the earth like a grain of wheat and to die, so that we can bear much fruit. That is emptying and sacrificing. It means to invest into people extravagantly. I was reminded recently that "life is too short." We don`t have that many opportunities to show love to people while they are living. That`s why, when we do have an opportunity, we should seize that chance and invest into people`s lives extravagantly.

Originally, man should live by God`s revelational knowledge, then everything becomes easy. But because of the fall of man, we`ve lost this revelational connection. Now, because we have to think of everything ourselves, life is so tiresome. But God has such amazing ways, which we cannot imagine, if only we seek him. We especially have to be filled with the knowledge of the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Everything that we do and study is in order to understand his suffering and sacrifice better.

We shouldn`t call easy tasks "hard." Obviously, we should call easy tasks "easy." But as Christians, we shouldn`t call hard things "hard" either. Faith is to call the hard things "easy." Because it`s not me doing it! Christ is doing everything.

When we work by our own strength, we tend to become cowardly, because we are confined inside our severely limited capabilities. We don`t try anything, because we`re afraid to fail. But when we empty ourselves of all our power and rely only on God, then we can have courage to take on faithful challenges. Then we become bold and courageous.

Habakkuk was the awake prophet who concerned for and prayed for his generation. We should also become the awake prophets for today. We should concern for and pray for our generation like Habakkuk did. And let`s be the righteous ones who live by faith in Jesus Christ and his grace.

How can we love? Jesus said that if we abide in him, then we will bear "much" fruit. We can love when we`re attached to Jesus` love -- we need to understand the love of Jesus better through the Bible. The more that we are immersed in God`s Word, the more we can know Jesus` love and bear fruit. He is our vine, and we are his branches. So, let`s bear much fruit for Jesus!

What is God`s gift like? It`s always something unexpected. It`s always beyond what we deserve. That`s how we know it`s from God. His gift is always surprising, delightful, amazing, more than we deserve, and cannot be earned.

Beachside Sunday Service. The ocean is one of God’s most amazing creations. We enjoyed swimming and a picnic.
