Scripture Passage Mark 12:28-34 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script When I was in University, Mother Teresa once came to U of T to speak. It was outdoor and so many people came. Like Zacchaeus, I tried to go near to the front and so I could see her. With excitement, I was waiting for her. And finally she came out. She was small and her face was full of wrinkles. But she had a charisma. She came to the mic and she started speaking. All she said was, love God and love your neighbour....

Scripture Passage Matthew 6:25-33 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script Happy Thanksgiving! As soon as I walk into my house, I see this sign: Be Thankful! Whenever I come in, I see that and remind myself to be thankful. We often forget to be thankful. Being thankful is not a natural thing to do. We have to constantly remind ourselves. Be thankful because God takes care of you. No matter what you may go through, God will take care of you. No matter how big the challenges may be, ther...

But definitely he discovered the majestic world God created. And he saw the majestic power of God. I shared with you once. I used to take young ...

Scripture Passage James 5:13-20 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script The prayer of faith is powerful and effective. That's what I want to reflect on today. Today's passage begins with this sentence: Are any among you suffering? They should pray. (James 5:13) If you have the answers for your problems and challenges, then you don't need prayer. You can figure it out. But there are times when you can't figure it out. There are challenges that are beyond your capabilities. The prayer o...

Scripture Passage James 3:13-4:3, 7-8 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script Today's passage begins with this question: Who is wise and understanding among you? Everyone on the internet and social media has something wise to say. Everyone's an expert. But who is truly wise among us? The Scripture says this: Show by your good life that your works are done with gentleness born of wisdom. (James 3:13) A good life is rooted in wisdom. We need wisdom to live a good life. But the passage...

Scripture Passage James 3:1-12 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script Language is God's precious gift for human beings. Because we have language, we can communicate with each other. We can express our sorrow, our joy, our dreams, our appreciation, and our love. How wonderful it is to be able to do that. My sister came from Korea in August. She doesn't speak much English. My nephew Peter and Annie invited her for lunch. Annie's mother came out too. She doesn't speak English at all – On...

Scripture Passage James 2:1-10, 14-17 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script Faith is complete trust in God. It is your heart's loyalty to God and God alone. Faith begins when you recognize your need for God. Faith was a powerful presence in the lives of second generation Koreans because we needed God. We needed something the world wasn't giving – love, acceptance and a community. But as time goes on and life's challenges continue to come, faith gets tested. Instead of trusting God thr...

Scripture Passage Ephesians 6:10-20 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script Life is more than our actions. Yes, our actions are important. Our decisions are important. We need to take responsibility for our own actions and our decisions. Don't blame others for your own life. There is no use to blame other people or your circumstances. That doesn't do any good. That just makes us feel bad. It is ultimately your decisions and your actions that shape your life. Today is Education Sunday...

Scripture Passage Ephesians 4:25-5:2 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script St. Paul wrote in his letter to the Ephesians, Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children (Ephesians 5:1) Be imitators of God. What does this mean? We often think of imitation as copying or mimicking someone. But when Paul says be imitators, he means more than that. It concerns not just our behaviour, but our entire existence. Being imitators of God means to REFLECT THE IMAGE OF GOD that is within us....

Scripture Passage 2 Corinthians 5:17 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script The essence of the gospel is about change. Once I am in Christ, I am a new creation. The old has passed, the new has come. The person I am today is not the person I will be tomorrow. That is good news. In Christ, there is always the possibility of a new beginning. But many times, that change is not easy. We just came back from Sioux Valley yesterday. Thank you for your prayers and support. Sioux Valley is lo...

Scripture Passage John 5:1-9 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script The Hebrew word Bethzatha means House of Mercy . Many ill, blind, lame and paralyzed people gathered around the pool called Bethzatha hoping to receive mercy. The pool was inside the Sheep Gate. The Sheep Gate and the pool inside it remind me of Psalm 23. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul. (Psalm 23:1-3) Inside the S...

Scripture Passage Psalm 23 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script Psalm 23 is one of the most beloved psalms of all psalms. It is the most quoted and memorized OT Scripture. Many people wrote songs about this psalm. Whenever we hear this psalm, we feel good. I feel good because it tells me that I am not alone. I read this Psalm at the burial service. To die means to be alone. The body will be buried and people all leave the site. But we are not alone even in our death. I have a sheph...

Scripture Passage Mark 6:14-29 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script What is a good life? What is the kind of life that's worth living? I think that a good life is to do what is right in every situation. To be driven by an inner sense of truth and what is good. Rather than by what is advantageous or beneficial for me. I think a good life is to seek the good of others in every situation. Not just my own benefit and advantage. These things are all part of being a disciple of Jesus. In ...

Scripture Passage Mark 6:1-13 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script We think we know – that is the problem. We think we see – that is the problem. Jesus saw that as the problem, If you were blind, you would not have sin. But now that you say, We see , your sin remains. (John 9:41) We think we see – that makes us blind. We think we know – that makes us ignorant. The moment you think you know, your knowledge stops. Why? Because your limited knowledge stops the process of attaining the...

Scripture Passage 2 Corinthians 8:7-15 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script I thank God for everything that I have. All I have comes from God. Good health, good food, good family, good church, and good life – they all come from God. In that sense, I will say life is a gift. I see life as a gift. Jesus gave us a very interesting story. Through this story, he makes a very important point. There was an owner of a vineyard. Early in the morning he went out and saw people not working. He...

Scripture Passage Mark 4:35-41 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script Life is not in your control. That is the basic truth in life. Jesus led the disciples into the boat to cross over to the other side. But a great storm came upon them. Our life is like that. We need to get into the boat to get to the other side. But storms can come at any moment. You cannot control when they come, or whether they come. Storms are powerful forces. They can be overwhelming. You are so small compared t...

Scripture Passage Romans 8:12-17 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script Living an Empowered Life Our time here on earth is short. With the time we have, I believe it's important to live an empowered life. I believe that is God's desire for us. These were Jesus' last words to his disciples: But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. (Acts 1:8) It was a promise of empowerment. After St. Paul met Christ, his life changed. He lived an empowered life. For him too, t...

Scripture Passage John 15:9-17 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script The Last Commandment Love one another. This is the last commandment Jesus taught us. It is the last commandment, the greatest commandment, and the most important commandment. When you put together everything Jesus did, said, and taught, the ultimate conclusion is this: LOVE. So Jesus said this conclusively. This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. (John 15:12) What is the meaning of t...

Scripture Passage Acts 8:26-40 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script The Way of the Spirit Jesus described the Spirit in this way. We are familiar with this verse. The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. (John 3:8) The Spirit is like the wind. We can hear the sound of it. We can even feel it. But we can't control or predict its movement. It blows where it chooses. We may not like hearing this. We like ...

Scripture Passage Acts 4:5-12 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script The Work of the Spirit What happened to the Christians after their leader, Jesus, died? Usually when a leader dies, the movement loses its power and slowly dies away. That's why they killed Jesus. They wanted to kill the movement by killing its leader. But it wasn't so with the Christian movement. After Jesus died, the movement got stronger and bigger. It spread much more powerfully. Jesus basically stayed in Pales...
