James Cha & Faith Cha – Rev. James Cha is an ordained Presbyterian minister who, alongside his wife Faith Cha, has been serving as missionaries to the Muslim world for the past 25 years - 10 of those years in Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan as church planting missionaries with Pioneers, during which time over 120 Muslims came to Christ by God’s grace over the course of their ministry. Rev. James Cha was born in Pusan, Korea, and immigrated to the United States in the early 1970's with his family. While studying electrical engineering at Cornell University, he surrendered his life to the call of God to be His ambassador to the world, especially to the Muslim world. In 1991, he married his best friend, Faith, and after completing ministry training at Columbia Biblical Seminary in South Carolina and YWAM's Crossroads DTS Discipleship Training School in Kona, Hawaii, the Cha's took their three young children - Joniel, Josiah, and Karis - to Central Asia to serve the Lord as church planting missionaries. Since 2000, the Cha's have been back in the U.S. reaching out to the nations living in their community in Virginia. They are on staff with Crescent Project, a ministry that equips local churches to reach out to Muslims. James and Faith are also founders of i43, a ministry committed to fulfilling the Great Commission to the ends of the earth. Currently, they oversee the ESL (English as Second Language) ministry at Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg, Virginia and are actively teaching and preaching at missions conferences across the country. James and Faith are respected and experienced experts on world missions, spiritual warfare, evangelism through ESL ministry, and outreach to Muslims. James is the author of, "Fear Not: Living a Life of No Regrets” which details his missional calling and experience on the mission field with biblical wisdom and pastoral insight.

[The Gospel According to the Acts of the Apostles – THE CHURCH IN ACTION (part 36)] Rise and Make Your Bed! Godly Stewardship of a Healed Life (ACTS 9:32-35) (1.) [v.32] After Saul had preached boldly the name of the Lord Jesus in Jerusalem and escaped safely to Tarsus, we return to the life of Peter. Because Peter remained in Jerusalem, he could have potentially met Saul, heard his preaching, and been influenced by his conversion and subsequent calling to take the gospel beyond the walls of Jerusalem (Paul says in Galatians 1:18 that he met Peter for 15 days, “Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days.”). For the most part, Peter did not move beyond Jerusalem. His ministry was confined to this city (see Acts 5:16). Yet, what was Peter doing that took him 30 miles west of Jerusalem to the city of Lydda? Why were there “saints” all the way out west of Jerusalem (remember the result of Saul’s ministry from the prior verse Acts 9:31)? As Peter traveled extensively and sacrificially to meet the saints in Lydda outside his own comfortable boundaries, how is the Lord calling you extensively and sacrificially to be with the saints of His Church outside your own comfortable boundaries? How is the Lord desiring for His gospel to go outside our own walls? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [v.33-34] As Peter traveled to Lydda, the Lord providentially led him to minister to a paralyzed brother in Christ, Aeneas, bedridden for eight years. With what words did Peter heal Aeneas and what did he tell Aeneas to do (v.34)? How has the Lord providentially led you to meet someone He desired for you to minister to or be ministered by? If Christ has truly healed you, what is the “bed” you need to make and rise from that has paralyzed you spiritually for years, as Aeneas had to do? What stewardship has God entrusted to your healed and restored life in Christ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [v.35] When Aeneas immediately obeyed Peter’s words by rising to make his bed and preparing something to eat, what happened? The plain of Sharon is over 50 miles long. With just one act of obedience to Christ in stewarding your healed life, how can you influence your “plain of Sharon” to turn to Jesus? [Korean translation] “일어나 네 자리를 정돈하라! 낫게 한 생명의 경건한 청지기 직분” (사도행전 9장 32-35절) (1.) [32절] 사울이 예루살렘에서 주 예수의 이름을 담대히 전파하고 무사히 다소로 도망친 후, 우리는 베드로의 삶으로 돌아갑니다. 베드로는 예루살렘에 남아 있었기 때문에 사울을 만나 그의 설교를 듣고, 사울의 회심과 그 후 예루살렘 성벽 너머로 복음을 전하라는 소명에 영향을 받았을 가능성이 있습니다(바울은 갈라디아서 1:18에서 베드로와 15일 동안 만났다고 말합니다. "삼 년 후에 내가 게바를 만나러 예루살렘에 올라가서 그와 함께 15일 동안 머물렀습니다.") 베드로는 대부분 예루살렘을 벗어나지 않았습니다. 그의 사역은 이 도시에 국한되었습니다(사도행전 5:16 참조). 그런데 베드로는 무엇을 했기에 예루살렘 서쪽으로 48km 떨어진 룻다라는 도시에 갔을까요? 예루살렘 서쪽 먼 곳에 왜 "성도들"이 있었을까요?(사도행전 9:31에서 사울의 사역의 결과를 기억하십시오.) 베드로가 자신의 안락한 영역을 벗어나 룻다의 성도들을 만나기 위해 광범위하고 헌신적인 여행을 했던 것처럼, 주님께서는 당신을 어떻게 부르셔서 당신 자신의 안락한 영역을 벗어나 그분의 교회 성도들과 함께하도록 하시고 계십니까? 주님께서는 그분의 복음이 우리 자신의 울타리를 넘어 어떻게 전파되기를 바라십니까? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [33-34절] 베드로가 룻다로 가는 길에 주님께서는 그를 인도하셔서 8년 동안 병상에 누워 있던 중풍병자 형제 에네아스를 돌보게 하셨습니다. 베드로는 어떤 말로 에네아스를 치유했고, 에네아스에게 무엇을 하라고 말씀했습니까(34절)? 주님께서는 어떻게 당신을 인도하셔서 당신이 섬기거나 섬김을 받도록 하신 사람을 만나게 하셨습니까? 만약 그리스도께서 당신을 진정으로 치유하셨다면, 에네아스처럼 당신을 오랫동안 영적으로 마비시켰던 “병상”은 무엇이며, 당신은 그 병상에서 일어나야 합니까? 하나님께서는 그리스도 안에서 치유되고 회복된 당신의 삶에 어떤 청지기 직분을 맡기셨습니까? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [35절] 에네아스가 베드로의 말에 즉시 순종하여 일어나 침대를 정리하고 음식을 준비했을 때 무슨 일이 일어났습니까? 샤론 평야는 50마일이 넘는 길이입니다. 치유된 삶을 관리하는 데 있어 그리스도께 순종하는 단 한 번의 행동으로 어떻게 당신의 "샤론 평야"가 예수님께로 돌아오도록 영향을 미칠 수 있습니까? *UPCOMING HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY TO YOU FROM OUR HOSANNA FAMILY! We celebrate you and love you in Christ so much! (*Let us know if we missed your birthday! We sincerely apologize) –
*KINGDOM EXPANSION PRAYER – This week’s Kingdom expansion prayers will focus on 2026 January Ministry Scripture: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. (1 JOHN 1:7) For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” (MATTHEW 18:20) And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. (HEBREWS 10:24-25) Prayer (by Pastor Chester): Heavenly Father, we lift up to You the month of January 2026. Thank You for giving us new time, new blessings awaiting Your beloved Church. Thank you for bringing Reserve Elder Andrew Lee to Hosanna, his faithful example of Christ’s servanthood throughout all these years. May You continue to get Your glory through him and work powerfully through him to advance Your Kingdom through Your Church. Bless all the new year gatherings and informal fellowship times with our Pastor, for members to share their hearts, lives, and tears, advancing their walk with Christ. Bless our breakout discussion groups with Christ-exalting expositions and thoughts on Your living Word, edifying one another. Bless the dishwashing servants today with their selfless Christlike servanthood. Bless the staff today as they gather to dream more of Your Kingdom on earth through Hosanna. Be with the JAMES life group families as they regather this Saturday for a time of teaching, sharing their lives, and prayer. Give us joy in Your presence as we celebrate the birthdays of Ashley, Justin, and Director Trey. In all this, may we walk in the light, as Christ is our light, to have true fellowship with one another with the blood of Jesus cleansing us from all sin. For we know where two or more are gathered in the name of Jesus, You are here among us. So let us consider how we can stir up one another to love and good works. Let us not neglect to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encourage one another all the more as we see the Day of Christ’s return drawing nearer and nearer. In the risen name of Jesus Christ who is coming again while we draw nearer to one another again in His fellowship, Amen & amen.
