“Here am I, Lord: The Available, Teachable, and Commendable Disciple of Christ” (ACTS 9:10-19) (1.) [v.10-12] While Saul was blinded by the light from heaven and led by the hand into Damascus, God had already prepared someone for him to meet in the city. Who was at Damascus (v.10)? How did the Lord call this disciple (v.10)? How did the disciple answer the Lord (v.10)? What did the Lord tell this disciple to do (v.11-12)? When the Lord calls us through His Word, His visions, His dreams, His Spirit, His orchestrated circumstances – He calls us by name as He did with Ananias. Have you heard your name being called by the Lord? Have you been listening and available to respond, “Here I am”? What has the Lord told you to do, especially in going to the difficult places to be and different people to forgive in your lives? How can you lay your prayerful hands on these places and people today? How is God calling you to be His instrument for that place or person to regain their spiritual sight? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [v.13-16] Although Ananias initially replied, “Here I am, Lord” – it appears his answer changes to “It is not for me, Lord” after hearing what he must do. How does Ananias answer the Lord’s command to go to Saul and lay prayerful hands on him (v.13-14)? How does the Lord correct Ananias’ view of Saul with the calling He has placed on Saul’s life (v.15)? In order to accomplish the call to carry His Name into all nations, what will the Lord show Saul (v.16)? How have we changed “Here I am, Lord” to “It’s not for me, Lord”? How has fear and evil won over faith and His goodness in me? How is the Lord asking you to do exactly the opposite of what you are thinking to do? How can your obedience by another’s blessing to be God’s chosen instrument to carry His name to the nations? What is it costing us to carry His name? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [v.17-19] When Ananias obeyed the Lord, what happened (v.17-19)? When we obey the Lord, how does the holy Spirit fill us? How do the scales fall from our eyes to regain spiritual sight? By the waters of our baptism, how are we assured forgiveness and strengthened to be numbered among the true disciples of Christ? [Korean translation] “주여 내가 여기 있나이다: 그리스도의 기꺼이 섬기고, 가르침을 잘 받으며, 칭찬받을 만한 제자” (사도행전 9장 10-19절) (1.) [10-12절] 사울이 하늘에서 내린 빛에 눈이 멀어 손에 이끌려 다메섹으로 들어갔을 때, 하나님은 이미 그가 다메섹에서 만날 사람을 예비해 두셨습니다. 다메섹에는 누가 있었습니까(10절)? 주님은 이 제자를 어떻게 부르셨습니까(10절)? 제자는 주님께 어떻게 대답했습니까(10절)? 주님은 이 제자에게 무엇을 하라고 말씀하셨습니까(11-12절)? 주님께서 그분의 말씀, 환상, 꿈, 영, 그리고 그분이 조종하신 상황을 통해 우리를 부르실 때, 아나니아에게 하셨던 것처럼 우리의 이름을 부르십니다. 주님께서 당신의 이름을 부르시는 것을 들으셨습니까? 당신은 듣고 “내가 여기 있나이다”라고 응답할 준비가 되어 있습니까? 주님께서 당신에게 무엇을 하라고 말씀하셨습니까? 특히 삶에서 어려운 곳에 가거나 용서해야 할 다른 사람들을 찾아가는 것에 대해 어떻게 말씀하셨습니까? 오늘 당신은 어떻게 그러한 곳과 사람들에게 기도하는 손을 얹을 수 있습니까? 하나님께서는 어떻게 당신을 그 곳 또는 사람들이 영적 시력을 되찾도록 그분의 도구가 되도록 부르고 계십니까? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [13-16절] 아나니아는 처음에는 "주님, 제가 여기 있습니다"라고 대답했지만, 무엇을 해야 하는지 듣고 나서는 "주님, 저에게는 안 됩니다"로 대답이 바뀐 것 같습니다. 아나니아는 사울에게 가서 기도하는 마음으로 손을 얹으라는 주님의 명령에 어떻게 대답합니까(13-14절)? 주님은 사울에게 주신 부르심으로 아나니아의 사울에 대한 견해를 어떻게 바로잡으십니까(15절)? 그분의 이름을 모든 민족에게 전하라는 부르심을 이루기 위해 주님은 사울에게 무엇을 보여주실 것입니까(16절)? 우리는 어떻게 "주님, 제가 여기 있습니다"를 "주님, 저에게는 안 됩니다"로 바꾸었습니까? 두려움과 악이 어떻게 내 안에 있는 믿음과 그분의 선하심을 이겼습니까? 주님께서는 어떻게 당신이 하려고 생각하는 것과 정반대로 하라고 요구하십니까? 다른 사람의 축복을 통해 순종하는 것이 어떻게 하나님의 이름을 민족에게 전하는 하나님의 택하신 도구가 될 수 있습니까? 그분의 이름을 전하기 위해 우리는 어떤 대가를 치러야 합니까? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [17-19절] 아나니아가 주님께 순종했을 때 무슨 일이 일어났습니까(17-19절)? 우리가 주님께 순종할 때 성령께서 어떻게 우리를 채우십니까? 어떻게 우리 눈에서 비늘이 떨어져 영적 시력을 회복하십니까? 세례의 물로 우리는 어떻게 용서를 확신하고 그리스도의 참된 제자들 가운데 들도록 힘을 얻습니까? *UPCOMING (*notice some dates may have changed) –
*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 Christmas Advent season, Ventura family & December ministries Scripture: Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. (ISAIAH 7:14) And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (JOHN 1:14) For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (ISAIAH 9:6) Prayer (by Pastor Chester): Heavenly Father, we lift up to You this advent season of the arrival of Your Son, our newborn King Jesus Christ, inviting Him as Lord over all of our lives. We stand in awe and amazement at Your sign of this through the prophet Isaiah 700 years prior to the birth of Christ. You are a promise-keeping God, to be hold the virgin conceive by the holy Spirit, to bear the Immanuel newborn King. Because Christ and the Spirit has come into the world, we know You as the God with us, the God who became flesh and dwelt among us. We have seen Your glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. Although all earthly governmental authorities were against Him, You gave Him the Name above every name, that at the name of Jesus we can know You, through the Spirit, as our Wonderful Counselor, mighty God, everlasting Father, Prince of peace. Refresh us this Christmas to keep Christ in Christmas, not becoming a holiday but a holy day. Through the Holy One and His healing hands, thank You, Lord Jesus, for healing our sister Jihoon’s legs from her fall. Bring the Ventura’s back safely to us from Korea in December. Be with our Deacons and Elders today as they plan and dream for the next ministry year. Bring overflowing joy in the Lord to sister Winnie on her birthday this Friday. Flourish our James life group gathering this Saturday. Bless the serving hands of our dessert ministry next Sunday. Strengthen our honored staff in their gathering next Sunday. Establish the work of our hands to be in step with Your heart and Kingdom and righteousness, through Christ Jesus our King whom we seek first as our first love and long for His second advent, Amen & amen.
