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)] Full of Good Works and Grace: The Legacy of a Godly Woman (ACTS 9:36-43) (1.) [v.36-38] In Joppa, what was the disciple Tabitha known for (v.36)? Although she was a faithful, genuine, and generous disciple, what happened to Tabitha (v.37)? Because the community was so grieved and sorrowful over the death of Tabitha, what did the disciples in Joppa do upon hearing that Peter was nearby in the town of Lydda (v.38)? In your family… among your church family… among your neighbors… what are you known for in your character? Are we just talkers about doing good works and acts of charity for Christ, or are we truly doers of them like the disciple Tabitha was? “Charity” in this verse means the giving of alms – generous financial gifts and offerings of support. The disciple Tabitha evidenced this through the many garments/tunics she made to cloth the widows. How are you being good stewards of God’s financial entrustment to you? Does your giving reflect generosity or sparsity? Will the absence of your presence and your godly generosity be missed or go unnoticed? Will your absence bring godly grief and sorrow to God’s people because you are a visible image and reflection of the character of Christ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [v.39-40] When Peter arrived at the upper room where Tabitha’s dead body lay, what were the widows doing and why (v.39)? What did Peter ask everyone to do (v.40)? Then, what did Peter do as he turned to the body of Tabitha (v.40)? How was Peter recalling the healing words of Jesus from Mark 5:41 and Luke 8:54? When you pass into glory, what are the “tunics and garments” you will leave behind, like Tabitha did? What are the words of Christ you will leave behind that can unleash spiritual power, like Jesus’ healing words did with Peter? How are you unlearning to lead with your own words and letting Jesus lead you with His divine Word? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [v.41-43] As the widows were reunited in fellowship with Tabitha, who was Peter uniting in fellowship for several days in Joppa (v.43)? Tabitha was resuscitated back to her old life only to die again. How will we be raised differently by Jesus Christ? [Korean translation] “선행과 구제하는 일이 심히 많더라: 경건한 여인의 유산” (사도행전 9장 36-43절) (1.) [36-38절] 욥바에서 제자 다비다는 무엇으로 유명했습니까(36절)? 그녀는 충실하고 진실하며 관대한 제자였는데, 다비다에게 무슨 일이 일어났습니까(37절)? 마을 사람들이 다비다의 죽음으로 매우 슬퍼하고 애통해했는데, 욥바의 제자들은 베드로가 근처 룻다에 있다는 소식을 듣고 어떻게 했습니까(38절)? 여러분의 가정에서… 교회 공동체에서… 이웃들 사이에서… 여러분은 어떤 성품으로 알려져 있습니까? 우리는 그리스도를 위해 선행과 자선을 행하겠다고 말만 하는 사람들입니까, 아니면 제자 다비다처럼 진정으로 행하는 사람들입니까? 이 구절에서 "자선"은 구제, 즉 관대한 재정적 기부와 지원금을 의미합니다. 제자 다비다는 과부들에게 입힐 많은 옷을 만들어 주면서 이를 증명했습니다. 여러분은 하나님께서 여러분에게 맡기신 재정을 어떻게 잘 관리하고 있습니까? 당신의 나눔은 관대함을 보여줍니까, 아니면 인색함을 보여줍니까? 당신의 부재와 당신의 경건한 관대함이 그리워지거나 아무도 알아채지 못할까요? 당신이 그리스도의 성품을 보여주는 가시적인 형상이자 반영이기 때문에, 당신의 부재는 하나님의 백성에게 경건한 슬픔과 애통함을 가져다줄까요? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [39-40절] 베드로가 다비다의 시신이 있는 다락방에 도착했을 때, 과부들은 무엇을 하고 있었고 왜 그랬습니까(39절)? 베드로는 모두에게 무엇을 하라고 요청했습니까(40절)? 그리고 베드로는 다비다의 시신을 향해 돌아서서 무엇을 했습니까(40절)? 베드로는 마가복음 5장 41절과 누가복음 8장 54절에 나오는 예수님의 치유 말씀을 어떻게 떠올렸습니까? 여러분이 영광에 들어갈 때, 다비다처럼 무엇을 남겨두고 갈 것입니까? 예수님의 치유 말씀이 베드로에게 그랬던 것처럼, 여러분이 남겨두고 갈 그리스도의 말씀은 무엇입니까? 여러분은 어떻게 자신의 말로 이끌던 습관을 버리고 예수님의 신성한 말씀으로 인도받도록 하고 있습니까? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [41-43절] 과부들이 다비다와 다시 만나 교제하게 된 것처럼, 베드로는 욥바에서 며칠 동안 누구와 교제했습니까(43절)? 다비다는 예전의 삶으로 소생했다가 다시 죽었습니다. 우리는 예수 그리스도에 의해 어떻게 다르게 부활하게 될까요? *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: Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (JOHN 3:3) For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. (ROMANS 12:4-5) There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. (GALATIANS 3:28) Prayer (by Pastor Chester): Heavenly Father, we lift up to You the month of January 2026. Thank You for the blessed celebrations of birthdays today for our brother Justin Chao, sister Ashley Chung, and Director Trey Reynolds. We celebrate their birth, but so much more the new birth You have generated in them from the womb of the Kingdom of heaven. Truly, unless on is born again, we cannot see the kingdom of God. So we pray today our three souls will see more and more Your Kingdom come, Your will be done in their lives as they live out their new birth from above. Bless their families today with joy in Your presence. Bless our Elder Heather's birthday this Thursday as well. We praise You for the new life to come, the nourishing growth and healthy delivery of our new sister Gee. May Your hand rest upon the Gee’s and Deacon Gloria as they prepare for Your joy to come. We praise You for Your healing touch on our sister Aria's fever this week. Bless our breakout discussion groups and lunch fellowship today with deep conversations around Christ, His mind, and His Word. This Friday, bless and be with our AGAPE young adults & families life group gathering. Tomorrow, we thank You for the legacy of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who left us an imprint of what it means to be part of the one body in Christ, the endowment of Your image on all Your children, and the gospel that transcends racial and cultural barriers. May we never give in to discriminating one another for any reason or prejudice, but live into being the one body of Christ with many members. We may not all have the same function, but we still makeup Your Son’s one body, individually members of one another. Now in Christ, there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male role and female role that separate and distinguish one more dominant than the other in both the home and church, but we are all one in Christ Jesus clothed with the character of Christ Jesus. Help us to submit to one another and love each other, as Christ has loved us, and as Christ has used Reverend King’s short life to show us, through our risen King and Lord Jesus Christ we pray, Amen & Amen.
