[The Gospel According to the Acts of the Apostles – THE CHURCH IN ACTION (part 40)] 
We are All Here in the Presence of God to Hear the Word of God: Worshipful Preparation to Hearing the Commandments of the Lord (ACTS 10:23-33)
 
(1.) [v.23] Peter is still in Joppa at Simon the Tanner’s home. Some 900 years prior to Peter in the same city of Joppa was a prophet named Jonah, who had resisted and fled the Lord’s instructions to go to Nineveh, and instead fled to Tarshish. Now, how is Peter reacting differently than Jonah did? When have you received the Word of the Lord like Jonah and fled to your Tarshish? How can you receive the Word of the Lord like Peter and obediently go to your Caesarea?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(2.) [v.24-26] Like Cornelius, are you “expecting” to hear from the Lord daily in His Word and through His messengers? Unlike Cornelius, how must you fall down at the feet of Jesus and worship Him alone rather than any other person/place/thing in order to hear His Word correctly? 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(3.) [v.27-29] Like Peter, how is Jesus breaking down walls and barriers you once carried in your relationships with one another, especially within the church body?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(4.) [v.30-33] Like Cornelius, do you have a testimony of Jesus’ appearing in your life to tell? Are you humbly listening to Jesus in His presence, ready to hear His commandments through the messengers He has sent to you?
 
 
[Korean translation]
“우리 모두 하나님의 임재 앞에 모여 하나님의 말씀을 듣기 위해 있습니다: 주님의 계명을 듣기 위한 경건한 준비” (사도행전 10장 23-33절)
 
(1.) [23절] 베드로는 여전히 욥바에 있는 가죽 세공업자 시몬의 집에 머물고 있었습니다. 베드로보다 약 900년 전에 같은 도시 욥바에 요나라는 예언자가 있었는데, 그는 주님께서 니느웨로 가라고 하신 명령을 거부하고 다시스로 도망쳤습니다. 그렇다면 베드로는 요나와 어떻게 다르게 행동했을까요? 여러분은 언제 주님의 말씀을 받고 요나처럼 다시스로 도망친 적이 있습니까? 어떻게 하면 베드로처럼 주님의 말씀을 받고 순종하여 가이사랴로 갈 수 있을까요?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(2.) [24-26절] 고넬료처럼 당신도 주님의 말씀과 그분의 사자들을 통해 매일 주님의 음성을 듣기를 “기대”하고 있습니까? 고넬료와는 달리, 어떻게 하면 예수님의 발 앞에 엎드려 다른 어떤 사람이나 장소나 사물이 아닌 오직 그분만을 경배해야만 그분의 말씀을 올바르게 들을 수 있습니까?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(3.) [27-29절] 베드로처럼 예수님께서는 여러분이 서로의 관계, 특히 교회 공동체 안에서 이전에 가지고 있던 벽과 장벽을 어떻게 허물고 계십니까?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(4.) [30-33절] 고넬료처럼 당신도 예수님께서 당신의 삶에 나타나신 것에 대한 간증을 가지고 있습니까? 당신은 겸손히 예수님의 임재 안에서 그분의 말씀을 듣고, 그분께서 당신에게 보내신 사자들을 통해 그분의 계명을 들을 준비가 되어 있습니까?
 
*KINGDOM EXPANSION PRAYER – This week’s Kingdom expansion prayers will focus on thanksgiving for Missionary Cha & Great Commission Focus Weekend
 
Scripture:
 
And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (MATTHEW 28:18-20)
 
 
Prayer (by Pastor Chester):
Heavenly Father, we lift up to You, Your missionaries Pastor James & Faith Cha. Thank You for sending them to Hosanna at just the right time. No one who was greeted by them, prayed over by them, taught and preached to by them came away without having encountered the overflowing love of Jesus Christ and heart to make true disciples all over the world. We thank You for the fruits of the Spirit – their kindness, gentleness, genuine interest in the lives of each of our congregants and youth students. They have shown us the glorious face of Jesus Christ. Help us remember their encouragements from You, their challenges in Your Word, and their numerous testimonies of the powerful workings of Your Spirit in central Asia. Lord, help us live like the Cha’s in Jesus who holds all authority in heaven and on earth. Let us go to make disciples in every stage of life from infancy to adulthood, baptizing them in Your Name, teaching them Your commandments. Lord Jesus, let us be found true disciples whose devotion to You far outweighs our own family relationships. May ambassadors of Christ’s reconciliation emerge out of Hosanna to shine Your light through our beautiful church. As Lenten season begins this Wednesday, help us fast and pray, realigning our hunger to hunger after Jesus more and more, starving the flesh but feeding the soul. Bless our baby shower blessing today with joy in Your presence. Bless our dishwashers and kitchen ministry today. Bless the staff as they gather today. Bless the volleyball fellowship with Bethany today with safety and compassionate sportsmanship. All for the glory of our risen Lord Jesus Christ, Amen & amen.
