[LORD'S DAY RESURRECTION SUNDAY] The Gospel According to the Acts of the Apostles – THE CHURCH IN ACTION (part 58): Turn from These Vain Things to the Living God (ACTS 14:8-18) (1.) [v.8-10] *In Christ, you possess the faith “to be made well” by hearing the gospel. Yet, how is it that you can still be “not well” in how you are living out that gospel? What has Jesus Christ done to make you stand upright on your feet that you once could not do on your own? What idolatry continues to cripple your feet instead of raise your feet to stand upright? Is the gospel of Jesus Christ crippling your idolatry, so that you might be placed in total helplessness, surrender, and inability to fix your deepest issues? At the same time, is the gospel of Jesus Christ raising you to stand upright on your feet with self-denial instead of self-sufficiency and upright worship instead of idol worship? As Paul saw in the crippled man, can Jesus see in you the faith “to be made well”? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [v.11-13] *Today, what are the “gods” and the “GOAT’s” (Greatest-Of-All-Time) that have “come down to us in the likeness of men” that cause you to be generous to, sacrificial for, and give worth in on this earth? Where are you being misguided to worship what/who is in creation instead of the Creator who made and gave all creation? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [v.14-18] *Reflect on daily provisions from God in your life – your health, your family, your possessions, your daily bread, your fruitful seasons, the nature around you etc. How are all of these daily reminders that the true God is not in your idols but in the Maker of “the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them”? How are these daily reminders calling you to turn from the vanity of your idolatry to the worship of your great God and Savior Jesus Christ? [Korean translation] 이런 헛된 일을 버리고 살아 계신 하나님께로 돌아오라 (사도행전 14:8-18) (1.) [8-10절] *그리스도 안에서 여러분은 복음을 듣고 “낫게 될” 믿음을 갖게 되었습니다. 그런데도 그 복음을 삶으로 실천하는 데 있어서 여전히 “낫지 못하는” 이유는 무엇일까요? 예수 그리스도께서는 여러분이 스스로는 할 수 없었던 일을 어떻게 행하셔서 바로 세우셨습니까? 어떤 우상숭배가 여러분의 발을 바로 세우는 대신 계속해서 발을 불구로 만들고 있습니까? 예수 그리스도의 복음이 여러분의 우상숭배를 불구로 만들어 여러분이 완전히 무력하고, 항복하고, 가장 깊은 문제들을 해결할 수 없게 만들고 있습니까? 동시에 예수 그리스도의 복음은 자기부정으로, 우상숭배가 아닌 올바른 예배로 여러분을 바로 세우고 있습니까? 바울이 불구자에게서 보았듯이, 예수님께서는 여러분에게서 “낫게 될” 믿음을 보실 수 있을까요? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [11-13절] *오늘날, 당신이 이 땅에서 관대하게 섬기고, 희생 제물을 바치고, 가치를 부여하게 만드는 “사람의 모양으로 우리에게 내려온” “신들”과 “역대 최고의 존재들”은 무엇입니까? 모든 피조물을 창조하시고 주신 창조주 대신에 피조물 안에 있는 사물/존재를 숭배하도록 당신은 어떤 잘못된 길로 인도되고 있습니까? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [14-18절] *삶 속에서 하나님께서 매일 공급해 주시는 것들, 즉 건강, 가족, 소유물, 일용할 양식, 풍성한 수확, 주변의 자연 등을 생각해 보십시오. 이 모든 것들이 참 하나님이 우상이 아니라 “하늘과 땅과 바다와 그 안에 있는 모든 것”을 만드신 분 안에 계시다는 사실을 어떻게 일깨워 주는 것입니까? 이러한 일깨움이 어떻게 당신을 우상숭배의 허무함에서 돌이켜 위대하신 하나님이시며 구원자이신 예수 그리스도를 예배하도록 부르고 있습니까? *KINGDOM EXPANSION RESPONSIVE SCRIPTURE READING & PRAYER – Elder Nara Jeng will lead us in this week’s Kingdom expansion responsive Scripture reading and prayer. [[*Please rise, as you are willing and able, out of reverence and honor for the reading of the Word of God and praying of the Word of God.]] Growing a Heart of Mission Matthew 28:18-20 (ESV) 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[b] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 6 The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully[d] will also reap bountifully. 7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency[e] in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work. Isaiah 30:19-23 19 People of Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. How gracious he will be when you cry for help! As soon as he hears, he will answer you… 21 Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”… 23 He will also send you rain for the seed you sow in the ground, and the food that comes from the land will be rich and plentiful…. Heavenly Father, King of Kings, we come before You acknowledging Your absolute sovereignty. We recognize that all authority in heaven and on earth belongs to Jesus Christ. Expand our vision today. Break our hearts for what breaks Yours, and grow within us a relentless passion for the expansion of Your Kingdom. We pull down every barrier of comfort and fear, and we present ourselves as willing vessels for Your global mission. Lord Jesus, You commanded us to go and make disciples of all nations. We confess that we often let fear, busy schedules, or feelings of inadequacy keep us silent. Today, we ask for an infusion of holy boldness. Because You have all authority, we pray for opportunities to share the Gospel in our neighborhoods, workplaces, and across the globe. Give us the right words to teach others to observe Your commands. When we feel isolated or discouraged, remind us of Your ultimate promise: that You are with us always, even to the very end of the age. Send us out as true disciple-makers, baptizing and grounding others in the truth of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Father, You have called us to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world—living examples of Your grace. We pray for divine direction in our daily conduct so that our lives point others directly to You. When we face difficult choices, or when the world tries to pull us into compromise, let our ears hear Your voice behind us saying, 'This is the way; walk in it.' Keep our steps aligned with Your holiness whether we turn to the right or to the left. Let our lives be a source of comfort to those who weep, showing them how gracious You are when they cry for help. May our character be rich and plentiful, a testimony of Your transforming power that draws a watching world into Your fold. Lord of the Harvest, we recognize that kingdom expansion requires resources, and everything we have belongs to You. Deliver us from a spirit of scarcity, hoarding, or financial anxiety. Deliver us also from giving out of mere duty, reluctance, or compulsion. Grant us the discipline to sow bountifully into Your mission, trusting that we will also reap bountifully. Transform us into cheerful givers who decide in our hearts to back Your vision with our time and finances. We stand on Your promise that You are able to make all grace abound to us. Provide for us so that, having all sufficiency in all things at all times, we may abound in every good work and fund the sharing of the Gospel worldwide. Send rain on the seeds we sow, both spiritually and financially. Establish the work of our hands, Lord. Let our lives, our words, and our resources reflect a heart completely surrendered to the Great Commission. We pray for a harvest of souls and the rapid advancement of Your Kingdom. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
