[INDEPENDENCE APPRECIATION LORD'S DAY RESURRECTION SUNDAY] The Gospel According to the Acts of the Apostles – THE CHURCH IN ACTION (part 56): I Have Made You My Light to the Ends of the Earth (ACTS 13:44-52) (1.) [v.44-45] When Paul concluded his sermon, the people had begged him to hear more of the gospel the next Sabbath. Now, the next Sabbath had arrived and virtually the entire city of Pisidian Antioch gathered to hear the word of the Lord. Yet, this great spiritual revival triggered a jealous heart instead of a thankful heart among the Jewish leaders. Instead of celebrating what God was doing, they were contradicting what Paul was speaking with bitter insults and arguments. *When has jealousy instead of thankfulness filled your heart at what God was doing around you? When have you been discouraged when sharing the gospel was met with apathy, hostility, or jealousy? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [v.46-49] In response to the jealousy of the Jewish leaders, Paul and Barnabas proclaim that they are turning to take the gospel message to the non-Jewish/Gentile world, as the Lord had commanded them from the time of the prophecy of Isaiah, to be His light that brings salvation to the ends of the earth (Isaiah 42:6; Isaiah 49:6), and to be His witnesses to the end of the earth (Acts 1:8). When the gathered crowds heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord, and those who were appointed to eternal life believed as the gospel continued to spread throughout the region. *Although particular people or situations may block and resist the gospel ministry, how has the Lord opened new paths, new places, and new people to rejoice with and glorify the gospel together? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [v.50-52] The words of Paul and Barnabas infuriated the Jewish leaders all the more, so they were determined to incite prominent citizens of the city to drive them out of their district. But before that could happen, Paul and Barnabas shake the dust off their feet as a testimony against the rejection of the Jewish leaders and move on to Iconium. Instead of being discouraged, they were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit. *When is it wise in the Lord to shake the dust off your feet and leave, going to another place and another people who will be receiving instead of rejecting the gospel ministry? What difficult situation or difficult person(s) is stealing your joy in the Holy Spirit? How is the Holy Spirit leading you to move with Him and not let difficult situations steal His overflowing joy in you? [Korean translation] 너를 땅끝까지 비추는 나의 빛으로 삼았다 (사도행전 13:44-52) (1.) [44-45절] 바울이 설교를 마치자 사람들은 다음 안식일에 복음을 더 듣고 싶다고 간청했습니다. 마침내 다음 안식일이 되었고, 피시디아 안디옥의 거의 모든 사람들이 주님의 말씀을 듣기 위해 모였습니다. 그러나 이 놀라운 영적 부흥은 유대 지도자들의 마음을 감사하는 마음 대신 시기하는 마음으로 가득 채웠습니다. 그들은 하나님께서 행하시는 일을 기뻐하기는커녕, 바울의 말을 신랄한 비난과 논쟁으로 반박했습니다. *하나님께서 당신 주변에서 행하시는 일에 감사 대신 시기심이 당신의 마음을 채운 적이 있습니까? 복음을 전했을 때 무관심, 적대감, 또는 시기심에 부딪혀 낙심한 적이 있습니까? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [46-49절] 유대 지도자들의 시기심에 대한 응답으로, 바울과 바나바는 주님께서 이사야의 예언 때부터 그들에게 명하신 대로, 땅 끝까지 구원을 전하는 주님의 빛이 되라는 명령(이사야 42:6; 49:6)과 땅 끝까지 주님의 증인이 되라는 명령(사도행전 1:8)을 받아, 이방인들에게 복음을 전하러 돌아선다고 선포했습니다. 모인 무리가 이 말을 듣고 기뻐하며 주님의 말씀을 찬양하기 시작했고, 영생을 얻도록 택함받은 자들은 복음이 그 지역 전체에 퍼져 나가면서 믿게 되었습니다. *특정한 사람이나 상황이 복음 사역을 방해하고 저항할 수도 있지만, 주님께서는 어떻게 새로운 길, 새로운 장소, 새로운 사람들을 열어 함께 복음을 기뻐하고 찬양하게 하셨습니까? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [50-52절] 바울과 바나바의 말은 유대 지도자들을 더욱 격분시켰고, 그들은 도시의 유력 인사들을 선동하여 바울과 바나바를 그 지역에서 쫓아내려고 작정했습니다. 그러나 그 일이 일어나기 전에 바울과 바나바는 유대 지도자들의 거부에 대한 증거로 발의 먼지를 털고 이코니움으로 떠났습니다. 그들은 낙심하기는커녕 기쁨과 성령으로 충만했습니다. *주님 안에서 언제 발의 먼지를 털고 떠나 복음 사역을 거부하지 않고 받아들일 다른 곳, 다른 사람들에게로 가는 것이 현명할까요? 어떤 어려운 상황이나 어려운 사람(들)이 성령 안에서 당신의 기쁨을 빼앗아 가고 있습니까? 성령께서는 당신이 어려운 상황에서 그분의 넘치는 기쁨을 빼앗기지 않도록 어떻게 인도하고 계십니까? *KINGDOM EXPANSION RESPONSIVE SCRIPTURE READING & PRAYER – Deacon Gloria Gee 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.]]

[FATHER'S APPRECIATION LORD'S DAY RESURRECTION SUNDAY] The Gospel According to the Acts of the Apostles – THE CHURCH IN ACTION (part 55): Continue in the Grace of God (ACTS 13:38-43) (1.) [v.38-39] The apostle Paul continues his sermon upon the foundation of God having raised up Jesus from the dead as the incorruptible Holy One. Because Jesus stands as the resurrected incorruptible Savior who came clothed with the perfect sinlessness of humanity, only “through this man” forgiveness of sins can be proclaimed. By Him (the living Word), everyone who believes is freed from everything that the law (the written Word) could not free them from. Prior to the finished work of the living Word Jesus Christ, the written Word of the law of Moses could only identify sin, but never remove sin. Yet now, Jesus can do both, by not only identifying and removing sin, but also crediting sinners His infinite righteousness into a freed holy life. *If you are to continue in the grace of forgiveness, are you learning to forgive your offenders in Christ and likewise humbly ask for forgiveness from those you have offended, especially in the body of Christ? Who do you need to forgive to experience the grace of freedom in Christ? Who do you need to ask for forgiveness to experience freedom in Christ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [v.40-41] After proclaiming forgiveness and freedom through Jesus Christ, the apostle Paul gives a warning concerning unbelief. Paul warns them to watch out and learn from what the prophet Habakkuk warned God’s people in their day, where there were doubters and scoffers who mocked God and did not believe in His works and words, even though God had sent His messengers to tell them. Ultimately, they would end up astounded/amazed at their unbelief and perish. *Are godly warnings and admonishments part of God’s grace for you? How must you continue to listen and be warned in His grace? Are you among the scoffers/doubters/mockers of the work of Christ through His Church, or among the followers/believers/proclaimers of Christ and His Church? Even as God is doing His work in your day, and sending His messengers to tell you it, do you trust it? Or are you predetermined not to believe in it? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [v.42-43] The amazing response from the synagogue audience to Paul’s gospel message and warning is a model for how we must respond to Christ and His Words today. They begged Paul to return on the next Sabbath day to hear more of the gospel. Even after their meeting dispersed, they followed Paul and Barnabas as they continued to speak to them about Christ, urging them to continue in the grace of God. *Are you enduring to grow in God’s grace? How is His grace growing a greater hunger for the words and works of the gospel? How is His grace strengthening you to continue on? [Korean translation] 항상 하나님의 은혜 가운데 있으라 (사도행전 13:38-43) (1.) [38-39절] 사도 바울은 하나님께서 썩지 않는 거룩하신 분으로 예수님을 죽은 자 가운데서 부활시키셨다는 기초 위에 설교를 계속합니다. 예수님은 완전한 죄 없음의 모습으로 오신 부활하신 불멸의 구세주이시기에, 오직 “이 사람을 통하여” 죄 사함이 선포될 수 있습니다. 그분(살아있는 말씀)을 통하여 믿는 모든 사람은 율법(기록된 말씀)이 해방시켜 줄 수 없었던 모든 것에서 해방됩니다. 살아있는 말씀이신 예수 그리스도의 완성된 사역 이전에는 모세의 율법은 죄를 식별할 수는 있었지만 죄를 제거할 수는 없었습니다. 그러나 이제 예수님은 죄를 식별하고 제거할 뿐 아니라 죄인들에게 자신의 무한한 의를 전가하여 자유롭고 거룩한 삶을 살도록 하십니다. *용서의 은혜 안에 계속 머물고자 한다면, 그리스도 안에서 당신에게 잘못을 저지른 사람들을 용서하는 법을 배우고 있습니까? 또한 그리스도의 몸 안에서, 특히 당신이 잘못을 저지른 사람들에게 겸손히 용서를 구하고 있습니까? 그리스도 안에서 자유의 은혜를 경험하기 위해 누구를 용서해야 합니까? 그리스도 안에서 자유를 경험하려면 누구에게 용서를 구해야 합니까? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [40-41절] 사도 바울은 예수 그리스도를 통한 용서와 자유를 선포한 후 불신에 대해 경고합니다. 바울은 선지자 하박국이 당시 하나님의 백성에게 경고했던 것을 본받아 조심하라고 당부합니다. 당시에는 의심하고 조롱하는 자들이 있었고, 하나님께서 그의 사자를 보내어 말씀하셨음에도 불구하고 그들은 하나님의 행하심과 말씀을 믿지 않았습니다. 결국 그들은 자신들의 불신에 놀라 멸망하게 될 것입니다. *하나님의 경고와 권면은 당신을 위한 하나님의 은혜의 일부입니까? 당신은 어떻게 계속해서 그분의 은혜 안에서 듣고 경고를 받아야 합니까? 당신은 그리스도께서 교회를 통해 행하시는 일을 조롱하고 의심하고 비웃는 자들 가운데 있습니까, 아니면 그리스도와 그의 교회를 따르고 믿고 선포하는 자들 가운데 있습니까? 하나님께서 당신 시대에 당신의 일을 행하시고 그의 사자를 보내어 말씀하실 때, 당신은 그것을 신뢰합니까? 아니면 당신은 그것을 믿지 않기로 미리 정해져 있습니까? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [42-43절] 바울의 복음 메시지와 경고에 대한 회당 청중들의 놀라운 반응은 오늘날 우리가 그리스도와 그분의 말씀에 어떻게 반응해야 하는지에 대한 본보기입니다. 그들은 바울에게 다음 안식일에 다시 와서 복음을 더 들어달라고 간청했습니다. 모임이 끝난 후에도 그들은 바울과 바나바를 따라가며 그들이 그리스도에 대해 계속 이야기하고 하나님의 은혜 안에 머물도록 권면하는 것을 들었습니다. *당신은 하나님의 은혜 안에서 성장하기 위해 인내하고 있습니까? 하나님의 은혜는 어떻게 복음의 말씀과 행하심에 대한 더 큰 갈망을 키워주고 있습니까? 하나님의 은혜는 어떻게 당신이 계속 나아갈 수 있도록 힘을 주고 있습니까? *KINGDOM EXPANSION RESPONSIVE SCRIPTURE READING & PRAYER – Deacon Juhae Park will lead us in this week’s Kingdom expansion responsive Scripture reading and prayer. This week’s Kingdom expansion prayers will focus on our Hosanna fathers. [[*Please rise, as you are willing and able, out of reverence and honor for the reading of the Word of God]] “For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”” Romans 8:14-15 ESV “And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet.” Luke 15:21-22 ESV “Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.” Ephesians 6:4 ESV *Prayer (by Deacon Juhae Park): Dear Heavenly Father, We praise you and thank you this morning for bringing us here together as your sons and daughters. Thank you for your amazing grace that through Christ, we can come before you and call you Abba, Father. We thank you that God, you are our heavenly Father. Thank you for your love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. You have given us the best and you are a good, good father. We lift up all the fathers of Hosanna this morning as we celebrate today as the Father’s day. Thank you for calling them to fatherhood. May your Spirit strengthen them and guide them each day to reflect your image as they teach their children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord, and help all of us to see your glory more and more as we respect and honor our fathers.

[RESURRECTION SUNDAY] The Gospel According to the Acts of the Apostles – THE CHURCH IN ACTION (part 54): Laid in a Tomb, But God Raised Him from the Dead (ACTS 13:26-37) (1.) [v.26-29] The apostle Paul continues his sermon before the synagogue audience at Pisidian Antioch. The focus of his message is now climaxing and narrowing on the heart of the gospel – the rejection, death, and resurrected life of Jesus Christ. Every Sabbath, his audience had heard being read the utterances of the prophets about Jesus, yet they did not recognize nor understand what the prophets were saying. They were all guilty, alongside the synagogue rulers, of having condemned Jesus to crucifixion. Yet even their rejection and unbelief of Christ worked to fulfill what the prophets had already declared and written down. Even their evil to put Jesus to death on a cross was God’s mechanism to accomplish His foreordained plan and fulfill His promised word. *Like the audience of the synagogues in Paul’s day, what are you not recognizing about Jesus Christ? What are you not understanding about Jesus Christ? On every Sunday (the Christian’s Sabbath Day of Rest) at any number of biblical churches in the area, the gospel about Jesus can be heard repeatedly. Yet do you understand it? Do you truly recognize it? How is your understanding still becoming a misunderstanding? How are you not recognizing the true Jesus among counterfeits/fakes/forgeries of Jesus around you? Although you still sin daily and fail in understanding and obeying the Word of God, how is God still being faithful to fulfill His glorious purpose in Christ for your life? How is God’s plan not derailed for you, but being fulfilled through you? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [v.30-33] Jesus was crucified and laid in a tomb, but God the Father raised Him from the dead! And after Jesus was raised, He appeared for many days with many convincing proofs so that those who saw Him became witnesses to His resurrection and children for whom God’s promises were fulfilled. Likewise, we too have become children of God by the risen Jesus, who could not stay in the grave because of His divine nature as the eternal Son who was fathered eternally by the eternal Father (Psalm 2:7). *What is your “But God…” moment of life? How has God taken you out of your tomb and into the resurrected life of His Son? As a resurrected child of God, how must your life witness to the resurrection of Christ? What ways can you be a true witness to the world that God raised Jesus from the dead? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [v.34-37] Because of the fact that Jesus was raised from the dead, He is the holy and sure blessing that was promised to David (Isaiah 55:3) to see no corruption (Psalm 16:10). *Like David who hoped for the day of Christ’s resurrection, serving God’s purpose in his own generation and falling asleep, are you serving God’s purpose in your own generation with your temporal life? What is that purpose and role of servanthood from God? How is it revealing the incorruptible Christ? [Korean translation] 무덤에 두었으나 하나님이 죽은 자 가운데서 그를 살리신지라 (사도행전 13:26-37) (1.) [26-29절] 사도 바울은 피시디아 안디옥의 회당에서 설교를 이어갑니다. 그의 메시지는 이제 절정에 달하며 복음의 핵심, 즉 예수 그리스도의 거부, 죽음, 그리고 부활에 초점을 맞추고 있습니다. 매주 안식일마다 청중들은 예수에 대한 예언자들의 말씀을 읽어주는 것을 들었지만, 그 예언자들이 무엇을 말하는지 깨닫지도 이해하지도 못했습니다. 그들은 회당장들과 함께 예수를 십자가형에 처하도록 정죄한 죄를 범했습니다. 그러나 그리스도를 거부하고 믿지 않았던 그들의 행위조차도 예언자들이 이미 선포하고 기록한 것을 성취하는 데 일조했습니다. 예수를 십자가에 못 박아 죽인 그들의 악행조차도 하나님께서 미리 정하신 계획을 이루고 약속하신 말씀을 성취하시기 위한 하나님의 도구였습니다. *바울 시대의 회당 청중들처럼, 당신은 예수 그리스도에 대해 무엇을 깨닫지 못하고 있습니까? 무엇을 이해하지 못하고 있습니까? 매주 일요일(그리스도인의 안식일)이면 이 지역의 수많은 성경적 교회에서 예수님에 대한 복음을 반복해서 들을 수 있습니다. 하지만 여러분은 그 복음을 이해하고 있습니까? 진정으로 알아보고 있습니까? 여러분의 이해는 여전히 오해로 이어지고 있지는 않습니까? 주변에 있는 수많은 가짜 예수님들 속에서 참 예수님을 알아보지 못하는 이유는 무엇입니까? 여러분이 여전히 매일 죄를 짓고 하나님의 말씀을 이해하고 순종하지 못하는데도, 하나님께서는 어떻게 여전히 그리스도 안에서 여러분의 삶을 향한 영광스러운 목적을 신실하게 이루시고 계십니까? 어떻게 하나님의 계획이 여러분을 위해 좌절되지 않고 여러분을 통해 성취되고 있습니까? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [30-33절] 예수께서 십자가에 못 박히시고 무덤에 묻히셨으나 하나님 아버지께서 그분을 죽은 자 가운데서 살리셨습니다! 예수께서 부활하신 후에 여러 날 동안 나타나셔서 많은 확실한 증거를 보이셨습니다. 그분을 본 사람들은 그분의 부활의 증인이 되었고 하나님의 약속이 성취된 자녀가 되었습니다. 마찬가지로 우리도 부활하신 예수님을 통해 하나님의 자녀가 되었습니다. 예수님은 영원하신 아버지에게서 영원히 나신 영원한 아들의 신성으로 말미암아 무덤에 머무를 수 없으셨습니다(시편 2:7). *당신의 삶에서 “그러나 하나님께서…”라고 생각했던 순간은 언제였습니까? 하나님께서 어떻게 당신을 무덤에서 꺼내어 그분의 아들의 부활하신 생명으로 인도하셨습니까? 부활한 하나님의 자녀로서 당신의 삶은 어떻게 그리스도의 부활을 증거해야 합니까? 하나님께서 예수님을 죽은 자 가운데서 살리셨다는 것을 세상에 어떻게 참된 증인으로 증거할 수 있습니까? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [34-37절] 예수께서 죽은 자 가운데서 부활하셨기 때문에, 그분은 다윗에게 약속된(이사야 55:3) 썩지 않는 거룩하고 확실한 축복이십니다(시편 16:10). *다윗이 그리스도의 부활의 날을 소망하며 자기 시대에 하나님의 뜻을 섬기다가 잠들었던 것처럼, 당신은 이 세상에서 당신의 삶을 통해 당신 시대의 하나님의 뜻을 섬기고 있습니까? 하나님께서 주신 섬김의 목적과 역할은 무엇입니까? 그것은 어떻게 썩지 않는 그리스도를 드러냅니까? *KINGDOM EXPANSION PRAYER – This week’s Kingdom expansion prayers will focus on Summer Holy Communion Sunday. *WELCOME to HOSANNA! – Warmest welcome to all of you, especially if you are visiting or re-visiting! Please let our Welcoming Team give you our welcoming gift! Fill-out a yellow newcomer’s contact card so that we can keep in touch!

[RESURRECTION SUNDAY] The Gospel According to the Acts of the Apostles – THE CHURCH IN ACTION (part 53): God has Brought the Savior Jesus, Just as He Promised (ACTS 13:16-25) (1.) [v.16-20] Having been invited by the rulers of the synagogue in Pisidian Antioch to speak a word of encouragement, Paul now stands up and motions with his hands to his audience as he begins proclaiming the gospel. His word of encouragement centered around what God alone could do for His people to fulfill His promise in bringing the Savior Jesus to them. God chose their forefathers of the faith and made them great during their time in Egypt (v.17). God led them out of Egypt with His uplifted arm (v.17). God patiently put up with them during the forty years of rebellion in the wilderness (v.18). God destroyed their enemies and gave them land as inheritance (v.19). God gave them judges to rescue them and govern them until the time of the prophet Samuel (v.20). *Likewise, when did God choose you? When has He led you out of sin’s bondage and addiction with His uplifted arm? How has God destroyed what would destroy you? What inheritance has God given to you? Who are the judges of His Word that God has given to you? How is the life of the Israelites the foreshadow of your true exodus/exit out of the former life into the newness of life in Jesus Christ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [v.21-23] Although the LORD God was their King, they asked for an earthly king to be like all the other godless nations around them. However, they soon found out how no earthly king, like Saul, could ever be perfectly obedient, holy, and righteous like the King of all kings in heaven. Yet even after the removal of Saul as king, God was gracious to raise up another earthly king, finding in him a man after his own heart (David). Through David’s distant offspring, God foretells His promise to bring the Savior Jesus to them (2 Samuel 7:12-13), whom He sends in the fullness of time (Galatians 4:4). *How are you asking for something that is not on the heart of God? How has God granted in His grace what you had asked for, only to be taught by God a lesson that your request was not a wise nor a godly one? What “kings” do you desire on earth to follow and have apart from King Jesus Christ? What makes Jesus’ kingship different from any other earthly king? Like David hoped for, how can you be building a house, throne, and kingdom that will live beyond your lifetime? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [v.24-25] Paul explains that John’s baptism could only turn someone away from sin through repentance. However, Jesus’ baptism in the Holy Spirit can wash away all sin and bring birth in the newness of life. *As John denied He was the Christ and instead prepared the way for Christ, are you denying or affirming your worthiness before King Jesus? Are you preparing or blocking His way? [Korean translation] 하나님께서는 약속하신 대로 구주 예수님을 세우셨다 (사도행전 13:16-25) (1.) [16-20절] 피시디아 안디옥 회당 지도자들의 초청으로 격려의 말씀을 전하러 간 바울은 일어서서 손짓하며 청중에게 복음을 선포하기 시작했습니다. 그의 격려의 말은 오직 하나님만이 자신의 백성을 위해, 즉 구주 예수님을 그들에게 보내시겠다는 약속을 어떻게 성취하실 수 있는지에 초점을 맞추었습니다. 하나님은 믿음의 조상들을 택하시고 이집트에 계실 때 그들을 크게 하셨습니다(17절). 하나님은 당신의 팔을 높이 드신 것으로 그들을 이집트에서 인도해 내셨습니다(17절). 하나님은 광야에서 40년 동안 반역하는 그들을 참아내셨습니다(18절). 하나님은 그들의 원수를 멸하시고 그들에게 땅을 기업으로 주셨습니다(19절). 하나님은 선지자 사무엘 시대까지 그들을 구원하고 다스릴 재판관들을 세우셨습니다(20절). *마찬가지로, 하나님은 언제 당신을 택하셨습니까? 하나님은 언제 당신의 팔을 높이 드신 것으로 당신을 죄의 속박과 중독에서 구원해 내셨습니까? 하나님은 당신을 파멸시키려는 것을 어떻게 멸하셨습니까? 하나님은 당신에게 어떤 기업을 주셨습니까? 하나님께서 당신에게 주신 말씀에 대한 심판자는 누구입니까? 이스라엘 백성의 삶은 어떻게 당신이 이전 삶에서 벗어나 예수 그리스도 안에서 새 삶으로 들어가는 진정한 출애굽을 예표합니까? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [21-23절] 여호와 하나님이 그들의 왕이셨음에도 불구하고, 그들은 주변의 다른 불경건한 민족들처럼 지상의 왕을 요구했습니다. 그러나 그들은 곧 사울과 같은 지상의 왕은 하늘에 계신 만왕의 왕처럼 완벽하게 순종하고 거룩하고 의로울 수 없다는 것을 깨달았습니다. 사울이 왕위에서 물러난 후에도 하나님은 은혜롭게도 또 다른 지상의 왕을 세우셨는데, 그 왕은 하나님의 마음에 합한 사람이었습니다(다윗). 하나님은 다윗의 먼 후손을 통해 그들에게 구원자 예수님을 보내시겠다는 약속을 예언하셨고(사무엘하 7:12-13), 그분은 때가 차면 예수님을 보내실 것입니다(갈라디아서 4:4). *당신은 하나님의 마음에 합당하지 않은 것을 어떻게 구하고 있습니까? 하나님께서 은혜로 당신의 요청을 들어주셨지만, 나중에 당신의 요청이 지혜롭지도 않고 경건하지도 않았다는 교훈을 하나님께 받은 적이 있습니까? 예수 그리스도 외에 어떤 “왕”을 따르고 싶어 하십니까? 예수님의 왕권이 세상의 다른 왕들과 다른 점은 무엇일까요? 다윗이 소망했던 것처럼, 여러분은 어떻게 하면 여러분의 생애를 넘어 영원히 지속될 집과 왕좌와 왕국을 건설할 수 있을까요? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [24-25절] 바울은 요한의 세례는 회개를 통해서만 죄에서 돌아서게 할 수 있다고 설명합니다. 그러나 예수님의 성령 세례는 모든 죄를 씻어내고 새 생명으로 거듭나게 합니다. *요한이 예수님을 부인하고 그리스도를 위한 길을 예비했던 것처럼, 당신은 왕이신 예수님 앞에서 당신의 가치를 부인하고 있습니까, 아니면 인정하고 있습니까? 당신은 그분의 길을 예비하고 있습니까, 아니면 막고 있습니까? *KINGDOM EXPANSION PRAYER – Deacon Waywah Gee will lead us in this week’s Kingdom expansion responsive Scripture reading and prayer. |
