“Pray for the Intent of Your Heart, What Money Cannot Buy” (ACTS 8:14-25) (1.) [v.14-17] When the apostles at Jerusalem heard that the Samaritans had received the word of God through Deacon Philip’s preaching, what did they do and why (v.14-16)? What happened when the apostles laid their prayerful hands on the Samaritans (v.17)? The delay of the holy Spirit falling upon the Samaritans until Peter and John laid prayerful hands on them signifies God’s heart for the covenant unity of His Church through the giving of the holy Spirit. How does the holy Spirit need to bring us into greater reconciliation and covenant with one another? How is the filling of the holy Spirit and the work of the Spirit being delayed because of prayerless disunity and division within Christ’s body with other brothers/sisters in Christ, with our spouse/children, with our church family? How can we be sent to extend prayerful hands of the Spirit’s embrace? How is the Spirit calling us to submit to spiritual authority placed over us, waiting for their prayers and conferral of blessing? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [v.18-23] When Simon (the former magician/sorcerer) saw that the Spirit was given by the hands of the apostles, what did he do (v.18-19)? How did Peter respond to Simon’s request to buy the power of the Spirit (v.20-32)? When you see the Spirit at work, filling the hearts of His people with prayerful hands, do you desire to have it too? With what intent in your heart do you desire it? How has the way we use money corrupted the intent of our hearts to honor and submit to the Spirit? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [v.24-25] What does Simon request after hearing Peter’s rebuke (v.24)? After Simon’s repentance, what were the apostles able to do in many villages of the Samaritans (v.25)? How do you react to godly rebuke? How can our humble repentance unleash revival to many other people who need to do the same? [Korean translation] “돈으로 살 수 없는 마음에 품은 것을 기도하라” (사도행전 8:14-25) (1.) [14-17절] 예루살렘의 사도들은 사마리아인들이 빌립 집사의 설교를 통해 하나님의 말씀을 받았다는 소식을 듣고 무엇을 했으며, 그 이유는 무엇입니까(14-16절)? 사도들이 사마리아인들에게 기도하는 손을 얹었을 때 무슨 일이 일어났습니까(17절)? 베드로와 요한이 기도하는 손을 얹을 때까지 성령이 사마리아인들에게 임하지 않은 것은 성령을 주시고자 하는 하나님의 마음을 상징합니다. 성령께서 우리를 서로 더 큰 화해와 언약으로 인도하시기 위해 어떻게 해야 합니까? 그리스도의 몸 안에서 다른 형제자매들, 배우자/자녀들, 교회 가족들과 기도 없이 분열과 불화가 일어나 성령 충만과 성령의 역사가 어떻게 지연되고 있습니까? 우리는 어떻게 성령의 기도하는 손을 내밀어 그들을 품도록 보내질 수 있습니까? 성령께서는 어떻게 우리에게 영적 권위에 복종하고, 기도와 축복을 기다리라고 부르시는가? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [18-23절] 시몬(예전 마술사/마법사)은 사도들의 손으로 성령이 주어지는 것을 보고 어떻게 했습니까(18-19절)? 베드로는 시몬이 성령의 능력을 사 달라는 요청에 어떻게 반응했습니까(20-32절)? 성령께서 역사하시어 그분의 백성들의 마음을 기도하는 손으로 채우시는 것을 볼 때, 당신도 그 성령을 받기를 원합니까? 당신의 마음속에는 어떤 의도가 있습니까? 우리가 돈을 사용하는 방식이 성령을 공경하고 그분께 복종하려는 우리 마음의 의도를 어떻게 타락시켰습니까? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [24-25절] 시몬은 베드로의 책망을 듣고 무엇을 구합니까(24절)? 시몬이 회개한 후, 사도들은 사마리아 사람들의 여러 마을에서 무엇을 할 수 있었습니까(25절)? 당신은 경건한 책망에 어떻게 반응합니까? 우리의 겸손한 회개는 어떻게 같은 부흥이 필요한 많은 사람들에게 부흥을 불러일으킬 수 있습니까? *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 praises to God for completion of Minister Dr. Will Zhao’s ordination; Homegoing of Korean Deacon Tae-Kwon Lee; Desserts & Table/Chairs Cleanup Ministry; Healing of Jihoon’s ankle/foot. Scripture: And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.” (ISAIAH 6:8) Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” (JOHN 11:25-26) He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. (1 PETER 2:24) Prayer (by Pastor Chester): Heavenly Father, we lift up to You a heart that gives thanks, for You alone are good, and Your steadfast love endures forever. With You, no circumstance can keep us from thanking You and rejoicing in You always. So we give You thanks with a grateful heart, for what You have done in completing the pastoral ordination journey of Your servant, Minister Will Zhao. Thank You for giving our Pastor an opportunity to spiritually invest and mentor his time, and finishing the journey with him. Make Minister Zhao the servant like Isaiah, who said, “Here I am, Lord, send me!” May great ministry await him and great glory be given to You through Minister Zhao’s pastoral life. Thank You for giving us the opportunity to pray for and meet him. Father God, we also thank You for giving us the honor to know and meet the late Deacon Tae-Kwon Lee. We thank You for His godly example and life as an offering to You and legacy of Christ to us. May we never forget His servant’s heart in the background washing dishes, mopping floors, cleaning tables. May we relive the servant heart of Jesus we saw through him. Receive Your servant, Deacon Tae-Kwon Lee, into Your everlasting arms, and wipe away every tear from his two children and widowed wife, that You may restore the joy of their salvation that will be joined to his with You at the last day. Though we die, we shall live, all who believe and live shall never die, as You promised. So also Your life remains for sister Jihoon. Get her up and walking in fuller strength. Put back together her ankle, joints, and foot. Bring Jihoon and Elena back to us safely., For by Your wounds, we are all healed with the body that bore our sins on that tree. In the Name of the our Lead Servant, Resurrection, and Healer, Jesus Christ our Lord we pray, Amen & amen.

*TODAY’S PRAISE SONGS! – Practice them and be ready to sing this morning! Praise on, brothers and sisters! (1) House of the Lord; (2) Our God & How Great Thou Art; (3-response praise) I Speak Jesus  *TODAY’S BREAKOUT DISCUSSION GROUPS after-service in the gymnasium cafeteria – Today, spend some time in your group tables (group# found in the note page of your bulletin) and share the life of the preached Word. Pre-read, think through, and share this spiritual food in discussion with one another! “Pay Attention to the Real Great Power of God from the Greatest One” (ACTS 8:5-13) (1.) [v.5-8] God raises up another Deacon to carry on the work of Deacon Stephen. Stephen had been martyred, but God raised up Philip, who was among the seven Deacons chosen with Stephen (see Acts 6:5 and Acts 21:8) to bring the gospel to the city of Samaria. When Deacon Philip proclaimed Christ to the Samaritans, how did they listen (v.6)? What happened to many who had unclean spirits and disabilities (v.7)? What did they have in abundance (v.8)? Are you paying attention to what is being said when Christ is proclaimed? What is distracting you from being attentive to the proclamation of the gospel? How is the holy Spirit identifying your unclean spirits? What evil spirits are crippling, paralyzing, and weakening your walk with Christ? How is the holy Spirit desiring to deliver you into His great joy? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [v.9-11] In Samaria, we are introduced to a magician named Simon. How did the Samaritans react to Simon’s magic/sorcery and what did they say about Simon (v.9-11)? The contrast between Deacon Philip and Simon cannot be clearer. One was a proclaimer of the greatness of Christ while another was the receiver of greatness belonging to Christ. From the least to the greatest in this generation, who is everyone paying attention to for greatness? What are you paying attention to for its amazement and greatness that are fabrications of God’s greatness and power? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [v.12-13] In Samaria, the magician Simon was considered great. But what happened when the Samaritans believed Deacon Philip’s preaching of the good news about Christ (v.12)? Who else believed and was amazed at Deacon Philip’s great miracles (v.13)? How have you believed the gospel and obeyed to receive the covenant sign of baptism? Like Simon, how can we believe and be baptized, yet still have wrong motives with an unclean heart (see v.18-24)? [Korean translation] “가장 큰 이에게서 나오는 참된 일컫는 하나님의 능력을 따르라” (사도행전 8:5-13) (1.) [5-8절] 하나님께서는 스데반 집사의 사역을 이어받을 또 다른 집사를 일으키십니다. 스데반은 순교했지만, 하나님께서는 스데반과 함께 택함받은 일곱 집사 중 한 명인 빌립을 일으키셔서(행 6:5, 21:8 참조) 사마리아 성에 복음을 전하게 하셨습니다. 빌립 집사가 사마리아 사람들에게 그리스도를 전파했을 때, 그들은 어떻게 귀 기울였습니까(6절)? 더러운 영과 병약함을 가진 많은 사람들에게 무슨 일이 일어났습니까(7절)? 그들은 무엇을 풍성하게 가졌습니까(8절)? 그리스도께서 전파될 때, 당신은 말씀에 주의를 기울이고 있습니까? 복음 전파에 집중하지 못하게 하는 것은 무엇입니까? 성령께서는 당신의 더러운 영을 어떻게 분별하십니까? 어떤 악령들이 그리스도와 함께 걷는 당신의 삶을 불구로 만들고, 마비시키고, 약화시키고 있습니까? 성령께서는 어떻게 당신을 그분의 큰 기쁨으로 인도하기를 원하십니까? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [9-11절] 사마리아에서 우리는 시몬이라는 마술사를 만납니다. 사마리아 사람들은 시몬의 마술에 어떻게 반응했고, 시몬에 대해 무엇이라고 말했습니까(9-11절)? 빌립 집사와 시몬의 대조는 이보다 더 분명할 수 없습니다. 한 사람은 그리스도의 위대함을 선포하는 사람이었고, 다른 한 사람은 그리스도께 속한 위대함을 받는 사람이었습니다. 이 세대에서 가장 작은 자부터 가장 큰 자까지, 모든 사람이 위대함에 관심을 기울이는 사람은 누구입니까? 하나님의 위대함과 능력을 만들어낸 놀라움과 위대함에 대해 당신은 무엇에 관심을 기울이고 있습니까? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [12-13절] 사마리아에서 마술사 시몬은 위대한 인물로 여겨졌습니다. 그러나 사마리아 사람들이 빌립 집사가 전하는 그리스도에 대한 복음을 믿었을 때(12절) 어떤 일이 일어났습니까? 빌립 집사의 놀라운 기적들을 믿고 놀랐던 사람들은 또 누구였습니까(13절)? 당신은 어떻게 복음을 믿고 세례라는 언약의 표징을 받기 위해 순종했습니까? 시몬처럼 우리도 어떻게 믿고 세례를 받았지만, 여전히 부정한 마음으로 잘못된 동기를 가질 수 있습니까(18-24절 참조)? *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 the blessings of the Upcoming November ministries, especially Thanksgiving season. Scripture: Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever! (PSALM 107:1) Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (1 THESSALONIANS 5:16-18) Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. (PHILIPPIANS 4:6) Prayer (by Pastor Chester): Heavenly Father, as the world prepares this week for a celebration and glorification of hallowing darkness, disguise, death, fear, gore, and trickery, we hallow Your Name that brings life, light, revelation, joy, faith, eternal life, and the greatest gifted treat of all – the sending of Your only Son so that we might not perish, but have everlasting life in His Name. At the name of Jesus, may our hearts swell with giving thanks for His grace as we approach this new Thanksgiving season of November. The leaves fall and season change to winter, but You, O God, never change, for You are always good, and Your steadfast love endures forever. So we give thanks to You, Lord, for all that You’ve done. Thank You for adding to our number through the covenant partnership of brother Timothy Sung, making your Church stronger. All thanks be to You for the Christmas shoebox project, our small part in providing for Your children around the world. All thanks be given to You for our new ordained officers, our opportunity to serve the tables/chairs setup ministry for November, the extra hour of rest in daylight savings next week, our congregational meeting next week which You’ve kept the financial health of Your Church, the desserts ministry next week, our honored staff members who have served so faithfully the past year, our life groups sharing Christ-centered community, our Thanksgiving family worship and communion we will share around Your table. All thanks be to You for all the birthdays – sister Stacy Hong today, brother Eric Sung next week, Mrs. Hanna Park samonim, Joseph Ko, Emma Jeng, and sister Winnie Kim. Thank You for the new friends we’ve seen again through Chris and through Sarah. Let us rejoice us this November, pray without ceasing, giving thanks in all circumstances, for this is Your will for us in Christ Jesus. Let us not be anxious about anything, but in everything freely bring it in prayer with a humble, earnest, desperation before You, with a thankful heart, letting every request be made known to You, through the Hearer and Answer of all of our prayers and worthy of all thanks, our risen Lord and Savior Jesus Christ we pray, Amen & amen. *WELCOME to HOSANNA! – *Warmest welcome to all of you, especially if you are visiting or re-visiting!

 *TODAY’S PRAISE SONGS! – Practice them and be ready to sing this morning! Praise on, brothers and sisters! (1) The Saving One; (2) Thank You Jesus for the Blood; (3-response praise) Fairest Lord Jesus (verses 1 & 4) & The Cause of Christ *TODAY’S BREAKOUT DISCUSSION GROUPS after-service in the gymnasium cafeteria – Today, spend some time in your group tables (group# found in the note page of your bulletin) and share the life of the preached Word. Pre-read, think through, and share this spiritual food in discussion with one another! “Gather to be Scattered with Gospel Seeds Watered by Persecuted Blood” (ACTS 8:1-4) (1.) [v.1a] What was Saul doing while Deacon Stephen was being stoned to death? Later, did the apostle Paul come to repent of this (see 1 Corinthians 15:9)? How have you once approved what you really should have denied? In this verse, the word “approved” can also mean “to be pleased with and agree that it is good.” In Christ, how has sin that once pleased you now a source of displeasure? In Christ, how can worldly pleasures we once agreed were good become what we deny and depart from in the power of the holy Spirit? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [v.1b-2] On the day that Deacon Stephen was executed, what arose against the church in Jerusalem (v.1b)? What happened to all the servants of God like Deacon Stephen (v.1b)? Although public lamentation/mourning was considered inappropriate for an executed individual (according to the rabbinic text called the Mishnah), what did “devout men” do with the body of Deacon Stephen (v.2)? How should living as a Christian become harder instead of easier, just as persecution increased instead of decreased in the days of Deacon Stephen? How did God use even great persecution against the Church to take the gospel beyond Jerusalem, fulfilling His promise from Acts 1:8? How is God’s mission always set on scattering with gospel seeds what we are equipped with in our gatherings as His Church? How ought we gather to further scatter gospel seeds? If we are the scattered gospel seeds, what must we do to bear much fruit through our seeds (see John 12:24)? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [v.3-4] While the scattering of gospel seeds increased, what also increased through Saul (v.3; see also Acts 26:9-11)? Wherever the servants of God were scattered, what did they do (v.4)? How have we increased gathering while decreased scattering as His Church? How can we share the gospel where God has scattered us? [Korean translation] “핍박받는 피에 물을 받아 복음의 씨앗을 뿌려 흩어지기 위해 모여라” (사도행전 8:1-4) (1.) [1절 상] 스데반 집사가 돌에 맞아 죽는 동안 사울은 무엇을 하고 있었습니까? 후에 사도 바울은 이 일을 회개했습니까(고린도전서 15:9 참조)? 당신은 어떻게 과거에 부인해야 했던 것을 인정했습니까? 이 구절에서 “인정했다”라는 단어는 “기뻐하고 선하다고 동의하다”는 의미도 가질 수 있습니다. 그리스도 안에서, 한때 당신을 기쁘게 했던 죄가 어떻게 이제는 불쾌함의 원인이 되었습니까? 그리스도 안에서, 우리가 한때 선하다고 동의했던 세상적인 쾌락이 어떻게 성령의 능력 안에서 우리가 부인하고 떠나는 것이 될 수 있습니까? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [1절하-2절] 스데반 집사가 처형되던 날, 예루살렘 교회에 무슨 일이 일어났습니까(1절하)? 스데반 집사와 같은 하나님의 모든 종들은 어떻게 되었습니까(1절하)? 처형당한 사람에게 공개적으로 애도하는 것은 부적절한 일로 여겨졌지만(랍비 경전인 미슈나에 따르면), "경건한 사람들"은 스데반 집사의 시신을 어떻게 처리했습니까(2절)? 스데반 집사 시대에 박해가 줄어들기보다는 오히려 늘어났듯이, 그리스도인으로서의 삶은 어떻게 더 쉬워지기보다는 더 어려워져야 합니까? 하나님께서는 어떻게 교회에 대한 큰 박해를 통해 복음을 예루살렘 너머로 전파하여 사도행전 1장 8절의 약속을 이루셨습니까? 하나님의 사명은 어떻게 우리가 그분의 교회로서 모인 모임에 복음의 씨앗을 뿌리는 데 항상 집중되어 있습니까? 우리는 어떻게 모여서 복음의 씨앗을 더 뿌려야 합니까? 우리가 흩어진 복음의 씨앗이라면, 우리 씨앗을 통해 많은 열매를 맺기 위해 무엇을 해야 할까요?(요한복음 12:24 참조) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [3-4절] 복음의 씨앗이 흩어지는 일이 늘어나는 동안, 사울을 통해 무엇이 더욱 커졌습니까(3절; 사도행전 26:9-11 참조)? 하나님의 종들이 흩어진 곳마다 그들은 무엇을 했습니까(4절)? 우리는 그분의 교회로서 흩어지는 일을 줄이는 동시에 어떻게 모이는 일을 늘렸습니까? 하나님께서 우리를 흩으신 곳에서 우리는 어떻게 복음을 전할 수 있습니까? *UPCOMING (*notice some dates may have changed) –

*KINGDOM EXPANSION PRAYER – This week’s Kingdom expansion prayers will focus on the blessings of the 2025 “LIFT UP YOUR EYES” (John 4:35) HOSANNA FALL RETREAT. Scripture: Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest. (JOHN 4:35) The Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, “Lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward, for all the land that you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever. (GENESIS 13:14-15) I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. (PSALM 121:1-4) Prayer (by Pastor Chester): Heavenly Father, we give thanks to You for granting us our very first retreat as a Hosanna Church family. Thank You for each one You have called, who made space for this sacred time, to retreat away from our daily tasks, our daily routines, to break free from our daily schedules, so that Your Spirit might make us one to be together and to seek Your face through Your Word. Lord Jesus, thank You for providing Reverend Brian Hsieh to preach to us Your message, illuminating our minds with the holy Spirit’s urging to look at You, repent before You, to exercise our servanthood with You, and to remember Your call upon our lives to follow after You. Whether we were there in body physically or in spirit prayerfully, heavenly Father, keep our eyes lifted to You and off of ourselves this third year of life as Hosanna Church under the leadership of our new ordained Elders and Deacons. The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are so few. So send us all, Lord, as Hosanna, into Your harvest field. Help us see now Your fields are white for harvest. Like You promised to Abram and likewise to us, lift up our eyes to look from where we are, to look and see the Kingdom where You long to give to us now and into eternity, that Kingdom coming upon this land in Carrollton and north Dallas and out to the nations. You have given this land of Your lost souls and precious sheep to be gathered into Your Church. You have given it to us and to our offspring after us forever. We do not lift up our eyes to the hills, but to You, O LORD the Creator of every hill, our Helper and Redeemer, who made heaven and earth. You will not let our foot be moved! You who keeps us will neither slumber nor sleep. Through the Lifter-Up of our eyes and souls, our Lord Jesus Christ’s Name, in this powerful new season of harvest for Your Hosanna Church we pray, Amen & amen. *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!

*TODAY’S PRAISE SONGS! – Practice them and be ready to sing this morning! Praise on, brothers and sisters! (1) Look to Jesus ; (2) Miracle Maker; (3) Be Thou My Vision; (4-response praise) Run to the Father  *TODAY’S BREAKOUT DISCUSSION GROUPS after-service in the gymnasium cafeteria – Today, spend some time in your group tables (group# found in the note page of your bulletin) and share the life of the preached Word. Pre-read, think through, and share this spiritual food in discussion with one another! “Lift Up Your Eyes: Remember” (JOHN 21:1-13) (1.) [Reflect] How did Pastor Hsieh call us to lift up our eyes upon Jesus by the spiritual discipline of remembering? For however long we have followed Christ already, and however much longer we have remaining to do so on earth, how can we endure faithfully? What did it take to follow Jesus on your first day? What will it take to follow Jesus until the last day of your earthly life? Describe your personal encounter with Jesus’ initial calling and command on your life to follow Him. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [v.1-8] How did Peter forget Jesus’ initial calling on his life by returning to his former profession (v.1-3)? Was Peter successful in it (v.3)? Early the next morning at daybreak, Jesus stood on the shore. Although Peter and the other disciples did not recognize Jesus nor had they caught any fish all night, what did Jesus ask them to do (v.4-6)? What happened to their nets, as well as their minds, when they obeyed what Jesus had told them to do (v.6-8)? Read Luke 5:1-11 on how Jesus initially called Peter. How was Jesus repeating His calling to Peter? How has Jesus repeated His encounter with you to keep you faithful to His calling on your life? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [v.9-13] What had Jesus already prepared on the shore, desiring also to take the fish they caught to (v.9-11)? Why didn’t any of the disciples dare ask, “Who are you?” to Jesus (v.12)? Did Jesus wait to be served, or did He serve them first, even as their Lord (v.13)? How is Jesus preparing breakfast for you and serving you daily?  [Korean translation] “너의 눈을 들어라: 기억하라” (요한복음 7:54-60)
(1.) [묵상] 셰 목사님은 우리에게 기억하는 영적 훈련을 통해 예수님을 바라보라고 어떻게 말씀하셨습니까? 우리가 이미 그리스도를 따라온 지 얼마나 되었고, 이 땅에서 그리스도를 따를 시간이 얼마나 남았는지 생각해 보십시오. 우리는 어떻게 충실하게 살아갈 수 있습니까? 첫날 예수님을 따르는 데 무엇이 필요했습니까? 이 땅에서의 마지막 날까지 예수님을 따르는 데 무엇이 필요할까요? 예수님께서 당신의 삶에 주신 첫 부르심과 명령을 직접 경험한 경험을 이야기해 보십시오. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [1-8절] 베드로는 어떻게 예수님의 첫 부르심을 잊고 이전 직업으로 돌아갔습니까(1-3절)? 베드로는 성공했습니까(3절)? 다음 날 아침 일찍 동이 틀 무렵, 예수님께서 해변에 서 계셨습니다. 베드로와 다른 제자들은 예수님을 알아보지 못했고 밤새도록 고기도 잡지 못했지만, 예수님께서는 그들에게 무엇을 하라고 하셨습니까(4-6절)? 예수님께서 하라고 하신 말씀에 순종했을 때, 그들의 그물과 마음에는 어떤 일이 일어났습니까(6-8절)? 예수님께서 베드로를 처음 부르신 방법에 대해 누가복음 5장 1-11절을 읽어 보십시오. 예수님께서 베드로를 어떻게 부르셨습니까? 예수님께서는 당신을 만나셔서 당신의 부르심에 충실하게 하셨습니까? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [9-13절] 예수님께서는 잡은 물고기를 바다로 가져가시기 위해 바닷가에서 이미 무엇을 준비하셨습니까(9-11절)? 왜 제자들 중 아무도 예수님께 “당신은 누구십니까?”라고 감히 묻지 못했습니까(12절)? 예수님께서는 섬김을 기다리셨습니까, 아니면 그들의 주님으로서 먼저 섬기셨습니까(13절)? 예수님께서는 당신을 위해 어떻게 아침 식사를 준비하고 매일 섬기고 계십니까? *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 SCRIPTURE READING - Today, we'll be reading the Scripture portion only together. The Scripture is from John 21:1-13. I will read verse 1-3. You will read verse 4-8. We will read together verse 9-13. 1 After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias, and he revealed himself in this way. 2 Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. 3 Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We will go with you.” They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. 4 Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. 5 Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” They answered him, “No.” 6 He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish. 7 That disciple whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment, for he was stripped for work, and threw himself into the sea. 8 The other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, but about a hundred yards off. 9 When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire in place, with fish laid out on it, and bread. 10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.” 11 So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, 153 of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn. 12 Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” Now none of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and so with the fish. *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! We welcome you into this family of Christ’s loving arms and remain here for you as His body to grow and flourish together! *DISMISSAL of children (kinder to 5th grade) to Children’s Ministry and Youth Group to Bible study + Lunch! – At this time, children from kindergarten to 5th grade can head over to Minister Sewon Cho’s children’s ministry – please proceed to the children’s chapel down the hallway to the left! And youth group can head to your Bible study and lunch hour with Rev.

 *2025 “LIFT UP YOUR EYES” (John 4:35) HOSANNA FALL RETREAT, 10/10-12 (Fri-Sun) SPECIAL GUEST PREACHER! – Let’s honor and give thanks to the Lord for our guest preacher by giving him our full attention and hearts to the Lord! Rev. Brian Hsieh, Associate Pastor, English Ministry of Collin County Chinese Fellowship Church, Plano, TX. Rev. Brian Hsieh grew up in the Tampa Bay area in Florida. During his studies at the University of Florida, he had the opportunity to serve on campus, and help in the youth and children ministries at a local church. It was during this time that the Lord gave him a passion for full-time ministry, and upon graduating, he moved to Dallas to attend seminary at Dallas Theological Seminary, where he received the Master of Theology degree in 2011. From 2010-2020, Pastor Brian served as youth and then English Pastor at Plano Chinese Alliance Church. He joined the staff at Collin County Chinese Fellowship Church in 2022. Brian is married to Nelly, and together they have a daughter, Emery. Their hope and heart in serving in the Chinese church is that while language and culture may be the common ground that initially brings us together, it would be superseded by our new identity in Christ as believers. *Let us remember Pastor Brian in our prayers and be ready to receive God’s Word through him. *BEGINNING THIS FRIDAY!!! – 2025 “LIFT UP YOUR EYES” (John 4:35) HOSANNA FALL RETREAT, 10/10-12 (Fri-Sun)! – "Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest." (JOHN 4:35). Through this blessed retreat on Columbus Day weekend, we hope to be encouraged to lift up our eyes and keep looking to Christ in all things, enduring faithfully in serving His great harvest that is ready right now! *Retreat will take place from Friday evening to Saturday evening at an Airbnb Ranch-style home in McKinney, and conclude at our church facility in Ezra Chapel on Sunday morning at 10:30am Sunday morning worship. Attendees are welcomed to stay at the Airbnb Friday evening until Sunday morning, or come-and-go as needed.
*ALL-CONGREGATION PRAYERS – As Scripture commands us, let us pray for one another, especially those who are sick/ill physically among us (JAMES 5:14-15; 3 JOHN 1:2) as well as special topics needing our attentive intercession.
*TODAY: SUNDAY (10/5) –
*UPCOMING NEXT WEEK –
*TODAY’S PRAISE SONGS! – Practice them and be ready to sing this morning! Praise on, brothers and sisters! (1) Worthy; (2) Hymn of Heaven; (3) The Jesus Way *TODAY’S BREAKOUT DISCUSSION GROUPS after-service in the gymnasium cafeteria – Today, spend some time in your group tables (group# found in the note page of your bulletin) and share the life of the preached Word. Pre-read, think through, and share this spiritual food in discussion with one another! “See the Heavens Opened, with Christ’s Standing Ovation” (ACTS 7:54-60) (1.) [v.54-56] After Deacon Stephen finished his sermon, how did his hearers respond (v.54)? Despite their response, what filled Deacon Stephen and what did his eyes see as he gazed into heaven (v.55-56)? According to the prophecy about Jesus in Psalm 110:1, is Jesus normally sitting or standing at the right hand of the Father God? Why was the Lord Jesus standing instead of sitting? Like Deacon Stephen, if you were to gaze into heaven and see the glory of God, would Jesus be sitting or standing at seeing your life and testimony for Him? How is the Holy Spirit moving you to live for the applause and standing ovation of Christ instead of this world? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [v.57-58] When the council heard Deacon Stephen speaking of Christ’s standing ovation at his sermon, what did they do (v.57-58)? What did those who witnessed the stoning of Deacon Stephen do with their garments, acknowledging the person who was overseeing and approving the execution (v.58)? We focus a lot about living well for the glory of Christ, but how can we prepare to die well for the glory of Christ? How can your death as a matured person in Christ be the birth of a young Saul/Paul for Christ? How can your faithful witness for Christ be another’s life transformation in Christ? By our temporal lives, how can we influence and raise the next generation of the apostle Paul’s, Pastors, Elders, Deacons, Worship leaders, etc? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [v.59-60] As they were stoning Deacon Stephen, what two requests did he call out to the Lord Jesus to do (v.59-60)? After Deacon Stephen said these things, how is his death described (v.60)? How are you holding the wounds of those who sinned against you? Have you forgiven them, turning your wounds into scars? In Christ, how is death like falling asleep and then to wake back up again? How are we never going to die? [Korean translation] “하늘이 열리고, 그리스도께서 서신 것을 보라” (사도행전 7:54-60) (1.) [54-56절] 스데반 집사가 설교를 마치자 청중들은 어떻게 반응했습니까(54절)? 그들의 반응에도 불구하고, 스데반 집사는 무엇이 가득 차고 하늘을 우러러보았을 때 무엇을 보았습니까(55-56절)? 시편 110편 1절에 나오는 예수님에 대한 예언에 따르면, 예수님은 보통 아버지 하나님 우편에 앉아 계십니까, 아니면 서 계십니까? 왜 주 예수님은 앉아 계시지 않고 서 계셨습니까? 스데반 집사처럼, 만약 당신이 하늘을 우러러보고 하나님의 영광을 본다면, 예수님은 당신의 삶과 그분에 대한 간증을 보시며 앉아 계실까요, 아니면 서 계실까요? 성령께서는 어떻게 당신을 이 세상이 아닌 그리스도의 박수와 기립 박수를 위해 살도록 인도하고 계십니까? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [v.57-58] 공의회는 스데반 집사가 설교에서 그리스도께서 기립 박수를 받으신 것에 대해 말하는 것을 듣고 무엇을 했습니까(v.57-58)? 스데반 집사가 돌에 맞아 죽는 것을 목격한 사람들은 처형을 감독하고 승인한 사람을 인정하며 옷을 어떻게 입었습니까(v.58)? 우리는 그리스도의 영광을 위해 잘 사는 것에 많은 초점을 맞추지만, 그리스도의 영광을 위해 잘 죽을 준비를 어떻게 할 수 있습니까? 그리스도 안에서 성숙한 사람으로서의 당신의 죽음이 어떻게 그리스도를 위한 젊은 사울/바울의 탄생이 될 수 있습니까? 그리스도를 위한 당신의 충실한 증거가 어떻게 다른 사람의 삶의 변화가 될 수 있습니까? 우리의 현세적인 삶을 통해 사도 바울의 다음 세대, 목사, 장로, 집사, 예배 지도자 등에게 어떻게 영향을 미치고 양육할 수 있습니까? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [59-60절] 그들이 스데반 집사를 돌로 쳐 죽일 때, 그는 주 예수님께 어떤 두 가지 간구를 드렸습니까(59-60절)? 스데반 집사가 이 말을 한 후, 그의 죽음은 어떻게 묘사됩니까(60절)? 당신은 당신에게 죄를 지은 사람들의 상처를 어떻게 받아들이고 있습니까? 당신은 그들을 용서하여 당신의 상처를 흉터로 만들었습니까? 그리스도 안에서 죽음은 어떻게 잠들었다가 다시 깨어나는 것과 같습니까? 어떻게 우리가 결코 죽지 않을 수 있습니까? *UPCOMING (*notice some dates may have changed) –

Scripture: Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest. (JOHN 4:35) The Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, “Lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward, for all the land that you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever.

He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. (PSALM 121:1-4) Prayer (by Pastor Chester): Heavenly Father, we lift up to You again our very first retreat as a Hosanna Church family. Thank You for each one You have called, to make space for this sacred time, to retreat away from our daily tasks, our daily routines, to break free from our daily schedules, so that Your Spirit might make us one to be together and to seek Your face through Your Word. We pray for Your servant, Reverend Brian Hsieh from Collin County Chinese Fellowship English Ministry. Illuminate his mind with insight into Your message that You desire to speak to our congregation. Fill his heart with Your affections to love our congregation with the faithful teaching and preaching of Your Word. Flow Your power through him as he delivers Your instructions to us. Heavenly Father, lift up our eyes to You into this third year of life as Hosanna Church under the leadership of our new ordained team. Guard them with Your Spirit! Make them one in Your Son! – Elder Nara, Elder Patrick, Deacon Jonathan, Deacon Juhae, Deacon Chong, Deacon Waywah, Deacon Gloria! The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are so few. So send us all, Lord, as Hosanna, into Your harvest field. Help us see now Your fields are white for harvest. Like You promised to Abram and likewise to us, lift up our eyes to look from where we are, to look and see the Kingdom where You long to give to us now and into eternity, that Kingdom coming upon this land in Carrollton and north Dallas and out to the nations. You have given this land of Your lost souls and precious sheep to be gathered into Your Church. You have given it to us and to our offspring after us forever. We do not lift up our eyes to the hills, but to You, O LORD the Creator of every hill, our Helper and Redeemer, who made heaven and earth. You will not let our foot be moved! You who keeps us will neither slumber nor sleep. Through the Lifter-Up of our eyes and souls, our Lord Jesus Christ’s Name, in this powerful new season of harvest for Your Hosanna Church we pray, Amen & amen. |
