*MISSED LAST SUNDAY? – We missed you and hope you had a chance to worship and rest in the Lord and His people! Due to the pastoral break, we had a special guest preacher, Minister Dr. Will Zhihui Zhao, who brought to us an important lesson on prayer, The Praying Church (LUKE 11:1-13). Re-watch here: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1egW-lUaRDk). **You can always join us virtually livestream wherever you are in the world at our livestream webpage, every Sunday morning at 10:30am (CDT – central time): https://www.youtube.com/@HosannaPresbyterianChurch/streams *HAPPY BIRTHDAY TODAY to BROTHER EUGENE HONG! – We love you in the Lord and appreciate your presence in this covenant family.

Your nomination should have been verified with an email from [email protected]. If you did no receive a verification email, this means your nomination was not submitted properly and the Session is unaware of it.

Amen.  *SAFE RETURN FROM PASTORAL BREAK – Pastor and family have returned safely to Dallas after a brief break, reflection, and restoration period in the Houston area. They are thankful to the Lord and to the Hosanna congregation for the gracious break time.
*PRAYER FOR THE ILL AND SICK – “Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up… Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.” (JAMES 5:14-15; 3 JOHN 1:2). Scripture commands us to hold in prayer especially those who are ill and sick amongst us. *If you find yourself ill/sick or a family member or church family member, we encourage you to inform any of the Elders, Deacons, or Lay Servants so that we can lift one another up prayerfully as a healing and praying church! *From common allergies/colds to prolonged illnesses, may the healing touch of Jesus Christ reach us all so that He will receive the glory in healing us all! *Remember these precious souls and caregiving souls in our church family:

*UPCOMING NEXT WEEK –
*PRAISE SONGS for this SUNDAY! – Practice them and be ready to sing them on Sunday morning. Praise on, brothers and sisters! (1) Whom Shall I Fear; (2) His Name is Jesus; (3) The Cause of Christ *THIS SUNDAY’S BREAKOUT DISCUSSION GROUPS after-service in the gymnasium cafeteria – This Sunday, spend some time in your group tables and share the life of the preached Word. Pre-read, think through, and share this spiritual food in discussion with one another! “Rejoice that You are Counted Worthy to Suffer Dishonor for His Name” (ACTS 5:34-42). (1.) [v.34-37] How did Gamaliel – a respected teacher of the law and spiritual leader of that day – stand up against the rage and desire to kill the apostles by the temple leaders, and what example did he give for the temple leaders to consider? How has the holy Spirit stood up against my moments of rage or anger, and how has He brought calm and gentleness to bring me back to my senses? What are some examples in my own life that have brought damage, dispersion, and destruction due to uncontrolled rage and anger that was acted upon without a sound mind in Christ? How much more different is Jesus to me than Theudas or Judas the Galilean, both who came to be nothing? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [v.38-39] What was Gamaliel’s advice to the temple leaders in asking them to leave the apostles alone? How have I known a plan in my life has been the undertaking of my own invention or the movement of the plan of God? How have I been found opposing God instead of submitting to Him? How have I been found passive towards God instead of active on His mission? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [v.40-42] What did the temple leaders do before they released the apostles (v.40)? Yet, with what heart, mind, and action did the apostles leave their presence (v.41-42)? Even in dishonor and my suffering, how can I rejoice? [Korean translation] “그 이름을 위하여 능욕 받는 일에 합당한 자로 여기심을 기뻐하라”(사도행전 5:34-42) (1.) [34-37절] 당시 존경받는 율법 교사이자 영적 지도자였던 가말리엘은 성전 지도자들의 사도들을 죽이려는 분노와 욕망에 어떻게 맞섰으며, 성전 지도자들에게 어떤 본보기를 보였습니까? 성령께서는 제가 분노하거나 격노할 때 어떻게 맞서셨으며, 어떻게 저를 제정신으로 돌아오게 하기 위해 고요함과 온유함을 주셨습니까? 그리스도 안에서 건전한 정신 없이 행한 억제되지 않은 분노와 분노로 인해 제 삶에서 피해와 분열, 파괴를 가져온 사례는 무엇이었습니까? 예수님은 본래 아무것도 아니었던 드다나 갈릴리 사람 유다와 저에게 얼마나 더 다른 분이십니까? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [38-39절] 가말리엘이 성전 지도자들에게 사도들을 내버려 두라고 권고할 때 한 조언은 무엇이었습니까? 제 삶의 계획이 제가 스스로 만들어낸 것인지, 아니면 하나님의 계획의 움직임인지 어떻게 알 수 있었습니까? 제가 하나님께 복종하기보다는 대적하는 모습을 어떻게 발견했습니까? 제가 하나님의 사명에 적극적으로 참여하기보다는 하나님께 수동적인 모습을 어떻게 발견했습니까? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [40-42절] 성전 지도자들은 사도들을 풀어주기 전에 무엇을 했나요(40절)? 그런데 사도들은 어떤 마음과 생각과 행동으로 성전을 떠났나요(41-42절)? 불명예와 고통 속에서도 어떻게 기뻐할 수 있을까요? *UPCOMING (*notice some dates may have changed) –
