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church is that while language and culture may be the common ground that initially brings us together, it would be superseded by our new identity in Christ as believers.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.  *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.

*PRAISE SONGS for this SUNDAY! – Practice them and be ready to sing them on Sunday morning. Praise on, brothers and sisters! (1) What an Awesome God; (2) Song of the Saints; (3) Holy Spirit Have Your Way *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! “Listen to the Holy Spirit, for His Dwelling Place is in You” (ACTS 4:44-53). (1.) [v.44-46] Before any temple was built by king Solomon, how did God direct Moses the way He desired to dwell with His people (v.44)? This mobile tent (also known as the “tabernacle”) contained the Ark of the Covenant, with the tablets of the Ten Commandments, a jar of manna that God miraculously provided as food in the desert, and Aaron’s rod that budded (see the book of Numbers 17) which reminded the people of God’s priestly appointment and authority on Aaron and his priestly descendants. This mobile tent was called the “tent of witness” or “tent of testimony.” How did this tent give testimony and witness to God’s presence? Until when did God’s people carry this tent with them (v.45)? God did not ask for a greater dwelling place than a tent. Rather, who desired to find and make a more permanent dwelling (v.46)? It is easy to dwell with God on Sunday, being a “Sunday Christian.” Yet equally, how is God calling us to be “Monday Christians” too? How have we limited a worshipful life in Christ to only a time, location, season… when our God is a mobile tent, traveling with us everywhere with His testimony through our lives? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [v.47-50] Although king Solomon built a temple for God, did God dwell there (v.47-48)? According to Isaiah 66:1-2, why can’t God dwell in an earthly house made by hands (v.49-50)? What is in possession of your hands, being made with your hands, being praised by your hands that you think God is finding His dwelling place in? What earthly house are you building that God is not residing in? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [v.51-53] Instead of an earthly house, God chose a mobile tent. He still dwells in a mobile way through our ears, minds, hearts, and obedient action. How does He dwell like this (v.51-53)? How do you need to receive instead of resist what the holy Spirit is saying to you? How is God calling you to obey instead of obstruct His law? [Korean translation] “성령님의 말씀을 들으라, 그의 집은 너희 안에 있느니라” (사도행전 7:44-53) (1.) [44-46절] 솔로몬 왕이 성전을 짓기 전에, 하나님께서는 모세에게 당신의 백성과 함께 거하기를 원하셨던 방식을 어떻게 인도하셨습니까(44절)? 이 이동식 장막(“성막”으로도 알려짐)에는 십계명이 새겨진 돌판이 담긴 언약궤, 하나님께서 광야에서 기적적으로 양식으로 공급하신 만나 항아리, 그리고 아론의 싹이 난 지팡이(민수기 17장 참조)가 있었습니다. 이 지팡이는 하나님께서 아론과 그의 후손들에게 제사장으로 임명하시고 권위를 주셨음을 백성에게 상기시켜 주었습니다. 이 이동식 장막은 “증거의 장막” 또는 “증언의 장막”이라고 불렸습니다. 이 장막은 어떻게 하나님의 임재를 증거하고 증거했습니까? 하나님의 백성은 언제까지 이 장막을 가지고 다녔습니까(45절)? 하나님은 장막보다 더 큰 거처를 요구하지 않으셨습니다. 오히려 누가 더 영구적인 거처를 찾고 만들기를 원했습니까(46절)? “일요일 그리스도인”이 되어 일요일에 하나님과 함께 거하는 것은 쉽습니다. 하지만 동시에, 하나님께서는 어떻게 우리를 "월요일 그리스도인"으로 부르시는 것일까요? 우리 하나님은 움직이는 천막이시며, 우리 삶을 통해 그분의 증거를 가지고 어디든 우리와 함께 다니시는데, 우리는 어떻게 그리스도 안에서 예배하는 삶을 특정한 시간, 장소, 계절로만 제한해 왔을까요? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [47-50절] 솔로몬 왕이 하나님을 위해 성전을 지었지만, 하나님께서 그곳에 거하셨습니까(47-48절)? 이사야 66장 1-2절에 따르면, 하나님께서 손으로 지은 땅에 있는 집에는 왜 거하실 수 없습니까(49-50절)? 여러분의 손으로 지은, 여러분의 손으로 찬양받는, 여러분의 손에 있는 것 중에 하나님께서 거하실 곳이 있다고 생각하는 것은 무엇입니까? 하나님께서 거하시지 않는, 여러분이 짓고 있는 땅의 집은 무엇입니까? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [51-53절] 하나님은 이 땅의 집 대신 이동식 장막을 택하셨습니다. 그분은 여전히 우리의 귀와 생각과 마음, 그리고 순종하는 행동을 통해 이동식으로 거하십니다. 그분은 어떻게 이렇게 거하십니까(51-53절)? 성령께서 당신에게 말씀하시는 것을 당신은 어떻게 거부하는 대신 받아들여야 합니까? 하나님께서는 어떻게 당신의 법을 방해하는 대신 순종하라고 당신을 부르십니까? *UPCOMING (*notice some dates may have changed) –
