Jin H. Cho Fourth Week of Lent "Think of the self that God has given as an acorn. It is a marvelous little thing, a perfect shape, perfectly designed for its purpose, perfectly functional. Think of the grand glory of an oak tree. God's intention when He made the acorn was the oak tree. His intention for us is '... the measure of the stature of the …

Samuel S. Bang Third Week of Lent "History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people." This often quoted observation by Martin Luther King, Jr. is a vivid reminder that the good things we fail to do often has deeper co…

Jin H. Cho First Week of Lent Lent is the traditional time of the year in which we prepare our hearts, our minds, our lives, to receive the great gift of Christ's loving sacrifice on the cross, and the victory of the Easter resurrection. Today, we begin our Lenten series reflecting upon humanity's fall from grace—the entrance of sin in the world—as…

Mike McNichols Message from Guest Speaker Dr. Mike McNichols. Following Jesus is very often counter-intuitive. Sometimes we want to respond to a situation one way, but Jesus calls us to respond in an entirely different way. As we share our lives in the community we call the church, we find that living by the call of Jesus is how we express the real…

Samuel S. Bang The Christian faith has been passed down the past 2,000 years not only through its teaching but through the demonstration of lives lived in faith. All of us are influenced and shaped by the people and things around us. Unfortunately, in spite of advances in technology and social media, we feel more and more isolated from true role mo…

Samuel S. Bang The Spiritual Life as a Journey. "This life, therefore, is not righteousness, but growth in righteousness, not health but healing, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not yet what we shall be, but we are growing toward it; the process is not yet finished, but it is going on. This is not the end, but it is the road; …

Jin H. Cho What does it mean to live 'the good-life'? The predominant way in which we think of human well-being is fulfillment of desires. But the way in which we seek to fulfill our desires is often the very thing that destroys us. Which means that our desperate striving to fulfill our desires is often self-contradictory—our search for satisfactio…

Jin H. Cho Change is Always Coming Some of us look forward to it, while others struggle with it. Some of us feel we can impact change in our lives, while others think it is something that happens to us that we can only cope with. The Scriptures asks "can a leopard change its spots?" while exhorting us to make choices that honor God. How we approach…

Samuel S. Bang Even a cursory reading of the Bible reveals that the people of God throughout history have struggled being faithful to God. Are we destined to live a YoYo like spiritual life: Loving God one moment, only to wander from the God we love shortly thereafter? Are we destined to make resolutions every new year, only to have them face away …

Jin H. Cho New Year's Resolutions Many cultures around the world attach significance to the celebration of a New Year as a time of new beginnings and new possibilities. While the cynical among us might grumble and say "big deal", it is an opportunity to reflect and recommit. It is a rare time in which we as a culture are open to consider transforma…
