God of the open door of faith

                                               

Scripture: Acts 14:27 & Ephesians 3:20

"On arriving there, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles." (Acts 14:27)

Reflection: After completing their first missionary journey, Paul and Barnabas returned to the church in Antioch. They didn't just report their own hard work; they testified to what God had done through them and how He had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.

It is so exciting to witness God’s wonderful work! When we align ourselves with God’s plan, the results go far beyond our limited imagination. As the Scripture says:

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us." (Ephesians 3:20)

Prayer for Today’s Leadership & Prayer Retreat: Lord, as we gather today in Your presence, we begin by praising You. We thank You for all You have already done in our church and for the souls You have led to Christ through this ministry.

As we retreat together, please teach us and guide us. Show us where we should go, who we need to reach, what we need to do, and how to make it happen. Above all, remind us why we do all things, when to move in faith and when to wait in prayer: for Your glory and the expansion of Your Kingdom. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Ministerial Sanctification (목회적 성화)

  Reflection  I have always admired the Apostle Paul and the Apostle John. I see parts of myself in Paul’s fiery passion, yet I long to resemble John, whose temperament is different from mine—perhaps that is why I married a husband who is like John. Paul was a man of dramatic experience and unwavering zeal, willing to lay down his life for the Gospel. As a goal-oriented strategist, he had clear missionary plans. Because of this firm nature, he once clashed with Barnabas over Mark and chose to part ways. Strategically, his plan to go to Asia Minor seemed superior, and he struggled at first to understand why God redirected him toward Macedonia. However, God used these journeys not only to transform the world but to transform Paul himself. Later in his life, we see a changed man—one who forgave Mark, whom he had once rejected, and embraced him as a precious co-worker. This same Mark went on to write the Gospel of Mark. Furthermore, when Paul surrendered his own plans to follow Go...

How can I be saved?

  Scripture: Acts 16:25–34 In today’s M'Cheyne Bible reading, the passage from Acts invites us to reflect deeply on the nature of salvation. Paul and Silas, though unjustly imprisoned for the Gospel, chose to pray and sing hymns in the darkness. While their bodies were confined within stone walls, their souls remained profoundly free. Suddenly, a violent earthquake struck, and  the foundations of the prison were shaken.  The very core of their confinement gave way, the doors flew open, and everyone’s chains were unfastened. At that moment, the jailer—a man who was physically free but spiritually bound—prepared to take his own life, fearing the prisoners had escaped. However, Paul and Silas did not see the open doors as a mere escape route; they waited for a divine sign. Paul cried out, "Do not harm yourself, for we are all here!" Stunned by this grace, the jailer asked the most vital question of human existence:  "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" The jailer ha...

When Our Strength Ends, His Grace Begins

  Reflection Sarah was anxious. She had been in the Promised Land for ten years, yet the child God promised had not arrived. Faced with the uncertainty of her circumstances, Sarah decided to take matters into her own hands. In her frustration, she complained against the Lord. Because He had not yet granted her a child, she attempted to fulfill God's promise through her own human effort by using her servant, Hagar. In doing so, she diminished God, shrinking Him down to fit within the limits of her own small world and understanding. She tried to force God's will to happen through her own strength. This choice led to a heartbreaking outcome. Once Hagar became pregnant, Sarah was treated with contempt, leading Sarah to retaliate by harshly mistreating Hagar. Remarkably, God did not appear to Sarah in this moment; instead, He appeared to Hagar in the wilderness to comfort her and instruct her to return. In this story, I see a reflection of myself. Lord, forgive me for the times when...
