Dec 21, 2025 Christmas
A Joy That Doesn't Stay Inside
Luke 1:51-53
All over the world, people celebrate Christmas. You can see people of all ages start to look happier as Christmas comes closer. Perhaps it is because they do not have to work that day or there are special foods and gifts of the season. However, the joy to the world is proclaimed in the Bible.
Mary proclaimed great joy at the coming of Christ.
Luke 1:51-53 ESV
[51] He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;
[52] he has brought down the mighty from their thrones and exalted those of humble estate;
[53] he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.
She also had great faith in God and sacrificed herself to the world. At the time God asked Mary for open hands and an open heart. This is what Christmas is about. Open hands to receive God's blessing and gift of salvation but also the open heart to have faith and love God and others. We, like Mary, need to offer ourselves to others and to expand God's kingdom.
We cannot keep this joy to ourselves. We need to share this love with others in words and deeds.

Dec 14, 2025 “When the Storm Opens Our Eyes”(Acts 27:13-26)
When
the Storm Opens Our Eyes
Acts 27:13-26
In this passage, we read about Paul, who is a
prisoner at this time, tells Julius, who was an officer and sailor, not to go out
sailing. Julius ignores Paul because he only sees Paul as a prisoner and not a preacher
of God.
Acts 27:13-14 ESV
[13] Now when the south wind blew gently, supposing
that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete,
close to the shore. [14] But soon a tempestuous wind, called the northeaster, struck
down from the land.
At first, the trip goes smoothly and there are
no problems. Then a storm occurs and becomes worse and worse. For three days, the
storm rages and no one can see the stars or the sun. The crew and passengers tried
and tried to save the ship, but nothing happens.
The crew had to throw over their cargo and tackle.
They have basically given up.
Acts 27:18-20 ESV
[18] Since we were violently storm-tossed, they
began the next day to jettison the cargo. [19] And on the third day they threw the
ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands. [20] When neither sun nor stars appeared
for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope of our being saved was at
last abandoned.
At this time, everyone is exhausted. They have
done everything they could to save themselves by lightening the ship's load by throwing
over the cargo and tackle. Without tackle they cannot raise their sails. They are
lost at the sea.
Acts 27:21-23 ESV
[21] Since they had been without food for a long
time, Paul stood up among them and said, “Men, you should have listened to me and
not have set sail from Crete and incurred this injury and loss. [22] Yet now I urge
you to take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the
ship. [23] For this very night there stood before me an angel of the God to whom
I belong and whom I worship,
Paul reassures them that God will save them. Often
God can only help us when we have no more strength. When we become completely dependent
on God.
Similar to the sailors, we think we know better
than God. We try to fix problems with our own knowledge and skills.
Julius did not understand who Paul was and what
God could do. When the Storm came, Julius could see who God really was and what
the reality is. When life is calm, it seems we can do things on our own and we might
ignore God.
Storms will come and there is no stopping them.
These storms allow us to experience God's greatness and faithfulness. The storm
is powerful, but God is more powerful.
The storm will not have the last word, but God
will. We need to have faith that is like a safety belt. We can put the safety belt
on and be confident that we will be safe even if an accident occurs.

Dec 7, 2025 “God’s Promise”(Hebrews 6:13-20)
God's
Promise
Hebrews 6:13-20
What does it mean when God swears on Himself?
No one is greater than God, so God could only swear on Himself.
Hebrews 6:13 ESV
[13] For when God made a promise to Abraham, since
he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself,
With God, we know that when God makes a promise,
it is 100% going to happen. No one else boast this. However, this asks the promise,
"What did God promise?"
Hebrews 6:19-20 ESV
[19] We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor
of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, [20] where
Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever
after the order of Melchizedek.
We know that we have salvation because of what
Jesus had done. We have an “anchor for our souls” and that is talking about salvation.
But what do we need to do for salvation?
John 3:16 ESV
[16] “For
God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him
should not perish but have eternal life.
We need to believe in Jesus. This means living
in faith every day. We need to keep our habits of faith, rest in God's faith and
confess our sins. It also means sometimes to do nothing and wait for God to act
and accept His will. We need to run back to God when we fail like Abraham.
Hebrews 6:13-15 ESV
[13] For when God made a promise to Abraham, since
he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself, [14] saying, “Surely
I will bless you and multiply you.” [15] And thus Abraham, having patiently waited,
obtained the promise.
Abraham had faith in God. Yes, Abraham made mistakes
and did some terrible things to his family and tried to help God in disastrous ways.
Because Abraham believed God and had faith in God's promises, he could endure. God fulfilled His promises to Abraham despite
mistakes Abraham made.
Being a witness measure showing that God is real.
That means living a righteous life. That means waiting for God and being faithful
even though the world shows something different to God's promises.
Yet, we need to remember that the God who promised
to Abraham is the same God who promises to us. God requires us one thing. To believe
what God has promised, He will keep it.
