Whenever we hear “present opportunity,” we think of the book of Esther. From now on, whenever there are similar opportunities related to salvation, we may call them present opportunities.

The border between Greece and Turkey is very interesting. Almost the entire belly of the Aegean Sea belongs to Greece, and only a small area on the side belongs to Turkey. The place we are focusing on today is Miletus, a peninsula close to Turkey. Being on this peninsula was not only a turning point in Paul’s life, but also a staged change in the history of the church. From this day on, the church entered the days of universal persecution. Let’s look at the first point: Continue reading “MARCH 31, 2024 Exhortation in Miletus”
Good morning. Today’s message is “The message of the cross.” You will notice that the Chinese and English titles do not exactly match each other. If the Chinese title matches the English title, it should be: 十字架的信息. The English title is based on the NIV translation. The Chinese title is from the CUV translation. The Chinese title used the words 道理, which can mean the “reasoning or principle.” If we see both the English and Chinese translation, then we can understand that the message of the cross is the reasoning or principle of the cross. Or you can say it’s the logic of the cross. The Greek word used is actually logos, which means is translated in John 1:1 as the Word (道). The Word道 is referring to Jesus. Before we get too deep, let’s read today’s verses in 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 together in Chinese and English: Continue reading “MARCH 24, 2024 The message of the cross”

When we talk about Macedonia, we think of the Macedonian Vision, right? When we talk about the Macedonian vision, we think of a Macedonian man riding a horse, asking Paul for help.
