From the
English Pastor
I believe the Church of Jesus Christ is a place where we
Experience Grace and Forgiveness, enabled by God's awesome
love through His Son. The call of the church is to introduce others to Embrace
God as Father. So, as the family of God we Grow up
Together, experiencing and Owning a Firsthand Faith,
putting what we learn into practice by Linking Truth and Life,
and by faith Defeating the Enemies of Spiritual Progress.
Further, as a minister in God's
grand enterprise, I am to Empower Others by
allowing their unique gifting to prevail and to offer them before God
for service, a process that is Seasoned by Time and Experience.
I would like to invite you to
join us as we embark on this amazing journey.
- Pastor and friend, James Yu
Our Theme
for 2008
In 2006, we made an effort to define or redefine ''The One
Thing'' that matters the most in this whole universe other
than God himself, the church of Jesus Christ. When Jesus returned to
heaven 2000 years ago, he left his disciples with the gospel mission.
Today we are called as Disciples of Christ to be in the homes, the
schools, the marketplace, and the world continuing the same gospel
enterprise.
In 2007, we had two themes one
on ''Entering the Promise'' and the other ''Celebrating
Joy.'' As the world lust after things that will never
satisfy, the church of Jesus Christ must have a greater passion. What
does it take to live a life of fulfillment & joy? We must
recognize the cost associated with a victorious Christian life. As
Apostle Paul amply puts it, ''To live is Christ, to die is gain.''
In 2008, our theme will be ''Advancing
the Kingdom.'' We will study from the book of I Samuel, a
series on ''Character under Fire.'' Our focus will
shift from the church into the community and beyond. I think we will
have a great time together.
