The Redemption That Came by Christ Jesus

Romans 3:21-25

When I was preparing the sermon today, I think about a question. What’s the message I should preach if I only have 30 minutes? It’s the “the redemption that came by Christ Jesus”. For around 2000 years, many people studied the Bible and wrote many books about the Bible, we have to admit, to some degree, that we are confused by these books. Imagine we will go back to Jesus and Apostles’ time, and let us read from the books of Jesus’ disciples what the salvation is!

Experiencing the Love of Jesus Christ in Lent

Agape Community Church will open its morning QT from 6:30AM to 7:10AM from Mondays to Saturdays. Attendees will study the life of Jesus from John 13 to John 19.

The Lent is a period in which believers embody the meaning of the passion of Christ as depicted by authors of the Gospels and reflect the meaning in their life.

We are saved by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Let us follow his steps experiencing his sacrifice and experience the resurrection in us.

Matthew 4:1-11 Three Temptations

Why do we study the Bible? We study the word of God not for more knowledge, though you will have more knowledge. One of the purposes is to have the weapon to defeat the evil.

Why was Jesus tempted? To be an example for us.

Jesus is the Son of God, and it’s not necessary for him to suffer from this and this temptation. He doesn’t need to be baptized by John, neither tempted by the devil. But for us, he is tempted. He was hungry like us. (Hebrew 2:18) Right after John the Baptist baptized him and there was the voice from heaven, “This is my Son, whom I love, with him I am well pleased”. But for Son, there is temptation from Satan. For the people who are living under the power of Satan, it’s not necessary for Satan to tempt them. However, for the Son of God, who will live his life obeying God’s will, there is temptation from Satan.

Inauguration Service at Agape Community Church Office at 115 College Street

On Dec 22, Inauguration Service took place in Burlington Agape Community Church Office for the new found location, 3rd Floor, 115 College Street, Burlington.

The text of the message is from Ephesians 4:17-24 and the title is "to put off your old self and to put on the new self". Paul says "to put off your old self". It's the metaphor of garments. It is like the garments that we can put off. Because of the work of Christ, our old self died, we just need to put off that. Our life and our ministry will be renewed.

"It's a new space, and it's almost new year. However, more important than that is the word of God renews me and God gives me another beginning", the minister says, "I believe the mission will develop if I continually welcome the work of Spirit here."

All who are interested in studying the Bible are welcome!

December 6-8 NYC Christmas Retreat Concludes with Abundant Grace

From December 6th to December 8^th, Minister John went to NYC to attend the NYC Christmas Retreat hosted by Immanuel Bronx, which was a refreshing experience.

40 Ministers and Bible students from Immanuel Bronx, Philadelphia, Boston, New Haven, Burlington, Manchester and Jersey City and more joined the retreat. The theme was “The Birth of Jesus” and students were given the opportunity to study messages answering where, why, when and how Jesus came to this earth. Each message was prepared and delivered with lots of love and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

The retreat featured several activities including an open-mic night, a gift-exchange, testimony time, prayer meeting and lots of opportunities to break-bread and converse.

The minister himself testified, “Even as Christians, we don’t think about why and how Jesus as Son of God came to the world. You can see the Gospel, the power of salvation when you look at his incarnation.”

Christmas Retreat in Burlington Agape Community Church will be planned around Christmas. All are welcome!
