God’s primary concern is with Himself and not us. God is about God. And we want it to be that way. As I’m reading through the Genesis account of the creation of the world, it’s easy to be me-centered and think that all this was created for me. God created the universe to dazzle my […]

The greatest good we can do for ourselves is to pursue our ultimate happiness.* I know that sounds worldly or prosperity-gospelish, but I’ve come to realize that it is what is taught by the bible. Let me explain because if taken wrongly, it is downright worldly and ungodly. First, what is our ultimate happiness? Where […]

We may be rejecting God without knowing. Of course, no Christian will reject God on purpose knowingly. Most of us would say that although not perfect, we are doing the best we can to serve God. But what if we are dead wrong? It is ultimately God’s assessment of us that matters and not our […]

Hi, As One! This is a reminder that tomorrow’s service will be outdoor at Fort Steilacoom Park (Shelter #1) at 11 AM.  We will have a brief service and then enjoy the rest of the day to fellowship and play! Bring friends! Pastor Hong

Jesus has three offices: Prophet, Priest and King. We are familiar with the first two – as the Prophet, He speaks God’s word to us, and as the Priest, He mediates for us. But we are not familiar with His role as the King. King’s role in the Old Testament was mainly to deliver his […]

We can drive ourselves crazy trying to figure God out. He defies conventional logic. There is no recognizable pattern that He follows. And that is exactly how it should be if He is higher than us. Reading through the Book of 2 Chronicles, the kings of Judah and Israel are assessed either as “he did […]

Love is having no back-up plan. What would you think of a man who has a secret girlfriend as a back-up plan while he is marrying another woman in case that marriage does not work out? What do you think of a woman who makes his fiance sign a prenuptial agreement before marrying in case the […]

As you look back at your life, how have you seen God’s steadfast love on your life? Have you connected your past history with God’s love and guidance?
