Hymn
O Come, All Ye Faithful
John Francis Wade
Oh, come, all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant!
Oh, come ye, oh come ye to Bethlehem.
Come and behold him,
Born the King of angels;
Oh, come, let us adore him;
Oh, come, let us adore him;
Oh, come, let us adore him,
Christ, the Lord.
Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation;
Sing, all ye citizens of heav’n above!
Glory to God, Glory in the highest Refrain
Yea, Lord, we greet thee,
Born this happy morning;
Jesus, to thee be all glory giv’n.
Son of the Father,
Now in flesh appearing; Refrain
Confession of Faith
The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
…Maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord,
…Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
…Born of the Virgin Mary,
…Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
…Was crucified, dead, and buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven,
…And is seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty;
From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
The holy universal Church,
The communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body
And life everlasting. Amen.
Scripture Reading
Ephesians 2:1-9
As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
Message
Faith Is God’s Gift
Pastor Ryu Kwang Su
The Triune God, the throne (angels), and the binding of darkness—whenever we worship and pray, the Triune God works by the Spirit. The power of the throne and the kingdom of God come upon us. At this time, God dispatches the angels of the Lord, the heavenly armies. Darkness is surely bound.
1.3.8 The bartizan, journey, and guidepost that Christ gave—the fundamental power is formed through the bartizan, journey, and guidepost (Acts 1:1, 3, 8); this becoming of fundamental power is the standard of prayer and the standard of answers. You must hold onto two lifelines: prayer + deep breathing.
Direction – Goal: God works when we go in the direction and toward the goal that God desires.
The remaining one, the pilgrim, the conqueror, the scattered one, the watchman, the scout, the banner (highway): the remaining ones whom God has left behind are changed into those who remain and those who will be left, and God mobilizes all blessings to find such people. In every place, there is surely one. There are prepared: a pilgrim to evangelize, one who can reproduce, a conqueror who subdues darkness, the scattered ones whom God has sent in advance, a watchman who saves a region, a scout who secretly enters to save disaster zones, and one who raises the banner and repairs the highway for all peoples. The three courtyards, the three-day weekend age, and the holy meditation age are the highway.
▣ Introduction: Ephesians 6:12 The battle against Satan
1. He seizes rulers and is killing people.
2. Authorities – powerful people are captured by Satan and block the gospel.
3. World rulers – those who commit evil lawlessness and control the world.
4. Evil spirits – strange idol-worshiping groups emerge and cause confusion.
▣ Main: Salvation
1. Solving past problems (Ephesians 2:1)
1) 12 strategies – they are trapped in Satan’s 12 strategies.
2) Sin, transgressions – original sin and actual sin.
3) They are in a state of death.
2. Solving present problems (Ephesians 2:2)
1) Being liberated now from the hand of the ruler of the power of the air.
2) Many spiritual problems are arising in the three organizations and religions.
3) Children of wrath by nature – salvation is being liberated from this. Evangelism is telling this.
3. Solving future problems (Ephesians 2:6)
1) Hell background (throne) – living like hell and then going to hell. We enjoy the blessing of the throne and then go to heaven. Solving this is salvation.
2) Eternal things – this is connected to eternal things.
3) Passing on to future generations – this fact must be passed on to the whole world and to future generations.
▷ If we truly pray for evangelism and missions, God will mobilize all the power of this blessing. Because our direction does not align with God, our goal does not align, and there are no answers.
▣ Conclusion: Resolution
1. We cannot be saved – Christ
We cannot be saved. We have neither the condition nor the power to be saved. Therefore, He gave Christ.
2. Grace – salvation is God’s grace, and faith is also God’s gift.
3. Every day, every hour, everything – because it must be conveyed to the coming generations, enjoy this power daily. Since now is the time when this answer comes, check it every hour. You must succeed enough to evangelize the world. In everything, 300%.
▷ People who have fallen into the swamp are waiting. We must rescue them unconditionally. To rescue them, we need power. Remnants, have summit time. Go out with spiritual power (50 days). Young adults, go out prepared 300%. The sick must receive fundamental healing. Gain fundamental power and go with a fundamental mission. Our church must open the highway of the three ages.
