01. Feb. 2025 Remnant & TCK Study of Evangelism
Scripture Reading: Acts 1:1-8
I am not saying this to boast, but to share what I have received by God’s grace, hoping it may help you. There are many things and many people in the church. It doesn’t matter. And there are many different styles of churches. It doesn’t matter either. Just serve. While doing that, I did one thing. In every church I went to, there were people who could be evangelized. Always—at least one or two. I met those people. I evangelized them separately, in every church I went to. No one could say anything against that. It’s evangelism. If it were something else, they might criticize, but evangelism? No. And in every church I went to, the fire was ignited. That was God’s grace. I was amazed.
President of Elders’ Association, President of Ordained Deacons’ Association, President of Women’s Mission Society, President of Women Elders’ Association, Young Adults, College
So this year, look carefully. Simply put, if there is a president among the elders, that’s good—it’s because he represents them. Among ordained deacons, there is also a president. There’s also a president of the women’s mission society, and nowadays, there are many women elders. That’s fine. They can do even better than men. It’s fine. Women elders’ president. And (young adults, college) I did not include the middle and high school departments; they were separate. This group (presidents of elders, ordained deacons, women’s mission society, women elders, young adults, college) are the precious cores of the church. These people plan evangelism. There must be someone who plays a definite assistant or secretary role—that’s the college group. And someone who takes a leadership role—that’s the young adults. I will talk about this at the young adults’ retreat this time. The elders help the church stand firm. That’s why we use the term “five-person team.” The ordained deacons work behind the scenes so that spiritual revival takes place. There is no time to waste. They make it happen. These are all such people. Of course, some may go directly into the field, but if an elder stops running his business to go around evangelizing all the time, I don’t think that’s the best approach. Then what are they to do when they gather like this?
(Preparation for the 300% Camp)
The answer is this: prepare the 300% camp. The issue is not church growth—it must come to life. There must be at least one person who truly comes to life. Even if there’s just one, that person must go and save people, save their workplace, save the field, and save the church. But going to work and ruining people, or harming others everywhere—that cannot be. This is truly a time of grace.
(Guidance of the Holy Spirit, Working of the Holy Spirit, Fruit of the Holy Spirit)
Then, as mentioned earlier, this (25) is the enjoyment of the kingdom of God—receiving the guidance of the Holy Spirit together. The work of the Holy Spirit takes place in the field. The fruit of the Holy Spirit appears. These three—this is 300%. So we first receive the answer and gain strength. You do not come to church to start working first—you first gain strength. The blessing must first arise. If not, people fall into trials while working in church, and the number of those who continue to work until the end is the fewest. They all get discouraged. But is there really any reason to be discouraged like that? You must simply do it like this. This group (presidents of elders, ordained deacons, women’s mission society, women elders, young adults, college) must be identified this year without fail.
▣ Introduction – Young Adults: God’s Goal [Three Courtyards]
Now, among these, today we will focus on what young adults must do. Of course, this applies to all believers, but we must know God’s goal. It’s not only that we must be aligned in direction with God, but our goal must also match His. For example, no matter how well you play soccer, you must score a goal to win. If we play Brazil, and Brazil scores none but we score one, we win.
This is the three courtyards—the three courtyards that Jesus pointed out with indignation. These are God’s goals. Look at the Bible.
- Acts 13, 16, 19 (Mission Door)
In chapters 13, 16, and 19, what appears at the beginning? The Gentile door opens completely under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It shows the opening of the missionary door. - Acts 13, 16, 19 (Healing) – Nephilim
Also in chapters 13, 16, and 19, what else do we see? The courtyard of healing. Simply put, this is healing the Nephilim. Yesterday, when I met with medical professionals, I said this: the calling of medical professionals is to heal the Nephilim described in the Bible. They must know this, because that is the root of sickness, and later it plays a major role in causing problems. - Acts 17, 18, 19 (RT)
Then in chapters 17, 18, and 19, the synagogue appears—the courtyard of children.
These three are God’s goals: to save the Gentiles, to heal the sick, and to save the next generation. The direction must align, but the goal must also be right.
▣ Main Message – The Throne, Transcending Time and Space, Unprecedented and Never-Repeated
From this point, three blessings come to you. When you do this (the three courtyards), the blessing of the throne that Jesus promised arises. When your goal aligns this way, you receive the blessing of the throne, and since you must save the 237 nations, the answer of transcending time and space comes. What is prayer? It is transcending time and space. Then what comes next? The answer that belongs only to you—the unprecedented and never-repeated—follows. It’s okay even if you fall; just rise again. That’s not a problem. If you made a mistake, realize it—that’s all. It’s not an issue. But if you lose God’s direction and goal, nothing works. From this point, three things come.
- Platform (Acts 2:1–18)
A platform—people cannot help but come. Acts 2:1–18. What comes from this? - Watchtower
A watchtower arises—a place that shines light and saves people. It’s also called a bartizan of watch. A watchtower. - Antenna
You must help people who come to have what you have. That’s the antenna.
From now on, everything that happens to you is God’s blessing. Simply put, even though our denomination is splitting and forming new assemblies, that’s a great blessing. How good that another one is established! It’s a blessing. Some go, some come—that’s also a blessing. The more I think about it, the more thankful I am. Truly. Those who go, go well; those who come, come well. God is the one who ultimately works it out. I truly hope it goes well for them. When this (platform, watchtower, antenna) is built, the answers come.
▣ Conclusion – Bartizan: Watchman
This (platform, watchtower, antenna) is called a bartizan. Then what do you become? A watchman. We must raise the remnants this way, but I invited the young adults instead this time because they must play this role. You must know God’s goal and take the lead role in it.
▣ Main Message
- Platform (Acts 2:1–18)
What comes inevitably to the platform:
Power (2:1–13)
When they gathered, power came—Acts 2:1–13.
Future (2:17–18)
When they gathered, the future became visible—Acts 2:17–18. “They will prophesy, dream dreams, and see visions.” Platform.
Economy of light (2:43–47)
Even more amazing, in verses 43–47 comes the economy of light. The grace they received on the Lord’s Day (v.42) continues through this flow.
- Watchtower (Acts 2:9–11)
What must be seen carefully here? These people (2:9–11). They came and received the miraculous gospel. When they receive the gospel, what happens? They return to their countries. An amazing event.
1) Foreigners (multiethnic)
Those in verses 9–11 were foreigners, multiethnic people.
2) Jews
Some were Jews, and others were multiethnic people who had followed the Jews there. This was not an ordinary field—this was the very field of world evangelization.
3) Field of world evangelization
Not just world evangelization—it was the field of world evangelization. You must tell this to multiethnic people. You must discern things properly. The fact that they came to Korea and to our church to hear the gospel means they have received an enormous blessing. Therefore, they must not miss it. What must they carry back? They must tear down Satan’s bartizans and establish God’s bartizan. That’s the field.
- Antenna (Acts 2:41–47)
Then, the antenna must be established. I recommend reading Acts 2:41–47.
1) Three thousand
When the antenna was established, three thousand disciples arose.
2) Worship
Not only that—they succeeded in worship. That is the antenna. Worship success. As you worship today, resolve all your conflicts clearly—that’s success.
3) Fulfillment
At this time, the Word was fulfilled in the temple and in homes.
There was an elder who worked as an executive in a major conglomerate. He was my friend. But he was dismissed. Why? Because that company was practically corrupt, and he foresaw its collapse. He was dismissed through the schemes of corrupt leaders. I told him, “Elder, you are amazing. That is success.” He was deeply moved. I wasn’t wrong. “Elder, that is success. Life does not just end like that.” After that, he often talked with me. He made a life decision—though he was older, he went to study theology. His surname was Ha, but his given name was a bit unusual, and he wanted to change it. I said, “Good. I’ll help you.” So we went to see Elder Kim Kwang-Il, who found twelve possible names for him. The elder laughed just as you are now and said to me, “You should be a lawyer.” He changed his name to Ha Hun. He was much older than me. As soon as he began pioneering a church in Yeongdo, he drove down to see me. He said, “Let’s go to Seoul—why are you here in this remote part of Busan?” I said, “I can’t go.” Inside, I thought, “If only you had come earlier.” I had already begun this ministry here, so I couldn’t leave. You can’t live that way. That would have been a big problem.
We often misunderstand what blessing and answer really are. Are you suffering hardships? You are truly blessed. It’s hard to understand, isn’t it? But the Bible says so, and real history confirms it.
▣ Conclusion – Bartizan: Watchman
That’s why God has set you as watchmen. Our remnants must truly remember this. Let us pray.
Prayer. God, we thank You. We thank You for establishing us again today as Your blessing. Let this be a time to make a resolution through Your Word today. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
