2025.12.27 Remnant and TCK Study of Evangelism
The Evangelist’s Life and the Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (52)
– Model 46 of the 3 Courtyards –
Scripture Reading: Acts 17:1-6
Remnants ask many questions. “What should I do?” They ask this a lot. And there will be many questions about academics and the church as well, right? And some Remnants say, “I am studying here now, but there is no church here.” And some Remnants say, “I went, and there are church members, but it is a church that does not do Darakbang, so that is why.” They said things like that. The answer is simple. That Remnant is the church.
「Open a small branch church in the field」(Acts 17:1-6)
Wherever you go in the future, you are to make a small branch church in the field. You can do it alone. You just need to be praying alone. Then meetings will surely take place. Then someone will come who will become an important disciple. So whether in America or Europe or anywhere, Remnants must make a small branch church there.
▣ Introduction
1. Nobody
Because originally, you are people who start as Nobody.
2. Nothing
You start as Nothing. That is the Remnant.
No, there is nothing—so what should we do? This is the answer, I am telling you. I will give an example. I was teaching children, but I did not know how I should teach them. The children could not understand the gospel, could not pray, and they were noisy during worship time. You know, you have served elementary, early-elementary departments, right? The kids are very noisy. Then if you preach during worship time, there are not many children who listen to the sermon. At that time, I discovered it. Small groups and Darakbang. It is in the Bible—Darakbang. Complete works arose. You do not really need people and things like that. Because it is Nobody, Nothing.
I was in charge of middle and high school students, and I did not do anything else for the middle and high school department. There was no way. I went to meet them and gave them letters. That is what made works arise. You give answers to the part the children are most interested in. “Last week, which celebrity committed suicide, and why did they do it?” This kind of question. Then the answers all come out. Their spiritual state and spiritual problems all come out—there. For the kids, if you do that for them, it becomes a huge stir. It is Nobody, Nothing. Remnants must never be shaken.
▣ Main Body
1. A small branch church
Do not try to make something big. A small branch church.
2. A small M.H
Wherever there are Remnants, there is a small Mission Home.
3. A small school
Wherever there are Remnants, there is a small school. Even if you attend school, you must make a small school. So you must begin to meet talented people. From here you begin to make works. Right? Then it works. Do not try to do something well, do not try to do something big—just do properly what you have, and it works.
1. A small branch church (Acts 17:1)
Like Jason. He did not do something big. Later, this receives blessing as a tremendous church, right?
1) Region
This is a region that has a very important road on the way to Rome.
2) First Thessalonians 1:1-5
Later, if you look at First Thessalonians 1:1-5, it appears as a church that received the greatest blessing of faith, hope, and love.
3) Rome
Thessalonica is a city with a highway going to Rome. Paul was properly guided.
2. A small M.H (Acts 18:1-4, 24-28)
Wherever you are, it becomes a Mission Home like Acts 18. It becomes a house that makes talented people like Apollos in Acts 18:24 and 28 understand the gospel and understand prayer.
1) Meeting
So when meetings take place for Remnants,
2) Gospel + prayer
You must let them know what the gospel is, and what prayer is. At the New Year’s prayer meeting, it will mainly talk about prayer, but how do you really pray? And it is possible even when a Remnant is alone. Worship. Rather than simply praying alone, it is very important to pray while worshiping alone. Try doing it all alone. Sing hymns, confess the Apostles’ Creed, do it all alone. That is worship.
3) Corinth
Even when you do only that, this region later becomes a region that receives a great answer and evangelizes Corinth.
3. A small school
1) Synagogue
While you study in school, you must make a small school. Find talented people in the synagogue.
2) Lecture hall
Find disciples in the lecture hall. It came out, right?
3) Disciples separately
It says he established disciples separately here. This is the answer. Pastors must not try to gather many people. In one place, it is enough if just one disciple comes out separately. So who arrived in Corinth? The Priscilla couple arrived. So this synagogue work took place. One person is enough. And then it is fine even if you do not go again. Once this person comes out, you just send the message. And then you go to another region. I did 30 Darakbang sites in the Yeongdo region, but after exactly three years passed, I did not do it anymore, right? Why? You should not do it. You must go somewhere else. The disciples already came. These people do not go away. Once you have separately established disciples like Jason, Priscilla and her husband, they are bound to come.
So our Remnants must use the school strategy inside school. Find disciples. Remnants must study well, but cultivate the power of prayer. And then you must study. Remnants, do not worry about anything—enjoy the power of Christ. Later you will be amazed. Because God has prepared what belongs to you, pastors must make a firm decision. “I will find disciples in 1,000 places!” While you live your life, you must do that and go, must you not? He said to go to all peoples, and even if you cannot go to all peoples, you must at least go to regions, must you not? So now, properly, elders also must come forth as models—models who are truly blessed. I will pray.
Prayer. Thank You, God. We thank You for giving us the blessing of sending off one year and welcoming the new year that You give. Let all churches establish bartizans. Let all church leaders establish the bartizans of work. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
