So... here are my notes from the last day.
gly.
Grab your bible and gooo. =]

***

Sermon 1 Elder Steve Choi
He didn't really want to speak, because he might've been tempted to boast.
But only here for testimony.
...Reason why we're called to do business?
Well, we're called to testify. He could've been in the bahamas with his family. But he's there testifying. That's sacrifice and Glory.
We should live like Presicilla. We should keep giving money. Stewardship... everything is Gods.
We're here to fullfill his needs (sacrifice).
We could live well... and we're all busy right? (Want to get rich? Work hard.)
Well, what is sacrifice? --> The things I have for a certain reason. Just like Jesus Sacrificed Equality with God to come down here and die for us.
Glory... is like relaying experiences. It's how God is using me and how I realize this.
"I used to have a Bentley" --> lots of people with nice cars will look around after they park to see who's looking at them. --> "I used to pick up MSNs from the airport in my Bentley, but when I noticed the people were looking at me, I realized this isn't it. So I sold it."
Don't boast about yourself and what you have. (Personal Sacrifice)
What do you do when you don't have anything? (And owe a lot...) Run.
"I could've sold my kidney to pay off the debt, but instead I ran."
Article --> "Resilience through One's faith in God"
Why? Why do I go through all of this?
Deut 4:31-32 --> We do this so we would pray, so we cry out to God, so it's glory and not mine.
Sacrifice or Glory?
Give up, so life isn't sacrifice anymore, but Glory for God.
What do I know?
I want to feel God's love all the time, and want to stay there.
Sacrifice yourself, giving up the things you're entitled to. Stop me, start reaching out to others. That's glory.
What do you want to live for?
Drinking dirty water? Sacrifice? Glory?
You may have been there and done that... but HE. HE has been there and done that. He's been everywhere and done everything. That's sacrifice. That's Glory.
What do I know? God has given me anything and everything. He could've used one person for all of his ministries.
Rich? Realize what you have.
"I had to go to korean w/nothing but 1500$, but a church needed a new carpet. So I gave them the money.
What should I do, Lord? What CAN I do?
Sacrifice my life.
Acts 18:2-4

Realize what you have, you have everything.
Let him use you.
If I give up everything, to me that's sacrifice. But.
That's Glory.

Sermon 2 Pastor Joel Kim
History? --> His Story.
Lay down our own vision. But we already have it! To be children of God, Fishers of Men.
Our identity is first. Fishers of men, my identity. Then, it's our calling.
We should also steward financially. Give to God.
The second generation, we give, but it doesn't hurt. We need to give till it stings.
It's not like Jesus was stung on the cross when he sacrificed. IT HURT.
This world... can never be perfectly healed. It is CONSTANTLY BLEEDING because of SIN.
Don't bandage the world, we can't do that. So just prepare the way.
We can't just sit either. If we aren't reaching the unreached... the clock, the time of God coming, doesn't move.

God has given us gifts and power of spirit for mission. To see the unreached be reached.
Passion comes... when your feet touch the Mission Field.
Dare to step into the mission field. Do it.
We need to go and recieve, we... CANNOT JUST TAKE NOTES ( hohoho =] )

Glory + Sacrifice (Romans 1:14-17), We're all OBLIGATED to do the gospel. We owe JC. We are obligated to our faith, to our parents, to the First generation.
Missionaries sacrified in Korea. We're obligated...
We are the "Cho-sun" people. It's responsibility, not egotistical. It's the responsibility that we have to the gospel.
We need to carry this, if we don't, it's meaningless (Black & Gold... Sam Sparro? yaknow?)
The 1G's wanted to pass this to us.
It's not just... 4 days and 3 nights, we are chosen until the return of our Lord and Savior, this is about JC, and his dream, his mission.
"Finally there is a generation that will fullfil my wish."
Stop making excuses.
It's time to Mission.
When we tithe... God says to us... it's okay you can keep 9/10. When we SHOULD be GIVING 9/10. ty god.
Our first identity is Fishers of Men. How can we maximize the catch of fish?

Sermon 3 REV SOO TAE KIM WUT WUT (Hahaha my head pastor at LFC ><) Matthew 9:13 --> Why was he eating with the sinners? "I came for the sick."
Why do we worship? The purpose is to meet God, love and seek and understand his heart.
His heart?
Love for sinners.
We know what God wants. Jesus showed us how to love the sinners. He understood Gods love and plan, and drank from the cup (na mean?).
LOVE GOD?
LOVE SINNERS.
You need this in order to Go.
Romans 8:38-39
Hosea 3:1
Let's realize how much God loves his people.
Luke 15:20
Let's experience God's love for the sinners.
Reverend Yang Won Son. He prayed a LOT. And Understood.
When someone killed his son... he adopted that persons sons.
Old Testament... Sacrifice. We had to sacrifice something to take our sins! The Lamb!

WE KILLED JESUS. With our Sins.
But GOD. HE ADOPTED US even though we KILLED HIS SON.

Understand this.
Understanding this, and meeting God.
Is worship.
We need to meet with the Holy Spirit, and understand his love.
When we are brought to a higher place, we can see much much more.

PN: When we see much much more... we are more responsible. We are responsible for it once we know about it.
We are responsible now that we know about JC and his story.

God's love for us. For Sinners.

Worship.
