My beloved friends, family and honorable people of God.

God’s Grace and Love be with each of you.

As God’s people we are called to inspire the world in our true selves. Disciples of Jesus.

To prepare for this work to live in the Lord’s name and live as agents of the Lord we first

receive the Word. We receive God’s grace and love.

This preparation empowers us to share the work of the church through service and

dedication according to the gifts of the Holy Spirit. To share grace, love, joy and

gratitude. To fulfill the mission God has given us. To fulfill our mission we must prepare

our abilities, character and dedication for God’s kingdom. We must receive God’s

approval first, and be called Honorable by our almighty God.

When we believe in Jesus Christ, when we follow Jesus Christ, we are elevated to

spiritual leaders. All of us who follow Jesus become spiritual leaders for worldly people

so we can be honorable people of God to others.

In the Sunday’s reading from Exodus, Moses’ father-in-law told Moses to teach the

people the Word of God and the ordinances; and show them how to work and to walk.

He said to select men who fear God, men of integrity, men who hate dishonest gain.

We, too, need to have these characteristics: competence, commitment and character.

Competence as we are God’s people who are faithful in the Word and in prayer, and

faithful in our work. Those who possess the power of the Lord cast off feelings of

inferiority, frustration and defeat, and who learn to know the Lord. They have a passion

for God and feel a strong sense of spiritual inspiration.

Commitment as we cooperate with one another. Not point fingers and complain about

the darkness of the world filled with sin. When our constitution is transformed with the

attitude of dedication, the church, people and the world will be renewed. We must not

always judge, speak and criticize but rather banish sin and dedicate ourselves to God.

Character toward others. As leaders for the world we must not blame God or be

discouraged in the face of hardship and adversity. These are essential nutrients for

character formation so we can possess a character that earns love and respect of all.

When we are faced with obstacles it is God’s will to move forward to new places. Move

forward in peace. God’s people do not dwell on small matters or exist for their own

interests and ideas. The Lord’s people who are based on the Lord’s Word, walk

together for the Lord’s work, and move through our obstacles to go forward and build

our own kingdom of God and for serving the worldly people from the power of Jesus

Christ and power of the Holy Spirit.

We as Christians are people who stand together with hearts of truth and righteousness.

We advance toward the Lord’s kingdom and help each other enjoy a better and more

peaceful life. We must all prepare and cultivate our ability, education, and character for

the service of God. Those who are prepared will be used to benefit others and find

peace in one another.

I pray that we will become spiritually blessed leaders who bring peace to the world with

the dreams and visions in the grace of Jesus Christ.

God bless you. Everybody is in God’s hands.

Your pastor,

Oon Don
