A Message from Pastor Holgie Choi

How many of us are currently feeling overwhelmed?  It is difficult for many of us to stay positive especially when we are not immune to the mysteries of tomorrow.   I am quite aware of all that our lives are cluttered with the doubts, fears, and worries.  Even Jesus’ disciples often questioned him and had doubts.   But, Christ is the one who came, saw, and redeemed humanity.  He gave us a specific commission that was centered on a promising hope.  This eternal hope in Christ gives us a radiant joy that flows throughout our lives.

  

As we are approaching the sacredness in the season of Lent, let us fully embrace the gift of the Holy Spirit who will help us to see the presence of Jesus in our everyday lives.  When we live in Christ, we know that we are living in the truth and become witnesses of the truth. The preacher Thomas Long once said:

​

Christians are on the witness stand to tell that story, not because it is a likely story or an advantageous piece of testimony, but because it is true.  We know it is true because we ourselves have experienced it and witnessed its truth.  That is why we are on the witness stand and have taken the oath to tell the truth “so help us God.”
