Community Church Hong Kong Podcast

Work in Hong Kong can feel overwhelming—long hours, crowded commutes, constant pressure. Yet from the very beginning, God showed us that work was meant to be meaningful, not draining. Genesis 2:15 says, “The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.” Work was part of God’s good design—a way to bring life, nurture, and joy. True happiness isn’t just about achieving more, but about finding purpose in the tasks God has entrusted to us. If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME! We would love to get to know you.

Happiness is so much deeper than just a fleeting feeling—it’s a fullness of life that goes beyond what circumstances can take away. Jesus said, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” (John 10:10 NIV) While challenges and uncertainties can dim our mood, remember that the life He offers is unshakeable—a wholeness no busy schedule, changing weather, nor tough news can steal away.

Doubting? In a city like Hong Kong, with so much change and uncertainty all around, questions are only natural. Jude 22 says, “Be merciful to those who doubt…” Let’s create space for honest conversations, gentle compassion, and faith that welcomes questions. Mercy is a gift we can give each other—especially in seasons of doubt. If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME! We would love to get to know you.

In ancient times, the city gate was the place where justice was done, decisions made, and strangers welcomed or turned away. Today, our “gates” are less visible but just as real: the doorways of our workplaces, our communities, and even the screens where we decide whether to scroll past or stop and listen. Proverbs 21:3 (ESV) teaches us, “To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.” In Hong Kong, we know what it feels like to live in a city of gates with our crowded streets, MTR turnstiles, estate entrances, and invisible social boundaries. Yet the question remains: Who is at your gate? If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME! We would love to get to know you.

Our city is bustling, and sometimes the noise of all that is happening can drown out what our souls really crave: meaning, peace, and hope. In times of uncertainty and change, let’s pause to remember that true satisfaction is found not just in what we achieve, but in drawing close to God. Join us today as we seek what truly sustains us.

Amidst Hong Kong's summer festivals, bustling events, city celebrations, and sometimes random weather, finding a quiet moment feels rare. Yet in the midst of all the noise, God invites us to a sacred pause. When the world feels overwhelming, take time to sit in quiet. God meets us there.

“From Broken to Beloved" explores the transformative power of family & community in restoring identity and hope for the fatherless. God desires that every child, no matter how broken, would know fully well that they are beloved, “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14).

When we let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts, we discover the true power of team—unity, strength, and gratitude. In a city as vibrant and ever-changing as Hong Kong, we’re reminded that together, as one body, we can face any challenge and shine even brighter. Let’s stay ignited, support one another, and be thankful for the gift of community! If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME! We would love to get to know you.

In a city as diverse as ours, it’s sometimes difficult to accept difference, especially in challenging times. But God calls us to something greater as, in Romans 12:18, He says, “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” This week, let’s be ignited to break down barriers—whether in our neighborhoods or workplaces and remember that every act of kindness, every effort toward understanding, matters. Together, we can build bridges and foster peace, right here in Hong Kong and beyond. If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME! We would love to get to know you.

In a city as vibrant and diverse as Hong Kong, we’re reminded daily of the beauty and challenge of inclusion. As we reflect on Acts 15:19, we see a powerful call: to tear down the barriers—visible and invisible—that keep people from experiencing the fullness of God’s love. Hong Kong’s story is one of many cultures, faiths, and journeys coming together; and it is a reminder that real inclusion means more than just tolerance—it means actively removing obstacles, opening doors, and making faith accessible to all, regardless of background or circumstance. Let’s be ignited by this vision and be the ones who make it easier for others to encounter hope, community, and grace. If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME! We would love to get to know you.

When ambition and pressure run high, it’s easy to chase after success, recognition, and security—especially when so much feels uncertain. But in these times, we’re reminded that true strength isn’t always found in pushing forward at all costs. Jesus calls us not just to hustle for the world’s rewards, but to pause and ask: What is the cost of winning everything if we lose ourselves in the process? Retreat isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom. It’s a chance to reconnect with our purpose, to stand firm in faith, and to remember that our worth isn’t measured by titles or possessions, but by the health of our souls.

Sometimes, the hardest chains to break are the ones we don’t even see—the traditions and mindsets passed down to us. But in Acts 10:28b, we’re reminded: “But God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean.” In a world where divisions often feel sharper than ever—whether in our city’s debates, our workplaces, or even at the dinner table—God calls us to see each person with new eyes. No labels. No walls. Just love. As Hong Kong continues to change and grow, let’s be the generation that ignites compassion over criticism, unity over division. Let’s break the old ways that keep us apart and step into a future where everyone is welcome at the table. If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME! We would love to get to know you.

In a city that never stands still, transformation is in our DNA. As Acts 9:31 reminds us: “Living in the fear of the Lord and encouraged by the Holy Spirit, [the community] increased in numbers.” Just as the early church grew stronger through reverent awe and the Spirit’s encouragement, we too are called to walk in both fear of the Lord—a posture of deep respect and awe for God’s greatness—and the comfort of the Holy Spirit, who comes alongside us to strengthen, guide, and renew us, even in uncertain times. This season, let’s be ignited by faith. Let’s seek wisdom in every challenge, comfort in every setback, and courage to reach out and build up our community.

In a city as vibrant and ever-changing as Hong Kong, we’re reminded that true joy is found when hearts are ignited by hope and purpose. Just as Philip brought healing and good news to Samaria, sparking joy across the city, we too can bring light and transformation wherever we go.

In John 14:26, Jesus promised, ‘But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.' No matter where we are the Holy Spirit is our constant companion, our Advocate and Helper. He empowers us to understand God’s truth, comforts us in uncertainty, and reminds us of Christ’s love and wisdom in every season. In a city that never sleeps, let’s pause and invite the Holy Spirit to ignite our hearts. We are never alone; God’s presence is with us, teaching, guiding, and connecting us to His unending grace.

As we head to retreat from the busy heart of Hong Kong this weekend, we are reminded of how easy it is to rush past those in need—just like the priest and Levite in Jesus’ story. But the Good Samaritan reminds us what it truly means to love our neighbor: to notice, to stop, and to care, even when it’s inconvenient or unexpected. Making room for others means more than giving up a seat on the MTR; it’s about opening our hearts, our schedules, and our communities to those who need support. Let’s be the ones who cross the road, who reach out, who make space. Whether it’s volunteering during Serve-a-thon, joining a community initiative, or simply checking in on someone nearby, every act of kindness helps restore and uplift our city.

As the sun rises over Victoria Harbour this Resurrection Sunday, we will be gathering at the Central Ferry Pier No. 3 for a sunrise service to be reminded that hope is alive, even in uncertain times. Just as Jesus’ empty tomb signaled a new beginning, today we celebrate fresh starts and renewed faith across our city. The true heart of Easter is in the promise that life and love conquer all darkness. In a year when many are traveling or facing new challenges, let’s pause to remember: resurrection means that no setback is final, and every ending can become a new beginning.

In a city that never sleeps, where skyscrapers touch the heavens and life moves at lightning speed, let us pause and reflect on the eternal King who reigns above it all. Just as the disciples rejoiced in witnessing His mighty works, we too can celebrate His faithfulness in our lives today. As we gather on this Palm Sunday, let us reflect on Luke 19:37, which says, "His disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen: 'Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!’” Let’s lift our voices together and let us shine His light brightly over our city, guiding us with wisdom and grace.
