Community Church Hong Kong Podcast

Happy Lunar New Year friends! We hope you are having a wonderful time this week. As we look towards Sunday, let us be reminded of Hosea 6:6, which says, "For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings." In this new year, let us continue to prioritize compassion over convenience, understanding over judgment, and togetherness over isolation. If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME!

And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdo

In lives filled with challenges, the essence of family and faith shines brighter than ever. As we reflect on the story of Abraham, we learn of how his powerful act of faith teaches us that true worship is not just about songs and prayers but also about our willingness to give back to God what is most precious to us. Let us embrace this calling to worship through our actions and generosity, knowing that our sacrifices can lead to greater blessings for others.  If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME!

In a world where we often feel the weight of expectations, it's essential to remember the power of love and equality within our families—especially in the church family. This Sunday, we will reflect on the concept of favoritism by meditating on the verse from James 2:8 reminds us: “If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, ‘Love your neighbour as yourself,’ you are doing right.” Let’s embrace each family member with the same love we wish for ourselves and, together, build a supportive community that thrives on unity and respect.

In this second week of the new year, let’s reflect on what truly matters by remembering the words from Luke 9:25: "What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self?” In Hong Kong, where the pace of life is fast and the pressures are high, it's easy to get caught up in the hustle. But as we embrace 2025, let’s commit to nurturing our family bonds and instilling discipline as disciples of Christ. If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME! We would love to get to know you.

As we step into this new year, let’s remember the power of grace in our families and communities. In a time when challenges seem to abound, the promise from 2 Corinthians 12:9 reminds us that "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." As we move forward together, we can embrace each moment with compassion and understanding. Let’s extend grace to one another, recognising that it’s in our vulnerabilities that we find strength as we move towards a year filled with love, support, and the grace that binds us together as family.

In a world filled with chaos and uncertainty, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed; yet, amidst the noise, there’s a profound peace that transcends all understanding. As we navigate through the busyness of this year-end season, let’s remember the words of John 14:27: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” This promise reminds us that true peace is not found in our circumstances but in a deeper connection. Let us embrace this gift of peace and share it with those around us; and may we find comfort in knowing that we are never alone. If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME!

As we continue to chase for greater things, it’s easy to overlook the small beginnings that hold immense potential. Just like the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand, every little step we take matters. As we navigate through challenges and uncertainties, let us remember the words from Zechariah 4:10: “Do not despise these small beginnings, for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin.” Each moment of hope, each act of kindness, and every dream nurtured is a foundation for something greater. Join us on Sunday as we kick off a new sermon series centred around Advent and let us embrace our small beginnings together! If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME!

In a world that is often filled with rushing around, let us take a moment to pause and reflect on the blessings around us. In the excitement of it all, let us remember to express our gratitude for the opportunities and connections these moments bring. Indeed, Ephesians 5:20 reminds us to “always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” This season, let's celebrate the spirit of community and togetherness. Whether you're attending a local festival or welcoming visitors from afar in this season, let gratitude be at the heart of our interactions. If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME!

Living in a world that often prioritises outward appearances, it is important for us to remember that the true essence of beauty lies within. As 1 Peter 3:4 reminds us, "Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.” With this encouragement, let us then seek to cultivate a spirit that shines brightly amidst the chaos. Together, we can inspire others to see beyond the surface, recognise the profound worth of inner beauty, and celebrate our unique journeys to uplift one another!

In a world where uncertainty looms and hope often feels distant, we are called to stand firm in our faith. As 1 Peter 3:15 reminds us, “But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.” That is a wonderful reminder that each of us can contribute to a greater narrative of faith and unity, inspiring others to seek and find their own hope in Christ. Together, we can be vessels of God’s love, reaching out to those who feel lost or disconnected.  If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME! We would love to get to know you.

In a world where division can often prevail, let's draw inspiration from Acts 2:44: "All the believers were together and had everything in common." As we navigate the challenges of life, let's come together in unity and support. Whether it's through sharing resources, lending a helping hand, or simply being present for one another, our collective strength can bring about positive change. Let's embody the spirit of community and love that binds us. Together, we can make a difference for the sake of the world. If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME!

In a city as vibrant and dynamic as Hong Kong, we are blessed with opportunities to excel in many areas—faith, speech, knowledge, and love. As we navigate these bustling streets and towering skyscrapers, let's also remember to excel in the grace of giving. In these times of change and growth, let's focus on how we can contribute to our community and the world around us as we are inspired by 2 Corinthians 8:7 (NIV), which says: "But since you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you—see that you also excel in this grace of giving.” Together, let's make Hong Kong a beacon of hope and kindness.

In a world where we often cling tightly to our possessions, this verse reminds us of a profound truth: everything belongs to God. Indeed, giving isn't just about money—it's a heart matter. When we recognise that all we have is a gift from God, it becomes easier to open our hands and hearts to others. As we go about our week, let's challenge ourselves to see our resources through this lens. How can we use what we've been entrusted with to bless others and make our city a better place?

As we reflect on our purpose in this vibrant city of Hong Kong, let us remember the words from Ephesians 2:10: “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Let us always continue to embrace our calling to uplift one another. Whether through volunteering, supporting local initiatives, or simply spreading kindness, each of us has a unique gift to share.

In a world that often feels divided, the power of gifts—both tangible and intangible—can bridge gaps and foster connection. Inspired by Acts 16:15, where Lydia opens her home to Paul and his companions, we are reminded of the beauty of hospitality and generosity. Lydia's invitation wasn’t just about offering a place to stay; it was an act of faith and community that transformed her life and the lives of those around her.

In a time when our world faces unprecedented challenges, let us remember the enduring goodness and love of the LORD. As Psalm 100:5 reminds us, "For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.” Let us continue to stand united in faith and hope, knowing that our actions today shape the world for tomorrow. Together, we can create a legacy of love and resilience that will inspire those who follow us. If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME! We would love to get to know you.

As we reflect on our role in caring for creation, let’s remember the profound words from Genesis 2:15: “The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.” Indeed, we are witnessing the need for Christian stewardship more than ever as pressing issues like air pollution, plastic waste, and biodiversity loss are impacting our beloved city. The recent climate reports remind us that we must act now to protect our environment for future generations. Let us continue moving on this journey of creation care as we strive to live in harmony with nature and fulfil our responsibility to protect God's creation.

Last month, Hong Kong celebrated National Ecology Day 2024, so it is also good for us to reflect on how God has called us to be stewards of His creation. Creation care goes beyond just planting trees of course—it's about living in harmony with the world that God has entrusted to us. In the face of pressing environmental challenges like climate change and pollution, we have a responsibility to make choices that honour God's creation. Let us also be inspired to put our faith into action. We are God's masterpieces, created to do good works that make a difference in caring for His world. If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME!

In a world filled with uncertainty and challenges, it's crucial to hold onto the hope that sustains us. Inspired by 1 Peter 3:15, we are reminded to "always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have." This hope is not just a fleeting feeling but a profound conviction rooted in faith and the promise of a brighter future; it empowers us to respond with grace and courage, even when faced with adversity. It's a hope that inspires us to perform acts of kindness and compassion, reflecting the love and mercy of God. If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME! We would love to get to know you.
