Community Church Hong Kong Podcast

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 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.

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.

In a world filled with challenges, especially here in Hong Kong, we are reminded of our calling as servants of Christ. As we navigate through economic struggles and the pressing need for compassion, let us hold onto the truth found in 1 Corinthians 4:1: “This, then, is how you ought to regard us: as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the mysteries God has revealed.” We are not merely passive observers; we are active participants in sharing the gospel and embodying love in action.

In the quiet hours when the world sleeps, there are those who tirelessly serve, bringing light to the shadows. As we reflect on the words of Matthew 6:3, “But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,” let us remember the beauty of selfless giving; because amidst the hustle and bustle of life in Hong Kong, many face challenges that often go unnoticed. Together then, let’s continue to uplift one another and spread love throughout our community and city. If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME! We would love to get to know you.

In the spirit of "Unity in Community," we draw inspiration from Psalm 133, which beautifully reminds us, "How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!" As we navigate through the challenges of our times, let us come together to celebrate our diverse backgrounds and shared dreams. Just like the precious oil that flows down, we let our kindness and compassion flow freely among us, creating a bond that strengthens our community.

In the midst of Hong Kong's hottest summer, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the unexpected—whether that be sudden rain or just how hot things have suddenly gotten! Yet, in these moments, we are reminded to lean on an unexpected God who strengthens us from within. As Ephesians 3:16 (NIV) shares, "I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being.” God often works in ways we least expect, providing hope and strength in the most surprising circumstances. So let us stay strong and trust in the unexpected God who fortifies us from within. If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME! We would love to get to know you.

In today's world, we often hear debates about who the "Greatest of All Time" (GOAT) is in sports, music, and other fields. But in the Kingdom of God, the answer might surprise you. Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 18:3). This powerful verse reminds us that greatness in God's eyes is not about power, fame, or achievements. Instead, it’s about humility, innocence, and a pure heart. Just as children trust and depend on their parents, we are called to trust and depend on God with childlike faith. If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME! We would love to get to know you.

In a world where technology evolves at lightning speed, it's awe-inspiring to reflect on the ultimate source of all creation. As Hong Kong buzzes with innovation, from digital currency platforms to beloved robotic cats, we're reminded of a timeless truth: "For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him" (Colossians 1:16). This verse beautifully captures the essence of God's role in all creation, including the marvels of science and technology we witness daily while drawing us deeper into God’s heart.

In the hustle and bustle of our fast-paced city, it's easy to get caught up in the noise and chaos. Yet, amidst the challenges we face—be it economic uncertainties, mental health struggles, or the pressures of daily life—there's a timeless wisdom that calls us to find strength in stillness. Isaiah 30:15b reminds us: *"...in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it."* Let this be a gentle reminder to pause, reflect, and find peace in the quiet moments. In a world that demands instant results, let’s embrace the power of a quieted soul. If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME! We would love to get to know you.

In a world bustling with events and activities, it's essential to remember that our faith should be more than just words—it should be reflected in our actions. As James 2:17 reminds us, "Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” Join us this Sunday as we hear from Marilee Pierce Dunker, who is the author of 5 books and the daughter of the founder of the international Christian NGO, World Vision, on how we are all called into action and moved for God’s heart for all peoples.

In the hustle and bustle of our fast-paced lives, it's easy to forget the profound gifts we've received. As we navigate through the challenges and changes in Hong Kong, let's take a moment to reflect on the power of forgiveness, restoration, and the great grace of God through the confidence of Psalm 103:2: "Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all his benefits.” In these times of rapid technological advancements and societal shifts, may we remember to anchor ourselves in gratitude and faith. God's grace is a constant, guiding us through every trial and triumph. Let's embrace His forgiveness and allow it to restore our hearts and communities. If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME!
