    I will be giving sermons at the Houston Seoul Church next Sunday (3/16). It is still not easy for me to stand in front of people. To make matters worse, I have to speak in front of  many unfamiliar faces. Also the Houston Seoul Church in and of itself adds to the gravity as well. It is the birthplace of many legendaries. I often get tired just giving two sermons in a day at Hanmaum church and wonder how pastors from big churches can give the sermon several times a day. Next week, I have to do the same, giving sermons from morning to evening.  I have to prepare two different sermons and preach four times.

     

    At first, I accepted the invitation because I was a senior pastor of the Hanmaum church. However, as time passes, my motivation has changed. Now I hope to stand in front of the pulpit only with my love for the Lord. I pray that I should be able to handle all things only with my love for the Lord. Please pray for me that I will be walking with God during this journey. Pray for me that the heart Jesus had when he spoke to the people will be poured into my heart.  I am with my wife for the trip. I leave Saturday and come back late on Monday night. Please pray for the trip as well. 

     

    I asked Mokja Yeon Jin Kim to give a sermon next week at Hanmaum church in my absence. He and I have long been early morning prayer bodies. As I pray, covered with the blanket under the cross, I start to hear Mokja Yeon Jin prayer from the back.  Many times I regain strength hearing his prayer in the morning. It is like reinforcement arrived. For the last few years, I was really grateful to see his heart being formed into a jewel. Spirituality and semon are similar but also different so please pray together with him  when he prepares for the sermon.  I pray that God will again talk to us through Mokja Yeon Jin Kim.
