  • This Sunday, we embrace "The Power of Worship" and the profound peace it brings, as promised in Philippians 4:7: "And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Amidst the hustle and ever-changing tides of our city, worship stands as a beacon of hope, a practice that goes beyond Sunday rituals—it's a transformative force that renews our spirit daily. It's in worship that we find the strength to rise above our challenges, to see beyond the turmoil, and to anchor ourselves in the steadfast love and sovereignty of God.

    ================This Week's Scripture:// Psalm 122 //A song of ascents. Of David.I rejoiced with those who said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord.”Our feet are standing in your gates, Jerusalem.Jerusalem is built like a city that is closely compacted together.That is where the tribes go up— the tribes of the Lord—to praise the name of the Lord according to the statute given to Israel.There stand the thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you be secure.May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.”For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.”For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your prosperity.

  • This Sunday, we will begin a new series that explores how to be a disciple in an instant world. In our busy city, where every second counts, we face a choice in our spiritual walk: to be pilgrims or tourists. As pilgrims, we embark on a journey of discipleship, delving deep into the heart of our faith, committing to a path that shapes our very being. As tourists, we may only skim the surface, seeking instant gratification without the transformative experience. Yet no matter the pace of our city or the instant nature of our world, nothing can sever the bond we share with the divine as Romans 8:38-39 so aptly puts it: For I am convinced that neither death nor life [...] nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

  • Amidst the ebb and flow of life, the spirit of community remains our strongest ally. As Hong Kong navigates its waves of challenges, it's the strength and warmth of our collective efforts that shines through. As we deepen our bonds with God and one another through our all-church weekend Retreat, we pray that you look forward to a powerful time that forges our sense of togetherness and shared vision for the city. As it says in Hebrews 10:24, ”Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds..."

  • This Sunday, we will look at how it is easy to overlook the wounds we carry within us. Yet it is in acknowledging our vulnerabilities that we find true strength and healing. As we navigate through the complexities of life in Hong Kong, let's take a moment to reflect on the profound message of Isaiah 53:5. "He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed."

The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.

  • As we ready our hearts for Sunday, let's take a moment to reflect on the profound wisdom of Galatians 6:2: "Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” Let us always continue to remember that the true strength of our community lies in our unity and our willingness to uplift one another. Together, we can embody the faith of a friend and, in doing so, fulfil the law of Christ by spreading love, compassion, and understanding throughout our vibrant city.

    ================This Week's Scripture:// Mark 2:1-11 //A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

    Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves, “Why does this fellow talk like that? He’s blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

    Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, “Why are you thinking these things? Which is easier: to say to this paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat and walk’? But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the man, “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.”

  • As we reflected on the sorrow that marked Holy Week, we now look forward to the enduring message of hope and renewal in the coming Sunday. As we witness the city’s continued resilience, we are reminded of the profound words of Jesus, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die
" (John 11:25). In every corner of our city, we see life blooming anew in the midst. Let's carry this spirit of rebirth in our hearts, believing in the possibility of new beginnings and the promise of a brighter future. For in faith and unity, we find the strength to rise, again and again.

    ================This Week's Scripture:// Key Verses //John 20:1-2: Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”

    John 20:15-17: He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”

    Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”

    Jesus said to her, “Mary.”

    She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).

    Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”

    John 20:19-20: On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.

  • As we navigate the vibrant streets of Hong Kong, let's pause and reflect on the divine presence in every corner of our world. This Sunday, join us for a sermon that will inspire you to perceive and participate in God's work around us. The words of Luke 19:39-40 remind us that the message of faith will continue to resound: Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!” Jesus replied, “I tell you, if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”

    ================This Week's Scripture:// Luke 19:29-40 //As he approached Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it.’”

    Those who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had told them. As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?”

    They replied, “The Lord needs it.”

    They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on it. As he went along, people spread their cloaks on the road.

    When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen: “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”

    Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”

    “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”

  • Amidst the vibrant energy of Hong Kong, let's pause to embrace the quiet strength of "Faith in the Wilderness.” As we witness the city's transformation with Hong Kong’s annual Flower Show, let us also cultivate a faith within us that can move mountains. Indeed, as Matthew 17:20 says, "Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Join us this Sunday as we continue to journey through this Lenten season, finding faith that sustains us, even in the wilderness of life's uncertainties.

    ================This Week's Scripture:// Key Verses //Psalm 23:1-4:The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures,he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul.He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.Even though I walk through the darkest valley,I will fear no evil, for you are with me;your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

    Matthew 26:36-44:Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”

    Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”

    Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter. “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

    He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.”

    When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.

  • This Sunday, we're tackling the heartfelt plea, "Help My Unbelief," inspired by Mark 9:24. As we continue to strive for more, let's find the courage to admit our doubts and seek a deeper faith together. As the boy’s father exclaimed, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” Let us also join in exploring this honest struggle between belief and doubt, and how it can lead to a stronger, more resilient faith.

    ================This Week's Scripture:// Mark 9:21-25 //Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?”

    “From childhood,” he answered. “It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us.”

    “‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”

    Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”

    When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the impure spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” he said, “I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.”

  • Join us this Sunday as we explore the profound question: "What Is Faith?” Inspired by Jesus' promise in John 11:25, we'll delve into the mystery and power of faith that transcends even death as the verse shows Jesus saying, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die..."

    Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”

    Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

    Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

    “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”

  • Join us at Community Church this Sunday to dive deeper into "Evolving Faith" and discover how we can live out this radical call in our daily lives, especially amidst the current events shaping our city. In navigating the bustling streets and vibrant spirit of Hong Kong, we encourage take a moment this weekend to reflect on a powerful message from Matthew 5:38-39a: "You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' But I tell you, do not resist an evil person.” As the world shows that retaliation appears to be the norm, Jesus calls us to an evolving faith—one that responds to challenges not with vengeance, but with love and non-resistance.

    ================This Week's Scripture:// Key Passages //1 Corinthians 12:12-14 (NIV): Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.

    1 Corinthians 12:26-27 (NIV): If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.

    1 John 3:1 (NIV): See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

    2 Corinthians 6:18 (NIV): And, “I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”

  • In this Sunday's message, we return to our primal questions, drawing inspiration from 1 John 2:6, which says, “Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.” How can we align our lives with Christ's example and cultivate connections that reflect His love and grace? Join us as we explore the primal questions that shape our interactions and discover the transformative power of authentic relationships.

  • This Sunday, we continue with "Primal Questions, Part 2," a captivating journey of personal transformation.

Join us on a journey of self-discovery as we explore the primal questions that shape our lives this Sunday. What defines our identity? How do we measure success? We will delve into 1 Samuel 16:7, which reminds us, “The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

  • As we step into the new year, let us embrace the promise of flourishing and the abundant blessings that await us. Just like the beautiful feet that bring good news, we are called to be messengers of hope, peace, and salvation. Indeed, in Isaiah 52:7, it says, “How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, 'Your God reigns!'"

  • As we approach Christmas Eve, let us pause and reflect on the profound truth encapsulated in these words. As Luke 2:11 shares, love came near to us, not in grandeur or splendour, but in the humble form of a baby: Jesus, our Saviour, Messiah, and Lord. The birth of Jesus is a divine reminder of God's immeasurable love for humanity. It is a love that reaches beyond the boundaries of time and space, offering hope, forgiveness, and eternal redemption. This love knows no limits, embraces the broken, and brings healing to our souls.

    ================This Week's Scripture:// Luke 2:4-12 (NIV) //So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.

    And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
