This past weekend, Pastor Eric D. Shin of New Life Fellowship Church in Houston, TX came down to sunny Southern California to bless us with God's Word on finishing our lives well as servants who devote their lives glorifying the Kingdom of God. Come listen as Pastor Eric gives us the raw and unfiltered reality of following Christ, which rather fulfills us more than anything the world has to offer to us.

This week, Pastor Tim refers to a passage within Luke 5 where he eats with the tax collectors, one of them notably known as Levi, which is the Hebrew name for the author of the first Gospel Matthew. The Pharisees, who hated the tax collectors like Matthew, questions Jesus as to why he is eating with those types of people, and the answer was plain simple: Jesus ate with the sinners. He chose to provide life for them, and for us.

We continue in Luke 5 as we listen to the passage of the paralyzed man being healed by Jesus, all of which was assisted by the paralyzed man's friends who helped him get brought down so that he can approach Jesus. This is a passage where we're able to realize that despite our struggles and sins, this race was never meant to be run alone but rather with those around us--on top of that, God's desire to save us is so much greater from our desire to be saved, so we hope this is an encouragement for all those who are fighting their spiritual battles at this moment.

As with the other Gospels, Luke also recounts the story of the leper whom Jesus healed when he approached him. In Jewish historical context, lepers were exiled into their own designated camps and yet the faith that the leper had a about Jesus being the healer and the risk he took to see him within the city, where he was banned from being in, was more than enough proof for the Son to heal his leprosy. In the end, we are all like the leper ourselves going through the process of forgiveness that Christ provides--and yet, he spends solitude with God through all this, not drawing the attention to him but to the Father.

As we continue our series in Luke, we get to the passage that mostly everyone is familiar with--the calling of the disciples. A big thing to note about these disciples is that they weren't scholarly individuals or anything--they were just fishermen, which was the lowliest of all jobs at the time. Yet Jesus calls them to drop everything they have and follow him, and what brilliance did they have to obey his commands and shake up history as we see it today. This applies to us in house church ministry as well: fishers of men confess, obey, and follow. Let's strive to be those reaching the lost.

This week, Reverend Tim goes talks about demons, which actually exist in this world. We see demons trying to oppress us, especially Christians, because they know how to stray us away from God. But little do these demons know that Jesus casts them out of our hearts and remains triumphant in us, and because of that, we strive to be more like Him and drive the demons out while remaining steadfast in His Word.
