Sunday Sermon: Let God Grow - For the Things of Your Heart (Part 4)

Spoken by Pastor Chang Cho on Sunday, January 31st

Mark 4:1-9
¹Again Jesus began to teach by the lake. The crowd that gathered around him was so large that he got into a boat and sat in it out on the lake, while all the people were along the shore at the water's edge. ²He taught them many things by parables, and in his teaching said: ³"Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed. ⁴As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. ⁵Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. ⁶But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. ⁷Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain. ⁸Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, multiplying thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times."
 ⁹Then Jesus said, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

Celebrating Jesus: The Christmas Banquet Videos

You probably saw these videos back when we had our banquet in December - but you know, maybe you didn't.

Even if you did, we had four of those things playing 15 minutes apart from each other so maybe you left the banquet thinking: what was that about?

Well scroll down because you can watch them here back-to-back!

They're all here now on our YN212 youtube channel as well so you can fave them for later.

And soon to be on Creative Ministry's channel too - they've got the banquet videos from 2008 posted up on there.

For now, enjoy the videos we got up here once again.

Sunday Sermon: Let God Grow - Hungry For True Intimacy (Part 3)

Spoken on January 24th by Pastor Chang Cho

Mark 4:13-20
¹³Then Jesus said to them, "Don't you understand this parable? How then will you understand any parable? ¹⁴The farmer sows the word. ¹⁵Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them. ¹⁶Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy. ¹⁷But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. ¹⁸Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; ¹⁹but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful. ²⁰Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—thirty, sixty or even a hundred times what was sown."

Sorry for the late post!
I think by now if you're someone who's been following the Sunday Sermons you've come to expect these mp3s to be a few days late. I apologize for that because I know that a lot of you are away from Toronto or can't make it to church week-to-week to hear Chang's sermons in person.

I hope you all had a good new years.
I also hope that you're transition back in to your daily lives was smooth.

And yes, now we're a week in to 2010 - maybe that feeling of excitement from the new year has settled in and passed on and the new year won't really be a big thing anymore. The party's over and it's back to real life.

But there's still a lot to consider outside of our unfulfilled desires and wants.
What about the desires of God's heart?
Is 2010 the year when we start taking our minds off of ourselves and looking at the bigger picture - the picture where God is at the centre of it all?

When do we start allowing God to work in our lives?
How do we let God grow in our lives?

I don't usually write anything to accompany the Sunday Sermons that get posted here.

I wanted to say something this time because if 2010 was meant to be a year for change, then I encourage all of you to really listen to this sermon and...that's because Chang preaching God's word should encourage you better than my words.

At least for me, it has served to be a helpful reminder to take on a new attitude towards God.
I hope and pray it's the same for you.
Let's continue to start building God's kingdom instead of our own personal ones.

Happy New Year!!

Wow, 2010 is already here!
We hope God will help you grow this year, and bring many new blessings.
