A Message from Pastor Holgie Choi

I recently came across Psalm 107:1, which says, “Give thanks to the Lord for He is good; for His steadfast love endures forever.” How do we know that God is good?  How can we feel God’s love in light of our suffering?  In our faithful walk, God doesn’t take away the storms in our lives.  In fact, through a deeper understanding of faith, I understand that God walks with us through the storm and suffers with us through our incarnational relationship with His Son.

​

We also know that God is fully good in our incarnational relationship with one another.  God’s presence is fully known through our community where we worship together on Sunday mornings.  We cannot be spiritual people without a spiritual community.  With this in mind, I come to the conclusion that I am grateful to have all of you as part of my spiritual walk with God. It is a blessing to serve God and worship with many of you on Sunday mornings. 

​

I look forward to the upcoming Advent season. The first Sunday of Advent is December 1st, which begins a new church calendar year.  In light of all that we have experienced this past year including an election, how will this season of change be different for you?  Do you still have any worries?  What are we still dealing with as a community of faith?  I have my questions too.  But, let me remind all of us that we are not alone.  Christ will always be with us until the very end.
