Resurrection People-Our Worship

Speaker: Pastor Kelly J. Tam

Scripture: Revelation 1:17–18a

The resurrection of Jesus leads us to worship a presence.

17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as if I were dead. But he laid his right hand on me and said, “Don’t be afraid! I am the First and the Last. 18 I am the living one. I died, but look—I am alive forever and ever!

—Revelation 1:17-18a

37 Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment.

—Matthew 22:37-38

1. Worship with our hearts means we have honest grief and joyful praise.

2. Worship with our body means our whole being praises and declares the King.

3. Worship with our souls means our worship is a spiritual encounter.

Sermon Notes

Resurrection People-Our Work

Speaker: Rev. Ho-Ming Tsui

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:58

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labour in the Lord is not in vain.

—1 Corinthians 15:58

We are Easter people living in a Friday world, and our work declares that Friday is not the final word.

(1) The Resurrection Stirs Our Compassion for the Hurting

He executes justice [mishpat] for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing.

—Deuteronomy 10:18

This is what the Lord Almighty said: “Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the foreigner or the poor.

—Zechariah 7:9-10a

The Gospel’s Impact: We look at someone in need and we see ourselves.

(2) The Resurrection Gives Us Confidence in What We’re Doing

The Resurrection proves that death has no grip on the person of Jesus, but also on the work of Jesus.

What can I do?

1. Start with the person next to you

2. Pray that God would open your eyes

Resurrection People-Our Witness

Speaker: Pastor Jonathan Moe

Scripture: Luke 24:46-48, Acts 1:8

The Big Idea: The resurrection doesn’t just give us a message; it makes us its witnesses.

1.The Resurrection Makes Evangelism an Announcement, Not an Argument

• We are witnesses announcing a reality!

2.Witness Begins With "We Have Seen"

• A witness is someone who can say: "This is what I have seen"

• The Power of the gospel is not just in abstract ideas — it is in lives transformed.

3.The Resurrection Gives Courage for the Awkward Conversations

• We are joining Him in what he is already doing.

• Matthew 28: 16-20

• The great commission = the great co-mission

How do we Live as a Resurrection people?

1.Witness in everyday Spaces

• Where has Jesus been real to you lately?

• Moments of peace, guidance or grace?

• Be Real

2.Witness as a Community

• Support one another - help each other

• Church events are not just activities; they are ways of being present

If you have encountered Jesus and experienced his grace, his presence, his life— Then you are a witness.

Resurrection People-Our Walk

Speaker: Pastor Angela Luk

Scripture: Romans 6:1-14

Big Idea: The resurrection is not merely a past event we celebrate but a present power we inhabit. Because Jesus is alive, we are called to walk in a fundamentally new kind of humanity — one that is being renewed from the inside out.

1. The Resurrection Redefines Identity

2. The Resurrection Breaks the Power of Sin

3. The Resurrection Gives Hope to Our Struggle

The Walk of a Resurrected People

1. We do not seek to trade on the mercy of God and to make it an excuse for sinning.

2. Those who follow Christ are committed to a different walk of life.

3. There is more than a mere ethical change in our lives when we accept Christ. There is a real identification with Christ as Resurrection People.

Application

• If you have not yet been baptized, consider taking the next step in your faith journey!

• Keep a journal of your spiritual journey as you become more like Christ each day.

Road to the Cross: The Lonely Road to the Cross

Speaker: Pastor Jonathan Moe

Scripture: Mark 2: 1-12

Big Idea: Jesus walked the loneliest road to the cross so we would never walk alone.

1. The Reality of Isolation (v.1–2)

- Truth #1: Isolation is often the (barrier) before the miracle.

2. The Power of Community (v.3–4)

- Truth #2: If you isolate, you stagnate. If you connect, you move.

3. The Importance of Forgiveness (v.5–10)

- Key truth #3: “Forgiveness is the greater miracle—because it costs more.”

4. The Cost of the Cross (v.8–12)

- Truth #4:

Jesus walked alone…so we don’t have to.

He takes our sin...so we can receive His righteousness.

Because He was forsaken....we are never abandoned.

Lent - The Painful Road

Speaker: Rev. Kelly J. Tam

Scripture: John 5:1-15

Who was he? | What was his pain?

He was not named. | The Pain of Emptiness

He was not a Follower. | The Pain of Being Lost

God is near to the broken-hearted.
