저희 유초등부는 매주일 K-5학년 학생들과 모여 하나님께 마음과 정성을 다해 예배를 드리고 말씀을 배우며 삶 속에서 하나님을 더욱 사랑하고 이웃을 사랑하며 함께 자라나는 곳입니다.

저희 교회 비전센터에 들어오시면 왼쪽 벽에 역대하 7장 성경구절이 적혀있습니다.     솔로몬이 성전을 지은 후, 기도하였을때 여호와께서 에게 나타나셔서 하신 말씀입니다.            

 “내가 이미 네 기도를 듣고 이 곳을 택하여 내게 제사하는 성전을 삼았으니 내 이름으로 일컫는 내 백성이 그들의 악한 길에서 떠나 스스로 낮추고 기도하여 내 얼굴을 찾으면 내가 하늘에서 듣고 그들의 죄를 사하고 그들의 땅을 고칠지라 이제 이 곳에서 하는 기도에 내가 눈을 들고 귀를 기울이리니이는 내가 이미 이 성전을 택하고 거룩하게 하여 내 이름을 여기에 영원히 있게 하였음이라 내 눈과 내 마음이 항상 여기에 있으리라” 이 말씀처럼 저희 아이들이 어린나이일  때부터 하나님을 찾고 기도하며 죄를 회개하고 우리의 죄를 용서하시고 생명을 주신 예수님께 감사드리고 남은 삶 속에서 성령님을 의지하여 말씀에 순종하며 하나님 안에서 목적과 꿈을 찾아 주신 달란트를 하나님 나라를 위해 살아 세상의 빛과 소금이 되길 기도합니다.

Last Sunday, kids learned that the Holy Spirit changes us to be more like Jesus.

Bible verse: Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Galatians 5:25


 


In Acts 9, we see an example of a man who was completely changed from the inside out. Acts 9 starts by describing a notorious man named Saul, who maliciously threaterend, persecuted, and arrested the believers. Saul was on his way to Damascus to take the believers as prisoners to Jerusalem. Suddenly, a light from heaven flashed around him. Saul fell to the groundand heard a voice say to him, "Saul, Saul, who do you persecute me?" Saul asked, "Who are you, Lord?" He replied, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do." Saul got up from the ground but he could not see anything. For three days, he was blind, and he did not eat or drink anything. In Damascus, there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord appeared to him in a vision and instructed him to go pray for Saul. Then Ananias went to the house where Saul was staying and placed his hands on him. The Lord restored his sight and filled him with the Holy Spirit. Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul's eyes, Saul was baptized and after taking some food, he regained his strength. After that, Saul spent several days with the disciples in Damascus and he began to preach in the synagogues that Jesus is the Son of God. All those who heard him were astonished because they knew that this preacher was Saul who used to persecute and imprison the believers. Now we know him as Paul who completely surrendered his life to Christ and defended and spread the Gospel even through suffering and hardships. 


 


Just two chapters earlier in Acts 7, when the people stoned Stephen, a faithful believer to death, Saul approved of their killing him. Saul was merciless, ruthless, violent and evil man that despised the followers of Jesus. So how did he change? In Acts 9 verse 15, the Lord said to Ananias, "Go! This man is my chosen instrucment to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel. I will show him how much he must suffer for my name." God chose Saul as His instrument. It was God's plan and and His Will for Saul to spread the Gospel. And God demonstrated His Saving Grace to Saul. God took away his sight. Then God restored his sight. And He filled Saul with the Holy Spirit. That is how Saul was completely transformed, forgiven by God's unfathomable saving grace and changed by the Power of the Holy Spirit. It is God who fills us with the power of the Holy Spirit to correct, train, teach, lead, help and comfort us. The Holy Spirit changes us to be more like Jesus. Galatians 5:16 writes, "So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh." Galatians 5 commands us to live by the Spirit, producing the fruit of the Spirit, which is love, joy, peace, forbearence, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentless, and self-control. This week, let's ask God to help us live by the Holy Spirit's power every minute of our lives so we may be more like Jesus.
