Homecoming

Last weekend, DKC celebrated its 28th Anniversary. But along with the celebration, we also dedicated our new Missions Center. In doing so, we invited all of our alumni and former pastors to come celebrate with us. What a blessed weekend it was, despite the crazy hours, the endless meetings, the various plans that seemed to change constantly, and the minimal sleep that was had. One thing was for certain....that upon hearing the messages from our pastors and missionaries and friends, we can definitely sense that God loves DKC and the people who come/go through our church. To start from a small bible study group of 7 families to now having our own mission center, is a true testament of God's love and faithfulness.
But one thing I wanted to share was the message that P. Jimbob Park had to share with our english-speaking congregation. His message was simple, coming from Matthew 25. It's the story of the talents. P. Jimbob had 3 points, but I can only remember 2 of them. The first was to have a vision...and his definition of "vision" was to be able to see the end product. What is the end product we aim to achieve in our lives? What is God's end product for me?
Secondly, he shared how regardless of how many talents we're blessed with, we need to do all we can to use our talents. He talked about the servant given 1 talent who hid it. P. Jimbob said even with the 1 talent, we ought to use it for God's glory. We may think we don't have talent or aren't skilled enough, but that's not the way God sees it. And if we are responsible with what little we are given, then God will entrust us with much more down the road. His analogy was about tithing and how we make excuses about not tithing and that we will once we make more money. But if we can't sacrifice with the little we have, how much harder will it be when we have so much more? It's about establishing discipline...
P. Daniel Kim's message on Sunday was just as good too.....talked about "Wave Generation" and how to catch that wave in our Christian faith. Man...I miss his sermons. Goes straight to the core of the heart.
Thanks to everyone who served so diligiently. It's exciting to see how God will use DKC now in the years to come. I'm just glad to have been a part of it these last 15+ years and can't wait to see how He'll use me in the years ahead.
