Gratia Church enjoyed a warm and graceful time of fellowship with Korean language learners. As part of its service to the local community, Gratia Church has been offering Korean classes, which the learners have been attending regularly for about three months.

In welcoming the season of Advent, the group gathered at Pastor Tzeng’s home to share a potluck featuring warm Korean dishes. Although the participants come from diverse backgrounds, they are united by a shared interest in Korean language and culture. The gathering provided a meaningful opportunity to share stories, build friendships, and connect on a deeper level.

There’s Still a Mission

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.

She said to him, “Pardon me, my lord. As surely as you live, I am the woman who stood here beside you praying to the Lord. I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him. So now I give him to the Lord. For his whole life he will be given over to the Lord.” And he worshiped the Lord there.

Gratia Members Celebrate Thanksgiving with Service and Fellowship

by with No Comment News
The Gratia family gathered on November 21 to give thanks to God and to one another through a Thanksgiving service followed by a dinner fellowship.

Pastor Julia delivered a message based on Philippians 1:3–6, reflecting on Paul’s words, “I thank my God every time I remember you.” She reminded the congregation that all gratitude begins with God—the One who brought us together as a family in Christ. We give thanks not only for the visible acts of service such as teaching, praising, preparing, and helping, but even more for the sincere hearts behind them, the spiritual maturity growing among us, and the love that reflects Christ. Our gratitude is not simply for what God and people do, but for the love with which they serve. Above all, we give thanks not only for what God provides, but for God Himself—His heart, His character, and His unchanging love.

Following the service, members shared a Thanksgiving dinner, expressing appreciation for one another’s love and service. We pray that this grace continues to overflow in the hearts of all members as they walk together with the Lord.

The Parable of the Wedding Banquet

by with No Comment Sermons
Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.

“Then he sent some more servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’

“But they paid no attention and went off—one to his field, another to his business. The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.

“Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’ So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.

“But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend?’ The man was speechless.

“Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ “For many are invited, but few are chosen.”
