Gratia Christmas Service: Newcomers, Carols Singing, God’s Blessings

December 25, 2020

by sfadmin with No Comment News

On December 25, 2020, Gratia Church held a graceful Christmas service both online and onsite with several newcomers attending their first ever Christmas service. Pastor Walker Tzeng delivered the message from Luke 2:1-21 entitled, “Gloria in excelsis Deo! Glory to God in the highest.” The message emphasized the very real birth of Jesus in manger and how God came to us in a humble way to establish a relationship of love with us through His Son.

At the end of the Christmas service, Gratia members opened their gifts from their “Secret Santa”. These gifts were sent to Gratia members in the weeks prior, given by a person chosen at random and in secret. The online participants were mailed a gift since it is a time of pandemic. Members were excited and thankful for God’s blessing of a gift from the heart of another member.

We thank God for pouring down grace upon Gratia’s Christmas Service. Please pray for the newcomers to set up their faith in Jesus Christ and be a part of helping grow Gratia Church to be a glory to God.

Romans Bible Study at 7 AM for Youth & Adults

July 20, 2020

by sfadmin with No Comment News

Gratia members are studying Romans every morning at 7 am (Pacific Time). It is a time for youth and adults to dive deep into the Word of God.

For example, on July 22, Pastor Walker shared Romans 1:24-27, where it says God gave depraved mankind over to their sinful desires:

“We misunderstand God’s rules and commandments as restricting our freedom, but in actuality, those are what gives us true freedom. Athletes train hard with discipline in order to “free” their potential to be elite sports stars. In the same way, God’s rules, commandments, faith discipline are there to give us the freedom to live by the Holy Spirit and not in sin.”

The Bible Study gives plenty of time for Q&A to ask questions freely and meditate on the Word of God deeply. Since the Bible Study is at 7 AM, it also wakes us up to be refreshed in God’s Word daily. Everyone is welcomed to join Monday through Friday at 7 AM, onsite and online via Zoom: https://zoom.us/j/7247612612

Wednesday Bible Study – God’s Compassion on the Story of Jonah

July 15, 2020

by sfadmin with No Comment News

Gratia church held graceful Wednesday Bible study on July 15 , 2020. Pastor Julia shared the book of Jonah and members spend the time of sharing and prayer afterward.

“We have our cold judgment and self-righteousness that is different than God’s. Throughout the whole story of Jonah, we can see God’s compassionate heart toward the sinners who cannot tell their right hand from their left. Without having this compassionate heart, we will not able to share the love of God. We are indifferent to people or ignore the heart of God by not sharing the message to the people who are going toward the eternal hell. The one who received salvation gained eternal life by grace but at the same time we are obligated to share the salvation to the people who are next to us.” shared Pastor Julia.

Wednesday Bible Studies are held online and onsite at 6 PM via Zoom: https://zoom.us/j/7247612612
