<p>The name of Jesus is the name of God. That name itself is the name of salvation. It’s not a name that anyone can misuse.</p><p>Let’s not be overly critical of those who are united in Christ. Even among churches, we should have compassion for each other, supporting, encouraging, correcting, reforming, and patiently enduring with the hope that all believers and all churches may be made whole.</p><p> </p><p>Living by faith means moving according to God’s plan; it’s not living by our own will, but according to God’s purpose. To do that, we must know God’s will. To understand God’s will, we need to receive the Holy Spirit and be filled with the Holy Spirit. Only with the fullness of the Spirit’s wisdom and faith can we truly know.</p><p> </p><p>Sometimes, the faith we hold—such as righteous anger or a sense of justice—may not align with God’s will. Surprisingly, God often has a third path. It’s not about our own thoughts, but about the unexpected path that God provides. This path can only be known by receiving and being filled with the Holy Spirit.</p><p> </p><p><i>Excerpt from the sermon by Pastor Lee, Aug 23, 2024.</i></p><p><i>Luke 9:49-56</i></p>
