Blog: Small Groups: Friendship, Fellowship, Family

8/30/2015

I've been part of the OEM community for the past 4 years, one month and seven days. But, as many can probably relate to, when I first joined OEM, I found it a bit overwhelming. I enjoyed coming to church, but it was challenging getting to know people beyond a friendly hello and goodbye. That is, until I joined my first small group.

Blog Series: Portraits of Christ: Luke's Gospel, part 2

8/18/2015

Imagine living as a Jewish person in the province of Judea around the time of Jesus. Not only do you live under Roman oppression and taxation, but the Romans have carved out the province from the rest of Palestine so that it has few economic centers or resources, making the area fairly poor.

Blog Series: Portraits of Christ: Luke's Gospel

8/10/2015

Particularly in Luke, we see a Jesus born and raised in the backwaters of insignificant Jewish towns - born in Bethlehem, and growing up in the small farm village of Nazareth. You would think that if God mainly cared for or wanted to influence the powerful and mighty of the world, then Jesus should have been born in Rome, or Athens, or Alexandria, or at least Jerusalem.

Blog Series: New Testament Portraits of Christ

Who is Jesus to you? Reflect on that for a minute. Your mind will probably first turn to some standard explanations that you learned in church. But do you really understand what that means very deeply? Is it an understanding that really challenges your spiritual life?

Blog: Showers of Blessings

8/4/2015

When I moved to my new (yet quite old) apartment in Seoul, I was super annoyed that my shower didn’t work properly. It oscillated between scalding and freezing at random and often lost pressure multiple times per shower. How could I live like this?!
