12:35-40<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/churchpeace.org\/sermon\/2010\/2010-08-15.mp3\">mp3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Today is the 65th anniversary of Korea\u2019s independence. We celebrate this day through a family worship. At some point in our church\u2019s history, we started separating our the generations. Leaders of Korean American churches worry that the young people leave the church. I don\u2019t think people have nailed down the issue. I think the issue is that we keep on making the worship format comfortable for ourselves, and at some point in adulthood, worship is not what it used to be. Of course, as an immigrant community, it\u2019s hard to have an intergenerational service because of the language barrier. Often young people call the church and ask if there\u2019s a worship service for young people. They are Korean language speakers. But we don\u2019t have a worship service for young people. I wonder, where did we start wrong?<\/p>\n<p>We must recognize however that church is not somewhere we come to be comfortable. It is actually somewhere where we stay uncomfortable, to worship God. When we greet relatives, it\u2019s uncomfortable because we need to adjust to them. When we worship God, we can\u2019t set the place for ourselves. Our Lord\u2019s words make us uncomfortable. We just want to live by ourselves, but God command us to live with our neighbors. We want to win, but God wants us to lose. We want to rise above others, but God commands us to humble ourselves. We want to have it all, but God commands us to share with others. We want to brag about what we own, but God commands us to give them all away. Isn\u2019t this a place of discomfort? Real faith is about suffering this discomfort, and to enjoy a comfort from God at the end of it. Admitting the discomfort of the world is the first step towards salvation. If the world was comfortable, who would bother to seek salvation?<\/p>\n<p>Discomfort: in other words, God wants us to be prepared. To be always prepared as people of faith. Today, God tells to stay awake and prepared, because the Master may come back at any moment. The Master does not come until very late at night. It is the role of servants to await the Master. But to stay awake is no simple task. The Master tells servants who awaited him that they are to be blessed. Here, the Master signifies the Lord. We must always be awake in front of our Lord.&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","filesize_raw":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-2648","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/churchpeace.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2648","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/churchpeace.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/churchpeace.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/churchpeace.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/churchpeace.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2648"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/churchpeace.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2648\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2650,"href":"https:\/\/churchpeace.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2648\/revisions\/2650"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/churchpeace.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2648"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
