These were my final two Sundays as the pastor of Zoe Fellowship. I have served here for about 5 years. It has been a joy to serve these wonderful people for this season of our lives. Some family things have led me to decide to go ahead and step down from my position here. I am forever grateful to Korean World Mission Baptist Church to allow me to serve as a minister of the gospel for these many years. I look forward to seeing what God has in store for me and my family in this upcoming season. It is a bittersweet thing to have formed a family like this and then have to move on from it. By no means will it mean we will never see each other or spend time together. In fact, we might actually see more of each other now. But it does mean that a sun has set and we await a new one to rise. We don’t know what that day brings but we know we have a faithful God who will lead us and never leave us and will provide new mercies. He’s equipped us with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to sing as we rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. He’s given us a Word that does not wither or fade but ensures forever. Until then, my prayer for this group is that we’ve taken all that we’ve gained during this season of our lives and practice to love God, our neighbors, and one another in the way He has called us to. “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends…So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”
