Philippians is a letter written for the church built in Philipi , the first city in Macedonia, which Paul visited after hearing the " The cry of Macedonia" during his so-called second missionary journey. At the time of writing this letter, Paul was in prison, confined and bound.
However, the Philippian church sent Epaphroditus as a representative of the believers to Paul in prison and provided support such as donations and supplies through him. Paul was so moved that he expressed in the letter, "I thank my God every time I remember you.... I always pray with joy" . The Philippian church and Paul were deeply and strongly tied together by a solid relationship of trust.
In Philippians 1:9, Paul prayed, “your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,..”. Today we will listen to the message of the Apostle Paul that resonates from this passage of Scripture.

Today we have Pentecost worship. Pentecost means "50th day" in Greek. Today is Sunday, the 50th day since Jesus Christ died on the cross, was buried, and was resurrected. In today's Bible passage, Acts 2:1, it says, "When the day of Pentecost came,"
Pentecost was originally celebrated by churches in the time of the New Testament, which took over the Feast of Weeks, one of the three major festivals of Israel. In Judea, they celebrated on the seventh week from the day when they put the sickle into the first ears of wheat, as a festival of giving thanks for the blessings received from God and offering thanksgiving for the harvest. That day was considered to coincide with the day when Moses received the law from the Lord on the mountain of God (Horeb; Mount Sinai), and it became an important Memorial Day.
The Holy Spirit descended on the disciples in front of the Jews who had come up to Jerusalem from all over the world to celebrate the three major Jewish festivals, and then they taught the words of the Gospel with “understandable words”. Today, we will listen to the message of the Bible from this passage.

In today's passage, Genesis 18:16 and the following paragraphs, it says the three angels, who predicted the birth of Isaac to Abraham, went to inspect the towns of Sodom and Gomorrah.
The sins of Sodom and Gomorrah were so serious that the news reached the ears of the Lord in heaven. When Abraham knew that the Lord God was going to destroy these towns, he came before the Lord and pleaded for Sodom.
"If there are fifty righteous people in that city, won't you forgive the city for the fifty?"¡¡He asked and the Lord answered, “If there are fifty righteous people in Sodom, I will forgive the whole city for them.”
When Abraham heard this answer, he bargained little by little for the number of the righteous. We ended up with 10 people. The Lord God said to Abraham, "For those ten, I will not destroy." This morning, we would like to listen to God's message that resounds through this passage as we turn over in our mind what "intercessory prayer" means.

In today's passage of scripture, 1 Corinthians Chapter 12, the apostle Paul explains the "spiritual gifts" given to each member of the church.
He says that the Triune God gives “the spiritual gifts” to each person according to each personality; to one there is given a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge, to another faith by the same Spirit . And he says each gift is different because they are “for the common good.” (ver. 7).
The Church of Christ is exactly "one body," as Paul preaches. In the human body, the eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't want you," or the head to the foot, "I don't want you." Each one plays a role as an important part of the body.
The church is same, says Paul. Each person is a limb that constitutes “the body of Christ.” Good looks aren't important. On the contrary, Paul says that the part that "looks weak in the body" is actually necessary.

The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and asked him to show them a sign from heaven. They were so different in their understanding of the faith that they would not normally work together. However, all of them had a hostile relationship with Jesus, so this time they fought together to test Jesus.
The Jews asked for a "sign" to confirm their faith. InµCorinthians 1:22, we find "Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, ..." They tried to recognize the testimony and splendor of their faith in certain visible "signs."
But Jesus says, " A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah." What does this mean? Also, what does it mean to " interpret the signs of the times"? We will listen to this through the words of today's passage of scripture.
