Amidst the vibrant energy of Hong Kong, let's pause to embrace the quiet strength of "Faith in the Wilderness.” As we witness the city's transformation with Hong Kong’s annual Flower Show, let us also cultivate a faith within us that can move mountains. Indeed, as Matthew 17:20 says, "Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Join us this Sunday as we continue to journey through this Lenten season, finding faith that sustains us, even in the wilderness of life's uncertainties.

================This Week's Scripture:// Key Verses //Psalm 23:1-4:The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.     He makes me lie down in green pastures,he leads me beside quiet waters,     he refreshes my soul.He guides me along the right paths    for his name’s sake.Even though I walk    through the darkest valley,I will fear no evil,    for you are with me;your rod and your staff,    they comfort me.
Matthew 26:36-44:Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”
Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”
Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter. “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.”
When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.

================This Week's Scripture:// Mark 9:21-25 //Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?”
“From childhood,” he answered. “It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us.”
“‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”
Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”
When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the impure spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” he said, “I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.”

Join us at Community Church this Sunday to dive deeper into "Evolving Faith" and discover how we can live out this radical call in our daily lives, especially amidst the current events shaping our city. In navigating the bustling streets and vibrant spirit of Hong Kong, we encourage take a moment this weekend to reflect on a powerful message from Matthew 5:38-39a: "You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' But I tell you, do not resist an evil person.” As the world shows that retaliation appears to be the norm, Jesus calls us to an evolving faith—one that responds to challenges not with vengeance, but with love and non-resistance.

================This Week's Scripture:// Key Passages //1 Corinthians 12:12-14 (NIV): Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.
1 Corinthians 12:26-27 (NIV): If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
1 John 3:1 (NIV): See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
2 Corinthians 6:18 (NIV): And, “I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”
