Community Church HK Podcast

Romans 14:11 tells us of a coming day when every knee will bow and every tongue will acknowledge God—a picture of God’s ultimate authority and the final defeat of evil. In this service, we’ll explore how Jesus’ death and resurrection bring that future reality into our present lives. Whether you are carrying questions about injustice, wrestling with personal struggles, or simply curious about what Christians mean when we say that Jesus is Lord, we invite you to journey with us as we worship, listen, and respond together. Our prayer is that today you will encounter not only a story in Scripture, but the living Christ who completes the story and promises that evil will not have the final word.

================This Week's Scripture:// Revelation 20:7-15 (NIV) //The judgment of SatanWhen the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth–Gog and Magog–and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulphur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
The judgment of the deadThen I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

Christ's sacrifice wasn't just a moment in history—it's the hinge upon which our entire story turns. The Lamb who was slain didn't just bear our burdens; He completed the story we could never finish on our own. His suffering became our path to freedom and His victory our hope. Today, we have been called to follow in those steps—not because the journey is easy, but because the One who leads has already conquered death. The story isn't over. In Christ, it's just beginning.

================This Week's Scripture:// Revelation 5:1-6 (NIV) //The scroll and the LambThen I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, ‘Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?’ But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. Then one of the elders said to me, ‘Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.’
Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the centre of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.

Have you ever wondered what sits at the centre of it all? In Revelation, we’re given a glimpse of heaven—where everything revolves around the throne of God and worship overflows. This Sunday, we explore how Jesus completes the story—not just the story of the world, but our stories too. When He is at the centre, everything begins to make sense: our purpose, our identity, our hope.

================This Week's Scripture:// Revelation 4:1-11 (NIV) //The Throne in HeavenAfter this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald encircled the throne. Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads. From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God. Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal.
In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back. The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying:“‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,’ who was, and is, and is to come.”
Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say:“You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were and have their being.”

Jesus is the First and the Last—the One who was there at the beginning, and the One who holds the final word. What feels unfinished, broken, or uncertain in our lives is not beyond His reach. In Him, every chapter finds its meaning, and every ending is held in hope. This Sunday, we’re leaning into the truth that Jesus completes the story. Not with fear, but with victory. Not with despair, but with redemption. Come and be reminded: what stands against us will not outlast the One who stands for us.

================This Week's Scripture:// Revelation 1:9-20 (NIV) //John’s vision of ChristI, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. On the Lord’s Day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet, which said: ‘Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea.’
I turned round to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and among the lampstands was someone like a son of man, dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash round his chest. The hair on his head was white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, and coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.
When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: ‘Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.
‘Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now and what will take place later. The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands is this: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

Love isn’t just a feeling—it’s a story. At the cross, love is no longer abstract or distant. It becomes real, sacrificial, and deeply personal. Jesus shows us that love gives, serves, and lays itself down for others. And then He invites us into that same story: to love not just in words, but in action—towards our brothers and sisters, our neighbours, even those we find difficult. This is the command of love.This is the life we’re called into.

================This Week's Scripture:// Leviticus 25:1-7 (NIV) //The Sabbath YearThe Lord said to Moses at Mount Sinai, ‘Speak to the Israelites and say to them: “When you enter the land I am going to give you, the land itself must observe a sabbath to the Lord. For six years sow your fields, and for six years prune your vineyards and gather their crops. But in the seventh year the land is to have a year of sabbath rest, a sabbath to the Lord. Do not sow your fields or prune your vineyards. Do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the grapes of your untended vines. The land is to have a year of rest. Whatever the land yields during the sabbath year will be food for you—for yourself, your male and female servants, and the hired worker and temporary resident who live among you, as well as for your livestock and the wild animals in your land. Whatever the land produces may be eaten.

Love isn’t just a feeling—it’s a story. At the cross, love is no longer abstract or distant. It becomes real, sacrificial, and deeply personal. Jesus shows us that love gives, serves, and lays itself down for others. And then He invites us into that same story: to love not just in words, but in action—towards our brothers and sisters, our neighbours, even those we find difficult. This is the command of love.This is the life we’re called into.

================This Week's Scripture:// 1 John 4:7-8, 9-12, 19-21 (NIV) //Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
This is how God showed his love among us: he sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
We love because he first loved us. Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. And he has given us this command: anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.

Sometimes we keep count—of wrongs, of hurts, of how many chances someone deserves. Peter did the same, asking Jesus if seven times was enough. But Jesus points us somewhere deeper: not just to more forgiveness, but to a completely different way of living. A way shaped by grace that doesn’t run out. In Him, the story is completed—not with limits, but with a sacrifice that covers the whole world.

================This Week's Scripture:// 1 John 2:1-2, 9-11 (NIV) //My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father–Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness. Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble. But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them.

Jesus is the Word of Life who completes the story—not just around us, but within us. When we stay connected to Him, the true vine, our lives bear fruit that lasts. It’s in abiding with Christ that our stories find meaning, purpose, and joy.

================This Week's Scripture:// 1 John 1:1-4 (NIV) //The Incarnation of the Word of LifeThat which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We write this to make our joy complete.

There’s something deeply powerful about a single touch. In a crowded moment, one woman reaches out in quiet faith—no words, no attention, just hope. And Jesus meets her there. Not only with healing, but with something even deeper: He calls her daughter, restoring her identity, dignity, and peace. This is the heart of our God—one who notices, who welcomes, and who restores. No matter how small or hesitant your step of faith may feel, His grace is ready to meet you.

================This Week's Scripture:// Luke 8:40-48 (NIV) //Jesus raises a dead girl and heals a sick womanNow when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him. Then a man named Jairus, a synagogue leader, came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with him to come to his house because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying.
As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her. She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
‘Who touched me?’ Jesus asked.When they all denied it, Peter said, ‘Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.’
But Jesus said, ‘Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.’
Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. Then he said to her, ‘Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.’

The story doesn’t end at the cross. Indeed, John writes that every miracle, every moment, was recorded “so that you will believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and so that you will have life by believing in him.” (John 20:31) Jesus doesn’t just fix a chapter of our lives; he completes the whole story—with new life, hope, and a future we couldn’t write for ourselves. Wherever you are in your journey, resurrection life is for you, here and now.

================This Week's Scripture:// John 20:1-10 (NIV) //Jesus Comes Back to LifeEarly on Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary from Magdala went to the tomb. She saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb’s entrance. So she ran to Simon Peter and the other disciple, whom Jesus loved. She told them, “They have removed the Lord from the tomb, and we don’t know where they’ve put him.”
So Peter and the other disciple headed for the tomb. The two were running side by side, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and came to the tomb first. He bent over and looked inside the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there but didn’t go inside.
Simon Peter arrived after him and went into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there. He also saw the cloth that had been on Jesus’ head. It wasn’t lying with the strips of linen but was rolled up separately. Then the other disciple, who arrived at the tomb first, went inside. He saw and believed. They didn’t know yet what Scripture meant when it said that Jesus had to come back to life. So the disciples went back home.
