SERMONS ON THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW (Ⅴ) - THUS SAID THE BELIEVERS IN THE GOSPEL OF THE WATER AND THE SPIRIT Castos https://www.bjnewlife.org/en/book/bookDetail.php?bidx=19&part=1 The Apostle Matthew is telling us that the Word of Jesus was spoken to everyone in this world, for he saw Jesus as the King of kings. Now, Christians throughout the world, who have just been born again by believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit that we are spreading, are indeed yearning to feed on the bread of life. But it is difficult for them to have fellowship with us in the true gospel, for they are all far away from us. Therefore, to meet the spiritual needs of these people of Jesus Christ, the King of kings, the sermons in this book have been prepared as new bread of life for them to nourish their spiritual growth. The author proclaims that those who have received the remission of their sins by believing in the Word of Jesus Christ, the King of kings, must feed on His pure Word in order to defend their faith and sustain their spiritual lives. This book will provide the real spiritual bread of life to all of you who have become the royal people of the King by faith. Through His Church and servants, God will continue to provide you with this bread of life. May God's blessings be on all of you who have been born again of water and the Spirit, who desire to have true spiritual fellowship with us in Jesus Christ.

And, I worry over how we, the righteous, will endure when the tribulation truly arrives until the time of the rapture. However, on the other hand, a feeling of thankfulness also arises. It is because I have thought about the fact that if we were to stay alive until the rapture we would be able to taste the glory of getting raised before the Lord and having been changed without having suffered death. By saying, “Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet” (1 Corinthians 15:51), the Apostle Paul told us that if we were to stay alive until that moment, we shall all be changed in the twinkling of an eye, be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air (1 Thessalonians 4:17). Therefore, I don’t know whether to say to you that you and I have been born into good times or to say that you and I have been born into bad times. It is because a life of faith isn’t a theory but rather a reality.

It took four and a half hours because it was the last day of the big holidays and there was a serious traffic jam. Big holidays are, indeed, big holidays. Only one and a half hours distance took four and a half hours. Have you enjoyed your holidays? Did you have delicious foods?
Today we read the Scripture starting from Matthew 24:9. Here our topic is about the Great Seven Year Tribulation. “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.”

The Lord said, “Immediately after the Tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.”
The first part of Matthew 24 says that many of us who are born again will be handed over to death and others that are alive will endure untold hatred and persecution from all people until the end. These that are alive will not suffer physical death until they have received their salvation. When the Tribulation comes upon this land, there will be some people of God who will be martyred and some who will even hide in underground drainage pipes until the Day of the Lord’s appearance. Simply put, this world at this time will be in total chaos.

But it only took several hours to find out the reality. Didn’t the water pipes of the female restroom freeze up? I heard that water froze and it didn’t even come out. So, the staff members had a discussion and we promised ourselves to do better at least from this point on.

]]> 00:47:01 <![CDATA[Ch25-2. Place Your Heart in The Gospel of the Water And the Spirit (Matthew 25:1-13)]]> Mon, 07 Nov 2022 01:21:00 +0000 The New Life Mission https://permalink.castos.com/podcast/48159/episode/1312679 https://sermons-on-the-gospel-of-matthew-thus-said-thetnm.castos.com/episodes/ch25-2-place-your-heart-in-the-gospel-of-the-water-and-the-spirit-matthew-251-13 I hope you have your bibles open for today’s message, this passage of Scripture tells us a story about the Lord’s second coming, and we are all no doubt well acquitted with this story. It tells us here that when the Lord returns back to this earth, there will be ten virgins, five of whom will be foolish but the other five wise. So we see here in this parable that five foolish virgins took their lamps, but without oil, but the other five virgins made sure that their lamps were filled with oil. They slumbered and slept while waiting for the bridegroom, who took a long time in coming. But when they eventually heard the call “Behold the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!” they all arose immediately and prepared their lamps.

Do the Lord’s Work (Matthew 25:14-30)]]> Mon, 07 Nov 2022 01:19:00 +0000 The New Life Mission https://permalink.castos.com/podcast/48159/episode/1312678 https://sermons-on-the-gospel-of-matthew-thus-said-thetnm.castos.com/episodes/ch25-3-do-the-lords-work-matthew-2514-30 Today the Lord teaches us a few important lessons again through the parable of the talents. We have heard much teaching about this passage and we are familiar with it. So we see the master is leaving for a country far away, and he entrusts his possession in the hands of his loyal servants. The servant who was entrusted much reaped much and returned them to the master, and the one who was entrusted with a little less than that reaped accordingly and also returned them to the master. But the one who was entrusted with the least did not use what he was given to reap profit. Instead he buried it. When his master eventually returned, he gave back to the master exactly what he had been given him. Therefore his master rebuked him and took away even that which he had. And in the end the servant was cast away from His very presence and His Kingdom, and as the result received the curse, where there is gnashing of teeth.

We Must Spread The Gospel When We Can (Matthew 25:14-30)]]> Sun, 06 Nov 2022 13:29:00 +0000 The New Life Mission https://permalink.castos.com/podcast/48159/episode/1312441 https://sermons-on-the-gospel-of-matthew-thus-said-thetnm.castos.com/episodes/ch25-4-we-must-spread-the-gospel-when-we-can-matthew-2514-30 Brothers and sisters, it is good to see you all again. At the recent meetings we had in Praise the Lord Church in Sokcho City, I was asked in short notice to be the speaker, because Reverend Shin who was supposed to speak but had something else important to do, and was unable to attend this meeting. So I hurriedly went there to preach the Word in his place. It was there that I learned that if a new placard is posted, many people respond and attend these advertised meetings, but if the advertising is shabbily done or it is a reused one, then people do not respond so readily. I don’t know if it is because we are in an age of fashion, but people are really sensitive about these things.
