#ConfidenceInChrist
“Pull shifts from confidence in the culture, confidence in the world to confidence in Christ. The exchange happens because he encountered the living Christ. The great exchange is a trade between the two conceptions of of righteousness, between a way of being religious that was measured by one's own capacity to the law. That gave self that was self generated. It was self focused. It was self measured righteousness. So Paul exchanged from the self measured righteousness the righteousness that comes from God and which is a gift to us.”

#낮은곳의구원자
“또 하나 하나님의 아들이 왕궁에 오지 않으셨습니다 낫고 천하고 냄새나는 곳에 오셨습니다 우리의 심령이 여러분 화려한 성 왕궁입니까? 아니면 악취나는 마국간입니까? 아니죠? 이곳에 오셔서 우리를 성전으로 만들어 주실 분이 바로 하나님의 아들 예수 크리스도 있습니다”
54s
#PurposeInChrist
“I pray that we will continuously have an encounter with Christ that will make our life better Because Paul was having all this confidence in the flesh, but yet his life was meaningless. He didn't still have meaning in life, but when he encountered Christ, Christ gave him a meaning to live. He was just following the law. I pray that we will not be a people who just follow what our culture says. We will not be a people who just follow the the law. We will not be a people, but we will be a people that follows Christ. Do I have some witness this Sunday morning?”
57s
#ChristIsTheStandard
“People of God, when we come to Christ, we come with all we are, and we bring all our life, our attitude, our cultures to the fullness of Christ. And Christ becomes our standard, not your culture. Christ is the standard. Not the word the word says. Christ is the standard. If Christ says love your neighbor, if Christ says don't build boundaries, Christ is the standard. If Christ says that we can love those that are different from us, Christ is the standard. If Christ says that we can welcome the children and the most vulnerable among us, Christ is the standard. Do I have some witness this Sunday morning?”
39s
#BecomingLikeChrist
“Because the more and more we hold our standards with what the world tells us, the more we lose our confidence in God. Paul is now telling us that his confidence is is gained... Is based on gaining full measure in Christ. Our confidence is becoming like Christ in what we do and what we say. Our confidence is experiencing the fullness of Christ.”
52s
#ChristOurConfidence
“We celebrate that Christ is our standard. And when Christ is our standard, our confidence, people not understand your confidence. You may be going through tough times, but your confidence will be strong. I pray that God will increase our confidence and our faith today and in this month as we lean in because our confidence is not in this world, not even in the government, not in money. Our confidence is in the finished work of Christ on the cross, and God will take care of us. Let us pray.”
39s
#TrustGodsPlan
“Maybe our confidence may not be about certainty, but could be about trust in the almighty god. Because as your pastor, I don't know an inch ahead today. I don't know a minute ahead. I don't know what happens ahead, but I know who holds tomorrow. We don't know what is ahead of us, but we know who holds our future.”
52s
#TheGreatExchange
“So Paul said the great exchange, he experienced what we call the great exchange, that he traded what will be the human achievements to divine achievements. Righteousness that found confidence in the past performance, in the accolades of the culture, in the accolades that he has to righteousness that find confidence in the work of Christ. And then Paul says that his confidence in the world is nothing. His confidence was now forward looking, looking into gaining Christ as the future.”
26s
#GodHoldsOurFuture
“Our future is in the hands of the king of kings and the lord of lords, and he's promised us he will be with us. When we go through the fire, he will be with us when we go through the water, he will be with us when we go through difficult times the hand of the lord will lead us through. Do I have some people in the house this Sunday morning?”
48s
“the Lord did not allow the unfaithfulness of the chosen ones to frustrate the fulfillment of his promise to them. The fulfillment of the promise that he has given to Abraham, to the descendants, to this great nation to own their own land. was faithful to God's promise. And even when they there were times that they were unfaithful, there were times that they were doubting, that there was a God with them, God still showed them overflowing mercy. God never never give up on them.”

Why Leonia churches are unique

Leonia’s century-old arts legacy—once nicknamed the “Athens of the Suburbs”—shows up in worship and weekly programming, where choirs, chamber groups, and visual arts are part of community life.
