“주님이 주신 생각과 마음으로 각 성도들이 움직이게 되면 교회는 자연스럽게요 우리가 노력하지 않아도요 건강해진다라는 정상적인 교회가 되는 거에요. 그리고 이것은 또 한가지 중요한 사실을 우리에게 말해주고 있는데 대신 예수님을 통해 지시를 받는 각 지체는요 각자의 역할이 있습니다 그 자리가 있다라는 것이에요. 그래야지만 정상적인 몸으로 지탱이 되는 겁니다. 손은 손으로의 역할을 해야 되고 발은 발로의 역할을 해야 함으로써요 이 정상적으로 몸이 움직이는 것 아닙니까?”

“``Anything we hollow other than God's name is unholy. Because here's the brutal truth church, whatever you hollow, listen to me, whatever you hollow you will sacrifice for, and whatever you sacrifice for will eventually demand a sacrifice from you. Oui. There are some people in this world, help me Holy Spirit, that have hallowed nationalism, that have hallowed racism, and that is going to one day demand a sacrifice of those who hallowed it. The question is never whether you're laying something on the altar church, the question is who is lying on it?”

“우리가 주차장에 있건 새가족부에 있던 제 정부에 있던 오늘 우리가 있는 그 모든 자리를 통해서 그 부활의 주님을 맞이하는 그 아름다운 하나님의 공동체가 되는 것 그걸 우리는 예배다라고 이야기하는 겁니다. 그것이 오늘 우리가 회복돼야 될 교회의 모습인 거에요. 우리가 가지고 있는 은사를 가지고 그 자리에서 맡겨진 역할을 묵묵히 감당하는 것. 그것이 바로 하나님께서 가장 기쁘시게 받으시는 살아있는 예배라고 우리는 믿기 때문이다 라는 겁니다.”

“아무것도 하지 않는 것처럼 보여도요 오늘 우리가 그 자리에 찍혀 있는 것만 보고도요 누군가는 교회에 참석할 이유를 찾는데니까요 여러분이 목장에 참석하는 것 그 이유 하나만으로요 누군가를 살리는 일이 일어날 수 있다라는 겁니다. 그냥 그 자리에 있는 것 자체가요 여러분요 되게 하나님께서 주신 그 자리에 있기만 해도요 그리스도의 몸된 교회는요 각자의 역할을 통해서 서로 연결되어서 힘을 얻게 되기 때문에 서로 의자요 서로를 지탱하는 힘을 얻을 수 있기 때문이다 라고 말하는 겁니다.”

“오늘 찬양대가 정말 아름다운 찬양을 하나님 앞에 올려드렸어요. 그것이 예배의 모습이기도 합니다. 그런데 동시에요 그를 위해서 방송부에서 자막을 넘기고 계시잖아요. 음향을 아름답게 조율해 나가고 계시지 않습니까? 그것도 예배인 거에요. 주방에서 여러분의 예배 후에 교제하실 때 드실 떡과 간식을 준비하는 것도요 그것도 예배인 겁니다. 각자 자기의 자리에서 자기의 일들을 행하는 것 그 자체가요. 하나님이 받으시는 예배인 겁니다.”

“But here's what Jesus offers us in this prayer. If you pray hallowed be your name and pray it as an actual orientation of your life that although you will be impacted by this world, the promise is that you will not become unraveled by it. Help me, Holy Ghost. When we pray hallowed be your name, you know what it does? It allows your soul to be anchored. You will be settled. You will have a peace that does not depend on the news. Come on, somebody. You will have a resolve that the algorithm cannot shake. You will have a strength that does not run out when the rent goes up.”

“And we started that, in Luke chapter, 11 last week, and we're gonna read it today in a minute. But just kinda giving you some context. So last week as we started what we know as the Lord's prayer, we kinda said in this on the screen that prayer, we're talking about breathing, prayer is the breath of the Christian life. Can can I can I remind you of some realities, Michael? You can go forty days without food, fam. You can even go two to five days without water. But I wanna give you a sobering reminder, you will barely last seconds without breath.”

“What are you saying? So when we pray, hallowed be your name, we are saying God, make the essence of who you are, your character, your attributes, you who you actually are, make that the most important thing in my life. Hallowed be who you really are, Yahweh. Family, here is the most critical question we need to ask ourselves therefore when we pray and this is gonna hurt, but it's honest. When you pray, is it about God's name or is it about your name? Is it about God's kingdom or is it about your kingdom?”

Why Renton churches are unique

Churches in Renton, WA sit at the crossroads of Lake Washington neighborhoods and the South King County corridor, and they mirror the city’s global diversity. Congregations often bring cultures together with multilingual services and translation, multiethnic intergenerational congregations, and intentional outreach to immigrant communities.
Family-friendly neighborhoods like the Highlands, Kennydale, and Fairwood shape a local focus—Renton churches emphasize nearby relationships, weekday meetups, and practical help. That community feel shows up in strong kids programs for young families and a thriving small group culture, while many anchor teaching in expository Bible teaching. Outdoor life along Lake Washington and the Cedar River also inspires service projects and stewardship themes.
With Boeing shift schedules and commuters heading to Seattle and the Eastside, many congregations adapt gathering times and formats to real work-life rhythms. It’s common to find support for shift workers, tech-savvy livestream and hybrid service options, and ministries geared to young adults and professionals.
