¡°The United Methodist Church, The Power of Unity!¡±

      

 

     I went to Columbus yesterday. Every year, there is Multicultural Luncheon Event Worship, and this year it was at Columbus, Georgia. The first year was in Savannah, the second year at Macon, the third year at Cordell, and this year at Saint Peter United Methodist Church in Columbus. I departed early in the morning because it takes about four hours from Savannah to Columbus.

 

This year, Mr. Kyung Jin Ryoo went with me on his busy schedule. Georgia is a really large state. After a long drive, we arrived at the Saint Peter United Methodist Church and the church was in a small town. There were few buildings like our church. There was a worship building and a building with a kitchen and classrooms. Last year at Cordell, many Hispanic congregations attended and this year, many African American congregations attended.

 

To be honest, the distance was so far from here to Columbus, so I didn't want to attend this year. However, as we know, there is only one Korean Church in the South Georgia Conference, so I attended. Bishop Lawson Bryan and his wife also attended. Bishop Lawson Bryan still retained the good impression of the Dedication Service in our church.

 

I feel a lot through this Multicultural Luncheon Event Worship Service. Our United Methodist Church respects diversity. And our denomination emphasizes unity in diversity. We are different from each other in skin color. We speak in different languages. But we believe in one God, serve only one Lord and are led by the Holy Spirit.

 

There will be a day when our church will hold this event. As the United Methodist members, we are praying together for the General Conference on May. In times of crisis, we must show the power of unity more and more.

 

In the last two weeks of the sermon I preached about the wisdom of God. We need to obey the guidance of the Holy Spirit through the wisdom of God. We are Methodists. I am very proud of my denomination. We experienced the grace and love of the cross. We know the joy of salvation and we live in the grace of God. In God¡¯s grace and love, we have to build our United Methodist Church.
