Church this week of Chuseok. You do see that there are more empty seats than normal, and we expected that. Many people are visiting family this week, so we praise the Lord for this time to be with family. And this is a special reminder for us to pray for one another. As you know, there are some challenges that come along with Chuseok with some traditional ancestor worship practices and the need for us as Christians to be faithful and remember that we worship one God. Scripturally, we know that we honor our parents, we honor our family, but we don't honor them more than we honor God. We do not worship them. We do have fewer of us here today, but we are going to add to the number of church members this morning as Billy and Joe Nam will share their testimonies and we will extend the hand of fellowship at our fellowship meal. And an occasion like this is another reminder for us to remember to pray for our church. We exist to exalt the Lord, to edify one another, and to evangelize the lost. That is our mission statement. Well, we do want to prepare our hearts for worship this morning, and there's a call to action this morning. Bugle calls are ringing out. The hymn is there in your bulletin. Hymn number 402. Yes, everyone, let's calm down and listen to the hymn. It's called, Welcome. It's a hymn written by Cha Eun-song. Chapter 402. As the sound of the trumpet resounds, We will start the 2nd round by reciting the lyrics to the piano accompaniment. you you And Titus 1 verse 5 reminds us, For this cause I left thee in Crete, this is to Titus, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city as I had appointed thee. This is Titus 1.5. 내가 너를 그대에 떨어뜨려 둔 이유는 부정한 일을 하고자고 Well, let's prepare to worship together as we turn in our hymnals to hymn number 31, and worship the King all glorious above. Expand and sing. O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? Shabbat shalom. of the people of Israel. I'm The Lord commanded Paul, uh, Paul commanded Titus to set things in order in the church. And as we read this morning, Titus 2 and much of Titus 3, we're going to see everyone has a job to do, men, women, young and old. So turning your Bibles to Titus chapter 2, we'll start in verse 1, and then we will continue reading to chapter 3. all the way to verse 11. I will start and I will read the first five verses and then Pastor Chu will do that for you in Korean. But as for you, speak those things which are fitting for sound doctrine. Older men are to be temperate, dignified, sensible, sound in faith, in love, in perseverance. Older women, likewise, are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips, nor enslaved to much lying, teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children. to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored. Only you know what is in harmony with other teachings. As an old man, you are restrained, reverent, devoted, driven by faith, love, and patience. As an old woman, and do not be like them, and do not be like them, and do not be like them, and do not be like them, and do not be like them, and do not be like them, and do not be like them, and do not be like them, and do not be like them, and do not be like them, and do not be like them, and do not be like them, and do not be like them, and do not be like them, and do not be like them, and do not be like them, and do not be like them, and do not be like them, and do not be like them, and do not be like them, and do not be like them, and do not be like them, and do not be like them, and do not be like them, and do not be like them, and do not be like them, and do not be like them, and do not be like them, and do not be like them, and do not be like them, and do not be like them, and do not be like them, Now to those of you who are young men, verses six through eight. Likewise, urge the young men to be sensible. In all things, show yourself to be an example of good deeds with purity in doctrine, dignified, sound in speech, which is beyond reproach, so that the opponent will be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us. For those of us who are workers, verses 9 and 10, urge bond slaves to be subject to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not argumentative, not covering but showing all good faith, so that they will adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in every respect. We'll finish chapter two, verses 11 through 15. For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men. instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires, and to live sensibly, righteously, and godly in this present age, looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, who gave himself for us, to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good deeds. Verse 15. These things, speak, and exhort, and reprove with all authority. Let no one disregard you. The grace of God, who gives salvation to all people, has appeared, and He has raised us up, and He has abandoned all that is unrighteous and all that is righteous in this world, and has made us live in this world with humility, righteousness, and reverence, You have made us wait for the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who is our blessed hope and our great God. If He gives Himself on behalf of us, He will arrest us from all illegal activities and make us clean, so that the people of God, who work hard for good deeds, will benefit. 모든 권 위로 책망하여 누구에게든지 없인 여김을 받지 말라. Titus chapter 3 verses 1 through 3. Remind them to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good deed, to malign no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing every consideration for all men. For we Also, once we're foolish ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. Let us be obedient, let us do all good deeds, let no one be dismayed, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, let no one quarrel, Titus chapter three verses four through eight. But when the kindness of God our savior and his love for mankind appeared, he saved us. Not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to his mercy by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, being justified by his grace, we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. This is a trustworthy statement, and concerning these things I want you to speak confidently. so that those who have believed God will be careful to engage in good deeds. These things are good and profitable for men. When our Savior God showed His mercy and love for man, did He not restore us to our good and righteous deeds? And did He not renew His faithfulness with the baptism of the saints and the Holy Spirit? Jesus Christ, our Savior, pour Your Holy Spirit upon us. Give us strength and comfort, so that we may follow the hope of eternal life. We'll finish our reading this morning with Titus 3 verses 9 through 11. But avoid foolish controversies. in genealogies of strife and disputes about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless. Reject a factious man after a first and second warning, knowing that such a man is perverted and is sinning, being self-condemned. God has given each of his children a job to do. Andrew Throffold did send a newsletter to us and we have the first pictures of Peter Wesley Throffold with of course his older sister Sophia. Let's continue to pray for them as they get their visa and their paperwork to return to India. So let us go to the Lord in prayer. Our Father in Heaven, we come into your presence this morning with thanksgiving. We began this morning by singing of our desire to worship the King, all glorious above. Lord, you are our God.

And we ask that others would see that we have been with you today as well. We pray these things in Jesus' name with thanksgiving. Well, part of praising God is remembering what a wonderful Savior we have. Hymn number 446, A Wonderful Savior is Jesus. Let's stand to sing all four verses. And the world will hear the little boys sing. Behold the storm, behold the well-born, Thou shalt see how great Thou art. The mountains and the beaches grow, And the towns and the cities grow.

O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Well, let's continue our worship this morning with our tithes and offerings. I'm going to ask Brother Nam and Brother Affley to come take the offerings. Brother Affley, if you would go ahead and pray for us. Let us pray.
