    Pulse of the City: The Trap of Loneliness

    In a city surrounded by people, it is still possible to feel alone. Full schedules, fleeting conversations, changing seasons, and personal burdens can leave us feeling unseen or disconnected. This Sunday, we continue the Pulse of the City series with “The Trap of Loneliness.” Drawing on Proverbs 27:17—“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another”—we consider God’s design for meaningful Christian community. Jesus meets us in the places where we feel isolated, and invites us into a church family where we can be known, encouraged, challenged, and supported as we grow in faith together.

The Twelve were with him, and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out... // Luke 24:9-11 (NIV) // When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense.

    Pulse of the City: Feeling the Heartbeat

    Hong Kong is full of movement: busy streets, competing demands, powerful messages, and rhythms that can shape us before we notice. In this first message of our new series, Pulse of the City, we explore “Feeling the Heartbeat.” Drawing from Ephesians 5:6–7, we consider Jesus’ invitation to discernment and faithful living amid the pressures and possibilities of life in Hong Kong. What voices form our desires and choices? How can we recognise what is true, resist what draws us away from God, and learn to live with wisdom, courage, and hope? Join us as we seek God’s presence and guidance in the midst of our city. If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME! We would love to get to know you.

While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

    Persevering in the Fire

    Some of the most defining moments in God’s story unfold in the background: in disrupted plans, hard decisions, and the quiet resolve to trust God’s word. Today’s message, “Your Finest Hour,” looks at one such moment—when a faithful man chose obedience and courage in the face of confusion and social risk, and God used that decision to bring His saving purposes into the world. Grounded in Ecclesiastes 3:1, “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens,” we’ll explore how God’s timing intersects with our lives when things don’t go according to our expectations, and how He can turn seasons of uncertainty into moments of deep significance and grace.

If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us[c] from Your Majesty’s hand. But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.” Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual and commanded some of the strongest soldiers in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and throw them into the blazing furnace. So these men, wearing their robes, trousers, turbans and other clothes, were bound and thrown into the blazing furnace. The king’s command was so urgent and the furnace so hot that the flames of the fire killed the soldiers who took up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and these three men, firmly tied, fell into the blazing furnace. Then King Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet in amazement and asked his advisers, “Weren’t there three men that we tied up and threw into the fire?” They replied, “Certainly, Your Majesty.” He said, “Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods.”

Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”). When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.

    Be Still

    In a city that rarely pauses, we often carry the weight of our schedules, anxieties, and expectations without a break. This week’s message from guest speaker Zelda Cheung titled, “Be Still,” invites us to discover what it means to stop striving and remember who God is in the middle of our everyday lives. Drawing from Psalm 46:10, we will look at how God’s unshakable presence speaks into our chaos, our decisions, and our deepest fears. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, searching for peace, or simply curious about faith, we invite you to worship with us and explore how God calls us to be still and know Him.

Of the Sons of Korah. According to alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength,     an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way     and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam     and the mountains quake with their surging. There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,     the holy place where the Most High dwells. God is within her, she will not fall;     God will help her at break of day. Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;     he lifts his voice, the earth melts. The LORD Almighty is with us;     the God of Jacob is our fortress. Come and see what the LORD has done,     the desolations he has brought on the earth. He makes wars cease     to the ends of the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;     he burns the shields with fire. He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;     I will be exalted among the nations,     I will be exalted in the earth.” The LORD Almighty is with us;     the God of Jacob is our fortress.
