SBECC Kairo Ministry Evaluation

Hello Kairo!

Please take some time to voice your opinions about Kairo as a ministry. With your honest and transparent  feedback, the leadership of Kairo can have a better awareness of how we're doing as a ministry. With that understanding, we will seek God's leading for how to move forward as a Church body.

You can remain anonymous if you choose. The Evaluation can be found here.

Join us for Praise and Prayer this Friday, April 8th at 7pm!

"Fix Your Eyes" - John 14:1-14 - Greg Mah

Fix Your Eyes

John 14:1-14

Questions

1. Fixing your Eyes on Jesus gives us Hope (v. 1-4)

• Jesus encourages the disciples by telling them that he’s going to come back for them and take them to be with him. In your opinion, is it too simple a solution for those going through difficulties to “fix their eyes on eternity with Jesus”? Would that honestly encourage you?
• What would it practically look like to fix our eyes on Eternity with Jesus?

2. Fixing your Eyes on Jesus gives God Glory (v. 5-11)

• In your understanding of the sermon, what is meant by the “glory” of God? In order for God to be glorified, what is God’s role, and what is the believer’s role?
• How does “fixing our eyes on Jesus” give God glory?

3. Fixing your Eyes on Jesus gives Power to Prayer (v. 12-14)

• What does it mean to pray in “Jesus’ name”?
• The sermon suggested that “prayer may be more about God getting what he wants, then about us getting what we want”. Would you agree or disagree?

MIssions Sharing - Jason Wu / Trevor McKee

Hi Church!

This past Sunday, in continuing with Missions Month, we had our very own missionaries share about their thoughts on missions and update us on their specific ministries. In Jason's sharing, he pointed us to a series of 6 videos that OMF has put out on missions titled "6 Ways to Reach God's World." Here is the link to where you can view all 6 videos: www.6ways2reach.org.

He has also said that he will give an OMF prayer book to the first 5 people to watch all 6 of them and email him with their thoughts. If you need his email, ask anyone on leadership and they'll gladly give it to you. Check it out!

Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet- John 13:1-20 - Robert Grip

1. What is love?

2. Based on your ideas about question 1, how well do you love?

3. What do you think are difficulties that prevent people from loving
other people? Which obstacles do you find to be the most
challenging to you when you try to love people?

4. What do you think applications of washing other peoples’ feet
would look like for you (or for us)?

5. Please verse 15. What do you think about the assertion that if
you haven’t received love from God, you won’t be able to love
people very well?

6. Jesus asked the disciples in verse 13 if they understood. What is
there to understand? In what way? Do we understand?

7. How might we grow in loving God and loving one another?

"Theology of Unbelief"- John 12:37-50 Rob Grip

1. Did you ever have an experience where you were very much set on doing something, and
then somebody said something to you, and you drastically changed your mind and did what
they told you to do? (Most of us have had experiences like that with our mothers when we
were small!)

2. What made you obey?

3. How about now? How do you react when a person tries to use a threat to make you do
something or not do something?

4. How is it different when God guides you, even to the point at times of being a threat. (Hint:
Think of “who,” “why,” and “how” in relation to this question.) What is different about
Jesus in particular?

5. How might “judicial hardening” as a response to people rejecting God make sense,
considering how God is different from us? How might those differences affect how you
respond, compared to questions 2 and 3?

"The Beginning of the End" - Discussion Questions from January 9, 2011

"The Beginning of the End" - John 12:20-36 - Jack Tsai

1. How do you see the second coming of Christ? Eagerly awaiting? Not even thinking about it? Hoping it
won’t come until you get married?

2. What does it mean to be a Christian?

3. What does hating your life look like in your everyday context?

4. How can you get involved in worldwide missions in your everyday life?

5. How can we make the most of today’s technology for God’s global purpose (Internet, Facebook, blogs, etc)

C'YA @ USC!

Last night was our kick off meeting for our new C'YA on Campus ministry. We had a good turnout as people came from all over: South Bay, Irvine, UCLA, West Covina, Huntington Beach, Long Beach, etc.   We had a chance to worship, discuss about our current concerns, and pray for one another. We topped off the night eating with the King...Taco.

Mark your calender for C'YA @ Jack's, coming up Oct. 30th.
Also look forward to next months meeting, where we'll C'YA @ UCLA!

Vision for C'YA on Campus:

CONGRATS Trevor and Tomoko McKee!

Laurie Au Photography

Congratulations to our Japanese Missionary and brother, Trevor Mckee! He and Tomoko tied the knot this past Saturday, September 25th.  It was a BEAUTIFUL ceremony and reception where Christ was clearly seen.

As Trevor and Tomoko are safely back in Japan now, please pray for the following:


1. "We have our wedding reception here tomorrow.  It's going to be pretty big with an involved program. Pray that the Lord can be glorified as he was at our wedding in LA!" 

2.  "Tomoko's grandma down south (her mom's mom) has only a few hours to live... please pray most of all that the Lord can make his glory known to the family members."
