Spring Giving Campaign
March 30 – May 31, 2025
Our Spring Giving is an opportunity for Villagers to give towards ministry needs outside of normal operational expenses in the annual church budget. This year we are focused on our key ministry goals of being intergenerational and missional.

As you pray and desire to give to these opportunities, please give above and beyond your normal giving to the Ministry Offering which pays for our staff, missionaries, building loan, and ministry expenses. Note that you can give to one or more of these opportunities. If we exceed our giving goal for any particular project, the extra money will be used for the underfunded project.

Landscape & Parking Lot Updates
With the arrival of warmer weather, the campus refresh is moving outside to improve our landscaping. We'll be replacing non-native plants with native species and trees with non-invasive root systems to prevent damage to parking lots and sidewalks. Additionally, to protect pedestrians, we'll add safety features to the ramp connecting the upper (North) and lower (East) parking lots. The new landscaping will not only enhance the campus experience, but also support sustainability and protect our infrastructure for years to come.
Remodel Almost Done
In the next week, we will complete a remodel of the Yamhill and Bridge rooms. This project will address several needs: a new hallway will provide a clearer route for people walking from South Village to the other buildings, the Yamhill room will have dedicated storage space for Chapel furniture and decorations, and the former Bridge Room will become new office space for our staff. Thank you for your patience during the recent weeks of dust and changes.

Welcome to Village!
Welcome! We are so glad you're here experiencing our missional, intercultural community. Consider stopping by the welcome counter or coming to the front of the stage during Sanctuary Greeting Time for your welcome gift and to meet some of our pastoral staff.

Our 8:15am Chapel Service is designed to be accessible to those who seek to know more about God and church as well as those who are long-time believers. The more intimate worship space and service rest on the timeless traditions of the global church as well as leaves open room for simplicity and creativity in our multicultural worship response. We sit at tables to worship in community and take communion weekly together as the body of Christ.

In our 10:30am Sanctuary Service, we engage with a diversity of cultures and languages as we worship and study the Word of our Diverse God together. You are welcome to make a joyful noise and join us in singing in a language other than your own! Our preaching team is made up of different cultural and language backgrounds, so we are blessed with Sundays when the preaching is in a different language than English, with live translation. Our non-native English-speaking church members do this weekly, so the larger church sharing this experience is important to to being a missional, multicultural community in Christ. 한국어 통역이 있습니다,  traducción en español, 翻译成中文. Nursery care for ages 0-3, Kids programming for ages Pre-K to 5th Grade, and Youth programming for 6th-12th Grade are also available.
Sermon Recap
Lead Pastor Paul Choi, Revelation 11:1-14, "Prophesy, Again"

Two days ago, a 7.7 magnitude earthquake hit Southeast Asia. There are thousands of people dead and injured and aftershocks are still expected. Families are still digging for survivors. Going back to our text in Revelation 11:13 “There was a severe earthquake and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed…and survivors were terrified…” This verse resonates deeply in the light of the recent tragedy in Southeast Asia. How do we interpret these events? How do we read Revelation? These writings use symbols and images and are not meant to be taken literally.

Asia Minor in the first century, experienced its own seismic activity during the reign of Domitian. He executed those who opposed him, imposed heavy taxes on the Jewish people and built pagan temples. Historians estimate that Christians in the time of Revelation were only 7,000-8,000. Will the church still survive in dreadful times?

Seven Trumpets and Interlude (Revelation 8-11:19)

This passage is part of a series of visions that reveal God’s plan for the world. The four trumpets, two more, the interlude and the final trumpet. 

In these visions we see the destruction of those who oppose the reign of the Lamb. In the previous passage, John’s vision showed that judgment affected a quarter of the earth and now a third of the earth, indicating that judgment is getting closer.

According to Eugene Peterson, these visions are cross-fertilizing metaphors to help with our imagination.

The Commissioning Vision (Revelation 10-11)

In chapter 11, John speaks about two witnesses who will be prophesying. These two witnesses are described as two “olive trees” and the “two lampstands.” (zechariah 4). They represent those who will proclaim God’s truth, just like Moses and Elijah They will suffer just as the slain Lamb was killed but resurrected.

Change the world vs Faithful Presence

Our call is not to change the world but to remain faithful to the Lamb. When we are obedient to God’s call, it is the Spirit of the living God which brings about changes and transformation in the world. Our task is to be faithful presence, with patient endurance, following and living out the truth of the Slain Lamb.

Before the Seventh trumpet sounds, we are called to be witnesses- not just in words but through our lives. The angel’s call to “prophesy again” challenges us to respond to the One on the Throne and the Slain Lamb. How will we answer the call in our lives?

Discussion Questions
  1. How do you understand the text we read in the light of the catastrophe that happened in Southeast Asia? Do you associate it with the judgment from God?

  2. How do you read the visions and images that John received and gave to the Church, affecting the faith of these believers? Did they listen and obey? What do you think are the problems they endured?

  3. God has given his people warnings, in the first century and in our world today. What is the state of our country, the world now? How are we different or similar from John’s audience?

  4. As Christians we feel that we have to change the world and make it a better place. What is Revelation teaching us? How do we help our church community, our DNA family to be a faithful presence?

Responsive Worship

As we collectively reflect on Sunday's message, use this space as a safe place to respond to God's calling and share your reflection on the preaching. All submissions are anonymous.
