In the last installment of the “Help My Unbelief” series, Chul Kim first reviews the historical and circumstantial evidence for the Christian faith, and then discusses Apostle Paul’s conversion story in Acts 9:1-25 as a model of someone who “heard” God through life’s circumstances. Often times, our “How do you know?” and “What if…?” questions can drive us into skepticism ad infinitum, but if we listen for God through the immovable evidence of our own life, God can shed a light from Heaven to illuminate what he might want to say to us today.

In Part II of the “Help My Unbelief” series, Chul discusses how we may bridge the gap between the undeniable and unexplainable things in our lives. How should we respond when something unexplainable happens? Could it be possible that we can of

This week, we started a new series called “Help My Unbelief” to talk about how we can come to have saving faith. Chul shared from John 1:43-51 and John 3:16 to draw out four lessons. The first lesson is that though we may have a lot of prejudices (some against Christianity), we should acknowledge these prejudices and be mature and humble enough to see that these prejudices may not be right. The second lesson is that we need to be seeking after the truth with a genuine desire to know the truth otherwise we will continue to remain stuck. The third lesson is that when we realize that God knows who we are that is when we get to know God personally. Finally, the fourth lesson is that Jesus came to the earth as a Savior to be bridge between God and us.

In the last message of the “More Than Meets the I” series, Celia shares her salvation testimony before going back to Macau. Then, Chul examines the most dangerous vice in our lives–the ego (i.e. arrogance or excessive self-focus). Through a character study of King Saul through 1 Samuel, we learn about the nature of humility, the destructive power of the ego, and practical ways to prevent ourselves from becoming proud.

In Part II of the “Help My Unbelief” series, Chul Kim uses John 9:1-41 as a springboard to teach us how to bridge the gap between the undeniable and the unexplainable in our lives. What fuels our desires to ask those unexplainable questions in our lives? Is it out of genuine interest or could it be that we could dismiss the undeniable things and cling onto the unexplainable things in an attempt to discount important realities in our spiritual journeys?

In Part II of the “More than Meets the I” series, Chul discusses how we are more than our feelings. Why do our feelings often dominate our lives? How can we combat our feelings and learn to overcome our “spiritual depression”? Through the text in 1 Kings 19, we learn the answers to these questions and more.

IGSM started in the fall of 2003 with the vision to help all UC Berkeley graduate students from various countries (including students from the United States) find out the true meaning and purpose of their lives through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Many of us also attend Gracepoint Berkeley, where Pastor Ed and Kelly Kang lead the ministry.
