The Saints' Faith

God is the one who speaks. The words spoken through the mouth of God can not be separated from the Word that appeared in the image of God. In order for the words of God to enter into the saint’s soul, it must be heard through the physical ears. And in order for the saints to receive the words of God, they must discipline themselves to maintain the godliness in their fleshly lives. Just as a physical exercise is necessary for the benefit of the flesh, godly disciplinary is required to enter the kingdom of God.  Just as a physical exercise is necessary for the benefit of the flesh, godly disciplinary is required to enter the kingdom of God. The Early Church saints, who lived prior to the book of the New Testament, did not have the written reference in regards to Jesus Christ. But they had been actively experiencing the power of the words. That is because they earnestly listened to the words. They listened to the words of the apostles who had experienced the miracles of God and perf

The first semester of the 『 Berea Academy 』 lectured by Semuon, the pastor Ki-Dong Kim can be divided into three big categories. The first three lessons belong to the first category, and they mainly deal with the subject of ‘Bible'. The fouth through the sixth lesson falls into the second category, which deals with ‘the Law and the Gospel.’ The third category is the remainder, which deals with ‘ Three Spiritual Beings manifested in the Bible. ’ However, there is a conspicuous branch. Lesson 7. Depending on the sources, its given title varies. Some sources say that the title is: History of the Bible from Abraham to Jesus, and other sources have different titles. Thus, this particular lesson has been left a bit confusing in relation to its content and the title, which seems to be far removed from any previous or subsequent flow. However, in the seventh lesson, he clearly wrote the title on the chalkboard: Three Spiritual Beings manifested in the Bible . In general, people th

The year 2016 was a historic year for the Banseok Berea Church. Seven years after being established, they now have their own sanctuary for the first time. This is the letter from the church.  Dear Overseer Sung-Hyun Kim and Senior Overseer Ki-Dong Kim, We hope the best and health for you and your family. Since we are a small church with a little less than a hundred members, we did not consider having our own sanctuary. However, a building was constructed on a vacant lot blocking the only path to the building we were using for our services and it was no longer available.  We had to move out and find a new place for the church and we had to do it fast. The church members all prayed in unity, and within one month we received the answer to our prayer. One of our members, a sister, moved by the Holy Spirit, withrew all her savings and offered it as a building offering. Many Saints followed after her example. One of them, a school teacher who had attended our church for just

Letter from Russia

Hallelujah! Good morning! Our 'Grace Church' is located in a village called Hingansk in the Jewish Autonomous Region of Russia.  Obluchie is the closest city, which is 20km from our town. I read the book "What are Deceiving Spirits" myself and distributed 20 copies you sent to members of our church. The responses of the people who read the book were different. There were some who criticized, but most church members began to show changes in their attitude toward the Word and toward God. Nicholas (age 25) did not attend church very faithfully. I gave him a copy of the book and prayed with him. He went to another territory for a month, where he began to read books. Through this book he accepted God's revelation on the importance of giving tithes and offerings, and decided that he and his wife would begin tithing and that he would not miss Sunday service. Thanks be to God. They often testify that the Lord has blessed their home, not just to the members

On February 4th, there was a 45th Berea Academy graduation service. In Korea, 454 from basic courses, 92 advanced courses, and 21 intensive courses were graduated, and a total of 281 have graduated from the overseas center of Berea Academy including China. General Introduction of Berea Academy  The reason Sungrak Church emphasizes the annihilation of the devil and devotion to God is because we understand the will of God deeply. The Bible reveals the will of God. However, though people read the Bible today, they fail to understand the will of God because they do not know how to read the word of God. In order to see a distant object, you need binoculars; to see microscopic objects, you need a microscope. Likewise, you need the proper lenses to view the Bible. Berea Academy established by Pastor Ki-Dong Kim in 1976 is a Bible teaching institute that prescribes the precise lenses to view the Bible and the will of God. The faith of the Bereans in Acts 17:11-12 is the model
