Semuon and Sungrak Church are the Stump_Issue 4

By -
Semuon has lived an exemplary life of what mediators of the Gospel should be like once they come to know the Picture of God’s Will. Though you have a beautiful car, if you don’t know how to handle it properly, it could turn into a harmful weapon on the street. In like manner, the more prestigious knowledge and spiritual power one has culminated, a greater character he ought to sculpture to contain them; without the qualities of virtue, tolerance, wisdom, understanding, sacrifice, and devotion, his intelligence would serve but harm to others. There was an irrefutable reason when God chose Semuon to reveal the Picture of God’s Will to the humanity of this age.

Semuon is the founding pastor of Sungrak Church. He was confident that Sungrak Church would be the mother of all the churches that long to return to God’s word. Sungrak Church was planted as a church that takes after the Bible. By God’s blessing, Sungrak Church has been full of the truth and power, has grown so rapidly that even the world has noticed, and has brought forth so many spiritual leaders.

In addition to knowing the Picture of God's Will, we must understand what the life and ministry of the Gospel mediator Semuon was like in the past decades, how  Sungrak Church which he has established and nurtured has grown, and how it actually has carried out the mission of Gospel mediation. These understandings are vital to ensure the identity of the Berea movement.  

“Think of those who have come to you with the word of God and have led you, pay attention to the end of their deeds and imitate their faith” (Hebrews 13: 7).  

By all means, the enemies will hinder Bereans of the world from taking after Semuon and Sungrak Church. However, Semuon and Sungrak Church are the stump of the Berea Movement.

2017 Sungrak Summer Camp: “Jesus Christ’s Healing and Holy Signs” The 25 th of July marked the start of the annual Summer Camp. The theme this year was Jesus Christ’s Healing and Holy Signs . Despite this year’s Summer Camp being particularly caught up amongst difficult times in the church, the wearied Sungrak people had still been waiting with expectancy several weeks before the camp.  The first phase of the Summer Camp (July 25 – 28) took place at the MongSanPo Camp center. Despite the divided state of the church, this year’s Summer Camp turned out to have a large attendance of Sungrak people compared to previous years.  Everyone prayed earnestly that their souls, their families, and their church would be restored. Moreover, focusing on the praise ministry of the Ye-Il congregation and the spiritual preaching of overseer Ki-dong Kim, grace was abundantly evident during this 4-day period.  During the first phase of the Summer Camp, the ev...

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 mo...

Berea commissioners are the source of blessing Jesus bore our curse on the cross that we might receive the blessing Abraham had received from God. “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith” (Galatians 3:13~14). The blessing we have received is the blessing God had promised to Abraham. God not only blessed him but also made him the source of blessing so that through him all might be blessed. “I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed" (Genesis 12:2~3). Christians are the people who are not content at being blessed themselves only; they ...
