The 40th Anniversary Service was held on June 15, 2025, marking 40 years since our beloved Church of Jesus was founded. Pastor Sung Kee Kang presided over both the English and Korean ministries and in her sermon, “The Son of Man and the Truth,” reflected on her own experience hearing the word of truth and being set free from many years of illness. Fast forward to today, where souls of all nations redeemed by the blood of Yeshua are united under one roof by the Name of Yeshua. And we are so grateful to be called as members of His church, the pillar and foundation of truth. To commemorate the occasion, the choir sang a number of special pieces, and Pastor Bong Il Lee, a dear friend of our church, shared a personal message following a recent test of his own. For the church to keep, defend, and teach the truth, the pastor must have clear and unwavering uprightness before the word, specifically Christ’s command of baptism by immersion. As expressed by Pastor Kang in a past sermon, this means separating from anything and anyone not in accordance with the truth, at any risk, and at any cost (2 Corinthians 6:17). For Pastor Lee, this meant making the difficult decision to leave his denomination, and our church was moved by his testimony of God’s faithfulness to provide for those who lay themselves down for the sake of Yeshua and His gospel (Mark 8:35).  The service concluded with our church documentary and a presentation by members, which accompanied “Behold the Lamb,” and “O, the Glory.” We pray the final result was a brief glimpse into the majesty of the return of Yeshua, and the glory of living in His presence eternally. Whether long or short time ago, having been taught the same word of truth under Pastor Jo Kim and Pastor Kang’s direction - our hope is for Church of Jesus to be the home of our souls until we see the Lord face to face. Listen to the full June 15, 2025 sermon, “The Son of Man and the Truth,” on our podcast.

Anniversary Performance 

By the grace of Yeshua, our team of 12 members returned safely from Asheville, NC where they traveled from June 1-3, 2025. Located at the confluence of two major rivers in Western Appalachia, the infrastructure and residential areas of Asheville are still navigating the severe destruction caused by Hurricane Helene last year. The team assisted Crossroads Church with cleaning the grounds for a new beginning, and spent time sharing the gospel with the community. We pray for continued opportunities in expanding the kingdom of Christ with Crossroads, and for the Name of Yeshua to be glorified in the souls of this area as He provides their every need.
