For a taste of our experience at Union Church Hong Kong last Sunday, read the lyrics of a beautiful song we sang last weekend, “Great Source of all our life” by Joy F. Patterson.
Great Source of all our life,
we come with thanks and praise,
for countless gifts of love with which you bless our days.
Chorus:
With joyful hearts
we come to you, renewing now
our gifts of love.
For time to work and play,
for talents we can share,
for wealth enough to live, and give for others’ care,
For those who went before,
strong followers of your way,
who worked and gave to build the church we know today,
Dear God who first loved us
and drew our hearts toward you,
confirm our faith, increase our love our whole life through.
And if you want hear the sermon I preached at Union Church Hong Kong on 24 April 2016, click this link entitled, “Guarding our Lives against Greed: Five Insights for Faithful Stewards” from Luke 12:13-21.
Being rich toward God is only possible when we realize that the God who loves us is the great Source of all our life, and the One who provides “enough to live, and give for others’ care.”
