Good morning, everyone. Let me start today with a little quiz. First question. Have a look at the screen. “There’s an award for the best airline meals called the Mercury Award. It has the same kind of prestige as the Oscars does for movies. So, out of all the economy-class meals in flight, which one do you think won the top prize in 1998, 2006, and even recently?” Here are your options: 1. Chilli Pork , 2. Pasta, 3. Chicken Curry, 4.Bibimbap. And the answer is… Number 4, Bibi

15 March 2026, John 9: 1 – 25 “Siloam-ing”
Good morning, church family. I hope you’ve all had a peaceful week in God. To be honest, I’ve had a heavy heart this past week, and it’s actually because of last Sunday’s sermon. While I was sharing the story about Dana and her family’s singing and the gift of music, I realized, quite painfully, how a single, careless word of mine could truly hurt someone. I see now that I was acting out of line. Someone said to me last Thursday, “Do Young is still alive!” So, thanks to God’s

Last Sunday evening, our family had a very special time together. Every year around this time, we connect with our family in Korea through FaceTime and hold a memorial service. It is a time to honor and remember my father-in-law and my sister-in-law’s husband, who have already gone to be with the Lord. This may feel unfamiliar to some of you, but it is actually one of the beautiful traditions in Korean culture. We prepared the favorite foods of our loved ones with great care,

Imagine a couple walking into a world-famous steakhouse to celebrate their anniversary. The host greets them warmly, confirms their reservation, and seats them in an elegant dining room. When the waiter comes by to take their order, they hesitate for a second. It is their first time at a restaurant like this. Eventually, the husband speaks up. "We’ll have the Ribeye and the T-bone, please." "Excellent choice, sir. And how would you like those cooked?" the waiter asks. The man

My very first placement in an English-speaking ministry was at Payneham Road Uniting Church. Although I had some experience as a student minister and a hospital chaplain, this was the first time I was responsible for leading a whole ministry in English. I still remember those early days so clearly. A few kind members went out of their way to help me 'polish' my English. One person offered to meet for coffee every week just so we could practice talking. Another lovely member e

My family had a bit of a drama recently. Our fridge,…. which had been doing a great job, suddenly gave up the ghost. So Dana and I rushed down to The Good Guys in Hectorville. Walking in, there were all these shiny, fancy fridges lined up. While we were choosing one, I noticed something interesting. Dana and I were checking out the fridges, but we were seeing completely different things. Where do you think I looked first? Of course, the price tag. My eyes were fixed on the "

Today, I want to start with a very personal—and maybe a bit of a risky—question. Look, don't feel pressured to answer out loud, but... when was the last time you wet the bed? When you were little. Don’t worry, you don't have to raise your hands! I’ll go first and share my story instead. It was a freezing winter morning, back when I was seven. I woke up to that damp, sinking feeling in the sheets... I reckon a few of you know exactly what I’m talking about. And the thing was,
