December 7, 2025 - People Who Don't Need Anything Else (2) (Colossians 2:2-3)

People Who Need Nothing Else (2) (Col 2:2-3)

Rev. Myung-Sin Choi

2 That their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 

Introduction

There was a survey that was completed by Wilbur Chapman at a conference with 4,500 people. The survey asked what age they accepted Jesus Christ. They got multiple responses of 2,000 and there were 400 people that replied that they accepted Jesus Christ at the age of 10. And, 600 people said that they accepted Christ at the ages of 10-14 years. 1,000 people said that they accepted Christ at the age of 15-20. Only 24 people said that they accepted Christ after the age of 30. Then, they researched further to see how many people after the age of 25 accepted Jesus Christ. After the age of 25, there was only 1 person among the 1,000 people. From the ages of 35-45 years old, there were only 1 person out of 40,000 people who accepted Jesus Christ. Then, that means after 45, 1 in 200 people will accept Jesus Christ. After 55, 1 in 300 people will accept Jesus Christ. After 75 years old, 1 in 100,000 people will accept Jesus Christ. These were very interesting data. This means how important young remnant training and exposure is. Before the age of 20, it is important what we imprint onto our children. It is vital that remnants have imprints before the age of 10. Today’s sermon is very important. Last week we spoke about how we need to receive the 300% answer. Today’s sermon is about making a challenge. 

1. Re-Challenge

(1) Challenge

Absolutely Impossible - As we live our lives, we need to challenge ourselves towards the absolute impossible. People say that there are things that are absolutely impossible but those people are not able to see something. Joseph saw something that his brothers couldn’t see. What Potiphar's wife couldn’t see, Joseph saw. What Pharaoh couldn’t hold onto, Joseph was able to. This means that they didn’t hold onto being with God. If we hold onto the answer of with, then we can receive the answer of evangelism. What happens if we experience a crisis? We must make a challenge. Joseph was enslaved and was put in prison but during those times, he made a challenge. Through those challenges and crises, they made them into opportunities. This means that when crises come to us, we must make them into our opportunities. All of the people in the Bible, they were considered heroes of faith because they challenged during times of crises. When we see world evangelism it seems impossible but we must challenge ourselves. We must challenge the answer that God is with us. With this, we must find God’s method. Because within this, there is God’s absolute plan. 

Absolute Plan - It was impossible for the Israelites to go to the land of Canaan but for God, there was God’s absolute plan. If there is God’s absolute plan, then there is no problem. We can find what is absolutely possible with God. 

Absolutely Possible - What happens if we find the absolute possible? From here, we can enter into 300% prayer. If that is so, then we must have re-challenge in our lives. 

(2) Re-challenge

The Age of the Three-day Weekend - This is what we must challenge towards as a church. There are three things that we are praying about. We must make a life masterpiece. We must make a masterpiece of finances. There is a financial team at Harvard called the Black Diamond team. This team could research stocks. These Harvard students will put money together and invest in stocks together. Why am I telling you this? In order to do world evangelism, we must make the masterpiece of the economy of light. We must make the Red Diamond team.  

The Age of the Three Courtyards - We must challenge ourselves towards making disciples. This is our challenge. We must challenge this and have victory. The courtyards of healing, children, and multiethnic. Just having a courtyard is not enough but through these courtyards, we must proclaim life and future. Then, God will grant us disciples. 

The Age of Meditation (Acts 17:1 “Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.”, 18:4 “And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded both Jews and Greeks.”, 19:8 “And he went into the synagogue and spoke boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading concerning the things of the kingdom of God.”) - What do we meditate on? We must meditate on three things. Acts 17:1 speaks about Jesus Christ. We must meditate on Christ’s perfection. Then, we can find all the answers. From Acts 18:4, Paul spoke in the synagogues. We must meditate on the perfection of the word of God. Then, in Acts 19:8, this is speaking about what happened in the region of Ephesus. For 3 months, Paul looked for disciples but a problem arose. But Paul raised several disciples but made them into absolute disciples. For two years, Paul challenged and great works arose in the region of Asia. We must meditate on the perfection of answers. 

We must have the relay of prayer, we must always be inside of prayer. Even in the synagogues and different regions, they were constantly inside the relay of the word of God. There was a relay of disciples as well. There were disciples who gathered together and disciples were able to be raised up in Asia. Through the age of meditation, we must have the relay of word, disciples, and the word of God. Then, great works will arise in our lives as well. 

2. Regeneration

(1) The Start of Regeneration

300% Preparation of Leaders - We must prepare 300%. Then, what must we pray about? Just like our Elder prayed, we must have the prayer of 7-7-7. The moment we pray, then our brains, body, and soul will be revived. When we pray, the living God is listening to us so God will allow the great work of transcending time and space to come upon us. 

Every Day, Every Time - We can do this every day and every time. Through prayer, we gain strength. 

Everything - Through the three times a day, we must enter into 7-7-7 prayer. During the day time, we must confirm the word of God being fulfilled within our fields and occupation. At night time, we are enjoying and confirming that answer. We must gain an answer and gain the answer to everything. Joseph received the greatest answer and Joseph received the answer that God was with him. If we understand this, then God will give us an answer. So even if crises come to us, that is an opportunity to change our fundamentals. Joseph faced many crises but he was also able to receive great answers as well. This is regeneration. We must have communication with your pastor. 

(2) Communication with Pastors

Communication of Prayer - We must communicate with our pastor through the pulpit message. This is because God fulfills His word through the pulpit message and the pastor relaying the pulpit message. We must be inside of the prayer of the pastor. We must also pray for your pastor. 

2 Timothy 2:1 - We must have spiritual connection. Through this spiritual connection, we can gain spiritual strength. 

Communication of the Word - God will fulfill His plan through the word of God. We must have communication through the word of God. 

Through this, Romans 16:25 “” will be fulfilled. Before ages past, there were mysteries kept secret. These mysteries were kept secret because they were so important. This was hidden so that only the people of God could hide it. God reveals to those who are within God’s mystery and secret. There is a mystery that is revealed through the pulpit message. 

Mission Communication - 2 Timothy 3:14 “But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.” - There are things that we are sure of and learned. We must continue with the things that we have learned. Paul was told that there would be suffering. We may have difficulties and crises in our lives but through the word of God, we must have assurance. Works of recreation will come upon us. 

3. Re-Creation

(1) The Power of Re-creation - The first thing that comes to us is CVDIP through recreation. 

You will be able to see the CVDIP - We can see the covenant in advance. Through the word of God and mission home, we can have communication. Then, we can see God’s vision. Then, naturally, the dream will be visible to us. Our fields can be seen. Then, God’s image and the work of the Holy Spirit can be revealed. The eternal masterpiece will come to us and we can save the age. Then, we can receive answers. 

You will be able to see the future - We can see the answer that we must enjoy. Through worship, we can have enjoyment of the word of God for six days. If we enjoy the word of God, then there is no need for you to worry about your future. Because God will give us His word and covenant, and will fulfill His covenant through you. God’s fundamental power will come to us. 

You will be able to see your talent - God will guide us to our specialization. When we pray then God will let us edit the word of God. We can apply to the field. Through prayer, we can design our future. Then, we can design everything. Then, the works of recreation will come upon us. 

(2) Witnesses for the salvation of the world

Prepare a great vessel - In order to save the world, we must prepare our vessel. We must prepare the vessel of faith. What is absolute is that we will receive answers according to the size of our vessel. May we prepare big vessels. 

Christ's three offices - The greatest blessing of all blessings is that we have become Christian. We have become children of God, anointed with oil. This means that we have received the Holy Spirit. This means that we can have a new life. We have recreation. The blessing of David was that he was anointed as king with oil by Samuel. At that moment everything changed. We have also been anointed. We had the three offices when we were anointed. We were anointed as the priest, prophet, and king of Jesus Christ. All we have to do is enjoy our anointment. How do we do that? Wherever we go, we proclaim the word of God and all disasters are broken. Then, the power of Satan is also broken. How is that possible? Jesus Christ fulfilled everything on the cross. When we hold onto, then the path of life movement will be shown to us. 

Restore the foundation - Not only can we save people but we can solve our fundamental problems. With our talent, we must have 100%. Wherever we go, answers will come. Wherever we go, disciples are hidden. Wherever we go, if we shine the light then all darkness will be broken. When the light shines, darkness will flee. Why is that? We are children of God who were anointed with oil. May we have victory. 

Conclusion

2 Timothy 2:2 “And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.” - The greatest masterpiece that we must hold onto is that we are God’s disciples and we must bear the fruits of disciples. Through us, we have been blessed with the blessing of regeneration. When we proclaim the gospel, then the blessing and work of recreation will take place. May we receive these answers in the name of Jesus Christ.
