Hi brothers and sisters in Christ,
I am a full-time pastor of Evangelize China Fellowship, Holy
Word and adjunct lecturer of Biblical Graduate School of Theology and
Theological College of Asia (Chinese Department).
The purpose of creating this blog is to supplement my Sunday message. I always feel sorry for those who attends church on
Sunday but struggle with the weekly sermon.
They either feel being bombarded with too many unnecessary
background information of the scripture and little spiritual lessons to take
away or feel difficult to relate to the biblical story because of lack of
general knowledge of its background.
I believe a good sermon should be grounded well in its
historical and contextual background. If not, the message conveyed may not do justice to the biblical text or may even be
a wrong interpretation.
Given the limited time and attention span of a younger congregation, I feel extremely challenged as a pastor to preach a
good sermon when I intend to keep the sermon short. This blog, therefore, is called to exist.
This coming Sunday, I will start a series of teaching on the
book of John. I will give a brief introduction on the book.
Your Shepherd,
Pastor Paul Tong
