October 26th 2025, Fourth Lord’s Day of the Month
Rev. Tadashi Nagae, Pastor
In every worship service, a message is spoken from the Bible, which is God's Word. Let us confirm about the messages.
The first is that, the message is the core and essence of worship. The church is nourished and grows through it. If the message is not blessed, the church cannot be blessed. Thus, I ask you to pray that the pulpit of Yokohama Church may be blessed.
The second is to accept the message as something personal, something “being spoken to me.” While the message is spoken to the entire congregation, it can also be said that it is spoken to each individual at the same time. It is essential to open our heart, to perceive it as “The LORD is speaking to me right now.” Do not to consider it as if it were someone else's business.
The third is to respond to the message. The LORD wants us to respond to what He has told us. Let us not just hear and leave it, but respond when He tells us.
Those who listen to the message with the right attitude can bear rich fruit.
<The Word of the Bible>
As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty.”
Matthew 13:23 (English Standard Version)
