En 5 ans, 2 à 3 fois plus de personnes demandent le baptême. Comment répondre à cet essor inédit ? Quelles questions se posent aujourd'hui à l'Eglise pour y répondre et pour en tirer des enseignements ? Pourquoi le pape Léon XIV, lors de sa visite à Paris, va-t-il rencontrer l'assemblée chargée de réfléchir à cette question ?L'Assemblée ecclésiale provinciale d'Île-de-France, initialement qualifiée de concile provincial, est une démarche synodale lancée en 2026 par les évêques de la province ecclésiastique de Paris sur le thème : « Catéchumènes et néophytes, de nouvelles perspectives pour la vie de notre Église dans nos diocèses », autour de trois grands verbes : accueillir, accompagner et transformer les communautés chrétiennes.Après une large consultation dans les paroisses et les mouvements sur la base de fiches de discussion, une phase de délibération vient de s'ouvrir : l'assemblée se réunira à plusieurs reprises pour rédiger des propositions destinées aux évêques, en vue d'un document final transmis à Rome et d'une publication envisagée à l'automne 2027.En savoir plus sur l'assemblée ecclésiale provinciale : https://assembleeecclesialeprovinciale.fr/Tout savoir sur la visite du pape Léon XIV : pape-france.frDécouvrir la session sur "le discernement pastoral dans la dynamique d'Amoris Laetitia" aux Facultés Loyola ParisDans quelques jours, la France accueillera le pape Léon XIV.

Ecclesiastes 9:1

September 13th, 2026 Yulbang Church Sunday Worship Expository Series on Ecclesiastes Rev. Minho Kim

X2M.264 — SALLE: The Room of Restored Sovereignty Salle means “room” or “common hall.” Following Foyer within CR22's Chalet des Rois, it carries us from the threshold into shared habitation. The question is no longer only whether wisdom and capacity can be received, but whether they can enter the room without any person, gift, office, or resource claiming the whole. Psalm 27 gives the opening order: “Seek my face.” The face must come before the hand. Before action, building, administration, or power is enlarged, perception must be formed in communion with God. Psalm 51 then carries truth into the hidden place, where repentance is not self-erasure but the cleansing of false identity and the recovery of childlike trust.¹ Daniel 11 changes the measure of wisdom. The wise are not simply those who know more; they are those who remain faithful under flattery, pressure, loss, and praise. Ezekiel 28 supplies the counter-image: wisdom, beauty, trade, and hidden knowledge become dangerous when the receiver forgets the Source and turns gift into self-coronation.² The gathering itself enacted this teaching. Its path was redirected through worship, Scripture, contributions from the room, correction, and confession. No one person possessed the whole synthesis; wisdom was received together and tested in Christ. Clé's two zeros give the practical movement: release possession before the gift, then release credit after the fruit. Near the close, a participant's confession about the subtle temptation to take credit after an answered prayer brought the principle down to ordinary scale. We may truly participate in what God does without becoming its origin. The Davidic heart must remain alive inside the Solomonic mind. The receiver must survive inside the builder.³ Salle is the Room of Restored Sovereignty because sovereignty becomes true only when it restores persons, opens hands, orders gifts, and makes enlargement livable. The room is one. The persons are many. The wisdom is received. Christ remains the center. ⸻ Glorification | The Final Frontier Going boldly where the last man has gone before!

Ecclesiastes 8:1-17

X2M.262 — Clé: Entry into the Whole Clé means key. It follows Cour and completes the final coordinate of CR21. Cour forms the shared ground upon which a reconciled people can live; Clé names the receiver-threshold through which approach opens toward habitation. It does not confer possession of the whole, manufacture authority, or declare that every promise has arrived. It asks how the same person can receive greater participation, capacity, and responsibility without grasping, losing identity, confusing the gift with its Giver, or becoming the imagined source of what was received. Psalm 27 supplies the beginning. David's “one thing” is not the house, throne, inheritance, or victory, but dwelling with the Lord, beholding His beauty, and seeking Him. God is already the uncreated Source, supreme Good, ultimate Portion, and final End. Clé therefore begins by ordering every created desire beneath desire for God Himself.¹ Abraham demonstrates the movement of faith. God identifies Himself as Abraham's shield and reward, then gives the genuine promise of innumerable offspring. Genesis distinguishes God, the promised good, and the human means used to pursue it. Abraham learns to receive the promise from the Giver, release control over its fulfillment, and refuse possessive mastery even over the true gift. Faith does not extinguish desire; it returns desire to trust.² Proverbs 8:30 gives Clé its governing paradox: “The master craftsman must remain the nursing child.” Mature craftsmanship must remain joined to childlike dependence and delight. The Solomonic mind cannot outrun the Davidic heart. Wisdom, architecture, wealth, and authority remain safe only while the bearer continues receiving as a child and valuing people before the structures meant to serve them.³ Ecclesiastes supplies the interior key. Hebel reveals that created life cannot be seized against time, loss, and death. Yitrôn asks what lasting surplus can finally be possessed; ḥēleq answers with the portion God gives. The response is neither despair nor rejection of the world, but reverent enjoyment of food, work, friendship, generosity, marriage, play, and the ordinary gifts already present. Yitrôn is the question; ḥēleq is the answer; fear of God is the posture; judgment is the final horizon.⁴ Clé compresses this movement: 1 → 0ᵣ → 7 → 0꜀ ⇒ 1′ The present whole passes through relinquishment; the appointed portion is received in lawful differentiation; grasping and self-origination are cleared; and the same person emerges as a more integrated whole before God. The first zero empties the hand without erasing the person. The seven differentiates the gift without dividing God. The second zero clears possessiveness. The resulting 1′ is not divine totality, but received maturity. Clé, then, is entry into the whole through the appointed portion. Christ remains the One who holds the whole, opens the scroll, and governs the seven stars. The key does not unlock everything for the self. It unlocks the self from the need to possess everything, making faithful participation in a far greater field possible.⁵ The earlier record forms the receiver; CR17 tests the constitution; CR21 governs the approach; Ecclesiastes returns the whole to God; and Clé opens the appointed portion toward habitation. Relinquish the whole. Receive the portion. Become whole before God. ⸻ Glorification | The Final Frontier Decrease time over target: Venmo / PayPal @clastronaut Cash App $clastronaut ⸻ ¹ Ps. 27:1–6; John 15:1–11. ² Gen. 15:1–6; 16:1–16; 22:1–19; Heb. 6:13–20. ³ Prov. 8:22–31; 1 Kings 3:5–14; Matt. 18:1–4. ⁴ Eccl. 1:2–3; 2:24–26; 3:1–13; 5:18–20; 12:13–14. ⁵ Rev. 1:16; 5:1–10; 2 Pet. 1:3–4.

Session: 2 Date of First Use: September 13, 2026 Title: God Speaks Through the Bible  The Point: God's Word is His primary means of speaking to us. Life Through a Biblical Lens: The Internet is full of sites claiming to guide us and show us what to do. Pick a subject, and someone is ready to give you direction on the matter. This is nothing new. Solomon said, “There is no end to the making of many books” (Eccl. 12:12). The ultimate guidance we need comes from God, and the primary way He has revealed His will is through His Word.   Seeing the World Through a Biblical Lens: A key part of developing a biblical lens is an understanding of the nature and role of the BIBLE. This session focuses on how God has revealed His will for us through Scripture.  Session Passage: Psalm 19:7-14 Connection to the Previous Sessions: In the previous session, the emphasis was on the truth that God reaches out to us and speaks. In this session, we see that the primary way God reveals His will is through His Word. 

Ecclesiastes 7:25-29

Ecclesiastes 8:15-29

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on December 2, 2015) As we began to see in the first half of this powerful sermon, preached by Elder Buddy Abernathy back in December 2015, it is important to “remember” God our Creator while we are young. In fact, God’s children ought to focus upon God, and follow Him,...

We have a most challenging selection of chapters today; the most challenging are the words the LORD to Jeremiah.  Suddenly, the LORD's revelations to him about the future – extends far beyond the impending judgment on Jerusalem because of his people's utter godlessness.    The LORD now looks further afield beginning with the nations nearby, Egypt, the Philistines, Edom, Moab …Tyre …”[25 v.19-21], these are the Arab nations adjoining Israel today, and then, “all the; kings of the north, far and near, one after another, and all the kingdoms of the world …” [v.26]This message about “all the kingdoms of the earth” is repeated twice.  Solomon in his wisdom said, “a threefold cord is not quickly broken” [Eccl. 4 v.12]  We must not avoid meditating on the climax to which Jeremiah's message develops, “The LORD will roar from on high …. against all the inhabitants of the earth… for the LORD has an indictment against the nations, he is entering into judgement with all flesh.” [v.31]Fearsome!  God's judgment to be upon all, whether they believe in him – or not!     And those who believe in him?  Paul's words today that we read in the 14th chapter of Romans should dominate their minds – surely that includes you and I!   More that our human anxiety about what we might face as our world suffers God's judgements, is the way Paul quotes Isaiah 45 v.23, words that are totally challenging to each one of us.  Paul writes, “For we will all stand before the judgement seat of God; for it is written, ‘As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue confess to God.'  So then each of us will give an account of him(her)self to God.” [v.10-12]

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on December 2, 2015) In this sermon, preached by Elder Buddy Abernathy back in December 2015, we learn about the fact that God is our Creator. The universe and mankind did not somehow spontaneously appear; rather, God is the Creator of all things including man. And Ecclesiastes 12:1 emphasizes that...

What if the greatest blessing God offers isn't more success, more possessions, or more recognition—but a heart that is truly content? In today's Crosswalk Devotional, we reflect on Ecclesiastes 5:19 and discover that contentment is one of God's greatest gifts. While the world encourages constant comparison and striving, God invites us to rest in the unshakable joy found in Christ. True fulfillment isn't found in having what someone else has. It's found in recognizing God's goodness, embracing His provision, and enjoying the life He has entrusted to us. When we stop measuring our worth by the world's standards, we begin to experience the peace and joy that only God can provide. Highlights: Discover why Ecclesiastes 5:19 describes contentment as a gift from God. Learn how comparison steals joy and keeps us chasing what can never satisfy. Be encouraged to find your identity and worth in Christ instead of worldly success. Understand how gratitude transforms ordinary moments into reminders of God's goodness. Reflect on the difference between striving for approval and resting in God's provision. Find lasting peace by embracing the life God has given rather than longing for someone else's. Join the Conversation Where do you find yourself comparing your life to others? How can you choose contentment and gratitude in Christ instead of striving for what the world says you need?

Full Transcript Below: Finding the Ultimate Blessing By Kelly Balarie Bible Reading:“Moreover, when God gives someone wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them, to accept their lot and be happy in their toil—this is a gift of God.” – Eccl. 5:19 NIV Walking around the soccer field, I observed the soccer moms. We looked the same. Puffer jackets. White shoes. Wild. I bought these clothes hoping to look good. Maybe, they too, wanted to look good. Maybe, they too, saw images of what moms should look like flash up on social media… Apparently, I wasn’t alone. We all clicked the “buy now” button. The moms walked past me on the concrete sidewalk – did they also unconsciously ask themselves the same thing as me? Namely, am I enough? One woman’s shoes? They were newer than mine.Another woman? She had the cutest fleece jacket.Her car? Newer. Sure, I knew these women looked good on the outside, but how did they feel on the inside? I honed in on a woman’s face. Was she happy? Not really.. I knew better than anyone that superficiality breeds insecurity. Why? Because one can never match up; someone else always has something better, is prettier, is richer. What a waste of time… This endless pursuit of wastefulness is not my inheritance in Christ Jesus. God has better for me. Contentment is God’s best portion for me: The resolute knowing that what He gave me is good. The understanding that I already have more than enough in Christ. The realization that competition and striving never end. The joy found in a day well done. The hope gleaned in a relationship worked out. The powerful steadiness of peace that can’t be shaken. My abundant portion in Christ Jesus is unshakeable and unbreakable. You, my friend, as a believer in Christ, have this same portion too! Solomon, the wisest man ever, summed up contentment in one sentence. He says, “Moreover, when God gives someone wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them, to accept their lot and be happy in their toil—this is a gift of God.” (Eccl. 5:19 NIV) Contentment is a gift. To accept our lo… To be happy… To be able to enjoy… This is a gift from God that the world can never steal. Our greatest gift is not having what our neighbor has, nor is it looking the same, or one-upping someone else. It is not getting more, looking better, being wiser, or having something we have always wanted. God’s truest gift for us? It is the simple things. It is delighting in the face of a child eating a lemon. It is appreciating the car you own and the music it plays. It is relishing in the growth of your own garden. It is knowing He is with you. It is liking and appreciating little, but special things. It is joy, cultivated. No one can compete against that! Intersecting Faith & Life: Where might you be striving and working hard to prove your worth? Where do you try to present yourself as more than you are? How do you try to fit in, rather than allow yourself to stand out? Striving is hard work; resting is contentment. What would it look like for you to give up all this striving in exchange for true, joyful resting in Christ Jesus?
