On Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem not as a warrior, but as a gentle King—riding on a donkey, fulfilling prophecy, and confronting the world with His claim to the throne. In this message from Matthew 21:1–11, Pastor John Lee challenges us to consider what kind of King Jesus truly is and how we will respond. Will we crown Him or crucify Him? This moment in Scripture forces a decision—and invites us into full surrender to the King who came not to conquer Rome, but to conquer sin and death.Mission Church www.missionlasvegas.com

In this week's message from Matthew 14:13–21, Pastor John Lee walks us through the miraculous feeding of the five thousand, reminding us that Jesus doesn't wait for us to be strong or ready—He simply invites us to bring what we have. Whether we feel overwhelmed, reluctant, or indifferent, the compassion of Christ meets us where we are and calls us into the mission of reaching others. Jesus is still multiplying what's surrendered to Him. What might He do with your five loaves and two fish?Mission Church www.missionlasvegas.com

In this week's sermon, Pastor John Lee continues our journey through the Gospel of Matthew, focusing on Matthew 12:9–21. In this powerful passage, we see Jesus confront rigid legalism, extend compassion, and reveal the heart of His kingdom—a kingdom marked by mercy, justice, and restoration. Join us as we explore how Jesus heals a man with a withered hand on the Sabbath, challenging the Pharisees' hardened hearts and reminding us that God values mercy over sacrifice. Discover how Jesus, the Servant King, brings hope to the weary and healing to the broken, offering rest for our souls and justice for the world. Wherever you find yourself today, this message invites you to trust in Jesus—the one who doesn't avoid our mess but steps into it, the one who doesn't crush the weak but restores them.

Think of Christianity in Southeast Asia today and what might come to mind is the predominantly Catholic Philippines, or the work of the Baptist church among linguistic and cultural minorities in Myanmar, or any one of the thousands of Christian communities scattered throughout Indonesia. Tam T. T. Ngo‘s new book is about none of these relatively familiar groups and places, but instead about the quite recent emergence and rather rapid growth of evangelical Christianity among the Hmong in the upland areas of Vietnam, on the border of China. Her The New Way: Protestantism and the Hmong in Vietnam (University of Washington Press, 2016) is the first ethnography of Christian conversion in the borderlands of one of the only two formally communist states remaining in Southeast Asia today. Not only is the book remarkable for its collection and use of hard-to-get data from a wide array of sources in Vietnam and abroad, including extended periods of fieldwork in a Hmong village, but also for the story it recounts of conversion not by mission on the ground but via broadcast from the air. Tam Ngo joins New Books in Southeast Asian Studies to talk about Hmong converts and de-converts, family and neighborhood religious conflicts and their consequences, Pastor John Lee and the Far Eastern Broadcasting Company, the remittance of faith, ethnic relations and religious regulation in Vietnam, officials attempts through violence and persuasion to stop or reverse conversions, and the power of ethnography.
