Dear LBC friends and family,

I hope you’re doing well and walking with the Lord. Last night, the single adults ministry looked at the topic of pride from Scripture. It is always convicting to reflect on this issue because pride is at the root of all our sin. Its focus is self – self-exaltation and even self-pity. It is when we refuse to live according to a God-orientation to our lives and instead set up a self-orientation that pride is at its height. Our pride says, “I am (or should be) the source, the accomplisher, and the benefactor of all that is good, right, or worthy of praise.” In other words, everything is from me, through me, and to me.

We need to strive to put our sinful pride to death. Instead of having ourselves at the center of all that we do, say, and think, we need to learn what it is to have a God-orientation to our lives. As we put off pride and arrogance, let’s put on humility and love. Consider this week how you can serve God and others.

There are many opportunities to be involved in one another’s lives and to encourage each other in the faith. Please read below for more details!

In His grace,

Pastor Patrick

Dear LBC friends and family!

As planning continues for the LBC Los Angeles church plant, we are excited to see where and how the Lord leads this ministry in San Diego through the transitions. There are about thirty people who have committed to the church plant from San Diego, which means that a number of our ministries will be in need of greater help. Church planting has always been part of the fabric of this ministry since the very beginning, and each member joined the church to be a part of this church planting ministry. Obviously, not everyone can go to be a part of the team in Los Angeles, but being committed to church planting also involves those who stay in San Diego. Not only does the membership and leaders of LBC Los Angeles need our prayers and support, but the church here in San Diego will be counting on those who stay to step up and help with the work there will be to do once the church planting team departs.

In the past several weeks, we’ve already felt the loss of some of our members and we will continue to do so, but we praise God because He is moving and working through our church family to accomplish great things. This is what we all signed up for. We have said it from the very beginning that LBC San Diego is not going to be a place for those Christians who simply want a convenient and easy part in a church. All our members, going or staying, are called upon to work hard for the faith in the strength of the Lord. Let’s not grow complacent but push on making ourselves useful for the Lord and His kingdom. In the coming weeks and months, many opportunities for service will be made available for our members. Please consider how you might serve to be a blessing to your church family and to the community around us. As part of a church planting ministry, we need to always keep in mind that the work is not limited to those who are going. Let’s not grow weary of serving our God, but find strength in Him to work excellently for the sake of His glory and the salvation of souls.

In His grace,

Pastor Patrick

Many of you have noticed by now, but we’re dealing with a couple of minor technical issues while Kyle and crew finish the update for all the LBC San Diego websites.  If you haven’t checked out the new website and/or member’s area, you should give it a whirl. They’ve done an incredible job.

Here at the Beacon we’re about 99% up and running, but you may see the occasional glitch while resolve the few remaining issues.  So if a post appears at an odd time, or the verse pop-ups look a little funny, please keep calm and carry on.  We’re working on it.

Thanks!

Dear family and friends of LBC,

I hope you are doing well and walking in the Lord. During this holiday season, I want to encourage you to do all you can to be a faithful witness of the gospel of Christ.  Opportunities abound all around us and yet too often we are content to see them pass us by. Because of our love for Christ and desire to see Him glorified, we ought to tell others about God’s saving grace. Who knows? Perhaps God would use your next conversation to save a soul. Think of the deep joy that comes from seeing a life transformed by the grace of God. Those who have no hope in this world could have true, lasting hope. Let’s do all we can to tell others of the love of Christ for the sake of His name!

In His grace,

Pastor Patrick

Dear LBC family and friends,

I hope the week is off to a great start for you. A couple weeks ago we had a pretty momentous members meeting announcing the plans to plant a church in the Los Angeles area in the next year. I was so thankful to hear the enthusiastic response of our members because it showed once again how committed this congregation is to the MVP of LBC. We have said that we would be a church planting church and have done all we can to uphold this desire in accordance with God’s Word.

Some may be wondering why a church plant in Los Angeles is necessary. Aren’t there already good churches there? We announced at the members meeting, that a church in LA would be strategic because of its proximity to The Master’s Seminary. This could be instrumental in the training up of future pastors and leaders. Also, LA provides a more central location for all the California Lighthouse churches. But even without these factors in mind, it is a bit naive to think that there are a sufficient number of churches in LA. It is one of the most populated cities in America, and as we know too well, many churches do not equal many good churches. And even the good churches are not all committed to the MVP, and specifically church planting, in the way LBC is. Again, this isn’t to say that we believe we are the only church or even the greatest church, but we believe in what we are doing and want to continue to see the work spread throughout the surrounding regions and to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8).

I know that many were surprised to hear that elder Mike Chon and his family were planning to go and help Pastor John in the church planting effort. Many changes are going to be necessary in order to move forward. We don’t commit ourselves to church planting because it is easy or convenient. We do it because we love God and people, and want to see souls saved. So, though I’m sad that Mike and Caroline and the boys are planning to move away, I’m super excited that John will have good help and support (because he’s going to need it).

LBC San Jose and East Bay are also planning on losing much even in the fact that Pastor John is leading the church plant in LA. But we are completely confident in and excited for Pastor J. R. Cuevas to take the lead in San Jose, and that the East Bay church plant is in good hands with Pastor Jim Kang. Please continue to pray for our pastors and leaders and their families, that they would always depend on the Lord in all things and find their strength and sufficiency in Him. Please also pray that God would be gracious to give us fruitful ministries where people are being taught all that Christ commanded to the glory of God (Matt. 28:20).

At the members meeting, we were also happy to announce officially that the elders of LBC San Diego have nominated Johnny Kim as an elder. We are hoping to install him into leadership at the next members meeting. Please be praying for Johnny and Mimi as they take this time to carefully consider this nomination. Please also pray for Mimi as she continues in what has been a fairly difficult pregnancy.

So, it was a good members meeting. I can’t put into words how thankful I am for this church and ministry that I am given by the grace of God. Obviously in moving forward we have a lot to pray about, so let’s be faithful in it. Let’s pray that the name of Christ would be exalted and that the gospel of grace would go forth from us to the nations.

In His grace,

Pastor Patrick

by Pastor Patrick Cho

Dear LBC family and friends!

I hope you are doing well and walking in the Lord. This past Sunday, we heard a message from James 1:21 about the importance of receiving the implanted Word. This is what will help produce spiritual growth and ensure the ongoing process of sanctification in your life. So the obvious question of application is: Are you taking in God’s Word? We hear so many messages about the practical importance of Scripture intake, and all true believers will attest to the necessity of being in God’s Word. It really comes down to being disciplined in this. It is about loving the Lord and praising Him for His revelation, receiving it with meekness, and learning to apply its principles. Like I mentioned on Sunday, we can all appreciate the simplicity of James’ message. Consider this an encouragement to be in the Word today, and to persevere in it for the rest of the week, month, and year.

In His grace,

Pastor Patrick

Dear LBC family and friends!

Many of you know that this past weekend, LBC San Jose celebrated its one year anniversary. It was a wonderful time of rejoicing in the Lord’s faithfulness to the church. Our family had the honor and privilege of being able to go up to minister to the San Jose church family and it was tremendously encouraging! It was particularly great to hear testimonies of those who even recently came to know the Lord Jesus through the work of ministry there. It was a refreshing time of fellowship over a very busy weekend. We came back tired but deeply encouraged.

As the sending church of LBCSJ, we also have great reason to celebrate together with the church family up north. We have seen great returns on the investment made to send a team to San Jose. The church is vibrant and thriving. Certainly not everything has been easy. There have been some great challenges and trials with the work, but the members of LBCSJ persevere and remain faithful to the MVP and Peacemaker Pledge. God certainly has been answering prayers and many lives are being affected through this church.

Please continue to pray for Pastor John and Angela Kim, Pastor JR and Kathy Cuevas, and the rest of the leadership of LBCSJ. Pray that the members would be passionate for the vision of the church and would be active participants in the work of ministry to the glory of God. Pray that the light of the gospel would shine brightly through that ministry and that God would use them as a bright beacon of His truth and love. There still is a lot of work to be done, but we are thankful for all that the Lord has already accomplished.

Together as one voice, we want to wish LBC San Jose a very happy anniversary!

Dying to know Him,

Pastor Patrick
