John the Apostle was a wonder writer/disciple who wrote five books in the Bible including the Gospel According To John. Rev. Dr. Tyson Chang delivers this wonderful and insightful sermon in his native Mandarin.

Apostle Paul told Corinthians that "But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you." Pastor Tyson Chang elaborated the idea of "treasure in the jar of clay".

Disciple Peter obeyed Jesus' instructions to cast his fishnet on the other side of the boat and got 153 fish from Lake Galilee. Augustine argued that the number 153 has great significances. In his native Chinese, Rev. Dr. Tyson Chang unravels the mystery of the number 153 in this excellent sermon.

Psalm 81 mentions God’s Goodness and Israel’s Waywardness, and emphasizes on the fact that God would feed His people with honey from the rock. "But I would feed you with the finest of the wheat, And with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.” (Psalm 81:16) In his native Chinese, Rev. Dr. Tyson Chang preached on the significances of the honey from the rock.

The first of the eight beatitudes instructed by Jesus and recorded by Matthew focuses on those poor in spirit. Their blessing is that they can have Heaven in their hearts and live in Heaven after life. Rev. Dr. Tyson Chang elaborated it in his native Chinese.

The root of human evil as we experience in today's world can be summed up as the "Culture of Cain", the combination of the mindset, behavior and tradition of the first murderer in the Bible. Cain and his offspring has been creating the chaos and disasters in human history. However, God has promised that He will eliminate this culture ultimately.

God's Justice and Love are the two major principles of Christianity, but people tend to stress love more than justice. Rev. Dr. Tyson Chang, in his native Chinese, preached that God's justice should not be neglected.

God will save His people from all kinds of disasters, such as the Covid-19 pandemic. King David confirmed this fact in Psalms 91. Rev. Dr. Tyson Chang, in his native Chinese, preached on this topic to encourage the audience to keep faith in God during the chaotic period of pandemic.

Some Christians doubt that December 25 is the real birthday of Jesus Christ, but there exists no sufficient and credible evidence to prove otherwise. Rev. Dr. Tyson Chang, in his native Chinese, preaches that the four "theories" supporting Jesus' birthday is not December 25 are all either weak or wrong. Therefore, he urges, people should celebrate Jesus' birthday on December 25, traditionally dubbed as Christmas. Don't let Santa Claus or Frosty the Snowman steal the spotlight. Jesus is the hero of the day!

Jacob, the second son of Isaac and Rebekah, became the father of the twelve tribes of Israel. Despite the honor and status, he actually led a bitter life. He admitted this while talking with Pharaoh. Rev. Dr. Tyson Chang preached that Jacob's bitter life had three forms: hardships, agonies and loneliness. He failed because of trying to grasp worldly things, but he was successful after he grasped God. Pastor Chang, in his native Chinese, encouraged Christians and non-Christians alike to grasp God rather than the world and believe in God's promises.

Luke described how Jesus persuaded a woman by a well in Samaria that He was the Messiah and she testified for Him and invited her villagers to hear Jesus preach. Rev. Dr. Tyson Chang saw both Jesus and the unnamed woman as bridges, one leading us to eternity while the other, leading neighbors to Jesus. In his native Chinese, Pastor Tyson delivers an unforgettable sermon by challenging all Christians to be a third "bridge".

Life is full of happiness, bitterness, joys, pains...etc. When we are in agony, suffering from life's setbacks in health, career, relationships...the only solution is Jesus Christ. Rev. Dr. Tyson Chang, in his native Mandarin Chinese, shares his experience in dealing with life's most challenging lessons when he suffered migraine and almost killed himself to stop the pains.

Thanksgiving Day is a day reminding us to give thanks to God, and to those who help you, support you, and oppose you. The hero of this special day is not the Indians, nor turkeys, but Jesus Christ, whose teaching improved human moral and quality. Rev. Dr. Tyson Chang, in his native Mandarin Chinese, elaborated in his sermon.

In the Bible, Satan has at least 33 names, such as the evil one, devil, liar deceiver, ruler of this world, angel of light...etc. But let no one be deceived: his purpose of existence is to separate human beings from God. His final demise, however, is announced in the Book of Revelation. Rev. Dr. Tyson Chang, in his native Chinese, delivers this sermon.

Christians should not be satisfied that they have strong convictions, and they should also pursue evangelical results. "Believe in Jesus and spread his words and deeds," Rev. Dr. Tyson Chang emphasized in this sermon delivered in his native Mandarin Chinese. 基督徒光是信教還不夠，必須負起宣教的任務。宣教可以從家人做起，進而鄰居、同事、陌生人...，更可以提升到外派至其他地區長宣或短宣。章台生博士/牧師以其牧會經驗說明宣教的重要性以及關鍵點。 引用經文： 但聖靈降臨在你們身上，你們就必得著能力；並要在耶路撒冷，猶太全地，和撒瑪利亞，直到地極，作我的見證。』(徒1:8) 1, 定位： 族內：在本族佈道 外邦族人：一種文化障礙 外邦：二種或更多文化障礙 2, 成立團隊、擬定方案、編列預算、慎選人選 執行範例：撒瑪利亞婦人、約拿 1, 家門口：家人、鄰居、新移民… 2, 短宣：一個月至兩年 3, 長宣：至少兩年 評估：交談對象、決志者、宣教對象的生命改變、自我衝擊與變化…

李牧師說：基督徒是聖徒、在基督裡的人、有信心的人、我們是領受神的恩惠與平安的人。 Pastor Lee said that Christians are "saints, people of faith, in Christ and recipients of grace and peace".

More Americans are displeasing God by going crazy for Halloween. This pagan festival of 2021 is attracting two thirds of Americans to participate and pumping consumer spending to about $10 billion with individual spending of $102.74. All three figures set new records. This means the U.S. is further sliding down to the Lake of Fire. Rev. Dr. Tyson Chang, in his native Mandarin Chinese, preached this seldom heard sermon, urging Christians to avoid this anti-God event marking death and ghosts, freaks ad horrors. In addition, Pastor Chang called upon Christians to take up the full armor of God's (Ephesians, Chapter 6) to defeat all evils! 更多的美國人參與【萬鬼節】(俗稱萬聖節)的活動，使神不悅。今年有三分之二的美國人參與這個異教節日的活動，消費高達一百億美元，平均每人消費$102.74。這三項數據都創新紀錄，顯示美國進一步滑向火湖。 章台生博士/牧師以中文證道，以罕見的主題呼籲基督徒避免參與這個違背神旨意、慶祝死亡、鬼魂、怪胎和恐懼的節日。不僅要避免，更要穿戴以弗所書第六章記載的神所賜的全副軍裝，擊敗邪惡勢力！

世上有兩種人：一種眼盲心不盲，一種卻是「睜眼瞎子」。章台生牧師解釋了這兩種「盲人」與聖經的教導。 There are two kinds of "blind" people in this world: the visually impaired with a sharp eye in the heart, and the "eyes-opened blind". In his native Mandarin Chinese, Dr. Rev. Tyson Chang quoted the Bible to help us understand more about these two kinds of people. 約翰福音9章記載了這兩種人：耶穌醫治了前者，一位生來失明的人得以看見，並用心靈的眼看到了真神耶穌。耶穌也譴責了另一種人：視力正常卻看不見真神耶穌以及自己的罪的法利賽人。 你有遇見過我們這個世代的「睜眼瞎子」嗎？ 今天證道的另一個重點是：耶穌說，生來失明或殘疾的人，不是因為他們犯了罪，也不是因為他們的父母犯了罪，而是因為神要顯出他的作為。章牧師舉出了在台灣六龜基督教育幼院長大的楊恩典女士，她生來無雙臂，經過當年行政院長蔣經國的鼓勵，靠著雙腳成為口足畫家，激勵許多人。 約翰福音第九章給我們的啟示包括： 1, 趁白日作工：勿「等到…」才傳福音 2, 耶穌醫治：憐憫、神蹟、救贖、見證 3, 暴露世界之暗：畏懼權勢/睜眼瞎子 4, 法利賽人：身在罪中，定別人罪 願神幫助我們既不眼盲、也不心盲，趁著白日，趕緊做主的工，傳福音！

李秀全牧師 (Rev. Morley Lee)以多年經驗，分享基督徒在社交及人際關係方面應注意事項。李牧師台灣大學外文系畢業, 1977-1994 擔任美國波士頓郊區華人聖經教會主任牧師18年, 1995-2000 教會差派到海外宣教，及加入中華海外宣道協會，擔任總幹事及工場主任，在東南亞參與跨越文化宣教事工6年. 2001-2006 擔任美國校園福音團契宣教部主任；同時創立國際關懷協會推動普世宣教事工。 2006年至2011年擔任世界華人福音事工聯絡中心總幹事。

Jesus told us "Do not judge so that you will not be judged." (Matthew 7:1) We must not disobey His words. But we can criticize with a good intention. Judgment and criticism may seem alike, but they are very different and we should be mindful in this. Rev. Dr. Tyson Chang preached this topic in his native Mandarin Chinese. 耶穌交代我們：「你們不要論斷人，免得你們被論斷。』(馬太福音7:1) 這裡的論斷，意思是評斷、審斷，也就是不要以自己的價值觀去論斷別人的言行。但是我們可以依據聖經的標準去善意批判別人的錯誤。章台生博士/牧師在證道中勉勵我們多說造就人的話。

摩西的傳人約書亞帶領以色列人一路打進迦南美地，鏖戰至少十二場戰爭，屢戰皆勝，唯獨在艾城吃了敗仗。他為何戰敗？又如何自我調整，事後屢戰皆捷？我們可以學得甚麼樣的人生功課？章台生博士/牧師在證道中分析。Joshua, Moses' heir to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land, fought at least 12 battles to conquer Canaan, winning all of them except one. He started the journey with a handsome victory at Jericho, but lost the next one at Ai. He learned his lessons and achieved the final goal ultimately. Why did he lose at Ai? How he corrected himself to win the ensuing battles? What can we learn from his lessons? In his native Mandarin Chinese, Rev. Dr. Tyson Chang delivered a sermon to help us answer these questions.

馬太福音24章3-14節記載了耶穌向門徒說的「末世十現象」，值得我們警惕。章台生博士/牧師在證道視頻中分析，現世的紛亂，不是末日已近，其實末日還很遠，但我們必須嚴加提防，至死對神忠心。The 10 phenomena Jesus told his disciples as recorded in Matthew 24:3-14 alerts us that although the "End Day" of earth is still very far away from us now, we must be on guard against Satan and his plots and remain loyal to God while on earth. In his native Mandarin Chinese, Rev. Dr. Tyson Chang preached this and other teachings in this sermon. 馬太福音24:3-14 3 耶 穌 在 橄 欖 山 上 坐 著 ， 門 徒 暗 暗 的 來 說 ： 請 告 訴 我 們 ， 甚 麼 時 候 有 這 些 事 ？ 你 降 臨 和 世 界 的 末 了 有 甚 麼 豫 兆 呢 ？ 4 耶 穌 回 答 說 ： 你 們 要 謹 慎 ， 免 得 有 人 迷 惑 你 們 。 5 因 為 將 來 有 好 些 人 冒 我 的 名 來 ， 說 ： 我 是 基 督 ， 並 且 要 迷 惑 許 多 人 。 6 你 們 也 要 聽 見 打 仗 和 打 仗 的 風 聲 ， 總 不 要 驚 慌 ； 因 為 這 些 事 是 必 須 有 的 ， 只 是 末 期 還 沒 有 到 。 7 民 要 攻 打 民 ， 國 要 攻 打 國 ； 多 處 必 有 饑 荒 、 地 震 。 8 這 都 是 災 難 （ 災 難 ： 原 文 是 生 產 之 難 ） 的 起 頭 。 9 那 時 ， 人 要 把 你 們 陷 在 患 難 裡 ， 也 要 殺 害 你 們 ； 你 們 又 要 為 我 的 名 被 萬 民 恨 惡 。 10 那 時 ， 必 有 許 多 人 跌 倒 ， 也 要 彼 此 陷 害 ， 彼 此 恨 惡 ； 11 且 有 好 些 假 先 知 起 來 ， 迷 惑 多 人 。 12 只 因 不 法 的 事 增 多 ， 許 多 人 的 愛 心 才 漸 漸 冷 淡 了 。 13 惟 有 忍 耐 到 底 的 ， 必 然 得 救 。 14 這 天 國 的 福 音 要 傳 遍 天 下 ， 對 萬 民 作 見 證 ， 然 後 末 期 才 來 到 。

被遺忘的英雄迦勒，在八十五歲時仍然鬥志高昂，分得神所應允的西伯倫山地後，奮力擊敗當地巨人族，並傳承功業給女兒和第一代士師俄陀聶，成為神僕榜樣。章牧師詳細分析講解，揭開迦勒的英雄面紗！ Caleb, a forgotten hero eclipsed by his comrade Joshua, fought fiercely against the giant tribes on the mountains of Hebron where God promised him the land he was allocated. Caleb, 85, declared that he was as strong as 40 years ago. He is indeed a good example of God's servant. Pastor Tyson Chang analyzed Caleb's heroism in his native Mandarin Chinese.

Nowadays we see many "Christians" (pastors, ministers...) attempt to remake Jesus according to their design. They proclaim the "Prosperity Gospel", assuring followers that Jesus will make you rich and happy and there is no sin to repent and no hell to fear. They even teach that Jesus was a black man born on the Tabernacle Day, and follow Jesus to enjoy the worldly pleasures. Rev. Dr. Tyson Chang, in his native Mandarin Chinese, explored this nonsense and urged people to get to know Jesus better. 有些「成功神學」人士企圖改造耶穌，以「信耶穌，得財富」以及其他誤謬理論吸引人走向地獄。他們甚至竄改耶穌的生日、膚色、福音，不提認罪悔改、不教聖經真理...。章台生博士/牧師仔細分析這項陰謀，並且呼籲世人多多認識真的耶穌。

The common belief that we are too familiar with the stories of the Garden of Eden helps us ignore the important details in which God's unrevealed mystery hides. This sermon by Rev. Dr. Tyson Chang in his native Mandarin Chinese attempts to answer some interesting questions concerning God, Satan, the snake, Adam and Eve. 章台生博士/牧師在這篇證道中探討了以下的問題： 1,伊甸園在哪裡？ 2,園中有何物？ 3,神創造的伊甸園裡怎麼會有蛇？神為何不築牆防止蛇和撒但入園？ 4,神造萬物皆美好，各適其用，蛇為何不美好？蛇天生就邪惡嗎？蛇所適何用？ 5,蛇和撒但做了何事？有何後果？ 他也提出了這五點觀察： 1,明白：縱容並跟隨犯罪者，刑罰可能更重。 2,熟悉撒旦伎倆：說謊、挑撥、引誘、試探… 3,犯錯後，不要躲避神，而要親近神。 4,神造你我，非為慵懶享受，而是為辛勤工作。 5,取悅於人，代價甚大；取悅於神，身心安康。 章牧師強調： 以神賜軍裝抵擋撒但 用真理作帶子束腰，用公義當作護心鏡遮胸，又用和平的福音當作預備走路的鞋穿在腳上。此外，要拿信德當作盾牌，用來撲滅那惡者一切燒著的箭；要戴上救恩的頭盔，拿著聖靈的寶劍，就是上帝的道；要靠著聖靈，隨時多方禱告祈求。 (以弗所書6:14-18)
