TV out of the bedroom catchphrase from DMB
digital multimedia broadcasting
TV has always occupied the main room of the home.
Otherwise, it was common for the whole family to sit around and watch it on the floor.
The TV was a huge machine that showed images.
A machine that shows a large video came into my hand.
The person who took the TV out of the bedroom and used it as a material for a work of art died.
Nam June Paik
His video art is an example of a TV showing the result used as an art material.
Art that showed the subversion of common sense in which tools were used
TVs that only need one at home are gathered together to provide completely different images and
art of shaping
In the 21st century, the TV has come into the hands of Korean soil.
I was more interested in the fact that it was free, but... … .
There are two reactions to the unexpected phenomenon.
misjudgment of the phenomenon
A reaction to blindly copy the phenomenon 19:13 Following Paul, cast out demons in the name of Jesus
Jews trying to be expelled
Don't just follow the phenomenon.
Don't judge just by looking at the situation.
-Phenomena is sometimes difficult to judge.
-Phenomena is often prone to human judgment.
-You should be able to find and see the meaning of the phenomenon, but that is not easy.
- So it's easy to tell the wrong story.
“At 9 a.m., the group was drunk on new sake.”
pious jews
But who are they?
They were not ordinary people, but people with deep faith in their own way.
-They were pious Jews. verse 5
-They come from all over the world to keep this feast.
- What is a pious Jew?
It means those who feared God.
Those who served God in a foreign land
those who have a strong faith
However, they see only the phenomenon and try to understand it, but do not see the essence.
They can understand and hear language, but do not see the essence of the phenomenon.
A pious Jew who asks questions because he can't see the essence... .
Why not?
those who do not know the Holy Spirit
Why Jerusalem was in commotion
Where God Worshiped (Jerusalem), Gathered God-Fearing People (Pious Jews)
We gathered together to hear the wonderful works of God.
No surprise. It's so natural. But I'm surprised Why?
Because history is happening in an incomprehensible way... …
listening in their own language.
Those who say so are the Galileans.
Because it is happening through those who have received the Spirit of God.
They know the language and fear God, but they do not know the Holy Spirit. They do not know that the age of the Holy Spirit will open. They do not know the work of the Holy Spirit.
Don't just look at the status quo and pretend to be in church
Don't just look at the phenomenon and do this and that - the sound of drunkenness from the morning
Be sensitive to the Spirit, the essence.
Peter who can speak the essence
I will make this known to you... .
It was Peter who could speak of the essence.
He was the one who had the answer, not the question.
He was a person who could tell the meaning of phenomena.
Witnesses should be able to speak A witness is someone who can give an account of the incident.
What basis can he say or explain?
He is an experienced person.
Not an observer, but an experiencer. Not the hearer, but the experienced.
This is important. Faith is an experience. It is an experience. Without experiential faith
I end up asking questions every day.
It is a believer who can tell the essence. What are the characteristics of a Christian?
One who can proclaim the truth through experience.
Peter blends text and experience (context)
The characteristic of Peter who explains his experience is the figure he explains through the Bible.
He explains that this phenomenon is the fulfillment of the prophecies of the Old Testament.
He describes this event through the connection of text and context.
The vividness of the context and the sincerity of the text are harmonized and revealed.
What God-fearing Jews need is this experience.
But the experience is so great and huge that it needs an explanation.
Peter explains, interprets, and applies phenomena.
+++ I am confused because I am not able to interpret the phenomenon of the religious life even though I see it all the time.
God always lets us experience. In the Lord, those who fear the Lord experience. The problem is that it cannot be interpreted. it is a wrong interpretation. Why?
In order for phenomena and interpretation to be in harmony, experience and the Word must be in harmony.
Peter made it possible. This is the reason why we study the Bible. To develop the ability to interpret phenomena,
You can't just emphasize
phenomena alone should not be emphasized. Both should be... .
Of course, there are a lot of people who can't do both.
Then work hard on either one of them.
Did you come to the prayer meeting?
Do you have a Sunday Bible study?
--- Young people see visions
Costa's fantasy
Fantasy of Oxford Korean Church
Young people dreaming
The work of the Holy Spirit
The way the Holy Spirit works is our common sense (young people have no choice but to come to our church less).
break the Comes with rice... . Is this possible?
The Holy Spirit works. How is it possible that hundreds of young people from continental Europe gather every year to listen to the Word, dedicate themselves, and obey the call of missions?
That's what the Holy Spirit does.
A foreigner listening with a receiver
The young people interpreting it… All events are the work of the Holy Spirit.
It is not the Oxford Korean Church where only mothers gather.
Korean church where young people gather
Young people eating and washing dishes
Church with Bible study after worship
This is the phenomenon the Holy Spirit shows in our church.
This is how the Holy Spirit works.
This should be interpreted.
you should look at this We need to hear what these young people are dreaming of.
Young people should dream here.
Young people should look forward to God's work here in Oxford.
Don't come here and do anything else.
looking at God's work
We must see through the essence of what He raises and become us who live in the age of the Holy Spirit.
