Pastoral Reflections

From the Pastor to You: For decades, Korean-American churches have been a sanctuary — a place where language, culture, and faith come together in harmony. These churches nurtured first-generation immigrants, helped them navigate a new land, and became a spiritual home for their children and grandchildren. Through these communities, God has raised leaders, nurtured faith, and built families that honor Him. Yet today, we face a moment that calls us to listen closely to God’s Sp

From the pastor to you: People share their thoughts and hearts through conversation. Yet those who truly care about others do not feel the need to speak in complicated ways, because their focus is not on themselves but on the one who is listening. Out of love and consideration, they choose words that are gentle, simple, and easy to understand—so the message can be received, not just spoken. On the other hand, those who are centered on themselves often speak in unnecessarily c

From the Pastor to you: A few days ago, I heard a testimony that profoundly moved my heart. It was the story of a Methodist pastor who had spent many years serving in Africa, later ministered among the Eskimo people in the remote regions of Alaska, and now shepherds a church in Korea. In some of the harshest mission fields—where resources were scarce and daily survival was uncertain—he testified that God sustained him through unceasing grace and through the faithful hands of

From the Pastor to you: Today, we gather in recognition of Veterans Day—a federal holiday observed each year on November 11 to honor all who have served in the United States Armed Forces. On this day, we pause to give thanks to the men and women who have faithfully worn the uniform of our nation. Their courage, sacrifice, and steadfast devotion to duty remind us of the high cost of freedom and the sacred value of service. Many stood in harm’s way so that others might live in

From the Pastor to you: Today, November 8 th , our RockSpring Church family gathered for our  Field Day  — a day filled with worship, laughter, good food, and joyful fellowship under God’s open sky. Although not everyone could join, the Lord brought together a wonderful number of our brothers and sisters to share life and faith as one church family. What made this gathering even more meaningful was that it was our second time coming together since Jimmy and Esther’s extended

From the Pastor to you: Theology comes from the words  Theo  (God) and  logy  (study or logic), meaning “the study of God.” Yet theology itself can never be perfect, for no human reasoning or assertion can fully comprehend the greatness of the infinite God. Theology is a valuable tool for deepening our understanding of Scripture, but it remains a secondary source, while the primary source is always the Bible—the Word of God. Therefore, when a church teaches a one-sided or dis

From the Pastor to you: In the United States,  Election Day is held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. It is a day when citizens across the country participate in democratic processes to choose leaders at local, state, and federal levels. For many states, including Texas, this is a day to exercise the civic responsibility of voting and to participate in the governance of communities. Today, November 4 th , across Texas and our nation, people will step

From the pastor to you: By the grace of God, the English-speaking ministry of Dallas Central Methodist Church has been brought faithfully to this day. As our leadership team reflected on the journey we have taken under the name The Bridge Ministry, we began to sense that the Lord was calling us beyond being a ministry on the margins. With a growing desire to establish a healthy and Christ-centered English-speaking church for the future, we entered into a season of prayer and

From the Pastor to you: Welcome to the RockSpring Church website! To the best of my knowledge, this may very well be the first official website for our English-speaking congregation since its founding. There’s something truly exciting about being part of a new beginning. We ask for your interest and prayers as we step into this next chapter of our English Ministry here at Dallas Central Methodist Church. As you journey with us spiritually, we also pray that you may rediscover
