FUJI AoG Toyokawa Outreach Podcast (日本語訳あり)

復活は単に記憶すべき出来事ではなく、生きるべき命です。多くの信者はイースターを祝いますが、まるでイエスがまだ墓の中にいるかのように生活し続けます。今日は、この真理に焦点を当てます。神が生きておられるからこそ、私たちはこれまでとは違う生き方をしなければならない。

The resurrection is not just an event to remember—it is a life to live. Many believers celebrate Easter but continue living as if Jesus is still in the tomb.Today, we focus on this truth：Because He lives, we must live differently.

There are moments in life when everything feels uncertain-when fear rises, hope fades, and the future seems unclear. We all face struggles, doubts, and challenges that test our faith and shake our confidence. But in the middle of all these, there is one powerful truth that changes everything: Jesus Christ is alive.

人生には、すべてが不確かに感じられる瞬間があります。恐れが押し寄せ、希望が薄れ、未来が見えなくなる時です。私たちは皆、信仰を試され、自信を揺さぶられるような葛藤や疑い、試練に直面します。しかし、そのすべての中で、すべてを変える一つの力強い真実があります――イエス・キリストは生きておられます。

「復活の日（レザレクション・サンデー）」は、ただ祝うための日ではありません。それは、私たちの信仰の土台そのものです。もし復活がなければ、キリスト教には力も希望も未来もありません。信仰は意味を失い、救いの確信もなくなります。しかし、イエスが死からよみがえられたことによって、すべてが変わりました。死は終わりではなくなり、希望は現実となり、信仰は確かなものとなったのです。

RESURRECTION SUNDAY is not just a celebration—it is the foundation of our faith. Without the resurrection, Christianity has no power, no hope, and no future. But because Jesus rose from the dead, everything changes!

私たちの神は愛に満ちた父です。決して私たちを傷つけたいとは思われません。むしろ、私たちにとって最善を望んでおられます。では、なぜクリスチャンは苦しむのでしょうか。それは、私たち自身の間違った決断や選択によるものです。それでもなお、私たちが反抗し、従うことを拒んだとしても、神は私たちを愛し続けておられます。

Our God is a loving Father. Who never wants to hurt us. He wants the best for us. But why Christians suffer? It is because of our wrong decisions and choices. But still He loves us even when we rebel and refuse to obey Him.

人生や奉仕がつらく感じるのは、仕事が難しすぎるからではなく、知恵を使っていないからかもしれません。このみことばは、ただ努力するよりも、準備と神の知恵のほうが大切だと教えています。多くの人は忙しいですが、実際には良い結果を出せていません。神様は、ただ一生けんめい働くことではなく、神の知恵を使って賢く働くことを求めています

Life and ministry can feel exhausting not because the work is too hard-but because we are not working wisely. This verse reminds us that preparation and wisdom are more powerful than mere effort.Many people are busy, but not effective. God is calling us not just to work hard-but to work smart with His wisdom.

Just as the human body has five senses for its protection and care, God has provided five ministry gifts for the protection and care of the body of Christ. The five-fold ministry resulted from Christ's ascension to heaven. These gifts were released by Christ during His ascension and are therefore also known as the ascension gifts. The full expression of the ministry of Jesus requires the full 5-fold ministry to be in operation.

Ministry is not about position, recognition, or power. Ministry is about serving God and serving people. Every believer is called to participate in God's work. When we follow Christ, we also follow His example of service.Even Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came not to be served but to serve. If the King of kings became a servant, then we as His followers must also have a heart for ministry.

Rooted in the Bible refers to building one’s life and faith on the truth and teachings of Scripture. It means allowing the Word of God to be the foundation for beliefs, decisions, character, and daily living. When a believer is rooted in the Bible, they are not easily shaken by doubts, false teachings, or the pressures of the world because their faith is grounded in God’s truth.

Addressing issues that challenge the growth of new converts means guiding and supporting those who are new in faith so they can grow stronger in their relationship with God. Many new believers face struggles such as doubts, old habits, lack of biblical understanding, spiritual discouragement, or pressure from their surroundings.This ministry focuses on discipling, teaching, encouraging, and walking alongside them as they learn to live out their faith. Through prayer, biblical instruction, fellowship, and mentorship, the goal is to help new converts develop a firm foundation in Christ, overcome spiritual challenges, and mature into faithful followers who can also disciple others.

Many people today are chasing success, recognition, and approval. We want favor-from God and from people. Proverbs 3:3-4 shows us that true favor does not come from position, wealth, or talent, but from a life shaped by love and faithfulness.These verses teach us how to live in a way that honors God and impacts others.

Romans 5:8 "While we were sinners, Christ died for us."Love is not proven by words spoken in church, but by how we treat people at home, at work, and even those who hurt us.

Advancing in the work of The Lord is not about comfort or recognition—it’s about obedience.We move forward by faith, anchored in the Word, led by the Spirit, and committed to making Christ known.This is the work: to serve, to build, to disciple, and to go where He sends.No turning back. No compromise. Only faith in action.
