am greatly happy to see all of you I don't know if you've heard but on my way back from Canada I had to go to the hospital to the emergency room I had this very sharp pain emcy and you know I thought on my way over there that maybe something was going to happen so I had to stop by the emergency room and I as a matter of fact was Happy from one from one point of I thought you know Heaven is really close by and my wife said um I will give you Di I I will give you my own diagnosis she says you don't have anything you're you're just in a stressful situation and you know I am very grateful uh there was this beautiful Hospital in San Antonio and they told me that through my stressful situation I had a spasm and you think I was happy because of that you know I I was actually excited to go into heaven and in two days I went to Vancouver po Poland sorry Poland I give you greetings from the church in Poland and today I'll be reading from the word of God and we're going to have this uh topic I'll be reading from Matthew 24:45 and lower listen carefully is Ephesians chapter six and we'll be reading from verse five and to seven we'll be going back to Matthew chapter 25 verse verse 21 I'd like to share something before I go into heaven these words that says the Lord faithful servant go into um into my happiness I will be sharing a um it's a testimony of a brother that I know Pastor Boon starts a story like this there was one testimony uh that came in my Facebook account from Ukraine and this person writes about himself when this war started I was in the uh I was learning in a bible school and I was given this uh these two options should I go back to Bible School in Ukraine or should I should I go to West Ukraine message and he writes this text message to his brother and uh our the mother uh taught us to serve the Lord and I know that there's this very important decision that I have to make that is in front of me and but you have taught me that uh so that I would serve the Lord always and he decided to go into uh Kev to work with people there and so Pastor vasil uh gives this question to his con he said that when I read this story I made a test in my own heart what would I do in if I was put in the situation and I will tell you honestly I would not have gone to K I did not pass this test I I tell you this honestly I would not go anywhere I have come to a conclusion in my own heart that I did not pass this test I will I would like to share another story before we go back to the text that I read there was this one Pastor in Kev that I knew he was a very good pastor he grabbed his entire congregation from that Sila he let he himself stayed in the village where uh all the Russian soldiers came into that Village they checked every single building that was in that Village and this pastor was at home and he was baking bread and he was walking around the village handing out the bread that he baked he comes to the Russian soldiers as well and uh he also gave them bread and after that the Russian soldiers left and in his village all the people started walking around and they started saying they all have left us only you stayed in our village and the entire rest of the village started going to his I would like for all of you to pay attention to what I want to guide us to today I would I I share my sermons and I share testimonies to just bring you all to a certain Ministry I don't want to critique anyone and say we already have enough people in the Ministries that we already have my sermons are always founded on uh inviting every single person to a Ministry that is that God is calling them to do and so there's a test in front of every you have all come to America the best country in the world everything we have you know me and my family we were uh celebrating Thanksgiving and wholeheartedly we were giving thanks to God for everything that we have and for the fact that we are all in America I never dreamt of so much food that I could have all together in one place God has greatly blessed all of us but I would like to turn our attention to a different side how grateful are we that the that God has saved us blessed us and what is our uh payback to God for that how do we serve him do we serve him in our Ministries are we are we trustworthy to God in Poland there was a guy from from Spain he started his sermon with very interesting words they he said that there were they there came a 100 people to Spain I I came to attention one thing there were a few people out of the hundred that were Christians and God has blessed bless them abundantly with the documents documentation with with work with money and I started asking why do these people get such uh favoritism and why are they blessed so much and what he said next gave me uh it uh it surprised me when I came to every single one of them and I was asking them their story and they said back to me every single time we were in different churches we were always serving in church you know we came to every single church service and we came up to the pastors and we always kept asking how can we serve what can we do to serve and we started to serve in the church for God and God has blessed there are two texts from the Bible that come to my attention the first passage that I'd like to bring up is is written in the book of Samuel when the Ark of Covenant was being transported and David wanted to bring it into Jerusalem but you know the story why the Arc of Covenant wasn't brought into Jerusalem this uh Arc of Covenant was brought to the house umom and it says these interesting words and God began to bless the house of Adam and everything that he had it was so blessed that everyone saw it I like to try and imagine how everything happened and how everything on this Arc of Covenant wasn't just like a suitcase that you can put inside of a closet the measurements that it had were very big I don't know the exact measurements that it had but it was very big and I think and I think I imagine to myself that this man Adam put this Arc of Covenant in the in the best room that he had in his house and maybe sometime he went into that room and he and he wanted to say oh I want everything to be I want everything to be neat maybe he told his children he said children be peaceful the Ark of Covenant is inside of our inside of our but something through that God started to bless his family so much when you work for God when you serve God God starts to bless your home when you serve in the house of God God starts to bless you because God blesses those who serve him and as I read in the Bible it said uh it said to the servant the one who's lazy the lazy servant God has given each and every single one of you a talent and you can do a lot with that talent in the house of God we have nine different Ministries in our church today and I really don't like when I hear the words oh I was in in an American church I saw this and this was done in that church and it's not done in our church and I always give them this question but how are you going to serve in this church I go to this one American church and I see how it's done this way I want it to be done this the same way in our church give me that service and I'll do it here people in the side say for it's not the same for us is as it is over there and to help in that they they sit and they ask what's going to what's what is furthermore when you love the house of God and fear the lord fear God and and uh want to serve him you will want to serve in the house that has has been given to you that you are called but if you take that talent that you that God gave you and you hide it God will come to you and he will ask you I don't know how how he will critique the other people but my very deep [Music] desire that when I go to heaven and I see all of you that God will look at you and say come my good and faithful servant come into my happiness into and so I ask each and every single one of you to examine your hearts examine your finances give yourself a test and ask yourself what do I do to serve in the house of God check yourself so that the Lord would bless you another interesting story that is written in the book of Exodus you know when the Israelites were leaving Egypt or when the Israelites were still in Egypt uh the Egyptians uh got kind of scared and said to started asking themselves will the Israelites take over uh [Music] Egypt and so they went ahead and they uh murdered all the kids that the Israelites had and uh in there was this one family uh the mother of Moses it's written in the Bible that they feared God and it it is written that because they feared God God Protected Their fam I don't know how how uh their homes were built but over their household was the blessing of God they feared God they did not want this uh command that the Egyptians gave to uh be fulfilled in their household and God said that I will protect your household your children your grandchild your your work everything you do and you will fear God and you will serve him and so I want all of us I want this desire to ignite in each and every I want to serve the church I will do Deeds uh to receive blessings from God and you will see God's protection and God's blessings in your heart everything that God has given us he will ask us about it and this is uh a great desire of mine because God has given and he will he will ask to every single person about what he was given G he gave you a talent to sing come sing gave you a talent to uh make food so make food gave you a talent to clean so clean uh to be an usher to be operator in uh missionary service for Sunday school and others Ministries I I I pray that God gives you this great desire to serve him let's God let God's glory and mercy abide I would let I I I pray that I see the blessings that God gives you so that every single person can see that this household is blessed let us stand and we are going to pray and in this prayer I want us to ask God so that God would forgive us in some aspects of Our Lives maybe we were lazy and so that we would ask him this spiritual desire to serve him [Music] for [Music] for [Music] for praise be to our god dear Church you know as we were listening for the listening to the sermon that we are supposed to serve others and serve in the church and that is what God has called us to do to do good deeds and to serve others and right now we are given this opportunity to serve our church uh in our Tidings let let the Lord bless us [Music] uh before I ask the group of Luda to come up and sing uh I will go over a few announcements through the following Sunday today at 6:30 there will be a church service here in this church on Mondays as usual we will be

[Music] you [Music] [Music] as Thanksgiving has just passed I'd like to also uh give thanks from my family and to God that uh this past week exactly a week ago God has blessed us with another another child in my family and you know uh being in the hospital holding her in my arms this one verse came to mind and I'd like to share it with all of you you know a lot of times at the end of it all uh when we think about something we don't understand the the the the complexity of it and we don't understand the entire picture and so this verse was written by Vera k chta Capal B [Music] for [Music] [Music] [Music] B for [Music] what thing need the [Music] SP my [Music] down God I [Music] my my S [Music] my CH what your B shine [Music] know you I [Music] I [Music] I [Music] I [Music] [Applause] [Music] I down I [Music] SP for for [Music] it is very pleasant to see when the children serve in church um as I saw the children leaving uh I saw that all the grandparents the parents brought up their phones and started recording and taking pictures of their children and you know they're all taking pictures and videos of their own children not my own I need to take a video myself why because they are my M we are all children of God I have a great happiness to introduce a guest that is in our church today I was uh here at church and I kind of sometimes remembered about him his name is seryak who uh took his church uh out of the Village he took everything didn't even leave the um the op uh the uh and today he is here with us thank you very much I greet you all dear Church peace be to [Music] you and for a few moment moments I would like to introduce myself to tell you about myself I would like for all of us first to read a passage from the Bible uh the book of Nehemiah chapter 1 from verse 1 to four for uh nemia he was um a very important person to the Jewish people who was the uh Artic six it is the man who was triumphant against a big army he was named the King of Kings uh Lord of lords uh technically he was the most one of the most powerful people in the world at that time neemia he was he was oh he was a servant no okay uh back then the ministry was uh called something else but in today times he would uh maybe his uh what he did he was a carpenter he was a very powerful and very wealthy man back in the time maybe nemia had a very beautiful home he had his own servants his own slaves he was a man who did not need anything [Music] uh he was a favorite of the king and you know he he heard that the the Gates of Jerusalem were burnt down and the walls of Jerusalem came down so what happened to nehemia he lost his son he lost his appetite it moved him so much that an entire half a year passed and this one time came where neemia brought wine to his King and the King himself saw that there was something wrong with neemia and so he asked him what's going on neemia he says I can't it hurts right here my brothers are suffering my city is is torn down and so the King asks him what do you want nemia says I want I want letter that would uh give me the right to move through the entire country and I want to go to the city of Jerusalem to build back what was torn down and so nemia leaves his comfortable lifestyle he goes to the abandoned city he starts living in this not so comfortable place and uh the people there are mad at neemia if we remember in the Bible it says that there were two cities and one one was being attacked why does neemia leave his comfortable lifestyle and goes to this uh not so pleasant Place why did Moses being the next Prince of Egypt probably the most most uh the strongest Empire at that time and goes into the desert with the Israelites lives in this desert and even dies in that desert why did Jesus Christ why did he leave the glory of glories in come down to this place live the life of an actual human being and at the end die and embarrassing and in an embarrassing and excruciatingly painful way we will return to that later but for now my name is sergy my family name is kak or my last it's just my family name and and you know when people hear my family name they kind of start smiling and I start hearing these many funny uh stories you know my my name has a very long uh Biblical history when the angel of the Lord came down and uh killed all the firstborn children and so the Israelites what they did is they painted their door frames with a with a perfect Lamb's blood and that is a kasak of a door and that's his last name painted by the blood of a lamb and protected with the Holy Angel I'm from Ukraine from the city of DK um many of you might know that the war has passed by through my city not this year but last year uh at that moment from that moment I was a pastor of my church for 15 years you know if we can all kind of Imagine what's going on now in the two two thou uh 2000 in the year 2023 you uh you don't even know what was going on back in 2014 in our city we didn't know what was going on and we didn't know what was going to happen but in that place we couldn't stay there and we as a church what could we have done we started to exit the city of the DK and we started to pray for the protection of God over our city and the people the Russians that came into our city they they didn't need love they didn't need protection or mercy and they arrested me and they threw me into pretty much into a basement and they kind of beat me up and embarrassed me and kind of uh uh made fun of me in a way and the fact that I'm standing here before every single one of you it is a great Mercy because I was supposed to be dead back in 2014 but God was there with me in jail it was a very big blessing it was a very big blessing like uh in the Bible it says when Stephan was being stoned there was no anger or hatred towards the people that were doing this to me you know I was looking at them and I kind of felt bad for them and when they were beating me up I was praying very loudly and when they weren't beating me up I was preaching to them you know I I was preaching to them you were built in the image of God and look what you have brought yourselves to be doing now and you know after a while I kind of looked like a strange man to them uh when they were beating me up I was praying when they weren't beating me up I was preaching and so they brought a specialist of religion uh and I remember I was um on camera uh I was all covered in uh blood I was all naked sorry uh in front of me there there's a puddle of blood my uh entire body is covered in my entire my my lips were sewed back together and my nose was broken and and then I hear this man sits next to me and I look up and I see a new face this is the first time I'm seeing this man I haven't preached to him yet and so then I started to preach to him and he says you don't have to preach to me I already know everything and then something happened they stopped beating me up they brought me water they took me to a a normal bathroom and then when I'm in this room uh the man comes out and yells in the hallway he is a holy man you beat him up he's a holy man you beat him up and he comes back into where I was and he says please forgive me I know you you you are the man who gathers people and you pray for the institution and he says please forgive me I was once in your church this was inside of that one room he was he was the pretty much kind of like the warden of that uh jail and at that time I didn't understand why was he asking me for forgiveness but something happened in his heart you know in life we come in we we are put into many different situations and we think to ourselves where is God in this situation I will tell you this right now God is there and after a while you will look back and you will understand why did that why that happened May even if it was because of one person God has a plan for you and in him you can always find peace they let me go and all those who beat me up he told them to ask me for forgiveness as well they gave me back my money they gave me a car and it didn't have a serial number and back in that time there were many cars without serial numbers and so when I was driving around in this car no one ever stopped me no uh cops ever stopped me because they always thought that I was one of theirs and so we continued to do our prayer half a year we prayed for our city of den in the center of the city uh I've lived in this city when it was occupied by Russians three times first the first time was when the Russians first came and uh the second time when they were shooting rockets in our city that was the scariest time of them all and the third time was when the Russians actually uh all came in full force and occupied the entire city of the and you know one time I went to Kev and I was going back and and on my way back I got a phone call on my cell phone and they're telling me um sergy you're you're not going to be able to come back and and I asked what happened and he said that they're looking to arrest you a second time God for the second time saved my life because instead of arresting me they arrested my helper and when I met up with him after they released him and he told me that if they did arrest you you would not be alive right now they were looking for you and they were looking to kill you and so I was left alive and so I I hardly had anything maybe a bag of clothes and some sandals and you know in I guess anywhere if if you see anyone like that you'd call them a bum but God took that bum and he fed him and he gave him the opportunity to preach to other people and uh I went back to where I was and we started many different human and uh we were building these humanitary outposts there were many things that God has done and uh for three and a half years I've been living with uh Slavic people and during this whole time my wife and children were living in Germany and my my wife is also a German and you know I think I'm thinking to myself there are so many things that we do for for God and uh we put so much uh needs and uh requests to God and that second part is also and uh 2018 I went back to Germany and so just to be a hero to my own wife and to my children [Music] and so I I go back to the story from the Bible why did nehemia leave this comfortable lifestyle and go to where he was needed and and uh why did Moses leave the strongest Empire at that time and go into the desert with his people the israelit why does Jesus leave the Throne of God and come down and live a life on this Earth and die for our sins in the Bible it says that God so loved the world that he sent his one and only son and uh just by reading that we know that that God loved the world so [Music] much and so that Jesus Christ himself has has taken this burden upon himself to fulfill it we are all built in the image We Are All Made in the image of God and the same same feelings that we have toward God God has those feelings toward us it's this uh feeling of sympathy when we when something is uh appealing to us it is welcoming to us is the same it is the same thing when God said it is Pleasant to me to hear my nation pray it is uh God himself has emotions um there's this one emotion that God has is uh antipa anti as long as you all understood him that's good empathy empathy God has this feeling of empathy it is not like a a a burden feeling it's uh it's it's a feeling of empathy it is when uh you see someone's pain someone else's problem it kind of becomes uh a problem of your own you kind of start to feel the pain that someone else feels and it kind of uh hurts it hits your heart so hard it's it's the pain of a destroyed Jerusalem it became the pain of nehemia the um the pain that the Israelites the Jews had when they were enslaved in egyp it became a burden in Moses himself the pain of this failing world it was a pain that Jesus Christ himself felt when he was still in heaven before he came down to earth yours and my pain it the pain that you and I have it could not keep Jesus Christ from coming down and suffering and dying on the cross for our sins neemia and Moses are also examples they could not handle the burden that they felt even in their comfortable Lifestyles and I can only imagine the dialogue that that they had back then when God the Father spoke to his own son s son I love this world so much but you have to die and Jesus Christ says to the father Yes I am ready because over here it hurts because over here in my heart I can feel the pain of the world and suffering I I feel this pain in myself it says in the Bible that he has taken up the burden of us and we and he has taken it upon himself and here on Earth he paid that price Jesus Christ accepts this this pain that we have for for one reason because yours and my pain was the pain that Jesus Christ felt you know it is very hard to imagine what happened in heaven and what happened here you know I know a lot of us here are ready to die for our children uh even now back in the country Ukraine there are many people that are dying for just to protect their their country there were many people that were uh crucified but in the story of Eternity there has never been a moment that God the father was has uh departed from the that never happened in all of eternity but when he but when Jesus was on that cross Jesus Christ said these words he says father father why have you left me for the first time in all of eternity at that moment God the father was separated from him for one for one because God uh sees importance in your life your suffering it doesn't matter if you go to Eternity or if you don't praise God in the year 2019 there was a big package that came to me from a humanitarian Outpost I came into this one home there was this one lady who was 86 years old and she's blind and she lived with her son who was an alcoholic and he was only living with her just so that she could sustain him with her pension and so you know she she was living there when I went into her room and you know I was there for maybe five or 10 minutes and you could just uh you could you could smell the the it just of of what was going on in and in that one room she eats there she goes to the bathroom and you know in her bathroom there's this there's this one uh tub and in that tub she uses the bathroom and you know that that bucket hasn't been taken out for over two weeks at least and so her son kind of uh he the way he gives her food it's like giving and so she's blind and she kind of feels around the floor to find the food and that's how she eats this is a human being who lives through this and so I went into another house and it's almost the same picture and it started to hurt me I started to yell in front God Lord why there were 17 people that were praying with me that were working with the humanitarians two of them were killed uh uh there was one man he was out in uh handing out food and there was a bullet that found him and hit him in the in the head and so my helper that they arrested instead of me he only lived for a short while after they let him out and so we ourselves we believed in this that there would be changes uh coming into our city that the life of a person of a life of a human being will will be worth something this isn't Africa where a lot of people live like this this is Ukraine where right by you there's millions of dollars that go that drive right by and so I I was praying to God and I and I said God this is what we were praying for we were sitting outside of the city and we were praying in the in the center before our city and so the Lord spoke to my heart and this is just how I'm telling you this is what I [Music] heard if children threw away their parents if uh a soldier doesn't defend his own country then then the arms of God the it it is you in the church serving I went back to Germany I sit down and the bread doesn't reach my throat and so I I tell my wife after all that I saw there's no way that I I I have to do something you know my wife is such a holy woman she say Ser we have we have a car let's let's go ahead and sell it and and help the people that are in need we sold our car and so we we took that money we came back to the country and we we gave it out to people who were were who were helping people the uh and all of those who needed it and so a friend of mine in America he called me and he said hey why don't you come to America and we'll start a fundraiser for Ukraine and I've been traveling to churches we've been uh uh saving up money we bought a house we remodeled it and we built it and we named it um hospice for people of need uh this was in the year 2019 we have now opened up five other homes and so the home that I had back in 2014 in Germany I still have it and we uh established six different Services uh brother vasili was there uh with us then but you know when I was coming here to America I asked the church to let me go I gave up my my Ministry to someone else and you know I said to myself everything there is already set everything is organized everything is is ready and so I I felt in my heart that it was uh an opportunity that I had to take to leave my comfort zone to leave my home and to go and help people that who are and our goal is to open at least one uh one home uh every year and the ultimate goal is to have at least 100 homes because I know in my heart that there that we we are the hands of God and God works through us I have lived three and a half years of my life at the FR and so I see people leave their homes because they they they just for them the people that are leaving there they just see no need to stay in the home that may be destroyed and maybe a few days or a year from now the normal pension for uh single person uh averages from about 120 it is $60 a month but prices [Music] there and to think that they have live they have come to a time where they live where the pension is only $60 month but God they he sent his son because in the Bible it says that you have been bought at a very high price I will be finishing my sermon but before I have a minute and a half video that I would like to share just so that you would know and understand what exactly we're doing over there and so this is the video the sound will start in a [Music] minute [Music] love love [Music] [Music] you [Music] fore uh the and we will also be taking part in this very important Ministry we would like to bless and uh our nursing homes that we have here are very different from what what what there is and uh we will go over this ministry with our brothers in our brothers meeting we want to help in Ukraine it says in the Bible that everything you do for others
