Name: Steamed Barbecued Pork Buns (Cha Siu Bow)
Ingredients: STEAMED BARBECUED PORK BUNS; (Cha Siu Bow); 4 c Finely diced Chinese barbecued pork; 1/2 c Dehydrated onion flakes; 2 ts Hoisin sauce; 2 ts Dry sherry; 4 ts Oyster sauce; 2 ts Catsup; 1 ts Sugar; 1 1/2 tb Cornstarch; 1 1/2 c Chicken stock

To deny that Jesus Christ is the only Savior is to deny the utter seriousness of the human condition and the gravity of the offense against God. To deny that faith is the only way by which we may apprehend Christ’s riches is to deny the uniqueness of the person and work of the Savior and to deny the clarity of His Word. At stake when we consider Jesus’ claims to exclusivity is the gospel itself. The stakes could not possibly be any higher.

A Message from our Provider:

“Life: your chance to spurn God’s love Eternity: living with the consequences”

Spiritual joy is: The settled conviction that God sovereignly controls the events of life for the believers’ good and His glory. Spiritual joy is not an attitude dependent on chance or circumstance. It is the deep and abiding confidence that regardless of one’s circumstances in life, all is well between the believer and the Lord. No matter what difficulty, pain, disappointment, failure, rejection, or other challenge one is facing, genuine joy remains because of that eternal well being established by God’s grace in salvation. Thus, Scripture makes it clear that the fullest, most lasting and satisfying joy is derived from a true relationship with God. It is not based on circumstances or chance, but is the gracious and permanent possession of every child of God.

John MacArthur
