Worship and Theology 敬拜與神學

Joshua Law

Professor Joshua Law teaches voice, choir and East Asian music at CCSF since 1972. As a boy, Joshua was fond of singing. He found interest in music in his preteen years when he started to learn to play the piano from his cousin Julia, sang in a church choir, learned music theory from his choir director Jenny K. Wong. Joshua began his music life as a violin player at his high school orchestra. He played trumpet as a teenager and started cello lessons in college because the small college orchestra needed one cellist. He was given free voice lessons in exchange for correcting music theory papers for a voice teacher. At his senior year at college, majoring in Social Work, he won first place in a city wide singing contest that landed him an European tour immediately after his graduation. Joshua was accepted into the graduate music program at Cal State L. A. from which he got his master's degree in music studying voice with Esther Andreas and William Vennard. He is specialized in voice pedagogy and was selected as a vocal workshop singer by Richard Miller. In addition to playing the above mentioned musical instruments, Joshua plays the baritone horn, the trombone, the saxophone and a number of other instruments. Joshua performed, in numerous occasions, leading roles in operas and oratorios, directed oratorio productions and Broadway shows, sang solo concerts, produced many concerts and many music for radio and TV programs and served in numerous singing contests as chief judge. Being known as an excellent vocalist and choir director, Joshua was invited by local and international churches for advice and workshops. To equip himself for such frequent invitations, he had pursued theological education which gave him two more post graduate degrees in theology and pastoral ministry. He maintains a piano tuning and rebuilding workshop at his house and in frequent occasions is invited to give sermons in churches, lectures on the principles and practices of church music all over this country, in Asia, South America and Canada.

真知道祂

真知道祂

聖經:路加福音24:13-35

介紹:
這是我們的主復活後出現的最生動,最有洞察力的敘述之一。這是一個故事,不僅向我們揭示了一些關於我們是誰的事情,而且還展示了耶穌如何睜開我們的眼睛,看到祂是誰,以及我們如何認識祂。

到以瑪午斯的旅程既是文字記錄的旅程,也是屬靈的旅程。門徒從耶路撒冷步行七英里到他們的以瑪午斯村。這是一次身體上的和屬靈上的旅程。我們都從不承認耶穌,到了解聖經所說的關於祂的事情,承認祂是誰,並最終到為我們所見證的我們所經歷的旅程作見證。
