A Mid-Autumn Festival Gospel Message
A Mid-Autumn Festival Gospel Message Extract from Liu Yun Fang Zhou’s sharing 22 September 2024 “The moon dims or shines, and it waxes and wanes again and again.” This is human thought. The moon itself does not change. It rotates and orbits around the Earth. Therefore, what we see through the naked eye may not be the true nature of things. Nonetheless, the truth exists. In Genesis, God tells us that He made…
We Have Refined Our Prayer Meeting
We Have Refined Our Prayer Meeting From the desk of Rev Zheng 1 September 2024 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.” (Mat 18: 19) For the past few years, it has been the same group of people attending the church’s prayer meeting, about 15 of them. Though we wish more could join,…
教会的祷告会更新了
教会的祷告会更新了 郑牧师编写 2024年9月1日 「我又告诉你们:若是你们中间有两个人在地上同心合意地求什么事,我在天上的父必为他们成全。」(太18:19) 数年来出席教会祷告会的是固定的一群人,大约15位左右。虽然我们一直希望有更多弟兄姐妹来一起祷告,但我们更关注的是祷告开始流于公式化,这是祷告会生命力减弱的迹象。这个现象是不容忽视的,因为祷会告是教会生命的脉搏,也是属灵战场的冲刺。 在7月17日,祷告勇士们在分组讨论后提出一些很好的建议。我们根据这些建议对祷告会的内容和形式做了更新。感谢主,经过一个月的不断调整,我们觉得可以正式实行了。 这次的改变主要在两方面。第一,每月将有两周做“灵修读经分享”,其他两周继续做生命查经。“灵修读经”的经文是根据教会的一年读经时间表。我们分小组,每组5-6人围坐在一起,用5分钟时间各自安静默读默想,然后用15分钟时间个人自由简要分享。为帮助弟兄姐妹有效地灵修读经,我们印刷了“灵修读经四步骤”的书签做为引导: 这段经文所记载的事实 这些事实所显示的真理 神藉这个真理向我说什么 我应当如何回应神 除此,我们也提供小笔记簿,让你写下读经心得和对真理的回应,原因是神每一次的光照和感动都是那么的珍贵,值得保留和遗传。这样,弟兄姐妹在一日辛劳后,不会因被动听道而更疲累,但又能享受主话语的滋润。 第二,分小组祷告。想不到小组祷告竟然有不少美妙之处: 五六人围坐一圈,近距离一起唱诗、谈论和祷告使我们的心与心更贴近、祷告时就更容易同心合意了。 小组祷告消除了弟兄姐妹在大组带领祷告的压力,祷告也更朴实无华。 我们总先谈谈所要祷告的事项,从而获得更详细的了解;这样祷告起来就更有发自内心的中肯,大家说“阿们”的谐振幅度也更大! 如果祷告事项繁多,可以在间中唱一首短诗,把大家的目光再次拉回到神的属性,如信实、慈爱、大能…等,每逢唱诗之后,我们的祷告更有信心和活力。 我们不是说更新了的祷告会已经完全了,我们将一边走一边学一边改,主必然喜悦我们这么做。弟兄姐妹,教会集体和谐祷告中隐藏着神所赐的天恩,你也来一起举起祷告的手。好吗?
