牧者的话 - 06-01-2009

主内列位同道及朋友们平安:

上帝在时候满足的时候,就差遣主耶稣为女子所生,他把自己献上为祭,如同羔羊,没有瑕疵。为我们开了一条又新又活的道路。让相信主耶稣的人得到赦罪之恩,可坦然无惧进到施恩宝座前。

(一)希伯来书十:22至24节要信徒注意三件事:

(1)一同进到上帝面前,不要忘记崇拜的责任。在日夜忙碌中,要抽出一些时间,用诚心和充足的信心进到上帝面前。(22节)

(2)坚握着心灵上的信仰。坚守所宣认的盼望,不因物资影响信心,减低对上帝的信靠,因为只有上帝是可靠的,属於物质都会改变。(23节)

(3)不要只顾念自己,同时要为别人而活。避免把救恩只当着是自己的私产,要藉着替人服务,从自己开始,去影响别人,也勉励别人向善。(24节)

第24节的激发爱心的爱是「爱加倍」,指出是上帝的爱。

(二)第25节又回到第22节的勉励,不要放弃崇拜的习惯,成为离群的基督徒。要在群体中给人听到你发出赞美和感谢的话,并以鼓励扶助别人看为己任。记得,能说出造就人的话,你就是一个有福的人。

主要来的日子近了,要抓住机会尽自己所能向别人多行善事。

黄恩浩牧师将在1月18日参与按牧事奉,一月份的三个主日安排一家四人见证主道,分享灵恩,请出席聚会,不忘带领一人的目标放在祷告中,并配上行动。1月18日之聚会照常六时开始,七时半举行按牧礼,会后聚餐。请阅读一遍本周附上之周刊,必获益多多。 敬祝

藉着团契心里火热
信望爱聚会全体信徒
及牧师黄鹏远 敬上

Dear fellow believers and friends

Peace!

God, in His time, sent His son, Jesus Christ to be born of a woman, present Himself as a sacrifice, like a lamb without blemish. The aim is to provide us a new and living route, so that those who believe in Jesus Christ can receive the grace of salvation, entering into heavenly throne without fear.
(1) In the book of Hebrews 10:22-24, it highlighted 3 aspects Christians ought to observe:
(1) Come before God, not forgetting the responsibility of worshipping God, in busyness to spend some time through sincere and adequate faith to come before God (verse 22)
(2) Seize the spiritual belief and adhere to the initial hope and not let the material possessions to overwhelm our reliance on God, for God is the reliable source as material possession can be changed.
(3) Do not care only for self but also others around you. Do not let salvation to be a self possession, but to serve others. Start out with yourself and serve and influence others. (verse 24)

The ultimate force to love is the “agape” love which is God’s love.

(2) Verse 25 brings us back to verse 24, not to forsake the habit of worshipping and seek out those who have left the church, so that others can hear the praise and thanksgivings in building them up; encouraging and helping others as a responsibility to self. You will be a blessed person if you are able to build up others.

The coming of the Lord draw nearer each day, let grab hold of the opportunity to do good deeds to others.

Rev Samuel Oey will be involved in the 18 January 2009 ordination ceremony. We have arranged for him and his family to speak to us during their 3 weeks stay here. Please attend and not forget the church’s objective of inviting at least one person. The service on 18 January 2008 remains the same. The ordination ceremony will commence at 7.30pm. There will be a buffet after that. Please read through the bulletin attached. You will benefit from it.

Rev Bunyan Oey
