奧斯汀華人教會 • 粵語堂一週通訊 (12/13-19)

牧者分享 親愛的弟兄姊妹： 願你們在主內平安。為增加粵語堂聖工領袖與大家有更多機會去接觸和讓大家認識領袖們及其服事，我們會每月一次有一位長老或領袖在每週通訊去分享事工展望或屬靈心得。今天，鐘榮星執事有一段敬拜的分享。 以馬內利， 啟諾 Worship that pleases God   The Heart of Worship is surrender.  Get close to God and God will get close to you.  What usually happens during Sunday worship?  Turn on the computer, sing to videos, Sermon, announcements, closing prayer and switch to something else online.  We do that every week.    Are you happy with this?  Do you want more or less?  Do you feel obligated to do this every Sunday?  If you have the freedom, would you do something else?  Did you get the sense that you did something to please God?  Why can’t I worship God in the golf course while playing golf under this beautiful view and listen to the sermon online?   Can I worship God in my garage sale?   What is the right way to worship?   Read Mark 12:30  - Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.   What does that mean?  God wants all of you not the left overs.  Not time and money that you have extra. Accurate – most Christian do not know how many books are in the bible.  Is the book of Jezreel in the NT or OT?  Biblical knowledge in today’s Christian is very bad.  In fact, you can say that Jesus said, “never throw salt on your shoulders” and most church goers think this is true.          We need to know the God we are worshiping.  It is like buying a BMW on eBay without asking the color of the car.  We need to know if the church we are worshiping is a biblical church.  Many people join a cult without knowing it. Authentic – we say a lot of things during our worship services.  There are a lot of standard cliché like “Praise the Lord”, “O come let us worship”, “Trust in Him”.  “Love God with all your heart and soul”, can’t do that if you are not authentic.  Can’t worship if you are just putting an image and make sure people approve of you.   You need to be authentic of who you are and your relationship with God.       Worship needs to engage our emotions.  Worship is not a musical concert.  Worship is not talking psychology, EQ or how to deal with your mother in law. Thoughtful – “love God with all your mind”, many Christians come to church with their minds on … cars, movies, computers, food, party.  We shut down brains to God. Practical – you need to participate.  What did you do today to participate in worship?  Worship should cost us something and it should take effort and energy; otherwise, it is just cheap. 祈禱得力   天父上帝，感謝祢寶貴的救恩禮物。祢賜下獨生愛子耶穌基督給世人，叫一切信祂的不至滅亡反得永生。求聖靈幫助我們在這降臨時節去反省我們的敬拜心態。讓我們的心和準備如昔日的東方博士來朝拜新生王。奉主耶穌的名求，阿們。 屬靈加油站   我們今年看似被covid-19這蠶繭所困。可是切勿忘記蠶繭裏的生命正在銳變著！我們盼望有天會破繭而出去展示和活出新的樣式。但是這生命是被什麼的能力所改變？這新樣式是怎麼樣的？出去哪裡展示？如何展示和活出來？我所說的是我們的屬靈生命。 願意大家參與2020全球華人差傳大會。12/28-30在網絡線上舉行！大會活動時間將會在德州時間傍晚五時後舉行。與實體一樣設有中文和英文節目，也有青少年及兒童節目，適合全家人。詳情請到 https://www.cmcglobal-afc.org/zh。在12/7（週一）以前註册: 每個註冊單位10元 (成人和青少年)；以後25元。請把握時機。 報告 教會慶祝聖誕聯合崇拜：12/20(主日)上午10:00-11:15有全教會聯合崇拜，屆時會在明道樓現場直播。請大家如常使用粵語崇拜鏈接(tinyurl.com/acccantoworship)來同歡慶救主降生。孩童、青少年節目和成人主日學暫停一次，只有一堂聯合崇拜。 請點擊-網上直播崇拜，主日早上11時開始 網上主日學，主日早上9:30開始 請點擊-舊約書卷: 以斯拉記，瑪拉基書 Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83760032192?pwd=bUtIV1F2cHN2bThUOXFILzd2VjZzdz09 Meeting ID: 837 6003 2192 Passcode: 048810 One tap mobile: +13462487799,,83760032192#,,,,,,0#,,048810# US (Houston) 請點擊-新約書卷: 啟示錄 (上) Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89262966441?pwd=TW43ZnR5cXNZNmkyWkFsMEJtaHgyZz09 Meeting ID: 892 6296 6441 Passcode: 986864 One tap mobile: +13462487799,,89262966441# US (Houston) 請點擊-聖徒裝備: 傳福音團隊操練 Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89691140176?pwd=dHBIa0lSSWNrWXQzQWtGcGlFcGhKUT09 Meeting ID: 896 9114 0176 Passcode: 983539 One tap mobile: +13462487799,,89691140176# US (Houston) 網上禱告聚會 ，週三晚上8:00開始 請點擊-平常在教會 Join Zoom Meeting: https://zoom.us/j/944369843?pwd=VzQvdjFrRUJpSXA0MjN2dThyU01FUT09 Meeting ID: 944369843 Password: 053102 One tap mobile: +13462487799,, 944369843# US 請點擊-平常在 Johnny 家 Join Zoom Meeting: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/171664980?pwd=WSt5MUd4dFNFK0FWSGd0elpGR012QT09 Meeting ID: 171 664 980 Password: 031744 One tap mobile: +13462487799,,171664980# US 請點擊-平常在 Vicente 家 Join Zoom Meeting: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/642146313?pwd=b0NDSGtUU0g5ai9XRmppOVFxZ3czUT09 Meeting ID: 642 146 313 Password: 1111811118 One tap mobile: +13462487799,,642146313# US 因疫情緣故，教會現階段仍以網上形式進行活動，教會設施依然關閉。主日除事奉人員可內進外並不對外開放，敬請見諒。各事工計劃在秋季以網上形式進行活動，至少持續到年底。詳細的報告刊登在http://tinyurl.com/reopenCH。
