Sunday, December 28, 2014 Download 主要經節: 馬可 16:15; 馬太 28:18-20 一. 大使命的來源. 不是失望之後的念頭. 在曠野的最後的試探. 馬太 4:8-9 登山寶訓, 承受地土. 馬太 5:5 承受地土. 詩篇 37:11, 22, 29. 世上的鹽, 世上的光. 馬太 5:13-14 他的絕大勇氣. 馬太 24:35 他的自然與自信. 馬太 26:12-13 他的創新性. 加拉太 3:28 二. 大使命的成就. 偉大的思想常不能實現. 有時不合實際, 帕拉圖的共和國. 有些在實行時破碎. 法國大革命—自由,平等,博愛. 福音在緩慢中傳開來 耶穌基督的理想及異象的實現是他的神性的証據. 在很多的困難下福音普世廣傳. 三. 大使命的責任. 我們欠大使命的債. 我們將它看成我們的使命. 我們用禱告,關心,奉獻來支持普世宣教. 回应诗歌 我们有一故事传给万邦 （圣诗 #526 ） --------------- TITLE: THE COMMISSION OF CHRIST (Life of Christ series #48) Scripture Reading: Mark 16:15; Matt 28:18-20 I. The Conception. Was that an afterthought? Out of disappointment? The last temptation in the wilderness. Matt. 4:8-9 The Sermon on the Mount. “Inherit the earth.” Matt. 5:5 “The meek shall inherit the land.” Psalm 37:11, 22, 29. “The salt of the earth; the light of the world.” Matt. 5:13-14 His overwhelming boldness. Matt. 24:35 His naturalness and confidence. Matt. 26:12-13 His originality. Gal. 3:28 II. The Accomplishment. Great ideas may not be fulfilled. Sometimes impracticable; Plato’s Republic Sometimes crushed under reality; French Revolution—liberty, equality, and fraternity. Slowly the gospel was spread from nation to nation and from land to land. The realization of His commission and vision is one of the strongest of all arguments for the divinity of Jesus Christ. Under great difficulties the worldwide mission has been carried out. III. The Obligation. We owe to this great command. We need to make this commission our own. By prayer, by interest, by thoughtful giving, we can help the worldwide mission work. Hymn of Response: We’ve a Story to Tell (Baptist Hymnal #586)

Sunday, August 3, 2014 Download 主要經節: 馬太福音19:23-30 雷希耀老牧師， Rev. Russell Glazier。 他是芝加哥慕迪聖経學院的畢業生。 一本書”A Martyr's Grace”，做殉道士的恩典。 慕迪的畢業生有二十一位在宣教的工埸為主殉道。 John and Betty Stam。他們在1932年由慕迪畢業。 在1934年被分派到安徽省的旌德縣的工埸。 主耶穌的回答，對約翰和Betty Stam，有什麼意義呢？ 彼得把他心中的一個問題問了出來。 “看哪，我們已經撇下所有的來跟從你，將來我們會得什麼呢？” 在主耶穌給彼得的偉大的回答裡面， 首先，他針對十二位門徒， 然後，他也針對將來每一個世代，忠心跟隨，捨棄自我的門徒們。 將來會有復興的時候。 這個偉大的應許，包含兩方面。 第一方面是，做主耶穌的門徒，在今生會得到什麼？ 第二方面是，在來生會得到什麼？ 提摩太前書四章八節. 一，在今生所得到的豐盛 第一方面，敬虔帶來光明，使一個人每天的生活充滿光明。 箴言第四章18節 第二方面，一個敬虔的生活，可以帶來好的影響。 使徒行傳第五章記載的。 第三方面，一個敬虔的生活，可以帶給自己無愧的良心。 二，在來世會得到永生 主耶穌常常要提到來世，那現在眼不能見，以後永遠的世界。 不只是在今生，而且在來生也有很多的應許與益處。 十九世紀初期，英國浪漫主義的詩人，拜倫Byron。 哥林多前書的第十五章19節。 我們做耶穌的門徒的，跟隨耶穌的人，可以有喜樂。 彼得前書一章3,4節。 約翰福音十一章35節，“耶穌哭了。” 腓立比書第一章23節說，“我正在兩難之間，情願離世與基督同在。因為這是好得無比的。” 在來世，我們最大的喜樂，會是我們將要與主面對面。 回應詩歌： 我必要見主面對面 ------------------------- Title: What Then Will There Be For Us? (Life of Christ series #28) Scriptures: Matthew 19:23-30 Rev. Russell Glazier。 He was a graduate of Moody Bible Institute in 1925. A book about Moody graduates,”A Martyr’s Grace” Twenty-one Moody graduates were martyred in the mission fields. John and Betty Stam graduated in 1932. They were assigned to Anhui Province in 1934. What can be the meaning of this verse on the martyrdom of John and Betty Stam? Peter speaks up with his question. ”We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?” In the great answer which he gave him, Jesus spoke, first of all, to the twelve disciples; and then to every faithful and self-denying follower of Christ in every age. Christ declared that all things are to be restored to the original plan. This great promise divides itself into two parts. First, what the believer in Jesus is to have in this world. Secondly, what he is to have in the world to come. 1 Timothy 4:8. I. Reward Now in This World First, godliness brings light; lights up the path of life from day to day. Proverbs 4:18. Second, a reward of good influence. Acts 5. Third, a reward of a good conscience. II. Reward in the World to Come. Christ speaks of the world to come, which cannot be seen, but eternal. Not only in this life, for Christians there are promise and benefits in the world to come. Nineteenth century English poet of romanticism Byron (1788-1824). 1 Corinthians 15:19. The disciple of Jesus has a living hope. 1 Peter 1:3,4. John 11:35. “Jesus wept.” Philippians 1:23. In the world to come, the greatest of joys will be the joy of the presence of the Savior.

Sunday, July 20, 2014 Download 信息: 一位有錢的少年官 (基督生平系列之二十七) 主要經節: 馬太福音19:16-22 但丁的世界名著，神曲 (Divine Comedy) 那一位有钱的少年官，他由耶穌那里离开，憂憂愁愁的走了。 三本福音并不互相矛盾，而是互相補充。 一，这位少年人的优点 馬可说，耶穌看著他就爱他。 1. 热心 有些人“他與熱心為敵。” 十九世紀去非洲的宣教士，David Livingstone。 這位有钱的少年官，他对屬靈的事情非常的熱心。 2. 勇敢 尼哥底母只敢在晚上来。 但是这位有钱的少年官，却是在众人之前跑來耶穌面前。 他願意接受其他法利赛人的嘲笑或責罵。 3. 有志气 這位少年人要过一个最有意義的生活。 Os Guinness金尼士。呼召(The Call)的书。 英国牛津大学的学生都被学校歌德式(gothic style)所感召。 用牛津大学的例子来鼓励基督徒要有使命感。 4. 不被世俗污染 他遵守所有的誡命。 他不了解主耶穌在登山宝訓里面，讲出来关于内心的更高的标准。 这个有钱的少年官，值得我们称赞與敬佩。 5. 对永生有追求 他飢渴慕義，追求那世界不能给的，眼睛看不到的属靈的东西。 二，一个嚴格的考验 主耶穌看着他就爱他。然後就给他一个严格的考验。 主耶穌是尊重每个人擁有的私人财产。 主耶穌没有把变卖财产分给穷人，當做要做他的门徒的必要条件。 主耶穌只提到要免去貪心，而没有說到不能擁有财产。 这位有钱的少年官，他的钱財使他不能来跟隨耶穌，做耶穌的门徒。 三，他的失败的可悲 這位有那么多優奌的一位有钱的少年官，憂憂愁愁地走離开了。 他的憂愁傷心，是因为他对自己的失望。 這位有钱的少年官，沒有很生气地离开。 我们会好奇，后来這位少年人的官到底怎样了。 在主耶穌对他做了那樣的回答的时候，可能是他最伟大的时刻。 在許多年之后，他叹息的说，“那时候，如果我照耶穌的話做，我己經得到永生，但是现在呢？” 没有一个人决定不跟從耶穌之后，会觉得快乐。 在我们当中，有沒有人是像那位被主耶稣爱的少年人呢？ 也許你今天在遲疑不決，你在心中需要耶穌基督，你不能做决定来接受耶穌。 回应诗歌：#40 我寧願有耶穌 ------------------ Title: The Rich Young Ruler (Life of Christ series #27) Scriptures: Matthew 19:16-22 Dante’s Divine Comedy: The Inferno Hell The rich young ruler, “he went away sorrowful.” The threefold account in the Gospels is not contradictory, but supplements the other. I. The Attractiveness of the Young Ruler Mark says that Jesus, looking upon him, loved him. a. Enthusiasm Some people are “enemies of enthusiasm.” 19th century missionary to Africa, David Livingstone. This young man was enthusiastic about his soul and its welfare. b. Courage Nicodemus came to see Jesus by night. But this rich young ruler ran out to see Jesus openly. He was willing to receive the acorn of Pharisees. c. Ambitions This young man showed a deep interest in the highest things. Os Guinness in his book, “The Call” The students in Oxford are inspires by the spires of gothic building. Oxford, “the city of the dreaming spires,” had bred a dreaming son. Guinness uses Oxford to encourage Christians to have a sense of mission. d. Unspotted from the World The young man had kept all the commandments. He had no conception of the high spiritual interpretations of the Commandments as Christ interprets them in his Sermon on the Mount. This young man is worthy of our praise and admiration. e. Desires Eternal Life He hungered and thirsted for things spiritual. II. The Searching Test Jesus loved him and put him to the supreme test. Christ upheld the right of personal property. Christ did not make giving up all property as a necessary condition of discipleship. Jesus warned against covetousness, not against personal property. This rich young ruler due to his riches could not follow Jesus and become his disciple. III. The Sadness of His Failure He went away sorrowful. Because of deep disappointment. This young man did not go away in a rage. I wonder what his subsequent history was. It was his great moment when Christ spoke to him that he was not far from the Kingdom of God. Many years later, he said with a sigh, “Then, if I had followed Christ, I might have had Eternal Life—but now!” No disciple of Christ ever ceased to follow him and felt happy over it. Do any of us see ourselves in the situation of this lovable young man? If you are hesitating, if you have a secret yearning for Christ, and you feel something is holding you back.

Sunday, July 6, 2014 Download 主要經節: 路加福音 18:1-8 一. 耶穌說這個比喻的含義. 人必須隨時準備要禱告. 我們整個生命必須是一個敬拜神的生命. 我們要堅持不放棄地禱告. 我們必須不住的,在我們清醒時,面臨各樣事情時禱告. 二. 比喻的兩位主角. 這位作官的,沒有好的品格. 這位作官的,做事只考慮到他自己. 這位作官的,對這位寡婦是非常地不同情. 這位寡婦與這位作官的,是完全陌生的. 這位寡婦在這位作官的面前沒有人幫她說話. 這位寡婦沒有得到任何鼓勵. 這位寡婦沒有權利來常常祈求. 這位寡婦使這位作官的覺得被煩擾. 這位寡婦的案子是這位作官不關心的. 這位寡婦只是一個人. 三. 祈求能夠成功的原因. 不是因為她口才好. 不是因為她是完全對的. 因為她不斷地祈求. 回應詩歌：#153 耶穌恩友 --------------------------- Title: The Importunate Widow (Life of Christ #25) Scriptures: Luke 18:1-8 I. Our Lord’s Design in This Parable We ought to be always in the spirit of prayer. Our whole life should be a life of devotion to God. We should persevere in prayer. We should be more frequent in prayer. II. Two Actors. The judge was devoid of all good characters. This judge consciously cared for nothing but his own case. This judge was practically unkind and cruel to her. The widow was apparently a perfect stranger to the judge. She appeared at the judgment seat without a friend. She came without a promise to encourage her. She was without the right of constant access. She provoked the judge every time she prayed. The case of this widow the judge could not be himself personally interested. She was only one. III. The Power That Triumphed Not because she was eloquent. Not because she had the merit. Because she prayed continually. Hymn of Response：What a Friend We Have in Jesus

In an afternoon of a Sabbath, he uttered the terms of discipleship. One must put His claims above the highest and best things of earthly relationship. One must prepared to take up his own cross and follow Him. Why did Jesus require such high standard? I. Lord Jesus has to count the cost. Charles Spurgeon published the magazine, The Sword and Trowel. The idea was taken from Nehemiah. Seeker-driven church; Emergent church. Gideon was the judge to lead God’s army into war. It was an example of the quality of His disciples more important than the quantity of them. II. What am I worth to Him? Recently there was a ceremony of naturalization taking place at Arlington National Cemetery. What is our cross? When our suffering is peculiar to ourselves, we have not touched the realm of the cross. The cross must cost you something. Hymn of Response: I Surrender All (Baptist Hymnal #275)

A woman of bad reputation came to the banquet of a Pharisee to see Jesus. She wants to tell Jesus how much she loves and appreciates him. Jesus knows Simon and the woman. I. The Common Debt They are both debtors, though one owes but a tenth of what the other does. The difference, which does exist, is a difference of degree. God can see our inner motives. “We all sinned and come short of the glory of God.” II. The Common Insolvency We have nothing to pay. None of us can in any degree diminish our sin considered as a debt to God. We need to recognize our penniless insolvency. God does not accept partial payment and let you off the debt. III. The Love Which Varies with the Forgiveness The man that is most forgiven is the man that will love most, if all other things are equal. A man’s consciousness of the benefit received should be considered too. In the church history, many great sinners became the great saints. So let no outcast man or woman listening now to me despair. Let no man think lightly of sin, though it can be forgiven. Our individual spiritual desire and growth depends on our consciousness of our sin and appreciation of God’s forgiveness. Why so many Christians are not growing and desiring in God? God be merciful to us. Show to us that Jesus saved us from a horrible pit. Our real debt to God is ten thousand talents. Let us love Jesus as much as He has loved us.

This event happened during the second year ministry of Lord Jesus. John the Baptist sent his disciples to ask Jesus. “Among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist.” I. The Origin of His Greatness In the human history, God sent great men into the world. God prepared a man, and there is a man sent from God. John’s parents were both righteous before God. After his training in that home of piety and self-denial, John was trained in the desert. II. The Content of His Greatness 1. The greatness of his conviction With terrible earnestness he told the world what he did believe. That deep conviction made John sincere and earnest in his preaching. 2. The greatness of his humility “He must become greater; I must become less.” John never turned his own immense popularity to a selfish purpose. 3. The greatness of his courage Underneath John’s humility was a solid rock. Even to Pharisees and the Sadducees, John preached to them to have fruits of repentance. He marched into King Herod’s palace and denounced his sins. 4. The greatness of his message “But all things that John spoke of this man were true.” “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” In this world, people speak to one another, “You are OK, I am OK. We are not sinners.” This message confesses that Jesus is the Son of God. This message accepts salvation provided through Jesus’ death on the cross.
Sunday, February 9, 2014 Download 信息: 兩種建造的人 (基督生平系列之六) 主要經節: 馬太福音 7:24-27. 登山寶訓結尾的寓言. 光聽不夠,必須馬上照著去做. 一. 我們都在建造. 有些是聰明的人,有些是無知的建造者. 我們建造,最重要的是我們的根基. 主耶穌的話,整本聖經,是我們建造的根基. 如果不照聖經,我們是照人性的罪惡,及世界的智慧. 二. 我們的建築會遭受試煉. 是時間遲早的問題,都會遭受試煉. 我們建築,要考慮在各樣壓力或風暴之下,是否站穩. 主耶穌講的建築是我們的內心,人格,及生命. 有時來到的風暴是使我們犯罪的試探. 有時來到的風暴是我們個人的災難或禍害. 個人的災難,也許會是嚴重的疾病. 有時來到的風暴是豐盛的物質享受. 神給以色列人鵪鶉肉. 每個人在將來必須面臨的試煉是最後的大審判. 三. 試煉之後會有不同的結果. 有些人在風暴之下,會倒塌破壞. 聰明的人把房子蓋在磐石上,不會倒塌. 約翰一書2:17. 每個基督徒做見證,建在耶穌的話言磐石上,不會倒塌. 主耶穌的話對整個社會或文化也是唯一的好根基. 基督教的社會愛護孩童,尊重人權,政治民主. 基督教的社會誠實對人,彼此信任,科學發展. 我們有許多見證人,讓我們做個聰明的建造者. -------------------- Sermon Title: The Two Builders (Life of Christ series #6) Scriptures: Matthew 7:24-27. This parable marks the close of the Sermon on the Mount. We must not only hear; we must obey. I. All Who Hear Are Builders There are the wise builders, and there are the foolish. The most important thing is our foundation. The word of Jesus, the whole Bible, is the foundation of our building. If we do not build according to the Bible, then we build by the evil of men and the wisdom of this world. II. The Building Are Going to Be Tested The buildings we are making, sooner or later, are going to be tested. We must build with a view to hours of crises, to times of tempest. The buildings we are constructing are our inner heart, character, and life. Sometimes the storm breaks upon us in the guise of a great temptation. The storm may come in the guise of some bitter personal loss. There may come to you the complete loss of health. The storm may bring in larger abundance. Quails in the wilderness. Finally, to every one of us is coming the test of the final judgment. III. The Results of the Testing Are Not the Same for All Some are not going to be able to stand the test. But there are those who are going to pass through the testing without loss. Christian witness, built on the word of Jesus, will not fall. The word of Jesus is also good foundation to build society and culture. The Christian society loves children, respects human rights, and develops democracy and science. The Christian culture encourages honesty, trust, and truth. We have a cloud of witnesses; let us be wise builders.

Matthew 6:33. 一. 關於神的榮耀的祈求. I. Petitions That Relates to God’s Glory 第一個祈求. 神的名字是代表神的. The first petition: God’s name represents Himself. 今天的社會,大家不尊神的名為聖. In today’s society people do not hallow God’s name. 五十年前,向尼采學習,神學家說”神己死亡.” Fifty years ago, following Friedrich Nietzsche, theologians said “God is dead.” 第二個祈求. 彌賽亞來世上建立祂的王國. 馬可1:14-15. The second petition: Messiah will come to establish His kingdom. Mark 1:14-15. 耶穌第一次來,是神的國的開始,但尚未降臨. His first coming was the beginning of His kingdom; but it has not come yet. 第三個祈求. 常常我們自已也不能同意神的旨意. The third petition. Often we ourselves do not consent to God’s will. 耶穌向父神說,”然而不要照我的意思,只要照你的意思.” Jesus said to Father, “Nevertheless not my will, but yours, be done.” 二. 關於我們自已的祈求. II. Petitions That Relate to Ourselves 第四個祈求. 可以求日常生活的需要. 提摩太前4:3-5. The fourth petition. We may ask for our daily bread. 1 Timothy 4:3-5. 很多人不相信禱告的功效. 與無神論,唯物主義沒有不同. Many people don’t believe in the usefulness of prayers. They are not different from atheists and materialists. 向神祈求,我們也有責任,與神同工. In addition to prayers, we have our responsibilities—to work together with God. 我們也要幫助別人日常的需要. 雅各書2:15-17. 約翰一書3:17-18. We need to help others about their daily need. James 2:15-17; 1 John 3:17-18. 第五個祈求. 債是人犯的罪. 馬太6:14-15. 路加11:4. The fifth petition. Debts are men’s sins. Matthew 6:14-15. Luke 11:4. 常常我們求神給,忽略求神赦免. Often we ask for things, but forget to ask for forgiveness. 神能夠赦免我們的必要條件,是我們能赦免別人. The necessary condition of our being forgiven by God is to forgive others. 赦免必須建立在一個人的認罪悔改上. 路加17:3. Forgiveness is only given to penitent ones. Luke 17:3. 神赦免認罪悔改的人. 但神愛一切的人. 馬太5:43-45. God forgives only the penitent, but loves everyone. Matt. 5:43-45. 要得到完全的赦免,一個人必須認罪悔改. To receive forgiveness, one must confess one’s sins and repent. 我們是蒙恩的罪人,讓我們像神一樣地愛一切人. We are sinners saved by grace, so let us love others like God does. 第六個祈求. 我們軟弱,求神不叫我們遇見試探. The sixth petition. I am weak, O Lord, bring me not into temptation. 兩百年前,英國富人家,要找一位馬車的車夫. Two centuries ago, a rich English family wants to hire a coachman.
