大時代的安靜恩典:路得記與以斯帖記品讀

【西區浸信會 成人信徒教育課程】
甚麼是大時代?或許我們要從過去了的日子中,回望歷史時,才能認出時代的大。但活在大時代中的人,也還不是一樣,日出而作,日入而息。面對生活的挑戰,管他甚麼大時代,在面前的困難才是最為真實。
真的只有看得見的困難才是真實嗎?看不見的恩典,難道不也同樣真實嗎?
神的工作,不只是開山劈石,風雷雨電,地動山搖;神也默默地施恩,在平凡的生活中幫助平凡的人。沒有火焰中的荊棘,沒有煙雲中飛翔的天使,神仍然是同樣的真實。
路得記和以斯帖記,兩個在大時代中的平凡女子,靜靜地經歷神的故事。

*COVID-19 疫情 (通訊3)*

自我們實行社交隔離並開始網上崇拜以來已經一個月了。教會生活變得不再一樣。這個週末是我們歷史上第一次每個人都必須留在家過復活節。我們不能在耶穌受難日一起進行默想和領受聖餐。我們推遲了洗禮和轉會禮,也不能一起進行復活節崇拜和慶祝活動。這不僅僅是破壞了我們的習慣和傳統,而是破壞了我們的群體生活。對於許多人來說,無法去教會是他們生命中很大一項損失。許多人不得不適應虛擬的敬拜和團契。其他人,尤其是熟齡的人和老年人,仍然需要學習和應對這種新的社交方式。人們問:什麼時候才能恢復正常?我們什麼時候可以回教會?是的,我們這段時間不能去教會見面。但是請注意,我們才是教會。因此,讓我們實踐我們的信仰,成為教會。讓我們活出主耶穌基督復活的能力。讓我們嘗試彼此關懷,並通過不同的科技為彼此祈禱。對於那些可以通過Zoom以創新方式開會的人,讓我們繼續這樣做。

我意識到我們當中很多人在這段時間裡經歷著巨大的考驗和試探。由於大多數人在家工作,因此一些父母面對著在家上學的額外負擔。一些人失業,面對著額外的財務壓力。一些前線工作人員和基本服務人員面臨健康風險的挑戰。但是,我們許多人開始感到對未知未來的憂慮。在所有這些之中,讓我們將希望寄託在上帝身上,以祂作為我們靈魂的錨。讓我們繼續堅持並成長。讓我們常常通過上帝的話與上帝親近。讓我們繼續保持對主忠心,並常常通過祈禱彼此支持。

[羅馬書 15:13] 但願使人有盼望的 神,因信將諸般的喜樂、平安充滿你們的心,使你們藉著聖靈的能力大有盼望!

【棄】受苦節 默想崇拜

受苦節 默想崇拜【棄】的默想資料,可在此預先下載,並請會眾4月10日受苦節當天預留1至2小時,在家中進行默想。

早期教會的基督徒以最虔敬的心,紀念主受難與復活的日子。此後,這就成為教會的傳統,即用悔罪與禁食,作為一個預備的節期。大齋節期在歷史上也是為那些即將受洗皈依基督的人,提供一段預備的時間;並給那些因犯罪而與教會隔絕的人,一次懺悔與復和的機會,藉此回歸教會的團契。因此,全體會眾必須牢記我們救主在福音中所宣告寬恕與赦罪的信息,信心長進,敬虔事主。

耶穌受難節是大齋節期的高潮,紀念基督被釘十字架。 在這一天,我們與基督的受死與埋葬禮聯合。 在這一天,我們與基督一起經歷他被離棄的痛苦。

因此,我們邀請您,通過祈禱、禁食與克己,並藉著查考聖經和默想上帝的聖言,來守這受苦節。

AN OPEN LETTER TO CANADIAN BAPTISTS

“FOLLOW THE ARK, FOR WE HAVE NEVER BEEN THIS WAY BEFORE” Joshua 3:4

This is a time of fear and uncertainty, never before experienced within our lifetime. An unprecedented time for most of us, yes, but not for the Church. While for most Canadians this may be our first experience with a pandemic, as the Church, we’ve been through this — and worse — before. God has always led us through. The Lord is faithful to do it again.

When the people of Israel stood on the banks of the Jordan, the future was nothing if not uncertain. But what did God ask of them? Follow the Ark of the Covenant — the symbol of God’s eternal promise — and proceed with confidence. God will go before us.

We leaders of the Canadian Baptist family are standing alongside you, your families, churches and local communities. Like you, our lives and families have been turned upside down by the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertainly it brings. You reached out to us for guidance, insight and hope. You asked us how to care for those at risk, both locally and globally. Hard questions about the viability of our churches have been put before us. Know that we hear you and are doing everything possible to support you through this time.

Recently we met (virtually) to share and pray for each other’s churches, pastors, missionaries and organizations. We committed to praying for the whole Canadian Baptist family, and to making ourselves available to offer guidance and direction. Now, we call you to join us in prayer and to continue living generous, hope-filled lives even during this disruptive and difficult time.

This crisis may be the greatest challenge we will ever face as Canadian Baptists, but it may also be our defining moment. How we come together and mobilize as God’s people in the midst of this current crisis may set the course for the future of our denomination. Now is the time to proceed with the shared confidence that comes from knowing God goes before us and his mercies never fail.

Today, we invite you to join us in three acts of faithful discipleship:
  1. Stand united in worship and intercession. Pray fervently for our Canadian Baptist family and all our ministries, including churches, camps, women’s groups, schools, senior’s homes and mission initiatives both local and global. As Canadian Baptists, we affirm his sovereign lordship over all creation and choose to place our total trust in him alone for all the activities we undertake.
  2. Continue to support your church. Many churches will encounter dire consequences without the ongoing financial support of their regular attendees. Find out how to continue giving your tithes and offerings even when church services are suspended.
  3. Care for the most vulnerable. Who are the elderly and recent refugees in your local community? Who are the poor and marginalized in our world who are especially vulnerable during this pandemic? Ask how you can continue to safely minster to those in greatest need.
While the world may have ground to a halt, we need you to be active in praying, giving and caring. None of us have experienced this before, but as his Church, may we continue to live out the Easter hope of Christ’s resurrection and new life.

Shalom,
