弟兄姊妹們平安:
久等了!這周我們的newsletter發的有點晚,希望大家沒有誤會團契取消了哦~
最近國內有不少城市下了暴雨,不僅造成了城市交通的不便,嚴重的更威脅到了人們的生命.相信大家都有親戚朋友在國內, 不管在哪個城市, 都希望他們能夠平平安安. 我們在遠方也會爲他們禱告,希望神保守看顧我們的家人朋友,也保守我們的城市和國家.
在這周的活動中,我們會圍繞“愛”這個話題進行討論.愛, 不僅僅是對我們的家人, 朋友, 更多的是對我們身邊的人, 甚至是我們的對手或敵人.在馬太福音第章的最後一段經文中, 耶穌教導我們應該怎樣去對待我們的得罪我們, 甚至迫害我們的人.當耶穌說“你們要完全,像你們的天父完全一樣”(太5:48)時,祂在指什麼呢?我們怎麼樣去愛我們的敵人呢?這次我們將繼續分成小組進行學習與討論,歡迎有興趣的同學繼續加入我們的討論哦~~ MCCF會一直期待每週五與大家的約會,還是不見不散哦~~
Dear brothers and sisters:
Thank you all for waiting! We sent out the newsletter a bit of late this week, hope you all didn’t think fellowship was cancelled~
Recently there have been many thunderstorms in China, which have not only disrupted the transportation within cities; these storms have caused many casualties. We know that all of us have families and friends back in China, and we sincerely hope that regardless of which city they are in, they all will be safe. Here in Canada, we will be praying for everyone, and praying that God may keep our family and friends, as well as watch over our nation.
This week we will be having a group discussion on the topic of “love”. This love is not only directed towards our families and friends, it is directed towards our rivals and enemies. In the last section of Matthew Chapter 5, Jesus teaches us how to treat those who have wronged us in the past. Jesus had said “be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Matthew 5:48). What did He mean? How do we love our enemies? This Friday, we will be having a group discussion around this section of the Scripture, and as always, we welcome you to join us! See you then!
