今日的信息:基督之家---教會

一.基督之家---教會

1.論起誓:(馬太福音:5:33-37)

33你們又聽見有吩咐古人的話，說，不可背誓，所起的誓，總要向主謹守。
34隻是我告訴你們，什麽誓都不可起，不可指著天起誓，因為天是神的座位。
35不可指著地起誓，因為地是他的腳凳。也不可指著耶路撒冷起誓，因為耶路撒冷是大君的京城。
36又不可指著你的頭起誓，因為你不能使一根頭發變黑變白了。
37你們的話，是，就說是，不是，就說不是。若再多說，就是出於那惡者。（或作是從惡裏出來的）
33Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, \'Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.\'
34But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God\'s throne;
35or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.
36And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black.
37Simply let your \'Yes\' be \'Yes,\' and your \'No,\' \'No\'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

2.約書亞記24:14-15

14現在你們要敬畏耶和華，誠心實意地事奉他，將你們列祖在大河那邊和在埃及所事奉的神除掉，去事奉耶和華。
15若是你們以事奉耶和華為不好，今日就可以選擇所要事奉的，是你們列祖在大河那邊所事奉的神呢？是你們所住這地的亞摩利人的神呢？至於我和我家，我們必定事奉耶和華。
14Now fear the LORD and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD.
15But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.

3.提摩太前書:3:15 以弗所書:1:1,2:19

15倘若我耽延日久，你也可以知道在神的家中當怎樣行。這家就是永生神的教會，真理的柱石和根基。
15if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God\'s household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.

1奉神旨意，作基督耶穌使徒的保羅，寫信給在以弗所的聖徒，就是在基督耶穌裏有忠心的人。
1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus

19這樣，你們不再作外人，和客旅，是與聖徒同國，是神家裏的人了。
19Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God\'s people and members of God\'s household

二.教會是永恒神的家

責任:
1.受洗成為一員
2.參加教會所有活動
3.奉獻金錢

三.教會生活的根基

路加:1:46-47
46馬利亞說，我心尊主為大，
47我靈以神我的救主為樂。
46And Mary said: My soul glorifies the Lord
47and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior

以弗所書:4:5-6
5一主，一信，一洗，
6一神，就是眾人的父，超乎眾人之上，貫乎眾人之中，也住在眾人之內。
5one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all

四.事奉的原則:
一同追求,一同事奉,一同獻上,一同擔當

以弗所書:4:11-16
11他所賜的有使徒，有先知。有傳福音的。有牧師和教師。
12為要成全聖徒，各盡其職，建立基督的身體。
13直等到我們眾人在真道上同歸於一，認識神的兒子，得以長大成人，滿有基督長成的身量。
14使我們不再作小孩子，中了人的詭計，和欺騙的法術，被一切異教之風搖動，飄來飄去，就隨從各樣的異端。
15惟用愛心說誠實話，凡事長進，連於元首基督。
16全身都靠他聯絡得合式，百節各按各職，照著各體的功用，彼此相助，便叫身體漸漸增長，在愛中建立自己
11It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers,
12to prepare God\'s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up
13until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
14Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.
15Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ.
16From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work

每個人在服事中成長.教會在每個人的成長中成為基督之家.

摩西的事奉:
1.40歲之前不認識神
2.40歲之後在曠野40年
3.在曠野40年之後在教會裏事奉

摩西一生做的最多的是仆在地上向神禱告:
詩篇123篇
1（上行之詩。）坐在天上的主阿，我向你舉目。
2看哪，仆人的眼睛怎樣望主人的手，使女的眼睛怎樣望主母的手，我們的眼睛也照樣望耶和華我們的神，直到他憐憫我們。
3耶和華阿，求你憐憫我們，憐憫我們。因為我們被藐視，已到極處。
4我們被那些安逸人的譏誚，和驕傲人的藐視，已到極處。

五:理想和現實
1.沒有完美的教會
2.沒有完美的人
3.信:根基 望:目標 愛:彼岸

彼此相愛.要服事人為的是最終服事神,而不是做人的頭,是要以基督為頭.
