為什麼我們回應神的時候,總覺得好像是個犧牲或損失?好像一定要看見神在我們生命中很戲劇化的作為,我們才願意去服事祂;我們也很容易以為,只有那些「特別呼召」的人,才能夠服事神。 但其實我們服事神、傳福音,本來就是非常平常的事。我們這樣做,因為耶穌也這樣做,耶穌也透過四福音書差遣我們傳福音給萬民!「福音」是有方向性,「福音」讓我們不只是領受祝福,也會讓我們想要去祝福人;「福音」使我們不會被動地等待神的帶領,反而我們會非常主動地想要跟隨祂。「福音」讓我們很難想像只為自己而活的人生,我們只會想要為祂活每一天! 透過這次講道,讓「福音」不會只停留在,我們在神面前找到盼望;「福音」會使我們成為別人的盼望,陪伴人一起找到盼望! -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
