(19 OCTOBER 2023)2023년 CRW ‘섬김과 친밀함이 넘치는 예배 Humble and Intimate Worship’This Thursday, I am preaching from the Apostle Paul's letter to the church in Philippi. In his letter, especially towards the last chapter, Chapter 4, he urged and encouraged Christians to stand firmly on Jesus Christ.I believe that the unceasing persecution, threats, imprisonment, and death among Christians were rapidly increasing. Even Paul, who was himself in prison when he sent this letter to his fellow Christians, wrote to them, encouraging them to anchor their lives and faith in Jesus Christ alone, even if it meant death for many of them. Indeed, many early church Christians endured these series of trials and persecutions. The Bible reading mentions a few names of those who persevered for Jesus by praying, loving, and caring for each other.We, Cross River Worshippers, are also called to stand firm on Jesus, love one another, and spread the good news about Jesus Christ in our neighbourhood. So let us hear what God has to say to us through the Apostle Paul's letter to the church in Philippi on this Thursday.목요일 저녁 7:30에 만나 함께 예배드려요.CRW10월과 11월 성경 말씀 (설교: 김동원 목사)10월 19일: Matthew 22:1~14; Exodus 32:1~14; Philippians 4:1~910월 26일: 브리즈번 한인교회 연합집회 (24/10~26/10, 저녁 7시)11월 2일: Matthew 22:15~22; Exodus 33:12~23; 1 Thessalonians 1:1~1011월 9일: Matthew 22:34~46; Deuteronomy 34:1~12; 1 Thessalonians 2:1~8——믿음을 보여주는 이름 (빌립보서 4:1~9) Your Name Has Your Faith (Philippians 4:1~9)1 그러므로 나의 사랑하고 사모하는 형제들, 나의 기쁨이요 면류관인 사랑하는 자들아 이와 같이 주 안에 서라.Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, dear friends! 2 내가 유오디아를 권하고 순두게를 권하노니 주 안에서 같은 마음을 품으라. 3 또 참으로 나와 멍에를 같이한 네게 구하노니 복음에 나와 함께 힘쓰던 저 여인들을 돕고 또한 글레멘드와 그 외에 나의 동역자들을 도우라 그 이름들이 생명책에 있느니라.I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord. Yes, and I ask you, my true companion, help these women since they have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are in the book of life.4 주 안에서 항상 기뻐하라 내가 다시 말하노니 기뻐하라. 5 너희 관용을 모든 사람에게 알게 하라 주께서 가까우시니라.Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 아무 것도 염려하지 말고 다만 모든 일에 기도와 간구로, 너희 구할 것을 감사함으로 하나님께 아뢰라. 7 그리하면 모든 지각에 뛰어난 하나님의 평강이 그리스도 예수 안에서 너희 마음과 생각을 지키시리라.Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.8 끝으로 형제들아 무엇에든지 참되며 무엇에든지 경건하며 무엇에든지 옳으며 무엇에든지 정결하며 무엇에든지 사랑 받을 만하며 무엇에든지 칭찬 받을 만하며 무슨 덕이 있든지 무슨 기림이 있든지 이것들을 생각하라.Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things. 9 너희는 내게 배우고 받고 듣고 본 바를 행하라 그리하면 평강의 하나님이 너희와 함께 계시리라.Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me - put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
