*The Wonder of Worship*
敬拜的奇妙
God is seeking Worshippers
神在尋找敬拜者
(John 4:23-24) Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. (24) God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
約翰福音4章23-24節
時候將到、如今就是了、那真正拜父的、要用心靈和誠實拜他、因為父要這樣的人拜他。神是個靈.所以拜他的、必須用心靈和誠實拜他。

Worship in the desert
在曠野中敬拜
(Exodus 3:3-6) So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.” (4) When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!” And Moses said, “Here I am.” (5)“Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” (6) Then he said, “I am the God of your father, Masoretic Text; Samaritan Pentateuch fathers the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.” At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.
出埃及記3章3-6節
摩西說、我要過去看這大異象、這荊棘為何沒有燒壞呢。耶和華 神見他過去要看、就從荊棘裡呼叫說、摩西、摩西.他說、我在這裡。 神說、不要近前來、當把你腳上的鞋脫下來、因為你所站之地是聖地. 又說、我是你父親的 神、是亞伯拉罕的 神、以撒的 神、雅各的 神。摩西蒙上臉、因為怕看 神。
Worship in the prison
在監獄中敬拜
(Act 16:25-26) About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. (26) Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose.
使徒行傳16章25-26節
約在半夜、保羅和西拉、禱告唱詩讚美 神.眾囚犯也側耳而聽。
忽然地大震動、甚至監牢的地基都搖動了.監門立刻全開、眾囚犯的鎖鍊也都鬆開了。
