John 21:15-17 NLT

[15] After breakfast Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” Peter replied, “you know I love you.” “Then feed my lambs,” Jesus told him. [16] Jesus repeated the question: “Simon son of John, do you love me?” “Yes, Lord,” Peter said, “you know I love you.” “Then take care of my sheep,” Jesus said. [17] A third time he asked him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt that Jesus asked the question a third time. He said, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Then feed my sheep.

If you love the shepherd you will love his sheep too!

Hebrews 6:10-12 NLT

[10] For God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard you have worked for him and how you have shown your love to him by caring for other believers, as you still do. [11] Our great desire is that you will keep on loving others as long as life lasts, in order to make certain that what you hope for will come true. [12] Then you will not become spiritually dull and indifferent. Instead, you will follow the example of those who are going to inherit God’s promises because of their faith and endurance.

Matthew 28:19-20 NLT

[19] Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. [20] Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

See the need and lead

Experience the joy of a life changed by Jesus

Philippians 4:1 NLT

[1] Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stay true to the Lord. I love you and long to see you, dear friends, for you are my joy and the crown I receive for my work.

約 翰 福 音 21:15-17 CUV

[15] 他 們 吃 完 了 早 飯 ， 耶 穌 對 西 門 彼 得 說 ： 約 翰 的 兒 子 西 門 ， 你 愛 我 比 這 些 更 深 麼 ？ 彼 得 說 ： 主 阿 ， 是 的 ， 你 知 道 我 愛 你 。 耶 穌 對 他 說 ： 你 餵 養 我 的 小 羊 。 [16] 耶 穌 第 二 次 又 對 他 說 ： 約 翰 的 兒 子 西 門 ， 你 愛 我 麼 ？ 彼 得 說 ： 主 阿 ， 是 的 ， 你 知 道 我 愛 你 。 耶 穌 說 ： 你 牧 養 我 的 羊 。[17] 第 三 次 對 他 說 ： 約 翰 的 兒 子 西 門 ﹐ 你 愛 我 麼 ？ 彼 得 因 為 耶 穌 第 三 次 對 他 說 你 愛 我 麼 ， 就 憂 愁 ， 對 耶 穌 說 ： 主 阿 ， 你 是 無 所 不 知 的 ； 你 知 道 我 愛 你 。 耶 穌 說 ： 你 餵 養 我 的 羊 。

若你愛牧羊人，你便會愛他的羊

希 伯 來 書 6:10-12 CUV

[10] 因 為 神 並 非 不 公 義 ， 竟 忘 記 你 們 所 做 的 工 和 你 們 為 他 名 所 顯 的 愛 心 ， 就 是 先 前 伺 候 聖 徒 ， 如 今 還 是 伺 候 。 [11] 我 們 願 你 們 各 人 都 顯 出 這 樣 的 殷 勤 ， 使 你 們 有 滿 足 的 指 望 ， 一 直 到 底 。 [12] 並 且 不 懈 怠 ， 總 要 效 法 那 些 憑 信 心 和 忍 耐 承 受 應 許 的 人 。

馬 太 福 音 28:19-20 CUV

[19] 所 以 ， 你 們 要 去 ， 使 萬 民 作 我 的 門 徒 ， 奉 父 、 子 、 聖 靈 的 名 給 他 們 施 洗 。 [20] 凡 我 所 吩 咐 你 們 的 ， 都 教 訓 他 們 遵 守 ， 我 就 常 與 你 們 同 在 ， 直 到 世 界 的 末 了 。

看到有需要並去帶領

體驗那因生命被耶穌改變而帶來的喜樂

腓 立 比 書 4:1 CUV

[1] 我 所 親 愛 、 所 想 念 的 弟 兄 們 ， 你 們 就 是 我 的 喜 樂 ， 我 的 冠 冕 。 我 親 愛 的 弟 兄 ， 你 們 應 當 靠 主 站 立 得 穩 。

1 Timothy‬ ‭6:12‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Fight the good fight for the true faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you, which you have declared so well before many witnesses.

Ephesians‬ ‭6:12‬ ‭NLT‬‬ For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

The common battles

1. Battle of selfishness

James‬ ‭4:1-2a‬ ‭NLT‬‬ What is causing the quarrels and fights among you? Don’t they come from the evil desires at war within you? You want what you don’t have, so you scheme and kill to get it. You are jealous of what others have, but you can’t get it, so you fight and wage war to take it away from them.

2. Battle of forgiveness

Hebrews‬ ‭12:15‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Look after each other so that none of you fails to receive the grace of God. Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many.

3. Battle of convenience

Romans‬ ‭7:21-24‬ ‭NLT‬‬ I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. I love God’s law with all my heart. But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death?

Fight with spiritual weapons

2 Corinthians‬ ‭10:3-4‬ ‭NLT‬‬

We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.

1. Get a weapon of faith through the Word of God

Ephesians‬ ‭6:16‬ ‭- 17 NLT‬‬ In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

2. Surround yourself with the right company of people

Ephesians‬ ‭4:16‬ ‭NLT‬‬ He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.

3. Get your power from spirit of God

提摩太前書 6章12節（CUV)

你要為真道打那美好的仗、持定永生．你為此被召．也在許多見證人面前、已經作了那美好的見證。

‭

以弗所書 6章12節（CUV)

因我們並不是與屬血氣的爭戰、乃是與那些執政的、掌權的、管轄這幽暗世界的、以及天空屬靈氣的惡魔爭戰。

一場共同的爭戰

1. 和自私爭戰

雅各書 4章1 -2節（CUV)

你們中間的爭戰鬥毆、是從那裏來的呢．不是從你們百體中戰鬥之私慾來的麼。你們貪戀、還是得不著．你們殺害嫉妒、又鬥毆爭戰、也不能得．你們得不著、是因為你們不求。

2. 和寬恕爭戰

希伯來書 12章15節（NCV) 你們要小心，免得有人失去了　神的恩典；免得有苦根長起來纏繞你們，因而污染了許多人；

3. 和方便爭戰

羅馬書 7章21 -24節（NCV)

因此，我發現了一個律，就是我想向善的時候，惡就在我裡面出現。按著我裡面的人來說，我是喜歡　神的律，但我發覺肢體中另有一個律，和我心中的律爭戰，把我擄去附從肢體中的罪律。我這個人真是苦啊！誰能救我脫離這使我死亡的身體呢？

用屬靈的兵器爭戰

歌林多後書 10章3 -4節（NCV)

我們雖然在世上行事，卻不是按照世俗的方式作戰，因為我們作戰所用的兵器，不是屬於這世界的，而是在　神面前有能力的，可以攻陷堅固的堡壘，

1. 從神的話語中得到信心的兵器

以弗所書 6章16 -17節（NCV) 拿起信心的盾牌，用來撲滅那惡者所有的火箭；並且要戴上救恩的頭盔，拿起聖靈的寶劍，就是　神的道，

2. 和合適的隊員一起

以弗所書 4章16節（NCV) 全身靠著他，藉著每一個關節的支持，照著每部分的功用，配合聯繫起來，使身體漸漸長大，在愛中建立自己。

3. 從神的靈得到力量

約翰一書 4章4節（CUV）小子們哪、你們是屬　神的、並且勝了他們．因為那在你們裏面的、比那在世界上的更大。

James 1:5-8 AMP

[5] If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of the giving God Who gives to everyone liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or faultfinding, and it will be given him. [6] Only it must be in faith that he asks with no wavering (no hesitating, no doubting). For the one who wavers (hesitates, doubts) is like the billowing surge out at sea that is blown hither and thither and tossed by the wind. [7] For truly, let not such a person imagine that he will receive anything he asks for from the Lord, [8] For being as he is a man of two minds (hesitating, dubious, irresolute), he is unstable and unreliable and uncertain about everything he thinks, feels, decides.

The resurrection changes everything

1 Corinthians 15:1-7 MSG

[1-2] Friends, let me go over the Message with you one final time—this Message that I proclaimed and that you made your own; this Message on which you took your stand and by which your life has been saved. (I’m assuming, now, that your belief was the real thing and not a passing fancy, that you’re in this for good and holding fast.) [3-9] The first thing I did was place before you what was placed so emphatically before me: that the Messiah died for our sins, exactly as Scripture tells it; that he was buried; that he was raised from death on the third day, again exactly as Scripture says; that he presented himself alive to Peter, then to his closest followers, and later to more than five hundred of his followers all at the same time, most of them still around (although a few have since died); that he then spent time with James and the rest of those he commissioned to represent him; and that he finally presented himself alive to me.

Mark 3:20-21 NLT

[20] One time Jesus entered a house, and the crowds began to gather again. Soon he and his disciples couldn’t even find time to eat. [21] When his family heard what was happening, they tried to take him away. “He’s out of his mind,” they said.

John 7:5 NLT

[5] For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.

1 Corinthians 1:18 NIV

[18] For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

Ask our generous God

James 1:5 NLT

[5] If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking

2 Corinthians 9:8 NIV

[8] And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

歌林多後書 9章8節 （NCV）

神能把各樣的恩惠多多地加給你們，使你們凡事常常充足，多作各樣的善事。

Romans 8:1 NIV

[1] Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,

Learn the unforced rhythms of grace

Matthew 11:28-30 MSG

[28-30] “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”

雅各書1章5-8節 （CUV)

你們中間若有缺少智慧的、應當求那厚賜與眾人、也不斥責人的　神、主就必賜給他。 只要憑著信心求、一點不疑惑．因為那疑惑的人、就像海中的波浪、被風吹動翻騰。 這樣的人、不要想從主那裏得甚麼。心懷二意的人、在他一切所行的路上、都沒有定見。

復活改變了一切

歌林多前書15章1 -7節 （NCV）

弟兄們，我要把我從前傳給你們的福音向你們講明。這福音你們已經領受了，並且靠著它站立得穩。你們若持守我所傳給你們的道，就必靠這福音得救，不然就是徒然相信了。我從前領受了又傳交給你們那最要緊的，就是基督照著聖經所記的，為我們的罪死了，又埋葬了，又照著聖經所記的，第三天復活了；並且曾經向磯法顯現，然後向十二使徒顯現。以後又有一次向五百多個弟兄顯現。他們中間大多數到現今還在，也有些已經睡了。以後也向雅各顯現，再後又向眾使徒顯現，最後也向我顯現；我好像一個未到產期而生的人。

馬可福音3章20 -21節 （NCV）

耶穌進了屋子，群眾又聚了來，以致他們連飯都不能吃，那些和他在一起的人聽見了，就出來抓住他，因為他們說他癲狂了。

約翰福音 7章5節 （NCV）

原來連他的弟弟也不信他。

歌林多前書1章18節 （NCV）

因為十字架的道理，對走向滅亡的人來說是愚笨的，但對我們這些得救的人，卻是　神的大能。

尋求我們那位慷慨的神

雅各書 1章5節 （NCV）

你們中間若有缺少智慧的、應當求那厚賜與眾人、也不斥責人的　神、主就必賜給他。

歌林多後書 9章8節 （NCV）

神能把各樣的恩惠多多地加給你們，使你們凡事常常充足，多作各樣的善事。

羅馬書 8章1節 （NCV）

所以現在，那些在耶穌基督裡的人就不被定罪了；

學習自由旋律的恩典

馬太福音 11章 28 -30節（NCV）

你們所有勞苦擔重擔的人哪，到我這裡來吧！我必使你們得安息。我心裡柔和謙卑，你們應當負我的軛，向我學習，你們就必得著心靈的安息；我的軛是容易負的，我的擔子是輕省的。”

How to respond to impossible pressure

2 Corinthians 4:7-9 NLT We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves. [8] We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. [9] We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.

Unload onto Jesus

Matthew 11:28 NLT Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will

give you rest.

2 Corinthians 12:8-9 NLT Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. [9] Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.

Know who you are

1 John 3:1 NLT See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! But the people who belong to this world don’t recognize that we are God’s children because they don’t know him.

Know what God says about your future

Jeremiah 29:11 NLT [11] For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

Psalm 119:143 NLT As pressure and stress bear down on me, I find joy in your commands.

Philippians 3:13-14 NLT

[13] No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, [14] I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.

如何面對壓力

哥林多後書 4:7-9 CNV「我們有這寶貝在瓦器裡，是要顯明這極大的能力是屬於神，不是出於我們。[8] 我們雖然四面受壓，卻沒有壓碎；心裡作難，卻不至絕望，[9] 受到迫害，卻沒有被丟棄；打倒了，卻不至死亡。」交給耶穌

馬太福音 11:28 CNV「你們所有勞苦擔重擔的人哪，到我這裡來吧！我必使你們得安息。」

哥林多後書 12:8-9 CN 為了這事，我曾經三次求主，使這根刺離開我。 [9] 他卻對我說：「我的恩典是夠你用的，因為我的能力在人的軟弱上顯得完全。」所以，我更喜歡誇自己的軟弱，好讓基督的能力臨到我的身上。認識自己

約翰壹書 3:1 CNV 你們看，父賜給我們的是怎樣的愛，就是讓我們可以稱為　神的兒女，我們 也真是他的兒女。因此，世人不認識我們，是因為他們不認識父。

認識神對你訴說的未來

耶利米書 29:11 CN 因我自己知道我為你們所定的計劃，是使你們得平安，而不是遭受災禍的計劃；要賜給你們美好的前程和盼望。’這是耶和華的宣告。

我遭遇患難和困苦， 但你的命令仍是我歡喜的。

弟兄們，我不以為自己已經得著了，我只有一件事，就是忘記背後，努力前面的事， 向著目標竭力追求，為要得著神在基督耶穌裡召我往上去得的獎賞。

Matthew‬ ‭8:5-10, 13‬ ‭NLT‬‬

When Jesus returned to Capernaum, a Roman officer came and pleaded with him, “Lord, my young servant lies in bed, paralyzed and in terrible pain.” Jesus said, “I will come and heal him.” But the officer said, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come into my home. Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed. I know this because I am under the authority of my superior officers, and I have authority over my soldiers. I only need to say, ‘Go,’ and they go, or ‘Come,’ and they come. And if I say to my slaves, ‘Do this,’ they do it.” When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. Turning to those who were following him, he said, “I tell you the truth, I haven’t seen faith like this in all Israel!

Then Jesus said to the Roman officer, “Go back home. Because you believed, it has happened.” And the young servant was healed that same hour.”

Our faith can be assured because:

1. Jesus is the one and only

Matthew‬ ‭8:6-7‬ ‭NLT‬‬ “Lord, my young servant lies in bed, paralyzed and in terrible pain.” Jesus said, “I will come and heal him.”

Jeremiah‬ ‭17:7‬ ‭NLT‬‬ “But blessed are those who trust in the LORD and have made the LORD their hope and confidence.”

2. This is the right way

Hebrews‬ ‭11:6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.”

‭‭

Matthew‬ ‭9:28-29‬ ‭NLT‬‬

They went right into the house where he was staying, and Jesus asked them, “Do you believe I can make you see?” “Yes, Lord,” they told him, “we do.” Then he touched their eyes and said, “Because of your faith, it will happen.”

‭‭

3. Your prayers will be answered

Matthew‬ ‭8:10, 13‬ ‭NLT “When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. Turning to those who were following him, he said, “I tell you the truth, I haven’t seen faith like this in all Israel!

Then Jesus said to the Roman officer, “Go back home. Because you believed, it has happened.” And the young servant was healed that same hour.”

Matthew‬ ‭21:22‬ ‭NLT‬‬ You can pray for anything, and if you have faith, you will receive it.

馬太福音 8章5 -10，13節 (NCV)

5 耶穌到了迦百農，有一個百夫長前來懇求他，

6 說：“主啊！我的僕人癱瘓了，躺在家裡非常痛苦。”

7 耶穌對他說：“我去醫治他。”

8 百夫長回答：“主啊，要你到舍下來，實在不敢當。只要你說一句話，我的僕人就必好了。

9 我自己是在別人的權下，也有兵在我以下；我對這個說‘去！’他就去，對另一個說‘來！’他就來；對僕人說‘作這個！’他就作。”

10 耶穌聽了，就很驚奇，對跟隨的人說：“我實在告訴你們，這樣的信心，我在以色列中從來沒有見過。

13 於是耶穌對百夫長說：“回去吧！事情必照你所信的給你成就。”他的僕人就在那時痊愈了。

Matthew‬ ‭8:5-10, 13‬ ‭NLT‬‬

When Jesus returned to Capernaum, a Roman officer came and pleaded with him, “Lord, my young servant lies in bed, paralyzed and in terrible pain.” Jesus said, “I will come and heal him.” But the officer said, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come into my home. Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed. I know this because I am under the authority of my superior officers, and I have authority over my soldiers. I only need to say, ‘Go,’ and they go, or ‘Come,’ and they come. And if I say to my slaves, ‘Do this,’ they do it.” When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. Turning to those who were following him, he said, “I tell you the truth, I haven’t seen faith like this in all Israel!

Then Jesus said to the Roman officer, “Go back home. Because you believed, it has happened.” And the young servant was healed that same hour.”

信心有保證因為

Our faith can be assured because:

1. 這是正確的對象

Jesus is the one and only

馬太福音 8章6 -7節 (NCV)

6 說：“主啊！我的僕人癱瘓了，躺在家裡非常痛苦。”

7 耶穌對他說：“我去醫治他。”

Matthew‬ ‭8:6-7‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“Lord, my young servant lies in bed, paralyzed and in terrible pain.” Jesus said, “I will come and heal him.”

耶利米書17章7節 (NCV)

但倚靠耶和華，以耶和華為他所信賴的，這人是有福的。

Luke 9:12-14a NKJV

[12] When the day began to wear away, the twelve came and said to Him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding towns and country, and lodge and get provisions; for we are in a deserted place here.” [13] But He said to them, “You give them something to eat.” And they said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we go and buy food for all these people.” [14] For there were about five thousand men.

Luke 9:14-17 NKJV For there were about five thousand men. Then He said to His disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of fifty.” [15] And they did so, and made them all sit down. [16] Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude. [17] So they all ate and were filled, and twelve baskets of the leftover fragments were taken up by them.

Luke 9:13a NKJV But He said to them, “You give them something to eat.”

Luke 9:16b NKJV He blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.

1 – It has to be blessed before it can multiply

2 – It had to be given away before it can multiply

“天將晚的時候，十二門徒來到他跟前，說：“請解散眾人，好讓他們往周圍的田舍村莊，去找地方住，找東西吃，因為我們這裡是曠野。” 他說：“你們給他們吃吧！”他們說：“我們所有的，不過是五個餅兩條魚，除非去為這些人另買食物。” 原來男人就約有五千。

‭‭路加福音‬ ‭9:12-14a CNV‬‬

“原來男人就約有五千。他對門徒說：“叫他們一組一組地坐下，每組約五十人。” 門徒就照他的話，叫眾人坐下。 耶穌拿起這五個餅，兩條魚，望著天，祝謝了，擘開遞給門徒，擺在眾人面前。 他們都吃飽了，把剩下的零碎拾起來，裝滿了十二個籃子。”

Luke 16:9-13 NKJV ”And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by unrighteous mammon, that when you fail, they may receive you into an everlasting home. [10] He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much. [11] Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? [12] And if you have not been faithful in what is another man’s, who will give you what is your own? [13] “No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”

1 Timothy 6:10 NKJV For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

True Riches

Luke 16:9 NKJV ”And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by unrighteous mammon, that when you fail, they may receive you into an everlasting home.

John 12:1-6 NKJV Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead. [2] There they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him. [3] Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil. [4] But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who would betray Him, said, [5] “Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” [6] This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it.

1. The enemy of generosity

2. The extravagance of generosity

3 levels of giving

Tithes

Offerings

Extravagant offerings

3. The reward of generosity

Mark 14:9 NKJV

[9] Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.”

Hebrews 11:6 NKJV

[6] But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

路加福音 16:9-13 CNV

[9]「我告訴你們，要用不義的錢財 去結交朋友，好叫錢財無用的時候，他們可以接你們到永恆的帳棚裡。[10] 在最小的事上忠心的，在大事上也忠心；在最小的事上不義的，在大事上也不義。 [11] 如果你們在不義的錢財上不忠心，誰還把真實的錢財託付給你們呢？ [12] 如果你們在別人的東西上不忠心，誰還把你們自己的東西交給你們呢？ [13] 「一個家僕不能服事兩個主人；他若不是恨這個愛那個，就是忠於這個輕視那個。你們不能服事神，又服事金錢。」

提摩太前書 6:10 CNV「因為貪財是萬惡之根。有人貪愛錢財，就被引誘離開真道，用許多痛苦把自己刺透了。」

真。財富

約翰福音 12:1-6 CNV「逾越節前六天，耶穌到了伯大尼，就是拉撒路所住的地方；耶穌曾經使這拉撒路從死人中復活。[2] 有人在那裡為耶穌預備了筵席。馬大在那裡侍候，拉撒路也和一些人與耶穌一同吃飯。[3] 馬利亞拿了半公斤珍貴純正的哪噠香膏，抹耶穌的腳，又用自己的頭髮去擦；屋裡就滿了香膏的香氣。[4] 耶穌的一個門徒，就是那要出賣他的加略人猶大說： [5] 「為甚麼不把這香膏賣三百銀幣，賙濟窮人呢？」 [6] 他說這話，並不是因為他關懷窮人，而是因為他是個賊，又帶著錢囊，常取其中所存的。」

Heart for the House – Week 2

Malachi 3:6-7 NKJV[6] “For I am the LORD, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob. [7]Yet from the days of your fathers You have gone away from My ordinances And have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you,” Says the LORD of hosts. “But you said, ‘In what way shall we return?’

Malachi 3:8-12 NKJV [8] “Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you say, ‘In what way have we robbed You?’ In tithes and offerings. [9] You are cursed with a curse, For you have robbed Me, Even this whole nation. [10] Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this,” Says the LORD of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it. [11] “And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,” Says the LORD of hosts; [12] “And all nations will call you blessed, For you will be a delightful land,” Says the LORD of hosts.

Tithing is a test

Malachi 3:10 NLT [10] Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test!

Tithing is biblical

Matthew 23:23 NKJV [23] “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.

Hebrews 7:8 NKJV [8] Here mortal men receive tithes, but there he receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives.

Tithing puts God first

Proverbs 3:9-10 NKJV [9] Honor the LORD with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase; [10] So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine.

Exodus 23:19 NKJV [19] The first of the firstfruits of your land you shall bring into the house of the LORD your God.

Genesis 4:3-5a NKJV [3] And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the LORD. [4] Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the LORD respected Abel and his offering, [5] but He did not respect Cain and his offering.

Tithing brings blessing

2 Chronicles 31:4 NKJV [4] Moreover he commanded the people who dwelt in Jerusalem to contribute support for the priests and the Levites, that they might devote themselves to the Law of the LORD.

2 Chronicles 31:5-10 NKJV [5] As soon as the commandment was circulated, the children of Israel brought in abundance the firstfruits of grain and wine, oil and honey, and of all the produce of the field; and they brought in abundantly the tithe of everything. [6] And the children of Israel and Judah, who dwelt in the cities of Judah, brought the tithe of oxen and sheep; also the tithe of holy things which were consecrated to the LORD their God they laid in heaps. [7] In the third month they began laying them in heaps, and they finished in the seventh month. [8] And when Hezekiah and the leaders came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD and His people Israel. [9] Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps. [10] And Azariah the chief priest, from the house of Zadok, answered him and said, “Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat and have plenty left, for the LORD has blessed His people; and what is left is this great abundance.”
