Finding purpose in all seasons 找出每個人生季節的目標和意義

To everything there is a season, and a time for every matter or purpose under heaven: (Ecclesiastes 3:1 AMP)

傳道書 3:1

1 萬事都有定期，天下萬務都有定時：

1. Every new season has its own challenges – God has equipped you!

每個新季節都有它自己的挑戰 - 神已經裝備了你！

If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. (James 1:5 NLT)

雅各書 1:5

5 你們中間若有人缺少智慧，就當向那厚賜眾人，而且不斥責人的　神祈求，他就必得著。

2. Make the most of the season you are in

充分善用你身處的季節

So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up. (Galatians 6:9 NLT)

加拉太書6:9

9 我們行善，不要覺得厭煩；如果不鬆懈，到了適當的時候，就有收成。

3. Jesus brings us hope in all seasons of life

在生命的每個季節, 耶穌都帶給我們希望

We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love. When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:3-8 NLT)

羅馬書 5:3-8

3 不但這樣，我們更以患難為榮；知道患難產生忍耐， 4 忍耐產生毅力，毅力產生盼望； 5 盼望是不會令人蒙羞的，因為　神藉著所賜給我們的聖靈，把他的愛澆灌在我們的心裡。 6 當我們還軟弱的時候，基督就照所定的日期，為不敬虔的人死了。 7 為義人死，是少有的；為好人死，或有敢作的； 8 唯有基督在我們還作罪人的時候為我們死，　神對我們的愛就在此顯明了。

Life Group questions and prayer: 生命小組討論問題及禱告:

1. What season of life are you going through right now? 你正在經歷人生哪個季節？

2. What will you do differently to make the most of the season you are in? 你會做什麼去善用你身處的季節？

3. Let’s pray about it! 讓我們禱告!

Jesus is the Lamb of God

John 1:29 NLT[29] The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

Sheep + Me = Righteousness

1 – We have joy because we are 100% righteous

Genesis 3:21 NLT And the LORD God made clothing from animal skins for Adam and his wife.

Clothes + Knife = First

Isaiah 1:18 NLT

“Come now, let’s settle this,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool.

2 – We have joy because we are saved

Isaiah 61:10a NLT

[10] I am overwhelmed with joy in the LORD my God! For he has dressed me with the clothing of salvation and draped me in a robe of righteousness.

Psalm 30: 1, 11 NLT

[1] I will exalt you, LORD, for you rescued me. You refused to let my enemies triumph over me. [11] You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy

3 – We have joy because God is with us

Psalm 16:11 NLT

You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.

Galatians 3:26-27 NLT

For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes.

Discussion Questions:

Why our good deeds cannot make us become 100% righteous?

How can we be joyful?

Are you righteous through faith in Jesus? If so, what should our response be? If not, would you like to be?

羔羊在我之上

Lamb over me

2014 是馬年

The year of the horse

Romans 3:20 NLT

[20] For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are.

Isaiah 64:6 NLT

[6] We are all infected and impure with sin. When we display our righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags. Like autumn leaves, we wither and fall, and our sins sweep us away like the wind.

我

Me

手 + 戈 = 我

Hand + Spear = Me

2015是羊年

The year of the sheep

John 1:29 NLT

[29] The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

羊

Sheep

Romans 3:21-22 NLT

[21] But now God has shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago. [22] We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.

我 + 羊 = 義

Me + Sheep = Righteousness

义

Righteousness

1 – I am 100% righteous. Always righteous.

Isaiah 61:10a NLT

[10] I am overwhelmed with joy in the LORD my God! For he has dressed me with the clothing of salvation and draped me in a robe of righteousness.

Romans 3:27-28 NLT

[27] Can we boast, then, that we have done anything to be accepted by God? No, because our acquittal is not based on obeying the law. It is based on faith. [28] So we are made right with God through faith and not by obeying the law.

2 – I can live guilt free. No condemnation.

Romans 8:1 　NLT

So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.

3 – I am ready to do something great for Jesus

Ephesians 2:10 AMP

[10] For we are God’s own handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, born anew that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us taking paths which He prepared ahead of time, that we should walk in them living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live.

Life Group Questions and Prayer:

1 – Why are our good deeds, never going to be good enough?

2 – How do we become righteous?

3 – Are you righteous through faith in Jesus? If so, what should our response be? If not, would you like to be?

1 – Church holds the power to heal and restore (his name is Jesus!)

1 Peter 2:24 NLT

[24] He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed.

Matthew 7:7-8,11 NIV

[7] “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. [8] For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. [11] If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!

2 – Church is a family to belong to

Acts 2:43-47 NLT

[43] A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders. [44] And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. [45] They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. [46] They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity- [47] all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.

3 – Church has a calling and a destiny for all of us

Romans 1:6-7 NLT

[6] And you are included among those Gentiles who have been called to belong to Jesus Christ. [7] I am writing to all of you in Rome who are loved by God and are called to be his own holy people. May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.

Psalm 92:13 NIV

[13] planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God.

Matthew 16:18 NLT

[18] Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock’), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.

Life Group Questions and Prayer

1 – How can being planted in a church bless us?

2 – Why should we never give up praying for healing?

3 – How can we be a part of building the church?

Acts 1:8 NLT But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere-in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

How much does this cost?

John 16:5-7 NLT “But now I am going away to the one who sent me, and not one of you is asking where I am going. [6] Instead, you grieve because of what I’ve told you. [7] But in fact, it is best for you that I go away, because if I don’t, the Advocate won’t come. If I do go away, then I will send him to you.

How can I get it?

Galatians 3:2 NLT Let me ask you this one question: Did you receive the Holy Spirit by obeying the law of Moses? Of course not! You received the Spirit because you believed the message you heard about Christ.

Revelation 3:5 NLT All who are victorious will be clothed in white. I will never erase their names from the Book of Life, but I will announce before my Father and his angels that they are mine.

Get the real thing.

Ephesians 5:18 NLT Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit,

Life Group Questions and Prayer

1 – Why do we need to be plugged in?

2 – How do we get charged regularly?

3 – Are you plugged into relationship with Jesus?

Matt 28:18-20

18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Genesis 12:1-3

1 The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.

2 “I will make you into a great nation,and I will bless youI will make your name great,and you will be a blessing.

3 I will bless those who bless you,and whoever curses you I will curse;and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you

Matthew 16: 17

Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven

Marry the land

Isaiah 62: 4 No longer will they call you Deserted, or name your land Desolate.

But you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the Lord will take delight in you, and your land will be married

Marry the people

Genesis 2:22-24

Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman, ‘ for she was taken out of man.” For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh

Lift the land and the people up to the Father

Deuteronomy 30:19 NLT “Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!

1. Don’t let anyone else choose for you

Acts 4:18-20 NLT So they called the apostles back in and commanded them never again to speak or teach in the name of Jesus. [19] But Peter and John replied, “Do you think God wants us to obey you rather than him? [20] We cannot stop telling about everything we have seen and heard.”

2. Don’t just copy the choices of others

Romans 12:2 NLT Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

Matthew 7:13-14 NIV “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. [14] But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

3. Choosing life means choosing Jesus

John 14:6 NLT Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.

Luke 5:1-11 (NLT)

One day as Jesus was preaching on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, great crowds pressed in on him to listen to the word of God. 2 He noticed two empty boats at the water’s edge, for the fishermen had left them and were washing their nets. 3 Stepping into one of the boats, Jesus asked Simon,[b] its owner, to push it out into the water. So he sat in the boat and taught the crowds from there. 4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Now go out where it is deeper, and let down your nets to catch some fish.” 5 “Master,” Simon replied, “we worked hard all last night and didn’t catch a thing. But if you say so, I’ll let the nets down again.” 6 And this time their nets were so full of fish they began to tear! 7 A shout for help brought their partners in the other boat, and soon both boats were filled with fish and on the verge of sinking.

8 When Simon Peter realized what had happened, he fell to his knees before Jesus and said, “Oh, Lord, please leave me—I’m too much of a sinner to be around you.” 9 For he was awestruck by the number of fish they had caught, as were the others with him. 10 His partners, James and John, the sons of Zebedee, were also amazed.

Jesus replied to Simon, “Don’t be afraid! From now on you’ll be fishing for people!” 11 And as soon as they landed, they left everything and followed Jesus.

3 Things You Need To Do This New Year:

1. Get a vision and believe in it

Luke 5:10-11 (NLT)

10 His partners, James and John, the sons of Zebedee, were also amazed.

Jesus replied to Simon, “Don’t be afraid! From now on you’ll be fishing for people!” 11 And as soon as they landed, they left everything and followed Jesus.

Mark 11:24 (NLT)

24 I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours.

2. Do the best you can and God will do the rest

Luke 5:5-6 (NLT)

5 “Master,” Simon replied, “we worked hard all last night and didn’t catch a thing. But if you say so, I’ll let the nets down again.” 6 And this time their nets were so full of fish they began to tear!

3. Share with others in your world

Acts 2:40-41 (NLT)

40 Then Peter continued preaching for a long time, strongly urging all his listeners, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!”

41 Those who believed what Peter said were baptized and added to the church that day—about 3,000 in all.

1 Corinthians 2:9 (NLT)

9 That is what the Scriptures mean when they say,

“No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.”

Lifegroup question prayer:

1. Do you have a vision from God this year?

2. Do you think you doing your best in Life?

3. Let’s pray for a vision to share with those around us!
