安靜
1.  停下來. 靜一靜
2.  等候主. 深呼吸經歷主之平安. 主的臨在, 呼出你的憂慮

讚美及感恩
1.  思想你最近使你開心歡笑的時刻
2.  為那些時刻及有關的人感恩
3.  敞開心懷讚美主


耶 和 華 作 王 ; 萬 民 當 戰 抖 ! 他 坐 在 二 基 路 伯 上 , 地 當 動 搖 。
                  詩篇 99:1  

認罪悔改  
1.  求聖靈在你生命中工作
      "親愛的聖靈, 求你光照我心靈的深處, 使我看見我的罪, 我和主耶穌的阻隔,
        求主幫助, 奉主耶穌基督名求。阿們。"

2. 透過聖靈的工作, 安靜一刻, 省察自己, 之後祈禱:
     「親愛的主耶穌,感謝你為我的罪釘死在十字架上,我願意在你面前承認我的罪(凡聖靈光照到的,請逐一說出),求你用你的寶血赦免我的罪,我願意打開心門讓你作我的救主,求你救贖我,我願意一生跟隨你讓你作我生命的主,求你帶領我。聖靈,求你充滿我,使我得著恩賜及力量去事奉主、見證主。奉主耶穌基督名求,阿們。」


聆聽主話 (申命記 16:1-17)



16 你 一 切 的 男 丁 要 在 除 酵 節 、 七 七 節 、 住 棚 節 , 一 年 三 次 , 在 耶 和 華 ─ 你 神 所 選 擇 的 地 方 朝 見 他 , 卻 不 可 空 手 朝 見 。
17 各 人 要 按 自 己 的 力 量 , 照 耶 和 華 ─ 你 神 所 賜 的 福 分 , 奉 獻 禮 物 。
                                      申命記 16:16-17


現在讓你有一段安靜的時間, 給聖靈一個空間, 讓主耶穌可能以藉着你剛才讀過的經文, 對你說話:

我的聆聽
     Why does God command the Israelites to go to their main sanctuary to celebrate the three major festivals?

讓我們聽聽 John Goldingay 教授的教導: 
     Deuteronomy expects Israel to destroy all those local sanctuaries and thus to celebrate Passover at the central sanctuary, and 2 Kings 23:21-23 refers to the celebration in King Josiah's day as the first of this kind in the entire period of the monarchy…
     The context in Josiah's story helps explicate the logic of centralizing the observance of Passover and other sacrifices. For decades before Josiah's day, worship in Jerusalem and in the local sanctuaries had been influenced by the way Baal was worshiped, and/or it explicitly involved the worship of Baal. In light of the discovery of a "covenant scroll" in the temple, Josiah made it his business to desecrate the local sanctuaries and thus attempt to stop worship there once and for all, and also to clean up the worship in the temple itself. The parallels between what he did and what Deuteronomy enjoins make it plausible that the covenant scroll was Deuteronomy, or something like it. Centralizing festivals and sacrifices in Jerusalem would make it possible to ensure they were celebrated and offered in a way that truly honoured God.

      So, Professor Goldingay gives us the historical context of this passage. But, how can this passage to do with us?
      I think it is very simple. How many times in a year that your church can join other churches to worship God together in your own denomination/diocese/network? For us, Anglican Mission in Canada we have two, in May we have National Leadership Conference at Richmond Emmanuel Church, Richmond and in October we have National Summit at Jericho Road, Port Alberni. So, for us, it means that we need to join that two major festivals to worship God together and be with each others. Please click this link to learn about our coming National Summit, September 30 to October 3 http://www.theamcanada.ca/node/96.

Our key note speaker of this coming National Summit will be Archbishop Yong Ping Chung and his wife Julia Yong. 

If you are member of AM-Canada, are you willing to join us in this two annual events? If you are member of other denominations/churches, are you willing to join your denomination's major events to worship God together? 
       
親愛的主耶穌,
Help us to be willing to join other churches to worship you in major festivals. 奉主耶穌基督名求, 阿們。

省察問題
1. Do you understand more about the historical context of today's passage now?

2. Are you willing to join other churches to worship God in your major festivals?

感恩讚美
讓我們為神同在感恩讚美主:
