合神心意的父親 A Father after God’s Heart

現今的社會是一個家庭分裂的社會，家庭的問題是越來越嚴重，連信主的家庭也是一樣，其中作父親的難辭其咎，但作父親也實在缺乏美好的榜樣去學習，願我們從聖父與聖子之間的互動來學習作一個合神心意的父親罷。

In today’s society, problems are plentiful and serious, even for Christian families. This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung holds fathers responsible, and encourages us to learn from the interaction between God the Father and God the Son so we can be fathers after God’s heart.

Read Today’s Scripture Passage

馬太福音 Matthew 3:13-17, 以弗所書 Ephesians 6:4
