不能遺忘的日子 Days Not to Be Forgotten
在我們一生裡有些日子是不能遺忘的, 好像結婚記念的日子, 或那日曾發生重要的事, 我們是不會忘記的。以斯帖與末底改寫了二封信, 囑咐猶大人每年都要守普珥日, 因為這是不能被遺忘的日子, 這是神得勝的日子, 這是除惡的日子, 這是公義彰顯的日子, 這也是與人分享恩典的日子。
Esther and Mordecai wrote two letters, instructing the people of Judah to observe Purim every year to commemorate the day God gave them victory. This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung reminds us that we should remember the days when God has provided for us by sharing His grace with others.

Life Group Discussion Guide
1. Start with a prayer
2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)
– What do you consider as an enemy in your life? Who or what are the enemies you have encountered? (Note to leaders: this can be a certain person, situation, or one’s own heart.)
3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)
– Read the passage. How did the Jews gain victory?
– In what way does this passage challenge you personally? (Note to leaders: These can be (1) theological understanding of God’s sovereignty, (2) realness of God’s victory in their personal lives, (3) responding in rejoicing and sharing the blessings they have received, etc.)
4. Engage the heart (15-20 mins)
– What does it mean for you that God is victorious?
– How have you experienced God’s victory in the past few weeks?
– How are you responding to God’s victory in your life?
– What is the Holy Spirit informing you as you reflect on God’s victory at the Cross?
5. Engage the hands (15-20 mins)
– What should change in your heart? How are you going to respond to the Holy Spirit?
6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)
– Praise God that He has won the victory through the Cross and we are now free from bondage of sin and enemy.
– Pray for a heart that seeks to obey and honor God, to fully embrace and be joyful of our freedom, and to turn away from our sins.
– Pray for the openness of our heart to continually reflect on the Cross and the abundance of His grace that we may wholeheartedly rejoice and share His blessings with others.
