M.I.T.
耶穌呼召門徒來訓練他們成為「得人如的魚一樣」。本週,張國強牧師提醒我們,每一個信徒都是宣教士,我們要全心全意接受訓練,才能有效地完成我們的使命。
Jesus called His disciples and trained them to be “fishers of men.” This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung reminds us that every believer is a missionary in training (M.I.T.). Let us wholeheartedly seek to learn how we can more effectively fulfill our mission.

Life Group Discussion Guide
1. Start with a prayer
2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)
• Share a time you witnessed someone make a sacrifice so that others may receive the blessing of the Good News.
3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)
• Read the passage. What does the paradigm shift from being fishermen to fishers of men teach us about valuing souls over material gain?
• What sacrifices did the disciples make to follow Jesus, and how does this reflect the cost of sharing and living out the Gospel?
4. Engage the heart (15-20 mins)
• How has your perspective on your work or vocation shifted since you began following Christ? Do you see it as a mission field? Why or why not?
• Are you prepared spiritually and professionally to be a missionary in the field God has placed you? What encourages and hinders you from doing so?
5. Engage the hands (15-20 mins)
• What steps can you take this week to improve your spiritual and professional knowledge to serve effectively in your mission field?
• How can you prioritize sharing and living out the Good News of Jesus within your current vocation or interactions?
6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)
• Praise the Heavenly Father for calling us to be part of His mission to bring the Good News to others. Thank Him for equipping us with spiritual gifts to serve in our respective fields. Rejoice that His Gospel gives life and transforms us to be His instruments of hope and salvation.
• Ask for forgiveness for the times you have prioritized your own security, comfort, or worldly pursuits over His calling. Repent for failing to see your work and relationships as mission fields where God’s name should be glorified. Pray that you may shift your focus from earthly gain to eternal impact and that you may trust God completely in every decision you make.
