三大屬靈的陷阱 Three Major Spiritual Traps
當基督徒堅持不公平的傳統而非分享神的恩典時，他們往往會排斥他人。本週日，張國強牧師將揭示信徒常陷入的三大屬靈陷阱，並解釋為何我們應當避開它們。
When Christians prioritize unfair traditions over sharing God’s grace, they often exclude other believers. This Sunday, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung highlights the three major spiritual traps that ensnare believers and explains why we should avoid them.

Life Group Discussion Guide
1. Start with a prayer
2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)
• Share a family tradition, religious practice/saying, or “rule” you used to follow that you later realized wasn’t necessarily biblical.
3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)
• Read the passage. How did the Pharisees fall into the trap of hypocrisy? Why was Jesus so firm in His rebuke?
• What is the significance of Jesus pointing out the Corban tradition? What does this show about their priorities?
4. Engage the heart (15-20 mins)
• In what ways are you tempted to look good on the outside while struggling inwardly with sin or impure motives?
• What hidden thoughts, attitudes, or desires have been surfacing lately that you know need to be surrendered to Christ?
5. Engage the hands (15-20 mins)
• How can you be more honest with God and others about your spiritual struggles so that you don’t fall into hypocrisy? What practical step can you take to guard your heart and mind against evil thoughts and deception?
• What is one area where you can re-align your priorities with God’s commands this week?
6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)
• Praise the Heavenly Father for being the God who looks not at outward appearances but at the heart. Thank Him for the mercy He shows even when we fall into traps of hypocrisy, tradition, and deception. Celebrate His love that purifies us from the inside out through Christ Jesus, who has fulfilled the Law and called us into a life of sincere love, humility, and truth.
• Repent for the times you have pretended to be close to God while your heart was far from Him. Ask forgiveness for allowing traditions or outward performance to take the place of loving obedience to God’s commands. Pray that God would reveal any hidden pride, evil thoughts, or misplaced priorities, and ask the Holy Spirit to renew your mind and cleanse your heart.
