全家之寶 The Family Treasure

詩篇作者視上帝為他最珍視的產業,其價值遠勝於物質財富。本週日,張國強牧師鼓勵我們反思,究竟哪些真正有價值的事物,是我們希望作為「真正的家庭珍寶」傳承給家人的。
The Psalmist treasured God above all else, valuing Him far beyond material wealth. This Sunday, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung invites us to reflect on what truly matters. What “true family treasures” do we wish to pass on to our families?

Life Group Discussion Guide
1. Start with a prayer
2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)
- Growing up, what was something your family considered a treasure or something worth protecting? Why was it important to your family?
3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)
- Read the psalm. What does it mean that God is your only Lord, your greatest portion, and the guide of your life?
- What are the results of trusting in God both in this life and in eternity?
4. Examine the heart (15-20 mins)
- Can you honestly say that God is your greatest treasure and portion? Why or why not? What idols (e.g., success, comfort, relationships, money, approval, control) have been competing with God for first place in your heart?
- How content are you with the portion God has given you? Do you find yourself comparing your life with others? Where is this rooted?
5. Empower the hands (15-20 mins)
- How intentional are you in seeking God’s guidance through His Word before making decisions? How can you make it a greater source of guidance in your daily decisions this week?
- How can you help pass on this treasure of faith to your family, friends, or the next generation?
6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)
- Praise the Heavenly Father for being our faithful Refuge, only Lord, greatest Treasure, and eternal Portion. Thank Him for never abandoning us, for faithfully guiding us through His Word, and for giving us exactly what is best according to His perfect wisdom. Rejoice that our security is not found in our circumstances but in His unchanging presence. Thank Him that through Jesus Christ, we have the sure hope of eternal joy and everlasting fellowship with Him.
- Repent for the times you have trusted in yourself, other people, or the things of this world more than you have trusted in God. Ask for forgiveness for allowing idols to compete with Him for first place in your heart. Confess the times you have complained, compared yourself with others, or doubted that His portion for you is good. Pray that the Holy Spirit would deepen your trust in God, teach you to treasure His presence above all else, and help you continually seek His guidance so that your life and your family will leave behind the lasting treasure of wholehearted faith in Him.
