許多人傾向在金錢、健康、人際關係或社會地位中尋求保障；但當這些事物頓時失去時，我們該如何自處？本主日，張國強牧師提醒我們,真正的保障與安全感從不建立在搖動不定的世俗物質上，而是建立在我們是否願意將信心倚靠在那位全能且永不改變的上帝身上。</p>

<p><strong>1. Start with a prayer</strong></p>
<p><strong>2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Share about a time when something you thought was secure or dependable unexpectedly changed. How did that experience affect you?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Read the psalm. What three descriptions does the psalmist use to explain who God is to His people during times of trouble? Identify other passages in the Bible that also emphasize these characteristics.</li>
<li>What does the phrase &#8220;Be still and know that I am God&#8221; mean? How is it different from simply resting or doing nothing?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>4. Examine the heart (15-20 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>In what ways has fear been influencing your decisions or attitudes recently? Where does this fear come from?</li>
<li>Look back at your past month. How often do you intentionally remember and thank God for what He has done in your life? How will remembering His faithfulness affect your trust today?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>5. Empower the hands (15-20 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>What is one practical way you can cultivate stillness before God this week so that you can better trust His will amidst your circumstances?</li>
<li>Who in your life is going through a difficult season? How can you encourage that person this week by pointing them to God as their refuge and strength?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Praise God for He alone is our unshakable refuge, strength, and ever-present help. Thank Him for His constant presence, His faithfulness through every season, and the many ways He has protected, sustained, and provided for us even when life felt uncertain. Pray that our confidence in His unchanging character will continue to grow as we remember His mighty works.</li>
<li>Ask for forgiveness for placing your security in temporary things such as possessions, achievements, relationships, health, or your own ability to control situations. Repent of allowing fear, anxiety, or self-reliance to take the place of trusting Him. Pray for a heart that willingly lets go of control, rests in God&#8217;s sovereign rule, and finds lasting security in His presence alone.</li>
</ul>

許多基督徒親近神，往往只在尋求幫助，或在禱告蒙應允時表達感謝。我們是否常因此錯過了單單注視神、因著祂的本性而讚美祂的福份？本主日，張國強牧師將透過詩篇第34篇，勉勵我們在萬事、萬處都尊崇耶和華。一同學習隨時隨地尊崇主，讓讚美神的聲音永不止息。</p>

<p><strong>1. Start with a prayer</strong></p>
<p><strong>2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>When you hear the phrase, &#8220;Praising God for 24 hours,&#8221; what thoughts and feelings come out? Does it sound joyful, tiring, unrealistic, or something else? Why?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Read the psalm. What is the difference between praising God for what He has done and praising Him for who He is? Why are both important?</li>
<li>What specific attitudes and actions describe someone who fears God?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>4. Examine the heart (15-20 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Which area of fearing the Lord needs the most growth in your life right now: controlling your words, turning away from evil and doing good, or pursuing peace? Why?</li>
<li>What aspect of your life is pride, hidden sin, or self-reliance keeping you from experiencing God&#8217;s nearness? What would it look like to humbly seek Him and surrender these to Him?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>5. Empower the hands (15-20 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Are you more likely to praise God only when life is going well, or have you learned to praise Him even in difficult seasons? What does this reveal? Identify one practical habit you can start this week to help you praise God throughout your day aside from church, ministry, or quiet time.</li>
<li>How can you intentionally use your words this week to bring encouragement, truth, and life to someone around you?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>​​Praise God because He is worthy of continual praise. Thank Him for being our Deliverer, Provider, and the God who draws near to those who seek Him. Thank Him for His faithfulness in every season, for sustaining us through difficulties, forgiving our sins, and proving that He is always good and trustworthy.</li>
<li>Ask God to forgive you for the times you have praised Him only when life was going well while complaining, doubting, or relying on yourself during hardships. Confess any careless words, sinful actions, or unwillingness to pursue peace. Ask Him to cultivate in you a genuine fear of the Lord, a heart that continually seeks Him, and a life that reflects His goodness through both your words and your actions.</li>

我們是否真的認識自己所敬拜的那位？雖然我們可能定期參加主日崇拜，卻常常與全能上帝那能改變生命的同在擦身而過。本主日，張國強牧師將勉勵我們舉起靈性的雙眼，一同來瞻仰這位配得一切讚美與榮耀的真神。</p>

<p><strong>1. Start with a prayer</strong></p>
<p><strong>2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>If someone asked you, &#8220;What does true worship look like?&#8221; how would you answer? Why?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Read the psalm. What truths about God establish why He alone is worthy of our worship?</li>
<li>What four characteristics describe the person who may approach and worship the Holy King?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>4. Examine the heart (15-20 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>When you worship God (whether privately or with others), what usually occupies your heart and mind? Is your focus primarily on God or on yourself? Where is this rooted?</li>
<li>Which area of holiness do you most need God to work on right now: your actions (clean hands), motives (pure heart), devotion (devoted spirit), or words (truthful lips)? Why?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>5. Empower the hands (15-20 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Do you truly live as though everything you have belongs to God, or do you tend to treat your possessions, abilities, or achievements as your own? What is one practical way you can acknowledge God&#8217;s ownership over everything you have this week?</li>
<li>How can the truth that Jesus is the King of Glory influence the way you interact with your family, coworkers/classmates, friends, or neighbors this week?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Praise the Heavenly Father because He alone is worthy of our worship. Thank Him for being our Creator, Sustainer, Holy King, and King of Glory. Express your gratitude that everything we have comes from Him, and that through Jesus we can confidently come into His presence with hope and joy. Pray that He may help us continually worship Him for who He is, not merely for what He can give.</li>
<li>Pray for forgiveness for the times you have allowed other things to compete for God&#8217;s rightful place in your heart. Confess where your actions, motives, devotion, or words have fallen short of His holiness. Ask Him to cleanse your hands, purify your heart, strengthen your devotion to Him alone, and make your speech truthful, so that your life may become a sincere act of worship before the King of Glory.</li>

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。</p>

<p><strong>1. Start with a prayer</strong></p>
<p><strong>2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Growing up, what was something your family considered a treasure or something worth protecting? Why was it important to your family?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Read the psalm. What does it mean that God is your only Lord, your greatest portion, and the guide of your life?</li>
<li>What are the results of trusting in God both in this life and in eternity?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>4. Examine the heart (15-20 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>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?</li>
<li>How content are you with the portion God has given you? Do you find yourself comparing your life with others? Where is this rooted?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>5. Empower the hands (15-20 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>How intentional are you in seeking God&#8217;s guidance through His Word before making decisions? How can you make it a greater source of guidance in your daily decisions this week?</li>
<li>How can you help pass on this treasure of faith to your family, friends, or the next generation?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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.</li>

<p><strong>1. Start with a prayer</strong></p>
<p><strong>2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>If you had to describe one aspect of God’s character through one of His names (Provider, Shepherd, Peace, Healer, etc.), which would you choose based on this season of life and why?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Read the psalm. Why is it significant that David used both Jehovah and Lord (Adonai)? What do these names reveal about God’s relationship with people?</li>
<li>How does this psalm connect God’s original commission to humanity with Jesus’ mission and the church’s calling today?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>4. Examine the heart (15-20 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>When you consider the greatness of God shown in creation and His care for humanity, what does that reveal about how you currently view yourself and your worth?</li>
<li>In what areas of your life do you acknowledge God as Jehovah (a relational God) but struggle to submit to Him as Lord and Master?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>5. Empower the hands (15-20 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>This week, what is one intentional way you can pause and recognize God’s majesty in creation and turn that into worship?</li>
<li>What is one practical way you can live as God’s representative in your family, workplace, school, or ministry this week? Who is one person God may be calling you to intentionally disciple, encourage spiritually, or pray for as part of participating in His mission?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Praise the Heavenly Father because His name is majestic in all the earth and His glory is revealed in creation, in His victories, in His faithful care, and in His redemptive work through Christ. Thank Him that though humanity is small and undeserving, He chose to create us in His image, crown us with dignity, and invite us into relationship with Him. Rejoice that through Christ, what was broken by sin is being restored, and that He allows us to participate in His glorious mission of making disciples among all nations.</li>
<li>Repent for the times you have lived as though your identity, value, and purpose depend on your own strength, accomplishments, or failures instead of what God has declared over you. Ask for forgiveness for recognizing God as Savior while resisting Him as Lord and Master over every area of your life. Pray that your heart would submit more fully to Christ, trust His restoring work, and faithfully carry out the commission He has entrusted to His people for His glory.</li>

<p><strong>1. Start with a prayer</strong></p>
<p><strong>2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Share about a time when someone felt distant from you (friend, family, mentor, etc.). How did that affect the way you related to them?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Read the passage. Instead of abandoning his faith, how does the psalmist respond when God seems distant?</li>
<li>What does the psalm teach about expressing negative emotions before God?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>4. Examine the heart (15-20 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>When you experience sadness, disappointment, confusion, or loneliness, do you tend to bring those emotions to God or suppress and carry them alone?</li>
<li>Where in your life have you been allowing your feelings or circumstances to define truth more than God’s Word?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>5. Empower the hands (15-20 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>What is one practical way you can intentionally draw near to God this week, especially if you don’t feel like it? How can you create rhythms of worship, prayer, and remembrance that help sustain your faith in difficult seasons?</li>
<li>What truth from Scripture can you intentionally preach to yourself this week whenever discouragement or uncertainty comes?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Praise the Heavenly Father because He welcomes us not only in moments of joy but also in seasons of grief, confusion, loneliness, and longing. Thank Him that His steadfast love does not change even when His presence feels distant. Rejoice that through Christ, we have access to draw near to God and find refuge in Him. Thank Him for being our Rock, Refuge, and faithful guide even when the future feels uncertain.</li>
<li>Repent for the times you have allowed emotions, disappointments, or difficult experiences to pull your heart away from God rather than bringing them honestly before Him. Ask for forgiveness for suppressing your pain, relying on your own understanding, or seeking comfort apart from His presence. Pray that God would teach you to lament faithfully, to preach His truth to your heart, and to continue drawing near to Him even in seasons when He seems distant.</li>

<p><strong>1. Start with a prayer</strong></p>
<p><strong>2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Share about a season in your life that felt like a “wilderness” (dry, difficult, uncertain, lonely, or stretching). What did that season reveal about your relationship with God?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Read the passage. What does David’s longing for God reveal about the difference between seeking God Himself and seeking only His blessings? How do we see this difference today?</li>
<li>How does Psalm 63 point us toward Jesus and the invitation to find ultimate satisfaction in Him?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>4. Examine the heart (15-20 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Where has comfort or routine quietly weakened your dependence on God?</li>
<li>What thoughts usually dominate your quiet moments? How are those thoughts shaping your mind, heart, and trust in God? Is there any fear, bitterness, anxiety, disappointment, or desire for control that God may be inviting you to surrender to Him?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>5. Empower the hands (15-20 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>What is one intentional practice you can begin this week to cultivate a deeper longing for God (e.g., prayer, Scripture meditation, worship, solitude, journaling)? What would it look like for you to pursue satisfaction in God instead of temporary comfort or worldly substitutes this week?</li>
<li>When fear or anxious thoughts arise this week, what practical way can you redirect your attention toward worship and trust?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Praise the Heavenly Father because He alone satisfies the deepest thirst of the human soul. Thank Him that His steadfast love is better than life and remains faithful through every season—whether in abundance or in the wilderness. Rejoice that He does not abandon His people in difficult places but uses those seasons to draw us nearer, deepen our trust, and reveal His presence more fully. Thank Jesus that He entered suffering and experienced ultimate thirst so that we may receive eternal satisfaction and life in Him.</li>
<li>Repent for the times you have pursued comfort, control, achievement, relationships, or temporary satisfaction more than seeking God Himself. Ask for forgiveness for becoming spiritually passive, relying on blessings while neglecting the Blesser, and turning toward worry, fear, bitterness, or self-dependence during wilderness seasons. Pray that God would restore in you a desperate hunger for His presence, teach you to worship even in dry seasons, and form in you a heart that continually longs for Him, delights in Him, and leans on Him completely.</li>

<p><strong>1. Start with a prayer</strong></p>
<p><strong>2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Share a habit or routine that has helped you stay spiritually grounded during difficult seasons. How did you develop it?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Read the passage. How is the righteous person compared to a tree? What makes his life abundant and fruitful?</li>
<li>What does the chaff teach about the life of the wicked? How do we see chaff-like living today?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>4. Examine the heart (15-20 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>How healthy is the unseen part of your spiritual life (your personal relationship with God when no one else sees)? Which aspects are flourishing, and which ones withering?</li>
<li>What areas in your life are you choosing your own path instead of surrendering to God’s direction? Where is this coming from?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>5. Empower the hands (15-20 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Do you delight in God’s Word, or do you often treat it as a responsibility or routine? Why do you think that is? What practical habit can you start this week to meditate on God’s Word more intentionally day and night?</li>
<li>In what ways are you tempted to walk, stand, and sit with ungodly influences instead of following God’s ways? What unhealthy influence, environment, or relationship do you need to say “no” to so you can walk more faithfully with God?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Praise the Heavenly Father for leading us into the path of true blessing and life through His Word. Thank Him because He does not leave us lost or directionless, but lovingly watches over the way of the righteous. Rejoice that through His Word, He nourishes our souls like a tree planted by streams of water, giving us strength, stability, and fruitfulness in every season of life. Thank Him for His faithfulness in sustaining us even through trials and challenges, and for allowing us to know Him personally and walk closely with Him.</li>
<li>Repent for the times you have followed worldly influences, chosen your own path, or allowed sinful attitudes and habits to shape your life. Ask forgiveness for neglecting God’s Word or treating it only as knowledge instead of delighting in it and obeying it wholeheartedly. Confess the ways your roots have become shallow and your heart distracted from intimacy with God. Pray that the Lord would help you reject the path that leads to destruction and continually plant your life deeply in Him, so that you may bear lasting fruit for His glory.</li>

<li>Share your greatest hope or concern for the next generation (kids, younger people in the family/church/community).</li>

<li>In what areas of your life do you tend to work and strive without fully depending on God’s presence? Where is this rooted?</li>
<li>What fears or frustrations do you have about the gap between the present generation and the next? How might God be inviting you to respond differently?</li>

<p><strong>6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Praise the Heavenly Father because His work in our lives is never in vain when He is at the center. Thank Him for being our true source of security, peace, and purpose, even when the world teaches us to rely on our own strength and achievements. Thank Him for the gift of families, children, and the next generation whom He has entrusted to us as a heritage, blessing, and instrument for His glory. Rejoice that God continues to work even while we rest, and that His plans will continue from generation to generation as His faithfulness endures forever.</li>
<li>Repent for the times you have labored, worried, and built your life apart from God’s presence and direction. Ask for forgiveness for placing your security in temporary things instead of trusting the Lord completely. Repent for the moments you have neglected, underestimated, or failed to intentionally invest in the next generation spiritually. Pray that God would soften your heart to see children, youth, and younger believers through His eyes, and ask Him to help you faithfully pass on the faith through your words, example, love, and obedience.</li>

世界上共有70億人尚未信主。其中，有1億人來自我們自己的國家。這項數據凸顯了外展事工與分享福音的巨大機會。在這個「宣教主日」，Reverend John Ong 將探討我們如何透過在家庭和社區中分享基督、支持宣教事工，或是親自擔任宣教士，來過一種宣教的生活。</p>

<h3>Read Today&#8217;s Scripture Passage</h3>
<p>提摩太前書 1Timothy 2:3-6 | 彼得後書 2 Peter 3:9</p>
<h3>Life Group Discussion Guide</h3>
<p><a class="button" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/113WZqFpu89kHSyBIgtvIg0ffDDcZqiyl/view?usp=drive_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Download PDF</a></p>
<p><strong>1. Start with a prayer</strong></p>
<p><strong>2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Share about a time when someone introduced you to Christ, invited you to church, or helped you grow spiritually. How did that impact your life?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Read the passages. What is the heart of God for the world?</li>
<li>What are the four challenges given to believers in responding to God’s heart for the world? How are these practically seen today?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>4. Examine the heart (15-20 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>When you think about people who still do not know Christ, what usually happens in your heart (burdened, indifferent, fearful, or compassionate)? Why? How would you honestly evaluate your love for God and love for people today?</li>
<li>What priorities or comforts in your life keep you from being more involved in God’s mission? Where is this rooted?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>5. Empower the hands (15-20 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>How well are you displaying the character and priorities of Christ in your daily life (family, workplace/school, or community)? How can you intentionally display these in your daily interactions this week?</li>
<li>What specific step can you take to grow in obedience to God’s call to “make disciples of all nations”?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Praise the Heavenly Father for His great love and compassion for the whole world. Thank Him that His heart desires for all people to be saved and restored to Him through Jesus Christ. Rejoice that even while humanity was separated from Him because of sin, God made a way for reconciliation through Christ, our Mediator and Savior. Thank Him for the gift of eternal life—not only the promise of being with Him forever in heaven, but also the privilege of walking with Him daily here on earth. Praise Him that His mission continues today through ordinary believers empowered by His Spirit to make Christ known to all people.</li>
<li>Repent for the times you have neglected God’s heart for the lost and become too focused on your own comfort, priorities, or fears. Ask for forgiveness for the moments you remained silent about the Gospel, failed to love people deeply, or lacked compassion for those who are far from God. Confess the times you have not reflected the character and priorities of Christ in your daily life. Pray that God would transform your heart to align with His heart for the nations, giving you greater love, boldness, obedience, and willingness to participate in His mission wherever He places you.</li>
