]]> 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。

1. Start with a prayer

2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)

  • 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?

3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)

  • Read the passages. What is the heart of God for the world?
  • What are the four challenges given to believers in responding to God’s heart for the world? How are these practically seen today?

4. Examine the heart (15-20 mins)

  • 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?
  • What priorities or comforts in your life keep you from being more involved in God’s mission? Where is this rooted?

5. Empower the hands (15-20 mins)

  • 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?
  • What specific step can you take to grow in obedience to God’s call to “make disciples of all nations”?

6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)

  • 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.
  • 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.

]]> Nanguna na ang Panginoon —pabalik sa ating neighborhood, pabalik sa ating Galilee. Ngayong Missions Sunday, alamin natin kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng pagtatayo ng ating lungsod para kay Hesus: sa blueprint ng Diyos, sa matapat na pundasyon, at sa walang hanggang horizon.

The risen Christ has gone ahead, back to the neighborhood, back to our Galilee. This Mission Sunday, discover what it means to build this city for Jesus: using God’s blueprint, on a faithful foundation, and toward an eternal horizon.

1. Magdasal bilang panimula.

2. Engage with one another (15-30 mins)

  • If you could help rebuild or improve one thing in your neighborhood or city, ano iyon at bakit?

3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)

  • Basahin ang talata. Paano ipinakita ng Diyos na simula pa sa umpisa ang puso Niya ay para sa lahat ng tao?
  • Anong picture ng future ang makikita natin sa New Jerusalem? Paano nito dapat binabago ang perspective natin sa missions ngayon?

4. Engage the heart (15-20 mins)

  • How patient are you with people spiritually? Madali ka bang ma-frustrate o mapanghinaan ng loob kapag hindi sila agad nagbabago o tumutugon?
  • Mas focused ka ba minsan sa sariling plano mo kaysa sa Kingdom work na gustong gawin ni God sa pamamagitan mo? Bakit kaya?

5. Engage the hands (15-20 mins)

  • How do you usually see your neighborhood, workplace/school, or city? Karaniwang lugar lang ba, or isa ba itong lugar kung saan ang Diyos ay kumikilos na? Ano ang isang praktikal na hakbang ang maaari mong gawin ngayon darating na linggo upang ibahagi ang shalom ng Diyos sa iyong komunidad?
  • Paano mo sadyang maipapakita ang karakter ni Christ sa iyong pang-araw-araw na gawain at mga relasyon ngayong linggo?

6. Maglaan ng oras para sa pagdadasal (20-30 mins)

  • Purihin at pasalamatan ang Panginoon dahil ang puso Niya ay laging para sa lahat ng tao. Thank Him that from the very beginning, His desire was not only to save individuals but to restore all things through Jesus Christ. Magpasalamat dahil ang mission ni God ay hindi lang tungkol sa future heaven kungdi pati sa present restoration ng mga tao, relationships, communities, at creation. Praise Him because the risen Christ continues to go before us—back to our neighborhoods, workplaces, schools, and cities—to invite people into His kingdom. Thank Him that we are not building alone; we are participating in a city and kingdom that God Himself promised to complete.
  • Pagsisihan ang mga panahon na hindi ka kumilos, naging makasarili, o disconnected ka sa mission ni God sa paligid mo. Ask for forgiveness for the times na tiningnan mo ang neighborhood, workplace, school, o city mo as ordinary places instead of mission fields. Repent for moments na nawalan ka ng patience sa tao, walang pakialam sa needs ng iba, o mas inuna mo ang sariling comfort kaysa pagiging faithful presence ni Christ. Humingi ka ng tawad sa mga panahong hindi mo naipakita ang character, compassion, at heart ni Jesus sa everyday relationships mo. Pray that God would give you a heart that is patient, present, faithful, at willing makibahagi sa ginagawa Niyang pagbuo ng Kanyang eternal city.
