2024 年即將結束，讓我們反思神在這一年裡的恩惠。本主日，張國強牧師鼓勵我們操練自己的心和思想，從神的角度看待情況，以感恩的心來回想過去這一年。
As 2024 draws to a close, let us reflect on what God has done for us throughout the year. This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung encourages us to train our hearts and minds to view both good and bad situations from God’s perspective and to look back on the past year with gratitude.

1. Start with a prayer

2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)
– Share a time you realized you took something for granted. What caused you to forget its value? What happened after your realization?

3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)
– Read the passage. Why is it essential to acknowledge that God’s grace comes from His sovereignty?
– What distinguishes special grace and common grace? Cite examples of how we all experience common grace.

4. Engage the heart (15-20 mins)
– Do you find it easier to focus on the wrongs done to you than on the blessings you have received from God? Why or why not? What encourages and hinders you from doing so?
– Evaluate yourself: Have you been taking God’s grace and blessings for granted in any area of your life? Identify the root causes and roadblocks to living mindfully and gratefully.

5. Engage the hands (15-20 mins)
– What specific steps can you take to cultivate a habit of remembering and giving thanks for God’s grace daily?
– How can you encourage others in your life to adopt a perspective of gratitude rather than complaining?

6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)
– Praise the Lord for His abundant grace, both common and special, which sustains us daily and gives us eternal hope. Give thanks for His forgiveness of sins, healing of diseases, and redemption through Jesus Christ. Rejoice in the satisfaction and fullness we have in His presence, for His mercies are new every morning and His goodness endures forever.
– Repent for the times you have forgotten God’s grace, taking His forgiveness, healing, and blessings for granted. Ask for forgiveness for focusing more on complaints and hardships than on His providence and sovereignty. Pray for a heart of gratitude and humility that always remembers His unmerited favor and love.

The post 你當記得 Always Remember appeared first on Christian Bible Church of the Philippines.

Sa pagtatapos ng taon, alalahanin natin ang kabutihan ng Diyos, ang ating pagkakakilanlan sa Kanya, at ang Kanyang nag-uumapaw na biyaya. Sa linggong ito, hinihikayat tayo ni Pastor Renz Raquion na magbalik-tanaw nang may pasasalamat at mapagpakumbabang pagsunod habang tinatanggap natin ang kapatawaran, pagpapanumbalik, at pagpapala ng Diyos sa atin sa taong 2024.

As the year comes to an end, let us recall God’s goodness, our identity in Him, and His abundant grace. This week, Pastor Renz Raquion urges us to reflect with gratitude and humble obedience as we remember God’s forgiveness, restoration, and blessings throughout 2024.

1. Magdasal bilang panimula.

2. Engage with one another (15-30 mins)
• Magbahagi ng tatlong bagay na pinasasalamatan mo para sa taong ito at nais mong dalhin sa susunod na taon.

3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)
• Basahin ang talata. Paano inilarawan ni David kung sino ang Panginoon? Ano ang inihahayag ng mga katangiang ito tungkol sa kung sino ang Diyos?
• Ano ang mga halimbawa ng makamundong pag-iisip? Bakit ang pagpapasalamat sa Diyos ay isang lunas mula sa makamundong pag-iisip at nanlalamig at nanlalayo na puso?

4. Engage the heart (15-20 mins)
• Ngayon na alam mo ang iyong identity, honor, at glory bilang Kristiyano, paano naaapektuhan ang iyong pagtingin sa iyong sarili?
• Pinahintulutan mo ba ang makamundong pag-iisip o isang matigas na puso na maging sagabal sa iyong pasasalamat sa Diyos? Ano ang naghihikayat at humahadlang sa iyo na gawin ito?

5. Engage the hands (15-20 mins)
• Paano mo sasanayin na alalahanin at ipagdiwang kung sino ang Panginoon sa iyong pang-araw-araw na pamumuhay?
• Anong mga pagkilos ang maaari mong gawin upang laging magkaroon ng pusong nagpapasalamat sa Diyos, lalo na sa pagtatapos ng taon at pagsisimula ang isang bagong taon?

6. Maglaan ng oras para sa pagdadasal (20-30 mins)
• Purihin ang Panginoon na nagpapatawad sa lahat ng ating mga kasalanan, nagpapagaling sa ating mga sakit, at nagliligtas sa atin mula sa kamatayan. Magpasalamat sa Kanyang wagas na pag-ibig at awa at pinupuno ang ating buhay ng mabubuting bagay. Ipagdasal na huwag mong kalimutan ang Kanyang mga sakripisyo at patuloy na ipahayag ang “Hallelujah!” bilang patotoo ng Kanyang kabutihan at katapatan.
• Magsisi sa mga panahong nakalimutan mong kilalanin kung sino ang Panginoon at ang maraming mabubuting bagay na Kanyang ginawa. Ipagtapat ang mga sandaling nag-alinlangan ka sa iyong pagkakakilanlan kay Kristo o hindi mo Sya napasalamatan sa Kanyang wagas na pag-ibig at awa. Humingi ng panibagong puso na umaalala, nagpaparangal, at nagpapasalamat sa Panginoon sa lahat ng pagkakataon.
