十一月是個非常溫馨的季節,也是SVCA每年的「感恩月」。感謝主!讓我們藉著以下三十天的經文,每日一小段,來提醒我們要常存感謝的心,向 神獻上我們的感恩。今年的感恩經文配合年度的主題:「主的靈在哪裡,那裡就得以自由」(林後 3:17b) 。讓我們藉著這些經文,每天順服聖靈的工作,盼望不論是在我們個人或在團體的生活和事奉中,都能更深、更廣地經歷聖靈大能的釋放、膏抹、醫治、更新,和改變,進而可以活出一個聖靈滿溢,自由豐盛的人生!

November is a very heartwarming season. It is also the “Month of Thanksgiving” here at SVCA. Praise the Lord! Let us offer our thanksgiving to God through these 30 Bible passages - one passage a day. This year’s Thanksgiving Bible passages are inspired by our annual theme - "Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (2 Cor. 3:17b).” Let's submit to the Work of the Holy Spirit through these passages. Let’s experience the mighty power of the Holy Spirit in our corporate service and personal lives. He is able to deliver, anoint, heal, renew, and change us, so that we can live a Spirit-filled life full of freedom and abundance.

Month of Thanksgiving - Day 20

詩篇 126
1 當耶和華將那些被擄的帶回錫安的時候,我們好像做夢的人。2 我們滿口喜笑、滿舌歡呼的時候,外邦中就有人說:「耶和華為他們行了大事!」3 耶和華果然為我們行了大事,我們就歡喜。4 耶和華啊,求你使我們被擄的人歸回,好像南地的河水復流。5 流淚撒種的,必歡呼收割。6 那帶種流淚出去的,必要歡歡樂樂地帶禾捆回來。

本詩描述 神百姓被擄歸回的喜樂,他們經過漫長的七十年,還能從巴比倫被釋放,回到錫安故土, 這對神兒女而言,是件多麼奇妙的大事,他們是何等的歡喜快樂,簡直像做夢一樣!想想,我們個人得救的故事,何嘗不是個神蹟,因著主耶穌的奇恩妙愛,使我們能從世界被擄之中,得到拯救,得到自由,我們心中真是充滿了喜樂!充滿了感恩!

當SVCA買會所時,神帶領我們過五關、斬六將,最終入駐Bowers這塊地,外邦人就看到:「耶和華果然為我們行了大事!」 願 神不斷施展大能,讓人們可以從我們教會繼續看到 神的奇妙作為。感謝主!使用我們在這裡與祂一同「流淚撒種」,一同「歡呼收割」。讓我們憑信心繼續為我們當中的福音朋友,及我們尚未信主的家人禱告,求 神的救恩臨到萬民!親愛的弟兄姐妹,你相不相信,神蹟天天都在發生!?:-)

Psalm 126
126 When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion, we were like those who dream. 2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.” 3 The Lord has done great things for us, and we are glad. 4 Bring back our captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the South. 5 Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. 6 He who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

This psalm describes the joy of God's people as they returned from captivity. It is so amazing that after a long period of seventy years, they could still be delivered from Babylon and came back to Zion their hometown. How great and amazing it is for God's children! They are so joyful like in a dream! Well, isn't the salvation story of each of us also a miracle?! Because of the amazing grace and extraordinary love of Jesus Christ, we are saved and freed from the captivity of the world. Our hearts are really full of joy and gratitude!


During SVCA purchased the  building, God led us to overcome all the difficulties in the way and finally to settle down in Bowers. The gentile saw that "The Lord has really done great things for us". May God's great power work unceasingly so that others may continue to discern God's incredible works from our church. Thanks be to the Lord! He uses us here to "sow in tears" and "reap in joy" with Him. Let us continue to pray in faith for our gospel friends and non-believer families. May God's salvation reach all people! Dear brothers and sisters, do you believe that miracle is happening everyday?! :-)
