以馬內利教會以復活的權能復興宣教之心

3月31日,以馬內利教會結束了在香港舉行的聯合復活節培靈會,並重新燃起了對宣教的「新心」,因為主已經復活了,並且祂也囑咐我們要成為見證人,「並且人要奉祂的名傳悔改、赦罪的道,…直傳到萬邦。」

在培靈會期間,大家通過約翰福音1-2章對耶穌基督以及祂在每個人的生活中所做的事情有了更深入的認識,並且在其後的約翰福音3-4章的學習中,「(明白到)我們的信仰需要更進一步,就是進入主的生命中,並在我們每天的生活中經歷死與復活的生命,」一位宣教士分享道。

此外,一顆真誠祈求活水的心是寶貴的,「主可以讓我們成為活水的源頭,給別人活水,」他補充道。

最後,在復活節主日中,大家也明白了主的復活不僅給予他們永生,也給予他們奉祂的名向萬民傳講福音的能力。
