BUILD THE BODY
Each of us has been uniquely “created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10). He’s given us talents, gifts and resources to be used for His glory. We want to help you discover how you can be a joyful steward whom God can use to transform lives — in church, in the community or around the world.
Before you explore our serving opportunities, take a moment to read what should motivate our desire to serve, why that is important, and the role that our spiritual community plays to help us serve God well.
我们每个人都是独特的,都是“在基督耶稣里创造的,为的是要我们行各样的善事,就是神预先所安排的”(以弗所书2:10)。神给予我们才干、恩赐与资源,让我们使用来荣耀祂的名。我们教会希望帮助每一位弟兄姐妹发掘成为神快乐的管家,在教堂、社区或是世界各地被神使用来改变他人的生命。
在您探索有哪些服事岗位之前,请花一点时间阅读以下的内容:我们服事的动机,服事的重要性,以及属灵团契在帮助我们更好地服事神方面所扮演的角色。
Before we walk in the good works God created us for, we must first grasp God’s grace work in our life! God’s Word tells us: “For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9).
Our act of serving is thus our response of love and gratitude to Jesus Christ for saving us from sin and death. We love and serve Him because He first loved and served us by giving His life for us (Mark 10:45). Hence we do not serve in order to earn God’s approval by our “sacrifice” or “works”. Instead, it is our response to His generous grace to us.
在参与服事前,我们必须先了解神的恩典在我们生命的工作。神的话语告诉我们:“你们得救是靠着恩典,借着信心。这不是出于自己,而是神所赐的;这也不是出于行为,免得有人自夸。”(以弗所书2:8-9)。
因此,我们服事是为要回应神对我们的爱,因为我们感激祂把我们从罪恶与死亡中拯救出来。神先爱我们并且通过舍命来服事我们(马可福音10:45),我们因此要爱祂且服事祂。服事并不是要通过我们的“付出”或“作为”来赚取神的认可,乃是要回应神丰盛的恩典。
Serving does not make us an acceptable Christian. Instead, being a Christian saved by God’s grace makes our serving acceptable.
While we may understand God’s grace in our head, it is easy for our heart to still see our service as a way of “impressing” God and man. Our flesh is prone to a works-based mindset that will rob us of joy in our service and turn it into a religious act.
This is why we need community around us to keep reminding and pointing us to God’s grace in Christ. We need spiritual family to keep us rooted and accountable. Hence, as part of our commitment to love you and help you grow in faith, we invite you to first be a part of community in WEFC.
Are you actively involved and connected in meaningful relationships in an LCG? If you’re not, we want to help you plug into one where you can grow spiritually and relationally, before you step into an area of service. Find out how you can grow in a small group here at WEFC.
尽管我们清楚了解得救纯粹靠着神的恩典,但我们内心深处仍然很容易将服事视为“表现”自己的方式。我们倾向于“论功行赏”的思维方式,这使得服事变成了一种宗教形式,从而掠夺了服事所带来的喜悦。
这也就是为什么我们身旁需要有弟兄姐妹不断地提醒我们,指引我们仰望神的恩典。我们大家都需要属灵团契的扶持与鼓励。因此,在参与服事之前,我们邀请您先成为兀兰播道会的一份子,参加我们的生命更新小组。想多了解参加小组的详情,请在此点击。

神创造世人,让我们有一颗想要亲近祂的心,让我们在祂里面找到了人生最终的意义和真正的喜乐。然而我们都离弃了神,将祂从我们的生活中摘除,这就是圣经中所提到的「罪」。罪使我们与神之间有了隔阂,导致了审判和死亡的惩罚。
因为神爱世人,所以祂差派了祂的儿子耶稣基督降世,为了我们的罪上十字架。但耶稣是无罪的,祂从不犯罪,却愿意为了我们受死,代替我们接受审判和死亡的代价。不仅如此,神更是使耶稣复活,战胜了死亡并让我们重获新生。
这就是福音,属于每一位基督徒的好消息。当我们悔改,信靠耶稣,我们便得到了神的宽恕和永生。这份救赎的恩典不是靠我们的努力而来,唯有通过耶稣,我们才能恢复与神友好的关系。
