Introduction｜From Following Christ to Belonging Together

引言｜从跟随基督到彼此归属

Rev. Aaron Liu began by guiding the congregation to reflect on Jesus’ invitation, “Come and see” (John 1:39), reminding them that this invitation is always relational before it is missional.
刘牧师首先带领会众回顾耶稣的邀请：“你们来看”（约翰福音 1:39），并提醒大家，这个邀请在使命之前，先是一个关系的呼召。
To come to Jesus is not merely to observe Him from a distance, but to remain with Him, walk with Him, and be shaped by His life.
来到耶稣面前，并不是远远地观看祂，而是与祂同住、同行，并让生命被祂塑造。
Rev. Aaron Liu explained that when we respond to Christ, we are not simply attending a service or joining a programme.
刘牧师指出，当我们回应基督时，我们并不是只参加一场聚会或加入一个事工。
We are drawn into a people — the people of God — a spiritual family being built together by grace and for God’s purposes (1 Peter 2:5).
我们是被带进一群人当中——神的子民——一个因恩典被建造、为神旨意而存在的属灵家庭（彼得前书 2:5）。
As the church enters a new season, Rev. Aaron Liu reminded the congregation that this is a moment not for slogans, but for spiritual clarity.
当教会进入新的阶段时，刘牧师提醒会众，这不是高喊口号的时刻，而是需要属灵清晰的时刻。

Vision answers who we are becoming in Christ.
异象回答的是：我们在基督里正被塑造成怎样的人。

Mission answers how we will live this out together.
使命回答的是：我们要如何一同活出来。

Church Vision 2026–2030

教会异象 2026–2030

A Christ-centred, intergenerational family being transformed and transforming others
一个以基督为中心、跨世代同行、生命被更新并更新他人的属灵家庭
Rev. Aaron Liu encouraged the church to receive this vision not as a statement to admire, but as a calling to embody.
刘牧师鼓励教会，不要只是欣赏这异象，而是活出这异象。

1. Christ at the Centre of All We Are

一、基督是一切的中心

Scripture:
Colossians 1:18
经文：歌罗西书 1:18
Rev. Aaron Liu reminded the church that Christ must not only be important, but central.
刘牧师提醒教会，基督不仅要“重要”，更必须居于中心。
The church does not exist around activities, leaders, or traditions, but around the living Christ.
教会不是围绕活动、领袖或传统而存在，而是围绕永活的基督而存在。
When Christ is central, unity is preserved with humility (Ephesians 4:2–3), decisions are discerned through prayer (James 1:5), and ministry flows from dependence rather than performance (John 15:5).
当基督居首位时，合一便在谦卑中被保守（以弗所书 4:2–3），决定在祷告中被分辨（雅各书 1:5），事奉不再是表现，而是倚靠（约翰福音 15:5）。
When Christ is central, everything else is rightly ordered.
当基督居首位时，万事便回到正位。

2. Formed as an Intergenerational Family

二、被塑造成跨世代的家庭

Scripture:
Psalm 145:4
Ephesians 2:19
经文：诗篇 145:4；以弗所书 2:19
Rev. Aaron Liu reminded the congregation that God’s design for the church has always been family, not fragmentation.
刘牧师提醒会众，神对教会的设计从来都是“家庭”，而不是分散的个体。
An intergenerational church is not defined by age groups sharing space, but by generations sharing life.
跨世代的教会不是不同年龄共用空间，而是不同世代彼此分享生命。
Faith is strengthened when stories are shared, wisdom is passed on, and love flows both upward and downward (1 Corinthians 12:12–27).
当生命故事被分享、智慧被传承、爱在上下世代之间流动时，信仰就得以坚固（哥林多前书 12:12–27）。
The church does not aim merely to grow larger, but to grow deeper — together.
教会的目标不只是更大，而是更深——一同成长。

3. Lives Continually Transformed by the Gospel

三、生命持续被福音更新

Scripture:
2 Corinthians 5:17
Romans 12:2
经文：哥林多后书 5:17；罗马书 12:2
Rev. Aaron Liu emphasized that the gospel does not merely inform the mind; it transforms the whole person.
刘牧师强调，福音不只是更新思想，而是改变整个人。
When Christ is central and believers are rooted in loving community, lives are slowly and faithfully reshaped.
当基督居首位，信徒又扎根在爱的群体中，生命就会在时间中被真实更新。
Transformation is often quiet — seen in healed wounds, renewed perspectives, restored relationships, and clarified purpose.
这种改变往往是安静的——体现在伤口得医治、眼光被更新、关系得修复、方向更清晰。
True fruit is measured not by visibility, but by faithfulness.
真正的果效，不在于显眼，而在于忠心。

4. Sent to Serve Our Communities and the World

四、被差遣去服事社区与世界

Scripture:
Matthew 5:16
Acts 1:8
经文：马太福音 5:16；使徒行传 1:8
Rev. Aaron Liu reminded the church that a church shaped by Christ cannot remain inward-focused.
刘牧师提醒教会，一个被基督塑造的教会不能只向内看。
God places His people in specific cities, cultures, and seasons so that His love may be made visible.
神把祂的子民放在特定的城市、文化与时代中，为要让祂的爱被看见。
Serving others is not an additional programme, but the natural overflow of transformed lives (James 2:17).
服事他人不是额外的事工，而是生命被更新后的自然流露（雅各书 2:17）。

Church Mission 2026–2030

教会使命 2026–2030

Every generation growing as faithful disciples of Jesus — loving God wholeheartedly, living faith authentically, and serving others sacrificially
每一个世代都成长为忠心的耶稣门徒——全心爱神、真实活出信仰、以舍己的爱服事他人
Rev. Aaron Liu reminded the church that discipleship is a lifelong journey for every believer.
刘牧师提醒教会，门徒之路是每位信徒一生的旅程。

Living the Mission｜Three Rhythms of Discipleship

活出使命｜门徒生命的三种节奏

Loving God Wholeheartedly

全心爱神

Matthew 22:37
Discipleship begins with love for God that is nurtured through prayer, worship, Scripture, and intimacy with Christ.
门徒生命始于对神的爱，并透过祷告、敬拜、神的话语和与基督的亲密关系不断加深。

Living Faith Authentically

真实活出信仰

James 1:22
Faith is lived out daily — in ordinary decisions, relationships, and responsibilities.
信仰是在日常生活中被活出来的——在每一个平凡的选择与责任中。

Serving Others Sacrificially

舍己服事他人

Mark 10:45
True discipleship reflects the self-giving love of Christ, even when it costs comfort or convenience.
真实的门徒生命会反映基督舍己的爱，即使这意味着付出代价。

Conclusion｜Walking Forward Together in Christ

结论｜在基督里一同前行

Rev. Aaron Liu concluded by reminding the congregation that this vision is not something we strive to achieve by human effort.
刘牧师在结论中提醒会众，这异象不是靠人的努力去完成的目标。
It names what God is already doing among His people and invites the church to participate more intentionally.
它指出神已经在祂子民中所做的工，并邀请教会更有意识地参与其中。
The church is called to:
教会被呼召去：
Belong intentionally — choosing covenant over convenience (Hebrews 10:24–25)
刻意归属——选择委身胜过方便
Grow faithfully — allowing Christ to shape every season of life (Colossians 2:6–7)
忠心成长——让基督塑造生命的每一个阶段
Serve generously — making God’s love visible in tangible ways (1 Peter 4:10)
慷慨服事——让神的爱具体可见
This is not a call to perfection, but to faithfulness; not to rush ahead, but to walk together under Christ.
这不是对完美的呼召，而是对忠心的呼召；不是急速前行，而是在基督里同行。

Take-Home Message (One Sentence)

带回家的信息（一句话）

God is forming us into one Christ-centred family, growing together as disciples whose lives are transformed and whose love is sent outward for His purposes.
上帝正在将我们塑造成一个以基督为中心的大家庭，让我们共同成长为门徒，我们的生命得到改变，我们的爱被传递给祂，以实现祂的旨意。

Amen. 阿门

Closing DG Prayer

Gracious and loving God,
we thank You for this time together as Your family.
Thank You for Your Word that has spoken to us,
for the reminders of who we are in Christ
and how You are shaping us as one body.
Lord Jesus, You have called us by Your grace.
Help us to belong intentionally —
to love one another beyond convenience,
to walk together across generations,
and to reflect Your love in our relationships.
Holy Spirit, continue to form us.
Grow us as authentic disciples —
deepening our faith, shaping our character,
and teaching us to live out Your Word daily
in our homes, workplaces, and communities.
Send us out, Lord, with willing hearts.
Show us where to serve faithfully in this season,
that Your love may be made visible
through our words, our actions, and our lives.
As we go from this place,
keep us united as one family,
grounded in one faith,
and committed to one mission.
We offer ourselves afresh to You —
to love You deeply,
to live our faith faithfully,
and to serve others sacrificially.
We ask all this in the precious name of
Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
