開啟深廣2026的信仰與生活首篇——以弗所教會的聯想

     今次晨禱讀經，是閱讀啟示錄，其中有關於向七教會的啟示，聖靈在我心中有很大的感動、提醒，就像揭示一段一段跟隨主的旅程。

     起點是那位有才幹，得人喜愛，他充滿活力，是一個有理想、有熱情的小伙子，他對周邊發生的事情，都有興趣；他勤奮、盡責，又有耐心，正直不暴躁 ，但對那些虛偽作假的人，勇敢撕破他們的偽裝行為；擁抱着心中異象，就向着目標，持續不𢶷，彷彿有用不完的精力，身邊的家人，都引以為榮，成為同齡人效法的對象。

     他努力地一步一步走著，時間從身邊慢慢過去，有時非快的流失，有時又好像凝固不動，他開始無法駕馭，心中開始感到壓力，無奈，當留意到那些靜靜消逝的日子時，他對生活開始冷淡下來，昔日服侍的熱情消失了！我問聖靈為什麼會這樣呢？原來，人在陶醉自己的成就，目光只看重事情的結果，只作世人眼中為義為正之事，不懂珍惜生活的過程，方向就開始偏移，隨著時間的過去，偏差就浮現，我們不要錯失生命中與人相處的良機，事工是替代不了真實愛的聯繫，世界給予的虛榮是表面和短暫，唯有從人與人的互動，就算是一起哭，所結出生命的果子，才是神為我們預備，使我們心滿足，靈快樂的得勝生命。

預告下站的目的地是士每拿

Opening Deep and Wide 2026 — Reflections from the Church in Ephesus

As we begin our new year’s theme, Deep and Wide 2026: Faith and Life, our morning devotion led us to read from the Book of Revelation — the letters to the seven churches. The Holy Spirit deeply moved my heart, revealing to me a journey of walking closely with the Lord, one step at a time.  

It begins with someone full of talent and joy — a young man brimming with dreams, energy, and passion. He’s charming, sincere, and ready to take on life. He cares about what’s happening around him and works hard with patience and integrity. He’s not quick-tempered but brave enough to confront hypocrisy. With a clear vision burning in his heart, he presses on toward his goal with unstoppable strength, making his family proud and inspiring those around him.  

But as time passed, something changed. The days began to slip by — sometimes too fast, sometimes painfully slow. He started feeling lost inside. The pressure grew, and without noticing, his heart cooled down. The passion he once had in serving the Lord faded away. I asked the Holy Spirit, “Why does this happen?” And the Spirit gently showed me this truth:  When people become focused only on their achievements or on doing what seems “right” in others’ eyes, they easily lose sight of the journey itself. Life turns into a list of results instead of a path of love. Slowly, the direction shifts — not all at once, but little by little. When that happens, we miss the priceless opportunity to truly connect with others. Ministry can never replace genuine love. The praise of the world is short-lived, but the fruit that grows out of heartfelt relationships — even through tears — is what God truly blesses us with. 

That kind of life fills our hearts with peace and joy.

在2025年終，「喜悅」已構建出一個涵蓋較全面的框架，從嬰孩吃奶的到銀髪一族，在喜悅611大家庭裏，都被看顧，牧養成長，甚至遠在紐西蘭的生命點，每主日他們聚在一起，透過晨禱、線上學房、摸索出獨特的成長路，兩位忠心的小組長按時分糧，神正引領着我們走每一步 。

深廣2026，既對前景充滿盼望，也提醒我們要在現有基礎上，穩固擴展好這根基。在約翰福音10:10節，盜 賊 來 ， 無 非 要 偷 竊 ， 殺 害 ， 毀 壞 ；我(耶穌) 來 了 ， 是 要 叫 羊 （ 或 作 ： 人 ） 得 生 命 ， 並 且 得 的 更 豐 盛 。 耶穌會陪伴着我們面對屬靈爭戰。

     聖靈正帶領着我們走進以斯帖記普珥節的流裏，一起重新審視，我是怎樣與人溝通的呢，彼此的関係是薄弱還是深厚，觸摸自己的內心世界，體會行在先関係後事工，所帶出爆炸性的果效，更深更廣就是在現有的根基下，挖掘出種類更多、質量更佳和更豐富的隱藏珍寶，祝福大家在神給予我們的服侍領域裏，與神的心意更吻合。已報名參加「醫治一」裝備課的，深刻認識影響著屬靈生命健康成長的特徵，除去那些深藏的雜質，得着神寶貴的應許，回復神創造中的美好。

By the end of 2025, Favor 611 has built a fairly complete framework. From babies who are just learning to feed, to our senior members with silver hair, everyone in the family of Favor is being cared for and pastored as they grow. Even our Life Point in New Zealand gathers every Sunday. Through morning devotion , online Bible classes, and by exploring a unique path of growth, two faithful small group leaders share God’s provision in season. God is truly guiding us step by step.

As we enter “Deep and Wide 2026,” we are full of hope for the future, and at the same time reminded to strengthen and expand what has already been built. John 10:10 tells us:

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I (Jesus) have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”

Jesus walks with us as we face spiritual battles.

     The Holy Spirit is also leading us into the flow of the Book of Esther and Purim. Together, we reflect again: How do I communicate with others? Are our relationships shallow or deep? We are invited to touch our inner world and to experience the powerful impact of putting relationship first, before ministry.

To go deeper and wider means to dig within the foundation we already have, to discover more kinds of hidden treasures—better in quality and richer in abundance—so that we may bless others and align more closely with God’s heart in the areas of service He has entrusted to us.

For those who have signed up for the “Healing 1” training course, may you gain a deeper understanding of what affects the healthy growth of our spiritual life, remove the hidden impurities within, receive God’s precious promises, and be restored to the beauty of God’s original creation.

今天主崇是長大成熟系列最後一講。起初，我們的視角先由一個獨立的個體開始，感謝神，Janice 為這主題作破峰第一講，以前的她，常覺得牧養為什麼總要和組員吃飯，教導、解釋聖經和禱告便可以嗎！但如今我們的Janice 已經突破昔日的框框，可從”我“到“我們”，不是事工導向，而是以人為本，在開組時常常開放家庭與組員一起愛筵，若對應今天深廣2026的主題，就是一個可量度的轉變。

     之後，弟兄姊妹就在church camp一起共渡三日兩夜營會生活，更是透過模擬人生Sim life，讓大家對人生作多角度的體會，而我就在那次崇拜中，把大家從個人視角，擴展到一個家庭，我們從頭腦明白到行動實踐，最佳的操練地點，就是自己的家庭，透過天天一起生活，認識了解家中的不同身份，從互動摩擦中，提升改善，最終能彼此配合，使家庭溫度增加，成為一個神喜悅的家庭。

     往後的第三、第四講，Ceci 和亞Paul 就從教會生活探討，因著內心回應耶穌的愛，主動參與小組，也開始關心身邊的新朋友，參與教會不同的活動，在互動中漸漸成長，無私的擺上，發自內心的服事，經歷以主為中心的生命，在衆多不同服侍中，我們就更成熟。連同剛過去的第五講，611的十一個核心價值，就更俱體幫助大家，在動盪的時代裏，站立得穩，把錨牢牢的繫在屬靈的根基上，今天最後一講，挑戰大家，都要成為，得着一個主所應許的蒙福人生，並且能代代傳承。

回顧我們在主崇分享長大成熟系列的六講，橫跨2025 年十二月到2026一月，由我和五位同工分別負責，透過我們不同的生命經歷，展示每個人從不同的低位的改變。原來不知不覺神已帶領著大家一起走進深廣2026裏。大家就彼此扶持，在神的保守引領裏，勇敢向前。阿們

Today’s Sunday service is the last message in the Growing to Maturity series.

At the beginning, we started from the view of an individual. We thank God for Janice, who shared the first message and opened this theme. In the past, she often wondered why pastoral care always involved eating with group members. She thought teaching the Bible and praying should be enough. But today, Janice has broken through her old way of thinking. Her focus has moved from “I” to “We.” Her ministry is no longer task-focused but people-focused. When her group meets, she often opens her home and shares meals with members. If we connect this with the Deep and Wide 2026 theme, this is a real and measurable change.

After that, brothers and sisters spent three days and two nights together at the church camp. Through the “Sim Life” experience, everyone reflected on life from different angles. During that Sunday service, I led everyone to move from an individual view to a family view. We learned that it is not enough to understand with our minds; we must put it into action. The best place to practice is our own family. By living together every day, we learn the different roles in the family. Through interaction and even friction, we grow, improve, and learn to work together. In this way, the warmth of the family increases, and it becomes a family that pleases God.

In the third and fourth messages, Ceci and Paul shared from the perspective of church life. Because of their response to Jesus’ love, people began to join small groups actively, care for new friends, and take part in different church activities. Through interaction, they slowly grew. With selfless giving and sincere service, they experienced a Christ-centered life. Through serving in many different ways, we grow more mature. Together with the fifth message just shared, the eleven core values of 611 helped everyone in a very practical way. In a shaking world, we can stand firm and anchor our lives on a strong spiritual foundation. Today, in this final message, we are challenged to all receive the blessed life God has promised and to pass it on from generation to generation.

Looking back at the six messages in the Growing to Maturity series, shared from December 2025 to January 2026, they were delivered by me and five co-workers. Through our different life stories, we shared how each of us changed from different low points. Without us even noticing, God has been leading us together into Deep and Wide 2026. As we support one another, under God’s protection and guidance, we move forward bravely.

Amen.

我們這週晨禱閱讀以斯帖記，故事是拯救猶大人在被擄時期，在瑪代波斯王朝下，亞哈隨魯王的大臣哈曼屠殺猶大人的計劃裏，如何反敗為勝，整卷以斯帖記沒有隻字提及神的名，而結果哈曼卻被自己所定的日子，反被消滅，神是拯救猶大人的主，神是何其深廣。

上主日我以”深廣2026的底氣”為題 ，分享究竟詩篇第八篇所讚美天上的主，我們的神是如何又深又廣，透過認識那墮落的天使長Lucifer 路西法，明白神在創造救贖中我們這嬰兒吃奶的人生命，的目的，但如何才有這底氣能彰顯岀神的榮耀，來見證撒但的不是，我們其實不都是一樣有驕傲貪婪叛逆不信麽。

有弟兄姊妹會後問我，這一年該如何實踐「深廣」？  

要明白「深廣」原是形容可以被量度的實體——有深度，有廣度；而靈命的深廣，也能被看見。  

例如：  

- 你渴慕神話語的深度如何？是天天參加晨禱，還是偶爾一次？  

- 當別人頂撞你時，你的反應是立刻報復，還是像耶穌那樣順服天父、以愛為先？  

- 在夫妻親密關係中，你的信任是否會被未證實的謠言動搖？  

- 在時間運用上，你是否常以滿足自己為優先？  

這些都是真實可見、可量度的「深廣」。

就像嬰孩每天需要奶才能健康成長，我們屬靈生命也一樣，需要神話語作為「屬靈的糧」。我們承認自己的心思意念容易偏差、力量微小，因此常要依靠聖靈的提醒與引導。但當我們漸漸長大，是否會開始對人指指點點，自以為是，看輕神的話，不再禱告求問？若這樣，我們就容易落入驕傲與謊言的陷阱，站錯了屬靈的陣線。

然而，神的愛是何等廣闊！耶穌為世人的罪付上贖價，使我們成為新造的人，得以在主裡活出敬虔生命，建立以神的愛為中心的家庭。611所提的「深廣」，正是呼籲我們：不是靠自己，而是凡事依靠與連於神。不要批評論斷，不要活在分辨善惡樹下，而是彼此建立，持續渴慕、相信、效法、全心依靠。如此走過每一天，我們必會經歷，神那深廣的智慧與能力，在我們生命中奇妙彰顯。

This week in morning devotion , we read the Book of Esther. It is a story of how the Jewish people were saved during the time of exile under the Medo-Persian Empire. Haman, an official of King Ahasuerus, planned to destroy the Jews, but in the end, the situation was completely reversed. Throughout the whole book of Esther, God’s name is not mentioned even once, yet Haman was destroyed on the very day he had chosen for others. This reminds us that God is the One who saves His people, and His work is truly deep and wide.

Last Sunday, I shared a message titled “The Confidence of Deep and wide in 2026.” From Psalm 8, we learned how great and glorious our God is—the Lord of heaven. By understanding the fall of the archangel Lucifer, we can better see God’s purpose for our lives, we who are like babies still needing milk, in His work of creation and salvation. But how can we have this foundation to show God’s glory and testify against Satan’s lies? Are we not all the same, often filled with pride, greed, rebellion, and unbelief?

After the service, some brothers and sisters asked me how we can practise “depth and breadth” in this year.

First, we must understand that “depth and breadth” describe something that can be measured—it has depth and it has width. In the same way, spiritual depth and breadth can also be seen.

For example:

• How strong is your desire for God’s Word? Do you join morning prayer every day, or only once in a while?

• When others offend you, do you react with revenge right away, or do you respond like Jesus, obeying the Father and choosing love first?

• In marriage, is your trust easily shaken by unproven rumours?

• In how you use your time, do you often put your own satisfaction first?

All these are real, visible, and measurable signs of “depth and breadth.”

Just as a baby needs milk every day to grow healthy, our spiritual life also needs God’s Word as spiritual food. We admit that our thoughts can easily go off track and that our strength is small, so we must often rely on the Holy Spirit’s reminder and guidance. But as we grow, do we begin to point fingers at others, think too highly of ourselves, look down on God’s Word, and stop praying and seeking Him? If so, we can easily fall into the traps of pride and lies, and stand on the wrong spiritual side.

Yet how wide is God’s love! Jesus paid the price for the sins of the world, making us new creations, so that we can live godly lives in Him and build families centred on God’s love. What 611 speaks of as “depth and breadth” is a call to us: not to rely on ourselves, but to depend on God in everything and stay connected to Him. Do not judge or criticise. Do not live under the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Instead, build one another up, continue to desire, believe, follow, and fully rely on God. As we walk this way each day, we will surely experience God’s deep and wide wisdom and power being wonderfully revealed in our lives.

在這一週，跨越2025到2026的時間，神給了我們在馬可福音中兩處經文。首先 是「你 們 要 謹 慎 ，看 哪 ， 凡 事 我 都 預 先 告 訴 你 們 了。13:23」；其次是「耶 穌 對 他 們 (門徒）說 ： 你 們 都 要 跌 倒 了 ， 因 為 經 上 記 著 說 ： 我 要 擊 打 牧 人 ， 羊 就 分 散 了 。但 我 復 活 以 後 ， 要 在 你 們 以 先 往 加 利 利 去14:27-28」

     新的一年，在我們不曉得會發生什麼事前，彷彿神預先告訴我們，要𧫴慎、要提防跌倒；但同時耶穌會如昔日對門徒說，祂復活後會在「加利利」等候衆門徒。

     今天對我們而言，我們也要領受屬靈的加利利，這不只是一個地理位置，更是每一個門徒生命轉變的起點，是與耶穌建立深厚關係、學習天國真理、見證神國度降臨的關鍵地域，並為後續的宣教使命打下了堅實的基礎。

在1/1/2026的月朔禱告會，我竟抽到神給予心意咭：詩篇23:2-3。我就知道神非常愛大家，每位弟兄姊妹、委身義工們、同工們，在新的一年裏就一同領受：

「祂 使 我 躺 臥 在 青 草 地 上 ， 領 我 在 可 安 歇 的 水 邊 。 3  祂 使 我 的 靈 魂 甦 醒 ， 為 自 己 的 名 引 導 我 走 義 路 。」的安慰帶領。

當收到母堂奇妙611的新年祝福：「2026神為你在生命樹下開每一趟門的鑰匙。」

我更肯定在喜悅611這裏將會是大家的「屬靈加利利」。

This week, as we move from 2025 into 2026, God has given us two passages from the Gospel of Mark. The first is: “Be on your guard; I have told you everything ahead of time.” (Mark 13:23) The second is: “Jesus said to his disciples, ‘You will all fall away, for it is written: “I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.” But after I rise, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.’” (Mark 14:27-28)

In this new year, even before we know what will happen, it is as if God is telling us in advance: be watchful, be careful not to fall. But at the same time, just as Jesus told his disciples, after He rises, He will be waiting for all His followers in “Galilee.”

For us today, we too are called to receive a spiritual Galilee. This is not just a physical place, but the starting point of transformation in every believer’s life. It is where we build a deep relationship with Jesus, learn the truths of His kingdom, witness God’s kingdom coming, and lay a firm foundation for the mission that follows.

During the New Moon Prayer Meeting on January 1, 2026, I drew a card with God’s message for us: Psalm 23:2-3. I knew then how much God loves each one of you—every brother and sister, every committed volunteer and co-worker. In this new year, let’s receive this together:

“He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for His name’s sake.”

And when we received the New Year blessing from our mother church, Wonderful 611:

“In 2026, God will give you the key to every door under the tree of life.”

I am even more certain that Favor 611 will be your “spiritual Galilee.”
