(bilingual) “The Salvation is Getting Closer.”
2023年9月24日
And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.
Questions to deepen your understanding of the message.
a) When is the time to be awaken?
b) How should we spend our times in the times like now that the Day is getting closer?
c) Are you wearing Christ on yourself?

墓前礼拝
(風の音が入り、聞きにくくてすみません)
旭キリスト教会のお墓には、先人たちの骨が
入っています。でもやがて、復活の時が来た時に
神様は完全な形で私たちを復活させて下さいます。
ただ、信じないものは永遠のとがめを受けます。
そのことは今から3500年も前に聖書で警告され、
そうならないように、イエス様は十字架の上で
罪を贖って下さったのです。
救いが近づいている

召天者記念礼拝
この旭キリスト教会は、2025年で120周年を
迎えます。戦時中は多くの牧師が弾圧や拷問を
受ける中、旭キリスト教会も閉鎖され、隠れて
信徒の家に集まり、祈りを続けてきました。
先人の信仰により、今日の教会があるのです。
私たちは、神様をどう見上げているでしょうか。
ご利益目的でなく、神を主としているでしょうか。
① 「眠りから覚める時」とは、いつのことですか。
② 夜が更け昼が近づいている今、私たちはどのように歩むべきでしょうか。
③ あなたはイエス・キリストを着ていますか。
(bilingual) “Words of God that Fulfills in Time.”
2023年9月17日
There was in the days of Herod, the King of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well advanced in years. So it was, that while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his division, according to the custom of the priesthood, his lot fell to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord. And the whole multitude of the people was praying outside at the hour of incense. Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the alter of incense. And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him. But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth. For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink. He will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb. And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God. He will also go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, 'to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,' and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord." And Zacharias said to the angel, "How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years." And the angel answered and said to him, "I am Gabriel , who stands in the presence of God, and was sent to speak to you and bring you these glad tidings. But behold, you will be mute and not able to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words which will be fulfilled in their own time." And the people waited for Zacharias, and marveled that he lingered so long in the temple. But when he came out, he could not speak to them; and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple, for he beckoned to them and remained speechless. So it was, as soon as the days of his service were completed, that he departed to his own house. Now after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived; and she hid herself five months, saying, " Thus the Lord has dealt with me, in the days when He looked on me, to take away my reproach among people."

(bilingual) “One who delights in the Law of the Lord.”
2023年9月10日
Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.
He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whaterer he does shall prosper.
The ungodly are no so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgement, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Questions to deepen your understanding of the message.
a) Do you truly repent when you commit a sin?
b) Do you delight in the Word of the Lord?
c) How much of the Scripture do you memorize?

感謝して日々歩もうではありませんか。

2023年9月3日
Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off. And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus,
Master, have mercy on us!” So when He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan. So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.”

Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said to him, "Do you believe in the Son of God?" He answered and said, "Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?" And Jesus said to him, "You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you." Then he said, "Lord, I believe!" And he worshiped Him. And Jesus said, "For judgement I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind." Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, "Are we blind also?" Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, 'We see.' Therefore your sin remains."
