(bilingual) “False Joy.”
2023年8月6日
James4:6-10
説教者：Paster Ben
But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
Questions to deepen your understanding of the message.
a) Do you rejoice what the Lord rejoices, and does not what He does not?
b) What do you do when you find your heart a certain matter that makes the Lord sad?
c) Do you realize that it is a magnificent grace that you feel sad for sins in your heart?

And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house. And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

救いが来た
2023年7月30日
ルカによる福音書１９章１～１０節
説教者：カギワダベン牧師
ザアカイという名前は「清い」という意味ですが、
彼は不正に集めた金で徴税人の頭をしてました。
当時徴税人は罪深いものとして人々は口を利くのも
しなかったら、イエス様がザアカイの家に泊まると
言ったとき人々はつまずきました。でもザアカイは
イエス様を受けいれた時、全財産を投げうちました。
それは財産を超える救いが、彼の心に来たからです。
① あなたはイエス様を心の中にお迎えしていますか。
② あなたがイエス様を信じていることは、どのように証しされていますか。
③ 私たちの教会に主の臨在が溢れていると感じていますか。
(bilingual) “Self-Harming”
2023年7月23日
Luke8:26-39
説教者：Paster Ben
26 They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes,[a] which is across the lake from Galilee. 27 When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torture me!” 29 For Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places. 30 Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”“Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him. 31 And they begged Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss. 32 A large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs, and he gave them permission. 33 When the demons came out of the man, they went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned. 34 When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, 35 and the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 36 Those who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed man had been cured. 37 Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and left. 38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 “Return home and tell how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him.

自傷行為
2023年7月23日
ルカによる福音書８章２６～３９節
説教者：カギワダベン牧師
悪霊に憑かれたこの男は服も着ずに自傷し、
なんとかわいそうと思いますが、世の中には
自分を傷つけている人がたくさんおり、実は
私たちも自分を傷つけているのです。
また、彼が癒された時、喜ばれるどころか、
イエス様に早く出て行ってくれと頼みました。
でもこの姿は、今の私たちにも重なるのです。

② あなたは真の救い主を知らない人々のために、どのように福音を証ししていますか。

21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. 27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. 28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt.

2023年7月9日
I Peter 1:3-9
説教者：Paster Ben
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith — the salvation of your souls.
Questions to deepen your understanding of the message.
a) Is your joy based on the hope we have in the Lord?
b) Are you full of joy in the midst of difficulties?
c) Are you thankful that you are living in the presence of our Lord?
希望と喜び
2023年7月9日
ペトロの手紙１ １章３～９節
説教者：カギワダベン牧師
私たちが永遠の命を得るのは、死んでからでは
ありません。信仰を持ち神と歩み始めた時から、
永遠の命は始まるのです。この手紙には、
あなた方は喜んでいますと書かれていますが、
この時弟子たちは迫害の真っただ中でした。
神様が働かれるとき、試練は金のように尊く、
私たちは希望と喜びに溢れて歩めるのです。
① あなたの喜びは、主にある希望に支えられた喜びですか。
② あなたは試練の中にあっても喜びに溢れていますか。
③ あなたはキリストの臨在の中に生きていることを感謝していますか。
