弟兄姊妹平安:
那真正拜父的，要用心靈和誠實拜他！(約4:23)
基督徒生命的標誌就是窮一生之力學習敬拜。敬拜獨一的真神，祂是天地的創造主，世人的救贖主，祂是我們在天上的父。
耶穌教導我們，敬拜神的，也不是在這山上，也不在那山上。神是靈，敬拜神的人是以「靈」以「真」去敬拜他！這裏有兩個學習的層次，我們是在神的靈引導下去親近神。聖靈是我們的保惠師，也是真理的靈，引領我們進入真理。我們敬拜神是在聖靈和真理中去敬拜祂。在主日崇拜的敬拜中，我們學習認識父、耶穌基督和聖靈，並努力去服事祂。
另一個學習敬拜的層次，就是敬拜神的人發自心靈深處的愛慕去親近神，並獻上最真誠整全的「我」。在敬拜中，將身體獻上，當作活祭，是聖潔的、是神所喜悅的，我們如此事奉，乃是理所當然的。在每一次的主日崇拜，我們學習認識自己的「老我」和「新人」，檢視內心，有什麼事情攔阻我們在主面前享受安息！
新冠疫情給教會的主日崇拜帶來了前未曾有的衝擊和考驗。在疫情的高峰期，守着病疫衛生指引，不能在教會實體崇拜，只能各自留在家中，藉著網絡的音頻和視像串連，我們的心聚在一起以「靈」以「真」地敬拜主。
現在，除了個別身體軟弱的肢體，仍需要倚賴網絡參加崇拜，我們都當聚集在神的家，把七日的頭一日分別為聖，奉獻給主。這是我們紀念主從墳墓裏復活的日子，我們活在主裡面，祂也活在我們裡面，我們就能勝過罪惡的捆綁，世界的試探和魔鬼的攻擊。
願主耶穌基督的恩惠，天父的慈愛，聖靈的感動，常與你們眾人同在!

Dear brothers and sisters,
The true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth. (John 4:23)
Learning to worship for life is the logo of Christians, to worship the only true God Who is the Creator of heavens and earth, the Redeemer, and our Father in heaven.
Jesus taught us to worship God, neither on this mountain nor on that mountain. God is Spirit, and those who worship God worship Him in Spirit and in truth. There are two levels of learning here. We draw near to God under the guidance of the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is our Comforter and the Spirit of truth, leading us into the truth. We worship God in the Spirit and in the truth. In Sunday worship services, we learn to know the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit and strive to serve Him.
Another level is that those who worship God draw near to God with the deepest love in their hearts and offer their most sincere whole self. In worship, we present our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, this is our true and proper worship. In every Sunday Service, we learn to know our “old self” and “new creation”, searching our hearts to see what is preventing us from enjoying rest before the Lord,
Covid has brought unprecedented shocks and tests to the Sunday Service. During the peak of the pandemic, we had to follow health guidelines which did not allow us to worship in the church but could only stay at home to worship the Lord in the Spirit and in truth via the internet.
Now, apart from those who still need to join the online Service due to health issues, we should all gather in God’s house and dedicate the first day of the week to the Lord. This is the day we commemorate the resurrection of the Lord. We abide in the Lord and He abides in us, so that we can overcome the bondage of sin, the temptations of the world, and the attacks of the devil.
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of the Father, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
In Him,
Sam Wong
