一、本週經文 Scriptures: 列王記上19:9-14 1 King
9 他在那裡進了一個洞，就住在洞中。耶和華的話臨到他說：「以利亞啊，你在這裡做甚麼？」 10 他說：「我為耶和華─萬軍之 神大發熱心；因為以色列人背棄了你的約，毀壞了你的壇，用刀殺了你的先知，只剩下我一個人，他們還要尋索我的命。」 11 耶和華說：「你出來站在山上，在我面前。」那時耶和華從那裡經過，在他面前有烈風大作，崩山碎石，耶和華卻不在風中；風後地震，耶和華卻不在其中； 12 地震後有火，耶和華也不在火中；火後有微小的聲音。 13 以利亞聽見，就用外衣蒙上臉，出來站在洞口。有聲音向他說：「以利亞啊，你在這裡做甚麼？」 14 他說：「我為耶和華─萬軍之 神大發熱心；因為以色列人背棄了你的約，毀壞了你的壇，用刀殺了你的先知，只剩下我一個人，他們還要尋索我的命。」
9 There he went into a cave and spent the night. And the word of the LORD came to him: “What are you doing here, Elijah?” 10 He replied, “I have been very zealous for the LORD God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, torn down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too.” 11 The LORD said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. 12 After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. 13 When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” 14 He replied, “I have been very zealous for the LORD God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, torn down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too.”
二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
1.為青少年禱告：根據調查，青少年不再去教會的其中一個原因，是因為「缺乏溝通」。青少年往往認為，長輩手中握有權柄，並站在道德制高點來看待事情，使他們感覺不到被同理，進而不願意去教會。求神幫助基督徒家庭能靠著神的話語，靈命再次甦醒過來，並且能夠堅定、信實地將信仰傳承給下一代。
Pray for Youth Group. According to surveys, one of the reasons why young people no longer attend church is due to a “lack of communication”. Young people often feel that elders hold authority and take a moral high ground in viewing things, making them feel misunderstood, and thus unwilling to go to church. Pray that God will help Christian families, through the guidance of God’s Word, to revive their spiritual lives again, and be able to pass on their faith steadfastly and faithfully to the next generation.
2.為信徒裝備課程禱告：教會本季5-7月為信徒開設：聖經研讀「哥林多前書」、「列王記下研讀」、我為何要信-「信仰問答課程」、豐盛的恩光-聖經縱覽課程。幫助信徒更加認識真理。請為教學的老師們禱告，也為所有信徒能夠渴慕神的話語禱告，透過聖經的裝備邁向成熟的生命。
Pray for Adult Sunday School Class. The church will offer some Adult Sunday School Classes: “1 Corinthians, 2 Kings”, “Why I should Believe-Faith Course”, “Abundant Grace- Knowing Bible Course “, These courses help believers gain a deeper understanding of God’s words. Let us pray for the teachers who are leading these courses, that they may be empowered by the Holy Spirit. Let us also pray for all believers to have a deep thirst and desire for God’s Word. May they be equipped through studying the Scriptures and grow towards spiritual maturity.
3.為暑期短宣隊禱告：今年將有短宣隊於六月下旬前往吉爾吉斯、台灣台中城市歡呼教會，有些參與七月「台灣西海岸短宣」及八月前往 El Cajon 短宣。今年短宣經費約需5萬元，目前尚有一些經費上的需要，求神感動弟兄姊妹為宣教奉獻，供應今年短宣的需要。
Pray for STM. The church would send off a STM team to Kyrgyzstan and Taiwan in late June, and another STM team to Taiwan West Coast Mission and El Cajon, CA in July & August. We need sixty thousand dollars for STM. Pray that the Lord would move people give for STM.
4. 為肢體禱告：為你所知道身體欠安的弟兄姊妹禱告，求神醫治他們恢復身體的健康。
Pray for the Sick. Pray that the Lord would heal those who are sick and restore their health and strength.
