一﹑本週經文Scriptures:以弗所書2:8-10 Ephesians
8 你們得救是本乎恩,也因著信。這並不是出於自己,乃是 神所賜的;9 也不是出於行為,免得有人自誇。10 我們原是他的工作,在基督耶穌裡造成的,為要叫我們行善,就是 神所預備叫我們行的。
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God– 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
1. 為下一代的青少年禱告:Alpha世代(2010年後生的孩子)正面對社群網路的普及及高度數位化的環境,並且他們投入網路的時間以經超過在現實生活中與家人、同儕相處的時間。求神幫助父母能教導孩子學習時間管理,並重視網路世界的安全性,善用數位產品,使孩子們不受虛擬世界的綑綁。
Pray for the next generation of teenagers. Alpha Gen (Who are born after 2010) is facing the prevalence of social networks and a highly digitized environment.
