一﹑本週經文Scripture：以西結書20:7 Ezekiel、加拉太書1:6-10 Galatians
以西結書20:7我對他們說：你們各人要拋棄眼所喜愛那可憎之物，不可因埃及的偶像玷污自己。我是耶和華–你們的神。
7 And I said to them, “Each of you, get rid of the vile images you have set your eyes on, and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.”
加拉太書1:6我希奇你們這麼快離開那藉著基督之恩召你們的，去從別的福音。7 那並不是福音，不過有些人攪擾你們，要把基督的福音更改了。8但無論是我們，是天上來的使者，若傳福音給你們，與我們所傳給你們的不同，他就應當被咒詛。9我們已經說了，現在又說，若有人傳福音給你們，與你們所領受的不同，他就應當被咒詛。10我現在是要得人的心呢？還是要得神的心呢？我豈是討人的喜歡嗎？若仍舊討人的喜歡，我就不是基督的僕人了。
6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel 7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! 9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse! 10 Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
二﹑禱告事項Prayer Items:
1.為加薩兒童飢餓困境禱告：這幾年來在加薩地區長期處於戰火之中，有將近七萬名無辜的兒童在缺乏食物、飲水、醫療與安全庇護的環境中。求神賜下憐憫，開通人道援助的路，使糧食、飲用水、藥品可以迅速的送達當地， 求神興起國際社會更多慈善機構成為和平與供應的管道，以愛取代仇恨與暴力。
Prayer for the Children Suffering from Hunger in Gaza. The Gaza region has been caught in ongoing conflict, with nearly seventy thousand innocent children living without adequate food, clean water, medical care, or safe shelter. We pray that God would pour out His mercy and open the way for humanitarian aid, so that food, drinking water, and medicine may quickly reach those in need. We ask God to raise up more charitable organizations in the international community to become channels of peace and provision, replacing hatred and violence with love.
2. 為下半年幸福小組籌備禱告：下半年幸福小組即將從九月份開始，求主讓我們可以邀請慕道朋友BEST，也預備同工的心預備來為福音爭戰。求主賜下智慧，讓我們不輕易放棄，從各樣的情境中可以學習傳福音的機會，再一次起來為主贏得靈魂。
Pray for the preparation of the Happiness Group in the second half of the year. As the Happiness Group is about to begin, we ask the Lord to bring BEST and prepare the hearts of the coworkers for the invitation process. May the Lord grant us wisdom, so we do not give up easily, and help us learn from failures, to stand up once again and win souls for the Lord.
3. 為教會有更多委身的同工禱告：今年至目前為止已經有超過120位新朋友來到教會，教會中各個不同崗位的事工，都需要更多同工的參與，特別是牧養與關懷的同工仍然欠缺。求主興起下一代的同工，也讓教會的裝備訓練除了注重知識的教導，也注重生命影響生命的教導。使得每一位領袖都以耶穌的生命去門訓新家人，使洛福教會每一位弟兄姊妹都能以耶穌的愛彼此相愛。
Pray for more committed coworkers in church ministry. We have had more than 120 newcomers come to our church recently, but there is still a shortage of coworkers for different ministries especially for care and equipment. Pray that the Lord raises up the next generation of leaders and not only focus on imparting knowledge but also emphasize life-on-life discipleship. May every leader disciple new members with the life of Jesus, and may every brother and sister in EFCLA love one another with the love of Jesus.
4. 為肢體禱告：請為王牧師女兒Danielle 腦部手術後的恢復禱告。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. Please pray for Danielle’s recovery after brain surgery. Also, pray that the Lord would heal those who are sick and restore their health and strength.
